Orknejr and the brcadl
The people of Orkney, and especially
of Kirkwall, are almost a race to them,
elves, morally, H not physically. They
are peculiarly radical Id their notions,
and think the world should be governed
on the principles or equality and fratern
ity. In many of the shops the air they
assume seems to Intimate that they
confer an honor upon you by serving
you. A gentleman living near Kirk
wall had occasion to ask several ques
tions of the Postmaster, and received a
reply intimating in polite terms that he
was to mind his own business. As it
happened to be his business, as much
as it was the Postmaster's duty to give
the required Information, the gentle
man in question referred the matter to
the chief office in Scotland, and the
Postmaster was brought to his senses.
But this peculiar condescension, this
Idea of equality, was very much more
apparent in Shetland. There it became
occasionally offensive; in Orkney, never.
And there is an element in the Orcadian
sbopkeeiers, as in the Scotch, that is
generally lacking further southward.
Everyone among tnem seems to be a
gentleman in his own way, and after
his owu fashion. Many of them would
not be out of place in any society in
which they might And themselves.
There is an absence of vulgarity about
tliem; of that element which grates
upon the refined senses of more ethereal
mortals. All have received some educa
tion, many an advanced one; and they
all know how to speak their own lan.
guage. The greatest kindness I received
in the town of Kirkwall was from a
shopkeeper; a man who was in every
sense a gentleman; a member of the
Autiquartan Society, who lent me curl
ous old books connected with the
inlands, .ud showed me every possible
attention in pointing out every object
of interest, and in making me acquainted
with the place. On the other hand, one
of the chief magnates of the town, hear.
ing that I was staying at the hotel, sent
a message through the medium of a
third person that he should be happy if
1 would call toseehim; but neglected the
courtesy of first calling upon a stranger.
The loss of this acquaintance was mine
undoubtedly. The aspect of the whole
town of Kirkwall is dreary and uielan
choly in the extreme. Many of the
houses are very old, and their gable
ends lace the street after the Danish
fashion. This is the distinction between
the old and the new houses. The gables
of the old hu?es face the road, the new
ones are at the side. The houses are
most of them ugly and ill-looking. You
see a plain, very unadorned looking
tenement, and are suprised to hear that
it is iohabited by one of the chief peo
pie of the UUud. Poverty-stricken as
the outside may look to a Londoner, the
Iniide is made warm and comfortable,
The ioorer class use peat for fuel. M uch
of the land is good for nothing else
though every year sees an improvement
in the drainage and cultivation of the
Islands. This peat smell goes out into
the air with delicious incense. In the
interior of the huts scattered over the
islands it becomes too strong to be
pleasant. Very frequently the smoke
has to find its way out in the same way
that the people find their way in by
the door. Yet, desolate as the huts are
to look at, except among the poorest
and lowest, thfy are comfortable and
quaint in their interiors. In the town
of Kirkwall itself coal is more fre
quently used than peat. But the coal
is not a very cheap commodity, as it all
has to be brought by boat. Thus there
is less smell of peat in the town than a8
you pass a cottage on a country road.
The one street of Kirkwall, which
forms, as it were, two sides of a tri
angle, is narrow and ill-paved. Opposite
the cathedral it opens out, and here
comes the only little bit of cheerfulness
that exits in the town. In front of this
noble edifice, which would be an orna
ment to any town in the world, rising
on a gentle eminence, and surrounded
by grave-stones which perhaps add
nothing to its beauty, you forget your
self for the moment. You are carried
back In spirit to the days of the Norse
men and the Sea Kings, to the Jarls of
Orkney who held sway for so many
centuries; to Magnus of Norway and
Ronald, to Sigurd the first Jarl or Earl;
to Magnus the martyr, whose heart is
inclosed in one of the pillars of the
choir; and to that Konald who first
founded the cathedral and dedicated it
to his martyred uncle. You trace the
two styles of architecture the Norman
and the early English and are some
what puzzled at the manner in which
they seem to be interlaced. You come
down in imagination to the time of
Bishop Reid, who added the four most
westerly pillars, and you gaze in ad
miration at the beautiful west doorway,
Turning upward you pass on to the
ruins of the Earl's and the Bishop's
palaces, ruins which ought to have been
so much better prized and preserved
than they are. You bemoan the bad
taste which has just built a law-court
or town-ball in closest proximity to
these ruins, when acres of land hard by
might be bad almost for the ask.g.
But it is much to be feared that the
Orcadians, though in advance of the
Dutch In the art of trying, are like the
Dutch In their passion for thrift. And
when thrift becomes a passion, it baa to
be distinguished bv . another name,
Every landed proprietor, small or great,
in Orknev or Shetland is styled a
" "laird," and a laird's son the "young
laird." This, to English ears, sounds
somewhat comical and pretentious; and
if a "young laird" were to go to Eton,
and received one kick for himself and
one for the "old laird," he would proba
bly return to his possessions with less
exalted notions of the importance of his
"lairdship." It must, however, in
justice be stated that the title is thought
more of by newcomers and latter day
folk than by those who, like the fine
old Udaller in Scott's Pirate have, by
centuries of possession, become small
nionarchs among the people.

The bread on the waters has returned
to a young lady in Clappertown, Pa.,
after a few years. On December 23,
1873, she met, on a railroad train, a lady
who was very III, and kindly minis
tered unto her, taking care of her and
aucompanying her to her place of des
tination. When they parted, the sick
woman offered to reward the young
lady for her kindlier ss and attention,
but she would take nothing. The old
woman wrote down the name and ad
dress, nodded familiarly to her, and
aaid, "You will be paid some day.'
The young lady never saw her chance
acquaintance again, but the sum of
$90,000 haa recently been bequeathed
to her. The old woman had no relatives
in this country, and lert all her money
to the girl who bad befriended her.
AGRICULTURE.
What SriAbE Tries to I "Last.
There is great satisfaction in knowing
what selection of shade-trees tbosa who
are competent to Judge would make for
road or lawn planting. Just such in
formation is now before the public, and
it will prove of very great value to
those who intend to beautify their road
sides or private grounds. The Park
Commission of Washington, D. C,
comiiosed of three men of high standing
in horticultural circles, nave planted
miles of street-trees, numbering about
forty thousand. The bulk of these are
made up of twelve varieties, and are
named herewith in the order In which
the commission valued them for the
purpose: White maple (acer dancer
I'vm), American linden (Tilia Ameri
cana), American elm ( L'lmut Americana),
scarlet maple (Acer rubrum), box elder
(Stiptndo aetroide), sugar maple (Acer
taccharinum), American white ash
(Fraxtnu Americana), English sycamore
(Acer pseudoplatanut), button-ball (Pla-
tanu ortenUila), tulip-tree (Linodendron
tuliffera), honey locust ( GUd ittchia tria
canlltot), Norway maple (Acer pluta
noidet. This is an excellent assortment to se
lect from for road-side planting. Each
variety here nan.ed when full grown
assumes handsome proportions, and
moot of them have brilliant and attrac
tive ioliagein the fall. In planting
shade-trees along the road-side, espe
cially in a clay country, they should be
set at least tilty leet apart, lor it closer
there will be too much shade, and Lad,
wet roads in the spring are sure to fol
low. This close planting should be
also strenuously avoided in decora
ting private grounds. Any system that
excludes the tree access of sun and air
from the dwelling house is pernicious.
Go wherever one may he will find this
laulty system of close planting in vogue
and in eight cases out of ten there are
two trees or shrubs on a space where
one would have been enough. The plea
for this is a desire for immediate enect.
The remedy is to cut down in time
every other tree. This last is seldom,
if ever, carried out.
Plastek for Vises. I have a large
quantity of grape vines planted in the
open ground, and trained on poles and
wires along the gravel walks. In plant
ing these I had the holes dug about
twenty-five inches deep. 1 then threw
into each hole five or six lumps of old
plaster, about the size of my fist. I
then threw a little dirt over these lumps
and planted the vines in the usual way.
The result has been wonderful; the
vines wuich were not half an inch
thick when planted three years ago, are
now two inches aud more in diameter,
and bear finely. The grapes are also
free from disease. Other vines, not so
treated, are much smaller and produce
less, the fruit beini; also more liable to
disease. To try the effect of this plas
ter In planting two American black
walnuts, we put plaster to the oue aud
not to the other. The former grew
twice as fast as the latter. Last year
we dug about the roots of the one to
which tio plaster was put, and threw in
seven or eight large lumps of plaster
among the roots; the trees are now both
of the same size, and though only four
years old, are sixteen or seventeen leet
high.
The peach tree requires peculiar man
azenieut to make it bear good fruit and
live to a good old age. At a recent
meeting of the Western Sew lork
Horticultural Society, Mr. Ualgrove
made a good recommendation when be
advised that the peach tree be subjected
to a severe cutting back once in four
years. He said that if the tree be cut
back moderately each year when it is
young, it fills the centre with a great
quantity of small, weak branches,
which are good for nothing and soon
die out, and this course persisted in,
causes the tree to die very young. On
the contrary, if allowed to grow and
bear fruit about four years, and then
subjected to a severe cutting, the new
head comes back iu a compact form, and
bears weil, and the tree thus treated be
comes as long lived as most other fruit
trees. The year of the cutting back
no fruit, or but very little, will be pro
duced. Fertilizer for Fkcit Trees. There
is nothing better than stable manure.
but not enough can be had. Muck is
good if we get the right kind dbrous
and not too much decomposed. It may
be profitably composted with stable
manure, six or seven loads to one of the
latter, with ashes and salt. The coarse
grass which grows on muck swamps, it
piled up with it, helps decomposition.
Salt is recommended as a good fertilizer
for all kinds of fruit trees. It helps to
decompose plant food. Ashes are good,
and leached ahes, 300 bushels per acre,
is excellent on sandy soils, helping
mechanical texture and furnishing
needed uianunai elements.
Never whip your horse for becoming
frightened at an object by the roadside;
for if he sees a stump, a log or a heap of
tan bark in the road, while he is eyeing
it carefully and about to pass it, if you
strike him with the whip, it is the log,
or the stump, or the tanbark that is
kurtiug him, in bis way of reasoning,
and the next time he will be more
frightened. Give him time to examine
and smell all these objects, and use
the bridle to assist you iu bringing him
carefully to them.
Russian. Sehools.
Every city in the Russian Empire has
its lyceum, and every town its grammar

German are taught; in the grammar
schools German sometimes, but not al

A Short Lived Lake. Professor Filo-
panti gives in the Palria the history of
a new lake in Italv, the formation of
which dates from 1370. In the month
of January of that year, In the moun
tainous Commune of Plan del oglio,
near the Apennine crest which sepa
rates the province of Florence from that
of Bologna, occurred a great landslip on
the left ol the bavena, bringing down
earth, trees and houses, and obstructing
the bed of the torrent to the height ot
30 metres, and consequently forcing the
waters to rise so tar in order to sur
mount the new obstacle. There was
thus formed a small lake on the moun
tain, measuring 30 metres in greatest
dopth, 60 in breadth, and about a kilo
metre long, running over the' valley by
a rapid cascade. The waters of this
little lake had the apparent immobility,
the limpidity, and the beautiful azure
color of the large lakes. Few people
knew anything about this new lake till
Professor Filopanti gave an account ol
it in the Monitor di Bologna, altera
visit which he made to the place. Al
though the Professor has not been able
to renew his visit, be baa taken means
to become acquainted with the present
condition of the lakelet. lie learns that
it breadth aud depth have considerably
diminished, as might have been expec
ted, on account of the quantity of earth
and stone continually carried into the
lake by the rains, and still more by the
materials, brought down by the torrent
from above. Propably the lake iu ten
or twenty years, thougn much contrac
ted, will still be recognizable; but in
course of time geologists will scarcely
able to find its traces. However this
nay Le, the history of the little Lakeot
Saveua may well be regarded as iu
miniature that of most of the lakes
formed thousands of years ago, and
which are filled up only in the course
of centuries.
Oil fur Lubricating. The spontaneous
combustion of oily refuse, and the
relative inflammability of the different
oils employed tor lubricating purposes
have been made the subjects of a series
of experiments, with cotton, linen, jute
and woolen waste, by a Glasgow
chemist.
The materials in this case were placed
in a box of tin, having a loubie bottom
in which steam entered, so that the
part which received the refuse could he
maintained at a temperature of ISO
degrees; a thermometer was inserted iu
the oily substance, so that the variation
of temperature occurring therein could
be noted. The results obtained show
that any vegetable or animal oil in
evitably takes tire after a few hours,
under the above conditions; on employ
ing cotton waste, the mass burns
quickly and with flame, in contact with
ine air; wool refuse is slowly trans
formed into a black carbonaceous mass;
though the precise length of time is not
stated.
The addition of mineral oil, known as
lubricating mineral oil, is found to
retard tbe spontaneous combustion ot
vegetable or animal oil, if mixed in
small quantity; if a large amount
be added, tnQammation is entirely
prevented. The mineral oil used
in this case was a very dense pro
duct, having great viscosity and emit
ting no infiauimable vapors, even In
coutact with an ignited body, at any
Ioiut below 333 degrees in other
words, remaining safe of temperatures
at which mixtures of less dense mineral
oil burn. The addition at forty per
cent, of mineral oil is sufficient to pre
vent spontaneous combustion. Twenty
per cent, doubles the lime necessary to
determine conditions favorable to the
same.
The rude representations cut on rocks
near the Lacs des Merveiiles, Switzer
land, have long been a puzzle to arch--eulogists.
Some have believed that
they were tbe work of soldiers of Han
nibal. (What busy people these soldiers
must have been Iroiu first to last.) The
most satisfactory explanation of the
origin of these figures haa just been
given by M. Chlquet. He says that at
certain seasons of the year shepherds
would find near the rocks some herbage
for their sheep and goats. To wile
away the weary hours, the shepherds
amused themselves in cutting the figures
which have cost days of owlish study to
savans, who are more inclined to look
for mysterious and remote authors of
such things, than to accept an obvious
and common-sense view.
A new machine for scaling, cleaning
and polishing wire has recently been
invented. Itavoids th 5 use of snlphuric
acid, and consists essentially of a claw
guide and a set of vertical and horizon
tal stretching and cleaning rolls, over
which the wire is drawn to be cleaned
of scales on all sides. The wire is then
passed through a box filled with a mix
ture of calves' hair and sand.

Lack.
Some people are fond of denying that
there is any such thingas "luck;" but,
be that as it may, there certainly are
persons to w hom what seems like for
tuitous good fortune conies. Colonel
Green Wilkinson gavea seat in his pew,
in London, to an old gentleman, who
left bun $40,000 a year.
A young Bostouian crossed to Eng
land three or four years ago and got
into conversation with an elderly gen
tleman, who observed thariuey had
the same name. H tutS$I out that they
were second cousins. The elder had
gone to California, in the early days,
made a vast fortune, aud entirely lost
sight of his relations. That chance
meeting gave the young man a fortune
of between two and three millions.
Two young ladies had a box at the
opera, in London. An old man oppo
site bored them dreadfully by perpet
ually "lorgnetting" them. The scene
came to an end, and they thought no
more about him. One day, a year af
terward, a solicitor called on one of the
ladies, Lady Frances Bruce, and told
her that an old gentlemen, Mr. W., had
left her property worth several thou
sand a year. '"Never heard of the
man," she said. "Must be a mistake."
"Very extraordinary," replied the so
licitor." Suddenly a happy thought
struck him. "He lies in his coffin, in
St. James street, close by, at Bantings,
the great undertaker : will you come
with me and see him t She went. It
was the old lorgnctter. And it is said
that he left it to her in a mistake, after
all, having intended to leave it to her
friend, whom and not Lady Frances
lie admired, but he was misinformed
as to the names of the two ladies.
And to give one more a quite recent
instance. A young New Yorker weut
to San Francisco to seek the fortune so
many have failed to find. He got a
poor clerkship, and had to be thankful
for that. One evening at a place of en
tertainment, he watched a game of
cards, saw an elderly Englishman was
being cheated, exposed the fraud, and
bad a tussle with the cheat. The Eng
lishman has presented him with twen
ty thousand dollars to start him in busi-
nass, and there is every prospect that
there Is more to come. ,
DOMESTIC - i
Reus ol Table EriqoatTt, Do not
keep others waiting for you either at
the beginning or the close of a meal.
Don't sip soup from the tip but from
the side of a spoon. Be careful not to
spill or drop anything on the tablecloth.
Keep your plate clean ; do not heap an
sorts of food on it at once. In passing
your plate to be refilled retain your
knife and fork, vt hen askea lor a aisn,
do not shove but band It. While drink
ing do not look around. Instruct tbe
servant to hand the cup at the left side,
so that It may be received with the right
band. Do not drink your tea or coffee
without first removing the teaspoon
from the cup to the saucer. Use the
knife ror cutting only; never put it to
the lips or the mouth. Break your
bread into small pieces and rest them
on your plate while spreading. Do not
eat too fast; besides giving one the ap
pearance of greed it is not healthy. If
you find anything unpleasant in your
food put it aside as quietly as possible,
without drawing the attention of others
to it. Do not oen the lips or make any
unnecessary noise in chewing. Do not
touch the head. Do not rest the elbows
on the table. Be thoughtful of and at
tentive to the wants of those about you.
Converse on pleasant subjects with those
sitting near you. Do not say anything
not inteuded for all present to bear.
Laave your plate witli the knife and
fork lying parallel, the handles point
ing to the right. Never leave the table
before others without asking the lady
or gentleman who presides to excuse
you.
Cuts. If the edges of a cut are drawn
closely together before It has entirely
stopped bleeding, and kept in their
places, It will heal very rapidly aud
leave no perceptible scar. Get surgeon's
adhesive piaster, both kinds, tbe thin
and the strong, cut it Into narrow strips,
and when the bleeding has nearly
ceased, wash the wound with a soft
sponge or piece of old linen wet with
warm water, and dry it carefully, then
dip tbe thin plaster into water and
apply it. Being transparent, you can
see through it that theedges are united,
then warm the thick plaster and bind it
over the other, and bandage, if the
wound requires it. This may have to
be repeated arter twenty-lour hours,
but not if the plasters adhere well. This
much of surgery every woman should
know aud be ready to practice if neces
sary; and the benefit to the sufferer
will amply repay tbe effort at self con
trol that it may require.
Copter Steepkrs. Be careful to keep
the codec (or tea) sleepers clean ; they
should be almost as bright inside as out.
From continual use a thin coating forms
on the inside of the steeper, which In
time becomes rank and taints the flavor
of the coffee. Always rinse the sleepers
witli boiling water "after using, aud at
least twice a week throw in a table
SKonful of pulverized borax; fill the
steeper nearly full of boiling water and
let it boil up for lOor 15 minutes; scour
it well with borax, rinse iu hot water,
and ipe out perfectly dry.
To make whitewash that will not
wash off by the rain, one peck of lime
should be slaked in five gallons of
water, in which one pound of rice has
been boiled until it is all dissolved. The
rice water should be used hot, and the
mixture covered up closely until the
lime is slaked. Then add a pound of
salt, anu the wash heated to boiling
when used. It is uot an expensive pre
paration. It can be prepared by any
person wishing to use a good wash, and
is highly satisfactory.
Railroad Cake. Cream two large
tablespoonfuls of butter, free from salt,
with two cupfuls ofsandsugar; when
light add oue cupful of new milk and
the yolk of three eggs. Into three cup-
iuis oi suieu nour rub thoroughly a
teaspoon ful of cream of tartar; dissolve
in a small quantity of water half a tca-
spoouful ot soda, and add to the batter;
beat the whites of the eggs until light,
add to the cake, alternately with the
flour. Bake in pans as for jelly cake.
Iko.m.no. Lay oh a table a clean wet
towel, and rub on the bosom boiled
starch with the thick part of the baud,
and dry; then dampen with raw starch,
making a slight hither with white soap;
roll up till ready for ironing.
Polish for Old FcRsivrRK. Take
of 98 per cent, alcohol one-halt pint;
pulverized resin and gum shelltc, of
each one fourth ounce; let this cut in
the alcohol ; then add linseed oil one
half pint, and shake well.
Substitute for Strong Drink.
Five drachms sulphate of iron, eleven
drachms peppermint water, one drachm
Jamaica ginger; table-pom ful niht

All English physician relates an an
ecdote of one of his patients, which is
not only amusing but expressive of
that particular type cf mail who, as a
rule, does not practice what he preach
es: A patient of mine, a middle-aged
clergyman, was suffering from some
slight symptoms of gout. I recommen
ded a glass of hot whisky and water
every day, in preference to physics of
any kind, but my reverend friend, with
upturned eyes, absolutely refused to
accept my prescription, saying, "No,
no, doctor; I have all my life preached
against alcohol in any form. If that is
the only remedy I must continue to
suffer. Besides," said he, "if I rang
for hot water, my servants would guess
its purpose." Jjaid I, "You shave;
ring the bclf'for shaving water, mix
your glass of medicinal whisky, and
who will be wiser but yourself?" The
parson at last, submitted and we warm
ly shook hands and parted. In a few
week's time, my carriage passing the
clergymsn's door reminded me of my
clerical friend. I touched the bell,and
the thin, care-worn face of a once ro
bust housekeeper answered me. 'Well,'
I said, "how's your master?" "Stark,
stariu' mad, sir mad as he can be."
"Mad ! how ! what ! how mad ?" "Lor',
sir, mad as he can be ; why, he shaves
hisself about twenty times every day!"
was the innocent reply.

ister's name, 'lie saya the weather is
very warm Indeed, unusually and un
comfortably warm in that locality.' At
this point a general smile, which could
not resist the provocation to become
vocal with the congregation, brought
the brother to a pause, and a perception
also of a mistake in the matter of his
nomenclature. Oh I see; It is Ra.
Dr. our absent pastor, whose
name I intended to give.' "
Caught m thb Act. At an enter
tainment given in Boston by the liellers
the other night, at the suggestion of a
lady In the audience, the magician
placed his band on the shoulder of her
male companion and demanded that
Misa Heller, who was exercising her
power of "second sight," should read a
letter mti was in mo ncuucm.u
pocket. The latter became obviously
nervous and would have left the hall,
but the audience, comprehending the
situation, burst out In a roar of laughter
aud loudly called for the reading of the
entire correspondence in his possession.
Miss Heller accordingly read :
'Dearest George, meet me by moon
light alone on the common when the
clock strikes nine."
The victim, amid the yells of the
audience, started down the center aisle,
closely followed by his wife, who merely
stopped to thank Mr. Heller aud ex
claim, with an ominous shake of her
head :
"Just what I expected from the old
deceiver I"
A priex! of ours was traveling, a day
or two since, in the vicinity of Buxton
While crossing a bridge he was stopped
by some young men, one of whom ad
dressed him as follows: "Say. mister,
tot anv whiskv with vou?" "No. sir.
politely responded our friend. "Don't
yeruever drink whisky?" "Xo, sir."
"Waal, that is too bad. I should like
mighty well to get some good whisky,
but we can't get none here. Tell ye
what it is, stranger, iu dangerous stuff
they have hereabouts. We are bound
to drink it anyhow, but we draw lots to
see which shall drink it first. The one
that draws it goes in and sits down. We
all wait an hour, and, if he ain't dead,
then, we all drink; if he is we try an
other place."
During a recent gathering of clergy
men in Boston, one of them, who had
recently lost his wife, was asked at a
dinner table by a guest unaware of the
fact, Doctor, did you bring your wife
with you?" 'Oli no," answered the
doctor, unwilling toembarrass his ques
tioner with explanations "oh no; she
has gone in quite another direction."
When this reply was afterward repeated
to a New Yorker he remarked, with
somewhat caustic humor, "The doctor
was a little rough on Boston"
"What are you trying to do?" de
manded an Irate fatiier of bis boy who
was standing on a high chair in the
closet, and trying to grab a $5 bill
which lay temptingly on the upper
shelf. "Trying to reach a high note,"
calmly sang out the lad. The even
tenor of that boy's life was immediately
interrupted, as his dad came to his as
sistance with a base accompaniment.
An old toper, chancing to drink
glass of water for the want of something
stronger, smacked his lips and turned
to one of his companions, "Why, it
don't taste badly. 1 have no doubt
tls' wholesome for the females am!
children."
A gentleman suffering from gout
was explaining to a friend that his
doctor did not permit him to eat sweets,
potatoes, fruits, farinaceous vegetables,
ale, wine -well, exclaimed me
friend, "why don't you get another
doctor?"

Street-Life In Prkln.
It is scarcely possible to imagine
without having witnessed it, the scene
which the commercial streets of Pekin
exhibit every day. The busy, bustling
crowd, the hoises, mules, carriages,
hand-barrows and sedan-chairs, all
mixed in inextricable confusion, and
amongst them the itinerant dealers,
some with hampers, containing the
stock-in-trade suspended round their
necks, others standing before portable
stoves on which they cook the viands
they vend. These aud many others are
to be seen in the .siieets, uot silently
offering the';" wares, but endeavoring
to attract the attention of possible buy
ers by shrill ear-piercing cries and
loudly vaunting the low price and su
perior quantity of the commodities. The
barber with his little bell summons all
who have not performed their toilets to
be shaved in the open air. He motions
his customers to a low seat, w ith one
turn of the litnd lathers his head, and
dexterously performs with his triangu
lar razor; he then paints his eyebrows,
and adjusts his queue, brushes his gar
ment, and, receiving a small fee, sends
him away satisfied. Often a crowd col
lects to listen to a story-teller, or a
singer, to watch the tricks of a conjur
or, or to hear of the marvellous proper
ties possessed by certain drugs and
remedies sold by a loquacious quack,
but suddenly there is a stir amongst the
assemblage, which hurridly disperses
or draws to one side, leaving room for
the passage of some grandee, who,
seated in his chair, and surrounded by
a numerous cortege, expects all inferiors
to make way ut his presence. Guards
of soldiers are stationed day and night
in the principal thoroughfares, with
strict orders to use their whips upon all,
without distinction, who are disorderly
or betray the slightest inclination to
quarrel ; besides this, every street is di
vided Into sections often houses, which
are each under the surveillance ol one
of the inhabitants, deputed by the au
thorities to fill the office of ti thing-man.
As soon as night falls, each householder.
be he rich or poor, mandarin or me
chanic, must light the lantern which
stands at bis door. At both ends of
each street there is a wooden barrier
which is closed at dark, and sentries
posted at these barriers w ill permit of
neither ingress or egress unless the ap
plicant carries a lantern and can show
good cause for his absence from home.
Watchmen patrol tbe streets during
the whole nighi, who, instead of crying
the hour, show the vigilance by striking
a tube of bamboo every few minutes,
causing a dull, hollow sound, which it
takes Europeans some time to become
acquainted with and sleep through.
Th Tempts.
K irn.lc, wbica wa nt only a temple
but one of the series of temples which
constituted Tbebes, is about a half mile
from the Nile, a mile or two from the
temple of L ixr. The front wall or
propylon Is 370 feet broid, 6U feet aeep,
and the standing tower 140 feet high.
Liading up to this raiiu entrance is an
avenue lined with statues and sphinxes
200 feet long, when you enter this
gate you enter an open courtyard, 2i
feet by 323. Tuere Is a corridor or
cloister on either side; in the middle a
double line of col u mm, of which only
one remains, iou nowco neio anoiuar
wall, or propylon, as large as the en
trance, and enter the great hall the
most magnificent ruia in Eypt. Tbe
steps of the door are 4) feet by 10.
The room is 170 foet by 339, and the
roof was supported by 134 columns.
These columns are ail or nearly all
standing, but the roof has gone. Twelve
are fri feet high without the pliutu, and
11 feet 6 inches in diameur. Oae
hundred and twenty are 42 feet 5 inches
In height and 23 feet in circumference.
They were all brilliantly colored, and
some of them retain the colors still;
and you cau weil imagine what must
have been the blaza of light and color
when the kings and priests passed
through in solemn procession. We
pass through auother gate iuto an open
court. Here is an obelisk in granite 75
feet high, and the fragments of auother
Its companion. Tbe inscriptions on
them are as clear as though they had
been cut yesterday so gentle is this
climate in its dealings with time. They
celebrate the victories and virtues
of the kings who reigned 1700 years be
fore Christ, and promise the kings 1 1
the Dame of the immortal gods that
their glory shall live for ages. We pass
into another chamber very much In
ruins, and see another obelisk, 82 feet
high aud 8 square the largest in the
world. This monument commemorates
the virtues of the king's daughter,
womanly and queenly virtues, which
met their reward, let us hope, thirty
five centuries ago. You may form soni;
idea of what the Egyptians could do in
the way of mechanics and engineering
when you know that this obelisk is
single block of granite, that it was
brought from the quarry miles and
miles away, erected and inscribed in
seven months. The next room was tbe
sanctuary, the holy of holies, aud is
now a mass of rubbish requiring nimble
feet to climb. You scramble over stones
and sand until you come to what was
the room where King Thothmes III
who lived sixteen centuries before
Christ, was represented as giving offer
ings to fifty-six of his royal predecessors.
The hall is a ruin, aud some French
vandals carried off the tablet one of
the most valuable In Egypt to Paris.
Altogether the building alone was 1,108
feet long and about 300 wide, the circuit
around the outside, according to a
Koman historian who saw it in its glory
being about a mile aud a half.
A Pedestrian and His Shoemaker.
The pedestrian O'Leary recently said
in conversation with a reporter:
"In walking I come down heel first,
and then spring from the ball of the
foot. The constant pounding makes
the soles of my feet very hot, but my
leg never swell and never tire. The
track In Agricultural Hall was made of
potters clay, and told terribly id my
feet. There was no spring to it and it
peeled up like a carpet. For years I
suffered for want of an easy shot;.
Shoemakers in France, England, ainl
America sent me cart loads of them,
but they were no good. At last I dis
covered an Irishman in New York
that knew how to make shoes for a
pedestrian. He has the shoes with
which I won the match In Agricultural
Hall in a shoecase fronting his store on
Canal street and Broadway, and to 'lay
when I came down there were a hundred
people looking at them.
"Why do you always clutch acini
cob in each hand when walking your
matches, Mr. O'Leary?"
The pedestrian laughed. "I'm sure
I can't tell you," he said. I think it
is a habit as much as anything else.
They probably absorb the perspiration
and keep the hands from swelling. In
walking I hold my arms tip and work
my hands across each other toward the
opposite snoulder. I used the cobs
first because a tight grip on them seemed
to make ,ne solid, and agreed with the
tight lacing. That got me into the
habit of walking with cobs, and I never
have been able to break myself of it.
Mv back is well arched when I walk,
and I strike straight out from the hips.
The peculiar way iu which I carry my
hands senietimes creates unpleasant
comments. Many think that I am show
ing off, and when 1 begin my walk in
Agricultural Hall the reporter of the
London SUmdurA took one look at me
and said, 'Well, that infernal fool won't
!ast long.' "

the hair of a wild Minor-Asiatic g"nf,
called "mo" whence mohair abbre viat
