Tho skull of its leader, Oorcrnor Sir cSarlcs McCarthy, was tornod into a drinking cup, from which. If they at all behaved according to their wont, Pmnpeh’s ancestor and his vic torious warriors must hare toasted each other in bumpers of human blood. Tho second expedition, ye:nr 1803, was also iftteu, but by King Fever. Most people know the hutory of tho third expedition, Lord Wolseley’s, year 1878. Every newspaper reader has a general idea of the fourth and final expedition, which, without firing a shot, made an end of Prempeh’s hideous rule, on the 20th of January, 1890. The recording angel saw' at least one good deed done the earth that day, Jotting it down Bull’s credit as a singularly satis- ictory example of his work in tho >rid. Those who may like to possess a • upset, faithful, most readable record ho campaign will find it in the illus trated voinme of Major Badeu-Powell’s, to which is appended a suggestive chap ter by Sir George Baden-Powell, M. P., on the political and commercial position of Ashanti. However much we may detest war, it is gratifying to rccogniw) tho fact that this west African one has been a service to humanity. King Prempeh was one of the three or four most appalling mon sters with whom the British govern ment has had relations within the last 20 years. Still, hud it been merely a question of removing Prempeh, the suc- lessful expedition would not have de served all the culogium wo have just bestowed upon it. When on Jan. 20 Prempeh did homage to Governor Max well, kneeling on a biscuit box, while his excellency sat on another, it was not merely a black king who passed r i away, but a whole atrocious system of I blood, torture and state sorcery that had endured from immemorial time. The name Kumassi means “the death place. ” IIow well it deserved its name is made plain enough in the first part of Major Baden-Powell’s book. So rmnirr- ous were PrentiH'h’s executioners that two whole streets of the town were set apart for them to live' in. Ono of tho streets was occupied by the executioners of men, women and children doomed to be sacrificed. In spite of tho Wolseley treaty, human sacrifices were never stopped in Ashanti. At the harvest fes tival human Ix'iugs were sacrificed to the spirits. Whenever the king made a pilgrimage to his ancestral ghosts, ho sacrificed 20 men, hacking their heads off on tho edge of his execution bowl, a vessel five feet across. “The blood of the victims was allowed ♦o pntrefy in the bowl, and leaves of certain herbs being added it was enn- fidored a very valuable fetich medicine.’ - When a groat personage died, “two of his household slaves were at once killed on the threshold of the door, in order to attend their master immediately in his new life, and his grave was afterward lined with the bodies of more claves who were to form his retinue in tho spirit world. ” Sometimes the slaves, or free people kidnaped for tho puri>ose, were buried alive with the dead person age. Slave girls were killed to accom pany their mistress into the other world. Great numbers were paerifleed when a king died. When a man was kidnaped for Fueriflcc, he was gagged with a knife run through hisein eks. These frightful customs of the Ashanti capital were oh served 1 y every kinglet in the Ashanti “empire. ” Executions were decreed on any pretense. “It is even said that on one occasion be (Prempeh) preferred a richer eolor in the red stucco on the walls of the palace and that, for this purpose the blood i f 400 virgins was used. ” We need Fay nothing of tho march, in which our author rendered most excel lent service with his pioneering and covering corps. The following funny ttory is worth quoting: A native runner came in “with a crumpled piece of pa per” bearing the inscription, “Major Gordon killed 14th instant.’’ Commo tion and grief, cf course. Then “some one discovered a faint js-ncil note of re ceipt initialed by Major Gordon himself, and it then was remembered that a piece of fresh meat had been sent off to him a day or two previously with this pelf Fame labf 1 attached to it. ” There is a very good description of tho last peonos at Kumassi, including tho destruction of the fetieh village and the blowing r,. with gun cotton of the “great fetieh tteo in whose shade hundreds of vic tims have been sacrificed.” The old Ashanti “darn” which prevented com mercial intercourse betwe u tho coast and the interior being now removed.

The ruby, ns indeed every other gem, had its magical properties in those old times when occultism wj s nn article of faith. Tho oriental ruby de fied both poiron and the plague. Worn on the person or ground to powder and drunk as a drug it preserved tho wearer and the swallower from that ever pres ent danger of poison, that ever present fear of tho plague. When misfortunes and evil days threatened tho wearer, it lost its brilliancy and became sad and dark. A learned German with an unpro nounceable name testifies to this. “On tho 6th day of October, 1600 after the birth of Christ Jesus, as I was going with my beloved wife Catharine Adcl- mannio (cf pious memory), from Stut- gard to Cahena, I observed by the way that a very fine ruby which I wore mounted in a gold ring (tho one which she had given mo) lost repeatedly and each time almost completely its splen did eolor, and that it assnmnf a somber, blackish hue,which blackness lasted not one day, but several, so much so that, being greatly astonished, I drew tho ring from my finger and pr.t it into a casket I also warned my wife that some evil followed her or me, the which I augured from tho change cf tho ruby. And truly I was not deceived, for within a few days she was taken mortally sick. After her death the ruby resumed its pristine color and bril liancy.”—New York Dispatch. Ills •‘Sheer.” The distinction of Ic^ig the riches!: and meanest man in the town in which lie lived belonged to old Andy Scraggs. No ono questioned his right to this hon or when old Andy’s wife died and he went to four different undertakers, try ing to get them to make him a coffin for $5 out of some worm eaten old black walnut boards ho had kept in his barn for 20years “for that very purpose, ” as ho admitted. # When ho was worth over $160,000, a committee went to him to solicit some thing for a widow with six little chil dren who had been burned <mt of house and home and who hail not a penny in tho world nor a change of clothing for her children or herself. “I’m dreadful sorry for her,” paid old Andy, “dreadful sorry, and I agree with yon that it’s right for her friends and neighbors to help her out. I’ll do my sheer, gentlemen; I’ll domy sheer. ” He was making his nsnal five or six tons ct mapie sugar at tho time, ami, after a few moments’ reflection, he said: “I’ll tell you what I’ll da I’ll send her over two quarts o’ maple sirup if she’ll be sure to send back the jar I’ll have to put it in. I think that’ll be ’kont my sheer, gentlcmiu. ”—Detroit Free Press.

Formerly the “common peold”—tho woman who made her neighbors’ lives intolerable with her raging temper, her bitter tongue, her slanders and calum nies—was found everywhere. Laws were p.v-vd n cognizing her as one kind of criminal. There were two forms of punishment by which she was repressed or deterred or cowed into gentleness— viz, tho clicking stool and the brank. Tho clicking stool assumed various shapes, but it generally consisted of a chair on one end of a beam, which rested on a bar so as to make » seesaw. Soma- times the chair was hung from the beam by a chain. The culprit l»eing tied on tho chair, the other end of the beam went up and the chair went down into the water, sousing the 'woman com pletely. They did this three times, after which they let her go. 8nch stools belonged to nearly every parish. Like the stocks and the pillory, they formed part of the furniture of jus tice. For instance, about London, there was one on Bankside with which they ducked the wives of the players. There was ono at Kaddiffc, one at Kingston- on-Thames, and there was one which stood till the beginning of this century beside the great pond or reservoir of the Green park. Apparently the chair and tho cold bath did not completely destroy the fe male tendency to scold, for it was found necessary to invent another punishment, which was extensively adopted, although not authorized by the law. This was the “brank, ’ ’ or “scold’s bridle, ’ ’ which consisted of a small cage formed by'iron hoops to lit tho head, with a piece of iron which pressed the tongue and formed tho gag. Thus adorned, the scold was either led or carried about the town for all the world to see. Sometimes she was placed on a high scaffold. The brank was used in some places down to tho beginning of the century. Its disuse, its disappearance, make ono incline to the belief that the scold has also disap peared. However, such is not tho case. The disease or infirmity of scolding still exists, but in a much milder form. The mildness of the modern form is mainly duo to the improved conditions of life. Two hundred years ago tho villago household was insufficiently fed; tho quality as well as the quantity of the food was bad; work was hard; men we re rough; husbands beat their wives habit ually; in cold weather they were thinly clad; in hot weather their clothes were too thick. If there was any indulgence possible, it took the form of beer. Tea did not exist. Children, hungry and , cold, cried all day and all night; every- i thing combined to exasperate a woman, i What wonder if, from time to time, she | lost control of herself and became copi- ! ously eloquent over her wrongs? Things i have great ly improved. The husband no I longer—or very seldom—beats his wife; the food has become cheap; wages have gone up; luxuries, formerly unattain able, have become necessaries; the scold is dying out of the land because there is so little left to scold about.—Phila delphia Ledger. Eotxlon Fojr Fi-waut Ioim. It has been computed that a fog costs the metropolis from £80,000 to £100,- 000 a day. A la r go portion of fids Is borne by the railroad companies. As food as the fog do'ccnds the plate lay ers, without wailing orders, leave their work and undertake tho duties of fog signalmen. For this they receive an ex tra shilling a day. This appears a small ilrm, yet a single fog has Ikhui known to cost over £80 for extra wages to plate layers at Clnpham Junction alone. Each fog signal man is supplied with a lantern, flags and a supply of detona tors. By means of these he conveys to the engine drivers tho signals which they cannot distinguish through the mist, “Caution” is given by a single det onator, “danger” by two detonators placed upon the rails at a distance of ten yards apart Detonators are pmall tin boxes two inches in diameter, each containing three percussion caps and a pmall quantity of gunpowder. At the base of each are two strips of lend for fastening it to the rail. They are made with great care, chiefly in Birmingham and London, and it is rarely that one fails to explode. The wholesale price of detonators is 1 penny each, and the av erage annual consumption of each big railway company is about 160,000, cost ing £026.—Sau Francisco Chronicle. ONE HEART.

I thought that 1 knew most of the manners and customs of the eighteenth century, but I find two or thn-o with which I was unacquainted, so that very likely there are a great many more still undiscovered. In the year 1792, for instance, visit ing was managed by sending round an empty chair attended by footmen—that is to say, the chairmen carried the chair and bohind.it walked two footmen, who carried tho cards ami with grave faces asked at each door whether Lady A. *was at home. Hho never was at home. A.gain—but only if ono was .a very great lady—it was common to invite one’s friends to a rout, and when the street was blocked with tho coaches and the rooms with tho company assembled the hostess would call her own coach and go off to somebody elso’s rout. Also, for another pretty trait, there were ladies, but not great ladies, who gave frequent card parties and found their hospitality profitable on account of the “card money.” At that time every player was supposed to Flip some thing under a candlestick. When the company departed, the servants collected tho money for themselves. fn the ease of this prudent housewife she lifted the candlesticks herself and kept tho coin.—London Queen.

Well Known Sculptor Describes It ns the IVrfcct One Should He. “I find great difficulty in getting a model with good arms,” said a well known sculptor recently. “It is aston ishing how very few women have arms that conform to the standard. A perfect arm measured from tho armpit to tho wrist joint should be twice the length of the head. Tho upper part of the arm should be large, full and well rounded. Tho forearm must not lie too flat, not nearly so fiat as a man’s, for example. A dimple at the elbow adds beauty to a well proportioned arm. “From u well molded shoulder tho whole arm should taper in long, grace ful curves to a symmetrical and rounded wrist. It is better to have an arm that harmonizes even if the parts do not fol low the generally accepted lines. For instanef 1 , a full, round upper arm which is joined to a flat or thin forearm has a very bad effect. It is only a degree worse, however, than a graceful, well molded forearm tacked on to a thin, scrawny upper arm. “Correctness of form is not tho only thing necessary for a good arm. Tho owner must possess the power of expres sion in her arms. As a general thing American women are deficient in this. Those nationalities which show the most expression in their arms are tho Spanish, French and Italians. The warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhardt would not claim that she had beautiful arins, yet no one cun say .that the divine Sarah ever appears ungainly in conse quence. Much more lies in the faculty of arm expression than is generally supposed.’’-—Boston Post A Kavosft, A kavass is a native servant appoint ed by the sultan to tho various embas sies and legations.

Those who have read “Paul PatolT” will remember the terror of tho kavass on Alexander Patoff’s mysterious disappearance from St. Sophia. There arc six kavnsses at the British embassy. Their undress uniform is dark blue cloth thickly braided in black, with a broad gold belt and gold straps over the shoulder.

A curious case of “mimicry” has bei n noticed on the coast near Manilla, in the Philippine islands. The seeds of a bean fall among quartz pebbles, and so closely resemble thetn in shape, size, color, luster, hardness and stratification as to be distinguishable from them only by a very close e xamination. The beaus range from a third of an inch to an inch in size, and vary greatly in shape also, some resembling well rounded beach pebbles and others mimic pebbles that have been broken across. The color varies from dark to light drab, some with a greenish tinge, while others re semble pebbles of chalcedony or crystal lized quartz. Nearly all show a series of dark bands, suggestive of stratifica tion. All arc hard, and clink when shaken together.—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

A Story cf tho Way t ho Orloff St ono V.'a» Taken From Forsia to Ilussia. Gnu Fox, a dealer in diamonds on Fourth street, has u story about the f.i- moun Orle.ff diamond, named after Count Orloff, tho first European who bought it. Fox says: “It was originally tho eye > t an idol in Trichiiiopoli. It was stolen, according to tho accepted account by a Frenchman, who eeeuped with it to Per in, where he sold it for the equivalent in r nr money of $8,000 to a Jewish nn'reliant. “Tie J WiYh merchant sold it to an Armenian mun' d Mnifras, who had traveled in Pussia and conceived the idea cf tfiring the diamond to that country and •oiling it to the Empress Catherine f a .'-rent cum. Shafras paid him ifOo.Oe ) for i*. “Having rewired the stone, tho next question with d’cafra/i was how toget it to Hus. ia, or rather how to conceal it when he was; searched by robbers, as he was sare to be on the road. The journey was a long and perilous ono, and thieves abound'd cv< eywhere. Shafras thought of swallowing the stone when he should he take n by the robbers, but was obliged 1 to give that plan up, as the diamond was too large to swallow. “He b^gan to fe'1 ho had phant i n his hand ; wh< n currcd to him.
