Wlieu you sny that 1 have so statistics to prove this I answer that I have common sense and have pent much time in city shops. 1 know, too, what I am capable of, and I am but a half bonrted hunter. I know what my friends do. It isu't for nothing that I have seen earnest young tudents of economics succumb to this hunting instinct and fare forth to buy ninety-eight cent undergarments. It Is not only In the stores frequent ed by poor or uneducated women that I have seen the more brutal Instincts of the human race come to the sur face. I have seen a charming looking elderly woman in a high class store natch a dress length of gray voile from tho hands of another elderly wo man, and the reason I happened to see these sights was because I myself was at tho sale looking at garments I didn't want and didn't need and buying them. The bargain chase, the shopping game passion or sport, life work or recreation for it may be any one of theso,' according to the temperament of the woman bas American women well in its grip, nnrdly one of us es-j capes some one of the psychological: deviations from the normal which I have mentioned.

BOKHARA THE NOBLE. A City That Doss Not Live Up to Its - High 8ounding Title. The some manners and customs pre vail In the Itokhara of today that were familiar to our night prowling friend of Bagdad. A blindfolded horse still plods round and round beneath a beam, grinding the corn between an upper, and a nether millstone. The cotton Is still carded by the. primitive agency of a double bow, the smaller one affixed to the celling and the larger one at tached to It by a cord and struck by a mnllet so as to cause a sharp rebound. The rels-l-sharlat. or censor of the morals, still rides slowly through tae town, compelling the children to at tend the schools and their parents the mosques, Inspecting the weights and measures and keeping a watch over the behavior of thn community as a whole. When a tradesman is found guilty of cheating he Is stripped bare In the street, forced to his knees and flogged with a stirrup leather by one of the censor's attendants. The world mores slowly In Bokhara. The city gates still close with the set ting sou. After dark no one Is allow ed abroad, the only sound at night be ing the melancholy beating of the watchman's drum as he patrols the streets with a lantern in his quest, un like Diogenes, of a dishonest man. With its filth, fanaticism, vice, cru elty and corruption, Bokhara the No ble, as Its people insist on calling it, conies nenrer to being a hell on earth than any place I know, and that Is the best that I can say about it.

Along the coast of the bay of Ago nnd the bay of Gokasho the thirteen and fourteen year old girls. after they have finished their primary school work, go to sea and lenrn to dive. They are In the water nnd learn to swim almost from babyhood, and they spend most of their time in the water except in the coldestseason, Trom the end of December to the be ginning of February. Even during the most Inclement of seasons they sometimes dive for pearls. They wear a special dress, white un derwear and the hair twisted up Into a hard knot. The eyes are protected by glasses to prevent the entrance of water. Tubs are suspended from the waist. A boat In command of a man Is as signed to every five to ten women divers to carry them to and from the fishing grounds. When the divers ar rive on the grounds they leap Into the water at once and begin to gather oys ters at the bottom. The oysters are dropped Into the tubs suspended from their waists. ' When these vessels are filled the div ers are raised to the surface and Jump Into the boats. They diva to a depth of from five to thirty fathoms without any special apparatus and retain their breath while remaining under water from one to three minutes. Their ages vary from thirteen to forty years, and between twenty-flve and thirty-five at their prime. New York they are Sun.

Paraguay Laee. Making lace by hand is a well de veloped art in Paraguay. It was taught the natives 200 years ago by the mis sionaries and has been transmitted from generation to generation till it is now quite general throughout the re public. Some towns are devoted to making a certal.i kind of lace. In one town of 8.000 or 0.0IX) Inhabitants al most nil the women and children and many of the nieu make lace collarets, handkerchiefs and ladles' ties. An other town makes lnce embroidery nnd others drawn thread work, such as centerpleees. tray mats, teaeloths and dollies. The designs used In making the lace are taken from the curious webs of the semltroplcal spiders that ore so numerous tbeee. On this nc count it Is called "nandutl," an Indjan name which means spider web. j Preaching and Practice. i W. S.
