The Strength of the BedOuins.

A correspondent of Land and Water,
writing from Turin, describes the Be-
douins as possessed of great strength
He saysP "I have seen Bedouin put
a three -bushel sack of wheat upon his
head with his own hands and dance
about with it; but, of course, this was
an exception. The same man, however,
and his brother regularly lift two three
bushel sacks, fastened together, by their
mouths, on to the back of a camel squat
ting down; this weight is a full camel
load. Some of the women are very
strong, and carry immense loads. [
know one girl of 16 who carries on her
back three jars. of water weighing forty
pounds each up a steep hill about 4
quarter of mile to her husbands hut.
The Bedouin women lead very hard
lives indeed. From the earliest age they
begin to be useful. The younger chill
dren look after the cattle and donkeys,
of which each camp possesses generally
a good sprinkling of sorry specimens.
The older ones draw water, and bring it
often long distances on their backs /;
they grind the corn, they make and bake
the bread, cook all the food, generally
make and bake the pots and pans that
the former is cooked in, they milk the
cows, and make the butter by very te-
dious process-that is, by shaking the
milk in a goat-skin, which is suspended
from the roof of the hut, and under
which, in cold weather, fire of dry
cow-dung is lighted to raise the tenn
perature. Women frequently sit and
shake the goat-skin eight or ten hours
before butter comes.

AFTER ALL.

The apples arc ripe in the orchard,
The work OF the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
in the blood of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the erandsfre
sits, pale, in his easy chair.
While "A gentle wind OF twilight
l1ays with his silver hair.
woman Is knecling beside him;
iair young head is prest
In the first wild passion of sorrow
Against his aged breast.
And Tar from over the distance
The faltering echoes come.
Of the flying blast of trumpet
Ana the rafting roll OF drum.
Then the grandsire speaks, in a whisper,
The end no man can see:
But We gave him to his country,
And we give our prayers 20 thee"
The violets star the meadows,
The rosebuds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard
The pink-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsfre's chair is empty,
And the cottage Is dark and still,
There's anameless grave on the battle field
Aud new one under the hill.
And pallid, fearless woman
By the cold hearth sits, alone;
And she old clock in the corner
Ticks on with a steady drone.

A Paris Paper on Edison.

the property of telegraph company,
which lodges him at New York in a SUI

footing, and pays him formidable sal

company has, in the dwelling of Eddi-
son, men in its employ who do not quit
him for moment, at table, on the street,
