Arab BeY.

Arabi Pasha, or Ourabi- Bey, as the
Arabs call him, is the son OF a promi-
nent parsonage in the province of Char.
kirch, N Lower Egypt, and il about
forty-fve years old, He received an
excellent education in military school
He early imbibed progressive ideas,
which he has never failed to
propagate among his country.
men. After leaving the mill.
tary school he entered the army and re-
manned for some time in the ranks,
Although Ismail Pasha patronized him
he did not advance above the rank gof
major under that ruler On three diff
ferent occasions he endeavored to obtain
the rank OF hey or colonel, but Ismail
replied to the person advocating his
cause: "1f L create him a colonel, he
will create revolt in the regiment un-
der his command in less than six
months" The truth of lsmail's
words was soon made apparent to
his son and successor, Tewfik, who
shortly after his accession pazetted
Arab colonel. Prior to the I'd of
February, 1881, the date of the military
troubles which resulted in the present
conflict, he commanded the Fourth
regiment OF the infantry guard. That
Arab is man of great determination is
evinced by what he has accomplished
ever since the beginning of the year.
Then he was considered to be the most
important factor in Egypt, but not even
his warmest partisans would have proph-
esied that in few months he would
venture to defy openly the whole
of Europe and carry on his work of dis
organization under the very guns of a
hostile fleet, especially dispatched for
the purpose of overawing him. Not a
little of his power is due to his orsltori.
cal ability. He is scholar and is
learned in the arts OF war. He is loved
by his soldiers as a bold and fearless
Leader, and has the good will of the
Moslem priesthood, which accounts for
the sultan's hesitancy to take active
measures against him, even if he be in
lined so to do.

Woman i'm the SD ddIe,

The lady should so sit upon the horse
that her weight will ia perpendicularly

ly to the front, her shoulders drawn
back, and her elbows held to her sides.
She will permit her body, from the hips
upward, to bend with the notions of
the horse, in order that she may pre-
serve her balance. The reins are to be
held in the manner prescribed for men,
the hand in front of the body, and in q
line with the elbow. The whip is to be
carried in the right hand, with the
point toward the ground. The horse
should never be struck with the whip
upon the head, neck or shoulder. To
apply the whip upon those parts will
teach him to swerve, and render him
nervous at the emotions of the rider. In
lady's hand the whip simply takes the
place of spur for the right side. The
horns of the saddle, the superfuous one
at the right being dispensed with,
should be Of such length and curva.
lures as will suit the rider The right
leg will hold the upright horn close
in the bend in the knee. by such q
pressure as the action OF the horse or
other circumstances will dictate. The
left foot will be thrust into the stirrup
to the ball of the foot, and the heel
will, as a rule, be carried down; but
when the heel is elevated the upper part
of the left knee should find support in
the side horn, and for that end the
st'rrup-leather will be given such q
length as will permit this. By the
grasp given by the elevation of the left
knee from the stirrup and the embrace
upon the upright horn by the right leg
the rider will have as strong seat as
her strength can afford, and with
proper balance she will not be likely to
find horse that will unseat her.

Garlbaldi's Mother.

The chamber in which we're laid out
the remains of Garibaldi was filed with
flowers, but Otherwise presented an ap-
pearance of great simplicity. His body
rested on a narrow iron bed, with the
head propped up with pillows, ana faced
a window that looked seaward There
was about the face an expression OF
calmness, but the hands we're those OF q
mere skeleton. On the wall above his
head hung portrait of his mother an
aged woman wrapped in a crimson
shawl, with countenance at once sweet
and noble Garibaldi's veneration for
her was something out of the common.
He felt remorse at having been a source
of anxiety to her in his adventurous
lie, and believed that her prayers had
saved him from ill-oonsequences fol-
lowing his temerity on the field of bat
tie and in storms at sea. He ascribed
his own tenderness for those who we're
in trouble and oppressed to her ex-
ample.

The Farmers Thanksgiving.

The harvest field are stripped OF grain;
The late-sown corn is shocked in dun,
And husked beneath chilly SUM-
The ragged stubble checks the plain.
The hills are desolate and cold,
The naples stand in grim array,
And thro the forests mufhed gray
The winds of heaven strike the void.
Yet while the harvest splendors fail,
The grain is sold, the barter made,
And work, and care of crop, and trade,
Are put aside with plow and fail.
The bins are filed, the barns are stored.
The orchard robbed of scanty fruit,
And in the garrett, cold and mute,
The thrifty squirrels share the hoard.
Altho' the drought was long and sore,
And scorched the field beside the road
Till half the crop was left unhoed,
Nor aftermath repaid the mower;
Tho half the rye was winter-killed,
And here the wheat was struck by blight,
Yet all is good in heavens sight,
And still the waiting barns are filled.
And still, thro' everv empty mood,
Beyond the moments harsh surprise,
At last truer knowledge lies
The sense of some essential good.
So, since the harvest moon has waned,
By yonder shining crescent's edge,
Our hands are struck upon pledge,
And much is lost-and more is gained
The pilgrim seed has taken root,
Despite the land go hard and gray,
And, lowered to this Thanksgiving Day,
Shall yetebring forth abundant fruit.

WhalebOne.

Aside from it's oil yielding proper
ties, the whale also serves mans needs
bv furnishing him with whalebone
This was once an important article of
commerce, but the supply and deman d
have for many years been diminishing.
The fact is the whale does not live 'in
the North Sea" as much as he once did,
and the decline in the New Bedford oil
business is reflected in measure in the
whalebone industry. As the supply
fell off substitutes for the srticle were
discovered. Steel takes the place of
whalebone in umbrella manufactures,
and the latter now finds its chief uses
in the making of whips and corsets.
The preliminary preparation OF
whalebone is about as follows: When
the raw bone is received the hair is
first cut from the slabs. These are
then soaked in water until they become
soft, after which all the gum which
adheres to them is removed by scrap
ing. They now go to steam box,
where workman straightens them
with knife. After polishing they are
ready to be worked up into different
forms. There are certain places where
it is probable that no known material
, answers as we'll as whalebone, and it is
said that fortune awaits the inventor
who devises an efficient substitute for
it. Experiments, looking to this end,
have been made with rawhide.
Since the deca3ence of the hoop
skirt fever the price of whalebone has
declined very materially, but the price
was at its zenith in the last century
The Dutch formerly obtained $1,000 ,
ton for whalebone, but since 1853 il
has never commanded such high figures
In 1918 the price was $3.50; in 1884,
from $3.50 to $545; and in 1S41 it ranged
between 81 ,OSO for Southern to $3,55(
for Northern bone. We learn that il
the upper jaw of the whale are thin
parallel lamin@, vary ing in size from
three to twelve feet in length, and tha
these are what are known as "whale
bone" The quality which commando
the highest price is above six fee
in length, and is called ''size bone" i
is said that the Greenland whale fur
nishes the best bone. From the moutf
of these huge creatures from 2,OOo t.
5000 pounds are often taken.
