1n a MOROCCO nakeshnp.

In going through the city to the Jews
quarters l stopped at an Arab bakeshop,
where l saw a pleasant looking chap,
hoping l should get an invitation to visit
his establishment, but as it did not come,
1 invited myself and walked in. The
wheat is ground by hand between two
flat stones, and sometimes when a mother
is grinding she will amuse and utilize her
child by seating him on the top stone,
giving him a ride and increasing the
milling power at the same time.
The Moorish oven is n big mud room
perhaps twenty feet square by six high,
and the l~oaves, shaped something like an
apoplectic mince pie, are ranged on both
sides of this room, a fire-of palm branches
and bamboo then being built on the floor
between the rows'of bread. This fire is
fed constantly bya boy standing at the
entrance with an arrangement something
like a fremont Temple contribution box,
on which he places the fuel for the near
est fires, but the R1rthest he feeds by tax
ing an armful Of stuff, rushing into the
oven and throwing it upon the heap.
The bread from this practice has a min
gled taste Of smoke and fried Moor,
which is perhaps more healthy and
strengthening than agreeable to the un-
cultivated taste-Morocco Cor. Boston

Z BILL NYE, in giving some good advice
to Eastern tenderfeet who think of coming
West, says: The West wants good, live,
self supporting young men. Whether or
not the Fast can spare them | do not pre-
tend to state. The West will always well
come the sensible young men from the
Fast CT from other countries who are
equipped for a rough and tumble with
outrageous fortune. While | would not
guarantee success to everybody who goes
West TO-DAY, | would certainly under like
circumstance go West myself, willingly
and hopefully. 1t is no sign that the
West Is full because once in a while a
man who comes from there is in that COR
dition. Neither should young men hest
tate about going towards the occident
simply because a few wealthy freaks like
the undersigned came Fast to bedew with
their surplus the land of their birth"

1t is a remarkable fact hat flowers
have usually been regarded as beneficent
in popular lore, While animals are fire.
quently diabolical, flowers are seldom &C.
credited with any malign influences.
Their connection with religion has AVG
been an intimate one, and their beautify'
ing use in the important ceremonies Of
life-at marriage, death and burial-have
always endeared them to every one, sc
that their mission has always been a soft.
ening and humanizing one. Many OF
the humblest flowers and most neglected
weeds have been regarded as sacred at
some time o. another.
This fact of the good will held towards
flowers In popular lore is partially shown
by the beneficent names applied to them,
as hearts ease, travellers joy, shepherds
needle, honesty, etc. There are, how
ever, some exceptions to this beneficent
character. In Silesia it is said that
flowers should not be laid on a sick per-
sons bed. In Westphalia, no child
should be decked with flowers until it Is
q year old, as 1t would die soon, and the
flowers wither. German peasants say
flowers should not be laid on the mouth
of a corpse, lest it bite them and become
a Nachzehrer, or sort of vampire. In
England, to dream of white flowers
means death, and the same is indicated
by the sudden blooming of q white rose
bush. Any one who throws a rose into
an open grave will waste away. s..

The prettiest sight in Mexico is the
Paseo de La Reforma, stretching, tree
lined on either side, from the statue of
Carlos ~ to the castle Of Chapultepec,
when, of a morning, scores of riders,
many of them in picturesque Mexican
costume, dot the long roadway, the trap
pings Of the horses flashing in the sun
light and the mettlesome steeds giving
animation to the scene. Many rich Mex
leans use saddles, costing $500, silver
mounted and inlaid beautifully. Hats
with gold braid, costing 800 and more,
are frequently worn, and the tight fitting
black trousers with silver buckles up the
outer seams, and the short charro jacket,
make up a riding costume unique in
beauty and elegance-Cor. Boston Her.

ln response to a request We herewith
present Senator ingalls, now famous let

VICE PRESIDENTS CHAMBER. June It,,
1885. st does not make much difference
who is nominated, in my judgment. The
candidates will cut but a small figure in
the fight We can elect anybody, or we
shall fail The least conspicuous, and,
therefore, the least complicated man will
be the best somebody like Hayes in 1876.
Among all the men named there is not
one leader NO one whose personal or
historical relations to the people would
make a difference of 1000 votes in the
canvass. Sherman, Allison, Harrison,
etc, have records that would be awkward
on the tariff, the currency, the Chinese
question, etc. Depew's connection with
railroads and corporations would be a
heavy load, especially in the agricultural
states. We might as well nominate
Gould or Vanderbilt at once. My i'm
preston is that Alger or Gresham come
nearer filling the bill than any of the 9th
ers, with some fellow like Phelps Of New
Jersey, who could reach the conservative
forces of the Fast, and get contributions
from the manufacturers and Wall street.
But you can Judge much better than |

Up in his office the major Of infantry
who commands the battalion of cadets is
busy with the arduous duties Of his posi-
ton. Hanging in the lower hallway that
leads to his office is a huge frame filled
with closely written sheets of paper.
This is the delinquency list, or in cadet
slang, the ''skin board" Approaching
it we read:
"Anderson-Wearing cap in quarters
at police inspection.
"Armstrong-Odor of tobacco smoke
in quarters at inspection by officers Of the
day.
"Billingsgate-Using profane express
sion 9:15 a. m.
"Same-Absent from room at a. m.
inspection.
"Brooks-Slow extinguishing light at
taps, F" and sc on throughout the long
list. On Friday punishments fitting their
respective offenses will be awarded the
delinquents.
Academic regulations are very strict,
being the combined result of the expert
ences of a long line Of superintendent,
and any cadet who could and would go
through his whole four years. course with
out breaking any of them should, at its
close, be graduated straight through the
pearly gates and receive a golden harp
instead Of a diploma. He, during his
four years course, would have carefully
refrained from the use of stimulants,
bad language and tobacco in any form
would have attended divine service at
least once a week; would have lived with
his comrades in a spirit of brotherly love;
would have kept his shoes bright, his
collar spotless, and would have been
promptly on handsfor every n of his
manifold duties. Such is the ideal cadet,
and the regulations are intended to make
the real ones approach as near to him as
possible. But, alasl they are all son of
Adam, and the ''skin list" is the unfor-
tunate result.-Lieut. E. w. Lewis in

The Buffalo Echo in a well written edi,
torial article presents the name Of Hon.
j. NJ. Lobban Tor the consideration of the
Democratic territorial convention. Mr..
Lobban has long been prominently iden-
tilted with the progress and development
of Wyoming but particularly johnson
county. He is a shrewd, energetic bust
ness man who has friends in all parts OF
the territory who respect and admire him
for his sterling qualities of head and heart.
Under the leadership of a man of Mr..
Lobban's caliber the Democratic party
would develop its utmost strength.

A PARTY of bowling dervishes with a
magnetic belt fake, made night hideous
in the neighborhood of THE LEADER
Office last night. If the city dads persist
in giving licenses to a lay out of this sort,
it should be turned loose in a vacant lot
where people disposed to quietude would
have an ever show for their lives. As
matters stand now business is impeded,
people who are disposed to work are in
convenienced and bedlam and the small
boy reign supreme. The street fakir is a
public calamity under the most favorable
circumstances and the city authorities
should do their level best 10 mitigate him

1t gives a confirmed landsman a cold
chill when he reads that the Etruria ran
through fogs at a rate almost ~equaling an
express train. Is this kind of thing safe2
That is the question. The opinions of
those who ought to know are almost
unanimously in favor of getting out of a
tfog just as quickly as possible, and there
seems to be no question but the driving
through a fog at a high rate of speed is
the best thing to do under the circum-
stances. H"
The only vessels lost during recent
years have beer lost while either stand
ing still or going slowly. If the Oregon
had been going faster she would not
have been struck. Still the same may
be said if she had been going very much
slower. The City of Brussels was stand
ing still in a fog when she was run down.
In many respects a fast steamer has
great advantages over a slow one. She
can keep in the position she wants to in
q storm, and in many cases she can avoid
a storm altogether or outrun it or get on
the outer edges of it. A steamer going
at n high rate of speed will answer her
helm much better than a slower boat.
When n steamer slows down the roar of
escaping steam renders it impossible to
hear anything except the roar. When
she is going at full speed everything is as
quiet as it is possible to be, and the
whistle of an approaching steamer can
be heard and to a certain extent located.
If a steamer takes two days instead Of
three days to get through a fog bank it
is evident that the percentage of danger
is lessened just that much.
So in spite of what the papers nave
been saying of the recklessness of run
ming a big ship through a fog at good
speed, it seems to be the safest thing to
do.-Detroit Free Press.
