Every one in Boston and vicinity

PAINTED ARAB GIRLS.
q Traveller Relates His Experience in a

From the New York Advertiser
The Inhabitants of Turkey seem not to be
in the least changed by their intercourse
with the people of other countries. A
traveller describing Shief says it is a
very picturesque spot, perched on a rock.
with towers and turrets constructed 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
villages there is no whitewash. and con-
sequently nothing to make them stand
out from their SURROUNDINGS Arab girls
before they enter the harem and take the
veil, are q curious sight to behold Their
bodies and faces are dyed a bright vel
low with turmeric, on this ground they
paint black lines. with antimony over
their eyes; the fashionable color for the
nose is red; green spots adorn the cheek.
and the general aspect is grotesque be-
yond description.
My wife tells me that the bellies in the
Sultan's harem are painted in this fash
ion. and that they also paint gloves on
their hands and shoes on their feet. and.
thus hedizened, hope TO secure the affec-
tons of their lords. At Shief the men

the quaint result that whenever she ad-

they fed precipitately like a flock of
sheep before a collie dog. These women

SULLIVAN NOT WORRYING.
Announcement of Proposed Change of
Mail Service Seems Premature.

announcement OF proposed SnanSe VI
Mail Service Seems Premature.
A story has been going the rounds of
the State press which would indicate that
sturdy old Sullivan was on the verge OF
collapse because of the proposed"
change of mail service. The report wide
ly circulated was as follows:
Much uneasiness is felt over the pro-
posed change OF mail service at Sullivan
Harbor, West Sullivan having entered a
petition to have the distributing office,
and it being thought the petition will be
successful as all the business Is carried
on there, while at Sullivan proper there
is none at all. If this is done the danger
is that when the bay Is frozen, or during
the coolest months, the boats will not
call at the latter place, thus necessitating
a long ride to West Sullivan or Sorrento.
Poor Sullivan is wondering where its next
boom will come from. Mining, ship
building and land booms all leave it
after brief stirring. A few are pinning
their faith on the long looked-for rail.
road.
Naturally the entering of such petit
ton aroused the patriotic citizens of
Sullivan to action, but a letter received
from one Of them would indicate that
there is really no cause for anxiety. He
writes;
We are not very uneasy over the pro-
posed change, because we have assur-
ance from the post office department at
Washington that no change will be made
upon this route. Since we have received
this assurance, we have sent to Washing
ton a remonstranCe signed by all the
principal business men along the route,
and by all he postmasters on the route
{ n X u pi q he

cept two signed the petition for Il

This is purely personal matter, gotten
up to fatten the pocket books of a few
spectators, having for pretext hat W est
Sullivan does not receive mail from the
east until the following day from the
one on which it leaves Cherryteld. This
il in Il measure, true, but the mail is very
small-not twenty-five letters per week.
There are about 400 residents in West
Sullivan, and according to the proposed
plan the mail from the island of Mt.
Desert wit h tv ice as many thousands as
West Sullivan has hundreds, has to lay
over at West sullivan twenty-four hours
before going east so it is purely a case
OF the little fish trying to swallow the
big one.

ferry between here and Mt. Desert Ferry,
and taken across from Waukeag station
