Now that Marcus Aurelius has come
to the front as a political manager
the Democratic journals are raising
the old cry of wolf! wolf! predicting
that Hanna will rule the president
when he is inaugurated and that it is
unsafe, diabolical, damnable and all
the rest. There is no one with any
acquaintance with Mr.. Mckinley
even the slightest, who dreams for a
moment that it is in the power of any
one man to run the machine for Mr.
Mckinley. They know better.

The prOtectiOnism of the platform
adopted at st. Louis hurts the pecu-

of the Texas Democracy. 1t was not
intended for soothing syrup for that

debts by destroying values have?

The Curious wedding PROFESSIONS Tha'

Are to Be Seen In Cairo.
AS you look out of your hotel window
in Cairo, you will see native musician
sauntering by, twanging the lutte of the
country; then a sound like the tinkling
Of baby cymbals informs you that the
sherbetly is going his round, with his
huge glass jar slung at his side, from
which he dispenses Ito the unwary)
sweet, sticky drinks of licorice juice or
orange strip in the brass saucers which
he perpetually clinks in his hand. Late
at night the sounds of eastern life in
wade your pillow. The distant throbbing
of the naggarah tells you that wedding
procession is making its tour, and If you
have the curiosity to get up and sally
out you will be rewarded by one of the
characteristic sights of Cairo. in which
old and new are oddly blended. Prob
ably circumcision is combined with
the wedding to save expense, and the
procession will be headed by the bar
ber's sign, wooden frame raised aloft,
followed by two or three gorgeously ca
parisened camels-regular stage proper
ties hired out for such occasions-carry-
ing drummers, and leading the way for
series of carriages crammed with little
boys, each holding a neat white hand
kerchief to his mouth to keep out the
devil and the evil eye. Then comes
closed carriage covered all over with a
big cashmere shawl, held down firmly
at the sides by brothers and other rela-
lions of the imprisoned bride; then more
carriages and general crowd of SYM
pathizers. More rarely the bride is borne
in cashmere covered litter swung be-
tween two camels, fore and aft; the
hind camel must tuck his head under
the litter, and is probably quite as I'M
comfortable as the bride, who runs a
fair chance of seasickness in her rolling
palanquin.
In the old days the bride walked
through the streets under canopy car
ried by her friends, but this is now
quite out of fashion, and European car
riages are rapidly ousting even the
camel filters. But the cashmere shawl
and the veil will not soon be abandoned.
The Egyptian woman is, at least in
public, generally modest. She detects a
strangers glance with magical rapidity,
even when to all appearance looking the
other way, and forthwith the veil is
pulled closer over her mouth and nose.
When she meets You face to face, she
does not drop her big eyes in the absurd
fashion of western modesty. She calmly
turns them away from you. 1t is much
more cutting-really. Saturday Re-

The rock is so feet in height, and the
Lighthouse towers another 20 feet above,

structure and have even smashed in a
portion of the lantern at the summit Of
the erection, the seas frequently sweep
ing over the rock with tremendous force
Some two or three years ago the stormy
weather then prevailing prevented all
communication with the rock for many
weeks, so that the store of food was con-
sumed, with the exception of some flour.
At last schooner managed to approach
sufficiently near to enable a small guam
tity of food to be dragged through the
sea by the hungry men, and, fortunate
ly, the next day the sea moderated, and
the stores were once more fully replen
ished.
Except in very calm weather the Fast
net is surrounded by fringe of foam.
and the only means of landing is by the
aid of "jib" IS feet in length, so
placed ON the rock that, in moderate
weather, its end reaches outside the

small boat as near as the waves permit,

is then swung out, and the visitor, plac-
ing one foot in the loop and catching
tight hold of the rope, is hoisted about
40 feet vertically, and then the jib, be-
ing pivoted at its foot, swings him hori-
zontally about 100 feet ON to safe land

ago was broken down wreck in his
later days. Some feeling of pride and
shame chung to him to the last, how
ever, and although he lived upon the
charity of his friends he never asked
for money outright. In the crown of his
hat he pasted this request, please lend
me a quarter printed in big, staring
letters. When making call, he would
doff his hat with much show of dignity,
and there would be the mute appeal
staring in the face his intended victim.
