NECTAR OF THE MOORs.
Such is the Coffee of the Orient Served In
the Cafes of the City of Tangiers.


It was a midwinter night in the old
city of Tangiers the seaport of Moroc-
co. Dinner was over and we were
consulting our cigars on the antique
balcony clinging to the side of our lofty
hotel, aud admiring the spacious bay
and weird silent city below us. As
we sat there wondering what we should
do with ourselves. a Spanish gentleman
of our acquaintance came out to US and
said, bri,kly:
"Well gentlemen, how would you
like to make call at the great Moorish
cafe of Murad 81 Hassan this EVENING"
| can assure you that it is we'll worth
a visit
Delighted to go, we all cried at
once and forthwith started.
After winding through dirty, mar.
row, and dangerous streets for some
fifteen minutes we reached "a huge pile
of masonry, one story in height, from
whose low, open doorway bright light
was streaming ont into the darkness.
We entered, and at once found our
selves in large, square room with a
low ceiling. On one side was raised
platform, with chairs scattered around
on it. BY far the larger portion of the
room, though, was covered with mats
aud rugs, on which perhaps fifty ma.

narcotic that produced semi-iutoxica.

took out "A table of inlaid mother-of-

THE LITTLE WHITE HEARSE.
BY ELLA WHEELER.wILcoX

Somebody's baby was buried to-day.
The empty white hearse from the grave rum
bed back,
And the morning somehow seemed less smiling
and gay,
As paused on the walk while it crossed on its
way,
And shadow seemed dawn DER the SUMS
golden track.
Somebody's baby was laid out to rest,
White as q snow-drop and fair 10 behold,
And the soft little hands were crossed over the
breast,
And the hands, and the lips, and the eyelids
were pressed
With kisses as hot as the eyelids were cold.
Somebody saw it go out OF her sight
Under the coffin-lid, out of the door;
Somebody finds only darkness and blight
All thro the glory of summer sunlight
Some one whose baby will waken no more.
Somebody's SORROW is making me weep;
| know Tot her name, but echo her cry
For the dearly bought baby she longed so to
keep
The baby that rode to its long-lastiDg sleep
In the little white hearse that was rumbling
by.
know not her name but her sorrow know;
While passed on the crossing l lived it once
more,
And back to my heart surged that river Of woe
That but in the breast of mother can fiow
For the little white hearse has been, too at
my door

ChriSt9S Rule.


short time ago the whole Sunday school
world was studying about the Golden Rule,
that rule, which if obeyed, would make a
heaven upon earth, already begun. Human
nature in all its frailty finds it difficult to
live up to this high standard even among
friends, but how much more so to love enc
mics.
Perhaps this accounts partly for the ex-
listing evils in society to-day, especially in
regard to the relation of the prisoner to all
the rest of the world.
The observance of this wonderful Rule.
simple and yet so perfect. would lead to the
removal of the ever present temptation to
drunkenness, which is the cause of so much
evil doing. would hold out helping hand
to the friend or enemy even, who IS strug-
Cling against temptation, would lift the
fallen and help him to stand if possible, and
would mete out punishment with heartfelt
sorrow for the sin, rather than with anger
toward the sinner.
On the other hand. if the prisoner HIM
self would remember to obey this plain d.
men should do unto yOu," he would never
rob his fellOwman, never do him physical
injury, in short, would never become SUBJ
ject to arrest and Imprisonment. However,
when punishment is administered in the
spirit of the Master, it may be considered
the observance of the Golden Rule in the
highest sense, and many prisoner who has
thanked God for the day when he was ar
rested in his downward course has learned
to recognize it as blessing in disguise.
If all prison officials would remember the
plain directions of Christ's rule, what cause
could there be for hard and revengeful feel
ngs or unruly conduct on the part of the
prisoner, while if all prisoners should put
in practice this rule, what cause could there
be for official severity? and when the pub
lie follows itsiteachings showing by friendly
words and helpful deeds brOtherly kind
ness toward those released from prison, then
may we not hope to see the majority of dis
charged men and women becoming honest,
upright, and useful members of society.
When may we look for this glad state of af.
fairs? The answer is plain-when God
reigns in every heart, and it is a hope that
the love of God may find place in the
hearts of our brothers and sisters within
walls, that the Christian Aid Association,

and all others who love God and man, come

JUDGE OF A PICTURE"-VAN DYKE.
l. In deciding to the merits of picture the
first question that presents itself should be lis it
well executed" If it is not technically correct
the artist cannot hope to attract favorable at
tention by mere dramatic or poetic effect. 2. The
two leading features of painting to be studied
are form and color principally the latter the eye
being very susceptible to color. 3. Regarding the
education in the art of painting of the native born
American the author says that it has been sadly
neglected. 4. The first caution offered by the
author regarding color is. beware Of your natural
taste as it is likely to lead you astray. beware Of
bright or high colored pictures, not that they
all bad. but most of them are. 5. The number of
painters who have lived numbers in tho thou
sands yet you can count on your two hands those
who have become cOlorists. 6. In studying pict-
ure the author advises us not to be led astray by
glare or glitter; in gallery of pictures should
follow the same good judgment that should gov
ern us in our daily life. 7. The work of the mod
ern school known the Spanish Roman. is re-
markable for the effective and harmonious man.
ner in which they handle the high keys of color
8. Harmony is the relation Of color qualities. g.
Harmony is produced by the grouping together of
colors and tints that sympathetic or compli-
mentary one to the other, using as few sharply
defined dividing lines between colors as possible,
as they approach a change in color gradually add
ing that color to the one in SO that the eye
can hardly detect the exact line of division. 10.
The cOlOrs termed warm and cold are so called
from the effect the eye has upon the mind when
resting upon them; and as the result of the well
defined impression the respective coIors leave
upon the mind they classified as follows:
Warm-reds. orange and yellows. Cold-blues.
green's and violets. IL. There is but one way to
acquire an art knowledge of harmony and tn at is
diligent study of the works of acknowledged col
orists. IL. 1t is said that the people of India are
able to perceive three hundred different shades
of color not perceptible to European eyes; the
fact is attributable to their years of association
