Other crowned heads who appeal TO the public

ELABORATE CHAIR OF STATE.
One of Queen Victoria's Presents to
BE on Exhibition.

One of Queen Victoria's Presents to
BE on Exhibition.
Among the priceless treasures COM
nrising the jubilee presents of Queen
Victoria, which have been sent to
America for exhibition at the worlds
fair, is a wonderful ivory chair and
footstool. These were presented to the
late queen by the Maharajah of Ira
vancore.
The carving ON the chair and foot
stool is a revelation Of the possibilities
Of art The feet are in the form Of
lions paws, and the arms terminate
in lions heads. The back is in the
form Of a shell, supported by elephants,
rampant. The seat is OF alabaSter, and
the chair has gold and silver tissue
drapery around the underside Of the
frame, finished with tassels and richly
chased ormolu ornaments. The cush
ions are Of green velvet, embroidered
in gold and silver thread. Every out
side part of the chair is covered with
delicately carver figures of men and
animals.
This maharajah, not satisfied with
this truly princely gift, presented also
to her majesty two immense pairs of
elephants tusks. The official descrip-
ton of these are as follows:
1. Pair of elephants tusks, mount
ed on a buffalo's head, carved in ebony,
which is supported on four griffins. The
tusks are supported higher up by
crossbar Of ebony, and resting on the
heads Of four figures representing
some of the incarnations Of Vishnu.
Rushing from the projecting ends of
the crossbars to the tusks are two
griffins, with two elephants under them,
linking their trunks. On the center Of
the bar is sixteen-handed figure of
Shiye, standing on the PROSTATE form
of an Abamaram, or fiend. All figures
are ebony.
2. Pair Of elephants tusks, mounted
as flower vases on stand of rosewood,
covered with ivory. The tusks are
mounted with gold, and are entwined
by a pepper vine in fruit, worked In
gold. The vases are supported on two
elephants heads, carved in ebony, and
rising from out of a base of rock and
jungle worked in ivory and elephants
teeth. The trunks Of the elephants sup

a gold image Of Lukshine, the goddess

Representatives, Senator Hale and
Senator Depew have expressed the con-
viction that certain women in Wash
than many of the men who are actors
in the drama Of the capital, writes
Walden Fawcett in the Detroit Free
Press.
There are about 500 congressional
households in Washington and almost
every one of them is a social center of
more or less Importance. Some women
have rendered the greatest service to
husband or father by holding some
what alOof from the field Of social ac-
Invites by reason of the obligations
which it imposes, but for the most part
participation in these amenities has
proven beneficial rather than detrimen-
tai to political aspirations. The con-
gresham seeking reelection finds that
wife or daughter may possibly be able
to render valuable aid, and to the rep
resentative who longs for place in the
Senate or the senator who is ambitious
to occupy higher post in the nations
service, the cooperation Of tactful
helpmate is we'll nigh invaluable.
A striking example of feminine aid
in the game Of politics is furnished by
the case of Mrs. Cornelia Fairbanks.
She has proved most efficient lieu
tenant in furthering the political am
billions of the senior senator from IN
diana. She is very clever politician
herself, as is eloquently attested by her
skill in winning and holding the chief
office in that organization Of feminine
politicians-the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Msr Foraker, to whose close friend
ship with Mrs. Roosevelt some of the
wiseacres have attributed Senator For
aker's strong influence at the White
House, is woman who has aided her
husband greatly by her social tact
She was Julia Bundy daughter of the
Iron King and met her future hus-
band when they We're students at Wes-
leyan University. Few of Mrs. For
aker's friends are aware that she is n
student of architecture and has do
cided gift in that art. She planned the
Foraker home in Cincinnati, and had
much to do with preparing the plans
for the senator's handsome home in
Washington.
In the congressional as in other So
cial circles at Washington, dinner Civ
Ing is the favorite form Of hospitality.
and pre-eminence in this sphere is gen
orally accorded to Mrs. Stephen B.

BLIND MAN FINDS HIS WAY.
Smells of Shops Help Him When Sense
of Touch Fails.

Smells of Shops Help Him When Sense
of Touch Fails.
There is a blind man living in the
heart of New York who walks nearly
every day to little restaurant near
Canal street The distance each way
is from eighteen to twenty blocks, ac-
cording to his route, and to see him
sauntering carelessly along one would
never suspect his infirmity. When
some one asked him the other day
how he managed to find his way so
easily about the streets, he said:
when a man has his sight, the
smell Of the streets are all mixed up,
but when he Is blind he learns to sep
arate them The odors Of the shops
when the doors are open these fine
days are almost as plain to the nose
as the signs used to be over the doors.
Some of them you might never no
tice. Take dry goods store, for in
stance. 1t smells Of cloth. Iron and
tin have smells Of their own, and
can tell q hardware store Immediate
ly. I pass two book stores nearly ev-
cry day; and l scent them yards off
by the old books. Then there are
great many other indescribable odors
by which I know this place and that.
"Of course my feet are my prin-
cipal guide, and I've been over the
same ground so often that I have
learned every inequality by heart. But
I couldn't get along with either nose
or feet alone. They work together,
and when one fails the other helps
out. Between them they make very
good substitute for eyes.
1.-THE secret of my stepping out is
that I've learned how to step. People
who can see hurl themselves forward
like locomotives. That's why the
shock is always SO unexpectedly vio-
lent when you collide with another
person. But / put no extra power
whatever in my movements, and IL the
toe Of my shoe touches some unknown
object stop stock still instantly"

pasts are notable from every stand
point Is Mrs. Depew. During the sea-
son the Depews entertain at dinner
nightly-not necessarily large parties,
but friends in greater or less number,
and the mistress of Corcoran house has
proved herself an admirable hostess.
AS the membership Of the House Of
Representatives has expanded the pop
ular impression has grown that repre-
sentatives have been handicapped as
compared with senators in the race for
social success in Washington, but this
is not true without reservations. Many
representatives who have married
wives fortunate in the possession OF
wealth or exceptional social ability are
now nabled to vie with any of their
senatorial colleagues. A case in point
was afforded by Senator Newlands,
who by his marriage to the daughter
Of the late Ward McAllister secured
social oracle who enabled him to reach
the pinnacle of social success ere he
entered the Upper House of Congress.
Only a few have been mentioned Of
the many who have contributed to
their husbands good fortune. These
are the most notable instances Of fem
mime helpfulness.

The Deenest Lake

Lake Baikal, in Siberia, is by far
the deepest lake known in the world.
1t is in every way comparable to our
Great Lakes as regards size, for, while
its area is more than nine thousand
square miles, making it about equal
to Erie in superficial area, it's enor-
nous depth Of between 1000 and $500
feet makes the volume Of it's waters
almost equal 10 that Of Lake Superior
Although it's surface is 1900 feet
above sea level it's bottom is nearly
three thousand feet beloW it.
The Caspian Sea has d9depth in it's
basin Of more than three thousand
feet. Lake Maggiore is the same
depth, Lake Como nearly two thou
sand feet, and Lago de Garda, an
other Italian lake, has depth in
certain places of 1900 feet. Lake
Constance Is more than one thousand
feet deep, and Huron and Michigan
reach depths of 900 and 1000 feet.
