Next to the very picturesque effect o
these airy, pretty garments, perhaps tn,
most surprising thing was the great mum.
Der Of donkeys, carrying large bright
colored cloth saddles, that thronged the
streets. Each of these is attended BY a
boy in the dress described above, who
runs behind it and Shouts at it and whips
it. At first sight it looked as though
there were almost as many donkeys as
people in the streets.
The native women constantly ride don
keys and very curious figures they look
IN the saddle. OF course woman in
this country thinks it as great disgrace,
unless one of the very lowest class Of the
people. to expose her face as TO expose
any other pars of her person. The eyes
only are visible. the mouth being kept
most scrupulously covered Very large,
loose garments, generally Of shiny, black
silk, are worn by ladies when out of
doors, and they ride cross-legged, but
with stirrups 50 short that their limbs do
net hang down at all, but are in an al
most horizontal position. In fact, they
rather suggest frussed chickens. In this
way they have hardly any hold on the

side them and support them. Some Of
the donkeys are magnificent, proud-look-
ing white or gray animals, as large as
rather small mule, and carry gorgeous en-
5roidered saddles and saddle-cloths of
red velvet or blue cloth. Most Of the
hack donkeys, on the other hand, are in
'ignihcant-looking little beasts, which
are most inappropriate when carrying
some great, fat Turkish merchant or a
long-iegged, rfAcoated English soldier.
Wealthy Egyp will often pay $500
Tor a really good donkey, while excellent
ponies can be bought for a quarter OF a
third Of the money.

There were forty-six cremations at
Working, England, last year, double the
number for 1888. In Paris the number
reached 5000, but this included bodies
from the hospitals and anatolAical labora-

increasing in Italy and Germany.

into the Office of Handy 81 Hartman,

sanguine could wish for. The brilliantly
