EGYPTIAN TYPES.


Sights Seen in the Streets of the Khe-
dives Capital City.
Here is string of camels with their
heads aloft above the crowd, moving
with soft step and long stride as
they carry bags of spice that have
come from the distant Soudan. Here
is rich official with his reis running
in front and his pipe-bearer behind.
Here comes a lady of rank perched
high on her padded saddle, riding
stride legs, and except for the large
eyes that glance from the kohl-tinted
eyelids above the white vail, and the
little henna-stained hands that hold
the reins. she might be mistaken for
bale of silk. Peasant women hurry
along with walls hung by kind of
thimble to their head-gear, their 1.-the
forms thinly draped in the long bath
ing gown sort of dress of blue cot
ton, and carrying astride on their
shoulders their little naked children,
with weak eyes and grave faces. There
comes Bedawee on his hardy horse,
that frets under the cruel bit, the sad
die richly caparisoned, and the STIR
rups broad and course as iron shovels.
And here, with many stroke on the
tough quarters of the long-eared dom
key he drives before him, comes the
donkey-boy shouting his "Ruach y
"Shemeenuck," ..Regluk as he
steers some large Englishman, who
sits perched over the quarters of the
"Homar. Crowds there are of
brown-legged, brown-bosomed labor
ers, wearing the kind of gray felt
cap which we see on clowns in the
circus at home; and water-carriers
founder past, bearing the bursting
skins that palpitate and surge with
their liquid contents; and sellers of
bread, carrying fiat cakes on a tray
on their heads; and sellers of swords.

rs Raphael introduced into some of
his pictures, but to be seen in the
flesh only in an Oriental city. Oph-
thalmia is so common in Egypt that
weak eyes are the rule. not the excep-
ton, and total blindness very common.
In no cases, however, are bad eyes
so distressing to witness as in the little
children. Mere infants carry swarms
of flies settled in the corners of their
eyes, and no attempt is made to re-
move them, so that at first when you
see them with such grave and pa
tient little faces it is difficult to re-
frain the impulse to rush to the rescue
of the sufferer and have one good

An has an old hat in the pane;

But builded worser than knew.

But the real ship 1 set afoat
Was nothin' but leaky boat
Without the scantest thread or sail

About 8 O'Clock last evening Thomas

to his pump to get q pitcher Of water,
and upon looking toward his barn saw
that 1t was on are. He imms sdiAtely
gave the alArm and then ran to the
burning building, where he released the
only horge there, after which be turned
the pigs loose. The hre spread rapidly
and In afew minutes the entire building
with its contents was enveloped in
flames.
TheEe was about 100 buuhsls Of oats,
90 bushels OF wheat and 80 tons Of hay
In the barn, In addition to all Mr.
Betty's farming utensils, u wagon, . car.

The only thing saved from the barn was
some harneag, - the flames burned 50
rapidly that IL WAi found impossible TO
get any thing else out. Back of the harm
there wns about 20 tons of straw and
this WAS also destroyed. For several
nights there has been . tramp sleeping
in the barn, and had not some one hap
pened TO think about his being there
and woke him, he would undoubtedly
have been burned to death.
Mr.. Betty has an insurance Of 81 900
on the contents Of the bui ding, but 1t is
not thought this will cover the loss.
There was also an insurance on the
building, but the Amount could not be
AsoertAined.
An alarm WAS struck from box Q, ct
Twentieth and MARKET streets, and the
ensire department respcn led, but only
the Fren 1ship and Washington engines
went TO the burning building. They,
however, could not be Of any service

Driving Old Nick Out of camp

In piece of pine woods about three
miles south of Mt. Holly, N j., colored
camp m citing was organized on Sunday
night with al the pomp and ceremony
incident to such gatherings.
In the camp a rude pulpit of rough
pine boards had been ected, AMI In
front of it was sort of pen filled with
fresh, clean straw and reserved for the
mourneTs, ss those who are suddenly
awakened to their sinful condition are
called. 0n either tide were tall earth
covered platforms, on which two immense
beacon fires of pine knots were burning,
giving a picturesque beauty 10 the scene.
The first thing CT the program was the
ceremony of driving the devil out Of the
camp. This is considered a necessary
proceeding at the outset, as otherwise
the arb enemy might remain and give
the worship pers no end of trou 3le The
captain of the camp, tall, slender man,
With long, gray hair, arose and said:
"Brothering, please rise and git in line
to drive the debIl outen de camp " At
this tins men, women and children
arose, and at q signal from the captain,
began marching around the camp, clap.
ping their hands and stamping their
feet in time to hymn.
