UNFOLDING A PRINCIPLE. When
Hood wrote the famous lines, "'Tis, OH,
to be slave along with the barbarous
Turk" the poet could hardly realize the
true condition of the fair sex among the
followers of Mahomet. Lady Herbert
throws some light on the subject in her
work on Algeria, in which the condition
of the female sex among the Arabs is IL
lustrated by the following anecdote: A
chief of the tribe of Haracta, between
Ain-Beida and Tebessa, went on some
business to Constantine. A few days
later he returned to his tribe, and, cali
ing his wife, desired her to fetch four
posts and some cord. She obeyed, when
to her horror the chief threw her down
on the ground, lashed her to the four
stakes, and taking stick commenced
beating her with all his might. Her
cries brought all the inhabitants of the
tents to their doors, who endeavored,
though in vain, to stop her husbands
arm. "But what has she done ~ they
exclaimed. ''She is the pearl of the
tribe, the best of mothers, the model of
wivesr' "What has she done?'i re-
torted the monster. "Nothing. I am
only relieving my mind" At last, be-
ing exhausted by his own fury, he con-
descended to stop and explain that, at
Constantine, he had seen an Arab wom-
an, backed up by the French authorities,
drag her husband before the Court to
complain of his i'll usage, and the Kadi
had actually given judgment in her
favor. So monstrous an infractIon of
Arab usages had infuriated the chief to
such degree that he had forgotten the
object Of his journey, and only hurried
home TO wreak his vengeance for the in
suit offered to the male sex on the body
of his unhappy wife.

charity school in their azure uniforms.
Medcis collsrettes are the latest In lingerie.
They are collars with ruffs attached. We
don't like their name. 1t is suggestive of q
mild type of cholera.
Useful wells of grenadine, in square meshes,
made of sewing silk, ale new this season.
They are far more substantial than the ordi-
nary gauze grenadines.
Sashes of China Grape are the fashion. In
da embroidery, such as is seen in the borders
of camers hair shawls, is now used for trim
ming redingotes, polonaises aud jackets.
The latest thing in engagement rings is a
sapphire and ruby set together, emblematic
of love and fidelity.
The short necklace with pendant still con
tinues to be the most fashionable ornament
Stone canoes are increasing in favor every
day.
Chatelaines Of gold set with precious stones
will be worn next winter.
