In Tangiers.

The Arab shop is n mere box in the
wall without windows, neither does it
bear any name or number. The shop
door is raised some distance higher than
the street, and when this is open in the
morning the merchant jumps in and
squats down on q cushion within easy
distance of his goods. Here he attends
to his customers, who stand outside in
the street to examine his wares
The notary and scribe sit In an open
place and their clients are attended to in
public. We have never heard what a
lawyers fees are for a consultation in
this country, but we know a charge is
made for drawing up public documents,
such sum depending upon the character
of the work required to be done. Justice
is delivered by the governor in the gate,
as it was in olden times. We do not
mean by this that justice is administered
as we understand it in England. No; it
is carried out after the Moorish fashion,
bribery forming the chief feature
Tangier is the nearest town to Europe
of all the Moorish. ports, and certainly
the most important. 1t was once under
the crown of Portugal, afterward that
of England; but 200 years ago it was
abandoned to the Moors, and has re-
NAMED in their hands ever since, leaY-
ing no trace of Christian occupation. It
has no architectural adornment worth a
passing notice.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Requisites of a piano Tuner.

The piano tuner is not necessarily a
great artist, nor even good player, but
to be good tuner knowledge and ex-
perience must be necessary, and he must
possess degree of common sense to en-
able him to meet the requirements aris-
ing from so complex an Instrument.
''Some people are naturally adapted to
the art" observed prominent dealer in
pianos the other day, while others could
work at it all their lives and still not be
able to tune piano properly. Their
hearing is not delicate enough, and their
sense of touch not sufficiently developed
After man gets the theory of tuning
he should take about three years for a
practical education of his hand and ear,
so that he can tell by striking a key why
it is out of order, and then if he operates
for a time under the supervision of a
first class tuner he is apt to achieve very
good success in the tuning field. Seat

Lunch or Luncheon.

nothing more. a luncheon, according to
DRYDEN. Is a hunch of bread cut from the
loaf Now, when it Is said 10y slipshod
writers that "a nice little lunch was served
during the evening" that is not what 3
meant at all. The hunch Of bread, the
stop gap taken at noontime, is very diff
ferent affair from the 'supper'-a meal,
whatever its proportions, which follows
dinner as surely as night follows day. If
that appetizing repast, consisting Of crack
ers and cheese, or the toOthsome Welsh
rarebit, or any other indigestible dainty
that tops off an evening, is called lunch"
it is grievous error in the ears Of etymol-

By the side Of the leader rode Garnett,
the scout and guide. In his veins were
mingled the blood of southern chivalry
and savage royalty. His father was Gen.
! Garnett, originally of the regular army,
but who later cast in his fortunes with the
Lost Cause and fell on the field OF battle.
His mother was a Sioux squaw, the sister
Of Old Smoke, the last chief who reigned
as absolute ruler of all the tribes making
up the Dakota nation. Garnett provided
for his handsome half breed son, and also
for a daughter by the same union. Early
in life the brother and sister were sent n
France to be educated. but when their
father died they deliberately returned TO
the teepees of their mothers race.
There, too, in the front rank were an ex.
speaker of the lower house of the legisla-
tdre of a western state, old Leon Palliday,
The interpreter, and Broncho Bill, the most
reckless and triumphant hacker of a buck

At last the distant ridge was reached,
and the toilsome scramble up its side be

winded, but the brisk ride had only served
to increase the eagerness of the men.
Forward was the cry.
