Wive* of 1 hr Khedive.
I .ilia Wanl Howe describes s risit to
till wives of the khedive of Egypt as
fi/lows: The day before yesterday was
'/he first day.o! Hainan, a great Moslem
/festival, something like our New Year’s
day. On this day we were allowed to
visit the three princesses, wives of the
khedive. We had beeu admonished to
wear onr bes* clothes, and, if possible,
to avoid black, as the Egytians are very
superstitious about visits from people
wearing that- hne. My dangbter, for
tunately, had a dress of the lilac silk,
which was not unsuitable to the occa
sion. I was obliged to appear in black
velvet, modified by a white bonnet,
which though hastily improvised, ha/1 a
gay and festive appearanoe. We were
also told to wear all onr jewelry, which
was not a very laborious thing to do.
So we went, and a row of black eunuchs
stood before the door of the palace. Two
of them helped us to alight. Having
crossed the threshold we found ourselves
in a little world women, where one man
only had the right to come. Here cigar
ettes were brought ns, which etiquette
required ns to accept. A whiff or two
quite satisfied onr entertainers. We
were presently introduced into the pres
ence of the three wives, of whom the
third one, also ranch the youngest and
prettiest, spoke French tolerably,
After shaking hands with each in turn
we were invited to take seats, and cni
bouka were brought ns, whose length
reached from our mouth to the carpet.
I wrestled with mine as well as I could,
but by good fortuue it was not well
lighted, and I only got one good puff of
the tobacco, which caused me to cough
with some violence. Then we had cof
fee brought in porcelain cups, the stand
for each cup being richly set with dia
monds. Then, with profound courtesy
ing, we took onr leave. In the great
hall below several attendants brought
us beautiful bowls of porcelam set with
diamonds, filled with a BOur->wcet
spiced drink, which we were afterw ;
told was sherbet. These women ala
carried napkins with golden fringes.
Then onr carriage was brought to the
door, the eunuchs helped us to get into
it, our “ dais ” or footman ran on be
fore, and we drove away.

Chinese Humor.
An American connected with one of
the consulates in China has translated
some of the Chinese poems into Eng
lish. Among them are some verses
which prove, alas!that the “ humorist”
is abroad even in that far land. The
production is entitled 1 ‘ Fanning the
Grave, or the Wife Tested,” and tells
how a wife whose husband was sick unto
death promised him that she would not
marry again until the mold on his
grave should be dry. After his burial
the conscientious widow applied her
self assiduously to hasten the drying of
the grave by fanning it. This accom
plished, she married one Chuang, who,
wishing to test her, feigned sickness,
avowed thnt ho was about to die, and be
sought her not to take unto herself
another husband.
"Oh, make your mind easy,’'she sobbing re
plied .
‘ * I have HRid I won't wed and I won't;
But nh ! what grave doubts your last words
implied
Don’t say them again, dearest, don't!
Tales of virtuous women in old books I’ve read,
And my bosom with ardor has glowed ;
I’ll emulate them, I have inwardly skid -
If I don't do the samo I'll bo blowed.”
Ohuaug then dies contentedly and after
he is encoffined makes his escape, dis
guises himself as a young man and
makes love to Mrs. Chuang as together
they watoh over the empty coffin. “The
next day the funeral-baked meats serve
as the wedding dinner.” The unrecog
nized Chuang shams illness again and
declares that nothing will cure him but
the brains of a living man or of one who
has not been dead more than three
■lays." “OKI Chuaug’s will do,” say*
his relict as she vanishes, whereupon
O tin Aim takes off his disguise and settles
hiruFtil in the coffin again. His sponse
soon appears with an axe and smashes
the lid, upon which Ohuaug bounds up
with a “ hello ! ” To an invitation to
explain, Mrs. Chuang remarks :
• • I felt sure you must be living, bo to welcome
you once more.
My mourning robes I tore off and my wedding
garments wore.”
To whieh answers her lord :
“Your tale is plausible, but I think you’d
better stop ;
Don't fatigue yourself by tailing lies ; just let
the matter drop.
To test your faithlessness to me I've been
merely shamming dead.
I'm the youth you just now married —my
widow I’ve just wed.”

A Plea far Vegetables.
la the London Timet William G.
Ward write* to urge a greater cultiva
tion and use of vegetables, especially
of leguminous kinds. He speaks a very
good word for lentils, which were of ola
a favorite dish in Egypt and Palestine,
but are almost entirely unknown to this
generation. Lentils, or “ lentiles,” as
the Bible calls them, are a sort of black
bean inclosed in a loDg pod and ripen
ening with a thick skin. The flour is
very sweet and nourishing. According
to Bonssinganlt’s scale fifty-six parts of
white haricot beans, or fifty seven parts
of lentils, or sixty-seven parts of peas,
are equivalent to" 100 parts of wheat
flour. This shows lentils to have
high value as nutriment. They make
delicious soups and can be cooked in as
many attractive ways as the common j
bean. Mr. Ward’s chief object seems
to be to introduce to the poor a sort of
food which shall be at once cheap and
wholesome. On this point he says:
“ How trifling is the cost of "human
food if only whai is necessary is sought.
Eight to twelve cents per day is suffi
cient to provide for a Btrongmanand
keep him in health and strength.
Oatmeal should not be omitted here.
Best Scotch oatmeal can be bought at
the mill for three cents per pound.
Nearly one dent more will be required
to bring it home. A pound will make
the breakfast for four strong men if
boiled for half an hour as porridge. For
child or man better food there is not on
earth. Every pound gives more nutri
ment than four pounds of lean bc-ef.”
He insists that rheumatism may be
cured and neuralgia greatly modified by
a strictly vegetable diet, and that a
workingman will get as much strength
out of vegetables as out of meat. He
becomes quite enthusiastic in speaking
on this point, and thus breaks out:
“This vegetarian teaching not only
places human food on a scientific foun
dation, bnt at once removes three-fourths
of human diseases. It uproots drunken
ness without leaving even a desire for
alcoholic drinks. Vegetarianism would
suppress all poverty and nearly all suf
fering. It would make excessive luxury
on the one hand impossible and abject
poverty on the other hand equally im
probable. All wars would cease. Man
kind would become one great brother
hood. ‘ The whole creation groaneth
and travaileth in pain together until
now but it would then be healed and
harmonized. All sham kings and sham
thrones would vanish as a vision, and He
alone whose right it is to reign would be
king over a renewed people in a renewed
world.”
Perhaps this writer, who is a man of
considerable note in England, and a care
ful observer, remembered that He was
not a vegetarian; but that fact does not
appear to have dampened his ardor atall.
Whether vegetables are an absolute
specific for rheumatism and also a pan
acea for all other human w es may be
well doubted; but it is probable that the
poor, especially the American poor, eat
too much meat for either their purses or
their health. If lentils can be made
popular as food, it will no doubt mark an
improvement in the condition of the race.
Many new and important vegetables
have been added within the last two or
three hundred years. How should we
get along without tomatoes, radishes,
celery, Indian corn and potatoes, which
civilized nations a comparatively little
while ago knew nothing of ? Probably
there are no lentils whatever in New
York, but it is worth considering whether
their introduction and cultivation is not
something thoroughly worth while. To
add an edible to the market is to dimin
ish human suffering. iVe?/; York

Some Carious Wills.
The shortest will upon record has
just been proved in an English court of
probate. The document reads literally:
“ Mrs. is to have - all when I die.”
There can be no mistaking the testator’s
intention, nor as to the contingency
which must occur ere the deed can be
administered and applied, and hence
any legal quibble is impossible. Black
stoue informs us that testaments are of
very high antiquity. Records of such
documents have been discovered dated
from the ri motest period of man’s civil
ized existence. Indeed, it has been
stated by one writer that Noah made his
will in writing, witnessed it in accord
ance with law under his seal, and that
in virtue of this document the world
was subdivided among bis children.
Among the Greeks Solon was the first
to introduce testamentary dispositions,
and in Romo they were unknown until
the twelve tables were accepted as the
basis of their law and custom. This
mode of devising property was in force
in England prior to the conquest; but

tattoo on one of these drums. Probably
the most fantastically contrived instru
ment to utilize the body of the testator
is recorded by Dr. Forbes Winslow. A
Frenchman, disappointed in love, de
termined to commit suicide. Previous
to carrying his design into effect, he
wrote a letter to the lady who had jilted
him. In another document he noted
his last wishes, which he desired should
be scrupulously adhered to. His corpse
was to be taken, boiled down, and the
fat extracted. Out of this a candle was
to be made, and presented to the subject
of bis misplaced affections, in order
that she might read his communication

Vagaries of a King.
The latest vagary of the king of Ba
varia, says the London World, would
make a good foundation for a ghost
story. Not satisfied with his usual
guests, he ordered a grand dinner to be ,
prepared for fourteen persons, and
invited to the feast Louis XIY. and his 1
court, Louis 11. himself sat at the head ;
of the table, and the place of honor was
supposed to be occupied by the grand
iaonarque, the other places being re
served for the twelve courtiers of his
reign who were the most renowned for
the if wit, Thus the Bavarian king
lived in solitary grandeur; for I need
not say that the ghostly guests were
conspicuous by their absence.
When the repast was over lie went to
the riding school, and having carefully 1
calculated how many miles there were
between Hohensehwangan and Inn
sprnck, he rode round and round the
school until he had accomplished the
distance which separates the one place
from the other. He, moreover, stopped
twice, once to breakfast and another
time to dine, as he would have done had
the journey been a real one. He did
this that he might be able to toast that
he had riddeu the whole distance from
Hohensehwangan to Innsprnck.

How the Bee* Told.
Farmer Metcalf looked out of the
kitchen door one fine morning, and
discovered that one of his beehives was
gone.
He kept a dozen swarms, or more
nicely hoased in a long row of hanging
hives at the back of his garden. Last
night they were all there. He stood a
moment, gazing at the vacant place in
the row with surprise and indignation.
Then he called his son:
“ Martin, somebody has been stealing
our bees 1”
The family were soon out upon the
veranda, all staring at the plundered
apiary, and denouncing the unknown
robber. Who could he be?
Browsing forlornly about the place
where their little house had been, were
several stragglers from the missing
swarm, and Farmer Metcalf knew very
well what would calm the bewildered
insects and make their intelligence
serve him to good purpose.
Anew hive was promptly hung in the
place of the old one, and some sheets of
comb put into it. The bees very soon
took possession, and alter waiting
twenty or thirty minutes, the farmer
and his son saw a “ committee” of their
number come out and fly straight to a
neighboring cornfield.
Of course they had expected some
thing like this. Once make a robbed
and wandering bee feel at home again,
and it recovers its wits, and lets you
know at once where its companions in
misfortune are.
Farmer Metcalf and Martin followed
their little guides to the cornfield, and
quickly found the evidences of last
night’s work. The hive lay there broken
to pieces, and crawling over the scatter
ed fragments, and struggling on the
ground, and climbing the standing corn
stalks, were multitudes of soiled and
honey-smeared bees.
Some were rubbing their legs and
wings to clean themselves, and now and
then one would rise in the air to fly back
to the house. There were other bees
with legs gone, bees with wings gone,
bees half-buried, pawing themselves out
of the earth, and bees that lay quite
still—bees everywhere, and in all con
ditions, living and dead.
Tracks of broad shoes were seen, and
signs of a hard scuffle in the soft soil
and among the broken corn. The
thief certainly had not got his plunder
without paying something for it. It
looked as if the little captives had made
a gallant fight, and taken part of their
revenge. It remained now for their
master to complete it—when he found
out the rest of their story.
The remaining testimony was soon
forthcoming. Poking about in the mel
low dirt with his foot, the farmer’s son
brought to light the paper in which the
thief had carried his sulphur to smoke
the bees and stupefy them, So that he
could take their honey. It was the back
of an old letter, with the name on it
still clear and plain—“ Heman Treat.”
A little further search revealed a
handkerchief, probably the one the un
lucky honey-stealer had tried to tie over
his face, and it bore the same tell-tale
name 1 Such flat exposure of himself
was, no doubt, a consequence of his
rather excited state of mind after the
evident blunder in managing-the bees.
Heman Treat was one of farmer Met
calf's neighbors, and the discovery of
these traces of guilt against him was a
very disagreeable surprise. To go
directly and accuse him would be still
more disagreeable. It was Sunday, too,
and that fact made delay more justifi
able.
The farmer and bis son walked back
to the house, carefully concealed the
paper and the handkerchief, and agreed
to keep still about the matter till the
next morning.
In the course of the day Martin walk
ed past Heman Treat’s house, and no
ticed bees flying in and out at one of
the attic windows.
Other confirming evidence was dis
covered that helped to fasteu the crime
on the man who lived there ; and when
Monday morning came, they called a
constable and made neighbor Treat a
visit.
He was in bed sick, his wife told
them, and could not see any one. Bnt
they replied that their business with
him was urgent, and must not be put
off, and sli6 was obliged to let them in.
They found the man sick enough, to
be sure. His hands were swollen to
twice their natural size, and his head
and face were a sight to behold—in
flamed like one great blister, and bloat
ed so that he could hardly see out of his
eyes.
“ Got badly poisoned working in the
swamp last Saturday, ” was the way lie
and his wife accounted for it. ’Twas
likely he had handled poison elder or
ivy ; they always affected him so.
The visitors showed deep interest in
the sufferer’s case, and one of them, re
marking on the peculiar appearance of
his face, applied his thnnib and finger
nail to a pimple and pulled out a bee
sting 1
‘ ‘ That’s the kind of poison you’ve been
handling,” said Farmer Metcalf, “ and
you’ll make nothing by trying to lie out
of it.”
Upon that he produced the paper
and the handkerchief, and the theft of
the beehive was charged home to He
man Treat then and there, without the
trouble of many words.
The culprit saw he was caught, and
confessed his crime. He begged the
officer not to put him under arrest, and
promised to settle at any price the
owner of the bees should demand.
Farmer Metcalf did not wish to prose
cute his neighbor, and he readily allow
ed him to settle the affair by paying the
value of the stolen swarm,provided that
whenever he happened to want honey
again he would take care to get it by
honest means.
Bnt for the clue afforded so quickly
by the little winged detectives, proba
bly only an accident would have reveal
ed their spoiler’s traces before he had
time to obliterate them. The field of
tall corn, left to itself,as it was then be
tween cultivation and harvest, was a fine
place of concealment.
It was years before Heman Treat
knew that he owed bis prompt con vie
tion to the bees; bn. his one experi
ence with the ? T '_.caii swarm was quite
sufficient to make him let bees alone for
iJie rest of Hi3 life.— Youth's Compan

Advice to I'oDsumotlve*.
Ine celebrated physician, Dr. Paul Memeyer,
gives the following valuable suggestions tc
persona suffering from lung affections : “ The
patient must with scrupulous conscientiousness
insist upon breathing fresh, pure air, and must
remember that the air of closed rooms is always
more or less bad. * ♦ * No however
uncleanly, would drink muddy, dirty water.
A party which occupies a room for hours,
breathing the same air, might be oompared to
a party of bathers drinking the water in which
they bathe. The patient must keep the window
of his bedroom open. Night air is fresh air
without daylight. In close, crowded rooms,
the patient suffering from lung complaints
breathes consumptively.” By taking these
precautions and using Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pel
ets, fully one-half of the oases of; lung com
plaints would be cured in six months. For
cough and irritation of the lungs do not always
indicate the presence of consumption,although
it may resnlt in that disease, and if consump
tion has already become deeply seated in the
system, this is the most efficient course of
treatment that can be pursued outside of any
institution that provides special facilities for
the treatment of thiß disease. Dr. Pierce’s
