The person entering Liliuokalani’s presence with any preconceived idea of a swarthy and savage island queen finds himself tremendously mistaken. csty, :1. woman of medium height, the outlines of whose figure are only Si g- gested under. the gown. which is fre- quently the adaptation of the flowing island robe to our “princesse” form. This gown is perhaps of black velvet with vertical lines of jet, a long scarf of fine black threads lace crossing the shoulders and tied loosely half way to the knees, the only ornament 3. Ma- sonic jewel once conferred upon her. On another day the dress will be all of white, ' and equally beautiful. The straight black hair is dressed fashion- ably, crowned with a small gold comb. . 2! She uses a quaint fan made of thé wings of some island bird. The Queen offeis you her hand, which is very1 small, beautifully shaped, the brown' tint contrasting with the diamonds that glitter on it, and in 3 voice like music, low and dear, but penetrating. the sw eetest voice I ever heard from a woman she asks you to be seated. The face that looks at you with a calm, confident air, is very pleasing. dark, with irregular features, its ex- pression eminently sweet, the smile most lovely, and thelarge, liquid eyes, at once soft and brilliant, are very beautiful. She addresses you in per- fect English, and her conversation is interesting and entertaining, but .it does not touch upon personal matters ‘ nor upon afiairs of state. If Victoria,.with her, lesser stature, is always the Queen, Biliuokalani, much taller, with an exceedingly. state- ly carliage of the head, is never less than the Queen, While her manner is most gracious and gentle. If one saw her in royal robes, or in a long, White cymar, with a golden circlet on her head, she would hardly seem more queenly than she does in her simple , Paiis gown. “Who is that very royal- looking lady?" asked a stranger on the train in which she came to Washing- ton. And indeed there are few, if any. women on thrones today who are as entirely royal in descent as Liliuoka— lani is; she has in, her veins no other blood than the‘ blood of kings—Han- riet Prescott Spofford. “How did you celebrate yure tin weddin’, Moike?” “Rushed the can, ave coorse.”—Phil- adclphia North American. the CZar‘s study. SALOON FOR" BIGYCLE GIRLS.- A‘- 111a‘c'e' Where they rim Their :re‘a on the Rod 'and‘. 'Act Like Mon. . 1 “The Sergeant’s,” in 'big, bold black letters, over the door of alittle build- ing at 287 Pennsylvania avenue north- west, is the somewhat unusual sign which has attracted attention. A peep through the open doors at the in- terior, which is fitted up with a hand- some oak bar, with’the usual amount of looking-glass ahd shelves full of bot- 'tles, would strengthen the first impres- sion, but for the fact'that almost at any time in the day' trim young ladies in bicycle costumes may be seen. their dainty feet resting on the rod in front ofthe bar, holding a glass full ‘ of sparkling liquid, and gazing at their reflections in the bevelled mirror. The place is unique in every respect. It is asaloon in reality, and fitted up just as the a v1e1age saloon is fitted up, but it his a temperance saloon. The p10- prietor is James H. McC-hesney, who was formerly a sergeant in the regular army. it is the only saloon in the United States, he says, which is con- ducted" as a saloon and yet at which only temperance drinks are sold. He decided that there was a‘ certain fasci- nation about a saloon which had as much charm for the average young man as the liquor he drank. In the barroom there is a small side table on which a free lunch is served to the patrons of the house, and in the rear room are small tables at which summer drinks are served. A Space has been left for a pool and billiard ta- ble which will be put in in a few days. Coffee and milk are served to those who piei'er them to soda o1- mineral wate11s.-—W’ashington Post. SHE SAVED THEEM’PEROR'S LIFE. Twice the Empress was Instrumental in Protecting Her Husband. Few people are aware that the Dow- ager-Empress of Russia saved her hus— band’s life on two occasions. One 'day, when in the Emperor’s dressing room, she observed that on his dress- ing-table lay a curious-looking little jewel case; something aboutits appear- ance aroused her curiosity, and, tak— ing it up, she became aware that it was extremely heavy. W’ithout say- ing a word she went into her room, and placed it carefully in a basin of water, then sending for the Prefect of Police, whose duties kept him much about the place, she begged him to have it examined, and it was discov- ered to be one of the most marvellous infernal machines ever invented by Eihe ingenuity of man. The second oc- casion on which the Empress was di- rectly instrumental in stopping murder occurred in the Winter Palace, when she heard a slight noise which indi- cated the presence of some stranger in Without betraying the slightest anxiety, she begged her husband to come andspeak to one of. ‘ the children. He did so. She locked the door and only gave up the key .to they enteied the apartment, that some- out1 had just escaped through the win. don .. PENNY MACHINES.
