get all the republican votes,
and it ia being claimed that
eight democrats from New
York, and possibly others
from the Eastern states will

to give some OF the time al

the bill to the democrats.

HAREMS OF THE ORIENT.

The western boast that every mans
house is his castle is as nothing TO the
Sanctity of the eastern harem. No officer
of the law may enter n harem, and there
fore there is no safeguard for the life
and liberty Of its inhabitants, One day
they may be slaves. the next prucesscs
and the next strangled or poisoned, An
ill-disposcd man could carry off an enc
my To his harcm and kill him and none
would he the wiser.
In TuniS the harcmS are more secluded
than in Turkey. The best bedroom is
the place where women guests are re
ceived and is usually in a fair state ~
order. hut the rest OF the hnrcm Is in
sad need of a grand houSe-clcanlnC.
Saltwater bottles are strewn around
i'm confusion and the whole family seems
10 Toe in n state OF perpetual picnic,
which is tho usual state in Arab houses,
but beautiful arabesques and tile decor
atoms abound in spite Of the confusion
and neglect
1t is considered terribly modern to use
chairs in the harcm. and only in the best
bedroom is this done. In the other rooms
everything from pickle-making TO cook
ing is carried on on the floor, the women
sitting on cushions,
II is considered unlucky for strangers
TO admire the children in the harem, as

tumhledown hovel before? IT isn't really

well pleased for he knows his visitor in
his heart thinks everything charming
and is merely trying to keep the evil
spirits of the scent. as If they heard the
house hcjnF admired they would pouncc
down and do it some harm.
The best bedroom is invariably hung
in bright tuitcrcupyelow brocnde or

ART ABSURolTIES

Ridicule easily kills picture, and
many works exhibited Of late in Eng
land have been downed through some
mistake OF the artist For instance. a
picture which at first attracted mprtori-
Gus attention was found 80 consist Of
four men IN boat reseuiug n drowning
woman, but all the reScuCrs were lean
ing over one side of the boat. which
nevertheless, remained upright.
In the works Of the old masters ex-
traordinary mistakes are to be- found.
There is q well-known picture represent
ing Adam and Eve in which Eve is at
tired in lounced pctticoatS and Adam
wears q coat aud knee hrcCcheS OF the
artists day, while under his arm he car
ries gun. II was a common mistake
FOR old artists Ia clothe their characters
in garb of their time, irrespective of the
date OF the pictures story.
Many strange conceptions in art occur
in the pictures OF the great fifteenth
century artist, Rcnozze Gozzoh. Three
OF his paintings were originally in the
possession OF the Medici family, and por-
tray The Journey Of the Magt" Horses
and camels appear in the picture, capar-
isoned after the fashion OF the artists
own time. r. landscape in one picture
is an Italian scene, with mountains, cas-
ties and woods in place OF the rabian
desert which should have been repre-
scented. The fifteenth century spurs on
the kings feet form a particularly con
spicuous ahsurdity.
Claude, the French artist, has some
equally curious ideas in his picture en-

Although the Italians as nation are
rather ind fferent horsemen, the caval-

last few years cultivated the art OF
riding horsehack 10 much greater eX-
tent than heretofore.
1t is a well-known speciality OF the
school at Tor di Quinto 10 train men
