A lnrRB nnd lofty rrom, with wnlls on three sides and a colon nndo oprninR on ton conrtyard, wns tho apnrtmont in which we were rewired. ChalrB were lironnht for onr accommoda tion, tint with the exception of the mat ting on the floor the place was without furniture. Women, some young and tall, others old and wrinkled, passed and repassed while we waited for the begum to ap penr. They were all dressed in the same fashion. Trousers of light colored dam asks or sntin clothed them from the waist. Those pantaloons were baggy above, but so close fitting from the knee downward that they have to be sewed up after they are on. They are unsewed and removed once a week for the bnth. A short bodice, reaching just below the breast, Is worn, and then round the body and ovor tho Bhonldnrs and head in wound the (ftrl of muslin or silk, which falls in graceful folds from the hips and shoulders. Tho begum kept us waiting, and wo were told the reason was that sho was putting on all her Jewels to do us honor. Presently she came in a small, yonng woman, with an oval, immobile face and smooth, black bair. bhe wore tight trousers of a rich green damask and a sari of cloth of gold. On her bare ankles were anklets of uncut emeralds and dia monds, said to be worth 40,000 rupees. On her arms were large number of jeweled bangles and armlets, on her An gers rings of beautiful rubies and dia monds. Round hor nock were strings of fine pearls, and, suspended by studs of large diamonds in the outer rinn of the ears, she wore across the hair at the bnck of the bead pearls, emeralds and rubies, prettily set as a kind of oollnr ette. The ears were pierced in several places to allow rings and jewels to be inserted, and in the nose a small dia mond was worn. The little jeweled lady did not speak English, and after we had admired her jewelry conversation soon came to an end. Hor wee baby was brought in dressed in colored silk, with a gold laoed cap on its little bald head. The nawab joined us, and .there was much lively chat over the subject of our visit to the state. In such a rennna the most rigorous seclu sion of the wives is enforced wives, I say, for in this seuana the begum was the chief and the only wife and was married the day after the death of the first begum. London Queen. TWO ELDERLY GEORGIANS. On Married at 100 and the Other Got tha Mitten at 13. Two remarkable oases of longevity wore recallod recently by a conversation between several gontlemen in this city. They wore disoussing the death of the Rev. George McCall, the veteran Bnp tist preacher, when it was authentically stated that Mr. McCull's great-grandfather lived to the ripe old age of 137 years. Be was a bachelor at 100 and took a notion to get married. He car ried ont his idea and was married. Three sons were born to him, and he lived to see the oldest son old enough to vote. This was considered remarkable, but gentleman in the crowd whose char acter and standing, religiously and so cially, are above reproach, told an au thentic account of the life of his great ancle, who was one of Georgia's pioneer oititeus. This old gentleman lived to be 130 years old. Be lived in a log oabin, in the northern end of whioh was cut m square hole. The old man turned the head of his bed to that hole and slept that way in the warmest and ooldest weather. Bis wife died when he was about 80 years old, and for many years he lived as a widower. At the age of 115 he cut an entirely new set of teeth, and at the age of 123 one morning he saddled his own horse, sprang into the saddle and rode 80 miles to address a widow and to ask her to be his wife. Be evidently was rejected, for he rode back that day and lived 7 years longer. Atlanta Con stitution. Amusing Bnaalaa Lawsnlt. An Italian newspaper gives an ao count of an amusing lawsuit which has taken plaoe lately in a Russian city in Which German is tha prevailing lan guage. One man sued another to recover the sum of 50 rubles, the debtor having faithfully promised to return the money on St Henry's day. But having failed to do so for long time the lender dis covered that the Russian Orthodox church includes no such saint as 6t Henry, and the judge before whom the case was tried was much pu axled as to what verdict he should give. Bappily the idea occurred to him that, saint or no saint, All Saiata' day Included even the most doubtful, so he gave judgment that the 60 rubles should be returned next All Saints' day. Montenegro has its nam from the color of its mountains. The word means "black mountain." The Bin of Fretting. There is one sin which it seems to me is everywhere and by everybody un derestimated, and quito too much over looked in valuations of cluirticter. It is the sin of fretting. It is its common as air, as 8)eech, so common that unless it rises above its usual uionolono we do not even olwerve it Watch itny ordina ry coming together of people, and see how many minutes it will bo beforo somebixly frets that is, makes more or less complaining sdtlenient or something or other which probably every one in the room, or in the car, or the street corner, it may bo, know before, nnd probably nobody cnu help. Why any anything about itf It is cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry; somebody has bro ken an appointment, ill cooked a meal 1 stupidity or bad fnith somewhere hits resulted in discomfort There are plenty of things to fret about It is simply as touiRhing how much annoyance may be found in the course of every day's liv ing, even at the simplest, if one only keeps a sharp eye out on that sido of things. Even Holy Writ says we are prone to trouble as sparks (ly upward. But even to the spnrks flying upward, in tho blackout of smoke, there is a blue sky above; and tho less time they waste on tlii road the sooner they will reach it Fretting is all time wasted on the road. Uolen Hunt. The Ilarse as a Fighter. Suid an ex-cowboy; "I never saw either cows or bull 11 Iocs attack a horse so as to amount to nnything, but I want to rise right up and testify to tho won derful fighting powers of the horse. Ho is built for more ways and kinds of fighting than nny other product of na ture. He can bite, and he can kick out behind, and he can strike with his fore legs. When ho is in action, he fights all over. If yon want to see fun, you should see wolves attack a bunch of horses on the plains. The horses get together with their heads forming the hub of a wheel and their bodies forming the spokes. Then thoy fight the wolves with their hind, legs. Thoy fill the nlr with wolves, and every wolf lands dead, wounded or ill. Horses avoid a Unlit as a rule, but will go out of their way to kill a snako. Thoy jump on the snakes, clubbing their hoofs and using them like a mallet. Tho only other fights thoy seek are with un mounted men, whom they frequently at tack, or else with one another, and in the latter case they resemble a buazsaw in action, all parts going at once. " New York Bun. Costly Monte. There Is a dentist in San Franoisoo who is noted for his musical tastes and his high charges. His ordinary fee is 910 per hour. His extraordinary fee is nnkuown. Some time ago a lady was in bis chair and the dentist was conversing with her while her mouth was filled With rubber dams and things. Carried away by his enthusiasm while talking of a certain song, he offered to sing it for her. Taking an inarticulate, rubber intercepted sound for an affirmative, he skipped lightly to the piano, which stood in one cornor of the operating room. There he toyed with Polyhymnia, tho muse of musio, doubtless much to his satisfaction, and turning to his pa tient asked how she liked it "Very much indeed, doctor,'" came the reply in mnflied tones, "but it wonld havo been cheaper at a concert, for here it has cost me $3. 78. "San Francisco Argo naut A City of Champagna. Epernay, France, is a vast subtorra nean "city of champagno. " ' For miles and ruilos there are streets hewn out of the solid chalk, flanked with piles of champagne of all blonds and qualities. There is no light in this labyrinth of streets, crossings and turnings except what the sputtering candles afford. All Is dark, dunk and damp, with the tem perature away down about aero. The largest ohampagne manufacturers in Epernay have underground cellars which cover 45 acres and contain 5,000,000 bottles of wine. There is a whole street in Epernay lined with fine chateaux, the proprietors of whioh possess similar establishments. The whole town is hon eycombed with these underground gal leries for the manufacture and storage of champagne. Paris Letter. Bow Ha Went, Mr. Arthur Roberts tolls many a good anecdote of English musio hall proprie tors and performers. Says he 1 " The late George Fredericks, who became proprie tor of the Bedford, Oamden Town, de veloped while there a line soul for Irony. He had engaged far a week a comedian who, as a performer, was too dreadful for words. After the opening night he came down to the bar, brimming over with pleasure.

Somervllle Journal. A French savant has discovered that many perfumes aid health by destroying disease miorobos. Thyme, lemon, mint, lavender, enoalyptus and other went proved very useful AhKlnth. Mo intelligent person should have any doubt about absinth being a 'dangerous, insidious nnd subtle liquor. Whatever temporary service it inny yield, subject to medical advice, the moment tlint neces sity ceases its further use Is a cruel viola tion of the laws of health and Is not inapt to load to the nliaiidontuetit of common decency In appearance nnd deportment. The practical and scientific conclusions in regard to the use of abfllnth are stunned up briefly in (ho sliilniiieiit that 'Tho evil effects of drinking ab sinth are very nppatnnt Frequent in toxication or moderate but sternly tip pling utterly drtuiRes the digestive sys tem, weakens the frame, induces horri ble dreams and hallucinations and may end in paralysis or In idiocy." Chambers says: "Absinth is a spirit flavored with the pounded leaves and flowering tops of certnin speclos of ar tomlsla, chiefly wormwood, together with angelica root, sweet flag root, star anise and other aronnitics. The nrom tit les are macerated for about eight days in sjcohol and then distilled, the resnlt being a green colored liquor. Adultera tion Is largely practiced, usually with the essential oils of others herbs, but even blue vitriol is sometimes found in so called absinth. Its effect upon either man or woman not actively engngod In manual work of some kind must be dan gerous. It makes the brain dull and un reliable. Under its effects the merest glimphes of mental snuslifna are, imme diately followed by prolonged periods of dejection. Sensible persons urn safest if they never touch absinth." Brooklyn Eagle. Teople Who Look Onr Rousea, "My duty is to show intending ten ants over the 'houses to let' which ap pear on our books, "said a man employ ed by one of tho great firms of land and house agents in Loudon. "It might sur prise you to know that some people have a perfect craze for looking over houses, though they ore comfortably honsed enough already and havo no im mediate intention of removing. I havo shown the same couple uiiddlo ngod folks with nothing to do apparently over scores of bouses, from cottages to mansions. "Aud as for 'faddy' people well, I am afraid that the ladies are, in gener al, the hardest to please, but then, you see, the whole responsibility is mostly left to them. Some of them find that every houso thoy look at has some seri ous drawback, and thoy will keep mo for hours at a time while they peer about As a general pwclple the ladies want a bigger und fiiii.inuMj thuii tbey can afford. Often enough the geutleniun who acaompuulds tlmiu never says a word, but lolls about anil smokes list lessly." Pearson's Weekly. Anelent Artlata. Is it known generally that works of art wore well paid for in ancient times? A German review furnished recently some particulars about that question. Polygnote of Tbasos, who lived about 450 B. C, refused, it is true, any pay ment for his works and declared that he was suffiiileutly rewarded with the title of citizen of Athens, wbioh had been conferred on him. But such disin terestedness was seldom imitated. Thir ty years later the painter Zeuxis of Heraclonm was called to the court of Arohelaus I, king of Macedonia. He re ceived for his frescoes in tho palaoe of Polla 400 "mines," about 8,000. Mna son of Elnthoa paid 820,000 for a "Bat tle With the Persians, " which he had ordorod from Aristldes, the leader of the Thcban school. Pamphilns of Syoi one gave a oourse of lectures on painting j each pupil paid for attendance one "talent," or 11,200 a year. Apelles re ceived 80 gold "talents, "about $240, 000, for a portrait of Alexander I, or dered by tho city of Ephesus. Bard t Catoh tha Xzpnaaloa. A young woman of St Joseph, Ma, was walking down tha prinolpal street a few days ago, when, seeing a young man in the passing throng, she went up to him, threw her arms around his neok and kissed him. Then she disengaged herself and ran, blushing, away, while the young man looked at her in pleased amazement. She afterward explained that the young man was an utter stran ger, but "when my eyes met his, and ho looked so good, so noble and so true, I wanted to kiss him, and I did. " It is scarcely necessary to say that every young man in St Joseph is anxiously studying how to look good and noble and true when he goes down the street on the dry goods store side.
