Turkish Justice in Palestine.

We went to one government build
ing in Ribo. A school, or D hospital,
or a post Office, did you guessp No, q
place of abode for those arrant thieves,
the Turkish custom-officers. AS we
neared the place I saw knave in
uniform come out of the place, stop a
passing donkey, take sack of grain
from its back, coolly appropriate it, and
give the man q parting kick. 1t was
toward the close of the day, and the
peasant was returning from his days
work with the hard-earned barley in a
sack on the donkey-about peck in
all, carefully thrashed.
'It is burning shame for you to do
that" said Mr.. Floyd in Arabic.
The man made some unintelligible
reply about the barley not having been
thrashed at the proper thrashing floor.
''But in any event you have no rig hit
to take more than one-teuth of the
whole, persisted Mr.. Floyd.
"But I must do something to teach
them BETTER" replied the man.
Such is Turkish justice in Palestine!
All the officials, hig Oh and low, belong
in the same category. We watched
after this incident, and saw many other
men and women arrested on their way
in the same manner, and similarly
robbed in the name of law. The poor
people have no one to whom to appeal.
Let them complain, and the prison
awaits them. Some believers in the
restitution of Palestine hopefully aver
that the curse is now being lifted
from the land. That the climate is
improving, that crops are increasing,
that there has been no fierce sorocco
for three years, and that the return of
the Jews betokens the fulfllment of
prophecy. While 1 fail to detect these
symptoms referred to, 1 can testify
that if they do actually exist, the Turks
will do what they can to make their
yoke harder to bear. Some of the
higher officials openly reply when you
point out to them the beneficial influ-
ence of railways and other public in
situations. "Well, but we don't want
the country to improve; we couldn't
hold it then. We can get most out of
it under the present order of things" y

Polygamous Economies.

The private home routine of po-
lygamous family is matter upon
which so much curiosity is constantly
expressed by my acquaintance that I
venture to say here what little I know;
but the reader must remember that
less than 10 per cent. of the voting
Mormon population of Utah are polyga-
mists.
The polygamist, as rule, has accu-
mulated some property and owns a
house before he takes a second and
successive wives, though sometimes he
begins by marrying two or three at
once. All of these marriages, how
ever, except the first, are made secret
ly by the church, and no record Of
them Is accessible.
In the city, at least, it is seldom that
the different wives share the same
quarters. In the country this is not SO
uncommon, but the natural unpleasant
ness follows in most cases. The gen.
eral method is to have large house,
the main part of which, perhaps, is
occupied by the first wife, and wings or
additions by the successive candidates
for marital honors. These large,
struggling, hotel-like houses are COM
mon in Salt Lake City, and mark
difference between it and q town of
small houses like Cheyenne, and most
other western villages. In many cases,
however. the husband sets up his wives
in separate homes, either side by side
or in different parts of the city. In
any case each has her own kitchen
garden. have in mind q wealthy dig
nitary of the church whom you might
easily have mistaken for the late Peter
Cooper and who is possessed of seven
wives. Each of these women have
some farming and garden ground of
her own and all are greatly devoted to
rearing bees. With the help of their
grown children they each raise large
amount of produce and honey annually.
The husband acts as their agent. He
hives their swarms of bees and charges
them for it; he renders special aid
when called upon and is paid for 1t; he
sells their crops and honey when it is
ready and credits each wife with her
due share. Most of them live in suites
of apartments under the roof of his
great house in town, but the first wife
has q beautiful farm of her own little
out of the city, to which she and her
children have retired, to end their days
in peaceful independence.
The way in which this old gentleman
has always arranged his domestic life
is reported to be thus: He had certain
rooms in his house where he kept his
bed, his wardrobe. his books, and saw
any visitors who called upon him. Here
he was a bachelor and here he stayed
every other day and night. On alter
nate days and nights he was the guest
of one or another of his wives in regu-
lar rotation, devoting the one day Tin
this case fortnightly) which was hers
to her society. OF course
this routine was not invariable, but for
the most part it was regularly fol-
lowed. Hdrper's magazine.

Buenos Ayres.

The immigration is enormous. though
the Italians are far the largest element.
The railways, too, are increasing, and
paving wonderfully; the Southern line
shares are ut y large premium now,
and the Bahia Blanca country will be
opened ND in few months by their
new branch. A town is springing up
there, and the Pacific steamers will
soon call there regularly. Things in
deed 90 very fast ahead in Buenos Ay-
res. Now that l have seen something
of both countries l can quite understand
why the Argentiues are going ahead so
fast, and Brazil is not, especially as
the former government encourages for
eign immigration far more than the
Brazilians. l do not, however, think
there is any coal in the republic, which
seems to me the one thing they want.
Their agricultural future must be very
great. The climate is splendid; now,
of course, being midwinter, it is very
cold, but it is pleasant, bracing cold,
and first rate, l believe for any one
whose chest is not very strong. ,Bue-
nos Ayres has one great drawback IN
the shallowness of the water IN It's rlV-
er, for when the water is low the large
steamers cannot go within sight OF the
town. and everything must be tran
shipped into lighters and again into
carts to be landed, and so of course eV-
erything imported is necessarily dear.
But they are dredging out harbor,.
and Rosario up the Parana is growing
enormously; large steamers can get up
there, as there is fair channel in the
center of the river, although they cam
not get to Buenos Ayres. 1t struck me
as SO curious seeing horses and carts
going apparently far out to sea to meet
boats. Another thing that must strike
every visitor is the absence of great
poverty. 1 never saw aperson dressed
in rags or apparently a pauper
while in the country. There is eV-
identity great competition in trade, and
the population is very. cosmopolitan.
