The Arab shop is 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 OF 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 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.

The piano tuner is not necessarily a
great artist, nor even a good player, but
to be good tuner knowledge and ex-
perience must be necessary, and he must
possess a 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 key why
it is out of order, and then if he operates
for time under the supervision of a
first class tuner he is apt to achieve very
good success IN the tuning field. Seat

Riris Are Not Slauchtered-

A great deal of unnecessary agitation
ms been excited over the barbarity Of
wearing birds and birds wings on bon
nets, for it now appears that the largest
number of birds used for millinery pur-
poses are made up. A few real hum
ming birds and other small ones are
killed for the purpose, but they are ex-
ceptiOns to the general rule and very ex-
pensive. The feathers of the ordinary
fowl are dyed with much care. and in
order TO blend the various tints in a har-
monious reproduction of the real bird
each feather IS stuck on separately by
skilled and clever workmen. MANY of
these strange fantastic winged creatures
are made and imported from Paris, but
the most expensive and natural come
from manufacturer in Berli1.-New

The Critics True Function.

Your individual self perfection is the
most laudable thing in the world to
strive for, but as the nucleus Of gospel
it is insipid. Frequent the busy haunts
of men who occupy themselves with kin
dred pursuits not literally, Of necessity,
but sympathetically and in imagination.
1t is in union that there is strength.
Remark tendencies, try to sum them up,
to point out their significance and direc-
ton. Few men can be Ruskins-et en-
core!
And do not imagine that you can per-
manently attach and benefit your kind
by the mere force of correct, gentle and
chaste diction on the one hand, or of set
ting an example of repose and serenity
on the other, because nowadays warfare
of any kind-even literary criticisms
accustomed to weapons Of more robust
ness and reality, and in this sphere
preaching by specific precept is far more
efficient than preaching by general ex-
ample. And the most important of all
things is to be in harmony with ones
time and environment. Be sure, 0 critic!
there is something magical in this. how
ever it may transcend consciousness.
See, for instance, how much finer is Mr..
Woodberry's essay on Browning-a piece
of real criticism-than are his lucubra-
tons about ''the ideal life. "-Scribner' s..

Demand for Larger Dynamos.

Professor Thomson, in speaking before
the National Electric Light association,
called to mind the great work in the
electrical field which has been accom-
plished in the last few years, and, refer
ring to the ever increasing business and
the cali for larger machines, said that
dynamos up to 500 to 1000 horse power
are now frequently called for, where a
few years ago it was thought an unusual
thing to speak of a $50 or 200 horse pow
er machine, and the tendency is toward
machines of much larger capacity in
future electric installations.
With regard to heating our houses by
electricity, Professor Thomson thought
it not at all likely that we will ever heat
extensively by electricity, unless we can
find some way of converting the energy
of coal into electricity far more directly
and less wastefully than is done in steam
engines Of the present day. - Boston

Freezing Out the Ants.

The inhabitants of cold climates have
little idea Of the ferceness of the conflict
which has been carried on from time I'M
memorial between man and the ant
tribe, and can hardly appreciate the ex-
traerdinary capacity shown by these
tireless insects in their depredations
upon the human race. In the tropics no
satisfactory remedy has yet been de-
vised by which the balance of advantage,
always in faver of the ant as against
man, can be overcome, and the insignifi
cant looking insect, by force Of numbers,
industry and perseverance, is master OF
the situation.
Even in more temperate regions like
some parts of our southern states ants
are troublesome enemies. 1t is suggested
that ants may be frozen out Of existence
by means of cask of the freezing MKT
ure used by engineers in excavating in
quicksands fixed over the entrance of the
nest, the other entrances being closed
with clay, with tube placed in the
hole also well packed with clay. The
pressure from the head Of liquid would,
it is claimed, be sufficient to drive the
freezing mixture down into the furthest
recesses of the ants galleries, which
would almost instantly become lined
with solid ice, or, at all events, would be
made so cold that no ant, however tena-
cious of life it might be, could long sur
vive the exposure.
These freezing mixtures are not very
expensive, and it is possible that the
progress of science has here achieved
victory in the interest Of man for which
SO many generations have commended in
vain.-Garden and Forest.

Suicjfes of Peers,

It may be interesting to mention that
there are no fewer than twelve cases on
record during the present century Of sui
eide among MEMBERS of the peerage.
These are Lord French, Lord London
derry, Lord Greaves, Lord James Beres-
ford, Lord Munster, Lord Congleton,
Lord Forth. Lord Cloncurry, Lord Wal
singham, Lord Delawarr, Lord Lyttle-
ton and Lord Shaftesbury. Besides these
DR.. Samuel Butcher, bishop of Meath,
took his own life in 1875. and the Dow
ager Lady Howe met similar tragic
end in the following year.-London Tit

TIT for TAT.

The following story is told of DR.. Ma
gee, the archbishop of York designate.
Some time since the bishop was dining
with total abstainer, who provided
only water as the beverage of his guests
at dinner. The host, however, leaned
forward and whispered con6dentialy to
the bishop:
you will find some wine in your bed
room"
An amusing look passed over Bishop
Magee's face, but his thoughts, such as
they We're, were kept to himself TIL the
fitting time should come. Not long after
this same gentleman was dining with
the bishop in return at the palace at
Peterborough This time the only bev-
erage was wine, but the bishop leaned
forward and whispered contidentially to
his guest:
You'll find some water in your bed

Summer schools have increased great
ly in numbers in the land during the
past ten years. They have doubtless been
a source of much good to many people in
many places, but we do not often hear
of just the sort of improvement which
has come to Deerfeld from the establish
ment there of the summer school of his
tory and romance.
The school has done everything for
the residents" said one enthusiast.
'Why, there is one poor old sick woman
there who used TO call her disease rheu-

She Stopped Smiling.

A young lady, wearing stylish COS
tune in jannty manner, stepped off a
car at Madison avenue and Forty-third
street Wednesday. She suddenly had
occasion to get down On all fours in the
mud, and, settling over on her side, sank
broadside into the aristocratic Murray
Hill slush. A woman standing at the
edge of the curb near saw her PROSTATE
sister and smiled. While she was smil-
ing gust of wind blew off her little cap
and placed it in the center of large,
deep puddle. Words fail to give an idea
of the misery of the jaunty maid. The
moral is obvious.-New York Continent.
