THE sAls oF CAIRO.


Peculiar Fashion INDUCED by the
Rich and Fashionable.
The sails is a runner who keeps in
front of a carriage and warns com
mon people out of the way. and who
beats them with stick If they do
not hurry up about it. He is relic
of the days when the traffic in all of
the streets We're so congested that he
was an absolute necessity; now no
makes it possible for IA carriage to
move forward at trot, which with
out his aid it could not do. 1t is
obvious that to do this he must run
swiftly. Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward and keep
ther mouths closed in order to save
their wind. The sails runs with his
shoulders thrown back and trumpet
ing like an enraged elephant, says
writer in Harper's Weekly. He
holds his long wand at his side like
Il masket, and not trailing in his
hand like walking-stick, and he
wears a soft shirt of white stuff, and
a sleeveless coat buried in gold lace
His breaches are white, and as
voluminorsy .ae1se-ayoman's sltirtn; thoy
fall to few inches above his knee,
the rest of his brown leg is bare and
rigid with muscle. On his head he
has fez, with a long black tassel,
and magnificent silk scarf of many
colors is bound tightly around his
waist.
He is perfect ideal OF color and
movement, and as he runs he bellows
like a bull, or roars as you have
heard a lion roar at feeding time in
menagerie. 1t is not human cry at
all, and you never hear it, even to
the last day of your stay in Cairo,
without start, as though it was g
cry of "help" at night, or the quick
changing bell of tlre engine. There
is nothing else in Cairo which is SO
satisfying. There are sometimes two
of them running abreast, dressed
exactly alike, and with the upper
part of their bodies as rigid as the
wands pressed against their side, and
with the ends OF their scarf and the
tassel streaming out behind.
AS they yell and below, donkeys
and carriages and people scramble
out of their way until the carriage
they preoede has rolled rapidly by.
Only princesses of tho royal harem
and consul-generals and the heads of
the army of occupation and the
Egyptian army are allowed two sails;
other people may have one. They
appeal to me as much more auto
cratic appendages than a troop OF
lifeguards The rastequaire who frs
introduces them in Paris will make
his name known in a day, and a lord
mayors show or box seat on four
in-hand will be modest and middle
class distinction in comparison.

NY LOVE OF LoNo 400.

mot woman wan and old.
Bent meath the weight OF grief and yeBrs;
Her hair was robbed OF all It's gold
Her eyes were dlmmed by oft-shed tears;
Her han DIS were roughened, hard and brown
Those lands that once were white Us snow.

lovod her, loved her long ago
Tho faded and tho withcrcd flower,
Sure hath not beauty for its part,
Yet who cau say 10 lacks the power

Twas thus that on that summer day
stopped to press and kiss her So
All, her the woman old and cray,
Ny rose, my love OF long 80.

the admiring eyes of those who werQ

of the skirt were composed OF blaois
silk grenadine wrought with zigzaR
line of gold thread This was worn
over pettieoat OF bluish-pink silk,

Growth of the German Democracy.

In the middle of the confusion and
wrangling of other parties the Social
Democrats are full of activity and of
hope. They have many reasons for their
confidence. For some years pass fhe EN-
peror, the political ,iaflties. the church,
wen Prince Bismarck, have cOquetted
| with them more or less, have acknowl-
edged that their aims are often excellent
and have promised with here and there
a qualifying ''but" or if to carry them
out as far as is humanity possible. They
are therefore justified in the hope that
voters whose minds have been trained to
hear them with attention by this general
chorus of approval will be the more dis
posed to listen to promises which are not
qualified by Ifs" and "buts."
Then the Social Democrats are well
organized and know both what they
want and how they propose to obtain it.
These are great advantages to a political
party in all countries, but are more par
ticularly so among the Germans, whose
natural instinct it is to obey orders and to
march in file, even when they are in re-
volt. It is therefore quite possible that
the Social Democrats may double their
numbers at the next election, and it will
not be surprising if that estimate is sur
passed.-London Saturday Review.

Belgian sundayIaw.

The Belgian postoffice is about to issue
what is called special Sunday stamp.
It will be 10-centime (2-cent) stamp
and at one end will have a little flap.
This can be torn off or left intact at the
users will and will carry in French and
Dutch these words: me pas ivres lie
dimanche," ''Nict bestellen OPP zontag,"
which means in English, ''The postman
is not to deliver on Sunday the letter
bearing this stamp"
This novelty is intended to start a
popular agitation against Sunday gov
eminent work in Belgium, which is to
be stopped if possible in the future.
1t is said that n large number of people
will post letters unnecessarily on Sun
day mornings in order to give expression
to their sentiments.
1t will be interesting to hear how
many of these stamps are used.-Cour-
rier des Etats-Unis.
