they rival the most famous gardens OF

An African Dhow.

"Imagine a curiously-shaped boat
capable of carrying about thirty tons,
partially decked aft, high in the stern
and low in the bow, suggesting to the
nervous mind a suicidal tendency in the
shape of a determined purpose of diving
beneath the first advancing wave. A
single mast, fifteen or more feet high,
support an unwieldly lateen sail OF d.
mansions enormous compared with the
size of the craft, and held by rotten
cocoa-nut fiber ropes which not unfre-
ouently startle the crew and passengers
if they do no worse by breaking and
letting their whole burden crash down
on deck.
s'The water leaks in at innumerable
points, continually requiring several
men to bale highland day. Then, from
stem to stern there rises a combination
of a%bominable smells truly sickening::
The rotten wood, with its coating OF
rancid cocoa-nut oil, the accumulate
grease and filth of years, the bilge,
water, the contents of the cargo, and
the ef uvia from the perspiring skins OF
the crowded negroes-all contribute
their quota to an effect which words can
not describe"

The Luck Which Lies in Peas
Chicago Herald.

~tAS Lana Nl
Peas are sacred to Freya, almost w.
ing with the mistletoe in alleged virtue
for lovers. In one district of Bohemia
the girls go into a field of peas and make
there a garland of five or seven kinds OF
towers, all of different hues. The gar
land they must sleep upon lying with
their right ear upon it, and then they
hear a voice from underground, which
tells what manner of men they will have
for husbands. Sweet peas would doubt,
less prove very effectual in this kind OF
divination, and there need be no dill
Guilty in finding them of different hues.
If Hertfordshire girls are lucky enough
lay it under a gate and believe Trey will
have for a husband the first man that
passes through. On the borders un-
lucky lads and lasses in courtship are
rubbed down with pea straw by friends
of the opposite sex. These beliefs con
nscted with peas are very widespread.

ipraratus for Cooling Halls.


The apparatus used for cooling some
of the large theatres and halls is simple
and effective. A large wheel, very
much resembling the paddle wheels of a
steamer, is set in motion from an en-;
pine. Its revolutions drive currents of
air successfully through a cylinder into
an ice chest, and thence through an
other pipe into an air-tank. This tank
reaches under the whole expanse OF the
auditorium. Under each seat IS a little
slit in the floor about two inches long
and an eighth of an inch wide. Through
these the cold air is forced up without
creating any draft, and cools the
house very thoroughly. The dampness
that may accumulate in the air while
passing through the ice settles to the
bottom of the tank by its weight, and
does not carry colds and rheumatism to
the unsuspecting audience.

But although the rest of the country
is still in the middle ages, Guaya1ull IS
a modern town. It has gas, street cars,
ice factories, and other modern i'm
proyements, all introduced by citizens
Of the United States. The custom
house is built of pine from Maine, and
corrugated iron from Pennsylvania, and
a citizen of New York built it. An
American company have a line OF pad
die wheel steamers, built in Baltimore,
on the river, and the only gunboat the
government owns is a discarded mer-

bamboo and plaster, are very elegantly
furnished, and the stores show fine
stocks of goods: but the rear portion OF
the dty is so filthy that n has to hold
his as he passes through it. The
people live in miserable dirt novels, and
the buzzard is the only industrious citi
zen to be seen.
There is no fresh water in town, but
all the people use is brought on RATS
from a place twenty miles up the river
and is peddled about the place in casks
carried upon the backs of donkeys or
men. The donkeys all wear %pantalettes
not. however, from motives OF
modesty, as the native children all 60

nearly so but to protect their legs and
bellies from the gadfy, which bites

is peddled about the town in the same

the river on RATS and in dugouts, which
are hauled upon the beach in long rows

scene. u,
Guayaquil is famous for the finest
pine apples in tho world, great juicy
fruits. as white as sDow and as sweet as

hats are all made in Guayaquil, but got
their name because Panama merchants
formerly controlled the trade. They

The quinine trade has almost died
out, as the forests of Ecuador has been
stripped of the bark, and the trees have

PARIS, December 2S.-Grevy was r~e-elect-

by a Joint vote Of the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies, acting as a national
assembly. The balloting was carried on
amid great excitement. Only five members
of the right cast ballots. Grevy's total
majority was 135.
The space reserved for visitors in the
Chamber was crowded long before the hour
appointed for election. Streets in the vi
entity were also thronged with people. The
proceedings in the Chamber began at fifteen
minutes after l amid considerable excite
ment. The president OF the national as
sembly was unable to restore silence. The
members Of the right became SO turbulent
that the president threatened to suspend
the sitting members of the right. They
asked for time to speak before a vote was
taken, and, their request being refused, sey-
eral OF them tried to gain the tribune. A
fight ensued between the members OF the
left and and one upon the right. Several
blows were exchanged before the comba'
tants could be separated by their friends
A lull in the demonstration then followed,
and the balloting took place.
