PAINTED AND DYED.
Such Are the Arab Girls Before They En-.
ter the Harem.

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.
5, 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 20 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 group
of gazing females they fed precipitate-
", like fiock Of sheep before 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 il the fashion
had not changed since the days when
Hazarmaveth, the patriarch, settled in
this valley and gave it its name (Gene-
sisx, 28) 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 HOUSE WITH A ROMANCE.
Eirst the Eolne Of . Quaint Quaker Ant
Thcu of u Lottery King.


On tcngue Of wooded land formed
by the Glebe and aoldsborough creeks
in Talbot county there is house with
a romantic story. When, in 1861, Wen
lock Christison, the Quaker, was seized
by Puritan mob headed by the Rev
Seaborn Cotton, tried and condemned
by Governor Endicott to die, pardoned
by the king and let off with a flogging
at the carts tail ON the highway, he
found sanctuary In Maryland, where
Lord Baltimore granted him asylum ON
the tongue of land that cools itself in
the pleasant waters of st. Michael 8
river-Miles they call it now. Here the
indomitable Quaker abode and prosper
ed, wearing his hat in the presence of
governors and magistrates and testify
ing for 1.-THE truth and the light" with
out fear of clubs or cart tails. Those
easy going eastern shoremen actually
made him burgess, and he and his de-
scendants long dwelt III peace in the old
brick manor house. of which q frag-
ment still survives.
In time by lapse of heirs the place
fell to the possession of Richard France,
the famous lottery king" of Maryland,
who built the turreted villa there and
adorned the ground with fountains and
winding walks, conseryatories and gar
den gods, to the effusive wonder and
admiration of the natives. But Mary
land, taking up scruples, set her face
against lotteries, and France for time
coQuetted with Delaware until Della
ware in like manner turned prudish,
and the last we hear of the. lottery
king" is that he had died in q debtor S
prison.
Then the garden gods fell ON their
faces, and thorns sprang up and choked
them, and all was desolation and respect
ability. Again the villa waited not in
vain, for one day the windows were
opened, exposing all the CHASTITY gaps
in their panes. and strange man, un-
tidy and shock headed, pottered about
in the weedy, seedy garden, grim and
churlish recluse. But negro curiosity,
once sharply piqued, is persistent and
penetrating, and forthwith Ethiopia be-
gan to gossip about the strange man,
how that he was q blacksmith from
Connecticut and al oracle i'll local
political circles, one to whom big Six
was a spell to conjure with. And pres
emily the disheveled interloper was
joined by bearded and venerable COM
panion, with head like pear, who
lurked and waited behind the close
gates and the screen of shTubbery, Then
q furtiye yacht at night in st. Michael's
| river took the bearded mystery aboard
and was off to the bay and the sea. and
the police, who went poking about the
place a day or two later, looked foolish
and asked one another inane conun-
drums about the cunning fitting OF
Boss Tweed. -"Old Maryland Homes
and Ways" in Century.

WAS 1T A BlINDG
An Embezzler's Smooth Scheme to Save
His Bondsmen. ....... a..


His Bondsmen. ......
SInEx CITY. Ia. Jan. 4--Officers
from O'Neil, Neb., are here looking
for Bartlett Scott, the embezzling
county treasurer supposed to have
been captured by mob and lynched
on Monday. They say they have no
faith in the lynching story.
Scott was convicted and sentenced to
five years in prison. He was out under
a heavy bond, and it is their theory
that his abdnctors We're his friends.
They think the job was put up to get
him out of the country and at the same
time make it appear that he was
lynched, SO as to relieve his bondsmen.
AT last reports no trace of him had
been found, although the entire
country around O'Neil has been
secured in the past two days.

O'NEII.L, Neb., Jan. At is believed
now that Burnett Scott has been mur-
dered and his body thrown in the
Niobrara river. Sheriff Hamilton and
men tracked the wagon in which Scott
and Schmidt were taken to within a
few miles of the river, when all track
was lost. Members of the sheriff's
posse have returned to the city with
Nose Elliott as a prisoner. The war
rant was sworn out by Schmidt, who
charged Elliott with being one of the
mob who attacked them, shot Miss Nc
Whorter and probably murdered Scott
and spirited his body away.

THE JAPs AS FIGHTERS.
An American Naval Ofacer Thinks Them
Able Co Teach Even Britain Lesson.

An American Naval Ofacer Thinks Them
Able Co Teach Even Britain n Lesson.
NEW York, Jan. 4--In letter to
The Sun extolling the Japanese as
fighting nation OF the first class, Rear
Admiral Belknap says:
''Her army is the equal Of the British
army in organization and equipment;
superior toit in mobility and discipline.
Her navy. patterned after British and
American lines, is in state of efficiency,
discipline and esprit du corps that any
nation might envy. No foreigner has
place i'm either arm of the national
defense, and, If Japan continues to
maintain her traditional policy of
Japan for the Japanese. to the utter
exclusion OF all aliens from every part
Of her national life, she will excel all
other nations in prudence and wisdom.
Not six months have elapsed since
Japan declared war against China, and
she already has that great country at
her feet suing for peace. Her conduct
Of military and naval operations seems
to have been without fault. Ping Yang
and Yalu will go down the ages among
the most momentous of land and sea
fights Of modern times.
VIII Demand Release.
From the moment the present war
ends and Japan retires within her bor-
ders as one of the conquering nations
of the century, she will feel as If she
has cast Off her swaddling clothes of
modern civilization and of quasi sub
mission to the treaty powers in matters
of tariff concern and extra territorial
rights, and she will demand release
from the CALLING bonds of the existing
thralldom in no uncertain or mincing
tones. For years she has been supple
menting her creation of an effective
army and navy by the construction
of strong forts and heavy batteries at
all the important channels leading to
them. Armed with @srupp and other
rifled guns of heavier caliber they
await with composure the attack of any
hostile feet.
As Good as the English.
I have seen in recent years the Of
ficers and crews of English and jap
anese ships of war under various cir
cumstances. have seen an English
admiral handle force Of 10 ships in
Japanese waters. and Japanese ad-
miral maneuver a feet of % vessels,
and I do not hesitate to express the
opinion that were English and Japa-
Iiese fleets of about equal strength to
meet in battle the chances would be as
favorable to the Japanese as to the
English. The Japanese will fight; let
there be no mistake about that. The
sun does not shine on a more datar-.
mined or more intrepid race than that
OF Japan.

Ihefts of the Terry Gang at Mime

Large Sum.
PLUMBER PLANT AT ST. PAUL

Go Through SANITY City Resi-
dences When Captured.

ST. PAUL, Jan. As the Minneap.
oils police turn up the stuff that has
been stolen from residences i'm that
city by the Terry gang arrested last
Friday, the extent of the operations of
the thieves becomes appalling. They
have entered not less than 20 residences
in Minneapolis.
When the attention of the local au-
thorities was first called to the Mime
apolis robberies i. was by alady, whose
name is not yet made public and who
had lost two sealskin garments and all
the other costly wearing apparel In the
house. as we'll as all the silver, worth
$1,000. A portion OF the stolen prop
erty was found in Sixth street pawn
shop by the police of st. Paul, and a
day or two later Terry put in an ap-
pearance in the city and was arrested
on st. Anthony Hill by two detectives
while the crooks were getting the lay
OF the land preparatory to doing busi-
ness.
Have stolen Thousands.
Chief Clark knew the men were
crooks and drove them out of town,
sending a man with them to Mime
apolis. They were located at the place
where the gang was finally captured
when the descent was made.
Two Minneapolis detectives came to
st. Paul and got the stolen property
from the pawnshop. 1t was contained
in satchel and there was about $4OO
worth of it. 1t had been pawned for
$40. 1t now transpires that the gang
stole no less than $4,000 worth of
property in Minneapolis, and the mem
bers were getting ready to commence
operations in st. Paul when Clark's
men got them.

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. IL was the
image of six story brick building and
was SO clear cut and well 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
- 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. -
