Scenes in Cairo.

The traveller who desires 10 see the MO-
hammedan at home cannot do better than
to seek him in Cairo, and he finds in the
narrow, picturesque streets OF the old
parts of the town scenes of interest which
he may seek in vain elsewhere. When he
energies into the modern quarters the
change is remarkable. Though all the
tyranny of the Turks has not sufficed to
alter the indelible characteristics Of tho
place, and though the wide squares, the
fountains, the gardens, the arcades, the
watered roads, the rows Of villas have a
half French look, the people who crowd
every thoroughfare are as unlike anything
European as they can be.
Here is long string of groaning cam
els led by Bedouin in white capote,
who carries loads of green clover or long
fagots of sugar cane. There half a dozen
blue gowned women squat idly IN the
middle of the roadway. A brown-sklnned
boy walks about with no clothing on his
long lean limbs, or lady smothered in
voluminous draperies rides by on
donkey, her face covered with a trans
parent white veil, and her knees nearly as
high as her chin. A bullock cart with
small wheels, which creak horribly at
every turn, goes past with its cargo of
treacle Jars. Hundreds of donkey boys
lie in wait for a fare, myriads of half
clothed children play lazily in the gut
tiers, turbaned Arabs smoke long pipes
and converse energetically at the corners,
and every now and then pair of running
footmen, in white shirts and broad, wide
trousers, shout to clear the way for car
rage in which, behind half-drawn blinds,
some fine lady of the viceregal harem
takes the air. She is accompanied per-
haps by little boy in European dress,
and by a governess or nurse whose bon
net and French costume contrast strange
ly with the yelled figure opposite.
A still greater contrast is offered by
the appearance of the women who stand
by as the carriage passes; whose babies
are carried astride on the shoulder, or
in the basket so carefully bal
anced upon the head. The baskets hardly
differ from those depicted on the walls OF
the ancient tombs, and probably the baby,
entirely naked and its eyes full OF black
flies, is much like what its ancestors were
in the days of the PharaOhs. In the older
quarters of the town the scenes are much
The same, only that there is not so much
room for observing them; for the streets
are seldom wider than Paternoster Row,
and the traveller who stops to look about
him is roughly jostled by Hinbad, the
porter, with his heavy bale of carpets, or
The uncle of Aladdin, with his basket OF
copper lamps, or the water-carrier, clank-
ng his brazen cups, with an immense
skin slung around his STOPPING shoulders.

Beautiful Things.


Beautiful faces are those that wear
It matters little If dark or fair
Whole. souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth-fres glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that Is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, If God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess
Beautiful twilight at set Of sun,
Beautiful goal with race well won,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful graves where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie
deep
Der worn out hands-oh, beautiful sleep!.

Always Neat.

Some folks are very charming at even
ing parties, but surprise them in the
morning when not looking for company,
and the enchantment is gone. There is
good sense in the following advice to
young ladies:
Your every day toilet is part of your
character. A little girl who looks like a
''fury" or "sloven," in the morning, is
not to be trusted, however finely she may
look in the evening. No matter how hum
BILE your room may be, there are eight
things it should contain: a mirror, wash
stand, soap, towel, comb, hair brush, nail
brush and tooth brush. These are just as
essential as your breakfast, before which
you should make good use of them. Pa
rents who fail to provide their children
with such appliances not only make a
great mistake, but commit sin Of omis-
sion.
Look tidy in the morning, and after
dinner-work is over improve your toilet.
Make it rule Of your daily life to "dress
up'' for the afternoon. Your dress may
not, or need not, be anything better than
calico; but with ribbon or some bit of
ornament, you can have an air of self-re-
spect and satisfaction, that invariably
comes with being we'll dressed.
A girl with fine sensibilities cannot
help feeling embarrassed and awkward in
a ragged and dirty dress, with her hair
unkempt, should neighbor come in.
Moreover, your self-respcct should de-
mand the decent apparelling of your
body. You should make it point to
look as we'll as you can, even if you know
nobody will see you but yourself.

Eating and Brain Work.

In spite Of the example set by Scott
and Goethe, let me observe that nothing
interferes so much with brain work as
over-eating. The intellectual workman
requires nourishment of the best quality,
but the quantity ought always to be we'll
within the capacity of his digestive pow
ers. The truth appears to be, that while
the intellectual life makes large demands
upon nutrition-for cerebral activity can
not go forward without constant supplies
of force, which must come ultimately
from what we have eaten-this kind Of
life, being sedentary, is unfavorable to
the work of digestion. Brain workers
can not eat like sportsmen and farmers
without losing many hours in torpor,
and yet they need nutrition as much as
if they led active lives. The only way
out OF this difficulty is to take care that
the food is good enough for moderate
quantity of it TO maintain the physical
and mental powers. The Importance of
scientific cookery can hardly be exagger-
ated. This is one Of those matters which
people can not be brought to consider
seriously; but cookery in its perfection
the great science of preparing food in
the best way suited to our uses, is really
the most important Of all sciences, and
the arts. The wonderful theory that the
most ignorant cookery is the most favor
able to health is only fit for the dark
ages. 1t is grossly and stupidity untrue
A scientific cook will keep you in regu-
lar health, when an ignorant one will
offer you the alternative Of starving or
ndigestion.-Hamerto

Whenever fly, or other insect, a small
flying seed, quicklime, dust, or any other
minute object, gets into the eye, do not
adopt the common habit of rubbing OF
even of washing with water, but gently
raise, or get gentle hand to raise for
you, the eyelid, and bend the head forward
In keeping thus the eyelid elevated, and
the eye quiescent for few moments, one
feels the flow of tears starting from the
organ which seldom fails to bring along
with it the cause of the pain, or at least to
carry it toward the corner of the eye next
to the nose, from whence it may be re-
moved by fine handkerchief folded to a
point. If this operation is not sufficient,
then a finger ought to be passed frequent
ly, yet gently, over the eyelid, from the
exterior corner of the eye to the interior
corner, by which means the substance is
made to descend toward the lachrymal
glands, from where it may be drawn by a
fine hair pencil. If the irritating sub
stance still remains, then we are further
instructed that the upper eyelid must be
taken as before, and kept elevated as
much as possible, and the eye being then
turned toward the nose very fine camel's
hair pencil, dipped in cream, oil, or per-
fectly fresh butter without an atom of
salt in it, remember), must be introduced
between the eyelids and the body Of the
eye, beginning at the exterior corner, and
ending at the interior corner. If the fine
hair pencil is not successful you will be
almost sure to succeed with one rather
larger. Should all these efforts fail,
which is extremely unlikely if they are
properly performed, do not set to work
rubbing or washing the eye, as you must
obtain professional assistance. Be sure
to battle the eye frequently in cold water
as soon as, and for some time after, the
irritating substance has been extracted.

WoMAN's LovE.-A French woman will
love her husband if he is either witty or
chivalrous; a German woman, if he is
constant and faithful; Dutch woman,
if he does not disturb her ease and COM
fort too much; a Spanish woman, if he
wreaks vengeance on those who incur her
displeasure; an Italian woman, if he is
dreamy and poetical; Danish woman, if
he thinks her native country is the
brightest and happiest on earth; Rus
sian woman if he despises all Westerners
as miserable barbarians; an American, il
he has plenty of money.

A STRANGE PLACE FOR PETs.-Two
years ago George Bidwell, the noto-
rious Bank of England forger, was
transferred to Dartmoor Prison. Soon
after he was apparently seized with
paralysis of the lower limbs, and has
ever since been an inmate of the
infirmary. Lately new governor was
appointed to Dartmoor, who was skeptical
as to the genuineness of Bidwell's illness.
The other day, therefore, the prisoner
was ordered to get up and dress, but pos
itively refused; thereupon he was carried
down to cold cell and left there I'M
clothed until he chose to dress. Within
an hour he jumped up and put on his
clothes, and evidently q perfect cure had
been effected, but when he was being
stripped curious discovery was made.
Beneath his armpits were found . tame
mouse and rat. These he confessed he
had caught in the in6rmary and had pet
ted and fed with crumbs for many months.

The Agent and the Dutchman.

1t is a smart agents business to know
land be able to give very gibly) all the
reasons why q customer should buy; but
the smartest agent sometimes meet hard
heads, who can answer as fast as he can
argue:
A young man, whose business it was
to sell railroad guides to any one who
would buy them, found Jefferson Avenue
clothing dealer sitting in an arm chair
in front of his door, and after kindly
salute the agent handed out one of his
guides and said
There is the handiest little book in the
world; it contains the name, timetable
and route of every railroad in this coun-
try"
II neffer puys no such kind Of books"
replied the dealer, us he glanced through
it.
"But you want the book, my dear sir.
No traveller can get along without one Of
these guides"
IL don't care to guide no railroad" said
the dealer, shaking his head and turning
away.
Hold on now-just look through it
once. Suppose, for instance, that you
want to go to New Orlesnsa"
81 shall neffer 60 there SO long as am
born"
swell, suppose you want to go to Oma-
ha?"
''Den l don't CO."
"What do you do when you want to go
to Chicagol" asked the persistent agent.

"Well. suppose you had to go; wouldn't
you have to look ut q railroad time table

mo, sir. should 60 down ply der de-
pot, get on der train, puy some apples off

go, and minds my own business"
The agent had no further argument to
advance-Detr0it Free Press.

PRESIDENT SEELyE the other day In
his speech at the Congregational Festi
val in Boston told how at Calcutta he
was the guest Of a cultivated Hindu
gentleman, on the occasion of brilliant
social festival.
"But among them all no females were
present. We were welcomed very cor
daily by the host, who was very cult
waited man, judge of the high court at
Calcutta, who spoke English as we'll as
did, but who was, with all his culture, a
dcvout participator in this service OF
idolatry. In the course Of our converse
ton, asked him why he did not take
his wife out with him when he went to
ride upon the Madam (the Madam being
superb driveway in Calcutta, where at
the close of each day the wealthy resi-
dents, with magnificent equipages. are
seen, but among whom no woman of the
better class would ever appear with her
husband) His reply was at once: She
does not wish to go.' Which suppose
was the literal truth. She had not
thought that it was possible for her to
appear in public with her husband, and
no Hindu would think Of such thing"
'She does not wish to go" to the polls
is Lot a conclusive argument against fe-
male suffrage.-7he Independent.

The Colusa (Cal.) San of Jan. Goth.
tells the following story: "Last Satur-
day Master John Williams, aged Is,
was out hunting near home, on Elk
creek, when he ran across panther and
gave him the benefit of the contents of
his rife. The panther made off, and
the young man loaded up again and gave
him chase, getting in another shot on
him. This time, however, the panther
got out of his sight, but he could see
from the blood that he had been hit.
He went home and dreamed all night,
of course, of fighting panthers with a
grizzly or two thrown in to make it in
teresting. Next morning, bright and
early, he gathered his gun, determined
on finding that panther. He got on
the blood, which he traced into hollow
log. He fired into the log. and then got
an ak and cut the panther out, finding
him still alive, but he finished him up
and dragged his trophy in triumph
home. An inspection showed that both
balls of the previous evening had gone
through the panther's lungs. He was
an immense fellow, measuring seven
| feet from tip to tip"

THE HERONs OF ELMwOOD.

Warm and still is the summer night
As here by the rivers bank wander;
While overhead are the stars and white
The glimmering lamps on the hillside yonder.
Silent are all the sounds of day;
Nothing hear except the chrp of crickets,
And the cry Of the herons wingng their way
Ger the poets house in the Elmwood thckets
Call to him, herons as slowly you pass
To your rOosts in the haunts of the exed thrushes
Sing him the song of the green morass
And the tides that water the weeds and rushes.
Sing him the mystical song of the hern
And the secret that battles our utmost seeking
For only a sound of lament discern,
And cannot interpret the words you are speaking.
Sing Of the air, and the wild delight
OF wings that uplift and winds that uphold you
The joy of freedom, the rapture of fight
Through the drift of the floating msts that enfod you.
OF the landscape lying so far below,
With its towns and rivers and desert places;
And the splendor of night above, and the glow
or the limtess, blue ethereal spaces.
Ask him If songs of the Troubadours,
Or Of Minnesnger in old black-letter,
Sound in his ears more sweet that yours,
And If yours are not sweeter and wilder and better.
Sing to him, say to him, here at his gate
Where the boughs of the stately elms are meeting
Some one hath fingered to mediate,
And send him unseen this friendly greeting
That many another hath done the same
Though not by a sound was the silence broken;
The surest pledge of deathless name
Is the silent homage of thoughts unspoken.
-LongtellOU.

the English sailors on the Alert, in the
Arctic regions, was in March, the ther-
mometer on the fourth going under sew
enty degrees below zero. This was too
much even for the dogs, who were usu-
ally tolerably comfortable out of doors,
and they walked about lifting their feet
like cat on hot bricks, while one of
them was frozen to the foe by his tail.
On February 4th there occurred sud-
den change of forty-fve degrees in a
morning, the thermometer rising to one
degree below zero. The Esquimaux
stand the coldest weather usually as
we'll as the dogs in the days of lowest
temperature they were working outside
the ship with naked hands and said they
felt no cold. 1t would seem rather idle
to attempt to acclimate Americans to
that region, when the Esquimaux are
perfectly able to occupy the country and
eat up all it produces.

TELL Your WIFE.-If you are in any
trouble or quandary, tell your wife-that
is if you have one-all about it at once.
Ten to one her invention will solve your
difficulty sooner than all your logic. The
wit of women has been praised, but her
instincts are quicker and keener than
her reason. Counsel with your wife, or
your mother, or sister, and be assured
light will flash upon your darkness.
Women are too commonly adjudged ver-
dant in all but purely womanish affairs.
No philosophical students of the sex
thus judge them. Their intuitions, or
insights, are the most subtle, and if they
cannot see cat in the meal, there is no
cat there. I advise man to keep none
of his affairs secret from his wife.
Many home has been happily saved,
and many fortune retrieved, by mans
full confidence in his wife. Woman is
far more seer and prophet than man,
if she be given fair chance. AS
general rule, wives confde the minutest
of their plans and thoughts to their
husbands. Why not reciprocate, if but
for the pleasure of meeting confidence
with confidence? [ an certain no man
succeeds so well in the world as he who,
taking a partner for life, makes her a
partner of his purposes and hopes. What
is wrong of his impulse or judgment she
will check and set right with her almost
universally right instincts. And what
she most Graves and most deserves is
confidence, without which love is never
free from shadow.
