When a correspondent recently visited
Turkish princess at Cairo she found a
bright little woman with fair skin and
natural reddish hair, made more so by
the use of henna, Her blue eyes looked
out from dark eyebrows and lashes-also
dyed with some eastern dye; then her
eyes were kohled. but done in such per-
lection that it was difficult to discover
where nature stopped and art began
Her hair was very long and thick; she
wore it in two long plaits down her back.

monds and sapphires of great value At
intervals through these tresses glimmer-

embroidered cap to match her dress

The shintyans, or trousers, were of
delicate mauve silk brocade. with long
train in the back, which looped up so as
hide the form of the trousers: the chemi-
set was of gauze of the same color, en-

throat, showing lovely white. well
shaped neck. A white underbodice con

compressed by stays.
In our society her dress would not be
considered modest, but with them they
only consider showing their faces to men
immodest. They have no sense of shame
about exposing their persons. Over this
she wore small jacket of violet velvet,
trimmed with silver ball fringe-around
her waist was a girdle of precious stones,
like a stomacher. Her tiny feet were
slipped into shoes of the same shade as

Nervous COLLAPSE In Parliament.

Instances of nervous collapse in the house
of commons have been by no means scarce.
The late Lord Sherbrooke-then MIR. Rob
ert Lowe-completely broke down i'll the
course of a speech in the debate upon the
royal titles bill. Happening to confuse his
notes, he became bewildered and sat down
in the very middle of his speech. Ii re
member correctly, he never addressed the
house again after this collapse. The cele
brated Lord Strangford-when Mr.. Smythe
on one occasion stumbled over the pro
nunciation of an intricate word, and losing
his nerve was competed to sit down.
Sir George Gray, who was home secretary
under Lord Palmerston, was a positive
martyr to nervousness, and he never adj
dressed the house, even upon the most I'M
important occasions, without betraying
evident signs of this affection. Another in
stance is that of Mr., John Stuart Mill, who

The final question Of all mature pessi-
mism-Is life worth livinSs-is in itself the
proof of diseased mind. The healthy
mind never asks it. Indeed we have not
penetrated very deeply into the spirit OF
pessimism if we have not discovered that,
in its intense form. it is invariably accom-
panied by i'll health, or bodily weakness, or
abnormal sensitiveuess to physical in
fiuenees. OF Leopard we read in the pages
of his latest biographer, that "he was wont
to turn night into day and day into night.
He breakfasted between 3 and o'clock in
the afternoon and dined about midnight.
The mere names of wind, cold and snow
were enough to pale him. He could not
bear fire and formerly used to pass the
winters three parts submerged in n sack of
feathers, reading and writing thus the
greater part of the day"
OF such unhealthy habits and of the con-
slant physical misery which ensued, partly
from them and partly from ether causes,
the dialogues" are in no sense sur
prising result. And Leopard is only one
among the great and decrepit army of pes
simists. -Contemporary Review.

Caution In Teaching a Child to walk.

The culture OF chiId's physique can
hardly begin at toe early an age. From the
time when the baby begins &c stretch his
little limbs and to show desire for activ-
ity the mother should begin TO plan for
movements that will develop the growing
limbs and strengthen the pulpy muscles
Such exercises must at first be of the most
elemental character. \ great deal of it
may be bestowed by the mother herself,
who by rubbing the child's body and fex-
ing the arms and legs does her part to aid
nature in fitting him for his work in life.
As the little one grows older this care must
not be relaxed, but it must be accom- panied
with due caution.--Christine Terhune Her

The Moorish Cure For rheumatism.

In Fez there are fire DOCTORS who sit in
the more frequented streets waiting for
rheumatic patients. Each doctor has little
furnace, pair of bellows and a number of
euriously shaped iron rods before him.
When not operating, he solemnly and in.
cessantly reads book of one sentence:
There is no God but God. and Moham-
med is his prophet"
When patient appears, the doctor lays
down his book, blows up his fire with his
bellows and sticks into the Goals several of
the rods, which are about two feet long and
have queer knobs and hooks on their heated
ends. While waiting for these to get hot
he constantly repeats his one sentence.
When all is ready, the patient pays his
fee, lies down on his face and draws his
clothing up on his back. In the name of
Cod says the fire doctor, and passes red
hot rod with great deliberation over va
rious parts of the back. 1t makes ''siz-
cling" noise, and smell of burned flesh
fills the air. Meantime crowd of men
have collected to witness the operation.
They necessarily pass their fingers through
their boards and praise God and Moham-
