The late King Louts of Bavaria saved
himself from deposition by a timely death,

they resolved to displace him, and the
knowledge of this, no doubt, drove him to
self-destruction.
The traditions of the early Christian
church affirm that Pontius Pilate, after be
ing dismissed from his plaoe as goveruor of
Judea, was sent in disgraoe to Spaine, where
he lived for a time, aca was then allowed to
reside in Switzerland, where he committed
suicide in a villa at the base of tbe mountain
which bears bis name. There is no nee'.onc
evidence to support the statement to be
found outs.de the early Christian writings.
Jaquee du Cbastel, bishop of Bolssons, had
accompanied Louis IX. (St. Louis) on tbe
African orusade and finding that nothing

took of the sa-rament, mounted his horse
fully equipped for battle and, in the sight
of the whole army, charged alone into the
Saracen camp, where he was at once cut to
pieces.
Defeated at Zama, Hannibal fled to the
east to avoid falling into the hands of the
Romans, and found temporary security in
the dominions of Mithridates. He incited
this monarch to engage in a Roman war,
and his advice as to its oonduot being re
jected, the war proved unsuccessful, and
Mithridates was'.required, as one of the
conditions of peace, to deliver up Hannibal
to his enemies, the Romans. The unfort
unate Carthaginian heard of bis approach
ing fate, swallowed the poison which for
years he had carried about his person and
expired just as the envoye arrived to take
him in charge.
Mark Antony gave the world for a
woman’s love, but found himself so poorly
compensated by the exchange that, in des
peration at the approach of Ootavius, and
being informed that Cleopatra was en
deavoring to make terms for herself by sur
rendering him, he stabbed himself with his
dagger. Being revived, he received the
message sent by Cleopatra that she desired
loses him; he was carried to her place of
refuge: Cleopatra and her maids raised him
by ropes to the window of the tower where
the fallen queen found her last home; he
was lifted In, and died in her arms.
The story that Cleopatra killed herself by
allowing an asp to bite her has long been
believed, but probably has no better his
torical basis than the fanoiful imagination
of a gossipy Roman historian. For some
time before her death she made oareful
preparations for that event, and tried raaoy
different kinds of poison on her unfortunate
slaves o see which would produce death
with tbe least apparent agony. She prob
ably died by one of these poisons, for she
was as adept in suoh matters as any of the
Horgtas. No asp was found iu her room,
and the wound on her brhast supposed to
have been that of its bite probably bad an
other origin, for her whole body was cov
ered with bruises, where she, inJEgyptian
fashion, bad struck herself with her fisti i
and tore her fieeh with her nails in her
grief for the loss of Antony.
The famous Lord Clive, who added the
empire of India to the British crown, was
the most distinguished suicide of the last
century. When a youth in India he at
tempted to blow his brains out with a pistol,
it twice missed fire, and after examining it
to see that it was properly loaded, he said:
“Surely I have something great to do in the
world.’’ Always peculiar, his health suffered
severely from the torrid climate of India,
and even before be left tbe peninsula to
return to Europe indications of mental
aberration were plainly visible. He died
by hie own hand just before the outbreak
of the American revolution, a fortunate
circumstance for this oountry, for bad he
lived he would undoubtedly have been sent
tc take command of the British forces in
America, and the result might have been
very different.
Pausanias, the Greek general, died hv
self-administered poison. When hotly
pursued by those sent to apprehend him
on a charge of treason and sacrilege he
took refuge in the sanotuary of a temple.
Unable to remove him by foroe, and also
unwilling to violate the sanctuary, the
officers walled up the entrance and began
to unroof the building. When he could be
seen they noticed that he was chewing
something, which proved to be a quill filled
with poison. By the time the work had
sufficiently advanoed to admit of their en
trance he was in a dying condition.
Judas Iscariot, after casting down the 30
pieces of silver in the temple, departed and
went and hanged himself. Whether the
suioide occurred on the same day or not is
a matter of doubt, one or two early Chris
tian writers intimating that he lived for
many years after the crucifixion.
Happho killed herself by jumping from
the Lovers’ I-eap, a Leucadiau cliff. This
leap was often taken by love-sick persons,
who believed that if they survived the fall
they would be effectually cured of a hopeless
passion. The leaps were always witnessed
by crowds, ana the would-be suicides were
in no way interfered with by the state.
Boats were in attendance below to pick up
the leopers if they came to the surfaoe of
the sea after the plunge. Sappho had a
passion for a young man who did not return
her love, and leaped from the cliff in order
to be oured. Hha perished in the fall; so
also did Artimesia and mauy other celebri
ties. Fltny tells a curious story of an old
Athenian miser, who was in love with his
oook, aud, desiring a oure, went to have a
look at the cliff. He peeped over, shook his
head, went home and married the cook.
Burled the Devil.
From the Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Watehvlit, Mioh., Maroh 19—The devil
will no longer beguile the heart of man.
Thornton Carter, the Coloma messiah, hoe
buried him or one of him. The formal
ceremony took plaoe near this place.
He was assisted by Manasseh Burbank,
whose devil it was that was interred.
Burbank belonged to the shouting Metho
dists, and was so radical that he objected to
the feathers on tbe women’s hats and to the
Sunday go-to-meetin’ clothes. He was
such a nuisance that tiie Methodists asked
birn to shut up, and he decided to join the
Carterites. Carter ruled that Burbank
must bury tbe devil that inhabited hie body
before he oould belong to the select. The two
men, therefore, walked solemnly into an
open field. Carter carrying the devil, as he
claimed, in his hands. Burbank dug a
large hole. The messiah offered an inter
minably long prayer, and then said:
‘‘Satan, stand forth! For many years
hast thou plagued this immortal soul, never
till now regenerate. Hast thou aught to
say why I should not consign thee to ob
livion!”
The devil was silent.
“By thy sllenoe dost thou oondomn thy
self I exclaimed Carter, “so down thougooit,
most damnable fiend: here we bury thee
forever.”
Carter thrust the devil into the hole, and
Burbank hastily covered it up. The two are
creating much stir among the ignorant
here.

Preparations Now Being Made.

Ntw York, March 25. The Easter
parade this year will be of more iDtense in
terest to womankind than it has been for
years. No sooner does a woman meet her
dearest friend or most bated rival than she
immediately rushes up to her and whispers,
“How are you having your new gown
mails!” There has never been anything
like it before —this absorbing question of how
maov yards around to make tbe Easter
gown. “My dressmaker would insist upon
it,” says one in a great flutter, “and though
I know 1 shall never dare to wear it, she has
put the loveliest, biggest flare you ever saw
on my dress. She says I would feel so old
fashioned on Easter, if it was the least bit
smaller, and reduce it she would not. Won’t
you come over, girle, and see what you
think of it?” Bo over the girls flock, and on
the dress goes, amid cries and exclamations
of astonishment and admiration.
Alasl Where is now the woman who
vowed that, no matter what carno, she
would never, never take toorinoMne? Would
you find her? Just peep into that room and
see a tall, majestio figure arrayed in a beau
tifully large, imposing gown, standing, half
abashed but all complaisaht, before a tall
mirror. Her resolution nas gone to the
winds, and were you to offer her now the
most elegant bell in tbe world, with soft
droop and fascinating cling, she would
spurn your offer on the instant. No; womau
cannot be depended upon. Stability she
has not. She is indeed like tbe wave of the
sea, driven by the wind and tossod.
But it is this very uncertainty that makes
the topic of Easter costume of suoh supreme
interest. For did we know just what our
neighbor would wear, and were we certain
that her neighbor would also be similarly
clad, there would be uot tbe slightest excite
ment in the thought of seeing all tbe pretty.
new things.
We know, however, that we can count
upon the appearanoe that day of all the
known styles, periods and reigns, and upon
a few that are not known, save in the realm
of dreams. A womau here and there, with
the oourage of her convictions, will walk
forth with unruffled air, clad in gown that
is of the same width top aud bottom. She
will walk by the side of a woman who wili
occupy something ltka two or three times
as much room, and there will be nothing
like calm in the demeanor of the second
woman, for she will rejoioe in the fact that
she is superior in all points of dress to her
neighbor. lam afraid a little of the Easter
joy may be crowded out ot some women’s
hearts when they see something particularly
grand which they have not: but let us hope
that they will be generous enough to re
joice, oa this day at least, in the bright
robes of their sisters.
I Bhall tell you of but two Easter cos
tumes to-day. They are both rathdr pre
mature for this early spring, but both very
dainty and pretty. One is made of a pale,
tawny brown, tbe faintest shade imagin
able, and is dotted with a large flower pat
tern It is modestly crinolined, and has
two ruohee ehirred in tbe middle, made of
thin crepe. One ruche is at the edge of the
skirt, the other fully half way up. The
ruobe in tbe middle has an Immense velvet
bow at the side, a bow of seven loops and
no ends; the loops are to long that they
touch the lower orepe ruohe.
Above this big bow is a smaller
one, more like a rosette, planted for appar
ently no purpose, right below tbe right hip.
The bodice is very fussy. There is first, be
low a high standing oollar of pearl em
broidery, a pointed yoke of fine passemen
terie, wrought in light, delioate shades.
Across this is drawn loose folds of crepe,
orossing at the left side and caught with
another velvet bow. Beneath is tbe tlght
flttiug bodice, belted In by a pretty cameo
belt. The sleevee are not only puffs, but
have an additional puff above, banging
loosely.
The- other gown is, if anything, more
unique. It is made of that light, new blue
shade and the skirt has three small ruffles at
the feet. All around the skirt are laid
great leaves of lace, starting from the waist
line about oue inch wide, widening as they
desoend, until they area goodly width when
they reaoh the lower edge. The lace is most
beautiful, fine and of exquisite design. Tbe
lace appears in the bodioe as well, widening
up from tbe waist line into smaller leaves,
whloh lie over the large yoke, made of very
fine silk shirrlngs. These shirrings are of
blue to matoh tbe gown, and ever eaoh one
is laid a row of fine pearl trimming. The
narrow belt is also pearl. The sleeves are
very wonderful; the shirrings are so caught
up that each division bangs over in a small
ruffle or loose puff, and there are thirteen of
these little puffs on eaoh sleeve.
Want to hear about some mare Easter
bonnets! You can make yourself perlectly
bewitobing iu a small shape, that has a
brim just a few inches wide, which must bo
turned up all around in irregular ourves;
just in the front the turned-up brim must
be bent into a small point to give a debonair
effect. Then the shape must be covered
with blaok tulle, and the edge tipped with
tiny feather trimming. Right In front of
your bat must stand a single full-blown
rose, rather high, and a little behind a few
plumes. ,
But if this is too large for your taste,
make one that consists of no more than
two ruffles of aoocrdion-plaited tulle, put
on one above the other. They are simply
fulled on a tiny frame, and, in order to dide
the juncture, a large imposing bow bares
across the front between which gracefully
wave a few small aigrettes.
Then, there is the hat with the genuine
brim, the graceful, drooping, curliug brim,
than which, after all, there is nothing pret
tier. One of these is of pale-oolored straw,
has the brim faced with dahlia-colored
velvot, has the low crown banded with
wide lace insertion, has three dahlia velvet
kuots at the back, has a cluster of white
naroissi In the front, lying beueath dahlia
Prince of Wales tips that stand proudly
and protectingly above.
The second brimmed hat is of a pretty
dull-green straw, is lined with delioate rose
color, has green tips standing between the
curves at the side near the back, and has
rose tips covering the broad brim iu front.
This one ties with velvet ribbon.
Many of the brims are out open to some
extent, and then caught up or turned over
aud fastened with a few stitches; over tbe
curves thus formed the trimming falls.
Such effects are very novel.
Capes, coats and mantles are fast follow,
ing In the footsteps of the basque. Shorter
they grow, still shorter; and tbe very latest
thing now is a tiny coat that reaches just a
tew inches below the waist line. Just Im
agine the quaint effect of ono of these
jackets over a bodice equally short, and a
majestically sloping skirt.
But they are not all eo short, of comm
Many ore of a goodly length still, with the
length shortened In effoot by the velvet col
lar or fancy collarette. For everything has
a short cape of some sort, either plaited,
fulled, or embroidered in lißavy, rich
threads. One cape that 1 saw was made of
two divisions of heavy black lace and had
a plaited velvet collar of greeD, which was
continued down the front in a sort of jabot,
cut in pointed squares and run in between
with falls of finer black laoe. There was a
quantity of jet on tbe cape also, coming
out on the velvet collar, and between tho
velvet folds down the front.
I saw a pretty tan coat, with broad band
of very open brown passementerie at tbe
bottom; a short capo of the same brown
passementerie was added, edged with fine
golden brown fringe.
Another coat of pale leopard was out in
square divisions, with eaoh division joined
by cordt. On each panel eo formed was u
point of passementerie, broad at thr '"ittom,
□arrowing toward the top. The sleeves had
a queer velvet loop hanging loosely from
tbe shoulder.
A 1 vely pale green cloth cape bad a band
of fins lace imertion at the bottom and
around the collarette. Another cloth cape
bad turquois set around tbe bottom, and
the very short plaited collar was edged with
small white fringe tipped w ith tiny tur

A "HIGHLY COLORED” DUEL.
Amusing Pranxs Practiced Among the
Art Students of Paris,
from the Neu) York Advertiser.
A recent writer, describing the pranks of
the French art students, tells some amusing
anecdote*, not a few of which are novel ar.d
characteristic. The most curious of these
describes an initiatory ordeal whioh the two
newest comers of a class are sometimes
compelled to undergo by their fellow stu
dents of the Beaux Arts.
It is a painters’ duel, in wbloh neither
combatant, no matter bow email his ex
perience nor how great his nervousness,
need fear a fatal termination. The re
luctant duelists are provided with tall stools
and seated opposite one another at arm’s
length. They wear old clothes and in the
hand of each is plaoed a large paint brush
charged with color, the one being dipped
with Prussian blue, tho strongest and most
vivid azure tints, and tbe other in carmine
lake, which is a flue, rich crimson.
The word is then given and the men begin
to daub. Being usually strangers to ono
another, and without the least cause for
quarrel, they oommOnly show at first a
great deal of caution and consideration, not
to say timidity, and do not make much
effort to inflict conspicuous streaks or to
touch each other’s faces.
Boon, however, ono or tbe other gets a
smear which he does not like and attempts
to retaliate upon his opponent. Then the
contest waxes warm. The spectators hasten
to take sides and urge on their favorites
with shout*, cheers and encouraging ories.
The tall stools totter; the wet brushes spat
ter; the antagonist daub more and more
fiercely an<t'f uriously, until frequently men,
stools and all go down together in a strug
gling red and blue heap upon the floor.
Tha duelists are then assisted to their feet,
uhakebands, laugh at eaoh other’s appear
ance and adjourn to the lavatory, where
they good-naturedly help each other to re
move the traces of the conflict. The knight
of the red t rush is found to have smashed
his adversary until he might pass for a hero
of the goriest field of history, while the
victim of the blue brush, if only blue blood
were a fact Instead of a figure, might pose
for a survivor of on equally desperate fight.
It speaks well for the temper and good
comradeship of the students that so rough a
kind of fun ends wbefe it begins, in the
mock duel, and never, it is said, leads to re
sentment and ill-will.
HAWAIIAN NAMBB.
Come of the Curious Ones by Which
Natives Are Known.
C. F. Nichols in the Boston Gazette.
The following names of our proposed new
citizens were to be found a tew years ago
on the taxpayers’ list at Honolulu. I re
corded a few of these names in an artiole on
Hawaii, published about 1890 iu Harper's
Weekly:
Mr. Scissors, The Thief, The Wandering
Ghost, The Fool, The Man Who Wosres
His Dimples, Mrs. Oyster, The Tired Lizard,
The Husband of Kanei (a male deity), Tbe
Great Kettle, The First Nose, The Atlantic
Ooean, The Stomach, Poor Pussy, Mrs.
Turkey, The Tenth Heaven.
The same names are bestowed indiscrimi
nately upon males and female. A man liv
ing upon Beretanis street, Honolulu, is
called The Pretty Woman (Wahine Maikai),
a male infant was lately christened Mrs.
Tompkins; one little girl is name l Samson
(Kamekona),another The Man; Busan (Ku
kena) is a boy, so are Polly, Sarah, Jane
Peter, ondtvHepry Ann. A pretty little
maid has been named by her fond parents.
The Pig Sty (Hale Pua). A relative hints
at luxury in the diet of the coming man,
calUug the boy Tho Rat Eater (Katnea Oi i
Oie).
An old servant In Dr. Wright’s family at
Kobala caused her grandchild to be bap
tized in eburoh The Doctor iKauka). This,
as is the case with all the other names here
mentioned, is the only designation. By
way of compliment to the early physicians
many children were named after their
drugs, as Joseph Squills, Miss Rhubarb,
Tbe Emetic. Names of uncomplimentary
purport are willingly borne by their own
ers, while others oonvey a pleasing and
graceful sentiment, among the latter The
Aroh of Heaven (Ka Pia Lani), The River
of Twilight (Ka Wia Liula), The Delioate
Wreath (Lei ma ka Lii).
The Rev. Dr. (loan of Hawaii possesses
the love of bis flook. One morning a child
was presented for baptism whose name was
Stven by the parents, Mlkia. The ceremony
nlshed, the parents assured the dootorthat
they had named the baby for bim. ‘ ‘Bub
my name is not Miohnel,” said the doctor,
supposing Mikia to be aimed thereat.” We
always hear your wife call you Mikia,” an
swered the mother. Bhe had mistaken Mrs.
Coau’s familiar “my dear" for her husband’s
proper appellation.
VERY PERPLEXING.
Family Pelrtlone Which Bother the
Man Interested in Them.
From the Pomona Progress.
The strongest combination resulting
from the marriage of relatives that we
have ever heard of is that in the family of
Lewis Osborne, who has reoently removed
to Pomona from Salma, Fresno county. Mr.
Uaborne tells us that be has been ten years
trying to nnravel the perplexities of rela
tionship that his second marriage has
caused. In 1888 he married a young widow
who was his ow i grandfather’s third wife.
The oouple have a little eon.
Given this simple statement and a lum
ber of i eculiar family relationships may be
deduced. For example, Mr. Osborne is a
gracdcblid of his wife. His son, being also
a son of his (Osborne’s) grandmother, is
uucle to bis own father. Osborne becomes
a brother to his uncles and aunts, and also a
Btepfather to them. The boy, beiug the
ohild of Osborne as a grandohild, is thereby
a great-grandson of his own mother, while
his father may rejoioe In the title of great
grandfather to his own child.
Thus the boy becomes a granduncle to
himself and bis parents’ great-grandchild.
Osborne is the boy’s father and great-grand
father at the same time and, being tbe bus
band of his own grandmother, enjovs tbe
distinction of being his own grandfather as
well.
Osborne’s mother married a man named
Blake and his sister married a brother-in
law of her mother, Henry Blake. Osborne’s
sister becomes a sister to her own mother.
Mrs. Blake, being Osborne’s mother, is
grandmother to Osborne's son.
The latter, however, being the son of the
wife of Mr. Blake’s father-in-law, Is there
fore a brother to his grandmother and
granduncle to hia grandmother’s sister, the
daughter who married Mrs. Blake’s brother
in-law. He is also her nephew, as tbe sou
of her brother. Osborne is the younger
Mrs. Blake’s grandfather as well as her
brother. Thus her nephew, Osborne’s sou,
becomes nncle to his aunt, being a sou of
her grandmother. The series of relation
ships may bo likewise traced almost Indefi
nitely. The family is happy aud contented
and lives as pleasantly as though tbe pecu
liar family ties were not present.
Bats (Japt. Cameron in “Orest Thonght*:’’
"Africa has a bigger future than America,
Australia or India. Uis the richest of all, but.
of course, everything depends on management
Take South America, lor instanoe. It la very
like Australia. Tbe Europeans could bring up
their children well there. The natives are very
teachable. Even the hitherto wild tribes are
already drilled into good police, engineers,
riveters, etc. Take my word for it, Africa is
the hope of the future, and will be tbe aalva
tion of an overcrowded world.’’

There Is one thing which
is a constant source of gratifica
tion to the discoverer of Johann
Hoff’s Malt Extract, and it is that
its salutiferous properties are now
so far famed that he believes no
one is practically beyond the
reach of its benefit. The only
sting of regret is that he cannot
say it is within everybody’s
means. However low in price a
commodity may be, there are al
ways, alas! some who cannot
afford to lay out much in what
the poor call “ fashionable reme
dies.” It is hard to live, we know,
but Johann Hoff’s Malt Extract
has ceased to be a fashionable
remedy exactly. That it is a
popular remedy all will admit.
Rather is it a medicinal neces
sity. It exalts the energies,
stimulates the nutritive powers,
improves the appetite, and aids
digestion. Purchasers are warned
against imposition and disap
pointment. Insist upon the
“Genuine,” which must have the
signature of “Johann Hoff” upon
the neck label Eisner & Mendelson
