she has all the charms and g,aces

tastes and fingers dress her after

from her own country she brings

her face, with its clear cream COM
plsxien and half opened black

OF the superb ebony and brocade

with her tiny slippers not touch

Something About Figs.

The export season for the dried
fruits of the Levant is now in full
activity. In one fortnight lately
no fewer than 195, 900 barrels, cases,
bags, boxes, drums and baskets of
figs and raisins were shipped at
Smyrna. The fruit of the fig-tree
may be reckoned among the staple
foods of man for ages before cereals
were cultivated by any settled ag-
ricultural population. In the tenn
perate regions where it thrives
best, it fills the place of the banana
of tropical chimes, ard yields it's
fruits during several months of the
year. In Asia Minor, where the
tree Is found wild and where the
best figs of commerce are chiefly
grown, the fruit begins to ripen in
the end of June; and the summer
yield, which gives employment to
a large population, comes to mar
ket in immense quantities In
September and October. The trees
often give even q third crop, which
ripens after the leaves have fallen.
The best figs for drying come from
the valleys of the Mesnder and the
Ks stros, to the south of Smyrna,
where the trees are planted
regularly with care, and the ground
Is dug and hoed from four to six
times during the summer. The

Another Case Of Inspiration.

The pretty little village of Free
donia, Chautauqua county, is con.
vulsed by sensation of no ordina-
ry character. A young lady
named Ella Cummings has been
arrested for burglary and shop
lifting, and has confessed the
crime, and also that she had an
sccomplice in the person of George
Lockwood, a young man Of Buffa.
10. Miss Cummings is described
as about 10 years old, good looking
and highly educated, being q grad
uate and afterward teacher in
the Normal school at Fredonia.
She claims that she was inspired
to commit the different offenses,
and that she is not responsible for
the crimes, as she was the agent
Of an irresistible power, aud cam
not be convicted. L has been
learned that she is u strong advo.
cate and believer in spiritualism,
and claims she has frequently re.
ceived communications from the
spirit world. Lockwood Is about
the same age, has always been re-
garded as most exemplary young
man and was highly respected.
He has many sympsthizsrs, who
believe him to have been deceived
and misled by Miss Cummings.
Both parties have been arrested,
and their trial is awaited with the
liveliest Interest.

rns star Of Bssn'enen'.

In late issue of the HERALD
appeared the following article,
copied from an exchange, which
purports to give directions by
which the position in the heavens
Of the so.called "Star OF Bethle-
hemn can be readily ascertained:
The astronomers say that the
star Of Bethlehem, which blazed
out in the heavens in all its won.
drous beauty at the time of the
birth Of Jesus Christ, may be
looked for in our heavens now at
aoy time. This is the wonder
fui star which 10 said to have guild
cd the Magi to the stable where,
lying among the straw, wrapped
In his swaddling clothes, was the
Nasarine baby who was to govern
the world by His great love-a
king In Judes. The star OF Beth.
lehem was last seen in 1872. 1t
then shone out suddenly; where no
star was visible before, and was so
bright that it could be seen at
MONDAY. Then it gradually faded,
beco ming fainter and fainter every
day, assuming the most varied and
beautiful! huss as 1t did 80, until II
fiually disappeared altogether.
This wonderful star Is also be.
lieved to have been seen in the
years 1884 and 942. II you wish to
know where to watch for it's ap.
pearance, look some forty degrees
south west Of the planet Jupiter,

fords great facilities for the trans
port of the fruit, which formerly
had to be brought long distances
on camels, carrying about 500
pounds each. When the figs reach
Smyrna they are sorted by women
and packed in the boxes by men.
They are best when newly packed,
and as the months 60 by get drier
and harder in the warehouses or
grocer's shops. No one who has
not eaten them In the Levant at
the commencement of the season
knows what the best figs are like.
Fifty-four thousand camel loads of
four kintals each, or nearly $4,000
tons, had reached Smyrna on the
22d OF October this year, and the
production increases annually.
Fifteen years ago not more than
half that amount was recorded for
the whole sesson.

ages, kilograms, bills and other
papers relating to the busi-

Ewing, with which, Of course 1,
the former is unfamiliar and would
be very glad had he never known
anything. 1t is especially unpleas-
ant to be thus confounded with his
Colorado namesake, now that the
Robinson" mine has come to
grief. Quite number Of investors
who put their money In are natu-
rally anxious to know whether
they are ever likely to see it come
out, and General Ewing is not at
all ambitious to figure as the re-
spOnsible head Of the concern. The
most remarkable coincidence, ow-
ever, is that Thomas Ewing, of
Colorado mining fame, aud Thorn

THERE is no port or harbor in
the world which is independent
Of storms, and the late south-easter,
at Wilmington, was no exception
to the rule. 1t is years since we

have goneby the board; we don't
intend pun on her cargo, which
was lumber. In extenuation Of
this calamity it is well to bear in
mind the fact that all maritime
countries are liable to these occa.
sional misfortupes. Day by day,
month by month, year by year, we
have encountered no such misfor-
tune. We can afford to acknowl.
edge, once in years, the usual
maritime casualty.
