The orchestra consists of taraboukehs, or drums made of earthen pots with a skin stretched over the orifice, a lute or eoiul, a tambourine, and a shill haut- bois, which an Arab plays with cheeks furiously puffed out, producing notes of a rhythm whose morbidness hypno tic-. The women, gave as idols, their fin gers stained with kohl of henna, accom pany the shrill air of the liautbois with nervous heating of their taraboukehs, and from time, as ff to break the hypn otic spell, a negro will shriek for a few seconds like a steam whistle, causing his voice to undulate between two notes. Meanwhile one of the women dances—not as people dance in society, or even at the theater, but the dance that represents the eternal amorous theme on which each nation has em broidered its own fancies, and of which each nation, except ours, has made its national dance. She is a girl of 12 or 13 with dark, nieleneholly eyes, regular features, blue-black hair looped in braids over her cheeks. On her head he wears a sort of jeweled miter, from which halig chains of silver meeting beneath her chin, and joining massive silver arabesques stubbed with rough ones and serving as buckles for the green silver-spangled drapery over her shoulders; jgcr skirts of pale red and browodnihgUoosely down to the grouhd bowing only her bare brown feet. Her dancing is mere cadeneed movement, with long undulations of the body, or little convulsive stampings of the feet, accompanied by a writhing and waving of the arms, continued to the finger tips, by a throwing back of the head, or by an extinction of the bands forward in the gesture of entreaty, the whole expression with much modesty and quite liberal mimicry’ a tender drama of passion, of defense againt the invisi ble lover who speaks to her in the voice of the liautbois, of refusal that means consent, of consent that still resests, a long pantominej during which the sup ple ami caressing body of the girl moves incessantly and expresses extreme emo tions, which end in a terrible charivari of liautbois and drums only when both dancer and musicians are exhausted by fatigue. At the other end of the Esplanade ties Invalides, in the Javanese kampoiig, may be seen a dance of similar exotic character. This village is inhabited by some three score Javanese workmen and their wives, who make hats and other small articles of commerce. In one corner of the village is a eoneert room of bamboo and thatch, ond a Jav anese orchestra of • drums, lutes and tympanums, formed, some of bars of metal and others of brazen pots with lids composed of two supposed liemi- pheres. The orchestra occupies the whole of the back of the stage, the men squatting cross-legged and discoursing strange bell-like music, while a man and a woman perforin a iniinic dance, with writhing and contortions of th body and limbs, less graceful than those of the Arab dance, but still curiously fascinating in their almost hieratic gravity. There are also four young dancing girls belonging to the king who are' types of Japanese beaty and the great est coquettes in the exhibition. Their skins are brown, the feet and legs up to the knees are dyed saffron yellow, their bodies are clad with richly embroidered stuffs, their coiffure is a wonderfulgold helinet wrought into arabesquee of flows and animals, and surmounted by a crescent of black feathers; their arms are loaded with bracelets, their eyes lengthed with an upturn tail of blue paint, and in the center of their brows are a blue circumflex accent and a gold spangle. These girls are beautiful with the regular.beauty of Indian idols, but they chatter like magpies, make faces at the public and scoff at the dowdiness and puritanism of the Parisiennes. One of these little ladies, interviewed yes terday through the intermediary of an amiable Dutchman, who has lived for years in the Indies, declared that she found Paris rather slow, and tlie Paris ians aiistere and averse to luxury, and the general aspect of things wanting in gilding and umbrellas.

Deab Friend Masson—You have doubtless beard of my Quther’a death and the terrible murder of my Brother. My father left a rather peculiar will, and the sickness and death of his legal adviser still leaves affairs in cu unsettled condition. If you Will come to Upington and see that things are straightened out, as they should be, I will make it well worth your time. Yours, as of old, Claudk Mortimer. This note was received soon after my graduation from college by me, Frederick Manson, struggling lawyer, from my old college chum, Mortimer. A few months after launching myself upon a legal career I had picked up a newspaper one day to see an account of the death of Enos Mortimer, who had been one of the prominent man of the state. Not more than throe weeks after reading of the death of my old friend’s father, I came across,, in the same newspaper, an account of a mysterious mur der. I was startled and horrified when 1 read the name of the murdered man. It was Victor Mortimer, Claude’s brother. The per son who committed the deed was unknown. In response to the note I went. There were teal's in Claude’s eyes when he took my hand, and his voice shook as he said: “I am glad to see you, Manson, but sorry that our meeting is at a time so fraught with sorrow to me.” He looked twenty years older than when 1 saw him last. Dissipation had left its marks on his handsome face, and there was a very perceptible sprinkling of whito in his hair. Under the hand of affliction, the old jolly light had died out of his eyes, which to me seemed to be strangely aversive and restless. That evening as we sat in Claude’s favorite room he told me the story of the murder. 1 did not ask him to do so, but of his own free will he told me of the terrible deed. His brother Victor had been alone in the man sion at the time that he fell the victim of an assassin. Claude had been with him that day, but had ridden away late in the afternoon, and had put up for the night at a small vil lage, twelve miles away. In the morning he had continued on his journey, to be recalled by a message stating that his brother had been murdered. He came back and found Victor dead, hav ing been killed in the hall of his own house by a blow on the head with some heavy in strument, that had crushed-his skull like an egg shelL The object of the murder was evi dently robbery, for the dead man’s pocketsi rung at the door of Mortimer Hall.

To do tills they desire to adopt such by law? and amendments thereof as they may deem had been rilled. Detectives had been em ployed, and within a'week’s time some of the stolen valuables were found upon the body of an unknown man, who was discovered floating in a small pond twenty miles from the scene of the crime. I listened to Claude’s story in silence, re fraining from asking any questions that might cause him greater suffering. He seemed disappointed by this, and for a long time dwelt upon the peculiarity of the murder, his absence from the place at the time of its oc currence, and the final disoovery of the vor grant who undoubtedly committed the crime. He appeared very nervous, as if repressing an excitement that he did not wish Observed. After a time 1 succeeded in drawing his thoughts from the murder, and for an hour we talked of other things. During all the time that we had been in the room Claude’s eyes had every now and then sought a dis tant corner. Finally I looked in that direc tion and perceived an immense flower pot full of earth, from which grew the stock of a large lily. The lily was in bloom, and at once attracted my attention. “What a strange appearing flower l” I ex- olaimed, as I arose to examine it, Claude sprang up and rushed past me. “Yes, it is strange," he replied, with ill concealed excitement. “Don't touch itl I believe the thing is poison!” “What makes you think so?” I asked. “I don’t know,” he answered, a little wildly. ‘A week ago it was almost snowy white; since then it has changed till it has become what you now see. At first I thought it was dying; now I do not know what to think.” 1 could not banish all thought of the strange flower from my mind at once, and that night 1 fell asleep thinking of it. All night long I was tortured by horrible dreams of murder and bloodshed, and in all my vis ions the lily figured prominently. I was very glad when morning came. Enos Mortimer had left a will which cut off his son Claude with a dollar. All his property had been bequeathed to Victor, but be had stated in the will that at Victor’s death-the property should go to the next of kin. As Victor had died unmarried, “the next of kin" must be his only brother, Claude. I could see bat little trouble in settling the affair quickly and easily, and could hardly comprehend why Claude had sent so far for me when legal service could have been ob tained much nearer home. Meantime I had moved my practice to Cp- ingtpn. I had discovered that there was a better field there, and at once availed myself of what seemed to be a good opening' Strange to say, Claude did not seem to approve of the that I was soon compelled to seek a chair, feeling faint and dizzy. “I sbpuld think you would die, shut la here with that thing,” I cried. “The odor is terrible I" “Not so very bad after you get accus tomed taiit," he replied, hesitatingly. “In- deedTif you are not directly above it you will not notice the odor at all after a time.” “It is the strangest thing I ever saw or heard of,” I declared. “It actually fills me with horror. Why, I should dump the thing ouFfloors.-” , He shook his head, a look of alarm on his- face. ‘ “No, no,” he cried. “I would not part with it for anything.” That day when'I parted with Claude Mor timer I "did so fully convinced that there was a terpible secret-locked fast in ,the man’s- breast, and that in some way the black lily was connected with the secret.’ Hpw this could be I could not Imagine; yet something seemed to tell me that it was so. From that day I shunneeb’ Claude Morti mer, for 1 felt that there was a dreadful stain upon his hands. Of this I had no proof; yet in an unexplained manner 1 was convinced that it was true. Two months passed, and one night a terri ble thunder storm passed over Upington. The morning came, bright and beautiful, and at an early hour Claude Mortimer’s negro servant brought a sealed envelope to my door and delivered it into my hands He said that bis master had aroused him in the night and given him the envelope, with the request that he bring it to me the first thing in the morning. With shaking-hands and a strange presenti ment that some terrible event had happened, 1 tore open the envelope. This is what I read: "I am a murderer! I have resolved to make this confession to the world, and to morrow I will be found dead in the room where .1 am now writing, while the thunder bellows In the heavens and the jagged light ning rends tbe darkness asunder. The brand of Cain is on my brow, for I slew my own brother. I will make the confession as brief as possible, and then comes—death! Ontho day preceding the fatal night when Victor Mortimer was murdered he and 1 quarreled concerning our father’s will. In a raga I left tbe bouse and departed, mounted on tho horse which was given me by my father some years ago. Twelve miles away I stopped for the night, putting up at a sleepy little hotel. “When I retired to my room that night I sat at my window until all was still about the housa Then a terrible impulse seized me. Beneath my window was a low, sloping shed. With but little trouble I climbed out upon, it and reached tbe ground. I had seer* a horse feeding in a neighboring pasture, and by the aid of an occasional gleam of moon light which stole through the clouds I suc ceeded in finding and capturing that horsa As I led him out of the pasture I noticed a long iron pin by which the gate was fastened. This I took with me. Within the hour I Thera were no servants in the house at the time, and Victor came to the door. He asked who was there and I answered “Unsuspecting, he opened the door and I stepped in. He was holding a light in hia hand. As he turned to close the door I struck him with the iron pin fairly on the back of the head, putting all the force I could into the blow. He fell dead at my feet! Then, in order to make it appear that the crime was committed by a robber, I took his jeweliy and money. I hid the iron pin in a safe place, and on the horse’s back fled away through the night like tbe crime stained thing that I was. “What followed is well known. I was re called to the scene of my terrible crime. 1 played my part well, and no one suspected me. “Tbe iron pin with which I committed tha murder troubled me the most. I feared that it would be found, and finally buried it in tha very bottbm of a largo pot in which stood a lily in full bloom. Then I had tho lily placed in my room, so that I might always stand guard over it. Two days later I noticed a ’change in the appearance of the flower. 1 thought it was dying, but it was not. Slowly it turned black, and the small tongue in tho center became blood red 1 watched -tha change with a feeling of horror that cannot be described It seemed to me that the thing was trying to tell of my terrible crime. Hun dreds of times I have been tempted to destroy it, but somethin g^al ways kept me from doing so. I hoped that it would die, but week after week, month after month, it stood there ac cusingly before my eyes. “The odor which comes from tho Uly when inhaled from a distance is pleasant, bat makes one deathly sick when breathed from just above it, I believe that enough Of this will cause death* and to-night I shall test my •belief. If this fails, I have a little vial ot poison which will do the work. I am tired of life. I murdered my brother thatT might obtain this grand estate, which I fancied had been unjustly given to him, and since then the curse of God has been upon me. My wilt will be found leaving the property to chari table institutions, and with a final petition to God to have mercy on my guilty soul, I write my name for the last time on earth. “Clauds Mortimer." He was found quite dead on the floor bo- side the black lily, an untasted vial of poison grasped in bis hand. The strange flower that had always stood erect drooped until it almost touched his white cheek, and from tha crimson tongue a few scarlet drops, which looked like blood, bad fallen upon his face. The iron pin was found in the pot, and the roots of the lily were tightly twined around it.—Cincinnati Enquirer. _ _ . , , , . _ V _ I I I|V> 11141 iu UR ill UH11 is a habit, and those who curse do not business,oml to fix their salaries. mean it or think of it.

From a mixed black and white the cup of the flower had turned to a dull, dead black, and the tongue, which had been a doll red, was crimson, as if colored by pure life blood. Months had pass ed since I saw it last, still this was the same Morris’ hospitable have worn out tlicir welcome, and Mr. Alorris has turned them out to look for winter quarters elsewhere.

BROWN, retit’oner’s Attorney IJe stood between tbe flower and me, his whole frame a-tremble. “Don’t touch it!" he gasped hoarsely. “It is accursed!” “Let me look at it, Claude,”! said, endeav oring to choke down the feeling of horror in my breast “It is strange!” With reluctance he stepped aside and allow ed me to again inspect the flower, but all the while he cautioned me not to. touch ft or tb inhalo too much odor from the flower. The same sweet yet sickening odor came from the flower, but now it was many times stronger «than t sfore.

Two hundred and forty-seven men fell on the field; about TOO have died at different times and places since; of the?survivors about one a week dies in the United States; every day or two a new tramp confesses to being one of them, and if something isn’t done to stop it the death list of that gallant band will soon reach into the thousands.

Thera are two hands, the shortest one making a revo lution every two hours, while the loflg takes twenty-four houks to get around. But how they compute time by these is a Chinese puzr zle.—Seth E.
