The Women Of the Harem.

A lady who has had opportubst'o- -.
visiting an Egyptian harem gives ner
impressions of 1t something in this wise :
The women are very seldom taught to
read or write. Conversation Is gen.
orally carried on with foreigner in
French through the aid of an inter-
prefer. They live in great splendor
and total idleness. They have no pic
lures in their palaces, and possess no
foreign or native literature. They
never sew, or even embroider, and their
only recreation consists in seeing girls
dance and in listening to some barbaric
music, or to stories told them by an old
woman in true Arabian Nights style.
The Egyptian women are fully devel-
oped at the age of thirteen and old at
thirty. Their forms are usually most
exquisite until fat-that bane of both
men and women in high life-destroys
the delicate beauty of their outline.
The upper portion of their faces, eyes,
brows, and forehead, are wondrously
lovely, but the lower part, below the
nose, is ugly, badly formed, and he wy,
as q rule. Fortunately for them, they
are enabled to conceal these defe is by
the veil they wear SO far from being
disconnected with their lot, the women
of Egypt have the utmost pity for their
civilized sisters, especially in matters
of the heart. They say their husbands
can care nothing for them, or they
would not allow other men to look
upon the faces, and think that civil
lied women possess no modesty to go
unveilad

When the ports of the Baltic are
closed by ice in the winter the inhabit-
ants of the Danish islands and coasts
take to sail-skating, n pastime which
besides serves to keep up communi-
cation between them. The sport re-
quires much skill, and sail-skating can
be learned only after q great deal OF
practice. When once &C ,uired, how
ever, it affords keen pleasure, and those
practicing it feel as if they were actually
flying through the air, especially IT
there is a good breeze blowing. The
sail used is in two parts, and formed OF
light but strong fabric, stretched over
wooden frame carried on the back by
the skater. The center cross-piece,
which is placed at the height of tho
shoulders is fastened round the body
by hands crossing the breast and pass
ing round the waist, SO that they can
be tied in front. Cross-pieces attached
to the lower corners of the sail are
held by the skater crosswise, by which
self by it. If the skater desires to be
carried along by the wind he must
stand upright, without, however, stiff
ening the body to much, and bending
backward according to the force of the
wind. Practice, as in other cases,
makes perfect, and enables the skater
to utilize the whole force of the wind.
III the latter is too strong. the topsail
is lowered, which moderates the i'm
pulse derived from the sail. By in
Ginning the sail in one direction or the
other the skater may tack to starboard
or larboard. When it is desired to run
against the wind, by skating in the
usual way. the sail is folded up, and
the body bent in such way that the
sail no longer offers purchase to the
wind. To make the return journey the
sail is again unfo.ded If the skater
sustains fall he generally falls
backward, and on to the sail. Con-
siderable speed may be attained in sail
skating, but it is less than with sailing
ice-boats In strong wind. If the
skater no longer desires to use the sail
he takes it down and folds it up, when
it may be carried ike an umbrella. In
severe winters it is not unusual to meet
with numerous bodies of sail-skaters in
Danish waters who are trying to excel
each other in speed. The sound be-
tween Sweden and Denmark, when
frozen over, is often crossed with ease
by parties of skaters on pleasure bent,
using the wind viii it lasts. The
sportsmen of Copenhagen often use
this means of locomotion when they
wish to reach rapidly spots where wild
duck and geese have been observed.

A Religions ATajr.

"There was very sad case in police
court this morning." said lawyer to
his wife. "A girl was arrested for steal
ing a fine lace veil. The woman who
owned the veil came to court, and, with
heartlessness, persisted in prosecuting
the poor girl. The Judge, however,
would not allow himself to be infu-
enced, so he released the girl"
"She did not prove that she was inno-
cent, did she?"
"Oh, no."
"Then why did the Judge release
her?'
well, he said that he had no right
to interfere with religious matters"
Religious matters?"
"Yes; he said that the laws of the
land grant to every woman the right TO
take the veil"
The woman did not reply for several
minutes. Then she said: IL know a
woman who married q fool. I'm the
woman. '-Arkansaw Traveller.

The Man Believed to BE ID ad.

More than one great man of letters
has been tormented by the most horri-
BILE of fears, that of being buried alive.
They have even left strict testamentary
injunctions as to the care that was to be
taken in ascertaining their decease. In
Germany somewhere "a geographical
indication about as definite as the Asia
Miner of schoolboys) bell-rope is
placed in the hands of the deceased
that he may ring If there has been q
mistake, and Shirley Brooks CHASTITY
quotation on this subject from Locks
ley Hall" is sufficiently we'll known.
Premature burial was the gdg1le- Pain
of Edgar Poe, who has at least three
variations on this dismal note, includ-
ing The Fall of the House of Usher"
People naturally wonder what the SEN
sations of a man may be who returns
from what seems to be visit to the
realm of death, and is aroused Just be-
fore or even after his too hurried inter-
ment. On this subject tales have been
told from the time of Platos Err to
that of the medieval monk. But we
seldom get an accurate historical ac-
count of what the apparent corpse re-
aiheu on Ills iesovery. OucH an uc-
count comes from Teignmouth, where
a man. believed by all to be dead, sat
up and asked what it was ali about"
he does not appear to have given any
such description of hades as the native
of New Caledonia, who not only re-
turned from the dead, but brought
back ax-heads with him of material
which entirely puzzled his scientific
countrymen. The Romans would have
compelled the man of Teignmouth to
60 out of doors and come back through
a hole in the roof; thus, at least, they
treated persons who returned to their
friends after being reported to have
died abroad. London NetCs.
