There was a young girl married while ]
was in Cairo. The streets around the pal.
ace OF her father were hung with flags for
week. The garden about his house was
inclosed with tent, which was worth in
money $50, 600 and which was as beautiful
to the eye as the interior Of a mosque. For
a week the sheiks who rented the estates
Of the high contracting parties were fed at
their expense. For week men sang, and
bands played, and the whole neighborhood
feasted, and on the last night everybody
went to the wedding and drank coffee and
smoked cigarettes and listened to young
man singing Arabian love songs.
i naturally did not see the bride. The
women who did see her described her as
very beautiful, barely 10 years old and
covered with pearls and diamonds. She
was weeping bitterly. Her mother, 1t ap
peared, had arranged the match. did not
see her, but saw the bridegroom. He was
fat and stupid and over 90, and he had
white hair and white beard. A priest re
cited the Koran before him at the door Of
the house, and band played, and the peo
pie cheered the khedive three times, ano
then the crowd parted, and the bridegroom
was marched to the door which led to tn,
stairs, at the top of which the girl awaited
him. Two grinning eunuchs crouched OF
this dark staircase with lamps held higl
above their heads and closed the door be
hind him.
His 16-year-old bride has him to hersel
now-him and his eunuchs-until he or sh,
dies, We could show similitudes between
this wedding and some others in civilized
lands, but it is much too serious matter
to be cynical about.-Harper's Weekly.

General Spfnoia's Poker Hand.

General Spinola, like all great poker
players, used always to squeeze his hand So
that is, arrange them SO that only the indi-
Gators at the corners were visible. But one
day at Saratoga the general was cured of
the habit forever. A straight was dealt to
him pat. 1t consisted of the seven OF
hearts, and the four, five, six and eight OF
spades. When the call for cards was made,
two other players stood pat. The general,
realizing that his hand as it stood was well
nigh hopeless, threw away his seven of
hearts and drew one card. He mixed his
cards and glanced over the indicators At
the corner of the card he had drawn was a
figure seven and just below it spade. He
had exchanged simple straight for q
straight flush. The betting ran high. All
but the general and another player were
driven out. Finally the other called.
-Four trays" he said.
'1've got you beat" said the general.
spreading his hand out on the table
The other reached forward and looked
the generals hand over carefully. Hold
on" he exclaimed excitedly, that hand
doesn't win. A straight doesn't beat tours.
not by jugful."
The general took u look at the cards Us
they were spread out, and there, instead Of
the seven of spades, he found the seven oil
clubs, although the indicator told him II
was the seven Of spades. How the mistake
could have happened was never explained
Cards are printed on stone-a whole sheet
of them at a time. General Spinola al
ways carried this card around with him
and many remember to have seen him ex
hibit it after telling this story.-New York

OF the many applications of electricity to
the registration of temperature, one of the
most ingenious is that proposed for use in
hospitals, whereby the temperature of the
patient can be constantly brought to the
cognizance of the attendant or physician.
1t is well known that in certain diseases,
especially in rheumatic fever, the discovery
of sudden increase of temperature is Of
the utmost Importance. To record this il
is only necessary to fix a bulb under the
arm of the patient, and the sudden increase
in the body heat will be announced at once
by the ringing of bell.
II this application be further developed
It seems probable that every patient in the
ward will wear the apparatus fastened un
der the armpits, each bulb being connected
with the number indicated to the houst
surgeon room, 50 that the dresser or houst
physician will only have to lift up his eye
and read on the indicator that No. 3 or il
such and such ward has developed al
alarming degree of temperature. = New

The '.specter of the Broken" belongs to
class OF beautiful and deceptive atmos-
pheric phenomena known as .'mirages. -
The particular mirage referred to is to be
seen at only one known place on the earth
surface-on top of the Brocken, the highest
summit of the Harz mountains in Hun
gary. In the Hungarian language It is re-
ferred to as the "Brockengespenst' (mean-
ing "Brocken ghost, or ghost Of the
Brocken'') and those who have been for
tunate enough to get good view Of It de
clare that the apparition Is very specter-
like indeed.
There Is an observatory near the point
where the 'specter" is to be seen to the
best advantage, and you no sooner step out
upon the little platform to the south of the
tower than your shadow, grim and gigan-
tic, IL projected out against the eastern sky,
where with unlimited space for a play
ground 1t fits swiftly from place to place
accurately following your every motion.
1t Is only in the evening Just before sun
set that the phenomenon may be seen at
all. This being the case. the shadow is
doubly exaggerated-first, by the distance
and level of the sun, and, secondly, by the
remoteness Of the background upon which
the shadow is projected.
The explanation of this extraordinary at
mospheric curiosity is very simple. To the
east Of the Harz mountains there is al
ways a very dense and haxy atmosphere
so dense, in fact, that 1t presents q surface
capable of receiving the impression of an
object and rejecting its shadow Just as a
wall does. When, therefore, the sun gets
around to the west, the shadows of all OBJ
jects which are near enough to the wall OF
atmospheric particles are projected upon it.

hardly reached there before a kingfshei
came down from under the bridge, seized
my minnow and started down the river.
When he got the line Strengthened out, he
let the minnow drop, and supposed he
went on down the river so started once
more to catch the pickerel, but had hardly
got my line in shape again when down
came Mr.. Kingfisher and took the minnow
again.
This time, however, he went back under
the bridge, and after a moment or two lei
the minnow fall back in the river, and
then went after the pickerel again, and fol
the third time down came Mr.. Kingfisher
but he got the hook along with the min
now, and / had him fast. He flew right
straight up in the air. and let him hav,

Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the ocean bed deepens very gradually
in fact, for the first $50 miles the gradient
is but six feet to the mile. In the next 20
miles, however, the fall is over 5000 feet.
and so precipitous is the sudden descent
that in many places depths of 200 to / 600
fathoms are encountered in very close prox-
unity to the 100 fathom line. With the
depth of 800 to 1900 fathoms, the sea bed
in this part of the Atlantic becomes a
slightly undulating plain, whose gradients
are so light that they show but little alter.
alton Of depth for LOO miles. The extraor-
binary hatness of these submarine prairies
renders the familiar smile of the basin
rather inappropriate.
The hollow of the Atlantic is not strictly
a basin whose depth increases regularly
toward the enter. 1t is rather n saucer on
dishlike one, SO even is the contour of its
bed. The greatest depth in the Atlantic
has been found some 100 miles to the north
ward of the island of st. Thomas, where
souudings of 3,s15 fathoms were obtained
The seas round Great Britain can hardly
be regarded as forming part of the Atlantic
hollow. They are rather a part of the plat
form banks Of the European continent
which the ocean has OVERLOOKED. -Nautica
