One Means of Discovering: the..Reau-
ty of Moorish Women.
There is something continuallyyinter-
estng in the mutf1ed! 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 CON-
trary, you begin to believe every Moor.
ish woman or girl you meet is as beau,
tiful as her eyes would make it. appear
that she is. writes Richards Harding
Davis in Harper's Weekly.

faces l saw were distinctly handsome;

Then Isaac would turn toward me with

A Rude Awakening.

He was a dreamy romantic young
fellow from Tacoma, and he was doing
the fair thoroughly, entering into the
spirit of the thing, SO to speak, with all
his ability. When the purple shades Of
twilight were falling he stepped gayly
into a picturesque gondola, adorned
and propelled by real, live gondolier
attired in blue and white, with every
detail of the Venetian costume COM
plete. Our Westerner reveled in the
charm of the hour and the surround
ings. He threw himself into the spir-
it Of ancient Venice and fancied he saw
the bride Of the Adriatic lying ghost
like upon the sunlit-tinted waters.
With a woman's artifce he tried to
tempt the gondolier into song. 1t was
in vain, however, for the solitary boat
man at the stern was evidently think
ing Of his beloved Venice. The young
man from Tacoma at last sought terra
firma and as he scared, rather than
walked away, he heard with horror
the mystical gondolier distinctly re-
mark to his fellow in the bow:

From the Cape to Cairo,

The business partner Of one Of the
directors of the company formed to
build the telegraph line from the Cape
to Cairo has given Pail Mall Gazette
reporter some interesting information.
Capital has been subscribed to the ex-
tent of 100000, which is considered
sufficient to carry the line as far as
Uganda. The materials are now being
ordered in London, and will be shipped
shortly. The poles are to be of iron Of
light construction, in order to outma-
neuver the white ants, who would eat
away wooden poles. From Salisbury
the line is to be carried to Tete, on the
Zambesi, and from thence to Blantyre.
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
others of influence. There will be moth
ing in the way of impenetrable under
groWths or rank vegetation to contend
with, as the line will avoid the low
country and keep to the high plateau
the entire distance.

when you said, in one of your letters a

elsewhere. because they sold more
goods in their two stores than any other
firm in New York, and that because
they sold more they bought more, and
consequently bought cheaper, I deter

He had just received a letter from
his son at college and was reading it
aloud to his family, when he came to
this passage:
I am taking lessons in fencing and

"Wa'al, now, that do beat ALL said
the old man, what on airth does any
body need to take lessons in fencing
for, I'd like to know? I've been fenc-
ing for forty years and never had to
go to college to learn how" -......
