THE COLOR OF THE ARAB.
TFrom the Edinburg Review.1

1.-THE kings of horsekind are those of
dark color" is an Arab proverb, while
another eastern saying is that zone
should be slow to buy a chestnut horse,
and still slower to sell one of that color
which has turned out so we'll" 1t we
visited horse fair in Meath or York
shire, it would be easy to find plenty
of farmers and dealers who would
recognize in these sayings from dis
tant lands opinions which they cherish
just as warmly as the Arab of the des-
ert. We see this similarity, too, in the
defects of the two races.
The disease known as SPAWN is preva-
lent among Arabian horses; it is a con-
slant ailment likewise of the English
hunter and the English race horse; it
is disease, SO to say, of the speedy
horse, of that which is much galloped.
Curb and mngbone, also diseases with
which the horsepower in the country
is too familiar, are equally well known
to the Arab, and the foot, which in our
day is SO frequently the seat of lame
ness, is also, though apparently not to
so great a degree as in the west like
wise troubled with defects. But into
these technical details this is not the
place to enter; it is sufficient to say
that the qualities which go to make a
good horse are the same all over the
world, and though the Arabian horse
has some features which give him a
character of his own, yet, so far as the
qualities of a good horse are concerned,
he differs little from his western
brother.
We must not, however, pass away
from the typical Arabian without a
word as to color. SIN England an anti
quated idea fingers that the authentic
Arab must be gray" Such an impress
sion may perhaps. prevail among per-
sons altogether ignorant Of horses, but
the sport of racing in India has so in
creased our knowledge of the Arabian
horse that sounder views now exist
among horsemen Two extracts from
General Tweedee's work will give adj
the information that is needed upon
this point. His highness, the late Amir
Fai Sal, of Maid. who was high au-
thority on Arabian horses, stated that
the finest may be Of any color; that
the prevalent color among the first
blood was various shades of gray; that,
on the whole, color went for little, and
height for nothing, and that blood was
everything" Another author sums up
the matter thus: Practically the XII
HARLAN colors are bay and chestnut.
and the numerous different shades of
gray and roam" In the relation of
color to temperament it is impossible
here to enter. Such a. discussion, in
tereSting as it would be to the lover of
the horse, belongs, not only to the
Arabian, but to the equine race all the
world over.

THE 1MpERTuRBABLE NURSE.
From Good Words.]

When woman looks upon bodily suf
fering every day and all day, year after
year, it is impossible for her to be at
fected in the same way at the thous-
andtr spectacle or scream of pain as she
was at first. Those who live near a loud
ly-striking clock fail to notice 1t at last,
though their ears have not grown dull
of hearing.
So the perpetual sight of sickness and
disease, especially when accompanied by
an effort to repress emotion, must punt
the impulsiveness of sympathy But, In
fact the quietly perceptive eyes of the
trained nurse are far more likely 70 see
what is the matter with the patient than
those of the keenest experienced specta-
tor, and she placidly spots his needs
(Which she relieves) while the other Is
sincerely profuse in his or her express
sions of coincidence. Real concern at the
pain of another is apt to evaporate II the
bottle of sympathy is allowed TO remain
uncorked.
Thus the good nurse, checking the bub.
bles of tenderness and compassion is set
upon tending the sufferer, while others
only tell him how sorry they are to see
HIM in pain.

COULEUR ISABELLE.
[From Notes and Queries. I


"Couleur isabelle is a light-yellow col
or, mixture of white. yellow, and flesh
color, (see Rozan, "Petites Ignorance de
la Conversation" page 257 in the ninth
edition) The color is said to have de-
rived its, name from the appearance of
some Archducal linen. Isabella of Aus
tria, daughter of Philip II Of Spain, and
of Elizabeth, daughter of Henry II of
France, married Albert of Austria, son
of Macmillan II. Her father gave her
the Netherlands as a dowry, and 1t was
while besieging Ostend, which was in a
state of revolt, that she gave her name
to color. Isabella swore not to change
her linen till the. town was taken. The
siege lasted three years., with the result
that the linen became 'couleur isabelle"
1t seems that another Isabella makes a
claim, hitherto, 1 had thought, in dispute
only between Isabella "the Catholic
and Isabella, daughter of Philip II of
Spain and Archduchess of Austria. to
give her name to the peculiar yellow
color which her unchanged linen had in
course of time acquired. The first of
these ladies set out with her husband in
April, 1491. on their crusade against Gren-
ada, which did not capitulate until No
vember But if her VOW to make no
change in her Undertaking covered the
whole of that period, she was far out
done by the second lady, whose similar
vow with regard to the siege of Ostend
in t6O1 left her free from washerwomen's
bills till 1904

lola BECOMES Fine When He For
gets His Theory and "Documents.''
Paris Correspondent London Truth
A member of great novel publish
ing firm tells me that it now does not
pay to bring out novels unless there
is some great name on the title page.
lola still makes money; but his bust
ness man believes the turn in the tide
has in his case begun. The explana-
ton given me for this state of the
book market is that novels have ceas-
ed to be works of fiction. The present.
day novel does not give the reader the
illusion of being in a new world and
in company with persons who, both as
angels and villains. are out of the
common. One is not carried along by
the story. The novelist nowadays is
like a ship without steam, or wind to
fill a sail when it HOSTS one.
The hunt after the document" has
dwarfed magination, which, like every
other faculty. grows stronger in being
exercised. Inaccuracies as to fact are
the merest trif1es compared to the
want of the creative power, which
must be a consequence of letting imag
ination rust. Any one, says my in
formant. with the capacity for invent
ing idealist tales in the feeling of the
age, would carry all before him. Of

The present-day novel is nothing
more than Photographic album of

has been great success, not because
there is a lot of photography in his
books. but because he constantly shuts
UP his camera and betakes himself to
his pencil to give traits that stir his
imagination and are full on the most
unexpected suggestions. A roIitary
fact strikes him. 1t inf1ames his fan
cy which goes off in series of the
most astounding fireworks. His best
descriptions are grand fantasies. and

THE STAMP OF STYLE.

A stylishly made dress of Priestly silk
warp clairette, with either satin or
MORE trimming will be found one of
the most satisfactory additions to the
summer wardrobe.
A stylish waist is of India silk.
The front and back are shirred full at
thwe waist line. a shirred collar and
enormous bow finish the neck, and the
sleeves are made of black and white
striped satin.
A much admired waist Is of velvet
and embroidery. The sides and back
are very nearly close fitting The front
is Slightly loose, the sleeves are in full
bishop style and shoulder ruff1es and
suggestion of a figaro jacket are of
embroidery.
The sash is an institution by itself
and the young woman Of means invests
in one almost every time she goes shop
ping. Sashes are in all styles, from
stiff MORE ribbon to soft silk, depend
ing largely on the dresses with which
they are worn.
Cotton sateens are again coming into
favor. 1t is to be hoped that some way
will be devised to- weave them so that
they will not get stringy as soon as they
are worn. Most of these dresses after
a few hours use, look as untidy as a
tumbled pocket handkerchief.
Draperies are growing more eccentric.
One of the latest is an overskirt cut
in very wide scallops. A large sized
milkpan must have furnished the mod
ell for the scallop. The skirt is draped
quite full at the sides, and very scant
in front over a plain skirt of embroid-
cry or some figured material. The
waist is of figured goods. The enor-
nous sleeves are plain to match the
draperies.-New York Ledger.

gold which even that great collection
possesses. 1t is vase of this meal in
its purest condition, without sculptures,
measuring nearly eight inches in height,
shape most like pelice when deprived
of its handles. 1t is of Roman origin,
perhaps of the period of Augustus. An
inscription on the bottom of the vessel
indicates that its weight nearly CORE
spends to two pounds troy of the modern
scale. 1t was lately found by sponge
diver in the sea off the Island of Samoss,

which occurred there nearly 1000 years
ago.

AGAINST THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
Seventy Thousand Brftishers De-

London, Aug. 26.-Hyde park today
was the scene of a popular demonstra-
ton against the house Of lords. Those
who took an active part in the pro-
ceedings assembled on the Thames en-
bankment and then marched in process
sion to the park, where eleven plat
firms had been erected. 1t is estimated
20, 600 people were in the park. A joint
resolution was adopted at all the plat
forms declaring as the government was
unable to give any definite pledge as to
its action regarding the house of lords,
it be demanded that the useless he
reditary chamber" be abolished.
The resolution also called upon the
electors to only support candidates for
parliament who would pledge them
selves to vote for the abolition of the
house of lords.
Among the speakers were Messrs.
.O'Brien and Tenner, members OF the
house of commons.
