IN ATIVE QUEEN OFINDIA
| PECULIAR PHASES IN THE LIFE’ OF THIS EASTERN GODDESS, ~
Picture of Oriental
Beauty, With Charity and Kindness
for All Shining Charocteristice —A&
Lover of Sport, Yet a Queen
The life of a Queen is not altogether as ethereal and blissful as some of us ordinary mortals would suppose. It has drawbacks and inconveniences innumer- able. This is particularly marked in the lives of the Brahman Queens of India. The preseut Maharanee of Kunigal is no exception. This daughter of the East, so much admired and loved by all who are fortunate to meet her, exists among a host of worshipers, secluded from the outer world and its attractions, as ‘‘the fair goddess” of her tribe. A Queen whose impulses are ever for good, she weilds a rare influence overall. Her constant thought is for those around her and especially for those of her subjects who are needy and destitute. She is never happier than when planning some little device for the pleasure of others, even sometimes those who may be the most abject among a great nation. Her simplicity and winning ways are capti- vating: she is at her best when the cen ter of interest and play in the nursery, which is a fairyland to behold.
The Maharanee (the Queen) is a pic- ture of Oriental beauty, a study which any artist might well covet. Her rich olive complexion contrasts well with the profusion of raven hair that is coiled carelessly a little to one side of her shapely head and fastened with jeweled pins, a small wreath of jasmine or stephanotis usually entwined therein. Her features are long, with bright laughing eyes, and her firm month dis- plays the most perfect teeth. Her ears are literally filled with precious stones there being ten or eleven distinct holes ineach, graduating in size to the tip. In her right nostril is set a tiny jeweled button and around her neck are charms of various <a.
Her tall figut is draped with airy and artistic effect. The robe consists of much soft India silk, elaborately em- broidered, arranged about her in mys- terious grace, a very enigma of garment without the explanation of a single stitch. It is closely pleated at the waist in front, falling in a fanlike train over the feet, and fastened with a belt of gold that is studded with crescents of pearls. This garment is short in the back and is brought over the shoulders hanging in soft loose folds) Her left arm displays a bracelet of costly gems of rare beauty and of profound historie interest which carries one back to the time of Cleopatra. It was found among some other buried treasures more than] a century ago, when the remote tors of the late King acqtire? it~ bracelet is supposed to have the power to resist the venom of all species of reptiles. A tiny linked chain connects it to one of no less value at the wrist. Jeweled sandals grace her otherwise unclad nether limbs surmounted by anklets of gold.
She will often express to her friends the great pleasure it would afford her to be able to go freely among her people. This is, however, forbidden her by the exacting and severe law of her caste: for being a Brahman, which is the highest of all castes in India, she is obliged to adhere strictly to the ‘law of inclosure.” This compels her at the age of twelve to be veiled and live in seclusion for the remainder of her life.
This rigid deprivation of all enjoy- ment of the worldis necessarily a severe shock to the sensibility of even an East- ern Queen. Never again does she re- ceive or converse with one of the oppo- site sex, save only her husband, the Ma- harajah. Neither isa domestic of her household permitted to look upon her, otherwise her caste would be broken and her birthright canceled.
This law among this high caste seems cruel and inconsistent, but the penalty of disobedience is supreme. The viola- tor of a law so sacred among the sex as that of ‘‘inclosure” has a horrible des- tiny awaiting her. She is expelled from among her tribe in shame to be- come an outcast, exiled from within the walls of the city for her crime.
But the present Maharanee, now in her 2th year, has six little brown faces to cheer her solitude. Her apartments, large and luxurious, occupy one side of the palace, opening one into another. Through long tapestried windows she steps into her private gardens, where the air is perfumed with the delicious fragrance of flowers. The littie rustic bridges that greet. the eye occasionally through these grounds connect the many beautiful terraces beneath which flows a refreshing and babbling brook, which, however, must babbie no sec- rets. Rivulets and brooks are treasures in India. They are few and far between in this region of magnificence. Here the royal prisoner, for so she is, takes her daily exercise, joined occas- jonally by her children, who come with the delightful anticipation of hearing some new fairy tale from the lips of the beautiful memsahib—who happens to be a rare story teller—as she is seated in one of her favorite arbors where the citron vines envelop the happy little group—a picture only Eastern.
When the Maharanee wishes to leave her apartments the command is given, and in a moment the turbaned attend- ants that crowd the halls disappear asif by magic. The silence that follows in- dues the surroundings with the air of a sanctuary rather than that of a palace. Presently there breaks upon the still- ness the faint tinkling of a bell, that announcess the royal presence, and the Maharanee comes forward stately, gracious, kindly, “every inch a Queen.”
She speaks English fluently, and is fond of sport.

ABOUT RECIPROCITY. |
HISTORY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS OF 1891.
Fully Discussed by Hen J. C Patterson
in His Recent Speech at St. Themas<-
The American and Canadian Evidence. asow, let me refer vou tothe eviaence which, I have said, fortunately is in the shaps ot state papers, both American aud Canadian. Our opponents secm always inclined to exhibit a preference for acceptance of American evidence, and I shall, therefore, deal with the American evidence tirst. This evidence is in the shape of a report made in March, 1892. by Mr. Biaine, who met the Canadian delegates upon the part ot ee United States, and | want you here to remember that this report was written a month after the negotiations took place, and for that reason would uccessarily ba less complete than a record kept daily of each day’ 's proceed- ings. The statement of the O; position is this, that the reason the Canadian commissioners did not succeed was that they refused to include
A LIST OF MANUFACTURED ARTICLES in a new treaty with the United States. There is not one tittle of evidence to substantiate this statement. (Cheers.) Indeed, there is the most direct evi- dence to the contrary. Mr. Laurier and his associates ar: perfectly aware of this evidence, (Cheers.) Let me give you, now the statcinent ef Mr. Biaine himselt It is as follows: ‘The Canadian commissioners then enquired if the Government of the United States would expect preferential treatment ex- tended to manufactured goods of the United Stxte’, on their introduction into Canada, by virtue of the recipro- city treaty, or whether it would regard the Canadian Gevernment as at liberty to extend the same favors to the manu- factured articles of othe> countries not parties to a treaty, on their introduction into Canada. The reply given to them was that it was the desire of the Gov- ernment of the United States to make a reciprocity treaty.
WHICH WOULD BE EXCLUSIVE
in its application to the United States aud Canada, and that other countries who are not parties to it should not en- joy gratuitously the favors whieh ths two neighboring countries might con- cede to each other for a valnable con- sideration, and ata large sacrifice. It was refused.” I wish you tomark the words, sir, with the reply, in the lan- ge of Mr. Blaine, that the United ates should enjoy th: privileges ex- chusively. In order to show what coun- tey Mr. Blaine had in his mind when asked for these exclusive privileges, I need only quote one more clause of his report to President Harrison. It econ- clodes thus: ‘‘The chief competitor of the United States for the trade of Can- ada is Great Britain. If Great Britain should be permitted to enjoy the bene- fits conferred upon the United States by means of the reciprocity treaty, its benefits to the latter would be in a great measure neutralized.” And, let me add, too, that this view of the case nut Harrison in his message to
. , the demand was for DISCRIMINATION AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN,
Sir, by the repost, therefore of the re- presentatives of the United States, the position was this: The question was asked of our representatives :
* Will you include manufactured arti- cles mm the treaty you propose?
Yhe enquiry in reply by our repre- tatives was, “On what terms would you wish them included ?”
he answer of the American repre- sentatives was,‘‘On terms by which you
will shut out. while admitting our- selves, the manufactures of your sister colonies that the motherland.” In other words, “that you should discriminate against all other countries in our favor.” Such was the American demand, as at- tested by the American evidence. Let me now refer you fora moment to the Canadian evidence and let me explain to vou first the method by which that evidence was taken down. Each day,
upon the conference with Mr. Blaine being concluded the Canadian Ministers wrote down a record of the day’s pro- ceedings. This record was signed by each Canadian Minister, and
MS ACCURACY WAS ATTESTED
by the signature of Her Majesty's atm- bassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote. As to details, therefore, the Canadian record of proceedings is much more likely te b: accurate than the record of Mr. Blaine, which was written a month after the interviews had occurred. There is - difference between the records prac-
cally, as to the main facts, but the Canadian record,as 1 have said, is more complete. And now, what is that record? According to it, on the 10th of February, 1892, “Mr. Foster, our Finance Minister, said that the Can- adian Government would require to know whether the United States would insist on preferential treatment, or whether Canada would be free to ac- cord the same terms to other countries. Mr. Blaine replied that like treatinent could not be given to other countries by Canada,
ESPECIALY AS GREAT BRITAIN
was actively in opposition to the United States manufactuces.” He added:
“WwW e should expect to have the Cana- cians to compete with in manufacture. but noone else.” Thus far it wili be seen that the two records perfectly agree in the fact that the United States demanded discrimination against Great Britain.
DISCRIMINATION DEMANDED.
Mr. Foster stated that a third ques- tion arose, namely, “Granted that dis- crimination in favor of the United States manufactures was nec :ssary, how should the standard of discrimina- tion be fixed, and what would be its de- gree? W ould the Canadian tariff have to be raised to that of the United States; or would the present Canadian tariff be sufficient ; or would Canada be at lib- erty to fix a rate as and when she pleased 2" Mr. Blaine replied that “This was a viial point. The United States interests could only be guarded, in his opinion, by
MAKING THE TARIFF UNIFORM
for both countries and equalizing the Canadian tariff with that of the Unit +! States. ‘Now, sir, | have given to you and this audience the nistory of these ucgotiations. As you will see by it. the Canadian commissioners had thes: de mands made upon them:
1. That we should discriminuste against great Britain ;
2. That we should lower our excise
orter that they both might be uniform; and
3. That we should adopt the Amer- ican tariff. In other werds we were asked to
TURN OUR BACK UPON THE MOTHERLAND,
to yield our contro! of our fiscal system and to hand it over te the people and the Congress of the American republic. Unhesitatingly our commissioners de- clined each and every ome of these pro-
sals, and I venture the assertion,
snowing as I do the independent iit and patriotic loralty of the Canadiau
people, that in that refusal they are
supported by 99 out of every 100 of the ce of this
# country. (Cheers. hs

‘BIG SNAKES IN BRAZIL.
Avpacondas Busty Feet aaa Which Can't Be Kept at a Distance,
Whatever the possible dimensions of the Indian and African boas, there can be no doubt that the anaconda of Brazil grows to a size which would make this species as much the scourge of the Bra- zilian forest and of the waterway of the Amazons as the shark is of tropical har- bors, were its ferocity equal to its strength and astonishing power of speed whether on lardorin water. It could kill and probably devour every creature, including man, which is found in the Amazon delta. The late Mr. Bates, in the eleven years spentin the Brazilian forest, saw and heard more of the habits of the anaconda than most travelers, though, like other great serpents, the in- dividuals of this species are s0 little common that their appearance in any one district is too infrequent to make a special study of their habits part of the day's work of a busy naturalist. Bates first personal experience of the creature shows how impossible it is to avoid the python by the ordinary means of isola tion sufficient to keep other dangerous creatures at a distance. He was at an- chor in a large boat, in deep water,in the part of Antonio Malagueita. An ana conda swam to the boat, lifted itshead from the water, broke in the side of a fowlhouse on deck, and carried off a couple of fowls. It was found that this snake had been stealing ducks and fowls from this part of the river for months, 60 a hunt was organized, miles of river bank were searched, and the serpent at last found sunning itself in a muddy creek and killed. It was ‘‘not a large specimen, only eighteen feet nine inches long.” But Mr. Bates measured skin: of anacondas which were twenty-one feet in length and two feet in girth, and he adds, ‘‘there can be no doubt that this formidable serpent grows to an enormous bulk, and lives to a great age, for Ihave heard of specimens having been killed which measured ferty-two feet in length, or double the size of the largest which I had the opportunity of examining.”
We must add a correction here. They were double the length; but the size o these great reptiles, like that of fish, in creases enormously with every addition in longitudinal growth. A snake twenty feet in length would be probably fonr times the weight of ope ten fret long, aud the bulk of a four foot anaconda would spproach that of the largest cro
Naturalist’s Voyage on the Amazons’ an anaconda of twenty-nine feet has been brought to the Natural History Museum at South Kensington. A neighbor of Bates in Brazil nearly lost his ten-year-old son by the attack of an anaconda. He had left the boy in his boat while he went to gather fruit, and on his return found him encircled by the snake, whose jaws the father seizeJ and actually tore them asunder.—Lon- don Spectator.
“Good Enough For Remenyi.
The following is said to be a verbatim account of the introduction of an emin- ent violinist to afar western audience:
‘Ladies and gentlemen,” began Col onel Handy Polk, the well-known real estate agent, stepping tothe front of the stage ard addressing the audience, ‘*ii is my privilege this evenin’ to interduce to you Signor ——, the notorious furrin fiddler, who will endeavor to favor us with some high class and A No. 1 violin playin’. The signor was born and raised in Italy, where fiddlin’ is not merely a fad, but as much of a businessas politics is in this country, and when it comes to handlin’ a bow he emphatically knows whur heis at. He hasn't dropped into our midst by accident, but comes under the auspices of the literary society, which is payin’ his wages and backin’ him to the last gasp. Solet it be understood that if you happen to have any criti cisins to offer you are to do your kickin’ to the society, and not to the signor. I'll just add that if you expect him to swing the fiddie around his head or play it under his leg, like we used to skip stones across the swimimin’ hole when we were little boys and girls. you may just as well go right now and git your money back from the doorkeeper, for the signor hain’t that kind ofaplayer. That'salll have to say at present. Start up signor. —Harper’s Mage zine.

Business Aphorisms.
Carlyle wasn’t a man of business, but he would have made a success of it had he tried it. In his writings one finds these lines of solid business truth:
A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.
Have a smile for all, 8 pleasant word for everybody.
To succeed, work hard, earnestly and incessantly.
All honest men will bear watching. It is the rascals who cannot stand it.
Better have the window empty than filled with unseasonable and unattract ive goods.
When you hang a sign outside your place of business, let it be original in design and of good quality.
Wondrous is the strength of cheerful- mess; altogether past calculation its power of endurance. Efforts to be per manently useful must be uniformly joyous, a spirit of sunshine, graceful from very gladness, beautiful because bright.
