SCENES 41LONG TIE NILE.

We have been long away from Cairo
with its busy streets and scenes so like
TO those of the "Arabian Nights, and
now for weeks have been sailing along
the strange river Nile. How l should
like TO have you all with me-and what
a fleet it would be We should need
such number of diabeahs pleasure
boatsl rs never sailed on this river be
fore, and | think the Arab children, IN
their constitutional cry of "hackshush'
with which they ever salute the trave-
Ter.
There are many scenes on the river
bank that would attract your attention
and fill you with surprise. Ailday, but
more especially morning and evening,
long files of women, in their dark biue
robes, come to the rivers brink to MI
the large BALI.As jars, so called from
the village where they are made. Al
ter little gossip and merry laughter,
they help one another to raise the vessel
to the top of the head, where II Is
placed on "A hollow pad, and so they go
back to their homes, up hill and down,
perhaps n distance of half mile or
more without ever touching the jar
with their hands. 1t is feat which
surprises the traveller, and can only be
accomplished by daily practice.
Here and there may be seen Duffa-
10, black, ugly in appearance, apparent
" sullen and surly, but in reality gen
tie and ohedient To the naked little boy
on his back.
Sometimes, in the warm afternoons,
| sit and watch the waterfowl and lis
II, nY,np. 1,,nn fNn1inn :
| tapping their immense wings FAR over
head; graceful cranes stalking over the
flats; hcrons, storks, and the whole race
OF ducks in myriads, swarming on every
sand bank and, very rarely, the beau
tiful red ilamingo, which we have to
observe through the double glass, as II
is TO shy too come near our boat.
| Occasionally we see camels looming
in the background, growing hideousl,
a- they are forced To kncel to receive
their burdens.
1t was a strange sight--that of th'
vast number Of Worllmen, IA we saw
them going to their labor on the rail
road which is being built from Cairo
lup the Nile. Each man had a palm
leaf basket into which he scraped VI
the dirt with his hands, and then pois
ing it on his head, carried it TO its plac
lof destination. 1t is said that somebod,
once imported some wheel-barrows TO
the benefit of these poor fellows, but
some time after, coming to see how til
new improvement worked, he foun'
them hlling the wheel-barrows AM
putting them upon their heads, wher
they carried them just as they did til
baskets. don't say this is true but
; does show the lack of keen wit in thes
people, and the way they cling to oil
lcustoms; and | believe if somebod
should give one of them a wheel-bal
row, he would use it in that senselcs
way.
