seriously smitten until that time when
he crossed the Atlantic in the steamer

Dusky New Women.
From Pearson's Weekly.


Many an Arab lady never leaves her
house from the time she is married until
she is carried out to be buried. A woman
of the middle class is allowed more liberty
and occasionally goes out for walks. ac-
companied as a rule by servant. The
POOR creature is enveloped in masses of
white drapery. which make her look like
walking bundle, and in front of her face
she arranges a large black scarf embroid-
cred with blue, red and white flowers 1T
falls low in front, and, even by holding up
the ends she cannot see more than foot
or two of the road before her. l often WON
der that she does not get run over when
she goes out alone. for l am sure she needs
a dog to guide her quite as much as any
blind man. Servants and other women of
the lower classes wear pieces of black Gre
pom wound tightly round their faces Ieay-
ing just slit for their eyes to neep
through, and they are equally mufiled ,to In
white draperies. Seen from a distance
they might be men with masks or thick
black boards, as in Arab countries 1t is by
no means easy to tell a man from a woman
at first sight The older and uglier a wo
man Is the more prudsh she seems to be
about covering up her face, which after
all, is rather considerable on her part Even
the greater number of negresses wear the
yashmak, but the Bedoun women never
do. Indeed, am told that in the interior
there is one Arab tribe whose men wear
wells. and whose women go about with
their faces uncovered. These are probably
the new women" of Africa.

PASSPORTS NOT NEEDED NOW.
They Are Really Required in Russis
and Turkey Only.
From Tit-Bits.

There are few countries in which travel
ers now require passports IN order to pro-
mote their convenience and security. In
Brazil and Venezuela a passport must be
shown to TIE officials before is allowed
to leave the country for foreign port
This Is vexatious measure, enforced. APP
parently. for the sake Of enabling few
officials to collect small fees
In Russia passport regulations are en-
forced with great strngency. No traveller
is allowed to enter the empire until he has
obtained Il passport and convinced the Rus
sian consular officers at the port from
which he sails that he is neither a Roman
Catholic priest nor Hebrew The qucs-
ton ordinarily asked is: What is your
religion?' but it is designed to provide
against the entry of either of these two
classes.
When the traveller arrives a a Russian
port with passport, which has been prop
erly viseed and countersiSned at a consular
Office it Is critically examined by a police
officer and duly registered.
At the entrance of the hotel another DO
lice officer takes possession of the docu-
mont and in the course of twenty four
hours returns it with permit for a lin
tied residence in the country.
When the traveller departs for another
city in the empire, he must have the pass
port counterSlgned by the police. This
process continues until he reaches the from
tier, which he cannot cross unless the pass
port has been viseed and stamped by the
police. Not infrequently tourists are stop
ped at the frontier, and subjected to serious
inconvenience because they have neglected
to comply with the police regulations re-
speeding passports.
All this red tape causes annoyance and
irritation among tourists who are apt to
overlook the fact that Russians, as we'll as
Foreigners are compelled to observe these
police regulations. 1t is the business of the
police to know where everybody lodges A
permit is required if native removes from
one quarter of a town to another. Every
body Is registered by the police when he
arrives or departs, and foreigners. when
they are III Russia, are dealt with on equal
terms with residents.
The same system prevails in Turkey
where 1t is not practicable for a foreigner
to travel without passport. Elsewhere in
Europe passports are not required. They
are relics of bygone period when commu-
nications between countries were slow and
infrequent. Now that all nations are dra wn
together by the ties of constant intercourse
| a passport is out of date, except in coun-
tries like Russia and Turkey.

reductions of Fortune Teller That
Came True After Death.

FROM the Montreal Herald.
Every French Canadian resident of Maine
believes that a miracle has been performed
ever the grave of Paul Beaupre who died
ana was buried III the woods above Grind
stone Falls forty years ago. Beaupre. or
DO Peep, as he was called by his acouaint-
ahceS' was a fortune teller and pedaler of
silaheskih charms. who travelled from Camp
to, camp in winter selling his amulets and
preylng upon the c-edulity of his country
men by pretending to reveal future events.
-Four years ago he was taken i'll with pnelr-
monia while staying at a camp on the East
Branch, and died inside CT a week.
Before his death he expressed a wish 70
nave his body taken TO Montreal for burial
pronouncing a fearful curse upon those who
ne elected to obey his last request Amope
other catastrophes which We're to follow a
denial Of his Hish We're the sudden death Of
the camp foreman, the loss of the wears
cut of legs and the burning of the camp.
He also said that if he were buried IN the
woods living cross would grow up from
his grave, which should serve as a perpet-
ual warning 10 all unbelieyers.
Beaupre died IN November 1894 His
body was sewed up in new blankets ard
carried to a rocky point above Grindstone
where the bearers placed 1t under the roots
of great yellow birch tree which had
lately been overturned in a gale. When
the remains haG been duly disposed of in
ped off the fallen tree trunk with an ak,
allowing the stump to fly back, thus filling
the hole and burying the body under tons
of earth.
Two weeks later the camp boss was
killed by falling limb The following
spring the logs were hung up for want of
water, and while they were lying on the
shore. waiting for rains a forest fire swept
through the woods, burning the logs and
the camp where the men had worked This
fall party of Frenchmen who had been
hunting deer stopped at Peeps grave and
were surprised to fipd that the yellow birch
which covered his remains had sprouted
from the stump. sending up three shoots,
which had interlaced so as to form a cross
about ten feet tall. When they saw that
the last of the dead mans predictions had
been fulfilled they came out and circulated
the story all over eastern Maine, since
which time the grave has been visited by
scores of French Canadians, all of whom
believe that a miracle has been wrought
above the dead.

FIVE At ONE TINE.
Virginia City Treated to a Panorana n
of Snow Storms.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Virginia City" said Sayre Noble, a Ne
vada ranchman, rs pretty well up in the
world, as any one knows who has ever been
there, and there are few localities in all the
Rocky mountain region from which a wider
range of country can be taken in at one
view. Owing to that fact, some beautiful.
striking and unusual sights are frequently
seen by the jewellers in that favored city.
almost within sounding distance of the
clouds. [ have witnessed some of them
myself, and one in particular | remember.
In TACT, 1T was a sight that no one having
seen could ever forget. 1t was a moving
panorama, 81 and and impressive in the ex-
IRENE, being no less than FIVE distinct snow
storms raging among the mountains and
deserts to the eastward. while in the city
not flake OF snow was falling. The storms
represented all degrees of fierceness and
covered an area of at least 100 miles The
one furthest to the east and at the same
time the most northerly one was appar-
emily passing directly over the forty-ntle
desert. 1t was as black as thunder cloud,
SO dense was the whirling body of snow
and was. perhaps. ten miles in diameter
Any one in the midst of il would have been
willing to swear that a snowstorm must be
raging over the entire continent but lust
to the north of 1t several tall stately peaks
rose out of the fierce storm and lowered
above it in the fun spIendor of sunlight
The high hills that lay beyond the storm
were shut off from sight as though by
gigantic black curtain.
Nearer, and to the southwark another
storm. not so black and fierce as the first
but still dense enough to hide all the region
behind it, was in less active progress 1t
crept along toward the east. reaching from
the level of the Carson valley Upward to
the very cloud whence IT came nigh in the
heavens Still nearer and between the city
and the mountains of Como, n lIgEtar storm
yet, one only two or three miles in width
passed on its way. Through this the noun
tain peaks could be seen dimly, as in a thin
fog. A mile further south a fourth snow
storm. smaller in area THAI even the last
one but as black and tempesruaus as the
great blizzard that with the sun touching
the crown. was sweeping the forty-mile
desert, ragged in awful fury All behind 1t
was hid as with the pail of the blacklist
night. Miles away, further up TO the south
ward. the fifth storm, a vast and violent
one. was sweeping along. covering and h:d-
ing range of thirty miles of high hills
Between these several storm bodies hills
plains and mountain peaks stood revealed
as far as the eye could see all lying in the
glory of a late October sun. The cleaning
peaks that rose golden far above the black
masses of storm they ragged in fury at
the mountain bases and far up their rocky
sides made particularly striking and awe

A Rainy Day.

From the Ludgate-
1t is not until we take the rainfall in the
bulk that We can realize what stupendous
quantity of water showers down in Great
Britain and Ireland in one year, and even
when We have the figures before us it is
difficult to realize their magnitude To say
for instance, that o go $40, 900 600 cubic feet
of rain on an average fall annually on the
United Kingdom conveys little or nothing
though 1t implies something moist. and
when we further learn that the weight Of
the same amounts to 25s 126, 800 900 tons
except for a feeling of thankfulness that
it did not fall on our toes all at once we
are only conscious that 1t makes a very
pretty row of figures. With the laudable
intention of making these latter figures
look small We will merely say that the
total weight of the rain that falls In one
year on the British Isles Is only equal to
lilo part of the weight of one paltry
square mile of the earths surface from the
surface TO the center of the earth When
We consider that there are 121 900 square
miles of such surface in the United King
dom alone one can understand what an In
intestinal fraction of the total weight of
the British Isles the annual rainfall would
amount to. Why, 400 900 Forth bridges
would almost equal II.
