reporter some interesting information.
Capital has been subscribed to the cx-

sufficient to carry the line as far Ms

ordered In London, and will be Skinned
shortly. The poles are to be of iron of

away wooden poles. From Salisbury
the line is to be carried to Tete, ON the

There Consul johnson will report the
result Of his surveys as to the best
manner of proceeding on to Uganda,
and the constructing party will have to
come to terms with the natives and
Arabs by Substituting the chiefs and

TOLD BY THEIR FEET.
One, Means of Discovering the Beau.
~ Of Moorish Women.

There is something continually inter-
esting in the mu1tied figures of the
women. They make you almost
ashamed of the uncovered faces of the
American women in the town; and, in.
the lack of any evidence to the ron
traIy, you begin to believe every Moor
sh woman or girl you meet is as beau
..iful as her eyes would make it appear
that she is. writes Richard Harding
Davis in Harper's Weekly.
Those of the Moorish girls whose
faces ] saw We're distinctly handsome;
hey We're the women Benjamin Con-
slant paints iii his pictures of Algiers,
and about whom Pierre Lott goes into
,cstacies in his book on Tangier. Their
ODE or cloak, or whatever the thing il
hat they affect, covers the head like
a hood, snd with one hand they hold
one of its folds in front of the face as
nigh as their eyes. The only times that
I ever saw the face of any of them

4 fashion of coming undone, and they
would lower them for an instant and
,ook ut Isaac, and then replace them
severely upon the bridge of the nose.
Then Isaac would turn toward me with
a shy, conscious smile and blush vio-
lently. Isaac says that the Young luen
of Tangier can tell whether or not a
girl is pretty by, looking Mt her feet.
1t is true that their feet are bare. but
