A kurslish Tent.

The tents of the Kurds, In which they
seek the pasturage Of the mountains In
summer, vary much in size, though in ap
pearanoe and shape they conform through
out TO one plan. The covering of the
tents consists of long, narrow strips OF
black goats hair material sewed together
lengthways. Along the center of the tent
this roofing is supported on three to five
poles, according to the size, and stretched
out by ropes which, made fast to the edge
of the roofing, are pesged securely TO the
ground. The poles within the tent, being
of some height, usually 8 to 10 feet, the
edge of the tenting does not nearly reach
the ground, but walls are formed Of mat
ting of reeds, hold together by black goat s
hair thread, which Is often so arranged as
20 form patterns on the yellow mats.

ALI Maryland, including the Eastern
she, turned cut at the inauguration of the
first Republican Governor this generation
has known, and no party lines were
drawn in the demonstration about the
ancient State House. The Republicans
expressed their Joy and the Democrats
went TO see what sort OF thing real
live Republican Governor looked like, any
way. We guess it was a hot day in
Annapolis.
