'i i t . ; f - t 1 ! t A SOUTHERN WATER CARNIVAL. An Event of Unusual Jntert in South America. During1 carnival time in soie parts of South America there is a general re volt ag-ainsb nature and her economy in withholding- water nearly the whole year round. "Water is showered from the housetops with wanton extrava gance, and all classes join in the frolic When I arrived at Callao, says the author of "Tropical America," there was not a street where one could be Becure against attacks from doorway, balcony or roof. At Lima, when cross in? the Cathedral plaza at noon, we were subjected to a shower bath, and j as the afternoon passed, the sport in creased in intensity, every successful delivery from bucket or dipper being greeted with shouts of laughter. . The servants in the hotel stationed themselves upon the roof, and for - hours not a carriage nor a pedestiian went by without being saluted in ap proved carnival style. The street was wet from sidewalk to sidewalk. Horses were whipped; up, and men and boys Iran briskly by, dodging the- showers jwhen they could. I saw hundreds of ,. Imen and women showered during the dav. but Jh no instance were m T i. 1 .. J tr . .. . 4 1 . ...... sifrns of resentment or anger. Dipper, pail and pitcher, however, iare coarse and clumsy weapons of this imlniie warfare. There are more re- ! fined instruments of torture known as Ichisguetes. These are toys by which Jets of water can be thrown directly into the eyes of an antagonist, j Roughly-dressed "men, sauntering jthrough the plaza, felt at liberty to open their batteries upon anyone at ihand: There would be a quick move- j jment of the assailant's hand, and a stream of water," often colored with I pigment, would be discharged directly into the victim's face. Ladies were attacked in this way, and they only smiled grimly. King Carnival reigned. jHis subjects were on terms of equality. WHEN THE CZAR WAS ILL. He Didn't Stop to Consider the Dress of ! . ' . . Hi) Physician. ! An amusing anecdote is told illustrative - of - the simplicity of life at the Palace of Annitchkoff . It appears, says the London- Standard, that' when the czar's illness began to itake a serious turn, Count Verontzoff Dashkoff telegraphed to Moscow to a friend to summon rrof. Zacharin. The 'professor was himself ill, and was semewhat loath to go, having' no idea ;who was to be his patient,- but think ing it was probably, one of the chil dren. Consequently he wrapped him self up in comfortable old clothes and idrew on a pair of long felt boots, reaching to' the thigh, and in this plight alighted at the St. Petersburg station. There he was met by a court . official who, in spite of his remon strances as to his dress, insisted on his coming1 straight to the palace, and""he spent the whole night in" company with the empress at the czar's bedside in his traveling costume. The empress has remarked- to hfer friends that had her imperial husband been an ordinary individual no notice would have been taken of his illness, which was never at all serious, but, having summoned Zacharin, it was necessary to issue bulletins in order to quiet the rumors which would otherwise have arisen. MISERIES OF MONARCHS. Peculiarities Which Made Many .Rulers . Unha;py. Nero had bulging eyes and was very (Bear-siglited. . J ulius Caesar had weak digestion and was subject to epileptic fits. llary was rendered unhappy by her marriage with Philip of Spain. Peter the Great was half cra7y most of his life through drink and rage. George IV. was greatly vexed for yeirs by carbuncles on his face, caused ,by secret drinking. " Mary queen of Scots became bald in middle life, and was foreed to hide the blemish with a wig. ' Edward I. of Sweden was annoyed by his great height. His. subjects dubbed him Long Shanks. Charles XII. of Sweden was ungov ernably rash. He often regretted his impetuosity, but never reformed it. Henry VIII. was for years troubled with constantly recurring carbuncles. Their number, and virulencf finally killed him. . . Alexander the Great had a hereditary tendency to drunkenness that embit tered his whole life. His father was very intemperate. . WARNED TO SJAY AWAY. . now Onr Forefathers ilefralned front As. srnab; Responsibility. "A man runs across some peculiar things when. looking up his ancestry," said a traveler the other day, accord ing to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "When investigating my own lineage in New Hampshire I discovered that my great-great-grandfather was warned by a town meeting not to conje into the town. I wondered what he had done to make himself obnoxious, and when I learned that, notwith standing the warning, he did move in to the place, I admired his assurance, but thought him lacking in self-respect. The ma.tter was. explained to me by the secretary of state. It was the custom for anyone intending to remove into a town to give notice of such intention. At the next regular town meeting he was warned to stay away, because the law provided that if this was done the town would not be liable for his support in case he be came a pauper. It was not. a matter of disgrace or personal ill-will, but purely a precaution to cover possible future financial re verses." Frozen on fchipijoarti.

One of the rcarim: wonders of the world is the grt:tt harrier reef of Aus tralia. ,This stupendous rampart of coral, stretching in an almost Unbroken line for twelve hundred and fifty miles along the northeastern coast of Aus tralia, presents features of interest which are not to be equaled in any other quarter of the globe. Nowhere is the action of the little marine in sect, which builds up with untiring-industry those mighty mountains with which the tropical seas arc studded, more impressive; nowhere are the wonderful constructive forces of na ture more apparent. Iy a simple proc ess of accretion there has been reared in the course of countless centuries an adamantine wall against which the billows of the Pacific, sweeping along in an uninterrupted course of several thousand miles, dash themselves in in effectual f dry. .Inclosed within the range of its pro tecting arms is a calm island sea, eighty thousand square miles in ex tent, dotted with a multitude of coral islets and presenting at every turn ob jects of interest alike to the unlearned traveler and the man of science. Here may be witnessed the singular process bv which the wavy, trelatinous, living mass hardens into stone, then serves as a collecting ground for the flotsam and jetsam of the ocean, and ultimate ly develops into an island covered with a luxurious mass of tropical growth. Here, again, may be seen in the serene depths of placid pools ex traordinary forms of marine lii'e, aglow with the most brilliant colors and pro ducing in their infinite variety a be wildering sense of the vastness of the life of the ocean. ' , A PUZZLING ADDRESS. The Remarkable Feat of ' Bright Spanish Postal Clerks. Ex-Senator Palmer, of Michigan, who, according to the Washington Star, who was minister to Spain for a time, says they have bright postal clerks in the land of the dons as well as in this country. In proof of the assertion he tells of a curiously ad dressed letter which passed through the post office at Hadrid while he was in that capital. According to the ex senator and ex-minister, the address was a perfect rebus. At the left-hand side was the figure of a lady. This made it clear to which sex the one to whom the letter was' addressed be longed. Over the lady's head was a rising sun, which was interpreted as indicating that her name was Aurora. For her surname there was a hill, with a castle at its foot, or in Spanish "Montes y Castillo." For the town there was the plan of a city drawn, in which the Alhambra appeared. Of course that meant Granada, especially as a pomegranate was drawn beside the plan of the city. The address w as completed by a number in one of the streets of the plan. The postal au thorities took three days to study this curiosity, said ex-Senator Palnier, and then delivered it in triumph to '"Senor ita Aurora Montes y Castillo, Aza cayas No. 20, Granada." So proud were the postal authorities of this feat that they had the envelope photo graphed and printed in the Madrid papers as proof of the acumen of the department. "All the foreigners in Madrid were very much amused by the affair," said Mr. Palmer. COLORS If 4 COAL TARi Startling Keg-alts Obtained from Working the Formerly .'spies' Substance. The seeret of the production of color is not yet revealed. The' unrivaled hues of the tulip and the rose are formed from the black soil. Put how? None can say. Yet one is no loss f.tartled by the endles3 variety of color now produced from coal tar. From that ap parently useless substance perfumes, medicines and sweeteners have been formed "which have ttartlcd men. Put color appeals to-the eye. Only J.h.irty-six years ago. saj-s Long man's Magazine. 1'erkin "gathered up the fragments" in coal tar and pro duced the beautiful mauve dye. .ow, from the greasy material which was considered useless is produced madder, which-makes coal tar worth 100 a ton. This coloring matter alone now em ploys an industry of 2,000,000. per an num. One ton of good cannel coal, when distilled in- gas retorts, leaves twelve gallons of coal tar, .from, which are produced a pound of benzine, a pound of toluene, a pound and a half of phenol, six pounds of napthalene, a small quantity of xylene and half a pound of anthracene for dyeing pur poses. According to Roseoe. there are six teen distinct yellow colors, twelve or ange, thirty red, fifteen blue, seven green and nine violet, besides a num ber of browns, and an infinite number of blendings of all shades. What a marvelous color-producer is coal tar. STRANGE SIGHTS IN INDIA. Peculiar Results of the Hindoo belief Con cerning Animals. "Of all the strange places we visited none was more unique than Jeypore," said Mr. Burditt of the Stoddard party, according to the Washington Post. "This is a city in the north of India, which is under native government, its ruler being the maharajah of that dis trict. Iiere the saeredness of animal life, so carefully observed by the Hin doos, gave us queer sights. Monkeys ran along walls . like dogs. Doves in flocks of thousands filled the open squares, or blackened the heavens in their flight. Peacocks covered walls and buildings. Eler-hants and camels were always to be seen in the streets. The mahara jah had in his stables three hundred horses, many of the finest Arabian blood. And in the mud of a sluggish pend in the rear of his palace enormous and vicious-looking croco diles lazily rolled about. To get them to move .sufLiciently to be able to dis tinguish their black forms from' the surrounding mud we threw out bait in the Khano of big pieces of raw. beef, tied to a string, many pounds of which they would gulp at one effort."- - HY HOOD'S?

DEATH TO HORSES. How the Animals Are Used on the Arid riains of Australia. Mr, Gilbert Parker, in his "Ptound the Compass in Australia," describes a journey across the plains of the Dar ling river country in time of drought. From this description we extract a paragraph, horribly graphic, picturing the suffering of the horses. It is a white and dreary plain. There is a line of straggling gum trees be side a feeble water course. Six wild horses brombies, as they are called have been driven down, corraled and caught. They have fed on the leaves of the myall and stray bits of salt bush. After a time they are got within the traces. They are all young and they look not so bad. We start. They can scarcely be held in for the first few miles. Then they begin, to soak in perspiration. Another five miles and they look drawn about the flanks, and 'what we thought was flesh is dripping from them." . ! Another five, and the flesh has gone. The ribs show, the shoulders protrude. Look! A poler's heels are knocking lagainst the whifiletree. It is twenty miles now. There is a gulp in your throat as you see a wreck, stagger out of the traces and stumble over the plain, head near the ground and death upon its back. There is. no water in that direction, worn-out creature. It comes upon you like a sudden blow. These horses are being driven to death. And why? Peeause it is cheaper to kill them on this stage of thirty miles than to feed them with chaff at two hun dred and fifty dollars a ton. And now another sways. Liook at the throbbing sides, the quivering limbs. He falls. "Driver, for heaven's sake, can't you see?" "I do, so help me God. I do. But we've got to get there. I'll let them out at another mile." And you are an Anglo-Saxon, and this is a Christian land. ANOTHER MEANING FOR O. K. In Russia It Used to Denote a Certain Fiery Woman Patriot. "O. K." has another significance than the one usually attached to it. In Russia O. K. used to mean a mysterious brilliant writer who filled columns of the Moscow Gazette and Russia with letters in favor of an Anglo-Russian alliance. The mystic letters meant Olga Kireeff , one of the most prominent of all the fascinating set of social-political Russian lumin aries, says the New York World. She was the only daughter of a dis tinguished Russian family,and the god child of Emperor Nicholas, and led the usual life of the upper class Russian girl until her marriage with Gen. Novikoff. She was the typical leader of the social diplomatic set for awhile, but was not seriously inter ested in politics until one of her brothers was killed in .- the Russo .Turkish war. Then she awoke sud denly to the fact of political life, and, believing that had England and Russia been on friendly terms such sacrifices would not have been neces sary, she became an earnest advocate of an alliance between the two coun tries. In England she has many friends of distinction. Kinglake, Hon. C P. Villiers, Bernal Osborn, Prof. Tyndall, Gladstone, Carl yle, John Bright, Prof. Freeman, and Froude were all person pi friends of hers, and some of them .supporters of her views. She always sta3s at Ciariilges when she is in Lon don, and it wtis to her that Kinglake wrote the well-known nonsense verse: There is a fair tody at Oaruhro's Whose smile is more (.-banning to me Than the raptures of n'.net?-nine marriages Couid possiily, possibly be. POLITICAL ANIMOSITY. An Instance of Its Outcropping Among At a recent reception held "by the prince. of Wales J.'r. Gladstone was loudly hissed by the tories present. The incident, a gross departure from the respect due to a host and to a. fellow-guest, illustrates the bitterness of the -personal animosities created by English politics. Another UritLsh statesman, the late Lord lleaconsfield, often encountered in private life the virulent hostility of his political oppo nents. Ojie day, while residing at his coun try house. Ilughenden manor, he was walking on the terrace, dressed in the easy coat and old slouched hat which he always affected when among farm ers. The gate opened, and two wom en, strong Gladstonians, entered the grounds. Supposing him to be a keaper or gar dener or something of that sort, they in quired if he would show them over the place, which he at Once undertook to do. While thy were walking about they overwhelmed him with questions as to the habits of the master of the manoTj and one of them finally said: "Ilo you think you eould manage to get us a sight of the old beast him self?" "Madam," said Lord Beaconsfield, "the old beast has the honor to wait upon you now." A Strange Transformation. In the museum of natural history at Dublin is the skeleton of a man, a na tive of the south of Ireland, who was called the ossified man. His body be came ossified during his lifetime. lie lived in that condition for years. Pre vious to the' change he ha'd been a healthy young fellow of -superior strength and agility. One night he slept out in a field after a debauch and some time later he felt the first symp toms of the strange transformation. The doctoi-s could do nothing to avert the. progress of his mftlacly. His joints stiffened." Wlaen he wanted to lie down or rise he required assistance. He could not bend his body, and whan placed upright he resembled a statue of stone. lie could stand, but not move in the least. His teeth were joined and became an entire bone- The doctors, in order to administer nourish ment, had to make a hole through them. He lost the use of his tongue and his sight left him before ho died. -!SiGy;'aJl Testier World-Hsnowned Spsclflo r remedy from tho cirJ-!,- BwamDa and nclili ha 1 ITOtlO forth to Ihn nnt!Tnrla 3 conf oimdlce tho tlicorios or physlclan'3 sk'U.
