Granville Murray, in new Round About
France" paper, tells how Paris Is washed.
starched and ironed every week. He says
that French laundresses have an awkward
trick ofputting on tho fine linen Of their lady
customers to deck themselves withal on fee-
tive occasions; and this they do especially at
the yearly festival OF washerwomen which
takes place on the Thursday OF Aid-Lent.
On that day the laundresses Of each wash
house elect Gueen-generally the prettiest
girl whe washes and irons in the quarter;
she In turn dominates king, some fascinat-
ing young man who drives a laundry cart,
and the pair being tricked out in their best
are driven about all day in q carriage and
pair, followed by a gallant procession OF other
and washermen in vans, carts
and gigs Of every description. In the even
ing there is . grand dinner, for which two or
three lauoirs club together, and the proceed
ings wind up with q ball. During Mi-Careme
week ladies have often to complain that their
smartest petticoats, silk stockings and laced
are missing, for the queens
get themselves up regardless OF other peo-
pies expense, and are never 80 pleased az
when they can find among their customers
bundles the materials for a snowy bridal cos
tune, all white and fresh.

It is little green island not far from Cairo !;
1t is dotted with cleaning white houses, In the
midst OF an immense glittering desert bor-
stand lofty palms overladen with golden and
purple dates. Upon the horizon rise the pyr-
amids Of Giseh Abusir Sax Rabrah and Da-
chur tn sad, solemn majesty. The women Of
Egypt look upon the place as q sort Of Eden
where they can purchase all sorts OF bljoute-
RE, and Partisan nothings, and spend their
pocket money as recklessly as their more
civilized sisters across the waters. Butte re-
turn to the marriage. Through the courtesy
OF Hassan Bey, was wedding guest He
escorted me to the door OF the brides house,
and there left me. Placing my right hand
over my left upon my breast, according to the
custom, entered. and the woman who guard
ed the door conducted me to the room
prepared for on me- fin finished he'd my toilet
after my entrance, the bride, with all her at
PENDANTS, came from the bath and entered the
room. It was q brightly colored picture.
First came the slaves and servants Of the
house; In their right hands they held wax
candles, In their left green basin, which con-
tanned henna for coloring the nails; the bride
followed with her guests. She wore O creamy
embroidered silk with violet-blue overdress
that was fastened at the waist by girdle set
with diamonds; the little arched feet were
encased In pearl embroidered slippers; the
little cap upon her head set with precious
stones, and her long black shining hair rippled
over her shoulders, half concealed by O gold
tissue veil. When she was seated, they paint
ed her nails, the palms Of her hands, her feet
an orange-yellow, and then bound them In
white linen. After this operation she retired
from sight, but the guests remained, drank
coffee, ate CONNECTIONS and cakes, smoked
dainty CIGARS ard watched the dance Of the
bayaderes, listened to the songs Of the Almahs,
and chartered as only a crowd OF women can
do over the approaching wedding. The next
day, the day of the wedding, the bride was
led under purple and gold canopy to the
house OF the bridegroom. We followed and
went up the stone stairs to the vestibule OF
the harem. Here coffee and fine connections
were served. Then the brides guests re-
turned to her home to await the arrival OF the
bridegroom's mother, who leaves the house
when he enters to claim his bride. And this
ends the ceremony.

road for S2s, OOO. 900, upon which the
government pays no interest, but re-
ceives It. The other bill will make
about 14O0 miles of road, all In the
hands OF single mammoth corpora
ton, for which the government Is bound
for 81, 1897 900 annually for fifty years,
making In all 500. 1916 900.
One bill will employ hands enough to
make $500 miles Of road in six years
etc., enough to equip 1t. These roads
are in different sections Of the coun-
try and lead to several important ports,
both Atlantic and Pacific. The other
bill will only employ labor and the pur-
chase OF supplies to about half the
amount.
One bill Is plain and simple in It's pro-
visions and leaves nothing for litigation
or dispute. The other bill constitutes
the United States the agents, without
compensation, to sell the lands of the
Texas and Pacific Company, and has
provisions about earnings" met pro-
ceeds." ETC.. which have led US once into
trouble and will be sure to do 80 again.
One bill provides for q speedy wind
ing up Of all questions between the gov
eminent and the road. The other bill
will make q chronic soro-will require
annual legislation for fifty years, in all
probability.
One bill will end the wrangle about
the army, dissipate all apprehension OF
war from border troubles, and attract
Mexican trade through many channels
along the Rio Grande. The other bill
does not approach Mexican territory
till it nears Eel Paso, and OF course will
not afford such means Of reaching
Mexico.
Let Congress and the people decide
between the two, and invite their care
full and earnest consideration and what
ever be their decision, will abide by 1t.
