'Tho rajah's palace IB in the icentcr of 'his onpkul. Jt < covers a great area , and the 'pal ace-guarded with'its'flowiiig ' rivers -of water , formed byffountalns s.purtmcr out of a .

His mnjcsti'iis mow tin Calcutta , but acraniro- monts had boon made for my visltand a note Irom the English secretary , Major Hondloy , gave ine u dark -skinned 'palace guide , -and I was shown through court after court of tnar- blo ana-.tnhon through-room 'iftor room 'fur nished with -rich Persian rcarpctBnnd with sittin-covorcd thnirs nnd dlvnus of JSnropt-an make. In ono p.ihico there was nn immense billiardiroom , undiintthls and the room no > jolnlng the skins of tigers nnd loapards.woro scattered about bv'tbo hundred. U'hov lav in great piles on the floor. Thov wore hung on the > \v nils , .nnd Borne of the divans wore U | > - holstorcd with them. I went tlirouch room nfterj-oomJillud with such skins , nnd I wns told that the .boasts . were all killed by the rajah , who is.vnry fond. of tiger huntine , und who is an excellent shot. I was shown the outside of the palace containing > the harem nnd the nrrang'jmonts Ser keeping it cool struck ino ns rather peculiar. 'Outside of the main hull nnd running nlong the length of the palace was a series of OIIUIT FANNISO MILTS not oinliko those .used bv the American farmer. Thcso were turned , by half-naked mon , nnd they thus kept jmmplng up drafts into the rooms beyond. 3 visited the r.ij all's stables and look a look nt his horses. There wns n court for pxcr- eiso which covered , 1 Judge , .something Hko ton ncros , and around this , was bull * , nn ar cade of stalls toofcd over with n thick , h navy .roof to keen alt the sun. There were nbout n half a niilo of those stalU. nud each of them wns occupied bv a flno-bloodod steed. Thnro were horses Iroai Arabla.from Europe , America nnd India , and the tying oS ouch was different from anything I hnvo over scon. There was a strap from tholr Imltcrj. whioh wan fastonudto rlncs just nbovc tholr heads , and each of their four foot had n sep arate rope which wns stretched out townrcls the founcorners inirflnt und behind them and tied ut u .distance . of perhaps six foot away to n post. The ropes were loose enough to permit them to move their loga up und down , but they could not Jtlck .nor stand on their hind logs. 1 .next visited the elephant .stables and took n look at Iho twelve great elephants which the rujah owns. Some of them are ns big us Jumbo. They have great bruss chains about tholr necks. Thnir tusks nro cut off about half wny up nnd they are bound With heavy brass rlncp. Ono of them us n sort of tattoo work onIts great ours nnd fore head niado In the pattern of a cashmere shawl , and thov nro altogether bigger than any uleiilmnta I saw in Slum or Dnrumh. At the invitation of the rajah's secretary I'took ' a ride yesterday .afternoon upon ono of 'them ' , I u anted to visit the ruins of the old palace and City of Amber , which is located in the hills nbout four miles from the city. An olo- .pliant was neot-fram the palace to the foot of i tbo hills [ in the morning , anil when I nrnvod shortly after noon I found it waiting for ma. It was.tlto biggrst of the , rnjah's ulaphants , the ono which had grout brass bound tusks and the L-oshmo.ro shawl pattern oars und forehead , nud upon its hoail there sat n Hindoo elephant dr.ivcr.la u bright turban nnd gown , "Ho hold a prod-Ilka Htoal hook in his hand and his b&ro , "brown less clasped the elephant's neck just back of the oars. Ho maao the elephant Itr.eol as our carriage drove upand a oocond servant tool : n step ladder from its side nnd Jcanins ; tils | ugaiust the breast , wo mounted un the wall like Bide i of the kuodling elephant nnd tool ; our scuts ' . on the cushioned saddle upon Its top. I Cautioning mo to hold onthe driver then gnvathe oloplmiit a thrust with uisjirod j und the great boast climbed to his feet and , started off in a swinging walk up the mountain - ! tain , 'The motion was u swaying one nud wowent nlong nt u round paoo , Boated us ( high up iu the nlr us though we wuio on the root of A village house. The servants who trotted along on the road bulow eemed very -far down nnd the motion nt first was n half sea sick ono. After a half mile I got used to it , however , and begun to "BNJOV TUB BTltANOBItlPB. From the top of the elephant I could eo ° the walls of the old .city of Amber , climbing the hillsides nud mvay up the mountains stood the deserted ruins of n fort covering many acres und apparently in AS good condi tion | iow us when it wns built ages .ago. Be low this was tbo mighty palace of Amber , overlooking n beautiful lake and surpassing in beauty uuy of the ruins of the llhine or the Danube , Al | along the load were the wild country scenes of native India. Hero the Jiionkoy * jumped from tree to tree and ut ouo tlmo a great louc-lalledapo hopped across the road just in front of the ulcphunt sotSHI tbo beast swerved , almost throwing mo from my teat. In BOUIO of the fields and woods I saw wild aieacaclu Aoroadlne tholr t'orceous tails out In ho rays nf.tho un , nnd Hlong thb slopes of the mountains below tlio great pal- nco I saw wild hog . The road was lined with hedges of cactus twelve fcot high In some places nlul nt the lake , nt the foot of the hill on whlrh the palnco is built , I saw n half-dozen great , black crocodiles sleeping in tho'SUrf. The travel along the rend was as curioun i ns the wlldmnlmnis of the country , nnd Wo I passed caniol nttor caniol nddon by men , boys nnd womon. IKhali not soon tforgctl the shabby trick which ono camel driver served us. The flies were very bad. Thov swarmed about the nlophont by .thousands , -persisted In attnOklng my 'oyos and.fabo when my hand's * ware both occupied , ono In holding on-nnuthoothar In try Ing to keep aft tho-Tnysof tho'sun.wlth nn umbrella.

You don't pay us as much for work as you payiraon. Skilled labor Is worth just so much , and If you acquire the skill and can turn ' out as much -work as a man .you "will got' ' just ns much pay for It. The .reason ilmt men are 'paid larpor " salaries for soiling dry goods Is because every store. must keep allow .mon , and these will not work lu a store for loss than they can mike in n shop. It .is the fault of women that mon are kept in stores. You know tbat.you prefer - for to bo waited on b.y 'gentleman ' when you go to buy a flress pattern ior a pair of slices. There arc plenty of good and true women who will not allow shop girls to wait on them. JSoro ia just the reason that mon have to "bo kept in stores , and they mU3t"be paid according to what tboir time is worth. Another reason is that girls 3o not take the interest in 'business that mon do. Nine out of every ton salesladies are such because they have to earn their livings , and they are sere about-it. 3f they were not compelled to ido it they wouldn't think of .engaging in such menial employment. You cannot expect any < ono , man or woman , to become proficient in a busi ness for which dy mvo no .liking. "Whenever women ] make their time moro valuable thnn it UH now they will got better salaries. ' "As it is there nro a dozen applicants for any vacancy oc curring in a store or school , which has n tendency to 'lower salaries. This is one of the laws of domestic economy , and it can novqrbo ) repealed. Scarcity of a product or af a class of laboriraisos the price , while1 a surplus Tcduces it. When baminas'nrq 'plenty you can buy them for 10 cents' a db/cn ; when scarce they cost 25 cents. The trouble with women seems to bo that they cannot'roalizo that tbo laws of trade or of 'domestic or political economy apply 'ToVphem . as they , do to men. In ino Busrnc"aswor'ltt , , a woman is a machine jugt 1hol sa'mo as a man , and she-will Lepaid accorSing to what hor.timc.ist worth to her. If women want to enter the business world , they must take an interest in business , study business methods , and observe the laws governing business. Those laws are as inexorable as the laws of iiatiu-a.and will .not change to suit the comfort or convenience either woman or man. Why don't women monopolize the millinery and dry goods business of the country ? There is no state or national law which prevents them from so doing. They can build or rent storqrooms , and manufacturers will not hesitate to sell them nil the goods tnpy want , providing they are reasonably certain that they will ( get paid for them. There ffco women with wealth enough to Btart in usinoBS with as fair jiroapootsiof .suc cess as the average man. Why don't they do it ? Simply because they proforliving on the income from their ononey rather than doing business. There is the secret of the whole truth. Those who are working for wages wouldn't do so if they were not compollnd to do it , and what work tl y do is done under protest. Such worlc is rarely well done. "Vita I'rottlmt Autrcns in I'nrls.
