Besides the war between China and
Japan the orient is the scene of an
other war. The sovereigns who are
contending for the mastery are the
fourteen-year-old Queen Wilhelmina of
Holland and Balinese Rajah, who
claims sovereignty over the island of
Loinbok, Dutch East Indies.
The contest, writes Thomas Parke
Gordon in Golden Days, is not as un
equal a one as might at first be sup
posed; for the youug queen's troops
have met with such serious reverses as
to cast a gloom over the whole king
dom. The queen's birthday was to have
been celebrated on a grand scale at
The Hague, August 31, but on account
of the losses sustained by her troops at
Lombok she gave orders to abandon
the usual festivities.
For over half a century the Dutch
have exercised sovereignty over Lom
bok, in trying to discipline whose ori
ental ruler their troops have met with
so disastrous a defeat; but this sov
ereignty has been merely nominal, the
real ruler being Balinese Uajah. The
latter a strict Brahmin has been for
some years trying to rid himself entirely
of the Dutch influence in his country's
affairs, and recently, with this end in
view, he tried to secure the support of
the British government.
That was about four months ago.
When he found that his efforts were
ineffectual he procured a small flotilla
of naval vessels, and made other war
like preparations.
The Dutch authorities protested
against such proceedings, but the rajah
paid no attention to them War was
then declared and three battalions of
the colonial army were sent against
him, with artillery, and five men-of-war
to support them, to teach the ori
ental potentate a lesson. But the
Dutch, instead of teaching him a lesson,
met with overwhelming defeat, as has
been recorded in the cable dispatches
which have been received at this writ
ing. There had been bloody battles
before in the East Indies, but never
have Europeans been so badly beaten.
Lombok called Tanah Sasak by the
natives and Selaprang by the Balinese
is an island of the Sunda group, lying
east of Java, with the island of Bali
intervening. It has an area of about
,098 square miles, which is watered'by
numerous small streams, scarcely any
of which are navigable, and dotted over
with many mountain lakes.
There are two mountain ranges, be
tween which is a well-watered plain,
wholly planted with rice, the hillsides
producing coffee and Indian corn. The
scenery throughout the island is beau
tiful forest-clad mountains and thorny
ungles alternating with the rich allu
vial plains, which are cultivated liko
gardens under an ancient and elaborate
system of irrigation.
To the naturalist, Lombok is of pe
culiar interest as the frontier island of
the Australian regions, with its cocka
toos and mound-builders and bee-eaters
and ground-thrushes. The popula
tion is about half a million.
There can lie but little doubt as to
the outcome of the war. While the
rajah may be able to keep off the
Dutch fur months and years, sooner or
later Wllhehuinu's troops must be victorious.
At best, the war can only cause her
the loss of that one island, although if
all the other Dutch colonies, encour
aged by the outcome of the war in
Lombok, should link bunds and revolt,
their independence would probably re-
sult.
It is interesting to call attention to
the colonies of Holland. This little
European kingdom, with an area of
but 1-.0H rVuare miles and a popula
tion of 4,fii'J,ri70 which In alxnit the
area of Delaware and Maryland to
gether, and half a million less than the
population of the state if Pennsylvania

womanly fashion.
her graces and virtues, however, Alex
andra Feodorovna has a woman's love
for finery and trinkets, and she is giv
ing evidence of an intention of indulg
ing it to the utmost. She has just
given a Copenhagen jeweler a truly re
gal order for a diamond coronet and a
necklace of oriental pearls. The coro
net, which is to be framed of Greek
crosses and worn in the Grecian knot of
her hair, will cost two hundred and
forty thousand dollars and the necklace
will be worth three hundred and forty
thousand dollars.
Besides the rich jewels that belong of
right to the czarina, presents galore
are pouring in upon the young empress.
The shah of Persia sent her a superb
pearl necklace, which has quite a his
tory of its own. In reaching the Kus
sian capital, says a society tattler, this
necklace only returns to its original
home. It originally belonged to Cath
erine tne Great, who was so fond of it
that she used to sleep with it around
her neck.
But greatly attached to it though she
was, Catherine for some reason or other
gave it to one of her two OrlofE favor
ites, who took it first to Germany and
then to Paris with him. In the French
capital he met with that extraordinary
adventurer, St. Germain, the magician,
who went into the best circles, was a
great favorite with the king, and, in
fact, ruled the court society of the day.
This brilliant charlatan, who used to
assert that he was over eighteen hun
dred years old and had known the Sa
viour in Jerusalem, bought this neck
lace from OrlofE and sold it to the Per
sian envoy.
Thus it found its way to the lanr of
the lion and the sun, whence it is now
returned to the land of the bear.

DAINTY POWDER PUFFS.
Cost the Lives of Nearly Twenty Thousand
Young Swan Kvery Year.
A new count in the indie! ;; en t, against
woman in the matter of I:-.1:' craving for
plumage ornamentation is found in the
way in which it is said the needs of her
dressing table are supplied.
An English journal warns the Lon
don ladies that their powder puffs,
those airy necessities of the toilet, are
heavy with the blood of slaughtered in
nocents.
It is stated that as many as twenty
thousand young swans cygnets, as
they are called are killed every year
to supply this dainty fluff, to say noth
ing of innumerable young birds of the
eider duck and wild goose variety.
The bulk of these are imported the
swan and goese from the islands of the
Baltic and from Norway and Sweden,
and the elders from the northern and
more icebound seas.
One evirnet will make nearly a dozen
average-sized "puffs," which shows how
many women must be, to a greater or
less extent, addicted to the use of pow
der.
The puff trade is highly profitable,
a may be judged from tho fact
that the down of cygnet costs a
little more than twenty-five cents,
the poor creature often being plucked
alive ho that it may bear another crop,
while the pulis urc sold at from seventy-live
cents upward, nicely mounted in
bone and blue or pink satin, which ad-
uncts amount to comparatively noth
ing.
The ladies of Paris und Vienna lire
the largest consumers of puffs, owing
chiefly to their fastidiousness in casting
Aside puffs as soon as they lose their
pristine delicacy.

Karnses, once a famous family of oil
operators, had their home, and some of
them live there and thereabout yet.
One of these is Henry Karns. The
other day, early in the morning, he
heard his pig, which had reached the
proper condition for killing, squealing
in such an agonizing way in the pen
that he knew something was wrong
with it. Karns' first thought was
bear, for now and then, even at this
late date, bears venture from the dis
tant woods to the sleepy towns in that
part of the valley and try their skill on
pigs and sheep. So Karns took his gun
and hurried to the pig pen. But- instead
of bears rats were the impudent in
vaders of the pig pen and hungry assail
ants of the pig.
The stye was simply alive with rats.
The pig was prostrate on the floor of
the pen, and literally covered with this
horde of rats, which were squealing,
fighting among themselves for vantage

ing and gnawing at the pig's flesh.
from his head to his rump. To lire his
gun into the swarming rats would be
the endangering of the pig, and think
ing that a prompt and vigorous attack
on the rats would put them to flight, he
clubbed his gun and began mauling 1
right and left with it. The pig had
plainly made a desperate fight against
its assailants, for scores of rats lay
dead about the pen. The moment
Kurns pitched into the rats those in the
outer ranks turned on him. They came
at him in such force that he was un
able to tight them off, and after a brief
attempt to held his ground he turned
and fled. Hastening back to the house
lie drew the buckshot from his gun aud
loaded it with fine shot. Returning to
the pen, he gave the great body of rats,
shooting along the side of the pig so as
not to injure it, the charge of both bar
rels. Many of them were swept down
before it, but their places were quickly
taken by others. Kurns tired five times.
The rats that were left still held their
ground.
The shots had attracted the attention
of the neighbors, who ran to the place
to see what was going on. This arrival
of reinforcements alarmed the rats, and
the survivors retreated, scampering
away in all directions. The pig was
dead. The flesh had been stripped from
it clear to the bone in many places. Its
eyes had been plucked out, and its
heart half eaten in two. A half-bushel
basketful of dead rats were taken from
the pen. Where the rodents came from
so suddenly in such great numbers is
not known. None of them lias been
seen since.
WHIPPED HER DRESSMAKER. !
An Exasperated Customer's Patience Worn
Out Justified in Court.
A case was recently tried in a jus
tice's court in Pittsburgh which, if
established as a precedent, will lead to
a notable reform, says the Washington
Star. One woman employed another to
make a dress for her, and in spite of re
peated calls and constant protestations
that she had nothing to wear that did
not make her look like a perfect fright,
the dressmaker continued to delay the
manufacture of the gown with that
calm and superior scorn so many of the
class affect. The customer at last grew
desperate and in a moment of frenzied
anger sailed into the dressmaker and
punished her physically in a hair-pulling,
face-scratching, hysterical, wom
anly way. The assailant was arrested
and tried before a justice, who prompt
ly dismissed the action. The possibil
ity that other courts may follow a
similar course in similar cases awakens
a glad tune of hope in the heart. When
a woman can take out of her dress
maker or a man out of his tailor sub
stantial repayment of soul for the vex
ation and disappointment incident upon
the everlasting delay in finishing a
dress or a suit the millenium will sure
ly be getting close to its place in the
calendar.

MACHINE-MADE SPEECHES.
Turned Out with Marvelous lUpldlty by a
Iteeent Dnirllsh Invention.
There is no doubt that both the type
writing machine and the phonograph
are very Ingenious and useful inven
tions, but the chief difilculty with
them, says the New York Times, is
that they cannot lie made to net auto-
maticullv. It Is in order to nil this
want that a distinguished inventor,
whos name Is for the present with
held, Iium invented an automatic writer,
and, judging from the private exhibi
tion of the machine which was n ntly
given in Loudon to a committee of
iiicuiImth of the Royal society, it bids
fuir to prove the greatest invention of
this or any age.
In appearance the machine Is said to
bu not wholly unlike a typewriting
machine. It, however, Is provided with
a sort of hotiie-r, in which are placed
blocks of typeiiietnl.each one of which
is provided with a complete word, In

Famous for Its Canoes.
Tilghmun's island, a part of Talbot
county, Mil., and connected with the
mainland by a bridge, Is famous in the
Chesa)eal(e region for its canoes. The
island is about three square miles In
area, and is densely popuiuieu ny a
hardy race of eastern shore men, who
gain their living in the waters of the
buy. When ice or the laws of Mary
land interfere with their ordinary pur
suits, the Tilghman'H Islanders build
canoes, and do it admirably well. The
true Chesapeake cuiiih- isslill n dugout.

The founder of the Japanese niivy
was un Englishman named Will Adams,
who went to the eastern seas us a pilot
of n Dutch licet in I.V.is, and was east
away in Jupau a couple of yeurs later.
He became a .'npuiicsc imlilit and eon

The Scotch of the present day are
patriotic, but not inclined to militarism.
The recruiting sergeant goes among
starving crofters and idle workmen, but
he finds few willing to take the royal
shilling and serve their country as sol
diers. A writer in the Scotch Review
says that this reluctance to enlist,
shown by Scotchmen, is due to a craze
for personal independence and to a
rooted dislike to strict discipline.
"We'll no pairt with oor lubertyl" is
Sawney's response to the appeal to fol
low his country's flag. By way of con
trust to this reluctance, the writer tells
an incident illustrative of tho martial
spirit which animated the youug
Scotch recruit of former days.
The intended recruit was brought up
to the orderly-room for inspection by
the commanding ollicerof the regiment.
On being measured, be was found to be
a trifle under the regimental standard
of height.
lie was a strong built and likely-
looking young fellow, and therefore
the colonel relucti.ntly decided that ho
could not be accepted. Expressing his
regret, he told the recruit that he was
too short to be enlisted.
O colonel," exclaimed tho excited
recruit, "ye'll surely no turn me back!
I'm wee, but Tin iri.-foU." ("Wicked"
was Scotch for spunky, mettled.)
Tin; colonel stretched a point and
passed hiin.
Slightly Changed.
A young Colorado mining engineer,
whom we will call Morton (according
to llarper'M "Drawer"), was once seated
in it chair in a Denver barber shop un
dergoing a shave. The talk turned on
the ease of a mini who, being on trial
for murder, hud been recognized by
visitors to the courtroom us a young
theologicul student from a middle
slate, where he hud been the xmcssor
of a sMitess reputation und a totally
d liferent iiatne. The conversation
thereupon drifted to the subject of
changed Identities. Morton's burlier
rubbed the razor on tin; strop reflective
ly and said: "Yes, it's surprising how
many men change) their names after
they get out west. Ily the way, Mor
ton, what wits your name back east?"
"MUtcr Morton," was the quirt reply.
