CAIRO STREET CRIES.
Sounds and Voices That Travellers
Hear in the Egyptian City.

From the London Traveller.
Take chair outside a busy cafe near the
market place and tram center and watch
street life. There are no hungry men, no
starving, pinched child faces, no finger
worn mothers, for this is a land of plenty
and the peoples wants are few and simple
Thus sunshine and laughter spray a well
come fragrance over the novelty and ro-
nance of the gay citys streets.
Here is street melodist twanging a
monstrous one-stringed Something" and
accompanied by nose-ringed girl no taps
deftly on a species of tambourine while
bystanders calculate Allah! Allah."-the
Arabic word for applause. If not quite in
accord with your prejudiceS concerning
music, well, maalaish (never mind, 1t is
not nearly so distracting as a street cornet
at home and they will go away If you tell
them to. The baboon, the donkey and boy
are en- evidence, with a score of perform
ing tricks that are very original and GER
tainly funny, and you console yourself with
the hope of a minimum of cruelty in the
training.

restorers of health!
There is drink seller, bent under the
weight of the odd-shaped jar slung over
his shoulder, lump of ice projecting from
its mouth, conjuring custom in a similar
strain as he struts up and down, making
the air resound with the rhythmical clap
clap of two brazen saucers: refresh
ment of the weary! o quencher of parched
lips. o blessing of heavenw
Another street cry, which may be heard
in the main street of Abbassieh Ga suburb
contains the following enticing announce
ment: Tomorrow, o people, / am going
to kill a camel. The doctor says it is young
and healthy. Oh, its flesh will be tender as
the quail and juicy as lamb Its price is
but 11a piasters G. cents pound. Do
you love the sweet flesh of a camel then

Not the least picturesque figures In the

white drill and red tarbouches in summer
and blue serge in winter.

oracularly that whether or not the final
course at a meal shall be toothpicks is
mooted question" 1T may be "mooted' In
the circles of the very best people of Louis
Vile and the south, but 1t is not even de-
hatable by well-mannered folk elsewhere
The toothpick is a comforting invention of
mans ingenuity, Of which it might be said
When thou pickest thy teeth, enter into
thy closet. and when thou hast shut thy
door pick thy teeth in secret that thou
mayest not be seen of men," Why send
missionaries to the orient while the tooth

The vacancy in the office of the quarter
master general of the District of Columbia
militia, created by the recent resignation of
Maj. H. H. Parmenter, will not be filed, at
least not as long as Maj E. II. Neumeyer
retains his commission. Maj. Neumeyer is
the commissary general of the militia, and,
in addition to his duties as such, was des-
ignated by special order issued just prior
to the recent emcampment to act as quar-
termaster general. The success of the
Leesburg outing was in large measure due
to the manner in which he looked after both
offices. In fact, the results attained con-
stituted an argument in favor of the con-
solidation of the offices of quartermaster
and commissary. Gen. Harries was SO
greatly pleased that Maj. Neumeyer will
continue to be commissary general and
acting quartermaster general of the Dis
trct militia Indefinitely.
Maj. Parmenter has accepted the ap-
pointment of chief Of ordnance, and the
President has commissioned him accord
ingly.

Health IS a magnet which irresistib1y
draws the man to the woman in 1ife's
mating time. Health does more than
tint the skin with beauty it puts music
into the voice and %buoyancy into the
step, as well as happiness into the heart.
A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let a woman first seek perfect
health and all other charms shall be
added to her.
There can be no general health for
women while there is disease of the
delicate womanly organism. The first
step to perfect health is to cure woman1y
diseases by the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. It establishes regu-
lar1ty, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and liberation and cures
female weakness.
