Trencher.Mates.

In SIX weeks 1 was as much at home as If l had been Mohammedan all my life. l formed friends, had little tiffs and Jealousies with my companions in the hoIsehold-we all having the same Wterests-and even eating out of the same plates, without offering to bite. though the disposition to do so is so strong as to be barely under control. Darwinites may safely take my word for Ihls fact, and are at liberty to make use Jf 1t as startling analogy. My tren- 'her-mates were blind Moulvi (Doctor of Diyinity) and a gentleman with onlv two fingers on bis right hand, the only one with which q Mohammedan may take food. 1 had, with infinite pains. worked this myself, thinking I would stand q better chance but the first time sat down l found 1 had immensely un- 3crrated my friends abilities, for I nev-
 saw two men with such an alarming 'apacity for curry and rice, or who showed such extraordinary skill at put ting 1t away. At first 1 was little fas- tidlous, and had father . prejudice ill aTor Of not seeing greasy black hand
 cratclLng merrily among my food. I
 ld not seem to enjoy It as much as I
 u9ht; however, 1t was only prejudice which l had to overcome. l began by imagining lines drawn over the dish,
 eparating corner of it to myself, and operating inside these bounds. This soit of thing did not last long the two fingered gentleman's two long fingers would come angling along through my rice wall before I had got my third fist tul swallowed, or the Moulvi's skinny hand would wave like mesmeric pass over the dish, scatter grains of rice that had stuck to his fingers from the last mouthful over it, and then alight on pny most meaty morsel, a piece I had per haps had my eye on from the first but 1t would have shown greedy haste on my part to have taken it so early in the play. No, hadn't chance with these two thieves, for they got away tive-sixths of the mess every meal, and with such grace, too. "Bless you," they would ,ay, "how little you eat, Mohampled Amin " as they shared the last mouth ful between them. Visit to Mecca" /" Ke0ne.

The Parsees of Bombay.

Seeing for the first time hosts of men going through the streets wearing what looked like section of stovepipe glazed and then dotted all over with inhnitesi- nal gilt specks, said stovepipes minus a rim and the back bent dowr toward the front as if intended to be used as a whistle in an emergency, the natural im- pulse is to shout with laughter and it IS only when this " shocking bad hat IS understood to be the badge of their persecution, their cross put upon them in derision, which they have carried gladly and proudly, despising the shame for faiths sake and 80 elevated to the dignity of a crown, we bend before 1t in respectful reverence. The Parsees are immensely rich and powerful, no matter whether that wealth was acquired by in- herltance, by frugaiity or commerce. Splendid and luxuriant carriages drawn by two, and not infrcquentiy four, blood ed Arabian horses, with Q syce or foot man running on at the head of the coach, roll through the streets and throng the founder CT quay, where the band plays at sunset, and usually from among the cushions rises the gloomy spire oi the Parsee's improbable hat, much to the disappointment of the rounder, 7 who has gazed earnestly expecting that no one short of Viceroy or Governor General would turn up out of such splen- did surroundings.
 But the penance of peculiar dress Is carried to such an extreme by the malt sex that the females have nothing to do but array themselves like the lilies of the field 1; clothed in silks and satins whose siken and gold embroidery emit sheen which fairly dazzles Western eyes; load ed a'ith jewels, festooned with strings ot pearls, arms weighed down with bangle s and legs covered with silver anklets nearly to the knee, yelled in gold or siI- yer gauge, shod in sandals of satin which disdain the soil of the streets, they walk or sit beside their husbands, the realiza- tion of ell ones early dreams of Oriental splendof. Even the children are clothed ill embroidered silks and laden with ban gles, till one is forced to conclude that 1t IS only upon reaching mans estate that one IS permitted to wear the dress which gives him his peculiar place among the religious people of the Eastern world. .-Sprinafeld Rcpu6!ican.

Mailer Sca:t,s Kindness.

Sir Walter had then lost his old vivac- ity, though not his simple dignity; but for one moment during the course of the evening he rose into animation, and it happened thus There was talk among the party of an excursion which was to be made on the following day, and, dur ing the discussion of the plans, Miss Scott mentioned that two elderly maiden ladies living in the neighborhood were to be of the number, and hinted that their company would be bore.
 The chivalrous kndliness of hor faith CTS heart V as instantly aroused. II cannot call that good breeding" he said, in an earnest and dignifed tone-a re- huke which echoed the old-fashioned teaching on the duties nf true politeness he had heard from his mother half {. century before.-Good Words.
