A singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds II man gets in
to difiiculties-tbat is, loses his cattle
or other movable property-he pours a
little brown sugar into piece Of col
ored cloth, ties it mp and carries one
such parcel to each Of his friends and
acquaintance. In return he is present
ed, according to circumstances, with a
COW or sheep or sum of money. He is
thus at once set on his legs again. The
same method is adopted when young
man wishes to marry, but is not in a
position to satisfy the parents Of his
intended bride in the matter Of the
"bashlyg'-that is. marriage dover.
Only in this case he does not go round
himself, but sends friend or servant.

Wonderful Pumping Ensin...

The standard attained by the per-
Torrance Of modern pumping engines is
pretty high, az was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
here in New York, where some large
pumping engines that had recently been
set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise were inspected by IN expert in
such matters who hailed from an inte-
rior city. He remarked, well. those
engines work very nicely now. but wait
until you get TO pumping water at that
speed and then you will hear something
from them probably"
His establishment may perhaps be- i'm
agined when It was demonstrated TO
him that they were at that moment
pumping water and had been continu-
ously doing SO for 4S hours. -American

CONTRASTS IN NAPLES.


Only step From Regal nagniossses -
Crowds OF Half Naked WsshsrA
One Of the strangest contrasts in Ne
Piles Is to walk from the royal palace,
with its fine marble staircase, up the
new Corse Re d'Italia and to climb In
to the steep streets around the Church
Of San Soverino Sosio.
These streets are the dwelling places
Of the dyers, and one steps from regal
magnifioence into crowd of seminaked
people. who are busily dipping great
hanks Of cotton or wool into seething
caldronA Az elsewhere, the work is car
ried OH In the street, and little streams
Of water-red, yellow. brown aud black
pour over the rough stones and gath
er in multicolored pools. while ON low
benches against the walls women are
washing clothes, standing in the dirty,
soapy water that splashes over from
their tubs.
The passersby walk heedlessly through
the dye and soapsuds. while the chill
dren find pleasant occupation in throw
ing mud Of every variety OF ct'.or ae
anybody who chances to be wearing
light colored garments 1t is veritable
feast Of color from the merely spectacu-
lar point Of view, but visit to these
streets leaves bodily as well as .
mefal impression.
Very often in the depths Of these sor-
did alleys one comes across a forgotten
old palace, built when carriages were
unknown, its great court OF honor
crowded with booths, its vast halls fill
ed with heterogeneous collection OF
men, women and children, fowls, goats,
sheep and occasionally donkey, all
living together in the happiest proxim-
ity. The massive old walls are hidden
beneath centuries Of dirt; the wood
work has. for the most part. disappear
