up to Senator Teller with an almost
flial regard, while his colleague looks
upon him and speaks of him with q
tenderness of feeling almost paternal.
A few years ago the venerable Senator
Sawyer, of Wisconsin, and his young
colleague. Senator Spooner, of the
same state. maintained similar rela-
tons of warn, personal friendship; but,
in the whirligig of time, and in the
cyclonic political disturbances of re-
cent years, they have been both re-
tired from the senate.
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, and
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
are intimate friends. Senator Petit
grew has a wooden mill at Sioux Falls,
and during his recent campaign for
reelection to the senate Senator
DAVIS wore a suit of clothes made from
cloth manufactured at Pettigrew's
mill. He made many speeches in Min
nesota on the subject of encouraging
home manufactures and always exhib-
tied his suit made from American
wool in South Dakota WOODEN mill.
These speeches were quoted in tho
South Dakota papers, where they did
Pettigrew a great deal of good; while
at the same time that suit Of clothes
helped Senator Davis make some very
good republican speeches.
Senator Brice, of Ohio, q leading
democrat, and Senator Jones, of Ne
vada, leading republican. are great
personal friends and charming story
teuers. They are also great practical
jokers and sometimes play schOolboy
pranks on each other.
Senator Mcmillan, of Michigan, and
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, although
political foes, are warm personal
friends. They are members of the
committee on the District of Columbia,
and are very much interested in all
legislation which affects the national
capital. Senator Mcmillan was chair
man of the committee when the repub-
lican party was in power, and Senator
Harris is now chairman. The political
changes in the senate have not affect
ed their personal relations in the least
degree.
Senators Jones and Berry, of Arkan-
sas, are very intimate friends. Senator
Jones is tall, powerful, athletic man,
who walks with the tread and stride Of
a giant. Senator Berry would be
very strong man physically but for the
fact that he lost leg during the civil
war and is therefore obliged to 60 on
crutches. Senator Jones seems to take
a great deal of pleasure in saving his
colleapne as many stems as DOsSible
and they work harmoniously in every
thing.
Senators Voorhees, and Turpie, Of
Indiana, are both great men and warm
friends Senator Voorhees, is states
man Of experience and ability, whose
fame as an orator is well earned and
we'll deserved. Senator Turpie is one
of the greatest lawyers in the senate.
They are very dignified men and their
friendship is not demonstrative but IL
is nevertheless sincere.

privileges of legitimate spouse dur
ing that time, and children born to her
are entitled to heritage as we'll. At
the expiration of the contract the lat
ter may be renewed for another term,
or else the two separate, and either
may remarry.
This custom, one peculiar to Persia
(where the form of the prevailing Mo-
hammedan faith is the Sheeite. and diff
fers materially from the Turkish and
Arabian, the Sunnite), has it's incon-
veniences and drawbacks, no doubt, but
also its decided advantages, and one
consequence of it is that throughout
Persia there are no women leading dis
solute and depraved lives. But the in
stitution of seeghay is also responsible
for an enormous amount of litigation
there, claimants to honors and large
fortunes constantly arising under the
pretense of being the sons Of seeghays
of the particular grandee whose in
heritance is to be disposed of. The
grandfather of the present shah, whose
popular nickname, Adam-es-Sani( Adam
H., was due to the enormous number
Of progeny he left. was responsible
for numerous rebellions and uprisings
induced by young and ambitious men
sons of some of his innumerable
seeghays-who appeared as pretendcrs
to the throne after the old mans de-
mise.
While, however, it cannot be denied
that women are still bought and sold
like cattle in the orient, it cannot
truthfully be maintained that they are
inhumanly or cruelty treated. Quite
the reverse. The oriental is not cruel
by nature. and the fact that the Koran
teaches him to look upon women as ir-
responsible beings, who must not be
taken too seriously, induces him like
wise to be very indulgent to them. for
giving their faults and failings and
dealing generously and kindly by
them. Of that found uniform proof
everywhere, but the testimony fur
nished me by longtime residents of
those countries made the fact still
more indisputable. The period is
past when the oriental husband, in a
dt of foolish jealousy or else in justifi-
able anger. simply ordered his black
cunuchs to sew up beautiful Leila or
Qulei!xa in stout sack and de-
post her ic the still waters of the

tho eternal womanly" which attracts,
and In truth there are so many strange
and vital differences between, saw, an
American girl or wife and her Persian
and Turkish sisters that a volume
could easily be filed euumerating

the reader. but I'll content myself with
pointing out some of these differences

other kind of order in so doing. as I'll

True, there is still some buying and
selling of female slaves in the eastern
lands. In Turkey the law of the state
(due to English pressure) forbids this,
but like other laws it is not rigidly
carried out. There are dealers in SIAM
boul even, within a stones throw of
Yildiz kiosk (the sultan's favorite pal
ace), and on another occasion perhaps
I may tell of visit 1 paid one of the
principal ones early in 1886. The
young female slaves kept for sale and
barter there are of three kinds: Nubi-
an Ii. e., black skinned and intended
for harem service), Syrian and Circas-
sian.
The latter, as the handsomest, fairest
and by far the most accomplished and
intelligent, command the highest
prices, and fabulous sums are now and
then paid for them. The gifted son of
Khalil Pasha once paid 5000 Turkish
pounds, about $4,000. for one such
beauty. Many of the fairest inmates
of the harems, though, not alone in
Turkey and Persia, but also in Egypt,
In Afghanistan, ETC., are gifts made by
fathers or mothers to the rulers and
governors of those countries. None OF
the many wives of the sultan or of the
shah were purchased outright. In
Persia there is the peculiar institution
Of seeghay. That means temporary

of Elephants Tusks.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. various sculptors in ivory
were engaged in carving portions Of
tusks with classical and other sub
jects, which were afterward mounted
in silver or silver-gilt by some of the
finest Augsburg and Nuremberg work
ers, and formed vases and tankards.
In the eighteenth century variou.
carvings in ivory were made, chiefly OF
statuettes and small plaques. but none
attain to the excellence of the earlier
carvings. In modern times, the ivory
carvings of India have become noted
for their minute and delicate work.
In China and Japan ivory has been
carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside
one another being specially noted.
Many theories have been formed as tc
how these balls have been cut; perhaps
was taken, around the upper and lower
ends of which four small holes were
carved out, gradually diminishing in
size toward the center until the axis of
the one hole met the axis of the other
or lower one at right angles in the cen.
ter of the ball. and that then small
tools were inserted. and thin layer of
ivory. forming part of circle from
one hole to its lower corresponding
one. was cut and loosened from the
whole mass. So, gradually cutting
from one hole to the next. q complete
inner circle was eventually loosened,

and inspiring that has ever been put

in Portland, Me-, in 1881. There had
been revival in the Williston church
of that city, and many young converts
had been added to its roll. DIR. Francis
E. Clark, its pastor and the present
president of tho society, thought long
ana earnestly upon some plan to inter
est these young people i'll the new life
which they had started out to live. On
