Somebody wi lies about "A Woman's Veil' in
tho lloslou 0.t(fr; -nud here nro half a dozen of
his verses :
II was full many a seaBon since,
When I was summering tit Capo May,
They had a foolish fashion then
Mayhap they have tho unmo lo-day--Thnl
ovory lady In the dance,
If pleased with any, should not fall
I'nto tho pattucr she preferred
To glvo her veil.
And there was one 1 mind mo of,
Whoso name-well, nover mind her name i
Uclcn or Allco, Wanchc, or Maude,
To yon who rend will bo tho same.
Hut that old fa'ihlou of tho veils
Haply lecalls tho past, and stirs
Memotlis that cluster round tho night
She gave mo hers,
She flushed, poor child, In giving It,
And I, lo, foil my brow grow warm,
As liuuhingtyi with lingers dolt,
Sho knot let it about my arm
And thounh tho color on her chccl;
Was IlkH thoHght In morning skies,
I thought I saw a ko'.liil' dawn
Within her eyes,

AKAISIAN STOKIKS HOWXTHKXIIiE,
It is wonilcrful how much plcnsuro
Oriontuls manngo to fret out of n trum
pery tnlc. As you float tlown tho sa
cred river, for example, leaving Nubia
and tho cataracts, and tho reaches of
Syeno far behind, nnd pass Islets dozing
in tho lull of waters, green corn fields,
palmy slopes, shadowy dells, and
mounds with ruined temples which on
a sunny afternoon look like it lnndscapo
of Claude, you arc forovcr hearing tho
hum of llio story-teller to his p;roup on
tlio fore. As tho sun went down, tho
sailors would invariably snugglo to
gether in tho dusk, Abdallah having no
longer n scatt crcd or casual group of list
eners, and under tho dewy glimmer of
a lantern at tho mast, look nnd movo
liko spectres as thoy listen to somo ter
rible climax In tlio tratlltlounl story.
Liko opium, it seemed to sootho tho
nerves and tako off tho deadlier of in
dolence. Our dragomen onco translated
for us some of these talcs. Thoy were
not without point, and wcro thoroughly
characteristic of Eastern life. Fancy
tho story-teller, hemmed in by bare-
chested, open-mouthed, turbanod INton-
ers, as intoning and sco sawing, ho nar
rates n3 follows:
Onco upon a timo thcro lived on tho
edgo of tho deaort a Sheik named Ben
Achnia. Now this man was a philos
opher, who, gathering wisdom from
overy passing adversity, as a leech culls
simples, had como to possess quite a
loard of it. Ho was still in tho prldo
of manhood. His renown, however,
had waxr.d so great that oven old men
from iho neighboring tribes, dlhtant far
from us tho sunset oasis camo to sub
mit their quarrels to him and abldo by
hlii Judgment. Ouo day a caravan from
Meshid oueampod near his dwelling.
Two Arabs, watering their camols at
tho well, discoursed about tho wisdom
of tho Kadi or Meshid. "Ho can ropoat
tho Koran," said ono, "from thoFattha
to tho end without dropping a point."
Ho cuts through deceit as with a
knife," answered tho other.
Ben Achnia, smoking his afternoon
chlbouquo under the shadow of ti palm,
on hearing this nroso.
"Tell mu, O brother," said ho, "who
Is this man thou art so eager to praIo'."'
"What then, thou dolt V" replied the
camel driver. "Hast thou not heard of
Haleol, Kadi of Meshid ? Allah !-
Even tho Father of tho Faithful him
self la a green tree boforohlm."
"Dull!" rmitlcrcd the Sheik to him
self, a.s ho walked homo musing, "and
yot I am called Ben Achmu tho Wiso."
Next morning Bon Achnia saddled
his horso, and disguising himsolf a3 a
merchant, started for Meshid lo soo tho
sago himself. As ho Joumoyod, an old
man mot him on tho way who said :
"-My lord, I, liko thyself ttm traveling
to tho next town, but I am weary.
Pray permit mo to rldo." Ben Achma
mado a sign of absent, and tho pilgrim
climbed up behind. Whon thoy had
como to tho galea ol Meshid, tho Sholk
desired his companion to got dowu.
"Nuv." said he, "It Is for theo to
alight."
'And whereforoV" asked Ben Ach
ma.
"To leavo the hoiaowltli mo," re
plied the pilgrim.
"Bu ." ei ul the Shoik, "tlio norso
Umlno."
'I know," answered the old vaga
bond, "that woaro now lu tho city of
the Just Kudl, and that when ho shall
have set eyes on us two thou with thy
lusty limbs and bravo looks, aud mo
with my Irombllng knees and focblo
frame ho will dccldo In slmplo equity
that tho horso belongs to him who has
tho most need of him."
"If ho dccldo contrary to that which
Is truo and right," returned tho Sholk,
"ho Is not tho Just Kadi thou sayost
Novortholess, I will profit by tho evil
doing and Judgo his equity. Let us
plead beforo him." Tho old managrcod
and both started for tho court. They
had to wait while two cases took the
precedence. Tho first of theso boro
upon it quarrel beforo it butcher and
nn oil merchant. Both men woro In
court standing beforo thoKndl thoono
grlmy'wlth oil, tho other bespattored
with blood, Tho butcher said, "1 went
to buy oil at this kiuwo'rt shop, mid, in
order (o pay him, I pulled out a hand
fill of money whereof to tako it coin.
Tho sight of tho goltl moved his lust,
and lio BOlzcd my hand, pretending 1
had robbed him. I kept It closed, how
over, notwithstanding that In tho pres
ence of an oillcor holald his claim. And
hero H Is now." Tho oil merchant do
posed : "This rascal camo to buy oil,
and, when 1 filled his bottlo, 'Gaztcr,'
3ald ho to mo, 'can you change mo a
gold ploco?' I not suspecting him,
drew open my drawer, from which ho
clutched nhnndfiil nnd would have lied.
Tho monoy is mine. I ask but jus
tice." "Leavo tho money here," said tho
Kadi, "and como back to-morrow.
Tlio second caso was it disagreement
between n laborer and a Bchool-mnslor
touching a woman, Tho latter nlllrmcd
that tho great hulking rustic had run
r.way with his wife. Tho former de
clared that tho woman had been mar
ried lo him many n year. Tho Kadi
said, "loavo tho woman hero, and como
back to-morrow."
And now it canio lo the turn of Bon
Achma and Uuj ostuto oid pilgrim.
"My Lord Kadi," said the Sheik, "I
was on my way to your city when tills
miscreant came up and craved permis
sion to rido. In a moment of weakness
I assented, and now ho claims tho horso
upon the foregoing conclusion that you
will assign hfm to tho ono that needs
him moat."
Tho Kadi said, "Leavo tho horso and
como back lo-morrow."
So the gold was put In tho coffer, tho
woman in tho harem, and tho horso In
Iho Kadi's stables. Early ou tho mor
row tho litigants appeared. First tho
oil merchant and tho bulchor.
"You nfilrm," said tho Kadi to tho
former, "that tho butcher stolo tho mo
noy from your till, and yet tho coins,
when placed in n cup of water, show no
sign of oil. You n over handled tho mo
noy with your greasy fingers. Iadjudgo
tlio monoy to tho butcher, and thirty
stripes to you.'1
Tho disputed wifo now camo forward.
"Seeing," said tho Kadi, "that two
men lay claim to tho samo woman,
aud that neither can justify their claim,
I directed her to nrrango my desk. Sho
has cleaned and filled my ink-horn, nud
adjusted my spongo, sorted my peii3,
arranged my papers, and placed my
chair. Sho evidently belongs to tho
school master. Tho laborer will receivo
thirty stripes."
Now camo tho turn of Bon Achma
and tho pilgrim. "Mako theso men fol
low mo to tho stable," said tho Kadi.
They wcro taken in separately, Bon
Achma first. "Pick out tho horso you
claim," said his worship, "I havo
him hero," said tho Sholk, walking up
to a stall. "Good! go out and let the
Dsifrrim como "in." Do you recognize
your horso, my Iriunti r" "My nortu 1
VTes, I should know him among a
hundred!" said tho villain. "There
ho Is."
Tho magistrate returned, took his
place on tho divan, aud forthwith ad-
udged the horso to Bon Achma, whllo
the old man was condemned to suffer
fifty lashes, "May it ploaso your lord
ship," said tho Sheik, making a pro
found obeisanco after tho session, "upon
what did you baso your judgment of
tlio ownership of tho horso?" Tho
mnglstralo replied, "when you laid
your hand upon tho horso tho animal
neished in recognition to his friend,
but when tho pilgrim laid his hand
upon him, he shrank from tho touch of
a strangers."
During tho three weeks we woro iloat-
infr from Thob-M to Caho, every day
bro'!"!if ,oine now ibjoct of intorct
every niijht s-oinu droning story, to
which our swaith companions listened
with unabated attention. Ono nlgnt,
whon tho rim of the red sun had Just
disappeared bohlud tho western hills.
Abdallah began a story that seemed to
inchain unusual attention. I givo it a3
nearly ns possible, In our dragomah's
words,
"My friend's,' ' says tho slory-tellor,
I am about to rclafo a truo history.
In tho reign of Caliph llavouu al Has-
chid, of happy memory, lived in tho
city of Bagdad a celebrated barber of
tho namo of All Saknl. Ho was so fa
mous for a steady hand and doxterlty
that ho could shavo a head and trim a
beard blind-folded without drawing
blood. There was not n man of any
fushion in Bagdad who did not employ
him ; and such a run of business had
ho that ho bccAino proud nnd Insolent,
and would scarcoly over touch a head
whoso owner was not at least a Boy or
an Agha. Wood for fuol was always
se.ueo and dear at Bagdad, nud, a3 this
barber's shop consumed a great deal,
tho wood-cullers brought their loads to
him in proforonco, almost suro of meet
ing a ready salo. It happoncd ono day
that a poor wood cuttcr.nowin his busl
nos, and Ignorant of tho character of
Ali Saknl, wont lo tho shop and offered
him a load of wood ho had Just brought
into town ou his ass. All Immediately
offered a prlco, making uso of thC30
words, "for all tho wood that was upon
the ass." Tho wood cutter agreed,
unloaded his bcait, and asked for his
monoy.
"You havo not given mo all tho wood
yot," said tho harbor. "I must havo
tho pack-saddlo (which Is chlcllly mado
of wood) Into tho bargain, that was our
agreement."
"How!" said tho other Ingreataniazo
mcut, "who over hoard of such a bar
gain ? It 13 Impossible"
In short, after much altercation, tho
over-bearing harbor solzod tho pack
saddlo, wood and all, and sent away
tho peasant In great distress. Ho im
mediately ran to tho Kail I, stating his
grlof j but, bolng ono ot tins harbor's
customers, tho Kodl rofuscd to hoar tho
caso. Tho wood cutter thou applied to
a higher Judgo i ho also patronized All
Sakal, and mado light of tho complolnt
Tho poor man then applied to tho Mufti
himself, w'ho.hnvlng pondored tho quos
lion, said It whs too difficult a caso for
him to decide, no provision bolng mado
for It In tho Koran. Tho wood-cuttor
was not dlshcartoncd, but forthwith got
a -cilbo to wrltoa petition to tho Callpl
which ho duly pre-xmled on Friday, the
d.iv when Ills Highness went to tho

mosque- In iitato. Hiiroun nl llaschld's
punctuality in reading petitions Is well
known, and it was not long boforo tho
wood-cutter was called into his presence
When ho approached tho Caliph ho
kneeled and kissed the ground nnd then
placed his arms straight beforo him, his
hand covered with tho slcovo of his
tunic, and his feet close together, await
ed the decision.
"Filcnd," said the Caliph, "tho bar
bcr has words on his sldo, you havo
equity on yours. Tho law must bo de
fined by words, and agreements must
bo mado by words; tho former must
have Us course or It is nothing; nnd
agreements bo kept, or thoro would bo
no faith botwoon man and man ; but i"
Then calling tho wood-cuttor close to
hlm,lho Caliph whispered something
In his car, aud sent him away quito sat
isfied. Hero tho story-teller mado n
pause In his narrative, and holding up
a tin cup, said : "Now, friends, ir you
will glvo me something I will toll you
what thoCaliphsald to tho wood-cuttor."
'Iho piastres camo in rather plentifully.
Well, thou, continued ho, tho Caliph
whispered lo tho wood-cutler what to
do In order to got satisfaction from tho
barber. And what that was 1 will now
relate. Tho wood-cultcr having mado
his obeisance, returned lo his ass, which
was tied without, took It by tho halter,
anil proceeded to his home. A fow days
after ho applied to tho barber, as if
nothing had happened botweon them,
requesting that ho and a companion of
his from tho country might bo shaved.
Tho prlco at which both operations wero
lo bo performed was settled. Whon tho
wood-cuttor'a crown had been properly
shorn, All Sakal asked him whero his
companion was.
"Ho is just standing without hero,"
said tho other, "but ho shall como In,"
Accordingly ho went out, and re
turned, leading his ass after him by tho
halter.
"This is my companion," said ho,
"and you must shavo him."
"Shavo him 1" exclaimed tho barber,
in tho greatest surpriso : "It is enough
that I havo condescended to demean
myself by touching you and do you in
sult mo by asking mo to shavo your
boost ? Away with you, or I will thrash
you both." And forthwith ho drovo
thorn out of tho shop.
The wood-cuttor immediately wont
lo tho Caliph. '"Tiswcll," said tho
Commander of tho Faithful. '"Bring
All Sakal with his brushes and razors
instantly here," ho exclaimed to his
Vizier, and in tho coursoof ten minutes
tho barber stood boforo him.
"Why do you rofuso to shavo this
man's companion ?" asked tho Caliph,
"was not that your agreement?
All kls'Od llio ground and answered,
" 'Tis truo, O Caliph, that such was our
igrccment, nut wno over matio a com
panion of an ass beforo? Or who over
thought of heating an ass ag a true bo
Hover ?
You may say right j" roplicd tho
Caliph, "but who over thought of a
pack-saddlo being included In a load of
ood? No, no, it is a bargain, and
you must keep It. To tho ass Immedi
ately !"
The barber was then obliged to pro-
paro a great quantity of soap, lather tho
beast and shave him from head to foot.
Tho poor wood-cutter was then dismiss
ed, and all Bagdad celebrated tho jus-
tico of tho Commander of tho Faithful.
A rr.TENn of Dean Swift's ono day
sent him a turbot as a pro?out by a sor-
ant-lad, who had frequently been on
similar errands, but hadnovor received
anything from tho Dean for his troublo.
Having gained admission , ho opened
tho study door, and putting down tho
fish on tho floor, cried out, ruddy,
Master has sent you t turbot !"
"Young man," said the Doan, rising
from his easy chair, "is that tho way
you deliver a mossago V Let mo teach
you better manners. Sit down In tho
chair, wo will change places, aud I will
show you how to behave in future."
Tho boy sal down, and the Doan go
ing out, camo up to tho door, and mak
ing a low bow, said : "Sir, master pro
souls his kind compliments, hopes you
aro well, and requests your accoptauco
of a small present."
"Does ho?" roplicd the boy. "Roturn
him my host thanks, and there's half a
crown for yoursolf.''
Tho Dean thus caught In his own trap,
laughod heartily, und gavo tho boy a
crown for ready wit.
Thoro Is a good deal of dry humor
in tho Amorican press. Tho Sfollowlng
extract from tlio Louisvlllo Courier is a
gom in Its way : "Tho Now York Sun,

Tlio llrooldrn llililge.
A Now Yolk paper, spoaklng of tho
East lllvcr Brldgo, says that tho prea
suro of air in the caisson now building Is
thirty pounds to tho equaro Inch, or
twlco tho ordinary atmospheric pres
sure. Onco in tho lock and tho ontranco
closed, it besomes necessary to havo an
equal amount of pressure boforo tho door
Into tho caisson can bo opened. To this
ond air Is forced into tho lock until tho
right prcs3tiro is reached.
Between twenty and thirty men aro
at work in tho chambers. Tho lowest
point reached in the excavations is
within nlno foot of tho rock. Tho aver
ago depth of tho sand, however, la about
flftoon foot. Already bouldors of trap
rock aro found imbedded In tho quick
sand ; theso aro broken up and hoisted
out by means of an apparatus similar to
it drcdglng-machlno, working in a hugo
shaft filled with water. Tho men work
In relays or "watches," each "watch"
uimaiiiltig in (ho caisson for threo hours.
Working In that compressed utmo3
pher lias its disadvantages, and the
men complain of cramps sometimes,
which, judging from Iholr description,
mu3t bo very painful, as ouo of tho men
likened It to"lcarin' tho fleehfrom yer
leg." Tho low, dim-lighted chambers,
filled with mist, tho shining pools of
watci, and tho men tolling in tho nam
ing gas-light amid tho rushing,
rumbling nolso of tho sand syphons,
comblno to mako nn Interesting scono
not easily forgotten. "Try nud whistlo,"
suggested tho conductor of tho party,
and try they did, but without succesa.
Pucker their lips, and blow n3 hard as
they could, no sound approaching a
whistlo can bo produced. Tho voice,
too, had a straugo, unnatural sound, aa
though uttered In n high koy, all duo
to tho compressed atmosphere.
Tho interior of tho sides of tho cais
son slopes outward, not unllko tho Hps
of an enormous bell. In fact, tho work
lug of tho structure Is upon nearly tho
samo principlo as that of a diving-bell,
tho prcs3uro of tho air kcoplng out thd
water. When tho bed rock is reached,
and tho caisson fairly settled upon It,
tho interior will bo filled with concrete
and masonry.
Twenty courses of stono havo been
laid upon tho caisson, and tho work Is
being pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible At pro3ont tho work is somowhat
retarded for lack of stono, which can
not bo supplied fast onough. Tho
Company has expended $1!,200,000.
This includes tho amount paid for right
of way. They havo on hand material
amounting to nearly $300,000. Four
hundred thousand dollars has been ex
pended for lumber, and $120,000 for ma
chlencry. It Is worthy of remark that
tho Company having tho stono contract
offered $20,000 to bo released from their
contract. This offer tho Company de
clined, bclloving that thoy could not
mako such advantageous terms clso
whore. Doubts havo been expros3cd as to tho
stability of so huge a structure.. In re
gard to this point, tho superintendent
states that tho opinions of tho most dis-
tlugnished eugineors havo been sought
upon tho flubjcct,aud thoy fully indorao
tho plans. It has boon thought by somo
that it would bo necessary to build a
pier In tho middle of tho river. This
would bo impossible, from tho fact that
Congress would never permit 11, and
oven if it were built vessels would bo
constantly carried against It by tho
force ol the current and injured.and the
Company continually involved in suits
for damages. A wind traveling at the
ralo of sixty miles an hour, which is an
extreme case, would not away tho
brldgo, even at its great clovatiou. It is
expected that steam cars will run across
tho bridge at tho rato of twenty mllc3
an hour, Tho entiro cost of tho struc
ture, when completed, Is estimated at
$12,000,000. This i thought to bo an
oittaido figure.
Ostrich l'nrms.
The raising of tho ostrich In a tamo
stale, for lis feathors, is now carried on
oxlenslvoly in Africa. Tho birds aro
kept in inclosures, nnd fed on luccrno,
with which tho Inclosuro is planted.
Every eight months thoy nro plucked,
somo extracting tho quill at onco, and
others cutting tho quill allttlonbovolts
Insertion, aud then removing tho roots
a couplo of months latter. Tho latter
method is said lo givo better results
with less Injury to tho bird. Tho yield
Is obout fifty dollars per annum foreach
bird.
In breeding It is found to bo best to
allow ono femalo to each malo, though
lu tho wild stato five females aro often
attached to a slnglo malo. Thcro aro
usually two broods in a year, and tho

tho malo generally taking tho largest
sharo of this duty. Tho femalo takes
