the marriage feast is lively enough.
The Moors are great believers
in eating and drinking The back
bone of the banquet is the great
dish of cuscussu, the national dish of
Morocco, which seems to be a con-
glomeration of almost everything that
a civilized man does not want to eat.
Chickens, fish, goat, mutton, sticky
preserved fruits, cups of sweet green
tea, and iced cakes, are served in gen.
erous profusion; and the unhappy
stranger is forced to taste all of them
Every traveller in Morocco remarks
upon the curious flavor of soap in the
food he gets; it is nnost distinct in the
wedding feast.

though their employment is likely to
be limited TO special duty.
There are 5000 women carpenters
in Michigan regularly employed at
their calling. Most of these are en-
gagged in some branch of the great
furniture making industry.
Much is written of women lawyers
but little about women detectives, yet
there are as many of the latter, lack

number is 27o.
New York City furnishes her full
share of unusual occupations for wo-
men, with 900 harness makers of the
gentler sex, $40 grocers and nearly
100 women druggists. In many OF
these cases the women are those who
have had their business left to them
by husbands or fathers.

jewelry and precious stones. The
prettiness of her face is rather spoiled
by the lips and eyes being painted

four or FIVE hours to execute. Her
