WOMEN OF TIE NILE.
The Peculiarities of Looks, Dress an
Customs Among Them

The Peculiarities of Looks, Dress and
Customs Among Them.
In youth the women of Egypt, writes a
correspondent of Truth, generally have
lovely forms-plump, supple and elegant.
An excess of flesh is rare among them.
Graceful curves, and upright carriage and
finely nodded hands and feet are common
characteristics. Their faces, too, are usu-
ally pleasing and often beautiful, with the
richly-tinted softness of the South So
sweet is the expression of their faces, so
bewitching are the glances of their dark
eyes, that an experienced traveller declares
they are the most perfect women in the
world.
The eyes of nearly all are large. black
and almond shaped their soft expression,
still further heightened by long lashes and
the universal use of "kohl," with which
they blacken the edges Of the lids They
have oval faces, sometimes little broad,
and clear olive compilations. The lips are
usually quite full. The nose is straight,
though a little wide. Glossy black hair,
with eyebrows that form lovely arch,
complete the features Of these sirens,
famed since Cleopatra for beguiling beauty
They dress the hair in an elaborate
| fashion 1t is cut short over the forehead,
but on either side of the face hangs full
lock, often curled or braided. The rest of
the HAN is arranged in numerous braids
usually from eleven to twenty-five, but
always an odd number. Three black silk
cords, bearing little ornaments of gold,
are generally fastened to each braid, hang
ing down the back in glittering shower.
The head-dress is complex arrangement.
1t consists Of kind of turban, round
which is commonly bound a gay kerchief
or long strip of muslin folded into a
narrow band. The latter is usually black
or rose-colored. The central part is orna-
mented for several inches with spangles
that fall over the forehead, while the ends
are decked with gay edging and tassels
of colored silks, above which a few more
spangles are sewn.
On the crown of the head dress is worn
a round convex ornament called the "kursn
1t is about five inches in diameter and as
costly as the wearer can afford. Wealthy
ladies, and even the wives of some small
tradesmen, wear those composed of dia-
monds set in gold. Others wear simple
golden kurs, silver being seldom seen, even
among servants The head vail consists
of long piece of white muslin embroid.
cred at each end with colored silk and
gold, or of colored crepe ornamented with
gold thread and spangles. This is drawn
well forward upon the head, while the
long ends hang down behind nearly to the
ground. The face vail, always worn in
public, is a simple strip of white muslin
fastened just below the eyes, from which
it falls nearly TO the feet. 1t completely
hides all the features except the eyes, but
as these are commonly the greatest beauty
of the women, it serves rather to heighter
admiration than to quell it.

How to Breathe When Reading.

NJ. Legouve tells the anecdote of Talma
watching the actor Dorival from the
prompter's box until he had disco yered
his secret, which consisted in always tax
ing fresh breath before the last one was
quite exhausted, and in doing his best to
conceal the beginning of each phrase by
starting whenever he could on an a, or
an o-"that is to say, at the point where
the fact of the mouth being already
open makes it possible to take breath
lightly without the action being per-
ceived." Again, Dele, Sedie, the cele-
brated singer, could run up and down
the scale in front OF a lighted candle
without the fame wavering. "How is this
done" 1t is because he employs exactly
the quantity of breath needed to carry the
notes. If you or were to try it we should
simply waste our breath.
In the chapter on Pronunciation NJ.
Legouve insists, and the point can scarcely
be too much pressed, on the value, the alb
solute need, in fact, of clear articulation as
opposed to E.ere exertion of voice. This
he illustrates by a story of Boufie when he
was playing Pere Grandet in the "Fille de
| pAvre" When ne came to the most
touching scence of the piece, when the old
miser finds that he is robbed, the actor be-
gan to scream OUT the words as he was ac-
customed to. At the end of few minutes
the sound died away on his lips, and he
was compelled to continue in murmur.
What happened? That he was thousand
times more true and more touching than
before, because he was obliged to make
up for weakness of voice by force of articu-
lation. 1t is true that one cannot speak
without voice, but voice alone has so little
to do with diction that there are readers,
orators and actors to whom the very ex-
tent of their voice is a drawback Unless
they are skilled in articulation the volume
of sound devours the sense.

A SERPENT FISHING SEALS.
A Scene of Ordinary Collision in Animal
Lie at the Tronics.


The Buenos Ayres Standard has the fol-
lowing bit of hunting experience in that
country: was padding along in small
canoe on one of the numerous tributaries
Of the Rio Parana, looking for ducks or
anything worth shooting, when suddenly
heard behind me a fearful yell and great
splashing in the water. A bend in the
river prevented me from seeing what it
was, but, thinking it was some tapirs or
carpinchos bathing, turned my canoe III
order to get a shot at them, and saw a
huge snake hanging from a tree with his
body curled two or three times around an
unfortunate seal. The water around them
was foaming, and every now and then the
seal and the fore part of the snake would
disappear below the surface and remain
below for several seconds. until in mo-
ment the snake would twist his body into
a sort of corkscrew shape and lift the seal
right out Of the water, and they would re-
main swinging in the air, only supported
by the snakes tail. At one time saw
the second seal jump clean out of the
water to catch hold Of the snake, and all
three remained in the air, roaring and
yelling most fearfuily for some time, when
suddenly they dropped into the water
again, the snake never losing his hold of
the tree.
AS none CT the combatants seemed to be
in the least affected by my approach, 1
put my canoe within some ten or twelve
yards of them, SO as to have good
shot at the snake the pext time they
appeared, and | had scarcely laid down
my paddle and caught up my gun when
they came up again. ! aimed right at
the snake where he had curled himself
around the seal, and gave him both bar
rels. The effect could not have been
greater. The snake let go Of the tree and
fell with the whole length of his body
| into the water, splashing me all over, and
then again the three disappeared. After
| about minute both seals came I'D on the
other side of the canoe, looking at me and
shaking their heads in the same way as
dogs do when they come out of water.
They had both white breasts, and | no
| ticed that one Of them was bleeding from
a wound in the neck, but whether from
my shot or from bite of the snake |
could not tell.
The snake little later crawled up the
barranca" out Of the water, as If nothing
was the matter with him, so gave him
one more which made him disappear in
the bushes, where /, being alone in the
canoe, thought it more prudent not to fol
low him. He was very big one
for from the branch to which he
had his tail attached down to the
water was a distance of some four
teen feet, and when he fell his tail
nearly reached my canoe. | do not un.
derstand, though, how he would have
managed to eat one of the seals, each one
| of which was the size of an ordinary man

A Prediction.

A Nevada exchange says that Captain
Each, Piute, who is said to have kicked
up his heels and cavorted all over the alkali
plains of Nevada for more than eighty
summers, being questioned in regard to the
weather the coming winter, said: "You
see nm this winter he be one of two. If he
take warm road he be more warm as
any winter in long time; if he take cold
road he be worst winter ever you dam see
He no like common winter-he big hot or
big cold"
