COST A PRETTY SUM.
Ceremonies at Durbar Required Ex-
penditure of &c., 900, 900.
Lord Curx0n Praised for So Success.
fully Carrying Out Spectacle
Which Was Unique in the
Annals of World.

Now that the magnificence Of the
durbar has gone, people are counting
the cost. Including the bill the In
dian government will have to pay, the
expenditures incurred by the Indian
princes and chiefs and the English
governors and lieutenant governors,
i: is safe to say that at least $10,000,-
600 has been spent in furnishing a
spectacle unique in the annals of the
world.
The Indian governments bill is like
ly to exceed $3,750,0O0. The cost to
Lord Curzon personally has been very
great, for a large number of guests
were entertained by him entirely at
his own expense.
The expenses OF the native princes
and chiefs vary greatly, from the $780,
600 said to have been spent by the
Nizam of Hyderabad to the $5O,O00,OOO,
for which sum the minor chiefs were
able to make but an Indifferent dis
play. When it is remembered that the
number of these princes and chiefs
reaches nearly 100, the total expendi-
ture can easily be calculated.
The governors of Madras and Bonn
bay and lieutenant governors of the
several provinces found it possible by
the exercise of careful European SUI
pervision to keep down the complete
cost of their camps to about $4,000
Of the various events the procession
durbar was undoubtedly the most i'm
pressive, and the review of the retinues
of the native chiefs was the most pic
turesque, while the natives appreciated
the fireworks most of all.
The ball in the Dewaniam was the
most gorgeous scene, as the investiture
was the most stately, but the weari-
some state entry into Delhi was very
remarkable as an example of organiza-
ton.
1t is wonderful that no accidents oc-
Cured during the long procession of
elephants, carriages, horse and foot
through the streets.
Lord Curzon is to be warmly con-
graduated on the result of his hard
work.

EXPENSIVE ASPARAGUS.
A Luxury In HOthOuse Vegetables
That Is for the Very
Rich Only.

81 suppose the costliest Of all vege-
tables sold here at this time of the
year, or at any time, for that matter"
said a dealer in fine fruits and vege-
tables, reports the New York Sun,
would be the dollhouse asparagus
that has just come in. IT is produced
by a grower in Illinois. This retails
now at ten dollars a dozen punches, or
one dollar bunch. Each bunch is like
by grower in Illinois. This retails
OF these some are sure to be pretty
slender, so that you don't get very
much asparagus for dollar.
"Take the stalks big and little, as
they run, and they cost you about IS
cents apiece. The prices for this as
paragus hold up pretty well till say
along in March, when they get down
to about $7.50 dozen.
"There is more of such asparagus
sold than formerly, but altogethes
there is not very great quantity,
though there are more people in New
York now than ever before well able to
buy whatever Injuries they want, and
they buy costly fruits and vegetables
more freely than they ever did"

IN FOURTEEN FEET OF ICE.
PlOw It's Way Through Thick
FIOPA in the North.

Admiral Makarov, in an interesting
paper before the Russian Imperial &C.
ographical society, at ST. Petersburg,
has summed up the results attained by
him in polar navigation on the Yer
max.
His attempt in 1899 showed the hull
was too weak to bear the pressure Of
the ice pack heaped up by it's own mo-
ton. After strengthening and reshap-
ing the bows, the Yermak madeits Sec

In two voyages between Nova Zem-

was finally hemmed in and delayed
three weeks off the former island on
account of the immense masses of ice 60
feet high driven up by unusually per-
sistent southern winds.

THE SUBURBAN G1GGLE.

Peculiar to Some Oud-of-

"There is no doubt about it, in my
opinion" remarked fair suburbanite,
according to the New York Tribune.
people deteriorate by living in the
country. The men give up dressing
for dinner and become sloyenly in
their apparel and careless about their
manners, and the women acquire a GER
tain rusticity, which is very recogniz-
able. The funny part of it, too" she
continued. "is that they all acquire a
certain resemblance to each her in
appearance and manners. This shows
itself especially among the young
women who have been born and bred
in genteel suburbs. l do not mean
common people at all" she explained.
II am talking Of those of good social
class, who are well connected and rea-
sonably well off, but who, nevertheless,
are hopelessly provincial. AS belong
to the species myself" she interpolat-
ed, IL suppose can say what please.
for | make no doubt that am as bad as
the rest. Have you ever noticed, by
the by, how many country women
have the same curious, nervous little
laugh? Now, | am sure that must be
due to suburban living, for l have
heard precisely the same giggle at
widely divergent places. 1t is a per-
fectly mirthless. spasmodic cachinna-
ton, delivered either before or after
sentence, as: How are you, hee-hee-
hee" or I nearly missed my train.
Hee-heep And so on. One woman L
know has got so into the habit of pre-
missing everything she says with what

ago, when | met her wearing mourn

THE HEIGHT OF FORMALLY.
Al 1t Was Reached in a Dom e. tic
Matter Between "HiRh-Falutin"
Fam les,

With the exception of substitution
OF names. the incident herewith re-
lated is absolutely true, says the Phila-
delphia Record. 1t illustrates the fond
ness for the initials and hyphenated
names displayed by some people who
are socially ambitious. and also the
ridicule that sometimes falls to the
lot of the ''high-falutin" ones. A Ger
mantown woman, wishing to get
reference from the former employer of
a nurse girl, wrote as follows in the
third person: "Mrs. O. Whata-C hump
would esteem 1t great favor if Mrs.
John j. Smith would furnish a refer
ence as to character and ability Of
Mary A. Brady, who formerly lived
with Mrs. John j. Smith. Mrs. o.
Whata-Chump has many social en-
gagements which prevent her from
giving her personal attention to her
children, and it is very necessary that
her maid should be thoroughly eff
Gent" When Mrs. John j. Smith re-
ceived this communication, in spirit
of fun and sarcasm she framed the fol
lowing reply: "Mrs. J. Jones-Smith
presents her compliments to Mrs. O.
Whata-Churm and cheerfully recon-
mends Miss NJ Agnes Brady as an eff
ficient nurse maid. Miss M. Agnes
Brady has in the past carefully catered
to the wants of Master L. Barrett
Joues-Smith, and Master 10 Jones'
Smith, Jr. Furthermore, Miss A. Ag-
mes Brady is kind and gentle, and does
not shy at trains or trolley cars"

WHY THEY TATTOO.
Strange Relief of Women In ths
LaughlAn Islands, Near
New Guinea.

In several islands Of the IndoPacific
region, saws Prof. Thilenius, who
has been closely studying the subject
for some months, the belief prevails
that persons who are tattooed have
much better chance of getting safely
into the next world than those who are
not tattooed, says the New York Her.
aid.
As a typical example, he cites the
case of the women in the baughlan Is
lands. a small group east of the south
ern end OF New Guinea. These women
tattoo the greater part of their bodies
with angled designs, but never fail to
tattoo concentric circles on their legs.
They believe that between the
Laughlan islands and the island OF
Vatum, in the Trobriand group, to
which their souls should go, there Is a
great snake over which they must pass
The snake asks each soul for her tat
tooing, and the soul takes 1t off and
gives it to the snake, who covers itself
with it, The snake then becomes
broad and fiat, and the soul passes over
it as over a bridge.
If, however, the soul Is not tattooed,
the snake shrinks, and the soul falls
into the sea and cannot reach the bless
sed sanctuary in Vatum. Moreover,
worse still, these wretched souls are
straigh tway changed into fish.
This strange belief has prevailed in
the Laughlan islands for a long time,
and there is no evidence thatitis dying

ACTIVE VOLCANO IN UTAH.
Small Crater Recently Discovered y
PrOSpectOrs In Salt Lake
Region.

What appears to be partly active
volcano crater has just been discovered
by George McNeme and several other
prospectors, at n point about 20 miles
north of Moab and two miles east of
where Salt Wash crosses Salt valley,
and about six miles south OF Richard
son post Office, reports the Salt Lake
Tribune.
On high mesa the prospectors dis
covered steam or smoke rising some
distance from where they were and on
investigation found that it rose from
a hole in the solid sandstone formation.
The oriiice is oblong, about three feet
in width and six feet long.
A strong current of warm air carry
ing some vapor arises, but seems to
have little or no gaseous smell. The
sides of the hole are very black and
sooty. A rock thrown in apparently
falls long distance. The prospectors
working in that section will make fur
ther investigation.
This section has been prospected
over for a number Of years, and cattle
and sheepmen have ridden over it for
the past rs years without discovering
the crater. The prospectors who Wis
tied it say they would not have found
it but for seeing the steam arise, as it
is place that would be unlikely to be
passed. 1t appears to be an old volcan-
ic vent that has been lying dormant for
years and is just beginning to show
signs Of activity.

WANT WOMEN PARTNERS,
In business CompaCrts Women No
Longer Prefer Men az at One
Time They Did.

"When woman in business wants to
extend her trade and increase her cap
ital by taking in a partner, she seeks
for another woman" said an agent
who makes good income by managing
transactions of this kind in connec-
ton with a real estate business, re-
ports the New York Times. SIN for
mer days, when woman's husband
died and left her with profitable
business on her hands, she either sold
it or took in n man as a partner. AS
a general thing it ended in the mans
woman selling out at very much re
duced figure. But as rule women
know much more about business than
they DID a few years ago, and are keep
ing alive to opportunities for turning
over their money at quick profits. Men
in our line Of business have on their
books a number Of women who have
anywhere from S. 900 to $4,000 to in
vest in some cOngcnial occupation,
where they can take Il personal part
in the management. As a rule, part
nerships Of this sort are good money
makers. Whenever a man and n wom-
an go into business partnership,
there Is trouble. The woman is ever
suspicious that the man Is trying to
take unfair advantage Of her, and the
man is seldom slow in expressing his
conviction thai the woman is slow,
and hasn't grain OF common sense.
In the stenographer's business women
partnerships are very frequent. Some
OF them have the most profitable es-
adjustments In town"
