THE BAZAAR.
Description of the Inevitable Market Place
of an Oriental City.


We strolled leisurely through the
bazaar of Seddath, long street cano.
pied over with tattered mats as slight
protection from the baking sun, pro-
lection of which the hornets and flies,
equally with the Arabs, avail them
selves. The principal goods exposed
for sale on the stalls ranged on each
side were hookahs, beads and sweet
meats, the latter in the form of animals,
mosques, ships, etc., the previous day
having been a sugar festival. These
CONNECTIONS were covered by fierce
clouds of pugnacious hornets in posses
sion that dared not be disputed, not to
speak of black masses of flies that
shared with them the spoil. Some
native women passed through the bazaar
with the usual long dark blue calico
wells covering their faces, and, with the
exception of two small apertures for
their eyes, completely envelopiAg them.
Down the center of these ovralls de-
pended long strings of gold or silver
coins, to show at a glance the wealth
of the wearer. Hang-dog, greasy
looking Moslems lounged and squatted
by the sides of their stalls, all smoking
hOokahs as If it were the business of
their lives and looking as if we were
taking liberty in asking them to hand
us their goods or accept payment for
them. Emerging from this unlnviting
region of Arabs, greasy sweetneats,
NANCY pariahs, hornets, flies and dirt,
we advanced, ankle-deep in sand, S9ng
a narrow street lined with high square
houses, on the fiat roofs of which TIE
better off class of women were to be
seen promenading for air and exercise,
their only means of obtaining these A
higher and whittier looking house than
the others marked out the British req
resentative's, and we sent in our car6s
by an Arab porter standing at the en-,
trance. just inside the doorway was a
tank for drinking water, a scarce COM
modify, and sometimes selling at the
rate of even five shillings a gallon.
This great necessity, or rather luxury
here, can only be obtained by pur-
chase, and that from one man, who
leases at a high rental from his Gov
eminent the only wells allowed to be
dug, and hawks the water around the
streets in skins loaded upon camels
and donkeys. The profits on this mo-
nopoly from the town, as well as from
the immense stream of pilgrims for
ever journeying on the Mecca route,
must be considerable. Such is one of
the ways by which the Sublime
Porte, y as he is termed, replenishes
his exchequer. 1t reminds one some
what of the natives of India not being
permitted to utilize the sea water on
their shores for the manufacture of that
precious article salt, though, of course,
between salt and drinking water there
is a wide gulf.-LOndon Society.

1t was growing dark in the woods.
The thick growth shut out the light 1t
was late in the afternoon when they
left home, and they must now have
been away three hours. The sun had
set, and twilight was falling upon the
land. OF course, in the woods the
light faded away sooner than in the
clearings. Jack began to cry. Gertie
was badly frightened, but she felt the
necessity of keeping up her brother's
spirits.
Let's play camping out" she said.
Here is nice place for tent at the
foot of this tree"
81 want to 60 home, and l want my
supper, sobbed Jack. I'm tired all
over, and I'm hungrym
''We shall have to stay here until
grandpa comes after us" said Gertie.
God can take care of us here Just as
well as He could if we were at home.
He saved us from the bear, this after
noon. Let us ask Him to forgive us
for being naughty, and to keep us safe
ly till grandpa comes"
The two children knelt down, and
prayed for Divine protection. A sense
of Presence filing the place came to
them. Their fears vanished, and they
felt secure. Gertie sat down on the
ground, with her back against tree.
Jack sat down beside her, and rested
his tcar-stained face in her lap. twas
dark now. They could see the stars
through the openings in the tree tops.
They looked for a little while, and then,
THra cd h
tigue of the past few hours, fell fast
asleep.
How long they slept they knew not,
but they were awakened by some large
animal snufling about their faces. Jack
threw out his hands. and they came in
contact with the animals coarse, thick
hair. He saw two eyes cleaning like
balls of fire in the darkness. Both
children were paralyzed with terror.
They supposed that the bear had
found them. Suddenly their nocturnal
visitor began to bark f1riously. There
came great revulsion of feeling.
Its Wover! it's Woverr' exclaimed
Jack.
Soon they heard distant shout, and
in few minutes they could see a light
lodging in and out among the trees.
1t came nearer, and they could see that
1T was lantern, and that it was borne
by Reuel, grandpa's hired man. A
dinner horn was tied to his waist.
''Bless my starsn' said Reuel, 'here
are the folks we're after"
Reuel put the horn to his mouth and
gave three loud blasts. A moment
later, there came answers from all
around them. Reuel repeated the sig
nal and soon forms with lanterns were
seen coming from ali directions. One
OF the first to arrive was grandpa, who,
IN spite of the remonstrances of the
Others insisted upon taking Jack on
his shoulder and starting for the house.
Reuel caught up Gertie in his strong
arms and followed. An hour later
the rescuing party reached Grandpa
Marsh's residence. The house was full
of women. Grandma's eyes looked as
if she had been weeping. She gave
glad cry when she saw the children,
and almost mothered them with kisses.
1t was long after midnight when
Jack and Gertie were put into their
beds, but, despite the lateness of the
hour, grandpa and grandma did not
retire until they had read, with very
moist eyes, the first nine verses of the
chapter of Luke Edgar L.

A Threat From the Dominion Tn
Puts a SeriOus Aspaet on Mattera.

A Threat From the Dominion That
Puts a Serious Aspect on Matters.
Boston, Mass, June "a Washington
special to the Globe this evening says: Mr..
Boutelle, of Maine, has prepared bill which
he is waiting an opportunity to introduce.
1t largely increases the duty on fish. His
object is to more effectually meet the ques-
tons that have arisen involving fishing in
terests. He says the retaliatory measures
already proposed by Congress are wholly in
adequate to the emergency. The Canadian
fishermen care little for them and are deter
mined to force their fish upon us free of
duty, whether or no. Mr.. Boute11e believes
bill such as he proposes is the only way to
meet the case. Mr.. Boutelle says the inter
view of Senator Hale and himself with Sec
Rotary Bayard yesterday was in pursuance of
telegram received from Eastport stating
that the Dominion authorities had given no.
tice that they would seize American vessels
that should buy herring from the weirs for
packing purposes. The large herring are
token in the open water, but the natural
spawning ground is on the New Brunswick
shore of the bay and there the small fish are
chiefly caught. The tariff law provides for
Inc Tree ADMISSION OF nSn Tor 1D2 fA eG1at6 con-
sumption. A ruling of the Treasury
department was made that this
shall be construed to include only
fish to be eaten and not those
brought in for packing. A subsequent rul-
ing decided that boats of less than five tons
burden would not be required to enter at
custom houses. Under that rule small fish
in large quantities have been brought in.
They were mostly caught by provincial fish
ermen and bought by our packers who de-
pended chiefly on this source OF supply. The
dispatch received from Collector Mutt yester-
day that the Dominion authorities had deter
mined not only to forbid purchase, but to
actually seize all vessels attempting to buy
was shown to Secretary Bayard. The latter
fully agreed with Messrs. Hale and Boutelle
that this action presented a graver
issue than any previously made and demand
ed prompt and decisive action. Mr.. Bayard
said all negotiations with the British govern
ment were necessarily slow by reason of the
tedious route through the colonial, Dominion
and home offices. He had received no reply
yet to his communication in reference to
the case of the Jennie and Julia forward
ed through the British minister ten days ago.
The Secretary assured them that no effort
would be spared to bring about settlement
of questions between the two governments
and secure full justice American fisher
men.
Mr. Boutelle last evening te1egraphed to
Eastport the result of his interview with Mr..
Bayard.
