green spots adorn the cheek, and the gen.
eral aspect is grotesque beyond description
Ny 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 affec-
tons of their lords. At Shief, the men
would not allow my wife to approach or
hold any intercourse with the Arab wo-
men, using opprobrious epithets when she
tried to make friendly overtures, with the
quaint result that whenever Mrs. Bent adj
yanced toward a group of gazing females
they fed preeipitately, like flock of sheep
before collie dog. These women wear
their dresses high in front, showing their
yellow legs above the knee, and long be-
hind; they are of deep blue cotton, decora-
ted with fine embroidery and patches of
yellow and red sewn on in pattern.
1t is the universal female dress in Hadra-
NUT, and looks as if the fashion had not
changed since the days when Hazarmaveth

gave it his name (Gen. x:2S). The tall,
tapering straw hat worn by these women

A MUNICIPAL WASHHOUSE.
A Place in Glasgow Where Clothing Is
Freed From Danger.

A Place in Glasgow Where Clothing Is
Freed From Danger.
The city of Glasgow has been furnishing
some of the most interesting engineering
undertakings at present under construc-
ton. There is the district railway, the
sewage disposal works, the cable roads,
the tunnels under the Clyde, and last,
but not least in public value, the new
washhouse. The washhouse is not pub
lie laundry, but is municipal establish
ment where bedding, clothing and furni-
ture are washed when there is any danger
of its being infected with disease germs.
To person who has not followed the re-
quirements of modern science an enumer-
alton of the machinery in this establish
ment will doubtless be surprise, while a
description of nothing more than the
general processes followed in cleaning and
disinfecting the articles which are sent to
the place would take up several columns.
The center of the main building con-
tains a machinery hall 100 feet long, so
feet wide and 25 feet high, and grouped
and smallpox articles, for carpet beating,
bed disinfecting, fumigatipg, drying and
many other purposes. Outside of the main
building are number of smaller ones,
among them the crematory, where straw
and chaff beds and other useless material
is burned. When the materials reach
the washhouse the beds, pillows, coats and
other special articles are sent to steam dis
infectors, the blankets and all laces, rib
bons and fragile articles are sent to series
of washtubs or to 'doily" machine; mats
and floor cloths are put in so-called mat
pond, while the colored and white articles
are separated, drenched with solution of
bichloride of mercury and then placed in
steam rotary washing-machines.
All carpets are treated in a specially de-
signed machine, which, after extracting
the dust, throws the infected and other
particles into spray chamber, from which
they are discharged into special drains.
After the clothing is washed and rinsed it
is placed in big machines driven by indie
pendent engines, in which it is revolved at
the rate of 1000 revolutions a minute,
speed so high that if the finger touches the
revolving case it is burned Just as with fire.
All this machinery, and much more, is
recent product OF mechanical engineering,
and an inspection of it shows the impor-
lance OF mechanical apparatus in a profess
sion, medicine, which is generally regarded
as particularly Independent of all outside
aid.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Promising Boy.

A sharp snip of a boy went into the Office
OF business house on Jefferson avenue
and delivered q note to the manager, who
read the note and looked the boy over.
"Your father" he said, 'says you want
to go to work"
1--WE heard him say that good many
times responded the boy carelessly.
is that so?"
ayes, SIR"
"Well, that's what he has written in this
note.'
"Did he write that?n asked the boy in
considerable surprise.
''Of course
"And sign his name to it?n
Certainly. Look for yourself" And
the puzzled manager handed the note over
to the youngster
tie read 1t over carefully and noted the
signature.
Well" he exclaimed. az wouldn't
although the old gent would a-done it.D
Done what2" asked the still more puz-
zled manager.
Put his name to that, of course" re-
piled the. boy. ut ain so bad,n he con-
tinued, "when body tells what amt so,
but when he puts it down in black and
white and signs his name to it, it's about
time he was having somebody to watch
him.
Then it began to dawn on the manager.
and he took the lad in, and. though he
never did want to work, he was always
honest, which is not to be sneezed at in
these days of modern Observation-Disclosures

Insect Secretions.

The strongly vesicating power of certain
parts of the apparatus of the blister beetle
of course suggested that the function OF
cantharidin in the economy of the insect
might be connected in some way with the
reproductive process. But that such is not
necessarily the case evidently follows from
the fact that the insect possesses the prop
erty to greater or less degree in all its
stages, including those in which it is sexu-
ally immature. Even the eggs are pos
sessed of the blistering power, though this
perhaps is no more than might be ex-
pected, since the ovaries are strongly i'm
pregnated with cantharidin.
In 1883 Reauregard took portion of
freshly laid hatch of eggs and, working
them up into paste with little water,
applied the little plaster so formed to his
arm. After four hours the smarting pro-
duced was sufficiently intense to lead him
to stop the experiment. he therefore re-
moved the plaster, and few minutes after
an enormous blister appeared on the spot,
attesting the strongly yesicating property
of the freshly laid eggs.
In the Larvae the property was found to
be much less intense. Ten Larvae, sew eral
days old, were crushed and made into q
plaster, which was applied as before. Even
after eight hours nothing more than con-
siderable Inflammation was developed, and
no blister appeared. When, however, a
larger application of the crushed bodies of
two dozen similar larvae was made, bis
ter was produced after the lapse of the
same time.-Knowledge

BULWER'S APPEARANCE.
His Deafness Proved Bar to His Am.
bitiOn.


bition.
Bulwer's appearance was decidedly what
is generally understood by "aristocratic, :"
or what the French call s'distingue." TALL
slim, with finely cut features, prominent
among which was long aquiline nose,
with an abundant crop of curly brown hair
and full beard, the first impression he
produced, aided by careful toilet, was
one OF ease and elegance. at q dinner
table, where he liked to speak, and, if pos
sible, to speak alone, he was certainly useful
as well as ornamental, with his large blue
ribbon and star of the Order of the Bath
There was certain naivete, strange as
that word may sound when applied to so
confirmed man of the world, in his vain
and very apparent struggle against the ir-
reslstlbie encroachments OF age. He did
not give ln.wlth that philosophical resigna-
ton which might have been expected of
one so clever, and in some respects so wise.
he fought against it tooth and nail.
Lord Lytton's hair seemed dyed, and his
face looked as if art had been called in to
rejuyenate it. A quack in Paris had pre-
tended to cure his growing deafness, con-
slant source OF legitimate grief to him. He
was radiant one autumn on his return to
town because he thought he was cured, but
not for long.
The copious use of snuff was, no doubt,
part OF the attempted cure, of which the
most palpable results were large dark red
or blue pocket handkercniefs, quite out of
harmony with his otherwise elegant toilet
HIS expressions of regret at his impaired
digestive organs had something ludicrous
about 1t. He would point with a sigh to a
rosy,cheeked American apple and say, ITO
thatr'
One OF his physical infirmities--his deaf
ness-proved a bar to his ambition. He
was sorely disappointed when Lord Bea-
consfield, instead of including him in his
last Cabinet, kicked him upstairs" into
the House of Lords, principally because he
could not follow the debates.-F'rom Leh-
mans Recollections.

houses personal handbook on the
Pacific Bank, were introduced into EVIL
dence by the prosecution.
The witness was cross-examined By Mr..
Livernash as to every move he made in re-
gard to the check transaction with the de-
PENDANT, and his relations with the Pacific
Bank and his duties as director, as well as
to his deposits there.
He admitted that he testified against the
defendant before the Grand Jury when
that body was investigating Mcdonald.
Mr.. Livernash tried to probe into
the witness relations with the Peo-
pies Home Bank, but Judge Murphy cut
off all inquiry in that direction. He adj
mitted that he told the Grand Jury that he
had not signed the seven checks, but when
he did so he believed he had not. Although
a director of the Pacific Bank, he did not
buy any stock. Twenty shares stood in
his name.
The cross-examination of the witness
had not been completed when court ad-
journed until to-day at 10 A. N.

She Had Counterfeit Money.
The town has recently been flooded with
counterfeit $40 bills, and the police have
been very uneasy over tbs matter. Last
night well dressed and handsome young
woman went into Graham's drugstore
under the Crellin Hotel and made small
purchase, rendering in payment $40 bill.
Mr. Graham had heard of the counter
feits, and Immediately made an excuse that
he had to go out to getthe bill changed.
He could not see an officer, but went back
and told the woman the bill was not good.
She afterward passed like bill at Giers'
winehouse, getting bottle of port and the
change.
In the meantime Graham had informed
Officer Hines and hunt was made for the
woman. She was seen to board an Eighth
street car, and at Alice street the car was
overtaken and the woman arrested. She
had neither the wine nor the money, ex-
cept little small change, and it is certain
there is an accomplice.
She had been seen with dressy young
man with a blonde mustache, and the
police are now on the lookout for that in
dividual. At the City Prison the young
woman refused to give any information
about herself

Shief is very picturesque spot, perched
on a rock, with tower and turrets con-
structed of sun-dried brick; only here, as
elsewhere in these valleys, the houses are SO
exactly the same color as the rock behind
them that they lose their effect. The rich
have evidently recognized this difficulty,
and whitewash their houses, but in the
poorer village there is no whitewash, and
consequently nothing to make them stand
out from their surroundings. Arab girls,
before they enter the harem and take the
veil, are curious sight to behold. Their
bodies and faces are dyed bright yellow
with turmeric; on this ground they paint

International Convention at SPRING
field, Mass, Was Very successful.
The International Y. NJ. G. A, conven-
ton at Springfield, Mass, has been the
most successful gathering in the history
of the organization, and as result of the
exchange of opinions and methods. Il
great increase in the scope of the work is
expected during the coming year. The
opening session in the State Street Bap-
tist Church on the last morning of the
convention was devoted to an exchange
of views concerning the duty Of the Assoc
Citations to young men of foreign birth
and parentage, and also the relation of the
organizations to the social economic uues-
tons Of the day. The principal speakers
were Rev. A. a. Buerle, of Boston: Prof.
Graham Taylor, of Chicago. and Ccphas
Brainard, of New York. Before the re-
cess delegates devoted half an hour to
season of prayer.
In the afternoon there were ten parlor
conferences to consider railroad work,
college work, boys work, work among
French-speaking young men and kindred
subjects. At night there was an immense
mass meeting at the city hall, at which
Dwight l.. Moody spoke on the work OF
the Holy Spirit. Sunday there were spe-
cial services in the various churches, clos
ing with great farewell meeting in the
evening
