A City without a Woman.

Maiwatchin, in Mongolia, close to the
borders of Russian Siberia, is the only
city in the world peopled by men only,
The Chinese women are not only forbid
den to leave this territory, but even to
pass the great wall of Kalkan and enter
into Mongolia. All the Chinese of this
border city are exclusively traders, and
they accumulate money till their trad
ing with Europe through Siberia has
created o sufficient fortune to enable
hem to return to their native cities and
live there in ease with their families.
Their dwellings indicate their prosperi-
ty. They are separated from the street
by a clay wall, rather ugly, it is true,
but surrounding generally a very ele-
CANT looking house, before which are
gamboling those sleek looking, plump
cues, with unusually big eyes, such as
are pretty faithfully represented ON Chi
nese vases and screens. The main part
Of the houses Of Maiwatchin is divided
into two compartments, and that which
is behind is raised. Fires are kept up
under this great platform, which is COW
cred with mats that serve as seats by
day and beds by night Opposite the
door a niche is generally seen where
the domestic idols. unaccustomed to at
titudinize TO profane eyes, repose be-
hind al ornamented blind. The walls
Of the reception room are lacquered in
red or black and sometimes covered
with figured silk, according to the
wealth and taste of the owner. The
apartment overlooking the court is gen
orally of light wood, perforated and
carved, and over these openings colored
paper is stretched, producing something
OF the graceful effect Of stained glass.
The idol temples are gorgeous build

Ancient Musical Tnstruments.

%IEw aE#
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art
in.New York city there is an interesting
collection of musical instruments Of all
nations, many Of which belong to past
centuries. They lie silently In the glass
cases. The strings OF mandolins and
lutes that made sweet music in days
gone by are broken and twisted, and
the fingers that once swept them have
passed away, but still the air seems
trembling with melody. Imagination
pictures the banquet hall, the summer
nights when the troubadour sang songs
under his ladylove's window, or the
Bedouin camp I'M the desert, where the
flute and guitar were played during the
evening hour of repose. There r in
struments here of all characters-rude
violins and banjos fashioned by savage
hands, and dainty Tyres inlaid with gold
and mother of pearl, instruments which
have played their part in ancient cere-
monies in PARKWAY India and Chisa, in
the castles OF the middle ages and in the
African wilderness. 1t lie interesting to
note that all nations have tried to make
instruments to please the eye as well
as TO produce sweet sounds. The stringed
instruments and flutes Of savage races
are often ~grotesque and even ugly to
civilized eyes, but the poor savage did
his best He carved his instruments as
well d he could and also adorned it
with whatever precious trinkets he had
in his possession.-H. 8. Conant in st.

my father" said Colonel Grant,
s'tried to smoke while at West Point,
but only because it was against the reg
u~lafiona, and then he didn't succeed
very well at ii. He really got the habit
from smoking light cigars and cigarettes
during the Mexican war, but it wasn't
D fixed habit. When he left the army
and lived in the country, he smoked a
pipe-not necessarily. / don't think
that he was very fond of tobacco then,
and really there was always o popular
niisconception of the amount OF his
smoking. But he went ON as q light
smoker, a casual smoker, until the day
of the fall of Fort Donelson. Then the
gnnhoats having been worsted some
what, and Admiral Foote having been
wounded, he sent ashore for my father
TO como and see him. Father went
aboard, and the admiral, as is custom
cry, had his cigars passed. My father
took u and wa smoking 1t when he
went ashore. There he was met by q
staff officer, who told him that there
was q sortie, and the right wing had
been struck and smashed in. Then my
father started for the scene Of opera
tions. He let his cigar 90 out naturally,
but held it between his fingers. He rode
hither and yon, giving orders and direc-
TONS still with the cigar stump In his
hand.
