muNIsIAN WOMEN.

The Tunisian Moor delights in color
but has 4 scrupulous regard for harmony
and g. preference for half tones. It was
rather a shock to me to learn from a
wealthy Moorish merchant in the Sioux
ei-FaTashln that most Of those GoVe-gray,
olive-brown, olive-green, pale-blue, pink,
puce, and appie-green robes, which I had
admired as so distinctiVely Oriental were
manufactured in Birmingham and In the
French nlidlands! On the other hand, the
Tunisian women, Of the better class, at
any rate, are without grace of figure, ele-
Eance Of carriage, or taste in dress.
Their garments, often Of rare workman
ship ana beautiful texture,seeln as though
they had been put on anyhow, and even
with q distinct aim Of uncon,eliuess, and
the custom Of the ladies to walk with up
held distended wells adds to the general
aspect OF am almost ludicrous ungainIi-
ness. OF their features one can judge
only hap-haZard, for Europeans have few
opportunities for seeing Tunisian ladies
face to face.
Those whom I did see were sometimes
comedy enough after a fashion, but with
expressions so inane and eyes so luster-
less that the yashnak might we'll be con-
sidered quite unnecessary as a protection
against the license of audaclous male
eyes.-Good Words

Fillmore, o., Jan. ga fire which
was started by a gasoline explosion
in the kitchen of the American hotel

hotel was soon a mass of flames.

PAPYRUs AND pApER.

There is no evidence that papyrus was
grown for commercial purposes outside
of Egypt, during the whole Roman
period, and the industry of its growth
and manufacture must have been a large
and profitable one. In the time Of III
berius a. sedition was nearly caused by
a scarcity of paper. and a rebellious
paper-maker in the days Of Aurelian,
boasted that he could equip an army
from the profits Of his bu5iness-and did
1t too.
Parchment was invented by the. Greeks
when papyruS was scarce, and the Mid
die Ages relnvented it. There IS evidence
that linen rags were used in paper naNing
as early as the eighth and ninth centu-
ries. In paper of that period the hbre was
Chiefly linen with traces Of cotton, hemp,
and other flbreS. The known specimens
are OF Oriental origin, and appear to have
been clayed, like modern papers, the ma
terial used being a starch paste nlanufac-
tured from wheat.
The Oldest manuscript written on cotton
paper in England is in the British muse
ilnl, and dates from 1919 A. D., and the
Oldest on the same material in the Paris
National library Is dated 1850. III lOSS the
Christian successors of the Spanish Sara
Gems made paper of rags instead of raw
cotton, which. had been formerly en-
ployed.--An the Year Round.

GOLD AT THE MINT.
Why Certain Denver SHELTERS Ship
to New York.

to New York.
A deposit of four $4,000 bars Of
gold at the mint yesterday by the Bos-
ton and Colorado smelter raised the
receipts to the highest mark reached
since the big day on the nrst Of the
year, says the Denver Republican Of
Saturday. A total of So, 600 worth was
purchased, there being two smaller
consignments in addition to that of
the smelter company, the weight of
which was 4,167 ounces.
All the gold from the Argo snelter
passes through the Denver mint, but
at present this is the only plant which
SO markets it's product. OF late the
gold of the Omaha and Grant smelteT
has been going to New York for direct
shipment to England, but the diversion
is said to be but a, temporary move
nlent of the managers, prompted by
the premium which refined bars Of gold
bullion now command for expectation.
The announcement that the smelte1
gold was not going to the mint gave
rise to rumors that the settlements
made were unsatisfactory to the pros
ducers. There has apparently never
been any ground for such thoughts
and, on the contrary, the mint officials
and smelter men seem to have agreed
perfectly in all their dealings.
Ex-senator n. P. Hill pointed to the
fact that the Boston and Colorado
comapny has just deposited over 4,G0C
ounces as conclusive evidence that its
gold was not being diverted from the
mint. He also Stated that all the Arg
gold was going there and that the re

The population Of the country is now
estimated at about $1,000, 900, and the
commandments of the churches are set
forth by the Independent to be 1894
529. OF these the Roman Catholics
claim 1901, 439. While some of the sects
which are included in the grand total
cannot be reckoned as evangelical, yet
all may be regarded as on the side of
good morals, while the evangelical
cannot have less than 5000, 900 mem

dren in this number but it is tolerably
certain that fully one-third Of the
adult population Of the United States
are members of evangelical churches
In view of any such proportion of the
population on. the side of good morals
and religion there seems cause for hui
initiation that there is such Astounding
iniquity in the land. The revelations
which are constantly made of crime and

THE GENBAoLoGY OF SLANG.

Some one with leisure to follow a
delicate quarry should devote himself
to the genealogy of slang or to illus
trations of what is nothing else than
slang, in the classics. For instance,
I'VE shall smile" is in Julius Caesar"
81 have been here before is in Reset
It's Sudden Light" and 1--WE give
ourselves away in Mr.. Aldrich's SON

A very choice modern phrase may be
perhaps traced to Henry OF Navarro,
In his famous letter nagging his SOL
der friend: "Pends-toi, brave Crillon!
Car nous avons connbattu a Argues, ct

mean that Criiion failed to be at Ar
qles. but rather, that he failed to be
in the fight there; in literal parlance,
he was mot in it."-The Chap-Book.

Disposition Last Week Was Gener-
ally Toward Selling.
The stock market this week was fairlI
well supported, says James A Pollo.4
in his weekly market letter. The disHosf-
ton was more towards buying than sell
ing. and although trading was limited,
the tone was vigorous and healthy. In
view of the limited offerings and the lack
of inclination to realize, it would indicate
that holders, at least were not diSsatis-
fed with their investments.
The future is certainly difficult to pierce.

factor. The great impeachment being the

ANTON RUB1NsTErN,s DEBUT.

AS a young man Anton Rubinstein had
10 struggle severely for his existence; he
ate his bread in tears, nor did he always
have bread to eat. RubinStein, Whd3ateT
IN life was q. millionaire, did not have
enough TO satisfy his appetite in The be
ginning of his career. And his gratitude
to those who had faith in his genius and
stood by him with their counsel and as
sistance knew no bounds ever afterward
In his salon tn Petershof, where he re-
sided during the last years OF his life in q
castle-liRe palace es a landed lord, an al
bum was displayed, the first leaf Of which
showed the photo picture Of an old Polish
Jew. It was a, Renaissance of one of the
most noteworthy events in the artist
life. He had, still a lad, advertised his
first concert given in a. city of Poland
But nobody came to buy tickets. suddenly
an old Polish Jew stepped into the office
put a ruble upon the counter, and said
t'Give me half a dozen seats
This, my first playing nearer, thus ex-
planned Rubinstein, filed me with such
unbounded delight that when, g. few years
later, passed again through that town,
had a photograph taken Of the old man
&c preserve his picture.-The Minorah.

IN BULF1NcH STREET.

The German and italian poor have
a commendable habit of taking many
Of their pleasures out by families. Not
so the people of Bulfnch street. Large
numbers of family men forsake their
families for the saloon and kitchen
barrooms; a few for the theatres. The
rest smoke their pipes stoltdly in the
windows on the doorsteps, or in the
kitchen, too tired to move about, too
ignorant or hampeTed by insufficient
light to read. The men who go to the
Saloons are not necessarily the worse:
They may be simply the more enter
prising. They go, no doubt, because
they are thirsty, but also because Of a
strong social instinct. And in at least
one Of the saloons frequented by them,
there Is considerable mental stimulus
in the talk at the tables.
There are women in Bulfinch street
who work out regularly during the day
and wash, iron, and sew far into the
might for their own families. These
are exceptions As a class, they have
more leisure than the women Of better
to-do streets. They ignore utterly the
tTtf1ing household cares that worry the
life out of the conscientious middle
class housekeeper, and they nave no
burdensome society obligations. They
are always gossiping on the stairs.
They stop for a chat at the grocery or
the beer shop.
They often take possession of them
doorsteps in the forenoon, and hold
them until bedtime, leaving them only
for meals or other more animated
doorsteps, sometimes pretending tc
sew, sometimes without even that pre-
tense. A few women take their pleas.
ureS In the Kitchen lha1<r0ornss with tEe
men, and some of these have bruta,

of the Bulfinch street men and women
are neither wicked nor wretched. They
