of polyanthus narcissus That in the illustra-

A PICTURESQUE ARAB DANCE.

Marvellous Grace and Agility of the Child
of the observation-disclosures Measure.
The Arab quarter lat Port Said consists at
present of booths and wooden huts, and the
bazars possess for experienced travellers little
interest or picturesqueness. In one Of them
however, we found native cafe, where two
Ghawazli girls were languidly dancing before
the usual audience of low class Arabs and
negro connoisseurs One clad in scarlet was
novice of no skill; the other--graceful and
clever, with handsome face OF the old
Egyptian type, worn hard and marked by n
life of vice-was prettily dressed in wide
trowsers of purple and gold, a spangled jacket
and headdress of coins and beads, with a
jingling girdle of silver amulets.
Asked il she could perform for us the "bal
ance dance,p she consented TO exhibit that
well known Egyptian pas for the modest con-
sideration OF two francs and bottle of Eng
lish beer. The cork of this contribution be-
ing drawn, lighted candle was fixed in the
neck of the bottle, which was then placed
upon the crown of her black and glossy little
head. A carpet was next spread upon the
sand, and extending her hands, armed with
castanets, and singing in high but not UNI
pleasant voice TO the accompaniment of
darabouka and rabab, she swayed her 1.-THE
body In slow, rhythmical motions to the
words of her song and the measured beat of
the musicians: II am black, but it is the son
Of thy love which has scorched mel Send me

ing for thee"
The Ghawazki began with Arabic words of
this tenor, keeping exact time to her strain
with foot and hand and the tremors of her
thrilling slender frame; now slowly turning
round, now softly Advancing and receding,
now clasping her hands across her bosom or
pressing them to her forehead-but perpetu-
ally keeping the bottle and lighted candle in
perfect equilibrium upon the top of her head
Suddenly she sank, with the change of the
musical accompaniment, to the ground, and
while not only maintaining the completest
harmony of her movement, but even making
this strange posture one of grace and charm
-she contrived in some dexterous manner
without touching IL, to shift the bottle from
the top of her head to her forhead, and thus
reclined on the mat, her extended fingers

Uhcanny ways OF the Mature children
of tho Town-Juvenile wretchednessl,
There is something uncanny about these
mature children Of the town. l was at the
Windsor hotel at dinner with some friends a
short time ago when pompous little woman
strobe down the long dining room, followed
by two little girls hand in hand. Neither of
them was more than o years old. They set
tied themselves i'm their chairs, folded their
skinny little hands and then proceeded to
stare about them and comment upon their
fellow-diners. The elder of the two children,
after looking intently at maiden lady OF
rather noticeable attire at an adjoining table,
turned to her mother and said composedly:
"What really startling old trump that is,
mammap
(which one, dearG" asked the strict disci-
plinarian of a mother.
1.-THE cheerful guy beside the bald-headed
man over there"
"Oh, yes" said the mother, with n we'll
bred smile, T've seen her before. But don't
be so slangy, Marion Have more tone.
Order your dinner now and see that you let
PURGE and lamb alone. It's too rich for you. y
Then to the waiter: "Take her order, Au-
guste.n
The waiter leaned obsequiously over the
child, who was studying the menu with q
frown on her little face.
"No soup, Ogeest," she said intently, "but a
bit of wealSfish with egg sauce, an kidney
omelette-not fiat, you know, but nice and
puify-and artichokes-"
"ver sorry, Mees Maryon, but there is no
artic--"
'There, thought So" said the girl, slam
ming the card down on the table and biting
her thin lips "Its the most provoking thing
Whenever set my heart"
ave have some green corn"
Eat it yourselfl" said the child in huff.
The waiter was quite unmoved. He seemed
to be accustomed to such ebulltions Of temper
and went on suavely taking the orders of the
others, while Miss Marion sat the picture OF
overdressed, pampered and pouting discon-
tent.
And the children of the flats Who ever
hears of these shy and melancholy little be-
ings who speak in whispers and have been
bullied, reprimanded and scolded by servants,
tenants, janitors and parents until they glide
about like shadows and dare not laugh for
fear of disturbing some onel The joyousness
and life of childhood have been crushed out
of them. And the children Of the boarding
