PAINTED AND DYED.

Such Are the Arab Girls Before They En-
ter the Harem.
Arab girls before they enter the harem
and take the veil are curious sight to
behold. Their bodies and faces are dyed
a bright yellow with turmeric On this
ground they paint black lines with an
timony over their eyes. The fashiona-
BILE color for the nose is red. Green
spots adorn the cheeks, and the general
aspect is grotesque beyond description.
My wife tells me that the bellies in
the sultan's harem are also painted in
this fashion, and that they also paint
gloves on their hands and shoes on their
feet, and thus bedizened hope to secure
the affections of their lords. At Shief
the men would not allow my wife to ap
proach or hold any intercourse with the
Arab women, using opprobrious epithets
when she tried to make friendly over
lures, with the quaint result that when
ever Mrs. Bent advanced toward a group
Of gazing females they fled precipitate-
ly, like flock Of sheep before a collie
dog. These women wear their dresses
high in front, showing their yellow
legs above the knee, and long behind.
They are Of deep blue cotton, decorated
with fine embroidery and patches of
yellow and red sewed on in pattern.
It is the universal female dress in
Hadramut and looks as if the fashion
had not changed since the days when
Hazarmaveth, the patriarch, settled in
this valley and gave it its name Gene
sisx, 2S). The tall, tapering straw hat
worn by these women when in the fields
contributes, with the mask, to make the
Hadrami females as externally repulsive
as the most jealous of husbands could
desire. -Nineteenth Century.
A Wonderful Mirage.
The people of Belleville, little vii
lage of $50 inhabitants situated on the
st. Lawrence river nearly 800 miles
from Montreal, were recently surprised
by beautiful mirage which hung over
the town for nearly an hour. 1t was the
image of six story brick building and
was SO clear cut and we'll defined that
the color of the bricks and mortar could
be plainly distinguished. Everybody in
the little village gathered on the river
bank and watched the beautiful vision
as it slowly faded away to the north
ward. Whether the original of the
mirage is building situated in Mon
treal, Quebec Or some city of New York
state has not yet been determined and
probably never will be. owing to the de-
lusive character Of such phenomena.

OGLETREE DEAD,
And the Sheriff, His Deputies and eY5 Two Others Arrested as the
 os Result of Row.

1.-The little village of Strasburg, about fifty miles south of Birmingham, on the Louis- Vile and Nashville railroad, has been in a high state of excitement the past week over shooting that occurred there a week ago last Thursday, in which three men were sbot, one of whom Is now dead.
 Capus Ogletree died Thursday night from bullet wound in the neck received in the fight. Miller 6 Co.,, undertakers, received a telegram yesterday morning from I. N. Langston at Jemison ordering a coffin, and it was learned it was for Ogle- tree. a
 The fight was one of the most sensational that has occurred in Alabama In long time, and all grew out of little misunder- standing between two of the men. ..
 John Bice, a merchant at Strasburg, It appears from the best information at hand, found an illicit still, said to have been op- erated by Wiley Bice and Jake McLendon, in the country some distance from Stras- burg, which he reported to the United States revenue officers. When the officers went there to make the arrest John Bice, 1t is said, got Dutch Crosby to go with the officers. John Bice's name was not known in the matter.
 John ~Bice was son-in-law of Capus Ogletree. It ,ems that the parties all met in Strasburg a week ago last Thursday aud 8 quarrel arose between Ogletree and Crosby. Crosby shot Ogletree twice, one ball entering his neck and one his arm. Ogletree's son came up and attempted to Daid his father. Others. including the Bices, were drawn into the row, aud when all were separated two or three of the par ticipants were found to be wounded. Crosby had two wounds " hich required the attention of physician. .p
 Before any, arrests could be made Dutch Crosby escaped and has not since been heard from.
 Night before last Capus Qgletree died from the wound in his neck.
 sal SHERIFF ARRESTED.
 A few hours after the shooting Sheriff Moore organized a posse and went in pur- suit of Dutch Crosby. They went to Jenison and searched q. number of houses without obtaining search warrants, 1t is said, and as consequence the sheriff and his deputies were arrested. Their trial will come up before a justice of the peace at Jemison today.
 John Brice and young Ogletree were arrested few days ago on warrants charg- ing them with assault with intent to mur- der, and their trial will be had before justice of the peace at Clanton today.

BEST PLAN FOR LIQUOR.

The Union Springs Herald reioices over the defeat of the proposed dispensary sys- tenn for this state. Il says.
 The best plan that could be adopted for the entire state would be to have no license except for wholesale houses. Some may not readily see how this would be most beneficial. but a trial would be onpiDoiD g.
 Union Springs has tried the barroom, the 'blind tigers,' or -called prohibi- tion, and the wholesale houses. At present she has the last, and every one who has re- sided here under each plan will agree with the Herald that the wholesale plan is by far the best ever adopted. If this was adopted for the entire state it would prove satisfactory.
 The men who take out the licenses for the wholesale business will, themselves, keep watch to prevent the springing up of "blind tigers,' and the officers need not bother themselves in this line. There would be no barrooms for drunkards 10 hang around and to entice young men to try drink now and then. A person would not have the opportunity of accept ing treat here and one there, until he becomes under the influence of llquor; thus learning to drink because the stuff is kept before him.

to place "A bullet, "a he said, midway be-
tween those ears, when "a powerful lion
leaped from behind tree on the ledge o.

carried him off his horse, headlong down
the mountain, and his horse ran wildly
away. A moment later Jake was lying on his
back in he snow. his head up hill and the
beast standing over him with one paw
planted irmly on his chest, the other
slightly lifted, and wagging his tail III de-
light, while its hot breath was exhaled into
Jake's face.
His first impulse was to hold down his
chin tightly TO prevent his throat being
torn open. while he cautiously felt for his
knife. He found the knife and as he drew
it IA slight grating sound caused the lion TO
rebound at his feet, and as he did SO it ut
him the chance of moment. 1t was a
call for the other lion. Fearing to make
a motion of escape or resistance he
moved his hand back in the snow
in search of rife, which had been lost in
the fall. His finger touched the stock. he
cautiously pulled il down by his side, and
still looking his captor straight in the eyes
slowly turned the rifle till the muzzle
faced the lion. The bullet passed
through its heart, and it sank on
Jakes feet. Before he could move
from his helpless position the other lion
bounded over the precipice and somewhat
overlapping its mark lit III the snow and
instantly received bullet in it's brain.

TO MAKE MEN THINK

Patience is always step toward godli-
ness.
The work God wants us to do he puts
within our reach.
The man who has gold for his master is
bound with iron letters,
Before we can become truly rich we must
first obtain the spirit of content.
If you do not let your light shine, how
many people will have to stay in the dark?
The richest people are those who have
treasures which cannot be stolen or burned
up.
Our future well-being has nothing to do
with our being sincere, unless we are also
right.
If our belief is wrong, our life is wrong.
and If our life is wrong we will find eternity
wrong.
We are not trusting III God, unless we are
trusting him enough to make His will the
law of our life.
One trouble with the church today is that
there are so many people who are trying &c
serve somebody else's god.
One of the signs of the times that the
devil of drink is about TO be cast out is that
it is crying so hard to be let alone.
