 The greeting of two Arabs on the street is very prettily expressed. They clasp hands and then each man kisses his own hand which has just touched his friends and their strong, manly faces beam with pleasant expressions so unlike the grunt and nod our En- glish cousins give each other as they pass by.
 There can be nothing more harmon ious than the softcolorings of the mems costumes, which they wear under their large white burnouses. Green is the color of Mohamet, and with it they wear soft faded pink sashes and rich velvet waistcoats, heavily embroidered in gold

A SAD, PITIFUL BEAUTY.
SHE BELONGS IN THE HAREM
 OF A DESPOTiC RULER.
Something About the Women in an Algerian Harem-Superb Faces and Gorgeous Costumcs-A Street Scene in the City oC Aigicrs.

The position of the Arab woman in Algiers is far superior to that of her sex in Turkey, and the French law, which is rigidly enforced prevents her being sold into slavery. She is. how ever, "the victim of brutalizing so- cial code, founded on and wound up in a religion whose theory is pure but whose practice IS barbarous."
 When a child is born to Moorish woman she considers it a blessing if it be boy, curse if girl and directly the girl comes into the world she is baptized in the name of Fathma, which is the name of the mother of the prophet. A week after another name is given her-the choice lies between only nineteen names, the prettiest of which are Mimi. Zina. Fora and Ha- lima.
 The little girl natures early and is married at ten or twelve years of age. As for her fatber, it is all he knows of his daughter when some one takes her from him in marriage. If the child be the daughter of poor parents she grows up to be beaten, overworked and de- spised. If rich girl she is neglected by her mother and is given over to the care of an old negress till she is old enough to be married, and then her life is lived out in harem.
 The French have tried to suppress the harems, and in n measure they have succeeded, but among the rich there Is no power on earth that can force them to change their ways of living. The government has guaran teed to the natives the possession of the civil law. which is the Koran, and the social code and civil law are one. They might as well decree that the women go unveiled or the men change their costumes as to interfere with the domestic arrangements of the Moorish customs.
 The wives of the rich Arabs are kept more in seclusion. than their poorer sisters, but on Fridays (Mohammedan Sunday they are allowed to visit the

spent with his fatheron the farm. His education was only such as the average farmer boy of that day reeeived-a few months in winter at the log school house. His parents were strictly Chris tian. and he was trained in all the rigidity of the Puritan doctrines. To- haeco he never used in any form and an oath was never heard to escape his lips. The worst language he remem- bers using was when he charged cow with being possessed with the devil, and he has always regretted that he did not speak of her instead as a bad COW, which he thinks would have answered just as well.
 shortly before the war of 1872 Mir Brooks left the farm and at the village of Milford in the same State, engaged as an apprentice in the blacksmith shop of an older brother Near the close of the war his brother was draft ed and to obey the summons must leave a dependent family. Young Brooks, who was still single, promptly offered to go as substitute. Enlisting. he served for three months in the capa city of cook, and the war having closed was honorably discharged. He has forgotten his company and the number of his regiment, but remembers Col. John Steele as the commander He re- turned to Hancock. where two years later he was united in marriage to Miss Deidamia Brooks, of that village. The venerable wife died in 1869. From this union came nine children, five of whom, three sons and two daughters, are now living; John at Lickleys Cor ners, William at Reed City, James at Walaron Deidamia at Jack son, and Charlotte at Harrison. Soon after his marriage Brooks emigrated to Unadilla, N. Y, There, after few years at farming, he resolved to come still farther west, and again fixing up his emigrant wagon pushed out. He was headed for northern Ohio or south ern Michigan, but meeting at Cattarau- gus returning party from the west he was so discouraged by their report of the country that he settled at Cattarau- gus and remained for twenty years, while III a sawmill. In 1s+3 he put into execution his resolve to come to Michi- gan, settling in Pittsford township, where he wo iSed farm for twenty eight years and then removed in 1871 to the homestead in Wright township, wheO he now resides with his son James Five years ago his tooth birth day was publicly celebrated in grove near his home, where there were over 1000 people assembled in honor of the occasion. Three brass bands, several C. A. K. posts, and various other organi- cations were in attendance.

 When Natalie sent a written remon- strance to the SlSuptschina, that body refused to read it. The brave ex-queen persisted in her attempts to be reunited to her son, whom she was not permit ted to see, and was finally ordered by the Servian authorities to quit Servian territory and upon her refusal they made an attempt to remove her by force. She was compelled to enter a carriage and was being rapidly driven toward the frontier, when the students of the university were informed of the fact. They rallied to her defense ,rout-

 F A. kirchner, one of the largest liquor dealers in Waco, has observed that there are sober rats, who never touch a drop; moderate drinkers, who take just enough, and regular sots who get drunk every day, and possibly go home and beat their families. The drip from the heer faucets is where the rats do their drinking. Tin pans are kept under the faucets to catch the waste beer and protect the floor and to these pans the rats resort.
 The moderate drinker takes sip or two, then wipes his whlskers on his front leg and gallops off. The old toper drinks deep, reels off to the back yard. falls clumsily into his hole, and the squeaking heard after he gets into his cellar indicates either that he's whipping his wife or she him, or that he is making her run after remedies.

He had high reputation as a constitutional lawyer and commanded large fees in his practice. His sobri- quet, "Old Ssddlebags," had its origin in the fact that in his boyhood he was apprenticed to saddler, and 1t was while his days were spent in working at the bench that he fitted himself for the study of the law.

 the scene of bloody resolutions, with certain grotesque parody of civilized government.
 The latest outrage perpetrated by Hippolyte that has been reported took place the last of May, when he sought to violate the right of asylum by talk ing four political prisoners from the Mexican consulate in Port-au- Prince. The entire diplomatic corps called on the president to protest against this violation. MT. Tweedy, who acts in Port-au-Prince as British consul tenn porarily, spoke first and in rather aR- gressive way, which made Hippolyte angry. He jumped up from his chair, saying, "Is this the way to talk to me. the president of this great countryY' and then went out, slamming the door after him.
 In marked contrast to the conduct of the United States minister, Fred DOug- lass, who stood by trembling with fear while the black tyrant raved and in- suited so many civilized nations, was the attitude of the German consul The latter said he was there as a represen- tative of the German empire and the German emperor, and he protested against the rude behavior of the presi- dent and would report the insult to his government. This frightened Hippolyte and he of- fered more explanations and apologies, and, going up to the German consul, patted him on the shoulder, telling him that he had misunderstood him entirely, and abjectly begged him to be pacified. Hippolyte also promised that he would respect the foreign legations and not ;nolest any people that had taken shell ter there. He cabled to President Diaz for permission to take the refugees, which President Diaz granted by tele- graph, and they were taken out and shot the next morning on the Champ de Mars in front of the hotel.

The Dickinson County Bill Favor
ably Reported.


Advices from Lansing are TO
the effect that the Dickinson
county bill was reported favor
ably. also that the bill to detach
eight townships from Marquette
county and attach them 90 the
county of Iron was treated in a
like manner. Iron Mountain is
hanging on hard and will make
a stubborn fight before it sub
mits TO the inevitable defeat.
The Iron Mountain fellows are
ignoring our representatives at
Lansing and have been active
since their bill was reported, in
making quiet bluffs in the mean
ing that unless we ceased our
opposition they would rush the
annexation bill and become a part
of Iron county, scare game with
but little or nothing to back il.
Iron Mountain had the supreme
audacity TO send "A man here this
week with a petition asking that
the township OF Breitung, in Me-
nominee county, be annexed TO
the county of Iron. The petition
was returned without a legitimate
signature. No, there is nothing
for you this year.
