An Unattractive Ruler.
“When I saw his highness the Sul-
tan of Sulu,” says J. Hogan In Every-
body's Magazine, “he was attired in
Mght-ftttlng. yellow-and-red striped
trousers, a jacket of red silk with
smaa white dots, black and white tur-
ban, and Chinese slippers. From his
right hand flashed a large diamond,
on his left he wore a beautiful pearl.
He had a squat nose, blackened teeth,
betel-red lips; he was not strong la
uncompromising savary, but merely
repulsive; a mixture of stupidity and
vlcicusness. Weakness and vacilla-
tion dominated his expression.’’
His Degree.
Dean Russell cf the Teachers’ col-
lege has had a new honorary degree
thrust upon him by a cockney serving
maid in his employ. She was show-
ing his gown to a visitor the other
day. Taking it down from the place

display all of its points, and exclaim-
ed. with the ring of intense pride ip
her tones:
