II A Hindoo Cioltl Ua?. [The ancient annual ceremony of "Ta!? pararu," or weighing the Maharajah of [avancere ayainst an equivalent weight gold, has come round again. It upars to have been conducted this year th great pomp and ccreraony, for the esent Maharajah is a Hindoo of the thodox type, who appears to keep up b traditions of his home. Some months fore the ceremony, the Government rchased through its commercial agent Alleppo, about 2000 pounds' weight * -i '* - e i.: II pure goia, uie greater part 01 wuiuu Ls converted into coins for this purbe. After presenting an elephant and lenngs to the shrine, the, Maharajah tered the building prepared for the ocBion, and having completed the prepinary ceremonies, mouuted one of the ales. The sword and shield were laid in his p; in the other side of the scale yo!d fins struck for the occasion, were placed \ the first and second princes till it uched the ground, and the Maharajah se in the air, the priest meanwhile anting Vedie hymus. Volleys were ed, the band played, and the troops esented arms. The Maharajah woriped at the shrine and then went to e palace. Subsequently the Dewa n d other officials distributed the coins jm the fort gates to about 15,000 ahmins.

FJJJS AT THE FAIR. EXHIBITS OF THK SOUTH SISA ISLiANDEItS AT CHICAGO. Pina Dresses tor Women at $1500 Apiece?Queer Fabrics, Toys and Works of Nat ive Art?Ihe * Island Beauties. r N a report from the .'I v ^ar" away South Sea Islands comes an inffi?w vi'N tersting account of WH the exhibit to be Sal made at the World's H?* Fair by the merchants and natives of the great South Pacific H archipelago. The report is made by Leigh ' <-^g:jija | ? Lynch to the Oce - aD^c Trading Comii pauy of Chicago, which has a concession for this exhibit and for which Mr. Lynch is manager. Mr. Lynch sailed from San Francisco last February and expects before his return to arrange personally for displays from all the principal islands. When it is known that the group contains fortysix islands, with an aggregate land area of 114,000 square miles and a population of 8,000,000, the magnitude of his task can be easily understood. The report to the Chicago company is written from Hong Kong, where the manager had gone to take a steamer for Bangkok via Swatow. An aggravating, though amusing, incident is related to show the difficulties of travel in that rtsjion of everlasting delay. "i was to nave sailed this morning," writes Mr. Lynch, "but I was the only applicant for a saloon passage and the captain concluded he could make more money by filling the cabin with freight. That is the way they do in this part of the world. I mu3t, ^?i|| | ^ Xltt \V// " lift NATIVE MANILLA BEAUTT. therefore,wait for the regular steamer for Singapore, and at Singapore I shall probably have to wait two or three days for a steamer for Bangkok. These delays are very trying to the patience of an American, especially if he is In a hurry. However, I ought not to complain, for I have got alon? better than I anticipated. I have made arrcgements for a fine display of the products and industries of the Philippine Islands. Senor Bonifacio Arevola, of Manilla, wiil have charge of it. He is to have constructed a building sixty-six by fortyfive feet, modeled after a native bouse -C it- tn Phi/?ttOPrt in KPP vji utxij auu outp aw w vMAwwgy-w ? tions. In this the industrial features ot the exhibit will be shown. "One part will be devoted to the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes and cigar and cigarette cases. Some of these cases are of very curious workmanship, and although they are both cheap and convenient they very rarely find their way to America. In another section of the casa will be shown the manufacture of jusa and pina cloths. The former is made of abaca, a species of wild banana, known in commerce as Manilla hemp. Pina is a fabric made from the fibers of pineapple and banana plants, and is often finer than India muslin. It sells at enormous prices, a single dress having been known to bring ?1500 and more. Naturally it is not very generally worn by the native women, who are usually very poor, but it is popular with the European ladies and with the Spauish T Mestizos, or half-breeds, aud worn a9 j SPANISH MESTIZO. t ( they wear it, adds greatly to their natural beauty. "In addition to the women and girls employed in these occupations will be a large number of skilled toy-makers. The latter are artists in their way, and some 1 of their products are very pretty. The curious figures of natives, animals,birds, etc., which they make of wood and a pieparation that I know nothing about, , are exceedingly lifelike. "The manufacture of native hats and ' shoes and other articles, soma of which ! are amonj; the principal sources of wealth in this archipelago,will also have a place j in the building. Outside of it, and oc- , cupvingas much space as we can afford, will be native huts, with all their fur- ' nishiiiL's. and the natives themselves with their bancas, or boats, and their> fishing appliances. "Of course our space will not suffice to shew either the natives or the peculiarities of all the islands. Many of the islands have never been fully explored and it would not be safe for a white man to venture upon them. Even the interior of Luzon, the principal island, one on which Manilla is situated, is really a terra incognita and contains tribes which hate Spain and the Spaniards and would be likely to kill any white man who appeared among them. They would not take time to inquire his nationality. T "Most of the natives are very quiet and r . . . . - . j.-, '1 ' v > ^1. .-A'' if i 9 I docile. The Spanish conquest has been effected by means of the Catholic priests BABIN'CA PEDDLERS. and missionary, and it is a thorough one. The peeple are all devout, strict in meir ooservance 01 reugious uuu?, absolutely controlled by the church, and as industrious as could be expected in a climate where, during the hot season, no white man can safely venture outdoors, except in the early morning hours and alter sunset. Some of the women are very pretty, notwithstanding their Malayan type of features and their nigh cheek bone*, which remind one of the American Indians. But, whether pretty or not, they are all picturesque, the men as well as the women. I send you some pictures which will illustrate the various types. "One of these pictures is that of a native belle. She has a bright, expressive face, and soft, black eyes full of animation. She is modest and drops her eyes bashfully in the presence of strangers, but has for her intimate friends a smile fascinating in the extreme. And there are many such faces among the natives; one can see them at almost any hour^pf the day on the streets selling of various kinds, returning to or from their places of employment 01 peeping coyly out of the one window of the hut. These girls are never tall doi awkward, but their forms are just as nature made them, not distorted and deformed by the fashionable dress appliances of civilized life. They are ignorant of the ways of the Western world. "Another picture is that of a Spanish Mestizo, the offspring of a white father and a native mother. She is a fair type of her class and wears the usual costume. It consists of a long skirt of heavy silk and a waist and neckerchief of pina cloth embroidered with white silk, linen or cotton. Some ot the skirts are beautifully painted and embroidered and cost fabulous sums, for there are many very wealthy people among the Mestizo class, who, although they could not be welcomed in the best society, form an aristocracy of their own, which is very exclusive. A MILKMAN. "Another picture is that of a milk- i nan. Milkmen are very numerous in i Manilla and they may be seen hurrying < n every direction in the early morning lours. "Why they hurry I do not know, i or they seem to have very few custom:rs and plenty of time in which to serve hem, but they always travel at a dog rot. The milk they sell is from the ,\ater buffal*, very rich, and with a ather rank flavor. It requires to be liluted with water to make it palatable. rtie costume of the milkman in the pic:ure is what might be termed full dress. Vs a general thing he is seen without a lat and with his trousers rolled up. "One of the articles of food relished )y the natives of Philippines is 'bibinca,' i combination of boiled rice, grated rocoanut, sugar and buffalo milk, baked ( n a large flat cake and cut into small , liainond-shaped pieces an inch or two hick and three inches wide. It is sold n the streets in the early morning by j jative children. The boy and girl in < he picture are babinca peddlers."? ( Chicago News. . 1? < Facts About the Holly. Many must have observed that hollies, < vhen standing as individual trees, have 1 10 berries, much to the disappointment 1 )f those who love the association con- : lected with its showy red fruit. A ! ccent paper on the holly in the "Pro- 1 :eedings of the Academy of Natural ] sciences of Philadelphia,"s:)ows that the ] plant is really, though not apparently, 1 jnisexual. Reasons arc given for beieving the famous English holly to be 1 ilso unisexual, and the shortness of the liolly berry crop, so often regretted by Guglish journals, is not to be attributed so much to the laziness of the honey bee, which is usually dragged in to accouut [or all sorts of good and bad deeds imong flowers iu the Old World, as the failure of the winds to carry the pollen from the pollen-bearing to the pistellatc < :rees. It is conceded that bees play no sart, or a very minor one, in the cross- < ertilization of dioecious trees, as when a lee starts to get pollen it continues in i hat line of work, for the time, at least.

The Parisian method for cleaning black silk is as follows: Thoroughly brush and wipe with a cloth; then lay upon a skirtboard and sponge on the right side with coffee that has been etrained through muslin. Iron on the wrong side. The coffee removes every particle of grease and restores the brillancy of silk without imparting to it either the shiny appearance or crackly or papery Rt.iffness nht.Ainp.rl h? beer or. indeed, anv other liquid. The silk really appears to be thickened by the process, and this good effect is permanent. Experiment on a ribbon or cravat and be satisfied that this is the best method for cleaning silk.?Detroit Free Press. CARE OF BROOMS. Don't hang your broom brush end uppermost, unless you want to spoil it. If the brush is the least bit damp, the moisture will work down into the body of the broom and make it musty, and after a time will rot the threads all out. I know there is a great fancy nowadays for fastening the brooms on the wall bv means of nails driven through spools, as well as various broom-holders and similar devices, but it is all a mistake, as one may see by giving the subject "a little thought. Hang up a wet broom in thi3 way, and the water naturally soaks into the tying. Once wet, it would take days to dry it. Before it could be thoroughly dried, it gets wet again. The inside portion of the broom is fastened with wires., These become rustea ana breaic away, ana tne tnreaas which fasten the outside get rotted, and some little blow breaks them loose; then the broom is spoiled. Go to the hardware store and buy a dozen large-sized screw-eves. Put one of these in the end of the handle of every broom in the house. Drive nails and hang them up. Before putting them up it is well to dip them from about four or five inches of the length of the bruBh into hot water, hang them up and let them dry thoroughly before using. In this way the brush dries straight, and the broom will last as long again as when treated in the usual way. These screw-eyes have various uses, and it is economy to buy them by the gross. The dusting brusli? floor brushes ?anything with a wooden handle?may be hung up by means of them. The bread bo&rd, the ironing board, indeed, every wooden utensil about the house, may be much more conveniently placed by means of these trifling appliances. Such small wares cost almost nothing, and by their u=e one finds elbow room, shelf room and order much more easily than by almost any other means.? Ledger. ALMONDS, PEANUT8 AND MACAROONS. Salted Almonds-?A common way of preparing the nuts is to blanch and dry them, then put them in a new baking tin and allow one large tablejpooafu) of butter for each pound of almonds. Set them in a moderate oven, shake and watch them until brown, drain off the grease and sprinkle with salt. Keep in a cold place; serve in fancy dishes. Place on the table before the gue3ts are seated and pass several times. Baited Almonds, Rule No. 2?Pour hot water over them, blanch and wipe dry, put them in a wire basket, have a kettle of hot olive oil, smoking hot, sink the wire basket in the oil for a moment ind out again. Sprinkle the almonds with salt and put them in a cool place until they are ready to serve. Salted Almonds Prepared in CreamBlanch one nound of almonds, wipe drv and soak in sweet cream enough to cover, one hour, ektra out and dry, scatter salt over them through salt sifter, put on a baking plate and set in a moderate oven, shake often and brown. Salted Peanuts?These are much used and preferred by some to salted almonds. Get the uncooked peanuts, shell, put them on a tin in the oven to dry, then rub off the brown skin and put them in a baking tin with two tablesp.vonfuls of olive oil lor every quart of nuts. Set them on top of a hot stove, shaking and stirring them all the time until they are a rich brown?take up on a skimmer and drain. Sprinkle with salt aud cool.

The subject of the use of the flesh of animals killed by poison has been studied by Schmidt-Mulheim with a view to determine whether, if eaten by men, such flesh would be injurious. As reported in the Revistu Internazionale d'lgiene of Naples for June, 1891, it may be used without any danger whatever. Many savage races constantly use the flesh of the animals that h.ive been killed with poisoned weapons and have never been injured by that means. Harms has proved (Universal Medical Magazine) that the flesh of animals that have been poisoned with nux vomica and with tartarized antimony is not at all hurtful; Feser has demonstrated the same fact in regard to strychine and eserine; Spallanzani, Zappi, and Sonnenschein have done the same for arsenic. Froehner and Knudson have made some experiments for this purpose with strychine and with eserine. They fed dogs with large quantities of mutton poisoned with strychine abd eserine, and they found that no injury whatever was done to the animals. Besides, they themselves ate some of the poisoned meat and drank soup made from It, and found that the flavor was good and had no injurious effects whatever on the system. In regard to the alleged injurious effects caused by the meat of animals poisoned with hellebore, and which had eaten belladonna leaves, the authors have shown that the accounts published in this regard have not been proved and require further teste.?

"All modern boats don't have the texas, though it was an essential of the old system in the halcyon days of steamboating. The texas, you know, is that apartment of the upper deck just beneath the pilothouse where the crew shifts sleep. The word was first applied in the troublous times of the '30s and '40s, when Texas was first fighting for liberation from the despotic rule of Mexico, and afterward when the United States was plunged into war with the Aztecs to maintain the rights the brave Texane had wrung1 from Santa Ana. Recruits from the United States were carried down the Mississippi to New Orleans, and thence across the Gulf to Texas to help the Lone Star men in their war. The boats that took them down the river were the first to construct the apartment for the crew, and that sup V*n tulA^VtAtioA TKIQ InnAuofinn pui U3 IUV |/HVkUVUdV* ?tiuvTM?(VM in boat building made it possible for travelers to peer through the little windows from an elevation that enabled them to see a greater scope of country on both banks than they had before been accustomed to sweep with their vision. The innovation coming on just at the time that Texas was causing such a commotion all over the world, passengers and boatmen with one accord always referred to the apartment as the texas. The name has stuck to it ever since, and is about as good as any other, though I often bear people wonder at its origin." ?St. LouiB Globe-Democrat.

WORDS "ur ADVICE FROM A NOTED PHYSICIAN. A Former Student ot Sir Morrcll Mackenzie, of I<ondon, England. Every physician of extensive practice admits the difficulty?nay, almost hopelessness ?of treating Nephritic (kidney) troubles successfully. After seventeen years' experience in practicing my profession I had reached the same conclusion, and that our usual therapeutical agents were wholly inadequate to cope with such diseases, when my attention was called to Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot C. F. BROWN,'A. M., M. D. I have always been prejudiced against the use of patent medicines fa failure peculiar to the members of my profession), bat here was a preparation disdftwreSi by an old and scientific physician whose wide experience extending over many years, had given him exceptional advantages for treating disease successfully. Was it not, then, possible that he had found a cure where other* bad failed? I determined to test the matter. Shortly after arriving at this conclusion a young man came to consult me who had been a great sufferer from Kidney and Liver troubles for many years. He had been treated by a number of our leadin; physicians without obtaining any relief, and came to me as a last resort though with very little faith in my ability to effect a cure. I prescribed Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for him, and after taking the first bottle his condition was materially improved. He continued tne creatmant until at) una uscu three bottles when be was entirely cured aud to-day he is the picture of robust health an 1 vitality. Since then I hive prescribe 1 Swamp-Root for a number of my patients, and always with the most gratifying results, and now I believe it to be the tyest re nedy for all Kidney, Liver and Blalder complaints, both chronic or acuta, known to the world, if not an actual specific. With Dr. Kilmer's U. & 0. Anointment I have cured the most stubborn case of hemorrhoids; or piles, of tea years' standing which had been pronounced incurable after all the approved remeJies had been tried without avail. It is needless to add that experience has confirmed my entire confidence in Dr. Kil- i mer's preparations, which I frequently prescribe for my patients and invariably with the happiest results; therefore it affords me great pleasure to most cordially recommend them to suffering hum inity and to the m3jical profession, as I feel sure they will accomplish all an 1 even more than is claimed for them in every instance.
