CAIRO, EGYPT

4 Ore Of the greatest charms OF this
cosmopolitan city is its street life. II
lis thoroughly Oriental in character
| II is q moving panorama Of all nation
laIities, creeds, languages and cos
tunes, with strong preponderance
lof the Oriental and semi-barbarous Ell
ement. 1t is a perpetual carnival
which defes description. The Bonle.
Yards Of Paris. Regent Street Lon
dom, and Broadway, New York;, can
not compare with il. You may enjoy
the spectacle quietly sitting on the
veranda Of Shepherds hotel, but still
better III the old town, especially the
Muskee. The streets are alive with
gaily dressed men and vailed women,
water.carriers, peddlers OF all kinds OF
wares, braying donkey, wrowling
camels, barking dogs, horses and car
riages--all jostling against each 9TH
er in endless confusion.
In Mnskee the crowd is so dense
that it seems impossible to get
through, and the noise SO loud that
You cannot hear your own voice. Ev-
cry carriage is proceeded by one or
more feet runners, crying to clear the
way. The mosques are covered with
carpets or rugs, for kneeling ard pros
tration, and pulpit or reading-desk;
but there are no seats. In entering a
mosque you may wear your hat, but
must take off your shoes or put on
slippers.
Slippers or sandals of straw are al
ways provided at the entrance OF the
mosques, and must be paid for. Wo-
men are seldom seen in the mosques.
The Koran does not command them
to pray, and some Mohammedan phil
osophers doubt whether women have
souls. Yet they are necessary for the
sensual bliss Of paradise, where the
believer is allowed eighty
slaves and seventy-two
wives beside those he had in this life,
If he chooses to keep them. The pi-
Gus Mohammedan is very devout, and
performs his devotions five times a
day.

How to Make a Poultice.

pr. Brunton, in Braiu, the new Lon don periodical, gives the following prac- tical hints on this subject 1.-The con- mon practice in making poultices of mixing the linseed meal with hot water, and applying directly to the skin, is quite wrong; because if we do not wish to burn the patient, we must wait until great portion of the heat has been lost. The proper method is to take flannel bag (the size of the poultice required), to fill this with the linseed poultice as hot as it can possibly be made, and to put between this and the skin second piece of flannel so that there shall be at least two thicknesses of flannel between the skin and the poultice itself. Above the poultice should be placed more fan nel, or piece of cotton wool, to prevent it from getting cold. By this method' we are able to apply the linseed meal boiling hot, without burning the pa tient, and the heat, gradually diffusing through the flannel, affords grateful sense of relief which cannot be obtained by other means. There are few ways in which such marked relief is given to abdominal pain as by the application of poultice in this manner."-Health and Home.

The MisSissinni Ietties.

A letter from Port Eads, La, escribes the great work performed by Captain Eads in widening the channel at the mouth of the Mississippi by building walls of willow mattresses covered with broken stone. The walls or jetties stretch out into the gulf in two long wave-washed lines, and between them the turbid current of the great river dashes far out to sea- projecting it's mud dy waters through the blue brine be- yond the reach of the eye. Between the jetties there is a trustworthy depth of twenty-three feet at average flood tide, and heavily-laden ocean steamers of over 5000 tons burden pass out and across the bar without impediment This paragraph from the letter explains the nature of the work done:
 Take a three-tined fork, bend two of the tines outward and split one at the end and you will have a pretty good representation of the enormous natural mud jetty which the Mississippi river has constructed in the course of centur- ies and projected thirty miles out into the gulf The right hand tine will be Southwest pass, the middle one South pass and the ends of the split tine pass fOutre and Northeast pass. Imagine the handles and tines to be mud banks, covered with reeds and elevated about six feet above the level of the gulf and that the river flows in a deep trough be- tween these banks, and you will get notion of the peculiar topography of the Mississippi's mouth. The action which formed these natural letties still goes on, prolonging them and depositing bars in the sea outside their mouths. Now, the plan of Captain Eads was to do in three or four years what the river would do in as many centuries-prolong one of the prongs of the fork out to the further edge of the bar. By so doing he pro- posed to accelerate the current and force the water to take up sediment in stead of depositing it, and thus deepen its own bed and scoop out channel over the bar. To prevent the forma- tion of new bar he depended on the littoral currents, and if these did not suffice he knew that new formation could not be troublesome for at least half 3 century and that his jetties could be prolonged if necessary.

Life in Brazil.

A lady sketches her life in Brazil in Lappiacott's. She says the principal dish at dinner in Pernambuco is fresh beef and vegetables-potatoes which come from Portugal, gumbo, cabbage and two or three bananas, all boiled together. It is very nice, and the blacks can make it and emp of coffee to perfection. Everything-fruit, vegetables, fuel and cotton-is brought into town on poor, miserable horses, who live chiefly on molasses and water, preferring it to more solid food. The owner drives his horse into the yard early in the morning-for marketing is over by nine o'clock-asks you twice as much as you can make him take, and finishing the bargain, grabs his beast by the tail, puts his foot upon the animals hind knee, mounts and rides off. The baker brings at five o'clock in the morning a bag filled with delicious bre Id, made of Trieste and American flour mixed. Milk is sold in quart bot ties for sixteen cents each. The cook goes for the choicer articles needed dur ing the day; !" the boy" which means a negro servant of any age, betakes himself to the grocery for the fuel for the day. breakfast is eaten at 9.30, beginning with little fruit
 The kitchen has door, possi bly window, but no chimney; if the door is too small to let out the smoke, hole is made in the roof. There is brick oven in one corner, table, chair, few saucepans, bowls, plates, knives and forks-no strainer, gridiron or modern utensil. The brick oven is built solidly upon the tile floor, and is used for wash ing and baking A horizontal iron plate is fastened to the back of it, with five holes of different sizes for saucepans. It is q very economical arrangement, be- cause the wood can be used in accord ance with the amount of heat required. The long sticks are kindled and pushed forward under the plate as far as ther is need of it, and pushed in as fast as it is burned. When charcoal is used, one place is kindled, or as many more as are required. There are no towels; the sun does the drying; the tile floors, the dishes and the natives are washed, but left to dry. Scorpions and centipedes abound,
 Itthey are not worse than snakes and bnes. A little ammonia or carbolic acid destroys all i'll effects. And as the writer is anxious to go back to this delightful and, it is evident tAat the fact of her

Too Fond of Music.

. Captain Tyson, the Arctic explorer, once espied an ookjook (seaD who had come up through hole in the ice to breathe. The explorer beckoned to 6 companion to bring gun as quietly as quietly as possible and shoot the crea- ture. Meanwhile. the captain whistled a plaintive tune as musically as he could. The ookjook was so charmed by the pleasant sound that he fingered and listened until the gun came and he was killed.
 Now, it is said that all seals are fond of sweet sounds, whether made by in struments, sung, whistled. or, some times, merely spoken, and that they will keep still and listen, giving 8 hunter time to come within shooting distance.
 But perhaps there is slight mistake, and the seal is only watching for good chance, while he grumbles to himself something like this,
 "Pshaw! Only let me catch that troublesome fellow, and I'll soon put an end to his noise !''-" Jack-iu-Me- Pulpit" |" ID S. NichOlas.

A Hizh-spirited Dog.

Sentry, 8 Newfoundland dog, was the the property of gentleman living in the island of Jersey, who contributes several anecdotes of his sagacity to Forest and tSa'cans:
 A widow lady, named Rowcliffe, a particular friend, residing short dis tance from us, was admiring the dog during morning call she being one of those to whom he had taken a particular fancy. She proposed that her cook should save all bones and remnants for Sentry, if they were sent for. On hear ing which, I stated that the dog could easily be trained to fetch his own pro- visions.
 My plan was approved of, but its practicability doubted. On the day agreed, I requested the servant to give Sentry bis own basket, and as we walked along, I told him several times:
 "Now, Sentry, remember Mrs. Row cliffe," 8 wag of his huge tail and wink of his keen eyes giving me to under stand, "All right, master!''
 Arrived at the house, rang the side door bell, which was opened by trusty Margaret, and having duly introduced her to my companion, explained my plan, which was that the dog should go every other day with his basket, and on his barking, he was to be admitted to receive her bounty.
 To this Margaret readily assented. On the second day, again dispatched the dog, telling him to go to Mrs. Rowcliffe, which he did, put down his basket, parked, was admitted, and shortly re- turned home with his booty.
 Though the animal knew that the con- tents of the basket were for him, he never presumed to touch morsel on the road On one occasion, when running up the steps, he upset the basket, and immediately collected the scattered frag- ments and replaced them.
 The owner of the adjoining lot being about to build a cottage, the masons ar rived one fine morning, and were obliged to mount the parti-wall to place their caffolding.
 This did not meet Sentry's approval, and he parked and growled at them most furiously. I told them not to notice him, and he would soon be quiet, but on no account to throw stones at him or annoy him in any way, as he would be sure to bite the man who did it when ever he met him.
 On my return to dinner, noticed that the dogs nose was cut, which I felt satisfied had been done by one of the masons. The following day, the mason passed the house on his return from din- ner.
 The dog was basking in the sun, on the front door porch, and seeing his enemy, he cleared the iron railings of the yard, seized the man by the throat, and pinned him against the wall.
 Fortunately, I witnessed the whole affair, and rushed to the rescue. The man was not hurt, but dreadfully fright ened, and admitted having cut the dogs nose with sharp stone.
 After that, he used to walk round quarter of mile, to avoid passing the house, going to and from his work.

Fashion Notes.

Spotted vails are no longer worn by fashionable women.
 Ribbon is to supersede the chatelaine this summer, it is said.
 Crochet buttons are more elegant than those of pearl or metal. Crystal beads will be used on fringes of all colors, this summer.
 Buttons in the pear and barrel shapes are used on garments trimmed with gimp. Black silk bonnets embroidered with jet will be worn for mourning this sum- mer.
 Satin folds for dress trimmings are lined with wigan and caught on with blind stitches.
 The underskirt of cloth costumes for spring may be finished. and fashionably finished too, by rows of stitching near the bottom.
 Wood buttons, hand painted in gold and colors, are sold as low as thirty five cents dozen. Decorative art has come down to cheap prices very quickly.
 
 pearance this season has a hand-crocheted heading and strands of crimped tape twist, and fine gimp tipped with little balls.
 Some princess overdresses arc adjusted by loops and buttons, so that they can be draped over silk skirts and worn as street dresses, and afterward used for wrap pers, if one please.
 Ladies who do not choose to pay for elaborate fringes and know that men will never detect the difference, sew plain silk fringes under the edge of their eapes and use no heading at all.

There is . good old English maxim that teaches us to believe every man honest until we know him to be a villain" American GUS tom seems to have reversed this law, and ap- pears to make every man n villain until he has proved himself an honest man. As with pco- pie, so with things. Every article placed in our markets can lay claim to popular favor upon intrinsic merit and value alone. Con- tinued popularity, therefore, is proof positive of intrinsic excellence. Dr. Pierces Family Remedies are far more popular to-day than ever before. The people have tested them and know them to be genuine remedies for the dis eases they are recommended to cure. The Golden Medical Discovery and Purgativc Eel lets are the best alternative, tonic and oathartic remedies that be used in chronic diseases of the stomach and liver. Tho worldwide popularity of the Favorite Prescription, q never-failing remedy for female diseases, would have alone secured to it's discoverer the fame he has richly won. Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy, ot which Dr. Pierce is also proprietor, is recommended by those who have tested its virtues a safe and reliable remedy for catarrh in its worst forms.

Dr. k. Y. Pierce, having acquired Il reputa- ton in the treatment of chronic diseases result ing in professional business far exceeding his individual ability to conduct, some years ago induced several medical gentlemen to associate themselves with him. the faculty of the Worlds Dispensary, the consulting department of which has since been merged with the h. valids' hotel. The organization has now been completed and incorporated under statute enacted blythe legislature of the State of New York, under the name and style of the Worlds Dispensary Medical Association.
 We clip the following from the Buffalo Express:
 A branch of the " Worlds Dispensary Medi- cal Association " is to be established ill London Eng, q step which the continually increasing European business of the Dispensary has been found to warrant, and next week Dr. B. T. Bedortha will sail tor the great metropolis named, to superintend the organization of the new institution. This gentleman has been for some four years associated with Dr. Pierce in position of responsibility, and is well qualified for the duty now entrusted to him. Hereto fore the foreign business of the Worlds Dis pensary has been transacted through the agency of prominent druggists, but it has as stunned such proportions as to require more di- rect care. pr. Bedortha will no doubt success fully carry out his mission being gentleman of excellent business abilities and most pleas ing address.
