SHAFTS PRECIOUS GLOBE.
Made of Solid Gold with All Marks
and boa ndartes of Precious
Stones. p.

It appears that persons have not
been altogether mistaken in suppos-
ing that the shah of Persia possesses
some treasures that cannot be match
ed ON earth A brief statement as to
the extent of his riches is found in
the Courier des Etates Unis," says a
translation made for the Literary
Digest.
The English jeweler who offered
the shah the modest sum of $4,000
900 for the jewels which he wears on
ceremonial occasions probably knew
what he was about, and would at
least have stood a good chance to get
his money back if the offer had been
accepted. But what would he or any
one else do withs the famous terres-
trial globe which his majesty pos
sesses at Teheran?
This globe is made of solid gold
and weighs about seventy pounds.
The boundaries of countries, and 9TH
er marks, are made of precious
stones, the total number of which is
said to be more than SO 900. The
oceans are represented by thousands
of emeralds, Persia is blue with many
turquoises, Africa is ablaze with
rubies, France and England sparkle
with hundreds of diamonds. How de-
ightful it would be to study geog-
raphy from globe like that.

Sulu is queer land of piracy. poly
gamy and slavery. Nearly all the in
habitants are Mohammedan Malays, to
whom the Spaniards gave the name
Moros in remembrance of other Moham-
medans that had been in times past a
terror to the Spanish peninsula. The
name has stood for daredevil deeds and
piracy of the most daring sort, and the
present day Moros pride themselves on
the reputation of their people. Those
who know them declare they are not
quite so courageous as they think them
selves, but they like TO be considered big
braves and swagger around considerably.

still holds it's own.
And here amongst the best and new.

skirts are becoming. The loose blouse

though there is tendency to wear
tight-fitting bodices, the lines of souple

preserved.
The walstband, for Instance, shows
tendency towards tightness 1t is
so much boned that it almost forms
corset in itself, and some of the
most charming early Victorian fichu
effects are enhanced by the addition
of beautifully fitted, pointed waist
bands.
Personally, I like the fuller skirts.

showing a high crown and a wider
brim in front, but caught abruptly up
at the back, where great, thick choux
rest on the couture, which, by the way.
is mostly high once again over here.
A great many of the new hats are
trimmed with ruches of satin or vel
vet, and with wings across the back.
1t is a little early yet to talk of fur
toques, but there will be some charm
ing mixtures of fur, velvet and lace.
Velvet headgear, | believe, will be
a feature of next months fashions.
Entire hats of satin will also be nov
city. But millinery nowadays is most
fascinating, and the construction of a
chapeau represents most wonderful
artistic genius and discloses excellent
workmanship and fine stitchery. In
hats, lines should be bold and ma
terials beautiful, and although a GER
tain amount of airy daintiness and
effect can be achieved with cheap mus
Inns and lace during the summer
months, this does not do in the au-
tumn. A felt or velvet hat must be
distinctive and exquisite in shape and
color.
Simplicity is always the highest per.
lection of the milliner's art, and can
safely say the picture hat of the COM
ing season will be surprisingly beauti-
full and artistic.
Berries and autumn flowers will be
seen a good deal at first. Chrysanthe-
NUNS and shaded camellias made of
mixed panne and silk in wonderful
shadings will be the favorites.
For the moment travelling hats in
soft chip and Panama, simply trimmed
with foulard scarves, are en- evidence,
and these will gradually give place to
felts. Nowadays, if we visit the lead
ing tailors and hatters we can get
toques admirably suited to outdoor
sports, but these are specialties which
do not come into the category Of new
millinery. 1t is only within the last
few years that we have been able to
really look our best when wearing
practical headgear; to do so now still
needs care and discrimination, for
soft, picturesque headgear is more
suited to the majority of women than
tweed cap But with skilful manipu'
lation of the brim and careful choice
of colors leading milliners have
achieved success in this line.

A CITY HORSES MISCHIEF.
Sings Water at Passing People While
Drinking at a Public
Fountain.

1t is a common thing for horses drink
ing from a trough to raise their mouths
from the water and shake their heads in
such a manner as TO scatter the water
about. There is a horse hauling mail
wagon from the post Office that drinks at
the horse fountain in Mail street, and he
seems to do this intelligently, with a
view of wetting the bystanders, says
the New York Sun.
This horse drinks slowly-he takes
his time-and at irregular intervals ne
raises his head suddenly and filings the
water off his nose distance of three or
four feet. Anybody standing within
that distance of the fountain and I'M
conscious of what was coming would
be sure to get wet before he could jump
back.
Half q dozen or more men and boys
were standing at safe distance around
this fountain while the water-throwing
horse was drinking the other day, wait
ing apparently to see somebody get
wet. The horse, drinking demurely,
would occasionally raise his head sud-
denly, and scatter the water from his
lips over the sidewalk to the front, and
when he did this the people standing
around, at safe distance, would look
wise and smile.
HE makes me think OF the water
throwing SEAL said one passerby,
bringing to mind the big West Indian
seal that for so long at the Aquarium
made fun for thousands by squirting
water over the bystanders around it's
pool.

in which he administers justice: "A Moro
lost a carabao by theft, he located
the thief and complained to the sultan.
who fined the thief $105 and confiscated
the carabao"
The sultan is described as small man
with a repulsive face, his thick, protrud-
ing lips, fiat nose and swarthy skin in
dicating his Malay origin. His costume,
when he is dressed for an audience with
white men, is copied from European
modes, with few little details added to
suit his own fancy-evening dress suit,
Diamond shirtstuds, very large dia-
mond ring on his finger, huge pearl for
further adornment, tan shoes on his feet,
a black and white turban on his head.
The sultan's mother has long been the
mower behind the throne and is person.
atty deserving Of extended mention.
Somebody should make her heroine OF
a comic opera-or perhaps, rather,
tragedy, she being fond OF dealing in
nelson's and other tragic accessories. The
sultan is sufficiently mothered; and
wiyed, believe, beyond the extent OF the
law: but he is childless.

United States made terms with the sui
tan, the latter was to receive from the
former certain pension, and his dattos,
during good behavior" also were to be
remunerated, or pensioned, or given
tribute--whatever way one may please to
look at it.
The Spaniards looked upon the Moros
as fierce and bloodthirsty, but the Amer
leans have been able to advance in friend
ly relations with them and have gone
among them pretty freely. And it may
be that as the popularity of the Amer
leans has increased there has been cor
responding decrease in that of the abb
trary sultan.
The sultan is greedy as well as arbi-
trary and for some time has been very
unpopular with his subjects. The best
of the pearls go to the sultan, and he re-
ceives other taxes from the pearl fishing
The revenues being derived from arbi-
trary fines, one cannot wonder that in
Sulu blessed is nothing. 1t is said the
sultan will do anything for money, and
the following story is told of the manner

UR friend, the sultan of Sulu,
: : J; !; ]: 8: ]; !: ]: ]: J: J;
NI|N is no longer an American SUBJ
H1NNlM ject He has left his native
from his feet, and taken up
residence in Singapore. There have ac-
companied him into exile his six wives,
his retinue or slaves, and the magnificent
datros that form his cabinet.
The reason assigned for his departure
is the increasing weakness of his hold
upon the throne, and two causes are given
for this decrease of power: one that the
American invasion has affected his au~
thority, the other the fact that he has no
male heirs. 1t is believed that the sui
tan, who is physical wreck, will not
have long to enjoy life in the Straits set
tlement, not long to enjoy the pension
from the United States. A short life and
merry one, is evidently the motto of
this royal parsonage.
Among the poorer classes in Sulu a
man seldom aspires to more than one
wife-he can't afford it. But the sultan,
the dattos, and some of the other chiefs
indulge in plurality of wives, being en-
couraged thereto by their religion, the
Mohammedan. When the United States
made treaty with the sultan, promise was
given him that our government would
