liAVAH-LYS MAO KING.
Although Ilonornd by llltj. Rub*nets ilia
r>eath Would X3e Considered a i;ieav
lug to Their, and Their
Country.
The reign of the mad King Otto, of
Bavaria, unfortunately for the country
anil the people, promises to continue for
,«oiue time. The marvelous Wtttelubaeh
strength, according to trustworthy re¬
ports, has enabled the king to recover
from the effects of the physical weak¬
ness which overcame him a short timo
ago. lie may live for years in tho semi
■conscious state, in which he is found a
great part of the time. As a matter of
course he has the best medical care and
attendance ... possible, ... and tho physicians
t° al! ia 1 K!,rt0 P r olou ? his " n -
happy and miserable existence. . No
.'other course is possible, but his death
would be a relief to tho country and to
Germany.
Although as a rule he Is unable to
recognize his relatives, attendants or
friends, and remains for hours motion
less in his padded room, he has lucid in
torvals. Not a great while ago ho sud
dcifiy recognized Ms attendants and be
came cognizant of his lofty position. A
cavalier about the castle asked him if
be o*d net wish to show himself to his
subjects in Munich.
“Gladly, gladly, would I go to Mu
nick,’' he Is said to have replied, with a
look of irrepressible sadness in his eyes,
“but my people wish to soe a well Mug,
and I am sick. Yes, yes. yes, I am siolc,
mid these terrible fancies will not leave
me.”
Upon another occasion he demanded
suddenly that his attendants take him
to his capital. In order to avoid an at-,
tank of violent excitement, probable In
ease of a refusal, a stout carriage was
summoned to the castle steps. The
king, one of the physicians and an at
tendar.t, elad in his royal livery to
avoid suspicion, entered the coach,
which started on its journey. Looking
out of the window tho king saw a
meadow almost covered with variously
hued flowera. lie expressed the desire
to gather a bouquet to present to his
mother, aud the coachman stopped
while he plucked the flowers. But the
work was too tiring, and he returned to
the carnage completely exhausted. He
was taken back to the castle and placed
in bed. When he awoke the following
morning his reason was again clouded
and he had entirely forgotten his visit
to Munich,
The greatest difficulty which con
fronts the king's physicians is to per
auade him to eat. lie is an inveterate
smoker of cigarettes. At times the doe
tor3 take advantage of his weakness.
Upon one occasion they placed a pack
age of cigarettes on the table next to
his plate. When the king entered the
dining-room ho rushed at once toward
•the cigarettes, but the attendant physi
cian quickly throw a napkin over them,

One of the most pathetic and power

what a peek of trouble came upon n
French peasant all ou account of a lit
tie bit of string. A story not quite s.
! tragic was woven in real life about r.
; bit of window cord in tills city last
weak. The story, in fact, has more of
. the elements of Keribe’a comedy, “A
I SenVp of Taper.” On the morning ot
Orangeman’s Day a well-known res¬
taurant-keeper on Kmi tli field streei
, found tbit lie needed a now pulley-ropi
• on his cellar door; he therefore wenl
j out and bought some window cord, lit
had barely returned to tho saloon wfit's
the Orang;men’s procession began t<
file by the door. Mine host went out
naturally enough, to see the bands and
banners pass, and he still had in lib
hand the piece of cord. Presently there
! passed a cavalier who bestrode e
magnificent Normandy draught-horse,
The horse was such a beauty and was
ridden so well that the restaurant
keeper in his doorway could not restrain
his enthusiasm, and ho waved his hand
1 containing the widow cord at the horse
man in token of liis admiration. The
cavalier returned tho salute and the
] procession passed on.
The restaurant-keeper never gave the
Incident a thought again, and the cord
was used upon the eellar door. That
evening, however a party of Orangemen
i entered the placo and told the land
lord’s son, who was tending bar in bis
father’s absence, that they and all
: Irishmen who thought as they did in¬
tended to boycott the place because the
old man who kept it had shaken a Doose
j at the paraders as they passed, as if to
say that they were only fit for hanging,
And so the matter stands and the res

The madstone Btory is going its

a matter of fact, says the Brooklyn

except by the aid of machinery. Again,
in ninety-nine eases out of a hundred
the dog bites are harmless and there is
no poison to bo sucked out. Thirdly,
credulity is one of the most effective

Fortieth street n few moments on r.e

horses with a somewhat critical eye

The train had pulled out of the way

OUST CLOAKS FOR WOMEN.
*. Now tlarmont Fur tlio Protoatlon of
Street Contumag.
Dust cloaks avo tho feature of the
season. They arc of shot silk, whose
shimmering beauty Is a pleasure to the
eye, and are so light thatan entire elohk
‘-•an almost be folded away in th"
pocket. A dust cloak recently brought
over from Paris is of lustrous red and
brown changeable silk. It is cut like
an immense circle, but with a bias
“ eara flown the back. At tho waist
tho hack a» hand underneath
gathers in the fullness and gives su.Fl
dent form to the dust cloak to onhuneo
*ts looks without confining in any way
the movements of the wearer. In front
^ hangs loose and straight. Around
tho neck arc two full, fluffy frills of
silk, edged with a gold braid. This
makes It exceedingly becoming and
does not increase its warmth.
In Paris, where the skirts are all
long, the dust cloak follows the trail to
its limit, and in walking it is gathered
up with the skirt, which Its lightness
and gathered fullness makes it easy to
do. There are other dust cloaks that
have sleeves. These aro intended for
the street, while circular cloaks are
especially adapted for traveling. Some
dust cloalcs are lined at the neck with
figured surah or foulard, This is
turned over and gives the appearance
of long pointed and frilled revers. The
silks used in the dust cloaks, It should
be added, have tho merit of not spotting
if caught in a summer shower, and the
French dust cloaks by some process are
rendered waterproof.—N. Y. Sun.
i„ B enio DS method of Hope ciimbin K . .
A valuable practical device is that
which has lately been brought to notice
by a French inventor designed to
facilitate rope climbing, while at the
same tiyre premitting the climber to
have free use of his hands. The apara
tus consists of two boards, joined by a
hinge, with a hole passing through both
the hinge and the boards, and the ex
tremities of tho latter provided with
straps, which can be fastened to the
feet of the man using the apparatus.
The method of climbing involved in
this arrangement is simple. When the
feet attached to the boards are lifted
the rope is free, but the moment the feet
are pressed down on the boards the rope
is firmly gripped. It is only necessary,
therefore, to lift tho body by both hands
as far as possible, and it can then be
held by the hinge clamps until another
lift is made. Iiy the use of a belt to
hold the body close to the rope the
hands may be left free. The device,
which is claimed to fulfill its purpose
admirably, is designed especially for
* bo 11 “ ofriircmen and painters, also to
Burve as » fire «»capo.-N. Y. San.

THE SOUTH PACIFIC.
Eshi'oita of tho Islands at tho Co¬
lumbian Exposition.
Siamese Geraa and Curios, Native Good*
from .Java, ami Contributions from
Horaco, Sumatra and tho
Straits Settlements.
Recent letters and oablo dispatches
received from Leigh 8. Lynoh, who Is
cruising in the southern Paeiflo in
search of features for the world’s fair,
convoy tho information that he has very
nearly oompletod his task Ho lias
made all the necessary arrangements
for exhibits from the Philippine islands,
Siam, liornoo, Sumatra, the Straits set¬
tlements and Java, and is now on his
way to Sydney, Australia, where he ex¬
pects to meet an agent who has been
doing similar work in New Zealand,
the Fiji islands, tho Friendly, the So¬
ciety arid other groups. It is not un¬
likely that Mr. Lynch will be able to
sail for home within thirty, or at tho
most, sixty days. When he left Chicago
he expected to be abroad until Novem¬
ber or December, but ho lias boon more
successful than he anticipated, and has
made much more rapid progress than at
first seemed possible, lie says, how¬
ever, that there will be a very complete
exhibit of the most important products
and industries of these countries, and
tiiat they will be In cliargo of natives.
For example, the sultan of Johore will
provide tho exhibits from liorneo, Su¬
matra and tho Straits settlements, and
will probably visit tho exposition in
person with his suite.
Tho exhibit which Mr. Lynch has
contracted for in Siam is intended to
supplement the exhibit of tho Siamese
government, and is subject to the ap¬
proval of tho Siamese commissioners.
These have not been appointed—or had
not been when Mr. Lynoh wrote—but
the men who wero prominently men
tioned for tho place wero consulted, and
they project, all seem favorable to Mr. Lynch’s
so it is likely that a fine col¬
lection of Siamese gems and curios will
be displayed in the space of the Oceanio
Trading Company on the Midway plais
ance.
•Java will send not only a fine assort¬
ment of native goods, but will contrib¬
ute native musicians, dancers, jugglers
and athletes. The nautch giris of
.1 ava arc as celebrated ns those of In¬
dia, and formed one of tho great attrac¬
tions at the Paris exposition. Mr.
Lynch's trip has been a most interest¬
ing one, although undertaken at the
hottest season of the year, and subject
to certain drawbacks. For instance,
on his way to Bangkok ho went to his
berth one night and found it occupied
by two largo tarantulas. P.ather than
disturb them lie slept all night, and
several nights thereafter, on the deck.
An extract from one of his letters writ¬
ten at Kioto, Japan, is worth quoting,
lie says:
“Every native In Japan Is talking about tho
fair in > hlciiga, and they r.ll want to or seiii
Burnt.thing. /, t the shell of Nltahimura, the

on It lor nearly a year and a half, and It will
take nearly a year to llr.lsh It These men sit
on the floor and tho frame lies between them,
and there they spend their lives, working their
eyesight and heal Ih into stitches of these won¬
derful t mhroldorirs. There arc a few women
at work, Lut all the best and llncst work is done
by men.
‘iils.vhlmtira also showed mo sono marvelous
gold lacquer work and wood curving, which you
can all ace at tho exposition. Thun Mlckawaya,
the cloisonne ware man, has some wonderful
pieces. This man never puts his name on his
work, lie says each piece speaks for Itself and
tells that no other man could make it but him
seif. Of course you all know how cloisonne Is
lande; how tho sliver wlro Is fashloned-out and
soldered on tlio copper kaso ot the article to bo
constructed, and that then into each interstice
enamel is placed forming a ligure, and it Is then
halted and ground down and polished. Tho
task seems endless, but they aro 'very patient."
FOR HUMAN ACHES.
A Cotnmbartan Itrcctei! au JJaafiorn
C'eaiotery tho first In tlio World.
Cremation has taken so firm a hold
upon the minds of tho Pennsylvanians
that the dh-octors of the Alleghany
Cemetery Company resolved, lost Janu¬
ary, to erect a coluinbarlan upon tho
company’s property. This isbuiltupon
the hillside and contains one hundred
niches or recesses for tho reception of
urns. Tho material used is granite, and
the stylo of architecture followed is,
most appropriately, that of ancient
Greece. In describing tho place the
Engineering Magazine says there aro
five wide doors opening into as many
compartments. Tho central or main
entrance is that of tho columbarium,
and on each side are two vaults. Tho
door opening into the columbarium is a
tine specimen of bronze open work,
through which a complete view of tho
interior may bo had. The main en¬
trance is supported by four massive pil¬
lars and adds much to the beauty of
the structure. The doors of the vaults
aro of massive bronze, and each opens
into u compartment for the reception of
uyns. In the interior, which is finished
in terra cotta, aro four tiers of recesses.
These are so constructed that a tablet
with an inscription or a plate glass
front may be placed in them, as the
owners may desire. In tho uppermost
tier each space is separated from the
next by an ornamental pillar, upon
which rests the end of one of the arches
farming tho roof, which is in the form
of a dome, and is finished in panels and
urches of terra cotin. 'File rays of the
sun ened entering the apartment arc soft¬
believe, by a stained skylight. This is, I
tlio only building in the world
dedicated solely to the reception of hu¬
man ashes. Since the times of ancient
Greece and Home no other has been
erected for such a purpose. Our Ger¬
man Berlin, cousins but, are far, about this to in Pennsylvania build one in j
so

tliis especial tvpe of masouline perfidy
whiles away tlio long hours of his wife’s
or sweetheart’s absence, for we regret
to say that the greater flirts are those
who have no right to pastime whioh is
at all times dangerous to tho peaco of
mind of those women who know not
the ways of the creature and believe im¬
plicitly every word he says.
If the male flirt wero a woman, the
Philadelphia Times thinks, he would
probably either end up by not marrying
at all or else wedding some broken
stick when all the worthy offers, like
the blossoms of spring, had faded away
and left the poor butterfly only the
choice of a few half-withered drooping
autumn flowers, lacking sweetness or
beauty. Unfortunately for those silly
enough to trust him, the masculine but¬
terfly does tho wooing. lie pleads ten¬
derly, speaks volumes with hi3 eyes if
he dare not put into word his thoughts
and leads every victim he meets to be¬
lieve she is the only girl he ever loved,
When in all probability he has acted in
precisely the same manner to a dozen
others.
He Is not dangerous to those who
know him, but unfortunately ho does
not wear a placard proclaiming hia
idiosyncrasies to tho world at large,
and many a happy little maiden has
been turned into a sad-eyed woman
through the unmeaning attentions of
his royal highness the male flirt.
Ancient Stone Cutting Tools.
An investigator, who lived during
two years in a tomb at Gizeh, has col¬
lected evidence to prove that the tools
used in working stone four thousand
years ago laid jeweled cutting edges,
like modern tools, lie says that the
builders of the pyramids used solid and
tubular tools, straight and circular
saws, and many other tools supposed
to be modern. In some specimens of
granite a drill had sunk one-tenth of an
inch at each revolution, indicating that
the pressure was at least two tons.
Nothing is known of the material of
the tools. As the diamond was scarce
then, it is probable that corundum was
used. .-*•«.
