wooden ring which forms tho peril
phery of the cockpit, thus making
perfect seal, and preventing tho
swamping Of tho boat by heavy seas.
The boats used by the Esquimaux are
about seventeen feet In length and two
feet in width. They have no keel,
being half an octagon in shape. Tho
prows are fitted with wlinlcbonc to
protect from floating ice. The paddles
used arc made of drift-wood, and are
sometimes ornamented witt, bone tops.

leeward, at a point between the fore
and main mast. Two sailors then
take the blight of rope; this is lowered
into the water. and the pilot propels
his caiak over the submerged loop.
Another loop is lowered over tho
stern, and third, or stcadying rope,
is lowered to the pilot. The boat is
then hoisted to the rail of tho vessel,
where the pilot is stripped of his caiak,
and is ready to assume his duties. The
Esquimau is formidable only above
his loins. Tho cramped position he
occupies in his boat makes him bow

waist he is easily placed hors de combat.
He is remarkably superstitious, but

bles that charity which begins at but

The Bulbul.

Throughout Ipdia people will make
pets of any animals which can bo in

average small boy. as we'll as children

ular fondncss for a certain little bird
OF ashcn plumagc and black crest.
This was the famous bulbul of which
Hatiz has much to say, and some
Western poets also who have senti-
mentalizcd about the Vulo Of Cashmere
without even having seen 1t. He Is
usually tcthered by string attached
to his leg. and sits upon his owners
finger. or hops about on his arm; some-
times too. he adorns tall perch in
front OF the doorway. A lady at the
hotel remarked that lit was touching
to see how fond these poor people were
of their little birds.o Tho mystery
was soon solved. Returning from q
drive one afternoon, VIC passed the
colossal gateway of the great mosque.
and saw that the broad and towering
flight of steps before tho principal
entrance was covered with scattered
groups Of people. all intent on some
occupation Of absorbing interest. So
vast and imposing WIS the architect

little figures suggested ono Of Muriin's

Some great religious ccrcmOny was
evidently going on. So VIC got out,

each little group was pair Of these

fought as pluckily as the bravest Of

With view to finding out what are

visit was paid to well-known West
street dealer. who, on learning the er-
rand of his visitor. gladly consented to
give him what information he could
on the subject.
"As to styles" he said, "they have
been what l call stationary; in other
words. there have been no very violent
changes. In color the popular shades
always will be white or cream, with a
n time we had quite run of blues and
on the market. Gilt-edge paper is also
a thing of tho past; and, as for the
ragged-edge paper once so popular.
why. we never have call for it now."
How about monogramspn was
asked.
"'Oh, they are still quite fashionable,
and are printed in various colored
brouzcs. but the latest novelty ia that
of stamping the address at the top OF
the paper in red or some other brigh,
color. Fully niuc-tenths of our best
customers now have their paper head.

have some embossed headpiece ib

pansies are the most popular. PLAIN

is never out of style. but of course we
rejoice in all the novelties, us they helr

"Wcll, in the case of the first named.
the gentlemen will stick to the small!
card because it is the more convenient.
but the ladies arc using one which Is
almost square and of large size. only
n little difference being noticed be.
tween those used by married and un.
married ladies'"
In answer to the question as to who
were his best customers. tho dealer
said: '.Tho ladies, by all odds; they
are continually on tho lookout for the
very latest styles. and are sometimes
very fussy. too; but since they leave
the money behind them we do not
much care il they occasionally spend
an hour in trying to make selection.
OF course these arc the exceptions.
Those who use plain stationery give us
the least trouble for they usually know
