THE CITY OF CAIRO.
An Unsightly Place to American Tour
lists.

An Unsightly Place to American Tour
lists.
The real Cairo has been sacrificed to
the Nile. Comparatively few among
travellers In the east see the place
under the best conditions; for upon
their arrival they are preoccupied with
the magical river voyage which beck
ons them southwark, with the dahabee-
yah or the steamer which is to carry
them; and upon their return from that
wonderful journey they are planning
for the more difficult expedition to the
Holy Land. 1t is safe to say that to
many Americans Cairo is onlya confused
memory of donkeys and dragomans,
mosquitoes and dervishes, and MOSQUES,
mosques, mosques! This hard season
probably must be gone through by all.
The wise are those who stay on after it
Is over, or who return; for the true i'm
preston of a place does not come when
the mind is overcrowded and confused;
1t does not come when the ;body is
wearied; for the descent of the vision
serenity of soul is necessary-onem might
even call 1t idleness. It is during those
days when one does nothing that the
reality steals noiselessly into ones COM
prehension. to remain there forever.
But Is Cairo worth this? is asked.
That depends upon the temperament.
II one must have in his nature some
where a trace of the poet to love
Venice, SO one must be at heart some
thing OF painter to love Cairo Her
colors are SO softly rich, the Saracenic
part OF her architecture is so fantasia
cally beautiful, the figures in her streets
are so picturesque, that one who has an
eye for such effects seems to himself to
be living in a gallery of paintings with
out frames, which stretch off in Wis
tas, melting into each other as they
go. If, therefore, one loves color, if
pictures are precious to him,
are important, let him go to
Cairo; he will find pleasure awaiting
him. Fi0ubert said that one could
imagine the pyramids, and perhaps the
sphinx, without an actual sight of them,
but that what one could not in the
least imagine was the expression on
the face of an oriental barber as he
sits cross-legged before his door. That
is Cairo exactly. You must see her
with the actual eyes, and you must see
her without haste. She does not re-
veal herself to the Cook tourist, nor
even to Gaze's, nor to the man who is
hurrying off to Athens on fixed day
which nothing can alter.-Constance
Fenimore Woolson, in Harper's Maya.

not linger by her side as many hours as
he had been in the habit of doing, nor

Although her heart was breaking

And then she stopped and raised the
poor, half-withered little flower and
began to pull off the white arms which
had grown multitudinous throughout

she; two love, three -

Thrilling Story of How Four White Men
Saved Their Scalps in Arizona.

Thrilling Story of How Four White Men
Saved Their scalps in Arizona.
William Carter, who returned from
his mines liz Arizona recently, tells a
story of thrilling adventure which
would make good plot for blood
curdling novel. Carter. with three
companions, travelled through the In
dian country during the time of the re-
cent trouble, but they had heard moth
ing of the outbreak, and consequently
paid no attention to the signs of the
rowing bands of redskins which they
frequently saw. When near the
Arizona line they were surprised
by the hostile attitude of a small
band of Indians who came to their
camp. The men with Carter were old
frontiersmen, and did not pay much at
tention to the rough language of the
Indians, but told them to get away or
they would have trouble. The Indians
rode off and when a short distance
away fired at the camp. wounding one
OF the horses. The shots were returned
by the white men, who at once saw that
serious trouble was imminent, and
made preparations accordingly. While
they were preparing to defend their
camp from another attack, man came
up and gave the news that the Indians
were out and were liable to cause
trouble. The wounded horse left the
party almost stranded, but they deter
mined to get out of the neighborhood
if possible.
While they were considering the mat
ter they saw band of Indians ap-
preaching the camp, and Immediately
made signs for them to keep off. The
Indians began circling around the camp
and made such hostile demonstrations
that the men started to make a run to
ravine near by in order to be under
cover. The Indians dashed after them
and succeeded in killing the horse
which was not wounded. The Indians
burned the wagon and killed the
wounded horse, taking everything of
value from the wagon. They then be-
gan system of siege, and while they
would not come within rifle shot of the
ravine where the whites were shell
tered, they kept circling around in
such manner that escape was impossi-
BILE.
When night came it was determined
to try to get away and the men started
down the ravine, crawling on their
hands and knees. This was kept up
until they had gone at least five miles,
and then they started on walk toward
the southwest. They travelled until
morning, and were then almost ex-
hausted for want of food and water.
They could get neither, and stopped for
three hours to rest, when they again
kept up their journey. During the day
they saw an old steer which had evil
IDENTIFY been turned away from some
outfit to die, and they killed him On
this meat they lived for seventeen
days, until they came to the little Mex
lean town of Sebolia, where they OBJ
tanned food, after threatening to burn
the place unless they were assisted.
The Mexicans would not give them the
slightest assistance until they showed
that they were desperate enough to
take what they wanted. Chicago Post.

THE FIRST BELL OF AMERICA.

1t Was Swung in the Relfry in La Vega,
San Domingo, in 1894.
The bureau of American republics
furnishes the following about the first
bell rung in America, which is now in
Washington, and will be on exhibition
at the Worlds fair: When Column bus
laid the foundations OF Isabella, Santa
Domingo the first settlement by Eu-
ropeans Gf we except La Navite. a
merely temporary stockade with small
garrison) in the new world. the first
structure to receive serious attention
was the church. 1t was erected and
christened within few months after
the landing at Isabella in Decem Der,
1893. The reason for the location here
OF this city. such as the proximity of
the gold mines of Cibao to the coast at
this point, no longer answered when it
was found that the interior country was
richer.
In 1494 city was begun in the royal
place of La Vega, called La Vega Kort
City of the Plains-whither, doubt
less, was transported everything port
able in Isabella, which was soon aban-
doned to the solitude of the forest
which environed it. A church was
likewise built La Vega, and it is
thought that the same bell that hung
In the church of Isabella occupied a
similar position in the belfry tower at
La Vega. In the year 1912 La Vega
was destroyed by terrible earth
quake, and the city abandoned by such
OF the inhabitants as escaped. More
than three hundred years passed
away One day a man espied bell in
the branches of "fig" tree-a parasitic
tree that envelopes everything in its
reach, and which had wrapped it's trunk
around portion of the belfry tower of
the ruined church
This bell had been raised in the arms
OF the Zig" tree, and was thus pre-
served from falling to the ground and
being buried out of sight. The bell was
secured, and for a long time was pre-
served as a venerated relic-almost
worshipped by the superstitious natives
of Santo Domingo. 1t finally came into
the possession of Padre Bellini, a
patriotic priest of Santo Domingo city,
who hung it in the chapel of his con-
vent school. His heirs will loan it to
the Worlds fair.
This bell is of bronze, very small, but
of elegant workmanship eight inches
high by six and a half across), and bears
on the surface the imagine of San
Miguel, to whom it is dedicated, and the
letter "F'' in old Gothic. From this
Gothic "F'" it is inferred that it was a
gift to Columbus from Ferdinand of
Spain, husband of Queen Isabella.
When the historian and antiquarian
shall have passed their opinions upon
this relic. it may be predicted that few
objects pertaining to our early history
will surpass it in interest.-Atlanta

IRISH eARDs.

Predecessors of Tom Moore and Their
Exalted Positions.
Under the names of FLEA and Fear
Dana. bards were found in Ireland from
the earliest periods of its history to the
year 1888. when Carolan died, who
seemed to have been born to render the
termination of his order brilliant.
Every chief lord was called Allah
Radah, or Doctor of Poetry, and he re-
tanned thirty of the inferior note. They
were free from all taxation, and were
allowed to wear the same color robes as
the kings.
DR.. Ledwith, an ingenious critic and
antiquarian, has observed with respect
to the musical composition of the Irish
bards, THAT the Incompatible skill
allowed to the Irish music could never
be predicated of unlearned, extern
poraneous bardic airs, that it implies a
knowledge of the diagram and an exact
division of the harmonic intervals"
Giraldus Cambrensis in A. D. 1855
gives striking account of Irish music
of that period:
''The attention of this people to
musical instruments 1 find worthy of
commentator, in which skill is beyond
in comparison, superior to that of any
nation l have seen. For in these the
meditation is not slow and solemn, as
in the instruments of Britain, to which
we are accustomed, but the sounds are
precipitate, yet at the same time sweet
and pleasing"
Speaking of the Gaelic language, Miss
Carusi, the famous harpist, says the
constant occurrence of broad vowels in
it mades it quite as well adapted for
singing as Italian. Gaelic poetry is also
beautifully suited to singing, and has a
swing and rhythm about it most mu-
steal.
'"To keep their great heritage, the
Irish should learn their national songs
in Gaelic" she says Boston Globe.

standing among the sweet grasses of

kiss upon the white arms that were
folded over her heart of gold. 1t was
the beginning of life to her. She was
only an innocent child of the country.
So how could she know that the kisses
he gave her had been and would be
given in all their warmth to all the
bright faces that came across his path?
Poor, pretty little one! her delicate
form thrilled with new life when he
poured flood of passionate kisses upon
her bowed head, and she opened her
white arms to receive his warm
embrace, and gave her beautiful heart

idoiatrous love. And when she raised
her fair face, aglow with happiness,

met, aud she grew faIrer every day in

Fossil Remains of These Ancient Forms

1t is very interesting to look at the
pictures of the world in the long past
ages that geology presents to our imag-
nation. We see that there was time
when even the polar regions must have
bloomed with many of the splendid and
varied forms of life that now adorn the
tropics.
The fossil remains of these ancient
forms. preserved in the bosom of the
rocks, carry us back perhaps millions Of
years in the earth's history, and show
clearly what wonderful revolutions the
surface of the globe has undergone since
the first plants and the first animals ap-
peared upon it.

noceros nowadays on the prairies of
northwestern Canada. unless, per.
chance, a travelling menagerie should

most grievous grief of all to argue

mathematics is an absurdity, for every

squares and rectangles, as they have
observed in furnishing their homes. In
the midst of social discussions you are
unpleasantly forced to notice that they
are drawing on their own experience
for the facts and on their wives inn
