Sultan,s Bio War Drum.

An interesting and unique war curio
recently arrived at Khartum in the
shape of the late Sultan Iambio's
great war drum.
1t is cut from solid block OF wood,
and is intended to represent buffalo,
though, perhaps, the execution leaves
something to the imagination. The
whole thing is over 10 feet long, Az
feet high and 4 feet wide, and re-
quires eight or ten men to carry it,

A City of Silence.
Yet one thing, and that its chief
charm. can never be conveyed by pic
tune or description, and that is the
curious sense of silence that one feels
upon entering the city of the sea-
None of the street noises of other cit.
les exist here. Its waterways are
thoroughfares that give no echo and
leave no track. No vehicles rafting
over stony pavements, no shrek of
horn or clang of bell offend the ear in
Venice. All is serenely still. and so
beautiful is the calm that the native
and the stranger alike seem instinct
lively to speak softly and move quietly
for fear of dispelling the charm. The
| conditions here favor rest, and as the
climate is soft and equable, Venice is
ar ideal place for the mentally or ply
sically tire, and is much frequented
by persons wishing to escape from the
wear and worries of modern life.
But while quiet and restful; Venice
is by no means an idle place. 1t has
| large business interests, manufactur-
ing lace, mirrors, gilded frames and
many other things. Its fishing bust
ness is also considerable.
Although built on many small ISL
ands-the number is said to be III
and having canals for its principal ar.
teries of traffic. Venice is not without
streets. To be sure. there are no
horses or carriages ever seen in these
streets, but they are lined with shops
and always well filed with pedes.

houses like alleys in modern city,
and are connected where the canals
intersect them with bridges of.which

city. All the houses on the Grand Ca

rear; and though one goes to his hotel
by gondola, and steps out of it direct

for stroll at any time by the back
door, and walk dry-shod all over Ven

Venetian, traversed the vast, mystic
deserts of Asia and visited the realm
of the great and hitherto unknown

No way was too long for the Vene-
tian of old to travel, if it brought good
to his beloved city; no wealth too
hard to obtain. Through Venetian
hands passed all the goods of the
Orient used in Europe. The men of
Venice were fighters, because the
path of trade must be bazed with the
sword. They cleared the Adriatic sea

islands as far as Constantinople and
