About an hour later the tugging at my finger again aroused me and I discovered my friend, the ‘Wreck, sitting up, blinking rapidly and drinking fociably with a dark-skinned Turk on a neighbor. ‘Lemine introduce you to my friend, Hoozle—no —no, Mooziutn Pasha,” said the Wreck with BB airy Wave of the hand. “He's going wo dive ‘With Us to-night—garcon, give us another drink.” ‘Then he leaned over to the Turk and said in French 8 he indicated me with a jerk of his head: “This 4s the Hereditary Grand Governor of Dakota.” ‘The Turk bowed profoundly.

Then they drank. It was after # o'clock when we arrived but no Que Was there. The Labits of the host were well Known.

PAKISTAN CUSTOMS. At the farther end of the garden was the stage. Warlety actors succeeded one another as the time Wore ou. The feminine performers pulled their skirts up above their waists Whenever an opportu- nity for 2 dance occurred, and the songs and “witticisms” of the men were full of the smut ‘which plays so prowinent a part on the Parisian =. ‘Scattered about on the grass were chairs Sad tables, The entrance fee was nothing, Dut ‘whoever (ook a chair or ordered a drink had to pay forty cents. It made no difference what the sehedule price of the drink might be. A party of British tourists were protesting ‘loudly and angrily about this in one corner while the French spectators looked on in polite as- Yonishment that people should make such & nowy ado over an established custom. At 8:30 one of the waliers discovered two New ‘York burlesque actresses in an adjoining room at Gunner. ‘Tuere were three men with them—a Brazilian sporting man who had spent a million oliars trying (o set Paris on fire and had nothing Jeft to show for it but a ruddy supset giow on the nd of his nose; Ube scapegrace son of one of the Old-tinie Wail sireet brokers, who had his friends and run off with a clever actress whose tiglits and eyes were her fortune, and a Milwaukee Wine agent with one eye.

Rules for Hanging Pictures. From Good Housekeeping. ° It we suppose pictures wisely chosen and framed, there still remain certain questions as to thei Judicious hanging. Here we note first that they should be suited primarily as to their subjects, nd next as to size to the room in which they are tobe put. This rule is followed in the general custom of placing tn the study or the library por- traits of authors, and similarly in the music-room_ those of great composers, Some householders even goto thelength of selecting for the dining-room Fepresentations of game, fish, or fruit, Negatively, the more important application of this rule 15 probably tat family portraits, especially if large, should be kept in tue more private rooms rather than tn those used by almost all persons who come into the house, It 1s hard ‘to namea practice in much worse taste than to have in tue parlor one, two, or, 10 some cases, an extended row of portraits of ple, perhaps very estimable personally, Dut hav. Ang no other clait to distinction than being mem- bers of the family living in the house. Landscapes can scarcely be termed out of place in any room. An important canon of good taste ts that one and ‘the saine apartment should contain either colored Or monochrome pictures, but not both. ‘This rule 4s perhaps subject to exception where a person is living in but ope or two rooms, and is thus under some necessity to bany in proximity incongruous Pictures.

In its aggra- Vated form, insomnia 1s a grave malady, calling often for herole treatment, But this aggravation, Where it 1s not a primary result of advanced dis- ease, may be estabilsued by the habitual depend- ence upon hypnotics. We have lately spoken of this danger, and deprecated the use of oplum, chloral, cocaine, &c., for trivial causes. ‘There are a great many cases of insomonta iu which sit- ple, direct physiological treatment will accom- plish the desired end.

Such correspondents must remember that the day of big game pleuty in the West ts for- ever past, and that It ls no longer possible to give explicit direction where game can be found. The West is rapidly settling up, there are lew spots where the buagters have not penetrated, and the larger Wild animals are constantly driven from lace to place.
