A London magazine tells how a Moorish
lady Of quality expressed her astonishment at
the sight OF some photographs OF English
ladies, saying they couldn't be 30 bold as to
have their pictures taken. Finally she was
shown the photograph Of an English woman
in full evening costume. "Wallahm she ex-
claimed, "you are laughing at me- This is
impossible No modest woman could allow
any stranger 60 see picture Of herself with
her bosom thus exposed" Then she ex-
claimed, in high excitement; "May Allah
curse her and her house and her offspring to
all eternityi Shame on herl" It is evident
that the Moors have missed some Of the re-
timing influences Of civilization.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.



Philadelphia Times.
Senator Frye's subsidy bills have at
least the merit OF reducing to concrete
figures the abstract idea which finds SO
many advocates just now Of promoting
American shipping by means Of bounties.
One Of Mr.. Frye's bills provides a sub
sidy for iron steamers Of 1900 tons or
over at the rate Of six dollars per mile
for each outward voyage, or four dollars
per mile for steamers Of 1000
tons. The other bill provides a
general bounty on all vessels
of one third Of mill per ton register for
each minenayigated. A European steamer
at this rate would draw sbout $le, 600 for
every trip. Allowing fol round trip.

The SpOrtsman's Paradise Scourged by
Unconquerable Flames.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Levere, who has
just returned from Vashon island where
he went to serve legal papers, reports
Browns prairie on the island to be on fire.
The deputy says that the timber on the
prairie and the forests adjacent are doomed,
and that the fire Is raging with such fury
that the farmers and other settlers have
made no effort or attempt at heading
off or staying the advance of the fierce con-
fagration.
Mr.. Levere started out across the island
on foot to attend to business on which he
was sent. but was forced to give it up and
returning got horse and guide and then
did better. He had attempted to cross a
portion of the island that had fallen prey
to the fire and SO devastated was the i'm
mediate region that all trace of the trail
was Obliterated and for at ime he was COM
pletely and hopelessly lost. Mr.. Levere
says that the portion of the island not dis
turbed by the forest fires, is at present a
veritable paradise for the hunter. The
woods are full of deer, and the grass and
foliage of the trees are literally alive with
grouse, few other varieties of winged
game being also plentiful.
