10 me to possess thrilling interest. One
states that there is "an epidemic among
the goats Of Asia Minor" and the other
informs US that "Terra del Fuego Is for
sale" When | think al tho almost pa
thetic interest that is felt in this country
in the .anitary condition OF the goats OF
Asia Minor, and upon the vast number
OF Americans who do not sleep at night
because Of their irresistible yeaIning to
buy up Terra del Fuego at auction, and
when | remember that the American
papers lately have paid for several costly
cable dispatches, which informed them
that Cardinal Antonelli's gout is better,
and that the Earl Of Marlborough was
drunken than usual, feel that if it was

INGENIUs THIEvING.-A writer on
Chinese life says: AT Macao, on the
ground floor, - large table was spread for
"A late dinner. 1t was covered with many
d dicacies, and, As usual, there was an
abundance of silver plate. The sun had
gone down, the wax candles were lighted,
The window. left open for the benefit Of
the evening breeze. Suddenly a great
number OF bamboo, were seen to enter
on all sides from the verandas at the
same moment every candle was extin-

low tubes. The apartment was involved
in darkness, band of thieves jumped in
and before the astonished guests knew
where they were or what was doing, the
whole of the plate was conveyed away,
a boat no doubt having been provided
for the transport Of the spoil either to a
neighboring island or to the mainland OF

TAKING OFF THE SHOES.

In Syria the people never take off their
caps or turbauS when entering house
or visiting friend, but they always leave
their shoes at the door, The reason is
that their floors are covered with clean
mats and rugs, and in the MoSlem houses
the men kneel on the rugs to pray aud
press their toreheads to the floor, 50 that
it would not be decent or respectful to
walk in with dirty shoes and spoil the
SHADY on which they knee to pay
They have 40 mat or scrapers, and it is
much cheaper and simpler to leave the
shoes, dirt and all, at the door.
1t is very curious to 60 to Syrian school
houses and see the piles of boots and
shoes at the door, There are new, bright
red shoes, and kob -kobs, and black shoes
and yellow shoes. The kob kobS are
wooden clogs, made to raise the feet out
of the mud and water, having little
strap over the toe to keep it on the foot
lon will often see little boys and girls
running down steps and paved streets on
these dangerous kob b-kobs. Sometimes
they slip, and then down they 60 on their
noses, and the kob kobs fly off and go
rafting over the stones, and little All or
Iusef, or whatever his name is, begins
to shout: "Y0 ImmSl Yd Imnle ="
(Oh +! my mother D--and crys out Just
like children in other countries.
But the funniest part Of it is to see the
boys when they come out OF school and
try to find their shoes, all mixed together
in one pile. When the school is out, the
boys make rush for the door. Then
comes the tug of war. A dozen boys are
standing and shuttling on the pile of shoes
running their toes into their own, Stun
bling over the kob- -kobs, and then max
ing dash to get out of the crowd
Sometimes shins will be kicked and hair
pulled and tarbooshes thrown Off, and a
great screaming follows, which will only
cease when the teacher comes with "Asar
or stick, and quels tbs riot.
That pile OF shoe, will have to answer
for good many .choolboy tights and
bruised noses and hmd feelings in Syria.
You will wonder how they can tell their
own shoes. So do |. And the boys oft
en- wear off each others shoes by mistake
or on purpose, and then you viii see Sc
lin running with one shoe ON and one Of
lbHhim's IN his hand, shouting and
cursing lbrahim', lnther, grandlntherand
his family, until he receives back his
lost property. The Women Of tie Ara6S.

CHRONICLE MAP.-We inadvertently omit
ted to mention the receipt last week. of the
large and splenddly gotten up map, which is
offered as q premium to subscribers to the San
Francisco Weekly Chronicle. The map is thir-
ty-faur inches square, and. mechanically, is
equal to the best produced anywhere; but as to
Idaho Territory, it is incomplete and unrelia-
ble 1t does not give Salmon Falls, on Snake
river, nor the South fork Of the Payette river;
and it locates Idaho City on More creek, about
where Moretown is, instead Of between More
and Elk creeks, as it is. The Payette river IS
divided up into three forks, or branches. known
as the South, Middle, and North forks, and the
Chronicle map has, sngularly enough, overlook
ed the one most talked Of in Idaho. We had
thought, too. that Salmon Falls was place of
sufficient note to be given place on map of
the Territory. But even this is by some un-
lucky chance, excluded from the one before
us. The errors and omissions pointed out
above, are oil we have yet discovered, and are
probably, all to be found in the map.
