Among tho Roses.

Bags full of roses, baskets heavy with roses, carts laden with rosess roses, roses, feast of roses, a surieit of roses. if that is possible. The women stick roses in their long. braided hair, the men in their belts, the children pull them and play with them and leave them on the road to die.
 There is roseleaf jam to eat-yery fresh and sweet it is-and there is rose leaf sirup to drink. Every vase and yes sel is full of roses; they drop on you from unexpected places; great punches of bright pink heads lying on the ground admonish you as you walk; you can make a bed of them if you will; go to the granary-rosary, suppose it should be called--and there you will find as soft and sweet a couch as was ever laid in the Arabian Nights" for eastern princes to dream upon.
 This is how it came about that l saw such Q multiplicity of roses. We full filled a long cherished scheme and went to Kezanlik, the Valley of Roses, in the Balkans, once the famouse rose garden of Turkey. -Blackwoods Magazine.

The Iho. on the Nicer.

Ivory enklets, often very heavy, arc only worn by the Ibo women of wealth and importance, but the metal anklets worn by others may be many pounds in weight, and some of them wear huge brass plates, perhaps foot in diameter, which, once fixed to the ankles, are never removed. The men wear single strip of cotton cloth, but those who come much in contact with the Europeans are now learning to wear trousers. Their weapons are flintlocks, bows and spears the latter both for hurling and thrust ing
 The huts are built of mud and mat ting and are quadrangular in shape The center is an open courtyard, at one end of which is the apartment of the head of the house, while the wives and family are accommodated in other rooms on the right and left of the courtyard There is no furniture or ornament, and but a few household utensils and weapons.-- All the Year Round.

The Revival of Cities.

The revival of such cities as Athens and Damascus can be explained by the unrivaled advantage of their location. an advantage which has also more than once proved the salvation of Constanti- nople. The fire service of the Turkish capital is century behind the average of the times, and in the southern suburbs there are miles of streets lined with nothing but wooden houses, but the aris- tocratic quarters in their present condi. ton are really almost fireproof The palaces of the Turkish grandees are built almost exclusively of stone, the very floors consisting of mosaic of varie- gated marble, while an abundance of water is supplied by indoor baths and fountains, but in addition to all that they are surrounded by acres of ever green shrubs, which in their turn are in closed by massive stone walls
 A single establishment of that sort and their number runs mp in the hun dred--could stand unscathed in the midst of flaming streets. and old Stan boul may in the same way survive a bombardment of the predicted Russian invasion, It's site at all events would insure its resurrection.

persnnded to Mnrl,.

While in Cajamarca in the Cordillsr ] was sitting with my hosts one eYen- inG at the door of their house. Sud- denly there was great noise in the quiet street, and Q horseman rode up. It was friend of the family, who was on his way to settle an account with troublesome debtor. When we hinted that a creditor would hardly be ordina- rily received at such an hour. he touched something hangingOn the pommel of his saddle. and said that he had something there which would settle the matter.
 His debtor was an Indian who lived not far away In the country. and who had promised to make for him 800 or 400 large adobe bricks in payment for some small wares which he had purchased two years before. He seemed perfectly willing to fulfill his contract, and when ever he was reminded of it would prom ise to bo on hand tho next day: but he never appeared.
 The merchant was repairing his house, and according to the custom of the coun- try had taken tho law into his own hands. An hour after he lett us he re- turned, calling out triumphantly, "Well, have my man, you sec"
 His lasso was unrolled. One end was tied to his saddle; the other was fastened about the wrists of an Indian. l shall never forget the captive's impassive face. His strong features, framed in long locks of hair, expressed neither anger nor as- tonishment-only philosophical submis- sion to fate. The next day at dawn saw him cheerfully at work with the air of a man who was glad to pay his debts.
 Cautiously enough, when some time later another man wished to engage his services he declined the offer He liked his employer and his work and had no desire to better his condition. Marcel Monnier

AN EASTERN BEAUTY.

Then. on a sudden, came maid With tambourine to dance for us- Allah il' allahl it was she, The slave girl from the I,osporus That Yussuf purchased recently. Long narrow eyes, as black as blaekl And melting, like the stars fin June; Presses of night drawn smoothly bark From eyebrows like the crescent moon She paused an instant with bowed head. Then. at u motion nf her wrist A veil Of gossamer outspreHd
 And wrapt her in a silver misi. Her tunic was uf Tiilis green
 Shot through with many starry speck The zone that clasped is might have been X collar for a cyRnets neck. None Of the twenty charms she lacked Demanded for perfectlons grace; Charm upon charm in her was packed Like rose leaves in costly vase. Full in the lanterns colored light
 She seemed thing of paradise. l knew not if l saw aright,
 Or if my vision told me lies. Those lanterns spread n cheating glare, Such stains they threw from bough 10 vine As 1T the slave boys here and there

Enthusiastic wromlng Women.

The enthusiasm shown in registering by women of Wyoming in qualification for the presidential election was a com. plete refutation of the hackneyed charge that the sex" do not appreciate nor gen orally care for the privilege of suffrage. Not only were the wives of prominent citizens registered-they went further by instructing their help in things politi cal and insuring their registering as well Whenever it has been made worth while to them the women have seldom. if ever failed to show how real is their interest in the nse of the ballot. ot.-Portland (Me.)

Gold pigrers at tho Fair.

A plan is on foot to bring the army of California gold diggers of 1Sl9 together at the Worlds fair in June. The Argo- nauts now living in California who have never returned east are determined, ac- cording to report, to make the journey, taking in the fair on their way. It seems that the pioneers who beat retreat with out funds from the land of gold and re- stunned the pros,lic occupations which they had abandoned in the states east of the Mississippi far outnumber their Cal ifornia associates. Indeed it is stated by pioneer who is making arrange ments for the reunion that the surviving forty-niners number several thousands. His idea is that there would be scenes of wild enthusiasm among the survivors from all over the country if they could meet at the California building next June, register their names and tell over again to sympathetic ears their battles with hardship and expectations unreal ed.--Chicago Herald.

When l used to travel about the country lecturing," said a retired tenn perance talker, 'I carried with me as 8 frightful example man with a brilliant red nose, and during my remarks I would call upon him for testimony. On one occasion we struck small town where we had an audience of about a hundred people, Twas making fine headway with my lecture, and at the proper time glanced over the crowd and said, "Will the gentleman with the red nose please rise to his feet?'

All Men self aIade.

The world has had few leaders who wsFo born in the purple. Its real kings have not boeR the sons of kings. Its Mpole0Rs have not descended from monsrchs. The founders of its philo- sopBies have not been the children of philosophers, nor of its dynasties the heirs of emperors. The framers of the creods, the inventors 3f the faiths and religions of the race have come from the manager, the forge and the carpen- ter's bench, and not from the church. The great captains have not sprung from warriors, and those who have con- posed the dramas, written the lyrics and pronounced the oratons that are immortal have inherited neither their passion nor their eloquence. A pedi- gree may be gratifying to pride, but it is not consoling to ambition.
 Those who greatly succeed are not always those of whom success could be predicted It is sometimes said in ex- Planation of the eaprices of destiny that circumstances make heroes, and that chance favors the ylctor. But the reverse is true. Men mako circum- stances. One seizes the opportunity That is offered to all In the domain of law there can be no accidents. Every man goes to his own place. Village Hampdens and mute, inglorious Miltons are myths. There are no great men lying in ambush or lurking priyily.
 Tho epitah and eulogy abound in laudation of self-made men. There's are DO others. All men who are made at all are self-made. Books and schools cannot make men. Colleges, universi- ties and professors afford men the op- portunity to make themselves. Learn ing can make a pedagogue, knowledge can make a pedant but no one does the utmost of which he is capable ex- cept under the spur and thong of ne- cessity. Poverty may bO inconvenient and intolerabls, but he who is born poor is fortunate. The leaders of thought, business, and society in the coming generation will not be the gild- cd youth of 1893, faring sumptuously ryery day. The bankers, railroad pres idents, statesmen and plutocrats of the twentieth century will be the soBs of the farmers aAd laborers who are striv- ing against formidable obstacles and priyations to enter ill at the straight gate.
 To discriminate among the living would be ungracious, but if we inquire who among the illustrious sons of the republic havO most tineffacoably stamped their mark upon our institutions and shaped the destinies of the nation, the answer would include few who were favored by birth or fortune. Washing ton seems liko an exception, but his nativity was humble, his youth was spent in toil and his groat wealth, which made him the richest man in the country, came largely by inheritance.
 Lincoln and Jackson, among the Presidents, Clay, Webster and Doug lass, among the statesmen of our first century GraRt, Greeley, Wilson, Gov ernor Morton, Sheridan, Governor Andrews, Lloyd Garrison, Stevens, and the men who directed the energies of the country in that momentous period of 1860 to 1880, were all of humble origin, with no heritage butan honest name.--John J. Ingalls,, in ihe Boston Herald.

It is a white and dreary plain. There is a line of struggling gum trees beside a feeble water course.
 Six wild -brombies, as they are called--haye been driven down, corralled and caught. They have fed on the leaves of the myall and stray bits of salt bush. After q time they are got within the traces.
 They are all young and they look not so bad We start. They can scarcely be held in for the first few miles, Then they begin to soak in precipitation. An other five miles and they look drawn about the Hanks, and what we thought was flesh is dripping from them.
 Another five, and the flesh has gone, The ribs show, the shoulders protrude. Lookl A polers heels are knocking against the whillletree. It is twenty miles now. There is a gulp in your throat as you see wreck stagger out of the traces and stumble over the plain, head near the ground and death upon it's back. There is no water in that direc- tion, worn out creature.
 It comes upon you like a sudden blow. These horses are being driven to death. And why? Because it is cheaper to kill them on this stage of thirty miles than to feed them with chaff at $250 ton.

Not the Weaker Sex.

To refer to women as the weaker sex, German scientist says, is surely nis- take, for they have always known how to preserve their dominion over the so called stronger sex. Men are indeed wo. mems most obedient slaves. Solomon said his wives were bitterer than death, and surely there never was q greater slave to woman. Statistics show that seven wives survive every ten famous men. Heloise survived the loss of her beloved Abelard twenty-two years, and similarly the wife of Washington, though she de. clared she could never get over the death of her husband. outlived him thirty Years.-san Franciseo Argonart
