unusually acute olfactories, especially
for opium. But It seems the eunuchs
have special clothes which they put
on for smoking. and these are given

THE fneness Of her Majesty's touch
is very apparent in her painting, for
she IS very artistic and paints flowers
in a charming way: in fact, she is
remarkably clever with her fingers.
"she is always Immediately neat.
She designs her own dresses and has

designs new and dainty dishes. She
has perfumes and soaps for her own

Her Jewels, even, are not more gor-

are more unique than those Of any OF

immense number Of pearls-for the
pearl is her fayorite precious stone,

stones.
The first day the kites were to be

into the garden, where the kite-hyine
was to take place. The kites were Of

senting birds, fishes, bats and ever
personages. The strings we're wound
