An Arabian Slave Girls Mar

From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philade phia Press.
A Turkish official of high rank-he
was bey-had long been a favorite OF
the khedive at Cairo, for they had been
educated together in France. This Off
cial was, therefore. great deal around
the palace, and it occurred to the khe-
dives mother that she would like tc
marry off a favorite child of the harem
to gallant officer in receipt of large pay.
The hey was summoned by the khedive
and told that his mother had found him
a wife-a wondrous creature. Ofcoursc ,
in the east, such an intimation to Il
subordinate is simply q command !;
yet, while the hey submitted, he
secretly chafed at what he
considered a gross imposition upon a
friend, a Turkish aristocrat, and an Of
ticer accustomed to European liberties
and customs. The marriage took place
and was a grand tete, costing many
thousand dollars. OF course the hey had
never looked upon her face until after
the nuptial knot was tied, and when he
did neither the countenance nor the own
er thereof was to his liking. Two years
went by, and the khedive's mother per-
ceived that the young wife was slowly
pining away. At last persistent
inquiry made the girl disclose that
from the very hour of the cere
mony the hey had declined to treat her
as his wife. The khedive's mother-a
perfect tigress-hastened to his highness
and demanded that the hey should be
put to death instantly. He could not
refuse. The hey was Immediately seized,
conveyed by guard 1900 miles to the
Soudan, and upon his arrival the gov
ernor general was ordered to strangle
him; but the governor general happened
to be the lifelong friend of the condem-
ned man and allowed him to live. Six
different orders were sent to kill him,
but not one of them was
obeyed. The writer was the
guests of this gentleman in the Soudan
for over two months, and these facts
came from his own Ii ps. A better educa-
ted man one seldom finds in the worlds
travel His books were Michelet, Victor
Hugo, About, Schiller, Goethe, Heine,
Irving, De Tocqueville and others. He
finally joined caravans with the writer
on journey of l 800 miles to Cairo, and
returned to Khantoum to become COVER
nor general in the very capital where
he had been sent to be put to death.
He has since been minister Of public
instruction in the service of the present
khedive.

A Flood of Welded Bliss.
From the Washington Sta,

From the Washington Star.
The city is full of bridal couples. There
hasn't been for several years such a
flood of newly-wedded bliss poured into
the city at one time, and the capital city
may be said to be wreathed in smiles.
There is nothing mean about a young
couple on wedding tour. They are
happy and they want everybody else to
be happy. They must have the best
rooms in the hotels, and as a clerk in an
uptown hotel told a Star reporter this
morning, "There is not vacant private
parlor in our house." The same is true of
other hotels. These young people have
their meals served in their own rooms,
and give so little trouble that hotel men
welcome their arrival with Joy and their
departure with signs. Mr.. Willard, of
the Ebbitt, always presents each bride
with handsome bouquet, and thus gives
the sanction of approval to the mar
riage.
As rule they 90 sightseeing. merely

Women in Iceland.

The Ieelandic women, says Our CONT
nent, have preserved the national char
acteristics of their dress for many humid
red years. That for ordinary wear, con-
sists of plain, wooden material, the waist
made somewhat like vest. From a
fiat cap, worn a little to one side, hangs
a black silk tassel, reaching to the Shout
der, bound in the middle by metal
band. The full dress is more elaborate,
the neck band, sleeves and 'front.'. down
to the waist, being ornamented with
beads and filigree work in gold and sill
yer, with broad belt of metal plates
hinged together, frosted and engraved,
and having pendent ornaments very
much resembling those worn in Ameri-
Ca to-day. The "Faldr" (headdress),
made ofstif white muslin, high and pro-
iecting in front, with white veil de
pendent from the back and reaching to
the ground, completes the costume of
an Icelandic lady attired for high social
occasions

Single Women.

A clever old maid once said that it
was far better to be laughed at because
you were not married than not to be able
to laugh because you were. There is
sound logic in that. It is well for wo-
m n to marry II she meets a good, true
man, who loves her, and whom she
loves, but if she be not suited,
better that she remain single. Many
old maids are helpful, loveaele and
sweet tempered, and fill their allotted
niche as acceptably as their married sis
tiers. Are they not to be more honored
than they would have been had they
merely married for home or
position? Our young ladies have
erroneous ideas upon this SUBJ
ject. They feel almost dis
graced if they have arrived at mature
age, and are not able to write MRS
before their names. Their whole am
bition is to get a husband, by nook or
crook, but get him somehow they must.
Consequently they take the first man
who offers himself, whether he really

Fruit and Flowers,

Fruit and flowers are the highest ar
tistic incentives in inanimate life. They
gather in themselves form and color,
which. among men, is flesh and embod-
led grace. After a sculptor has chiseled
rose he has inspirations that tell him,
here is perfection of shape; it does not
speak, and its breath is imperceptible,
but if the idea embodied here can be
made to speak and breathe by the WON
drous image of mans vision, then are
all the uses of life accomplished. More
than rose or marigold, or any flush of
color is the aroma of all silent life; it is
in that they appeal; it is their lang uage
and their ever mounting answer, as to the
why of love and live.

The Keenest Enemy Of Women.

Quiz says: GA mans foes are those
of his own household, and the keenest
enemy of women are women themselves.
No one can inflict such humil'atio. on a
woman as a woman can do when she
chooses; for if the art of high-handed
snubbing belongs to men, that of subtle
wounding is peculiarly feminine, and is
practiced by the best bred of her sex.
Women are always more or less antagon-
istic to each other. They are gregar-
ious in fashions and cumulative in fo!lies,
but they cannot combine; they never
support their weak sisters; they
shrink from those who are stronger
than the average; and if they would
speak the truth boldly they would con-
fess to radical contempt for each others
intellect, which, perhaps, is the real
reason why the sect of the ema ncipated
commands so small following. Half a
dozen ordinary men advocating 'eman-
cipation' doctrines would do more to-
ward leavening the whole bulk OF
womankind than any number of first
class women. Where they do stand by
each other it is from instructive or per-
sonal affection, rather than from class
solidarity. And this is one of the
most striking distinctions of sex, and
one cause, among others, why men
have the upper hand. and why they
are able to keep it,

Flowers in Winter.

Flowers, though beautiful in summer

have them, it is necessary to prepare for
the cold season. Where it is not con-

border plants, while geraniums, hello
tropes, chrysanthemums, ETC., may be
used within. Window boxes are good
places to bring out hyacinths, crocuses
and tulips. The bulbs should be planted
in November and put in the cellar for a
month, when they may be brought to

Four years since the American Agriculturist
recommended the use Of Bicarbonate Of Soda,
that is the common cooking soda, for most
kinds OF burns. Since then frequent expert
ments and observations, the opinion OF ply
sioians, and the best Medical Journals, have
more than confirmed all that was then said
As burns and scalds are always liable to occur
end as this remedy, though simple, has
proved to be extraordinarily useful, 1t should
be fixed in the mind Of every one. The Soda
and the oarbonic acid so readily set at liberty
from It, have anpsthetic, antiseptic, and dis
injecting properties-all highly beneficial for
burns. For slight burns, cover all the injured
parts with layer of powdered soda. For
deeper burns, but where the skin is not bro
ken, dip linen rags in solution made by
dissolving about one-third Of an ounce Of the
soda in pint Of water; lay the rags on and
keep them moist with the solution. For very
severe burns, followed by suppuration (for-
nation Of pus). apply the rags in the same
way, keeping them moist but frequently ex-
change them when dry for fresh ones, and
carefully wash of, with the soda solution,
any matter that has accumulated underneath,

son the blood. Leading European medical
journals give numerous instances in which,
by the above treatment, extensive burns Of
very severe character have healed speedily.

People that have hard struggle to obtain
the bare necessities of a comfortable living
too many, we are sorry to say, are farmers
are the sources from which the army of
swindlers that infests the country derives a
large share of its support. Thousands upon
thousands of dollars are every year drawn
from the poorer classes for advertised nos
trums which are not only useless, but, in
many cases, positively injurious. How many
fortunes have been made by selling to the un.
fortunate and needy sick five or six cents
worth of bottled slops and drugs for dollar,
we cannot say, but we believe they are not
few. Some of the proprietors of these ad-
vertised and bepuffed mixtures have become
millionnaires.
A new enterprise of this kind, but not ex-
act!y in the medicine line, has lately come to
early grief; if the proprietors have not al
ready made their fortunes they will have to
try another combination. Their advertise
ment appeared short time since in all the
papers, agricultural, secular and religious,
and was displayed in double columns with
conspicuous headings. A great discovery had
been made of a wonderful preservative agent
'ozone"-by which decay in both animal
and vegetable substances could be indefinite
ly postponed. Farmers were to be especially
blessed by this new method of keeping for
ever sweet their meats and vegetables, and
the benevolent possessors of the great secret
would allow us to share portion-at least,
sell us package of ozone for only SO. The
somewhat ungrateful though still conscien-
tious editor and publisher of the Springfield
Homestead, after having admitted the adver-
tisement, had the curiosity to send for
package of the new and wonderful preserva,
tive, and place it in the hands of a chemist
for analysis The result showed that the
"ozone, put up and sold at 81. 90, was moth
ing but birthstone and charcoal, costing about
five cents package
Prof. Mayr, the chemist to whom the pack
was submitted for analysis, says:
Pure ozone could probably not be pre-
pared cheaper than $50 pound, while the
ozone from Ohio costs to the maker who
produces it by an entirely new process, not
more than sc apound, while he sells il for 50
pound.
But is there anything good in it? Are all
its claims humbug? Certainly not. but ali
good effects of burning birthstone for pre-
serving were known thousands of years ago.
II birthstone burns in air, gas is formed,
called sulphurous anhydride by the modern
chemists, which destroy all germs of putre-
faction in meats, on the shells of eggs, on the
outside of fruit, in cider and wine barrels
but the Ohio chemists (?) greatly exaggerated
Its effects. The unpleasant taste and smell of
the birthstone are not as easily got rid of as
they claim, and as soon as they are got rid of
the preserved substance commences again
to decay. If any one wants to fumigate srti-
eles with birthstone he can buy it cheaper
(5c pound and just as active from any
druggist and the directions of the Ohio
ozone can be immediately applied without
supporting swindle."
