The Moor in Town.
Cloaked and turbaned, they glide ahout
in slippered feet, the women shod in red,
the men in bright yellow. But for their
exceedingly substantial build, the Moorish
women in the street might pass for ghosts,
for their costume is, with this one excep-
tion, white. A long and heavy blanket of
coarse homespun effectually conceals every
feature but the eyes, which are touched up
with antimony on the lids, and, as a rule,
are sufficiently expressive. Sometimes a
wide-brimmed straw hat, its edges support-
ed by adjustable cords from the crown, is
jauntily clapped on : but here ends the
plate of Moorish out-door fashions. In-
doors all is color, light, and glitter.
Where cash is plentiful nothing is spared
to make the home a paradise—in Muslim
eyes ; yet all is forbidden to male out-
siders. But in matters of color and flow-
ing robes the men are not far behind, and
they make up abroad for any lack at home.
I think no garment is more artistic and no
drapery more graceful than that in which
the wealthy Moor takes his daily airing,
either on foot or muleback. Beneath a
gauzelike woolen toga—relic of ancient art
—glimpses of luscious hues are caught—
crimson and purple, deep greens and ‘‘after-
noon sun color,’ salmons and pale clear
blues. A dark blue cloak, when it is cold,
negligently but gracefully thrown across
the shoulders, or a blue-green prayer-car-
pet folded beneath the arm, helps to set off
the whole.
Side by side by this picture of ease and
comfort, cheek by jowl, wanders the tat-
tered negro whose eyes have been put out
—a punishment now very rare. His sight-
less orbs follow appealingly the guidance
of a little child, as one after another of the
passers-by is importuned in vain. ‘May
God bring it’’—the alms—is a refusal far
more conclusive than an excuse or nega-
tive, and the appeal is made to another.
The narrow winding streets, ill-paved, and
ofttimes ankle-deep in mud, are crowded
with men and beasts ; the ever-changing
scene is a kaleidoscope of Eastern fancy :
Ali Baba and the Forty thieves, Bluebeard,
Aladdin, and the Grand Vizier all pass the
corner in succession. Donkeys bearing
loaded paniers of garden produce or rub-
bish are followed by stately officials on bar-
relbodied mules, and in the coast towns a
good sprinkling of European costumes,
worn by foreigners and Jews, add fresh
variety.
Chez lui-our friend with the flowing gar-
ments is a king, with slaves to wait upon
him, wives to obey him, and servants to
fear his wrath. His every-day reception-
room is the lobby of his stables, where he
sits behind the door in rather shabby gar-
ments attending to business matters, unless
he is a merchant or shopkeeper, when his
store serves as an office instead. Those
whom he wishes to honer are asked inside
the house, after the order has been shouted
‘“‘make a road.”
pausing to allow this to he accomplished, a
scuffle of feet is heard, and a moment after
the deserted court is entered, with no re-
minder of its recent occupants but the
swing of the curtain in the doorway, where
a dainty finger holds it back to feed inher-
ent curiosity. Dinner may then by served
or the traditional three glasses of tea, but
only a slave lass or two will be seen, as
they silently do the serving, after respect-
fully kissing the hands of the guests. No,
the Moor has no home life—no family
unity—not half so much as the Arab or
Berber in tent or hut. It is seldom that
the wife eats with the husband, and the
children with the father never. Lust reigns
supreme in the lives of both sexes, and no
other relationships than it allows between
them are dreamed of. Morals in practice.
they have none, though their theories are
perfect enough to deceive many into think-
ing Islam a model system. The grand idea
of their lives is to live like beasts in this
world, and to trust to Mohammed and
good deeds to secure their admission to a
hereafter where all sins shall be lawful.
Of intellectual pleasures, occupations
which should raise their social tone and
feed the mind, the Moors know nothing.
What study some few of them do is so be-
wildering in its complexity and uselessness
that they gain little by it, and reading for
information’s sake is rare. Their evenings
thus hang heavily, and if not passed in a
state of lethergy from overeating, idle 'gos-
sip is their only amusement. Chess and
draughts are sometimes seen, but are not
general. In business the Moor is keen and
parsimonious, though, as results show, a
poor match for the sons of Israel, who
swarm on every hand. At first suspizious,
if well treated he treats well, and becomes
a steady if perhaps self-seeking friend.—

End of Century Events.
Remarkable events seem to attend the
closing years of the centuries of modern
times. To mention only afew : In 1492
America was discovered: Toward the close
of the next century, in 1588, occurred the
great victory of Elizabeth’s fleet over the
Spanish armada, a victory that gave Eng-
land the naval supremacy which she has
maintained to this day.
In the next century the American revo-
lution began in 1776. It was followed by
the first outbreaks of revolution in France
in 1789. Following these, brought to the
surface by them, came the exploits of Nap-
oleon. Just 100 years ago this June,
Napoleon was plundering and ruining Italy
despoiling her of her choisest art works,
desecrating her churches and harrying and
humiliating Pope Pius VI. It is not much
wonder Italy not love France. To
this day the guides in Rome show visitors
the ruin wrought in oneof the most beau-
tiful churches by Napoleon’s cavalry hor-
ses that were stabled there. Yet some
people make a demigod of Napoleon Bona-
parte.
The closing years of our own century
witness the rise of Japan to be one of the
great powers of the earth. They witness
also a revolution quieter but farther reach-
ing than any wrought by war. It is a
moral revolution, reaching down to the
very roots of systems heretofore believed to
be infallible. It is a revolution in men’s
minds, changing the esonomie, social, in-
dustrial and political relations of mankind.
It is none the less tremendous because it is
quiet. Coming centuries will look back to
the closing years of the nineteenth century |
as a period that marked the beginning of
stupendous changes for the race.

Jas. G. Blaine's Silver Speech.
| Argument of the Man from Maine in Favor of the
Constitution's Money.
The WATCHMAN has many readers who
were admirers of the late JAMES G.
BLAINE, the greatest statesman the Repub-
lican party ever had written in its ranks.
To some there is no such convincing argu-
ment as the words of a man who is admired
and, with the hop€ of winning a few to the
great cause of free silver, we publiah ex-
tracts from Mr. Blaine’s speech, made in
the Senate, Feb. 7th, 1878, when the great
debate for the recoinage of silver was on.
“Mr. President—The discussion on the
question of remonitizing silver has heen
prolonged and exhaustive. T may not ex-
pect to add much to its value, but I prom-
ise not to add much to its length. I shall
endeavor to consider facts rather than theo-
ries, to state conclusions rather than argu-
ments.
“I believe gold and silver coin to be the
money of the constitution—indeed, the
money of the American people anterior to
the constitution, money which the organic
law of the republic recognized as indepen-
dent of its own existence. No power was
conferred on congress to declare that either
metal should not be money. Congress has,
therefore, in my judgement, no more pow-
er to demonetize silver than to demonetize
gold : no more power to demonetize either
than to demonetize both. In this state-
ment I am but repeating the weighty dic-
tum of the first of constitutional lawyers,
‘T am certainly of the opinion,” said Mr.
Webster, ‘that gold and silver, at fixed.
rates by congress, constitute the legal stan-
dard of value in this country, and that
neither congress nor any state has author-
ity to establish any other standard or to
displace this standard.” Few persons can
be found, I apprehend, who will maintain
that congress-possesses the power todemon-
etize both gold and silver, or that congress
could be justified in prohibiting the coin-
age of both : and yet in logic and legal
construction it would be difficult to show
where and why the power of congress over
silver is greater than over gold—greater
over either than over both. If, therefore,
silver has been demonetized, I am in favor
of remonetizing it. If its coinage has been
prohibited, I am in favor of ordering it to
be resumed. If it has heen restricted, I
am in favor of ordering it to be enlarged.
* * *
On “the much-vexed question of a
birhetallic standard, my own views are
sufficiently indicated in the remarks I have
made. I believe the struggle now going on
in this country, and in other countries, for
a single gold standard, would, if successful,
produce disaster in the end throughout the
commercial world. The destruction of sil-
ver as money, and the establishment of
gold as the sole unit of value, must have a
a ruinous effect upon all forms of property
except those investments which yield a
a fixed return in money. These would
be enormously enchanced in value, and
fore unfair, advantage over every other spe-
cies of property. If, as the most reliable
statistics affirm, there are nearly seven
thousand millions of coin or bullion in the
world, not very unequally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible to strike
out of existence as money without results
which will prove distressing to millions,
and utterly disastrous to tens of thousands.
Alexander Hamilton, in his able and in-
valuable report in 1791 on the establish-
ment of a mint, declared that ‘to annul
the use of either gold or silver as money is
to abridge the quantity of circulating me-
dium, and is liable to all the objections
which arise from a comparison of the bene-
fits of a full circulation with the evils of a
scanty circulation.” I take norisk in say-
ing that the benefits of a full circulation,.
and the evils of a scanty circulation, are
both immeasurably greater to-day than
they were when Mr. Hamilton uttered
these weighty words, always provided that
the circulation is one of actual money, and
not of depreciated ‘promises to pay.’
“In the report from which I have already
quoted, Mr. Hamilton argues at length
in favor of a double standard‘ and all the
subsequent experience of ninety years has
brought out no clearer statement of the
case, or developed a more complete compre-
hension of this subtle and difficult subject.
‘On the whole’ says Mr. Hamilton, ‘it
‘seems most advisable not to attach the unit
exclusively to either of the metals, be-
cause this cannot be done effectually with-
out destroying the office and character of
them as money, and reducing it to the sit-
uation of mere merchandise.” Mr. Hamil-
ton wisely concludes that this reduction of
either of the metals to mere merchandise
(I again quote his exact words) ‘would prob-
ably be a greater evil than occasional var-
iations in the unit from the fluctuations in
the relative value of the metals, especially
if care be taken to regulate the proportion
between them, with an eye to their average
commercial value.” Ido not think that
this country. holding so vast a proportion
of the world’s supply of silver in its moun-
tains and its mines, can afford to reduce
the metal to the ‘situation of merchandise.’
If silver ceases to be used as money in Eu-
rope and America, the mines of the Pacific
slope will be closed and dead. Mining enter-
prises of the gigantic scale existing in this
country cannot be carried on to provide
backs for mirrors, and to manufacture
cream pitchers and sugar-bowls. A source
of incalculable wealth to this entire country
is destroyed the moment silver is perman-
ently disused as money. It is for us to
check that tendency and bring the conti-
nent of Europe back to the full recognition
of the value of the metal as a medium of
exchange.

Midsummer Drinks.
Which are Cool and Wholesome and May be Made at
Home.
SARSAPARILLA MEAD.
Take three pounds of sugar, three ounces
of tartaric acid, one ounce each of cream of
tartar, flour and essence of sarsaparilla and
three quarts of water. Strain and bottle
it ; then let it stand ten days before using.
RASPBERRY VINEGAR.
Mash two quarts of raspberries in an
earthen vessel ; put them in a large stone
bottle or jar, and pour over them two
quarts of good vinegar. Cork the jar
slightly and let the juice distill in the sun
two or three weeks ; then filter clear and
bottle it, corking it well.
OAT MEAL DRINKS.
First put into a large pan a quarter of a
pound of fine fresh oat meal, six ounces of
white sugar and half a lemon cut into small
pieces. Mix with a ‘little warm water ;
then pour over it one gallon of boiling
water, stirring all together thoroughly, and
use when cold. This makes a most re-
freshing and strengthening drink. If pre-
ferred raspberry vinegar, citric acid or any
other flavoring may be used instead of the
lemon. More oat meal may he used if
preferred.
LEMONADE SYRUP.
With one pound of sugar mix the grated
yellow rind of six lemons, moisten the
sugar with as much water as it will absorb
and boil it to a clear syrup. Add the juice
of twelve lemons, stirring it in well over
the fire, but do®iot let it boil after the
juice is added. Bottle the syrup at once
and cork it when cold. Mix a little of this
syrup with cold water when lemonade is
wanted.
RASPBERRRY VINEGAR WITH SUGAR.
Mash the fruit in an earthen bowl. To
every pound of raspberries add a pint of
vinegar ; cover and let it stand two or
three days. Then press it through a jelly
hag. To every pint add half a pound of
loaf sugar and set the juice on the fire to
come to a boil, taking off any scum that
rises. Allow five minutes’ gentle boiling,
set it to get cool, then pour into small
bottles and cork well.
CURRANT VINEGAR.
A fine vinegar may be made from ecur-
rants by simply pressing the fruit to a
mash, let it stand over night, then strain
the juice off clear and fill the bottles to the
brim. Set them, uncorked, in the sun or
in a warm place until fermentation ceases.
Any little impurity that rises skim off with
a piece of blotting paper, and cork the hot-
tles well. White currants are excellent
for a delicate, pale vinegar.
A teaspoonful of these vinegars or of the
lemonade syrup will often be relished in
the iced tea, which forms such a popular
drink for the summer luncheon, and will
give a pleasant change from the flavor of
the usual slice of lemon.
Reduced Rates to the Seashore.
Extremely Low-Rate Excursions via Pennsylvania
Railroad.
Every one, old and young, needs rest
and recreation at some time during the
heated summer term, and where can it be
obtained better than at the seashore.
No other place can compare with South-
ern New Jersey in seaside resorts, either in
point of number or of excellence. Atlantic
City is the most popular resort in America,
and Cape May, Sea Isle City, Ocean City,
Avalon, Anglesea, Wildwood, and Holly
Beach do not fall far short of Atlantic
City’s high standard.
The Pennsylvania railroad company,
whose object always is to give its patrons
the cheapest rates compatible with good
service, has arranged for excursions to the
seashore from Erie, Fassett, Dauphin, and
intérmediate stations (including stations
branch roads), August 6th and 20th.
Excursion tickets, good for 10 days, will
be sold at extremely low-rates.
Passengers may, if they so desire, go to
Atlantic City via the Delaware river bridge |
route, the only all-rail line from points in
Pennsylvania to Atlantic City.
For information in regard to rates, time
of trains, etc., consult small bills or apply
to nearest ticket agent.
——A high-up physician here who has
studied seasickness is authority for the
statement that bromide of sodium will
make life on the old ocean quite pleasant.
He says : “I began three days before sail-
ing to prepare for a preventive of an attack
of seasickness. I took 100 grains of bro-
mide in divided doses each day for three
days before I started and kept up the treat-
ment:{our days after sailing. I was not
sick at all in crossing the Atlantic. I ex-
perienced no ill-effects whatever from the
use of the medicine.’’ A thorough bromi-
sation, according to the doctor. will enable
all voyagers to overcome the distressing ill-
ness caused by the rocking and the rolling
on the bosom of the broad Atlantic or the
choppy swells of the English Channel.
——To the doubting, who are afraid we
would have a fifty four-cent dollar in the
event that silver is remonetized, we mere-
ly want to state thatin 1873, the time it
was demonetized, the amount of silver that
is now in a dollar was worth 103 cents.
When' the Government again recognizes
silver as part of the ‘‘coin,’” it was designed
by the Constitution to be, gold will seek
its natural level and there will be no more
premiums for the Shylocks of Wall street.
——Weak and nervous describes the con-
dition of thousands of people at this season.
They have no appetite, cannot sleep, and
complain of the prostrating effect of warm-
er weather. This condition may be rem-
edied by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which creates
an appetite and tones up, all the organs.
It gives good health by making the blood
ure.
Hood’s pills are the best after-dinner
pills, assist digestion, cure headache.

try for a gold standard and is successful, it
will cause disaster throughout the com-

mild tonic or gentle stimulant, especially

of the iron in the soil. It is used by the
most eminent physicians and in hospitals
as the best tonic wine known. Speer’s
claret is also the purest.

Bird Day in the Schools.
Mr. C. A. Babcock is superintendent of
the public schools of Oil City, Pa. Some
years aga this estimable gentleman began
the systematic instruction of his pupils in
ornithology. It is not so much the hones
and the angtomy and Latin names of - the
birds he tgtight the young ones as the nec-
essity of sparing them, that they might ful-
fill their 1yission of being useful and orna-
mental. e professor showed the young
ones how beautiful the birds were. He
caused them to listen to the music of the
feathered songsters. He taught them, too,
how much good the little creatures do to
man in destroying grubs and insects injur-
ious to fruit and crops. Finally he taught
them the murderous cruelty of robhing
birds’ nests and cutting off so many bright
and innocent little lives.
Professor Babcock instituted a “‘hird
day’’ in the schools for the purpose of cele-
brating the beauty and use of man’s feath-
ered friends. It wasa great success, and
bird day came to be as important and fes-
tive an occasion as Arbor day. One may
venture to hope, however, that the good
professor excluded the pestiferous British
sparrow from the protection he taught the
children to extend to other birds. This
ugly little brute drives away the bright
colored, musical, native American birds.
Besides that he destroys thousands of bush-
els of grain and fruit for the farmers every
year. He defiles houses, barns, trees,
shrubbery and vines. The cup of his ini-
quity is full. If Professor Babcock has not
already done so, we beg him to rule this
wretch out of the plan of bird protection.
The work done in the Oil City schools
was 80 good that it attracted the notice of
the United States agricultural department.
Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Mor-
ton has set the stamp of his approval on
bird day and written a letter recommend-
ing its observance in all the schools of the
Union.
Let us have a bird day by all means.
The moral, musical, affectionate, artistic
and scientific instincts of the human biped
will all be cuitivated at once by its ohser-
vance. Best of all, American birds and
their music will increase rapidly in the
country and village. It is astonishing
though the world is so many thousand
years old, how little is known of birds. Dr.
Bowdler Sharpe, a British authority, says
mankind do not even have accurate know-
ledge of the migration of birds. So let us
have bird day. Maybe grown people can
learn something from"it too.

MAKES A PUBLIC STATEMENT ON A SUB-

Mr B. Steel who is now selling
books may never occupy the presi-
dential chair. He may never as-
ire to be Mayor of Bellefonte but
Ek is none the less an honest em-
ploye, none the less active. and
none the less intelligent. No one

not an authority on lumber and
every one after reading his state-
ment must come to the conclusion
that his opinion of the old Quaker
remedy is backed up by positive
personal experience. Read his
statement carefully. “I, like a
reat many other people went to
. Potts Green's drug store and
rocured a box of Doan’s Kidney
ills for my back. Ihad very little
faith in their virtue for nowadays
advertisers will do anything and
say anything to get their mixtures
on the market. et in spite
of the feeling, I tried them. In
fact I had to try something. I was
struck in the back eight or nine
ini ago while Jo)ping 15 build a
ouse for a cousin. Ever since
then I have had trouble with my
back, not continually but at inter-
vals, italways seemed to pass away
of its own accord and return just
as mysteriously. A cold some-
times caused a recurrence and this
may have been at the bottom of the
last attack. The trouble was cen-
tered in the right kidney and I
could feel the shape of it, as I im-
agined I could from the soreness.
I could press it with my thumb and
it would cause increased pain.
When my back was at its worst I
was troubled with urinary trouble
that lasted three or four weeks.
Well, Doan’s Kidney Pills helped
me from the start. must confess
they relieved me in such a short
time that it surprised me to find
them act so quickly. You are at
liberty to make these facts
known.”
