The sand was blowing heavily as we
entered the town of Keneh. We had
not been expected, so there was no
ceremonies, and we could wander as
we pleased. We dismounted under
green trees and went on foot to town,
our donkeys and donkey boys follow
ing after, We strolled through the
Bazaars, which meant that we crowded
our way through narrow, dusty pas
sages where the tradesman sold his
wares. The assortment was not varied
beads, grain, cloths, dates, pipes and
trinkets. We went into one house,
where the potter was busy over his
wheel.
In Keneh pottery is an industry.
The clay makes fragile, porous YES
sci, through which the water evapo-
rates in summer, acting as a filter and
water-cOoler. The vessels are grateful
in summer days, and there is quite a
trade in them between Keneh and
Lower Egypt. We had observed them
coming up in RATS of stone Jars, bound
together with boughs, or floating down
the stream, very much as the old fiat
boats used to Hoat down the Mlssis-
sippi to New Orleans, laden with West
ern produce. The jars kept their owr
buoyancy, and one raft would not re-
quire more than three or four men to
ply it. The potter was very sk'lful.
His child moistened the clay, and with
deft fingers he fashioned it into form
into graceful lines and curving shapes,
showing artistic sense and skill.
The cheapness of the work when
done wss amazing. The retail price
was 80 cents hundred for small lars
used for the table. We went into a
mill where the corn was grinding. It
was the same process that we read
about In the Bible--the horses goinp
round and round, the grain crushing
between an upper and neither stone and
running into pail. We went into one
of the houses eff the common people,
Hassan led the way and there was
evidently no intrusion. A morsel OF
backshcesh would atone for any inva-
sion of domestic privacy.

Lamoriaciere, the French general so
obnoxious to the patriotic Italians,
arrived one day hungry as a hawk at Il
small inn in the outskirts of Capua,
where he was received with the most
amable of smiles by the landlord. "To
table" was the word, and already the
host had brought in wine and macaroni,
while the fowls were roasting, when
one of fLNmOriciere' staff bending over
whispered to his chief, "Doat eat

from the near neighborhood Of the land

ever, did not stop to inquire into this.

the General ventured to follow him,

maraschinO, the host asked if he might
leave the table. "Leave table; why ?"
said the General, suspiciously. "TO
make out your Excellency's bill" "Do
so, but make it out here" The bill was
reasonable, nothing was left out, bnt
nothing was overcharged, and Lamori-
ciere, feeling immensely relieved, set
tied 1t, and was about to mount when
the landlord addressed him. "AllCw

A Phenomenal Young Shooter

Captain Bogardus promises to find a
rival for his shooting feats in his own
son Eugene, who, although but thirteen
years of age, handles the shotgun with
the dexterity Of an old sportsman. Eu-
gene is a guileless young country lad,
and up to week ago had never been
out of his native village of Elkhart, IL
linois. He has been habituated to the
smell of powder from babyhood, and
while yet creeper on all-fOurs would
mimic with the fire-poker his fathers
motions with the gun. At the age of
eleven he went into the field and he can
now knock over praire chicken or bag
a snipe without the eastado. He came
east with his father recently, and has
been exhibiting his shooting talents at
the Tivoli theatre in hitting glass balls
from a screened trap. Armed with u
straight bore Greener gun weighing
eight pounds, ten bore, using three
drachms of Dittmar powder and one
ounce of shot, the little fellow fired at
seventy-six single balls at fifteen yards
breaking all but two, and at eight dou-
BILE rises he missed but single ball,
making in all ninety-two shots and
three misses-a record which few pro-
fessional shooters could hope to beat
The balls were of the ordinary two and
one-half inch size; the gun was held as
per rule, below the elbow, while the
trap was hidden from view, and the dl-
recton of the ball not known to the
shooter until sprung. The boy intends
to follow shooting as profession.
