TEWELED PRINCES OF INDIA.
Barbaric SpIendOr of the Guilxwar

N with His Gems.

The princes ''beggar description"

The crown jewels of the guikwar of
Baroda are valued at $20,000,000. No
bluevault of Dresden nor dragon

waited of India's princes, Sivajo-Rao

Seven rows of ma gnifcent pearls
are his favorite wear, but he has so
necklaces of equal value-parures in
every gem. First in wonder comes the
famous diamond cape made for the fe-
rocious Khandarao, who might be
called the last of Roman emperors

A girl in Indiana played post office
at party the other night and yelled
and shrieked and howled and ran be-
hind the door and scratched the young
mans face in seven places, upset a
lamp, kicked over the piano stool and
when he finally kissed her on the tip
of the ear she tainted dead away and
said she could never look anybody inthe
face again. They led the bashful, mod
est, gentle, sobbing creature home and

ried lightning rod peddler who had a

IN THE ALLIGATOR PONDS.
The Reptiles Collect in Great Num-
bers in the Swamps of the
Florida Coast.

Alligator hunting used to be wanton
slaughter; now there is well-defned
code of ethics for the sportsman. Ten
years ago it would have been hard to
oyerestimate the number of alligators
in Florida. Since then the skin hunt
ers have made such inroads upon them
that they are now almost difficult to
find in some localities. The home of
the alligator is the Great Cypress
swamp west Of the Everglades In
the dry season the water recedes from
great portions of this tract, Leaving
many small ponds, in which alligators
collect in great numbers.
1 once Set up my camera on the bor-
der of one of these ponds, which was
nearly circular in form, about 200 feet
in diameter, and surrounded by dense
vegetation, says writer in Country
Life in America. At first the reptiles
disappeared, but after the camera was
adjusted a peculiar nasal sound, like
the cawing of a crow, initiated with
closed nostrils, Immediately dotted the
surface with eager eyes, and soon
brought scores of gators into full
view. One of the pictures then OBJ
tanned shows Is alligators.

NEWSPAPERS IN COLLEGES.
STYLE of journalism Peculiar tn
American Universities That
Support DaiIies.

There are IA colleges in the United
States which publish a newspaper
every weekday. College journalism
is peculiar to America, as in no other
country in the world is such work
undertaken, says the Princetonian.
Three of these papers have become
dailies this fall-the Columbia Spec
tator, the Daily Maroon, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, and the Indiana
University Daily. The Harvard Echo,
which was started in 1879, was the
first college newspaper to be pub
lished daily Later it was merged
with the Weekly Crimson under the
latter's name. About the same time,
at New Haven, the Yale Daily News
was started. In 1880 the Cornell
Daily Sun appeared, and some time
later the Princetonian, organized in
1876, became daily. Pennsylvania
was the fifth coll ege to publish. a
newspaper every day, and started the
Pennsylvania in 1855, it later be-
coming daily. In 1891 the Brown
Daily Herald was started at Brown
university. The western daily col
lege papers are as follows: At the
University of California, the Cali
fornian; at Leland Stanford, Jr.,
university, the Palo Alta DAILY; at the
University of Minnesota, the Daily
Minnesota; at the University of Wis
consin, the Daily Cardinal and a.
the University of Michigan, the U. of
M. Daily.

REFUSES GERMANY'S DEMAND.
Minister Bowen Declines Request for
Immediate Payment of e., 800
by Venezuela.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The German
government, through it's representa-
tive here, Baron Spec Won Sternberg.
has made request of Mr.. Bowen for
the immediate payment of the 6 $500
which it was stipulated in the protoc oil
signed on February 13 should be paid
within 30 days from that date, as a
preliminary to the raising of the block
ade against Venezuelan ports, and the
agreement to send the question of
preferential treatment of the blockad-
ing nations to The Hague for deter
mination. Mr.. Bowen promptly de-
clined to accede to the request, but
informed Baron Sternberg that as pro-
vided in the protocol the money would
be paid to the German representative
at Caracas 80 days from February ID,
which would be on the 18th of March.

VARIETY STARS WIN TITLES.
Many German NOblemen Fall Victims
to the Charms of Dancers
and Actresses.

The number of variety dancers and
singers in Germany who get notable
hus bands-nota bic that is to say, as
regards titles and riches-is rapidly in
creasing, says a Berlin report. An in
curing statistician has ascertained
that 60 per cent. of German variety
actresses who marry win husbands in
far better social position than their
birth and training would have: led them
to expect, and 20 per cent. wed men of
title. At the present time 38 counts
have wives who were comedy actresses
or dancers. A Prussian prince (Adal-
bert) is geographically married to
Therese Elsstair and Prince Philip of
Hanan to Albertine Staber. Among
other bearers of proud names who have
recently married stage women are
Duke Ernst of Nuremberg, Prince
Sulkowsky, Prince Paul of Thurn and
Taxis and Count Schafranch. Every
year the number of such marriages in

MOTORS IN DESERT SANDS.
Trial Trip of a Military Conveyance
Containing Forty Soldiers
in Egypt.

The Egyptian government, second
ed by the British motorist enthusiasts
on the Cairo staff, has successfully
completed a series of experiments in
desert travelling by motor, reports the
London Express.
A desert motor-wagon conveying a
half company, consisting of 40 SOL
diers, at Abbassieh, spun down the
Suez road, negotiating the rough pas
sage in fine style. On getting into
the desert the real trial began.
Where the sand was fairly firm good
running was made. The wagon was
fitted with tires having broad Ranges,
which gripped we'll and drove the ma
chine onward. Where the sand was
very loose the going was difficult, the
wheels occasionally churning sand
without progressing, and making it
necessary for the "gypsies'' to get out
and give friendly push. This fault
will be removed by the use of broader
tires.
Hill-climbing experiments were
made in Cairo, and a wagon carrying
freight equal to three tons covered
the great citadel hill in IA MINUTES
without a stop. The representatives
of the ministry and the army were
we'll satisfied with the general eff
cheney of the wagon for transporting
troops, and a report is being made
upon it by Miralai Peake Bey, c. M. G..
Trial was also made of a desert
transport wagon for camel, horse,
mule or motor traction.
The Arab population were amazed
at the two machines blowing the des-
ert, and named them "the big and lit
tie devils"

The WAY of 1t.

According to Belgian paper WON
an whose husband had lost his life in a
railway accident received from the
company 10000 francs by way of com
pensation Shortly after she heard OF
q traveller who had lost a leg and had
been paid 10000 francs. The widow +
once put on her bonnet and shawl and
went to the Office of the company
"Gentlemen, how is this?" she asked.
"You give 10000 francs for leg, and
YOU allowed me only 10000 francs for
the loss of my husband" Madam. y
was the reply, ''the reason is plain.
Twenty thousand francs won't provide
him with leg, but for 10000 francs
YOU can get husband"

SCHOOLS MAY BUY INSECTS.
State EntOm oIOgists of New York to
Supply Small Collections at
Nominal Fee.

Arrangements have been made by
the state entomologist of New York
to supply schools DESTROYS Of such aid
with small collections of insects upon
the payment of a nominal fee.
These collections are designed to illus
trate courses in zoology, biology, ma
ture study, and, says the New York
Times, it is announced that they will
be classified into the following divi-
sions:
1. A systematic collection of about
100 epresenta tives of the principal or
ders, with series illustrating the
transformation of species having both
complete and incomplete metamor-
phoses.
2. A collection of about 100 of the
more common interesting species
found in the field, together with Sc
ries illustrating the various stages and
habits of some of the more important
forms.
3. The same as No. 2, but COM
posed largely of insects met with in
the spring. =.
4. Special collections of about the
same size as those described and rep
resenting limited groups, for example:
Economic insects, mimicry, bees and
their allies, flies, butterflies and
moths, etc. These special collections
will be prepared only in response to
several requests. Other phrases of in
sect life may be illustrated if there
be a demand for it.

RED HAIR AND MATRIMONY.

A red-headed young woman from
South Dakota has brought suit for
damages against an Iowa young man
who broke his engagement because OF
the color of her hair. Without seeking
to prejudice the outcome of the suit, it
may be said that sympathy will go out
to the young woman who is thus vlgOr-
orously attempting to vindicate the
rights of red-headed people. Accord
ing to the account, the course of true
love was not even rippled until the
visit of the bride-to-be at the home of
her fancee. Then for the first time the
mother -law-elact learned the color
of the hair of the daughter elect. She
protested, the son weakly yielded, and
the indignant young woman at
once sought lawyer
Provided the Geographic account of
the case be accurate, there seems to be
only one side to the affair. Of what
use is the constitutional amendment
granting the equal protection OF the
laws to all citizens, if the privileges OF
red-headed persons may be curtailed
with impunity? Many little boy and
girl has rushed weeping home from
school because the other children cried
"Ready" or "Sorrel-top." The lot OF
auburn-headed children is usually hard
But not even the hardest heart could
desire to condemn them to celibacy
simply because their hair happened not
to be of the prevailing hues. The De-
laration Of Independence and the con-
stitution are not the only grounds for
opposing the infringement of the nat
ural rights Of persons with auburn
hair People look enough alike as it
is, heaven knows. And the elimination
of red hair, with it's varying shades,
would tend to promote a wearisome
monotony in personal pearance.
The dun color of antelopes is supposed
to have resulted from the destruction
of those whose livelier hues made them
easily seen by their pursuers in the
forest. Should the Iowa matrimonial
boycott of red-headed persons become
general, the race would soon be as
lacking in the variety as the antelope.
Besides, red headed persons have had
conspicuous parts in history. The
world could ill have spared David and
Caesar and Barbarossa and Queen
Elizabeth and Till and Thomas JeHer-
+son-to mention only a few. 1t is
ashort-sighted, then and ungracious in,
the extreme to discriminate against
persons with auburn hair. Fortunate
ly they are usually quite capable OF
unfolding their rights. Their temper
ament does not lead them to sit and
NOPE when their privileges are threat
ened. The Iowa matron might have
known what would happen when she
broke her sons engagement with red
headed girl.

Buffalo BIaned the Way.

1t is an interesting fact that the
great railways of this country follow
very closely along the old Indian trails,
and that the red men, in their turn, fol"
lowed the trail of the buffalo, says
Four-Track News Engineers surveyed
routes across the continent, laying out
lines for the railways to follow, but,
after all, it was the buffalo, guided only
by natural instinct, which "blazed the

If it is true, as some people have
been heard to assert, that Advertisements
are rarely read, why is it that requests
sometimes come that certain notices
of which the law requires publication
be placed in the most obscure portion
of the paper? 1t is fact beyond sue
cessful dispute that everything enter
ing into the paper is seen by some
body, and that somebody may be the
identical individual whom you desire
to interest in goods that you have and
of which he stands in need. Yon want
to secure his attention and you will
never find a better medium through
which to do it than the newspaper.
