1t is almost incredible, when one looks
over the records of the past, to find at
what early ages some of the world great
est writers manifested literary genius and
performed their most important work.
Shakespeare for example, wrote Hamlet
when but thirty-slx years of age; Thomas
Moore wrote poems at fourteen; Bryant's
''Tnanatopsis" was written before the
author had reached the age Of twenty
Henry Kirke White published volume
of poems at seventeen; Fitz.Greeue Hal
lacks best verses were panned when the
author was between fourteen and severn
teen years of age; Dickens produced the
"Pickwick Papers" before he was twenty
five; Milton Wrote poetry at the aga Of ten.
Bulwer-LYtton, BayaId Taylor, and the
poet Keats were successfully writing for
the magazines at eighteen; Schiller wrote
and published a poem on Moses in his
fourteenth year; Southey began to write
verses before he was eleven; poems by
Chaucer and Leigh Hunt were known and
read before the authors we're twelve and
thirteen years of age; Klopstock began his
Messiah" at seventeen, and thus might
be cited much longer list Of illustrations
of the mature development OF authors al
tender ages. --Ecchdnge.

A1gerIan women,s ornnments.

The dress of the Algerian woman hangs
very loosely about the arms, which are al.
ways bare Sometimes a red band, which
passes IN loop over each shoulder and
crosses at the back, where it is ornament
ed with little red tassels, keeps the dress
closer TO the figure. When the arms are
raised, the loose drapery hanging through
the loops has much the appearance of the
full sleeve of the Italian peasant. Shout
der-pins are very much worn aud are
made of silver, often enriched with coral
and enamels, resembling an Irish brooch.
These pins are sometimes connected with
a chain, to the centre of which is suspend
ed little metal box, enamellcd, and con-
tanning scent Ga the head is worn lit
tie peaked bonnet, like the French cap of
liberty 1t is made by doubling in half,
lengthwise, broad silk baud, and sewing
up on one side. 1t is kept in its place by
a second kerchief bound round and knot
ted behind. Many women allow their
hair to wave free, or confine it simply with
fillet. A frequent ornament is q round
silver brooch with an opening in the cen
tire crossed by a pin. Bosses of coral as
well as knobs of silver, which latter have
q very pearl-like effect are dotted about
it. Tkey are effective pieces of jewelry,
and with the sun shining on them glsten
like moons. They are not adopted till a
woman becomes a mother. On the birth
eff girl, the brooch is worn between the
breasts; on the birth of boy, it is raised,
and CLEANS above the forehead When a
wife is disobedient. and is beaten by her
husband, the brooch is often undone by
the woman and dashed to the ground at
his feet. There is another mead orna-
ment, handsomer than this. 1t consists of
a central silver brooch over the forehead,
and side brooches above the temples, en-
riched in the same style, and with rows Of
silver cleaning hemispheres completely en-
circling the head, and forms glittering
tiara fit for princess. Necklaces are
made of beads and coral, and also of
cloves and sweet-smelling psste.-Ec-

/ suppose Bob Ingersoll's stenograpner
is ready for his death, and have been
told that Ingersell keeps him always with
him. 1t is his idea to give the world a
stenographic report of his last utterances.
He wish the &C .ual scene to be described
and does not expect to suffer frightful tor
lures at the last nor to fill the air with re-
morse. Colonel Ingersol has not been in
Washington for year or two. He is said
to be very wealthy, and he has an income
of more than five times $40 900 year.
He made nice thing out of the star route
trial, and If the newspaper reports are
true his fee from Dorsey was 800, 900.
He ought 10 get nice thing out Of his in
terest in the cattle farm which he, Dorsey,
and others, own out West, and it is said
that he has a log cabin home there which
covers nearly an acre. He SOLD his house
in Washington for $45, 900 LAST year aud
he probably made something by the bar
gain. His log cabin cost, it is said,
$4,000, and all of its rooms are on the
first floor.
1t seems a pity that man with all In
gersolls ability could not have a better
mission in life. AS Thomas Carlyle says
Of Volgaire, Ingersoll has Lad a torch for
burning but no hammer for building. He
has tors away the dearest beliefs Of man
kind from the souls of those who were
weaker than he, and he has given them
nothing ia their place. Could he offer
anything better than the Christian religion,
there might be some excuse for his actions
but, as it is, in the future he will pose
only as a Brilliant ieonocast, and will be,
like the army of brilliant infdels who
have preceded him, very soon forgotten,
think they will be those in which he
tramples upon the Christian religion. The
world cares very little for the raylngs Of
a fanatic, and Ingersoll is as much of 8
fanatic against religion as some OF the ole
| hermits were in favor of it.

When the Sultan takes wife no cere-
mopy is considered necessary more than
to present his bride. The new Sultan in
herits all the widows and slaves of his
predecessor, aud every year of his reign,
at the feast of the Ramazan, he receives a
new one from his mother, and takes any
other girl or woman to his harem who
happens 70 strike his fancy. Slaves who
become mothers are instantly promoted to
the rank of Sultana. Six months before
the feast of Ramazan, the Valide Sultana
orders that all the young can ldates be
brought TO her, aud she chooses fifteen
and sometimes more of the lot. These
are Immediately put under diet a1d train
ing, and at the beginning of the great feast
she again chooses, and this time the choice
is final. At the evening of the appointed
day the Sultan, upon retiring, finds his
new bride standing nude, with folded
hands and lowered eyes, at the foot of his
bed. After he has retired she must lift
the bed-clothes at the foot and crawl into
bed in that way as sign of subiection.
Girls arrive at legal majority at nine
years of age, and are frequently married
at ten. Children of twelve and thirteen
are often seen with children of their own.
They are old at twenty-five. The old
Turkish women have hard lot of it. Be
yond respect for age which they con-
trive to inspire by tooth and nail among
other wives younger than they, their lives
are not happy. Still, they are provided
for, and as long as man lives he feeds his
family, one and all alike Exchange.
