The characters of the ssThousand
and One Nights may be almost inn
agined to step out of their setting of
words, and take form and glow with
the generous warmth of life before
ones very eyes, says writer in the
Gentleman's Magazine. The natives
still drink the same coffee, and out of
the same cups; they smoke the same
pipes, they wear generally the same
dress, they play the same primitive in
struments that whisper the same
strange and plaintive tones. The fu-
neral professions wend their way along
the streets as of old; the popular fes-
tivals or moolids are still observed with
the same untiring capacity for enjoy
ment; the public reciters still prac-
tice their professions before admiring
crowds; the water carriers still carry
their burdens, SO welcome to thirsty
lips; except in the houses of the rich
and thoroughly Europeanized, food is
still eaten with the fingers, and in the
same manner, and the hands are washed
with the same basins and ewers; the
mosque of Ell Azhar still attracts its
crowd of students. Even the old wood
en- locks and keys are still in use, and
the water jars are still kept cool in the
lattice work of the overhanging mush-
rabiyeh window frames. Instances of
this sort might be multiplied a hum
dred fold. 1t is, indeed, wonderful
change and contrast that is presented
to the eye when you leave the Euro
pean and enter the native quarter.
And the mind and feelings turn in uni
son, and become attuned to the changed
scene. The sense of taking part in
new and different life steals over YOU
and you temporarily throw off your
affinity with the west and the nine

TRAVEL ON FRIDAY.

How Popular Superstition Affects Rail-
road and Steamship BUSINESS.
Much ridicule has been poured upon
Thirteen clubs, Friday clubs and other
associations formed. for the laudable
purpose of dealing in a practical and
pleasant way with some current super
stitions. Gen. Wolseley, says the Phil
adelphia Record, who in recent pre-
tentious military criticism included
Dessaix, the hero of NLrengo, among
the generals who accompanied Ma
poleon to Russia, has written a flip
pant letter to Thirteen club in Lon
don to say that he loves to cherish the
pretty superstitions of his childhood.
Against this false sentiment it must be
said that some of the current popular
beliefs are posi- lively mischievous in
many respects.
Not transatlantic steamship com
pany has Friday among the days of de-
parture, and until quite recently none
of the coastwise steamship lines had
put the unluc1y day on its list. 1t
would be highly desirable for the
ocean mail service that some steam
ships should leave Atlantic ports on
Friday; but while the owners are
doubtless exempt from any superstition
on the subject they are obliged to de-

Hin VIII Attempt to Repeal the Income

Hin Will Attempt to Repeal the Income
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-There was but
a scattering of senators present today
when the vice. president called the SEN
ate to order at 1915. The reading of
the journal was concluded. A mes
senger from the house informed the SEN
ate that the house had passed a bill
placing coal, iron ore, barbed wire and
sugar on the free list, on which it asked
the concurrence of the senate.
Manderson objected to the second
reading of the free list bills. Hill gave
notice to an amendment repeating all
income taxes. The bills will come up
tomorrow.
Hale introduced resolution for print
ing $4,000 copies OF house bill No. 1854,
known as the t'sugar tariff BILL" Vest
protested against this title. Hale re-
piled that he simply referred to it by the
name by which it would be known here
after. Vest questioned Hale's right to
say what would be the popular deslgna-
tion of the bill, and declared it an out
rage upon the senate. The resolution
went over. Bills were passed promot-
ing Commodore Louis G. Sartori, retired,
to rear-admiral on the retired list, and
authorizing the Soldiers Home mana
gers to extend outdoor relief to veterans.
At 2 80 the senate adjourned.

IN A HURRICANE.
Story of a Queer Thing That Happened
In the East.


A story comes by mail from the far
east and tells one more of the wonder
full things which happen to those who
have their homes on the great waters.
The story concerns the big four
masted iron ship Lucipara. She halls
from Glasgow, and recently made a
voyage from Sharpness to Sydney, n.
S. w. While sailing along between
the Cape of Good Hope and Australia,
the ship ran into hurricane, or was
ovs rtalzen by one, about midnight.
Suddenly the sea, which had been dan
gerously high, became calm, and to
those on the ship it seemed us if the
surface of the ocean had been sub
jected to an enormous pressure, by
which the waves were stilled. Without
warning the men were almost blinded
by sheet of flame, which enveloped
the ship from stem to stern, and
reached half fway up the masts.
This.wave of flame surged back and
forth, fore and aft, for few seconds,
and wasthen snuffed out as suddenly
as it had appeared, leaving capSain
and crew CROPPING about in intense
darkness! The binding glare was ex-
tremely painful to the eyes, but caused
no damage either to the men or to the
ship. Capt. Witt said it was his first
experience of the kind, and he hoped
it would be the last.

Government Cats.

Some three hundred and odd cats are
maintained by the United States gov
eminent, the cost of their support being
carried as a regular Item on the ac-
counts of the post Office department.
These cats are distributed among
about fifty post offices and their duty
is to keep rats and mice from eating
and destroying postal matter and can
vas sacks. Their work is Of the utmost
importance wherever large quantities
OF mail are collected, as, for example,
at the New York post office, where
from 1000 to 5000 bags Of mail matter
are commonly stored away in the base
ment. Formerly great damage was
done by the mischievous rodents,
which chewed holes in the sacks and
thought nothing Of boring clear through
bags of letters in night. Troubles Of
this sort no longer occur since the Off,
cial pussies keep watch. Each of the
postmasters in the larger cities is al
lowed from IS to $40 a year for the
keep Of his feline staff, sending his esti-
mate for 'cat meat to Washington at
the beginning of each quarter.

Maternal Devotion.

In the western part of Massachusetts,
says the Churchman, a fire recently de-
stroyed fine barn on a stock farm,
and a number Of blooded horses and
cows persisted in the flames.
Soon after the fire the owner, walking
over the ruins, came upon an object
which touched him more than the sight
of the charred bodies Of his horses and
Jerseys.
There sat an old black hen. He won
dered that she did not move her head to
look at him as he came near her, but
he thought she must be asleep. He
poked her with his cane, and to his sur
prise the wing which he touched fell
into ashes. Then he knew that she
had been burned to death.
But out from under her came faint
little peep, and pushing her aside with
his cane, the man found ten live yellow
chickens. The hen had sacrificed her
own life to save them.

MOLECULARLiFE IN Diamonds.

Gems Declared to be aIasAes OF EuOr-
moualy Active Atoms.
If you think your polished diamond Is
a mere aggregation Of iranimate crys-
tails you are AVA. wrong IL you imag.
inc that its comporents are devoid of
orderly, coherent motion, you are equal
" mistaken. 1t has come to pass that
we are given to understand that dia-
monds are masses Of active molecules.
Inasmnch as every compact body ia,
composed Of multitudes of exceedingly,
small vet hot iidistinguishable MOLE
cules, it might be concluded that in
solid, at least. these particles would be
clustered together in an indivisible
mass. This theory as applied to dil-
monds Is incorrect, and has been COM
lletely overthrown by the researches
and experimentation of Sir Robert
Ball of Liverpool. The facts set forth
by Mr.. Ball with reference to the struc-
ture Of the diamond are fascinating. He
asserts that We're the sensibility Of our
eyes increased so as to make them Il
few million times more powerful 1T
would be seen that the diamond atoms.
grcgatrd i'll sufficient nlyriads, are each
i'll Il condition Of rapid movement of
the most complex description.
Each molecule would be seen swing
ing to and fro with the utmost violence
among the ncighboring molecules and
Qulvering from the shocks it receives
from encounters with other molecules.
The hardness and impentrability so
characteristic would at first sight seem
to refute the supposition that 1t is no
more than Il cluster Of rapidly moving
particles; but the well known impene-
trability of the gem arises from the
fact that, when attempt is made to
press steel point into a stone, it fails
because the rapidly moving molecules
of the stone batter the metal with such
extraordinary vehemence that they re-
fuse to allow it to penetrate or even to
mark the crystallized surface.
When glass is cut with diamond the
edge which seems so hard is really
composed of rapidly moving atoms. The
glass which is cut is also a mass Of
moving molecules. and what seems to
happen is that as the diamond is press
ed forward its several particles, by
their superior vigor. drive the little par
ticles of glass out of the way.

Hindoo females are regarded as I'M
ferior beings by al classes of the Hin
doc native community. When boy
is born, there is much sounding of
shells and beating of gongs and tom
toms; but silence prevails throughout
the household when it is known that
u daughter is born. A mother is often
supported by the assurance that her
baby is boy; but. when she saiss -
hear the din of rejoicing, she knows
that she has been deceived, and she
bemoans her fate. 1t is perhaps need
less to say that she soon begins to
fondle her infant daughter as lovingly
as if the baby had been a son.

GATHERING NUTMEGS.

The children of South America
and tropical islands pick nutmegs
almost as soon as they can walk,
Gathering nutmegs is something
like gathering chestnuts. Nut
meg trees are planted in groves,
The trees are twenty feet apart
and have long green leaves, very
dark and glossy.
The nutmeg is enveloped in a
husk about the size and shape of
a rusty coat apple. When perfect
ly ripe the husk splits and and a
nut falls out. The kernel of the
nut is the nutmeg of commerce.
1t is beaten from the husk by the
children, who climb the nutmeg
trees and thrash the branches with
poles. The air is sometimes so
heavy with perfume that the young
nutmeg gatherers are overcome by
its heaviness and have to be borne
from the grove on the shoulders OF
their companions. 1 New England
