AN EGYPTIAN EEBEL
Dt cou Howard Arri.Rnt.
HE t-nt of tho
f.gyptm u army
arose, whits an
snow, against a
sky of ultramarine
below spread tho
white wail. Unit
more intcnso could
not lia imagined.
Tho air fairly quiv
ered with it, ami it
had upon the eves
the blinding effect
of tho flashing of a
mirror in the mm.
It wan not a timo of battle.
The little army composed thj mili
tary conlon with vhloh Ismnil Puehn
protected tho recently established eg-
.ricnltural districts on tho border of
Abyssinia, ami the roads for trallio,
which in 1800 lmil not long been
-opened.
The dearth of cotton, can aim! by the
Civil War of tho United States, hml
given Ismail the idea of making Egypt
:ret cotton growing country, nud
nince then, railway, tolegrapln and
all mniinur of improvements have been
introduced.
At the date of the story, great cara
vans of Canada bore the products of
the fleldr to their various market'',
and no ronring, rod-eyed steam mou
nter had yot invaded tho land of myis
tery, silence and tho sphinx.
Every one was languid. Tho offi
cers resting in their tents, the ooiu
in on soldiers squatting about at ease.
A caravan on its way south halpausod
to oat and rest until night fell, and
that great, golden thing, the moon of
I'vpt, should rise to light them on
.their way. Each man had said his
prayers, and boforo praying, since
water was not plentiful, bad rubbed
Vhis bunds with dust which was
counted to his credit just the same by
the recording angel of his paradise,
who always makes allowance for cir
cumstances. Now peace bin! fallen
upon the hot world, where almost
overybody slumbered.
In his tent Capttain Ibin El-Warra-kah
was dreaming. His dreams carried
him away from the tents, the soldiers
and all his present surroundings. Ho
was onoo more in the home of his
Uncle Kizk entertained as a beloved
guest. He bad eoen his aunt, who
was his mother's sister, even without
' the lace-veil. But she, having sent
kiud messages to his mother, and
Riven him a present, bad retired to
rtue private rooms of the women, from
- which, uow and then, came a silvery
: rippla of laughter, and words spoken
i in a voice that was the sweetest be hud
j)vor heard..
Ho knew it was that of his Cousin
Fat-Meh. Fat-Meh had been a beau
tiful little girl. He had always re
membered Fat-Mob affectionately. But
now he could not ask to ree her, any
more than if she had been the daughter
of some stranger. He might not look
upon a woman's face, eveu if she were
his cousin. He bowed to custom, as
the young man of this country does.
But it oame into his mind, now that
littlo Fat-Meh, who had been as dear
as a sister to him in those baby years,
was veiled and hidden from him as
from a stranger, that even old estab
lished Egyptian customs might bs
carried too far.
He sat and ate the various dishes
which the black slave offered to the
guests. But all the while he thought
of little Fat-Meh, and laid a plan by
which at least to see her.
Jn Egypt, one is not obliged to sit
.-ml table until all the company have
finished their meal. Each may rise
-when he is satisfied, saying, "Praise
be to God," wash his hAnds in the
ewer which the servant holds for him
' before and after meals, dry them on
the embroidered towel and retire from
i the company.
And so, as soon as he dared, Ibin
did this, and saying that ha wished
ones mora to see the garden and pom-
granate treea under which he had
, played in ohildhood, left the room.
Out into the garden he went and
atanding where ha oould see the lat
- tioed windows above, began to sing a
little rhyme that children sing when
i tkey play together, beating time with
. bis palms. What more naturally, when
memories of youth returned with the
i sight of the gartlen where before rat
Men had been able to walk alone, he
: bad led ber by ber tiny band what
: more natural than that be should re
: member the rhyme and aing it again?
And while be sang another voioe,
' oft and low, took op the strain. Some
one was singing behind the lattice of
- the window. He knew it was Fat
Meh, A little later and be saw that
- the lattice was pushed softly open, A
- veiled faoe peeped forth, a band was
. extended for a moment and a rose
dropped. Above the veil be saw great
pros, like stars, bordered with kohl.
Then, as if by accident, tlio veil
dropped, and ho saw his onusm I' at
Midi's fnoo tlio Imby fnoo become a
woman's, and beautiful exceedingly.
It vanished. Tho window was
closed. Ho plokod np tho roso and
hid it in his bosom aud ruturnod to
tho house. ,
lioforn he loft his nnole's abode,
however, ho had asked some questions
aud learned that Fat-Moll was already
promised in mnrriago and Hint the
meeting of relatives, to settle the
question of dowry, would occur very
soon.
It is not often that a young Egyp
tian soos a girl's fnoo, and this one
glimpse of his cousin's fnoo remained
in Ibin'a heart as a kiss might in that
of an Englishman. Ho was dreaming
of her as a man entered tho tent in
haste and a voice enllndi Captain
my captain t" and be looked up aud
saw a siddier beside him.
"Captain," this man said, saluting
him, "a boy, who appears to lie (tying,
asked to bo brought to you. Will you
sue him?" - ... -
Ibin sprang to his feot and followed
tho man into the ipou air. There,
supported by .two othur men, stood a
beautiful, beardless boy, who lifted
his eye and looked into Iblu's faoe
imploringly.
"Captain," ho said, "I have some
thing to toll you something which
no olio must hour. Tako me to your
tent take mo quickly."
Without a word, tliooaptain oponod
his arms to roceive tho fainting form,
and, lifting it, bore it into his tent.
Tho soldiers did not dare to follow,
and, seeing they were not waatud, re
tired. Hoftly as a mother bears her child,
Ibin laid his burden down upon the
rugs spread In its shadow and knolt
down iiesido it.
His heart was beating wildly. Ha
trembled from bend to foot. His eyes
the eyes of a lover, against whieh
no woman ever yet disguised herself
had recognized bis ooiiMiu Fat-Meh
on the instant. Why she thus masque
railed ho did not know ; but she had
asked for him, and wild faunios filled
his mind. Now, as he kuult there, he
whispered :
"I know you I I knew yon, Fnt
Meh I Tell mo quickly what it is that
nils you I"
Jli, Cousin Ibin, it is a wound,
the girl gasped "here In my arm I I
c.ime with the new soldiers who came
to-day. Two of them quarreled. Out
struck at the other, lie sprang be
hind me, and the blade entered my
arm, lam uying I Ami, oh, it was
so horrible to think of dying amongst
strange men, and that they should
know I And i know that you would
koep my secret. Hide me I Let uo
one know even after I am dead I"
"Have no foar. I will shield you
with my life if necessary," said Ibin.
"Here on your sleeve I see blood. Is
it here?"
"Yes!" whispered the girl.
On the ItisUnt Ibin ripped np the
sleeve, and to bis joy found a little
wound, which had bled badly but not
yet dangerously. When he had bound
it up and reassured her, he covered
hor face and left bar to rest, aud went
out to tell his tale. The littlo soldier,
he said, was not much hurt. He was
a mere boy, and fauoied himself dy
ing, and had asked for him that he
might send a message to his parents.
For the present he would care for
him. Tbeu he returned to his tent,
fat-Meh was awake, tier great
oyes turned upon bun.
"Ibin," sho said, "do I seem bold
to you? I suppose so. But listen. I
have boen learning lessons. In Egypt
women are slaves. They sell us as if
we were birds. I, for instauoe, have
u heart. I wish to marry ono I love.
And there oame to our house au old
woman, who told my parents that a
rich man wished to marry me ; and
they said I must marry him. 1 prayed
them not to give me to him. They
laughed. The preparations were com
plete. The time had come. Do you
blame me for running away? A few
jewels bought the help of an old wo
man. While they were looking for a
lost girl, a Doy inaroneil away wun
the soldiers.
"Oh, I would have done anything
to esoape that frightful man I see,
have even out my long hair I Dooi it
make me ugly? Do you think me
bold aud bad very, very bad? I saw
that you loved me when you looked
up at me from the garden. Uut, II
have made you despise me, at least let
me stay and be a little soldier, and see
you now and then, and perhaps, wait
on you sometimes. Ana when tbere
is a battle, tight besido you. Only do
not tend me baoc to marry somebody
I bate, Pity me, even if you scorn
me."
On this, Captain Ibin El-WarrakaU
quite forgot Lyptian good manners,
and took Fat-Meh's hand in bis and
held it azainst his heart, and told her
that she was a rose, a nightingale and
a dove, and ha reoitsd this verse to
her:
"Y mllah knifoo min Allah
Wit shamal asnlk ll-ab.
Hobukkum msk toon mln Allah,
naauiirn i mowia aieirjia.
Which might be very freely trans
lated thus
"Oh, beloved one I Sines Allah baa
given us to eaoh other, tbs love we
feel is ordained by him. Therefore,
let uo one blame us for what was de
creed in paradise. "
Hut in spite of this bold speeon and
their brave hearts, matters might have
ended badly for both had it not hap
pened that the khedive aleoted to visit
bis soldiers that morning.

lowed by other high-mightinesses

And this was all very l.ioity for littlo
Fat-Moh, for Egyptian fathers make
nothing of putting a daughter who
has disgrsRod her family as completely
as this little rebel had certainly done

lime, and having her quietly tossed
into the nearest river. As It eu'le l,

The Thirst ol I'Unt.
Hnberlnnlt has calculated that a
field of rye, during its growth and de
velopment, absorbs tons of water
per acre; oats require 570 tons, aud
wheat 4HJ. 'J. lie water, suoked or
pumped up by thn roots from tho
soil, traverses the tissues of the plant,
depositing nutriment therein, and
Anally is evaporated by tho leaves.
This process Is cslloil transpiration.
As tho soil furnishes the supply of
water, that supply, in order thitt the
plant can develop itself normally,
ought to equal at least thn volume
of water given off by the leaves.
Should this equilibrium be broken,
the leaves droop, buoomo dried and
fall.
Not only dons tho plant languish
from nn insufficient supply of water,
but thn energy of its green matter
cells decreases. Tho assimilation of
carbon ceases, and tho growth of the
plant is stopped.
Jt is the same thing in rearing
stock. If badly fed tho animal will
be stunted. The transpiration of the
plant is ten timos greater in presenile
of full light than in obscurity, and
during cloudy weather the transpira
tion is less by one-half than under
the direct action of the aolar rays.
fudge, then, of the nufloring of vege
tation when rain is absent, and the
sky clear and the sunlight continuous.
The only resources the plant has, in
the absence of an artificial supply of
water by Irrigation, is to send its roots
tapering deep into the soil. ' Dehorain
has traced the rootlets of wheat to
depth of eighty inches in the soil.
The botanist Wolkeus corroborates
these views still more forcibly in the
course of his voyage in Egypt and
Arabia. Ono of tho silent character-
sties of the roots of plants iu the
desert is their enormous leugth.
Plants whose height above the sur
face of the soil never exoeeds the
length of the hand have the root at
tho nenk as thick as the thumb, tap
ering to the volume of the little Au
ger at the depth of two yards.
It is to their vast ilesoeuding root
lets that the plants of the desert owe
their existence, and are able to tight
the burning heat, which would cause
a branch of the ssine plant, if do-
taohed, to wither away iu the course
of Ave minutes.

pleasure of a quick suaok if we only

and tho sides are plain. A belt of
folds with a rosette tluishos the waist,
below which two long bands of ribbon
trimming descend to the hem of the
seven-gored skirt. The sleeves of the
bodice are of the large log-o mutton
size, with close wrists.
The skirt bangs very gracefully and
has an organ-pleated back. The ef
fect of the bauds of ribbon shown in
our picture, terminating in large but
terfly bows, is very novel and pretty.
The skirt is made wide at the bem by
the large pleat at the back. All the
summer materials look well in this de
sign. The foulards, creponettes, ore
pons and the ginghams having a stripe
of lace, as well as tbs ootton batistes,
and the lawns, and the dotted Swiss
muslins, make up beautifully aftir this
dosign, but if a more expensive dress
be looked for the new taffetas are
charming in this model. Thore are
many new cottons which show lovely
colors and designs, aud which may also
be cited as suitable to the design above
descried. As regards color, all the
exquisite violet tints and delioate
greens, the "doe," fawn and wood
tints are all fashionably worn. Pale

are most worn ol all.

The prettiest thin dresses are tho
Japanese ones. All the readers of old
romsnoeswill remember how the hero
ines alwaya wore pineapple gauzes at
their first balls, and the prettiest
azes are those imported direct from
Japan.
One I saw was of white, with a helio
trope stripe, and had been brought
over from Japan in a trading ship a
great many years ago. It had been
laid away in an old trnnk, whence it
was brought a few weeks since, with
lot of other treasures, that until now
i have been voted mere lumber. The
dressmaker made it up over a helio
trope satin slip and low cnt waist.
The game itself was gored on the hips,
but gathered very full at the back.
The waist was fulled in from shoulders
to belt, and was trimmed with broad
ruffles of the same over the shoulders,
and in jabot fashion down the front
of the waist The customary belt and
sash finished the gown, which bad to
wear with it broad Leghorn bat,
