This jargon at the entering in of the doors seems quite Oriental. It is not music; 1t IS noise. The streets of Cairo are noisy the streets of Jerusalem, the city of peace, are noisy; the streets of Damas- GUS, that most ancient city, are noisy. The streets of every Eastern city are noisy, for the inhabitants live largely in the streets, walk literally in the streets, and carry on their pickering and bartering in the streets. So you are transported to the changeless East when in these "Streets of Cairo" you see the tiny booths open to the light of day and set out upon the walk, when yoA give the numbering camel the right If way as he rolls along the paved thorOughfare, when the dimlnu- tive donkey asks no apology as he crowds you into a small corner and goes on winking with his innocent eyes. 1.-Two dollars and a. half," bluntly states the Arabian merchant as the prlce of a small piece of haberdashery, as if he never thought of Judging from that mark by the fraction of penny; but we knew the Eastern ways.
