Arab PasE1a Old and FriendIess.

In little house up a by street OF
the Mohammedan quarter, old, friend
less, broken, lives the man who might
have ruled Egypt.
If you ask 90 people in Cairo to-
day: Where is Arab Pasha?" Is will
tell you that he is dead, while the
other five do not know. In fact, after
the bcmbardment Of Alexandria he
wa5 sent to exile for life in Ceylon,
but was allowed some four years ago
to return to his native city.
1t was only after weeks hard fer
reting that / discovered through ma
tive journalist the whereabouts Of
the great man.
Even now, in his SEVENTEEN year,
he is big man; in his prime he must
have been immense. White hair and
beard; broad, thoughtful forehead,
surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh,
kindly eyes, dulled a little by age,
but lighting up wonderfully when he
talks about things which interest him.
q straight, powerful nose; large
mouth, which must once have been
hard and cruel, now softened by adj
versity. Though the day is warm,
ne wears an oyercoat, and he walks
heavily On massive ebony stick

A nervous, irrita bic mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries. is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do any thing calmly.
The ills of women act like irebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, ]" the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irrita bility of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

Tortoise SURPRISED the Cook.

The taHoise is great sleeper. One
was a e5mestfc pet in an English
aouse, and when his time for hiber-
mating came he selected a corner of
the dim coal cellar for his winter
quarters. A new cook was engaged
soon after who knew nothing Of tor.
toises. In a few months the tortoise
woke up and sailed forth, Screams
soon broke the Kitchens calm. On
entering that department, the lady Of
the house found the cook gazing in
awestruck wonder, and exclaiming
with unsteady hand she pointed to
the tortoise: MY conscience. Look
at the stone which I've broken the
coal wi a. winter?"

AROUND THE HOUSE
LITTLE POINTERS THAT ARE OF
GENERAL INTEREST.
Grape Juice Pleasant Winter Drink
and Easily Made-Rug from
Bits Of colored Silks
and Ribbon.

A pleasant winter drink is grape
| juice, which can be easily made at
home for very much less than is
charged in the shops To make
| drink that will keep for two years in
/ a dark place, add one quart OF water
| to three quarts of picked grapes ana
cook until the grapes are broken up.
Strain twice, once through cheese
| cloth, and once through flannel. Add
| sufficient sugar and boil, being careful
not to make too sweet a syrup; one or
two cupfuls of sugar to two gallons
of Juice should suffice, according to
the favor of the fruit. Bottle it hot
and seal securely. A mixture of two
or more kinds of grapes gives the
best result, Delaware and Niagara,
and Catawba, Niagara and Concord
being excellent combinations 4
quart can be made for as low as ten
cents, if the fruit is bought when it
is at bottom price, and preserved
quickly.
An entree which is easy to prepare
and seasonable just now is baked to-
matoes. For this dish select six large,
smooth, ripe, and round tomatoes.
Put them in baking pan with the
stems down. Cut thin slice from
the smooth end Of each, and take out
as much pulp as possible without
spelling the frmness and shape Mix
the pulp and juice with bread crumbs,
a little chopped meat-ham or lamb
O
little butter, a quarter of a green pep
per, and half a teaspoonful of onion
juice Fill the tomatoes with the mix
ture, replace the little lids, and bake
for about three-quarters of an hour.
Serve with garnish Of parsley.
Probably everybody knows that
very pretty rugs can be made from
bits Of colored silks and ribbon, but
in case some one has a lot of pieces
and does not know what to do with
them, we make this suggestion. Sc
Iect only bits of harmonizing shades,
pink and brown. red and dull green
and black, yellow and dark green, pur-
pie, black and cream color, and cut
the pieces into strips Of even width,
sewing the ends together firmly. Roll
into balls and send them to a weaver
of carpets, with instructions not to
use any discordant color for binding
them together. You will be surprised
at the soft artistic effect of old
scraps a really charming portiere or
coueh-eover will be the reward of
little patience and very little expendi-
ture
The walls Of kitchen should be OF
vanished or painted plaster, or Gov
cred with a heavy glazed paper such
as are used in bathrooms. A wains-
cot of tiles or vanished wood saves
the plaster where it is likely to get
many knocks, and should be protect
ed at the base by a narrow Dashboard,
fitting tightly SO that no cracks can
admit Objectionable visitors from the
neighboring flats. Floors should be
covered with a good linoleum, unless
the architect has put in tiles, which
are the ideal flooring. A painted wood
surface would be satisfactory if it did
not need constant renewing, as the
use of scrubbing brushes and soap
soon washes it off.
Plenty of shelves and drawers, Or
patent kitchen cabinet are great helps
to the woman whose time is spent in
cooking

Use Of Amber Combs.

Probably the newest decoration for
the hair is the use Of amber combs Of
all descriptions. Very light amber for
very dark hair. dark amber for very
light blonde hair, always seeking as
great q contrast as possible. Further
more, as to the style of the combs, all
of them have the olive shaped tops. A
large comb is used in the back with
at least two side combs. Since the
run on goId-mounted combs, and the
consequently cheapening Of the style
has come about, the beautiful trans
lucent amber comes as a welcome
change, and it is universally becoming
not only to blondes, but to brunettes.

Proved EffectuaI.

It is 900 years since the failure of
a bank in China. On the last occasion
when such an event happened, the
emperor had the failure investigated,
and found it had been due to reckless
conduct On the part Of the directors.
He at once issued an edict that, the
next time a bank failed, the heads Of
it's president and directors were to
be cut of. This edict, which has
never been revoked, has made China's
banking institutions the safest In
The world.

probably accounted for by the fact
that it is the custom Of the treasurer
to enter all deposits made with him
by other city officials in the cash
book for the month to which they re-
late, whether they are deposited dur
ing that month or not. He also dates
his receipts in the same way. 1t gen.
orally happens that the greater part
of the departmental collections are
not deposited with the treasurer until
the early part of the month following
that to which they relate. and this
may have occurred in connection with
the January collections, with the re-
suit that although the treasurer
charged himself with the collections
under date of January. the cash was
not actually in his possession until
February.
In order to ascertain whether the
