HAUEM ON EXHIBITION.

a genuine Oriental harem is now be-
ing exhibited throughout Europe. The
manager of the Berlin Panopticum has
persuaded Il pasta living in the holy
city Of kayroman to exhibit his harem
to the unfaithful. This is the first
time Il Mohammedan has ever dared
to disregard the very strict laws of his
creed i'll such a way. The story of
how it all came about is quite curious.
The pasta, the proprietor of the
harem, became bankrupt, and worried
much about his inability to keep up
IL due style his very numerous family.
The manager, who happened to be in
Egypt engaging attractions for the
side shows of the coming exposition in
Berlin, heard of the pasha's difficult
ties and prevailed upon him to accept
a magnificent sum for a six months
contract to exhibit himself and family
IN Europe. The pasha, who had to
choose between Il certain fortune
among the unbelievers or absolute
ruin staring him in the face at home,
was persuaded to accept the mana
gers offer, and thus his household is
now to be seen for so ~pfennigs ne
cents) a head at Berlin.
Sure enough the phsha showed eX-
cellent taste in the selection of his
wives, all of whom are very good look
ing, and are considered great beauties
from an Oriental standpoint. There
are 4 number of very handsome chill
dren from six to sixteen years of age
aud some twenty female slaves attend
70 all the duties of the household in
full view of the onlookers. The most
interesting part of the show is not the
persons themselves, but the life they
lead in the harem, about which much
has been written, but very little is
known. Several of the paSha's wives
have extraordinary accomplishments
in the way Of singing, playing musical
instruments and dancing. They are
very clever handworkers, and while
away much of their time with EN-.
broidery and other similar occupa-
tons. There arc, all told. forty-seven

LED BY OTHER RODENTS.
A Blind Rat Guided to and From II:
Food and tding Place.

The manner in which rats steal Eggs
has always been regarded rs Il wonder
full example of animal intelligence. It
is well known how II rat will hold
the Egg firmly between its four legs,
then turn over upon its back and, re-
naming in this position. allow itself
to be pulled along by other rats until
the nest is reached. Remarkable as this
may seem, Il writer for the Pittsburg
Dispatch recently heard of Il still more
astonishing example of the intelligence
Of a rat. Patrick Hurley ives i'll Il
rural portion of the Twcnty-third ward.
Some distance from his home is Il large
barn, where, besides horses and cows,
he keeps quite Il number of chickens.
About 100 yards from the barn a brook
winds its way through Il ravine. Nat
urally the presence of corn and grain
about the barn has drawn many rats.
They frequently come 0ut in the barn
yard for fOod or to play. Among the
rats the Hurleys had observed one that
was a rare specimen OF it's tribe. Its
coat was of a pure white. Strangely,
too, the white rat, whenever it ap-
peared. had Il companion that WAS APP
parently leading it. This popularity
caused the people to watch the rodents.
They discovered that the white rat
always held a straw in its mouth, by
which the other rat led it. They con
cluded the rat was blind, Sometimes.
when a particular good lot of corn was
found, the white rat would drop the
straw and proceed to satisfy his hun
ger. But by an impatient movement
he was always able to bring to him
n of his kind friends, who would pick
up the straw, give it to him and lead
he unfortunate back to the nest under
the barn. One of the most remarkable
things noted was the fact that every
day the blind rat was led out by anoth-
er down to the brook to get a drink.
h was not an occasional but a regu-
lar performance. After the blind ami
NAL had satisfied its thirst the straw
wcul be put into its mouth by its COM
panion OF attendant and the rat led
carefully back. But n day some boys
who We're not acquainted with the
story of the blind white rat saw the
two animals coming from the creek.
II at once made a charge upon them.
The leader of the blind rat ~endoavored
to hurry up its charge, but was finally
forced to let go of the straw and scam

until the boys caught and killed it.

by the repeated production, upon devci-

explained by the sitter having made Il

face, using a solution Of quinine for
the purpose. Whether the story is SUI
