voyageurs had sole command Of the boats
and had to be obeyed The soldiers were
particularly careless ami would frequently
stop work as if perfectly Indifferent whether
thers was wreck or not Their clothing
was very ragged, and they were kept under
strictest discipline A smart little Arab
child of IL had taken a great fancy to the
voyageurs and was bound to come home
with them. They taught him English and
brought him from Wady Halfa to A;souan,
about thirty miles, when his friends stopped
him, and the child cried bitterly at parting
The voyageurs came prominently to the
front in the sports at Wady Half, gotten
up by English officers there, al 4 some
printers among the garrison got out
small newspaper, most ereditable
in every respect, called The Wady
Halfa Gazette. The whale boats were poorly
built and unsuitable and were each loaded
down with ten men and 2, 900 pounds Of am
munItion and stores. Many Of them col
lapsed and went to pieces while being towed
through the cataracts The men were too
late in starting, and the Nile had begun to
fall before they left Wady Halfa. Some
days they made ten to twenty miles. On
other days when going through the cataracts
they would not make half mile.
The bed of the river was studded with
rocks and sand banks, hidden by the muddy
water and only discovered when the boats
would crash against or upon them. While
500 boats were towed along the river, 1900
or 5000 camels marched on its banks, FORM
ing picturesque procession. Many Of the
voyageurs brought home relics of the land
of the Pnaroahs.

The Shah of Persia in Public.


Although the king of Persia has larger
collection of jewels than any other monarch
save on state occasions, such as the public
salaam Of the new year, he very seldom dis
plays any Of them. He is strikingly plain
in dress The full-skirted frock coat of
black cloth. or at times of finest cashmere
shawl, which in winter time is lined and
trimmed with priceless fur, is his usual
wear but the colors are generally dark
In the capital the shah may be frequently
seen on horseback, and, like all Persian gem
tlemen, he rides well; his horses, with long
and uncut tails dyed crimson for some six
inches at their tips (the jealously guarded
privilege Of the king and his sons, are
distinguished by their value and beauty.
Here, too, the shahs quiet taste is apparent
in the sOmber materials of his saddlery,
though of course each spirited charger ha
its pure gold or jeweiei necklet and trap
pings, and these barbaric ornaments Ger
tainly do not detract from its appearance.
Riding alone, his eyes generally on the
ground, his majesty still maintains staff
OF some dozen royal running footmen, who.
clad in his state livery of scarlet and gold,
wearing the turretei hats of other days,
with their jingling ornaments, and each
armed with his silver staff Of office. hover
round the shah, while one remains at his
stirrup to indicate the royal pleasure. Be-
hind come one or two OF the Ministers the n

each with his gun sluns in a scarlet cloth
case across his back, mix promiscuously
among the miscellaneous crowd of 100 or 40
horsemen, without whom the shah is hardly
ever seen
The royal carriage most in vogue with his
MAJESTY bears a suspicious likeness to one of
our sheriff's vehicles; eight horses are har-
messed to it, the pairs being ridden by four
positions in scarlet As a rule the king is
alone, the only exception being when ac-
companied by one of his sons or the prime
minister, or perhaps some religious magnate.
Erraeic as he is in his movements, passing
from one suburban palace to another, the
royal route may generally be ascertainei by
observing the water carriers, who carefully
sprinkle the road the king will use.

Moving Out by PiecemeaL


The colony Of 5000 exhibitors connected
with the exposition, is constantly in tur.
moil If ths exhibitors are not holding
meetings and passing resolutions rejecting
on the capacity and fitness of the man who
has charge Of the tickets, then they are
marching in a body through the gates, in
defiance of the rules and the police. One
exhibitor here Is slowly removing his stock
from the main building without the knowl-
edge of the authorities
There are many firms having stands in the
main building who would pay literally to be
allowed to close up and go home. The sx-
pense of keeping several clerks here and the
formerly small attendance discouraged
them, and they were anxious to withdraw
and close their stands Several exhibits
have already been abandoned. The young
man who is removing his goods will be all
out before Sunday. For more than a month
he has been steadily at work, carrying away
little every day in a paper bag or a hand
sachel The few bits of furniture at his
stand have been sold to other exhibitors, and
he bids fair to get clear without losing any
thing at all. There may be many more do
ing the same thing, though no cases have
yet been reported.

Paying a SEQ undrel.


Alexander Dumas contributes to The
Surieux an aneciote told him by the late
Henri Didier, who was deputy under the
second empire. Didiers father was secre-
tary to the minister of the interior at the
time when the Duchess de Berri was arres ed
at Nantes at the end of her attempt to raise
the country against Louis Philippe and in
favor of her son, the Count de Chambord
The traitor Deutz agreed to sell the govern

600 francs, and it was the elder Didier's duty
to pay the scoundrel for his dirty work He
took his son Henri into the Office and said:
Look well now at what passes, and never
forget it You will learn what lache is.
and the method of paying him"
Deutz was then brought into the room
where NJ Didier was standing behind his
desk, on which were placed two packets,
each of which contained go. 600 francs As
Deutz neared the desk, NJ Didier made a
sign to him to stop: then, taking pair of
tongs, he extended the packets one after the
other into the hands open to receive them
Not word was spoken, and when the trans
fer was effected N. Didier pointed to the

Mexico Letter.l

In the market places Of several western
Mexico towns peasant women bring in for
sale trays, covered with living ants, each
about as big and round as large whits cur
rant, and each entirely filed with honey or
grape sugar, much appreciated by the Mex
lean youth as an excellent substitute for
toffee They hold the ant by its head and
suck out the honey, with which its back
parts are greatly distended, and throw away
the empty body. Women buy the ants by
the quart, press out the honey through
muslin strainer and make it into sweet in
toxcant that is greatly enjoyed by Mexican
youth and husbands.

CHEATING THE GOVERNMENT.
An Old Importer Tells How Some Peo

An Old importer Tells HOW some REQ.
pie Commit Gross Frauds.
New York Sun
"One Of the most difficult things to detect"
said an old importer, '.is the fraudulent al
lowance Of rebate Of customs duties OH goods
alleged to have been damaged Where the
importer and the appraiser are dishonest
the fraud is almost impossible Of detection
The plan Of operations is very simple. The
law requires that the full duties shall be paid
upon the withdrawal Of goods. Then, il
goods are found to be damaged within ten
days, the importer sends word to the custom
house, and an appraiser is sent to the i'm
porter's store or warehouse, and there ap-
praises the damage, and upon his report is
based the allowance Of duties to be refunded.
This system leaves opportunity to commit
several kinds of fraud
