HOW THEY ORGANIZED.

At q meeting of a dozen ladies the
other day to organize a lodge Of the
Kings Daughters, the utter unfamiliar
ity Of women with parliamentary law,
or even with the general idea OF organ
ization, was somewhat humorously illus
trated. After they had sat looking at
each other a trifle nervously for while
one of them said;
well, here we are. What are we
going to dor
oh, dear said another. L don't
know, but let's do something
At last young lady suggested they
might try not to say mean things about
other people until next meeting, any
way Everybody thought that would
be nice. Just as they were adjourning,
two hours later, lady exclaimed:
oh, suppose we ought to have a
president
Why, Of course, we ought said an
other.
i don't suppose anybody will object
to Mrs. Brown for president said a
third; let's have her.
All right, let's, echoed the rest. And
nobody objected to names proposed for
secretary and treasurer. either.
A Few days later the talr secretary
consulted a gentleman acquaintance as
to how che should write up the minutes
Of the meeting,
We'll, you ought to begin by saying
who was chairman of the meeting
why, we didn't have any chairman
said the girl.
'Wto, then, put the motions before
the meeting p asked the gentleman.
oh, we didn't have any motions,
Somebody would say she thought such a
thing would be nice, and all the others
would say they thought so, too. That
was ALL
If that was the case laughed the
gentleman, you will have to set it down
in the minutes that such and such meas.
ures we're informally approved. But
you must state clearly that the club was
organized and write out the name of
your particular branch or lodge, and the
constitution and bylaws you adopted,

with their red fezes, brown Levantines,
turbaned Syrians, or Egyptians with
their flowing robes of all shades, all
drift by degrees into the boats. and fol-
time at least, you see the last of their
red or yellow slippers and hear their
noisy jargon no more. Then you, who
have shrunk possibly from this crushed
crowd of Orientals, have your turn, and
the skillful and strong armed oarsmen
whisk you through the opening in the
reefs, across the shallow harbor, and
then suddenly, when you are twenty or
Thirdly yards off shore, you are seized
and carried in the bare arms or on the
back of boatman through the shallow
water to the tumble down old quay

ping ;but since the reign ofthe 'unsPeak-
able Turk everything has relapsed into
state of nature. And so from ear
lest times PhGnician and Egyptian,
Roman and Crusader, English and
American, all have to acknowledge
the power of the treacherous waters.
Pursuing our way through the street
we find it rough enough. Once paved
the stones have long since risen or sunk
above or below their proper level. Dust
bins and sewers being apparently alike
unknown to the idle Oriental every kind
| of foulness bestrews the way. The
buildings are of stone, with little or no
wood anywhere, timber being scarce in
Palestine. The arch is hence universal Z;
as you ramble on you see that no light
enters the shops except from the front,
that they are, in fact, something like
miniatures of the gloomy holes some
times made out of railway arches in
England.
Tables of cakes of sweetmeats line
the narrow streets. Rough awnings of
mats, often sorely dilapidated, or tent
cloths. or loose boards resting on o
rickety structure of poles, partially
shade the roadway, Now we meet a
turbaned water carrier with q huge
skin bottle on his back. The bottle is,
in fact,a defunct calf with water instead
Of veal within, and without legs, head
or tail, and offering most forcible il
lustration of the reference to placing
of new wine in old bottles.
Farther on we see bare armed and
bare legged individual in ragged skull
cap, cotton jacket and cotton knicker-
bockers, chaffering with roadside
huckster for some delicacy costing a
farthing or two, from some of the mat
baskets on table; the bearded vendor,
also bare armed and bare legged, sits as
he tries to sell, his head swathed in a
white and red turban and his body in
| pink and white cotton. OF course there
is lounger at his side looking on.
Then again we see an Arab in "Kefi-
yeh" or head shawl, with a band of
camels hair rope, very soft around his
head to keep the flowing gear in its
place, and brown and white stripped
abba" for his outer dress: he is bar
gaining for bride at saddl er's and
trying to cheaper it; and the saddler
sits cross legged on a counter and under
a shady projection of wood and reeds,
which gives him much needed shade.
And thus we see glimpses of ordinary
every day life in the old town of Joppa.
