QUEER AFRICAN CITY.


Nothing More Oriental in the East Than
Tangier Within sight of Spain.
What is there to see in Tangier and
why do American tourists after 1.-THE run
through Spain think it quite essential
to visit the Barbary coast? can answer
for one party. A sagacious friend who
recently went from the straits of Glib
ralter to the Bosporus said to us before
we left nome: ssYou will see nothing
more purely oriental than Tangier in ali
your proposed Journey" Certainly we
have found the place so completely for
eign to all our ideas that only the old
fashior,,d word 'outlandishn seems ade-
quate to describe it. Here is the most
western of all the seaports of northern
Africa, lying within sight of the coast
of Spain and the rock of Gibraltar, a
place of 1906 inhabitants, upon whose
ways of life and thought European
Christian civilization has scarcely made
an impression. Yet more than two hum
dred years ago this city for ashort period
belonged to the English crown 1t is
now the residence of the foreign minis
ters who are accredited to the Sultan of
Morocco.
1t is in almost daily communication
with France, Spain and Gibraltar, both
England and Spain maintaining post
offices, with separate bureaus. stamps
and mail-bags. There are newspapers
published here in English and Spanish.
The Hotel Continental is so good that
there is current mot to the effect that
the best hotel in Europe may be found
in Africa. The English come here at
certain seasons for SPORT the particu-
lar attraction being the chase Of wild
bears, for which manual of ''hog-stiek-
ing" has been deliberately set forth.
Yet, Notwithstanding all this, the
Moors and the Jews go on in their old
fashioned ways as if they were living in
the fifteenth century. Indeed, it is
easy to believe that we see in Tangier
much of the same sort of life which pre-
vailed in Southern Spain four hundred
| years ago-before the conquest of Gra-
uada-with one important qualification:
Tangier has nothing which suggests the
/ learning, the science, the arts, or even
the sacredness of the great cities of
/ Andalusia when Moorish sway was dom
/ inant The Arabic or Mohammedan
dominion, without the Arabic enlighten-
ment, loses all the charm which is sug-
gested by what is even now to be seen
/ in Cordova, Granada and Seville.-Cor.

The remarkable series of Alpine dis
asters in 1888 were evidently taken to
heart by. mountain climbers, for the last
season has been almost without TRACE

sands who last summer scrambled up
and down hundred slopes in Switzer,
land all returned home unseathed,
though a few of them had some ugly
tumbles which will teach them to OBJ
serve greater caution when they next
appear on the Alpine snow fields. The
season would have been entirely devoid
of exciting incidents If two or three
fatal accidents had not occurred in the
Bavarian and Austrian Alps. There
were also some hair-breadth escapes, as
for instance, that of the North German
tourist, who, with his guide, tumbled
head over heels down mountain side a
distance of 5,4i5 feet, and still lives to
tell the tale. A story Ike that will en-

both having come finally to the father,
he promised to give his child to the
one that painted the best picture.
With the highest skill his genius
could command each strove for the
maiden. One painted a picture of
fruit, and displayed it for the fathers
inspection in beautiful grove where
gay birds sang sweetly among the foli-
age, and all Nature rejoiced in the
luxuriance of bountiful life. Presently
the birds came down to the canvas of
the young painter and attempted to eat
the fruit he had pictured there. In his
surprise and JOY at the young artists
skill the father declared that no one
could triumph over that. Soon, how
ever, the second lover came with his
picture, and it was vailed. take the
vail from your painting" said the old
man. Il leave that ito you," said the
young artist, with simple modesty. The
father of the young and lovely maiden
then approached the vailed picture and
attempted to uncover it But great

RoBINsoN,s MISTAKE.


no MADE Merry with n Bow-Legged Mnu
without Calculating Chances.
The stranger was bow-legged to an ex-
tent not often met with, and as conse-
quence his walk was not as graceful az
q gazelle's. When he rolled up to the
crowd Robinson looked at his legs crit
ically for moment and said:
Gents, stand apart. please, and per-
NIT this animated horse-collar to mass
through"
The bow-legged man scowled savapely
at Robinson and shuffied on. Robinson
continued, in tone SO that he could be
overheard:
Now, gents, there Is man who could
earn his seventy five dollars week II he
would consent to stand In a museum and
exhibit those callipers OF flesh and blood
which have been bestowed upon him as
legs"
The man was so bow-legged that he
seemed little more than three feet high.
whereas he ought to have been six, and
Robinson thought it very good Joke
when he stopped and looked back at him
with something like war in his eyes.
Robinson continued:
"Our bow-legged friend here used to
do great act in circus by jumping
through hoop and never breaking the
paper pasted over 1T. He didn't, as q
matter OF fact, exactly jump through the

Sundays Sun quoted the following as
a tax axiom:
The exemption of n part of the prop
erty of the same class which is made the
subject of taxation is spoliation OF that
part which is discriminatory burthcned.
1t then applies this axiom bodily to a
proposed taxation ofthe coal output with
ont reference to anything else. While
there is no good reason why any business
should escape its Just share of the bur
thens OF taxation. THE LEADER Goes
very much further when it calls attention
to the glaring determinations made be
tween the taxes proportionately paid by
those best sble to bear them compared
with those who are least able. The time
Of the legislature should be less occupied
in discovering new subjects for taxation
than in equalizinG and adjusting the bur
thens as they now exist.
Let the legislature conceive a law which
will make the rich man pay dollar for dol

much of the stupendous folly of the pres

Almost as Good n Man AS Her BROTHERS.
There is living ut a point on East bay,
near Pensacola, a remarkable family of
four boys and N young m The
boys consider their sister to be one of
themselves, she being in nearly every re-
spect as handy as a boy should be, and
sharing the labors of her brothers. They
can draw the lines of a ship, hew the
timbers, build and launch her, and then
sail her around the world. The schoon
er Axel, a fine little vessel which they
have built, is at present somewhere on
the gulf under command of Capt. o.,
one of the brothers, who is a most expert
navigator.
The other brothers and sister are now
engaged in building another and a larger
vessel, which is well under way, and
which, when completed and launched,
will be one of the stanchest crafts sailing
the Mexic sea. The draughtsman who
furnished the lines upon which she is
being constructed is one of the brothers,
the carpenters who are building her are
the draughtsman and his brothers and
sister, and the master who will sail her
will be II of the boys, who will take
the remainder of the family for the crew.
For miles and miles in all directions from
the home the boys have secured the for
ests looking for natural crooks to be
used as timbers, a great many of which
they have found and used as such. The
work has so far progressed hat the stem
will be put in in a few days, when plank

see a feat in bill posting such rs seems
hardly credible, now that | sit calmly
down to write of it. a WACO having
driven up, five men got out of it; n ]
recognized as Mart Ready, Barnnm's
boss poster, two were Americans in their.
neat duck overalls, and two were Eng
Iish bill stickers whose appearance
would rather not describe. In two min
utes after their arrival the duck over
allied men had out their tin cans full of
paste and their eight foot long poles with
brushes at the end, and were hard at it
covering the boarding with paste from
top to bottom, from end to end. The
Englishmen stood by with something
like sneers on their faces, as who should
say: "Well, there amt much in that;
we can cover a boarding with paste,
too" Another minute passed and Ready
began handing out some carefully folded
posters. The Englishmen's faces relaxed
a little, as who should say: What axe
they goin' to do now and they began
to whisper together.
The two Americans seized one of the
folded posters, gave it a shake, ran the
brush end of the long poles under it,
raised it, gave a sweep and another
sweep, and there On the boarding was a
sixteen sheet poster, containing a fac
simile of an open letter from p. T. Bar
num-, headed my Greatest Venture"
Then followed a twelve sheet poster
portrait of Barnum, a forty-eight sheet
depicting the show tents as they travel
in America, a twenty-four sheet picture
of Jumbo, a forty-eight sheet representa-
ton of the gallery of human freaks of
nature, a thirty-six sheet portrait of the
fair Indian snake charmer from the
Bowery, New York, a forty-eight sheet
picture of the menagerie, a t~hirty-six
sheet portrait of the Mexican rider, a
forty-eight sheet representation of the
elephants performing, a twenty-four
sheet picture of the clowns and a twenty
four sheet portrait of Miss Clara O'Brien,
the Roman knife thrower.
AL along the tops and the bottoms of
the pictures ''streamers' were pasted.
The most remarkable fact, however, was
that every one of these huge posters was
slung up into position whole-they had
been pasted together before starting.
