The ordinary inhabitant OF the
town passes his life in simple and
uniform manner. Before sunrise he
leaves his couch, performs the morn
ing ablutions enjoined by his religion,
and repeats his early PRAYER.
To say his first morning prayer
after sunrise is forbidden by the ordi-
nances of his religion, and to allow
the sun to rise over ones slumbering
head is regarded as prejudicial to
health.
He then drinks his cup Of coffee
and smokes his pipe, either at home
or in the public coffee-house. His
breakfast, which he takes after the
coffee, or sometimes before it, con-
sists of the remains of the meal OF
the night before, or Of cakes and
milk, or for trifie he procures from
the market the ever-ready national
dish of stewed beans.
He then begins his avocation, buys,
sells, writes, works, or moves about.
all in the most comfortable, quiet,
and deliberate manner. what is
not done to-day must be done to-
morrow, if God pleases," stands
written on his forehead in large
letters.
The Egyptian mechanic cannot be
said to he famous for anything. The
things in which they used to excel
are rapidly being forgotten. The
fine masonry of the older mosques
would he thrown away on the archi-
tectural tastes of the present day,
and hence the race Of skillful masons
is becoming extinct.
The colored glass which used to be
made in great perfection for windows
and lamps is the product of a for
gotten art, and most Of the glass and
china used in Egypt are imported
from Europe
The same fate has come to the
turner's, who used to make the Deauti-
full lattice window-screens; people
now prefer glass, and latticcs being
no longer required, turner's are for
getting how to make them.
The pottcrs do a good trade in un-
glazed porous vessels for cooling
water, and the palm furnishes Occu-
patton To many hands.
Egypt is no longer famous for fine
linen; its cotton and woolen stuffs are
coarse and its silk IF poor quality.
The tanners, however, have not
forgotten their cunning in curing

ment, extending beyonG Slippers sup

We found him pleasant and courteous,

him we'll to have variable and exceed
ipsly nervous temperament, a character
istic which often accompanies the gift OF
genius. It was also whispered that he
entertains an almost morbid aversion to
personal notoriety. Be that as it may,

Governors Island, in the Bay of New

A more fitting spot could not be chosen,

In another part of the building we
found second group of men gathered
about the figure OF Genius, which will
be placed on the front of the pedestal.
1t is little over seventeen feet high and
is represented as a winged angel bending
over the globe, which it is intently
studying while held beneath the open
hand.
On the sides of the base, between the
massive posts which form the corners
will be found the inscriptions, aud,
though they may not read the same,
their import will be very similar to the
old couplet which we used to sing in the
school days of long ago, saying that
In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
On the front and back of the base the
corresponding spaces will be filled with
two magnificent allegorical pictures in
base.reliet representing the departure
from Spain and the landing IN America
by Columbus. The latter one is particu-
larly impressive, and the story is mos1
graphically told by the strongly drawn
group, of which he is the principal figure,
standing in an attitude of prayer up.

tBtiux Tn ir Ueud,

The Tartars of old are said to have
made a practice of eating their dead,
strangling the aged for this purpose
when they we're thought to have sur
vived the period of their usefulness
otherwise. 1t has been affirmed that the
ancient Irish and Britons devoured the
defunct, esteeming this mode of dis
posing more honorable than any other.
Up to the present day the same custom
is known to be followed by many tribes
in Africa, particularly by the Fans, who
number millions, but this plan is adopted
only with common people. kings and
chiefs being buried with mu h cere-
mony.-Chicago Times.

The Russian blouse in colors that will
rival the gorgeous peony and outshine the
dazzling poppy, will be great favorite with
the young folks at summer resorts, and it
will behoove them to keep clear Of country
barnyarls; least they excite the ire of the
pompous turkey cock. In the illustration !

blouse, and to look at her it would take very
little imagination to conclude that she
had come over the fence rather than away
around through the gate. This blouse is OF
surah, and has no seam at the back.
The velvet ribbons stimulate Swiss

back, the ends crossing. The lace collarette

luxe OF Europe, 1t has just Deen my
privilege to see this work as it is being
developed in the studio of AndreonI
here in Rome, writes correspondent OF
the New York Advertiser.
The shops into which we were shown
by courteous attendant were busy and
extremely interesting places, where work
could be seen in every stage of progr css:
from the rough block of marble to the
finished statue. Above all else lowered
the colossal figure of Columbus, twenty
feet high, surrounded by q large plat
form, where the men, with hammer and
chisel, We're busily at work. A small
window in the roof overhead admitted
the daylight, and powerful lamp hung
from the rafters, ready for use when
necessary as did curtain or screen OF
rough burlaps, which Inadvertently fell
in artistic lines, as if it, too, was in &C.
cord with the spirit of the place.
The bold navigator wears the dress of
the period, the richly embroidered dou-
blet or waistcoat thrown back, revealing
a kilt that falls in easy folds from
bodice drawn tightly over the broad
chest beneath. Not only the attitude
OF the figure, but the expression of the
face, is commanding, and as you look
upon the clearly cut features you seem
to feel instinctly the presence of the
mau of genius and power, which the ar
fist has forcibly portrayed.
Close at hand stood the plaster cast
which was used as working model for
the reproduction, covered with the regu-
lar, tiny marks necessary in making
measurements. The copying from the
model, whether the reproduction shall
be of corresponding size or is to be en-
larged or reduced, is all done by exact
mathematical calculations.
As we followed our guide about the
shops we soon discovered that the real
manual labor was chiefly given over to
the skilled workman. These employees
not unfrequently spend lfetime in one
studio, and become by their faithfulness
and dexterity almost indispensable to
the artist, for his part of the work is
practically done when the clay model IS
finished.
All the finer grades of work and the
larger pieces of statuary must CT neces-
sity be made from the Carrara marble,
as the softer and mere easily worked
qualities are found in very thin strata
but few feet thick and suitable only
for small pieces which may be quickly
and cheaply done.
