The slipper bazar is about as narrow
as that of the gold and slversmiths, and
ALI manner of red and yellow slippers,
with queerest pointed toes, are offered
far sale. The manufacture OF the SIP
ners goes on in these little cubby-Loles:
One merchant | noticed had space OF
only three feet wide and eighteen inches
deep. and this is partly occupied by mar
row shelves for his goods. He has bare
lv room TO sit on his feet between the
side shelves The other bazars are not

wide. In the perfumery bazar may DC

merchants are admirable. Ihey urge

and seem to bestow unusual attention up
on travellers. But they are not to be
trusted as regards prices, and will take
double the real value of their goods, IL
the purchaser is not wide awake.

The Pope as an Eel-farmer.


How many people are there who know
that the pope is farmer? Such is the
fact, however, and there is reason to be-
lieve that his holiness makes very
good thing of it. Leo MI, goes in"
however, neither for the growing of GER
eals nor the raising of stock, but for the
breeding of fish. The lagoons Of COM
manchio are thus turned to profitable
USE Eels are the staple food, and sever
al tons of cooked eels are sent from the
lagoons every Lent. The fish come up
in immense shoals from the Adriatic,
and are fed in the lagoons on other fish
provided for them until they are nicely
fattened, when they are killed and
cooked in vast kitchen. The laborers
on these water farms dwell in barracks
built on an island. This il yet another
instance of the strange use to which land
may be put.

Where the water was cool and deep;
There were ieathery ferns 'twixt the messy

And gray was the old woll.sweep.
lie left his carriage alone;
Nor could coachman or HOFFMAN tell
Why the master stopped in the dusty road
To drink at the wayside well.
He swayed with his gloved hands
The well-sweep crealing and slow,
While from seam and scar in the buckets
side
The water FLASHED back below,
He lifted II TO tho curb,
And bent down to the buckets brim;
No turrow of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
He saw but farmers boy
As he stopped DER the brim to drink,
And ruddy and tanned was the laughing face
That met his over the brink.
The eyes were sunny and clear,
And the brow undimmed by care,
While from under the brim of tho old straw
hat
Strayed curls of chestnut hair
He turned away with sigh,
Nor could coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped in his ride that day
To drink at the wayside well.
