IN ARABIAN GARDENS
SIMILAR TO HANGING GARDENS
OF BABYLON.
Beautiful Regions of Verdure Flour
ishing In the Middle of the Arabian
Desert.

The hanging gardens of Babylon, con-
structed over 500 years before the Chris
tan era, were TeClkOned at that time
among the wonders of the world. A
hanging garden is a garden formed in
terraces rising one above the other.
There were five of these gardens at
Babylon, each consisting of an artificial
hill, 400 feet square, the sides divided
into terraces of earth resting on stone
platforms covered with groves, avenues
and beds of flowers, and provided with
galleries and banqueting-room They
were irrigated from a reservoir at the
summit, filled with water raised from
the EuphTates.
There are today many hanging gar
dens in various parts Of the world
particularly on mountain sides in Chi
ma. water being raised In buckets,
sometimes thousands of feet, to irri-
gate them. Col. S. b. Miles of the Brit
ish army has just described the hanging
gardens he found on the mountains in
the interior of Arabia. about 60 miles
southwest of the trading port of Mus
cat Visitors have to cross a stretch
of verdure amid the thirst lands.
One of the inland towns is Sheraizi,
perched on the brow of lofty Cliff
which falls to the valley beneath. The
that the houses appear to OVerhang one
another, the only communication being
by means of steps leading from one 10
another row of buildings. Just below
the towns is a cOpious spring of pure
water gushing from the rock in sutti-
Cient quantities to meet the require
mrnts of the inhabitants and to supply
the channels that fertilize the hanging
gardens below.
These extensive gardens, spread along
the preCipitOus valley walls, are the
most beautiful feature Of Sheraizi, The
whole face of the mountain side to a
depth of over 1000 feet is cut into a par
allel series of lodges or terraces. OW-
ing to the sharp angle Of the slope, the
lodges are not over 10 to y feet in
width. The inhabitants would be glad
of greater depth Of soil and the garden
spots have been enriched by a large
amount of fertile earth brought to
them.
The steep mountgjn side is almost
| barren except for the beautiful strips of
green where vineyards, orchards and
wheat fields are bearing. These curious
gardens, with their varied foliage and
ripening fruit, grain and vegetables,
form q very attractive and pleasing
sight. The labor bestowed on the ter
races would have been futile without
an abundant supply of water, and i'm
this respect nature has been prOdigaL
the strips of cultivation being easily
and perpetually irrigated by the noun
tain stream which is led from one ledge
to another, and is kept from overflow
ing by little entertainments along the
margin.

Captain Newhau the master and
owner of the brigantine Tanner, has
written communication denying the
claims of his crew that the little yes-
sci has been leaking The captain says
that the vessel did not leak any more
than usual and the fact that she w,s
able to safely weather the worst storm
he has ever experienced on the PaCi-
fC, is ample evidence that the claims
were grossly eXaggera ted. The captain
says that the crew off watch was not
called upon but on one occasion and
this was to reef sail and not work the
pumps.

HAD JOLLY ALOHA.
Big Crowd on the Fearless Yesterday
Afternoon.

Captain Christianson and the pas
sengers on the schooner Helene were
given a royal aloha yesterday after
noon on the vessels departure for San
Francisco. Among those aboard were
Mrs. w. $. Ellis who is returning to
San Francisco on a visit.
Her husband and a number Of
friends together with friends of other
passengers and of Captain Christian
son boarded the tug Fearless, and ac-
companied the schooner out to sea.
Captain BrokOw of the Fearless had a
jolly crowd with him and they sang
while the schooner was being lowed
out. Captain Brokpw took the crowd
much farther out than usual going
about six miles to the southwark be
fore he let go his line.
Just as the tug was heading for
home and the spirits of the crowd
seemed considerably depressed, Cap
tain Brokow gave them a surprise by
running back toward the vessel and
making a circle about her before final
ly heading back to the harbOr. The
Fearless megaphOne was used during
the trip to shout songs and farewells
to those on the schooner.

ONE CENT POSTAGE.

A great deal of discussion is going
on, both in and out of congress, over
the establishment of o one cent post
age rate. The argument used against
the measure is, that the department is
not practically self supporting. If
there is any sense in that sort Of an
argument, it don't appear on the sur
face. The people are not advised OF
the fact that any department. Of gov
eminent is self supporting. The army
and navy certainly are not, neither
are the Judiciary or legislative
branches.
There is just as much sense in
claiming that one should be revenue
getter, as the other. The postal SER
vice is nearer to all the people than
any other department, and it should
be not only perfect in its working, but
prices should be a. low as accorded by
any country. There is more merit in
reduction of rates, that in ship sub
sidy, oleomargarine, or any other bill
that seeks to benefit classes. The
masses, irregardlesS of location or
condition, are Interested IN low rate
of postage, and it is the masses that
contributed to the life and prosperity
of government. When war threatens,
the masses contribute freely to the
ranks of army and navy, and foot the
bills without compl amt. There will
not be murmur of criticism if con-
gress votes for a penny postage.

Japanese Wives.

The Japanese woman does not black. en her teeth under any mistaken idea that 1t makes her attractive; she does it to make herself unattractive. Her husband is supposed to know her val ue. If he doesn't, he divorces her. He makes no provision for her, and she has no dowry from her family. But a divorced woman in Japan nearly all ways marries again. She brings noth- ing but gentle and obedient slave and ta.:es nothing away with her but the same valuable commodity.
 The reason why lower class women receive more consideratio from their husbands than their upper class sis. ters is that they are capable of earning their own livings. which Japanese h. dies are not So thoroughly is this rec ogniZed that lowe class woman Gi vorces her husband if she Is rot satl., fled, a thing which never happens il the more select circles unless thr wom an is an heiress. when the husjaud + of as little consideration IS Il lady. i is only when she has DO mrthcrs t,.I, Japanese woman i.l"y expect none from her parents.

THE JAPANESE THEATEB,
Its Quaint Stage Arrangements and
 the Sociable Audience.

As n rule. the only things thut fasci. nate the tourist in Japanese play nrc the quaintness of the stage arrange ments and the weird unintelligibility of the acting. The stage is enormous, and the actors reach it by walking through the audience on two platforms extending from the back of the auditorium to the footlights. Properties are removed dur. ing the performance by attendants in black cloaks, who are supposed to be in visible
 As rule. two long plays are presented consccutlvcly. with a tablenu between. and the performances begin at 10 in the morning. You leave your shoes at one of the many teahouses around the theater and enter your box to find it supplied with tobacco box. tea and cakes. with luncheon 10 come. The voices on the stage nt once strike you as hard and arti- ficial and either too shril or too gruff. But the reason is plain. "rhe traditional samisen, three stringed guitar, follows the performer like n curse from start to finish Unless he pitched his voice above or below its notes he could not be heard" There is no doubt of the effect on the audience. Especially do the wonderful facial expressions of the actors work up- on the women. A rush to the ''tear- room" during pathetic passage is quite common. There the susceptible playgoer may weep her heart out in comfort.
 As men and women are not allowed to appear on the same stage the female parts are taken by men. On the other hand. at some theaters where the per formers are all women you may see male parts sustained by actresses. This is only one among the many conventions and restrictions which hamper the drama in Japan. Another is the extraordinary ascendency of the actor over the author. successful actor is the darling of the people. Purses are thrown at his feet as he walks toward the stage, and love letters are sent to his dressing room, for '-rbe Japanese matinee girl is very sus- ccptible.' He may make f5.000 in four weeks. The author is only one member of kind of committee which devises the play. and his remuneration is trumpery.-. Lond on Academy.

A Clever PfcISpoclSct.

In Paris two police officers recently got upon the track of pickpocket. They surprised him in the act at the omnibus bureau and followed him in hot pursuit. He was thin, poorly clad young fellow. In the Rue Roche. chonaut. however, he suddenly disap- pearcd. Judging that he had slipped into one of the houses they set them selves to watch for his reappearance. Tine thief in the meantime had entered a bathing establishment. and after q refreshing bath entered the box of an other bather and calmly clothed hiD- self in the smart suit he found there. then passed proudly and peacefully out before the very eyes of his pur- suers. The climax of humor came when the other bather, arrayed in the rags of the pickpocket. was grabbed by the officers of the law at the door and dragged off to the station house. With some difficulty the situation was ex- plained; but the pickpocket is still laughing.
