Beneath tho Haik.

Disappointing is glance beneath
the Haik OF Moorish maiden. The
faces of the Moorish women are too
broad to be beautiful. Their eyes are
dark and lustrous, but every device OF
art is used to give them the appear
snce they present in the street to the
curious stranger. Art also generally
supplies the complexion. The eye
lashes are luxuriapt and the eyebrows
finely arched. The mouth is large,
but the teeth are beautifully white.
In the middle of the forehead and on
the chin are generally two tattoo
marks OF peculiar device-the distinc-
tive badge or crest of the family to
which the individual belongs. What.
ever may be said of it's women. Tan
gier has long been famous in the an.
nails of art. Here Regnault painted
his famous "Executioners" and For
tuny his Snake Charmers," and here
also Alma Tadema is said to have re-
ceived the inspiration for many of his
characteristic combinations of color.
The chief hunting ground of the
brotherhood is the soiy, but at every
street corner ihnumerable scenes pre-
sent themselves worthy of artistic
treatment. --Good Words.

Over 5000 delegates were present

ligion in Toronto. There were Prot.
estants, Roman Catholics and Jews.
Rev. DIR. VIM Dean, the first Bap,

Rev. Benjamin Waugh has retired
from the editorship of the London Sum
day Magazine, his work in connection
with the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children leaving him no lei
sure for other labors.
DIR. Ernest Dryander is called the
Phillips Brooks of Berlin. His work
greatly resembles that of the famous
American Episcopalian prelate, and,
strangely enough, his personal appear
ance is also very similar.
Rev. DIR. Newman Hall, the famous
dissenting minister of England, is a
fine specimen of the physical man, des-
pite his age. He is now rs years old,
but he often walks dozen or more
miles Sundays to and from his church.

tics of churches, just printed, shows

WHEN BABY SINGS.

When baby sings seem to hear
The music OF the angels near;
The melodies she must have heard
Before she came, our little bird.
Her words are singing "bye-o-bye."
But full OF sweetnees from on high,
And truth and purity each note
Attume with beauty In her throat
The brooklet's voice, the song OF birds
Are sweetest sounds, though lacking
= words.
And baby's song, though but an air,
Is music, true, divine and rare
When the baby sings, so soft and low,
I'm in the land where flowers grew;
Where violets shy peep through the grass,
And breezes kiss them as they pass.
The robin and the bobolink
The meadows sweet and rivers brink,
The rustling leaves and cooling springs,
All come In view when baby sings.
Her dolly In her arms she holds,
And closely to her heart eniolds,
Her trusting face is like rose.
When bspy sings II to repose,
Oh, baby dear, I'm truly blest.
To see thy face by heaven caress'd,
My heart is Joy and God Is love,
When baby sings, like saints above.

THOSE TRYING TIMES.
What's to be Done When One Meets an FIX
Admirer.


Admirer.
One of the most difficult positions
which it is the lot of all fairly attrac
tive young women TO encounter is the
chance meeting with the admirer OF
long ago. Every young woman who
has ever had the good fortune to in.
spire eternal devotion, guaranteed TO
last six months, more than once invar.
ably meets the ex-adorer on some
awkward occasion, and has chance
to establish herself forever as
the most agreeable and tactful
of her sex or as the reverse.
1t Is usually chance which brings
them together, or it may be some inju-
dicious relative who imagines that If
they but meet again all will be well
Angelina is calling somewhere, and
the maid ushers in the might-have-
been Edwin. The hostess, recalling
that three years ago, before Edwin
went to Tacoma or to Naples, he was
Angelina's shadow, smiles significantly
and exclaims: What coincidence.
Angelina, remembering that three
years ago Edwin had maintained that
he could not live without her, marvels
at his healthy appearance, and re-
marks:
"Why, how we'll you lookl' After a
few minutes conversation the hostess,
with preternaturally acute ears, dis
covers that she hears her baby crying
in the distant nursery and begs her
guests to excuse her few minutes.
An awkward pause follows, in which
her evil genius usually prompts Ange-
lima to say:
$50 you are not married yet?"
i Edwin is, of course, incensed. He
has long since ceased to care about
Angelina, and has, in fact, forgotten
the color of her eyes, but her remark is
in the nature of n challenge
$50 you thought would be-" he rc-
marks coldly.
il Then he and Angelina go over the
old ground. He is annoyed to find
that she has believed it possible for
him tofbe tickle. In order to prove
that he is not he almost proposes
again, but is restrained by the timely
remembrance of his engagement and
the return of the hostess Angelina is
flattered until the hostess playfully
comments on his engagement.

Music and Dritlres,

The majority of readers have doubt
less heard that il is possible to fiddle
n bridge down." or, in other words,
that music will materially injure such
structures. Persons who really believe
that music will cause such vibrations
in bridge as to throw ii from its foun-
dation piers, if kept up for sufficient
length Of time, cite the fact that when
armies are marching orders are given
to stop the music before the troops reach
the bridge, especially If the structure be
one built ON the suspension plan. But
this is not done because there is any
danger to tho bridge on account OF the
vibrations caused by the music, but be-
cause the measured tread of a vast
number of men keeping step would sub
ject the structure to a greater strain
than an irregular agitation. The reason
Of this is obvious; The bridge suffers
least strain when at rest. When in uni
form motion throughout all its parts,
IL acquires a momentum equal to the
entire suspended weight multiplied by
the velocity of such motion. This being
the case, it is clear that a uniform
downward vibration will soon reach the
breaking strain, while the same disturb
ing forces. acting irregularly, would
counteract each other to certain de-
gree and thus be far less trying st
