The most numerous and also the
most interesting Of street figures in

whom 60 about with hideous looking
goatskins filed with Nile water.
Others carry more inviting looking,
reddish clay jars, decorated with brass
bands, and these Jars often have a
piece of ice at their mouth and sprig
of mint protruding on either side of
tee ice. The carrier with the goatskin
calls out his mission, but the other
with the jar carries in his left hand
two brass saucers, which he clinks to-
gether with a sort of musical Jingle
The water in either case is not filtered
but is taken straight from the Nile.
and the purchasers are all natives,
who pay fraction of a penny for all
they are able to drink.
The street sellers of coffee are every.
where, squatting about on the pave
ments in the most unexpected places.
Their outfits comprise merely a kettle
Of charcoal, small copper coffee cup
with long handle, two or three small
bowls of china and supply Of coffee
and sugar. 1t takes one only few
minutes to brew fresh cup. and as
Turkish coffee goes that brewed by
the street seller is not really bad.
The ever present conjurer is worth
stopping to watch, although the tricks
are in most part generally on the Or
der Of conjurers' tricks in other coun-
tries. The most interesting part of
their paraphernalia is their sign, which
is small live rabbit. The moment
the performance begins the little ami
NAL rolls over, to all appearances dead.
but when some ten minutes later all
Of the tricks have been done, some of
which are admittedly more or less
puzzling, up jumps the little rabbit as
clipper and gay as ever. 1t is claimed
that the ego Of the rabbit leaves the
body for the express purpose Of assist
ing the conjurer, and one for mo-
ment is inclined to give credence to
this while watching the performance
and after having seen the rabbit go
into its trance.-Harriet Quimby in

request Placing the match upon the
window ledge, the Welshman produced
an empty pipe. and, gripping it be.

ORIGINAL GOTHAM.
The Scheme by Which Its Inhabitants
Fooled King John,

This name Gotham, was first applied
to the city Of Manhattan in a book Of
humorous sketches called "Salmagun-
d." written about 1907 by Washington
Irving in collaboration with his broth
er Peter and the poet paulding.
1t was evidently intended to suggest
that the people of New York made un-
due pretensions to wisdom, and that
there were both satire and wit in the
suggestion is shown by the story Of
the original Gothamites. Gotham was
parish in Nottinghamshire, England.
The old story tells how King John
wished to pass through the parish, but
the people there, fancying that the
passage of the king over-a route made
it a public road, decided to prevent the
transit by all pretending to be crazy.
Therefore when the king and his party
arrived they found every one Of the
inhabitants employed in some peculiar
~ foolish task. Thus group were
Joining hands around a thorn bush to
keep cuckoo from getting away, some
were trying to drown an eel, others
dipping water with sieve, and so on.
When the king saw these perform
ances, he swore at the people for a
pack Of idiots and, turning, departed
with all his retinue, says the House
keeper. The Gothamites were delight
ed with the success Of their scheme for
turning aside the king, regarding it as
superlatively clever.
After this Gotham came to have the
reputation of being sort Of headquar-
ters for conceited fools. In the time Of
Henry VIII. book entitled 1.-The Mer-
~ Tales of the Mad Men Of Gotham"
was published. Among these was the
story of the Three Wise Men Of
Gotham" one of whose exploits was to
go to sea in bowl.

Pocahontas and John Smith,

The pretty story Of Smiths rescue
from imminent death by Pocahontas
when he was in the clutches of her
redoubtable father, Powhatan, has
been rather blown upon by later his
torians. 1t has been shown that
Smith in his earlier narrative only
mentions the princess incidentally as a
child, and it was not until she came
afterward to England and Smith wrote
an account of her for the edification of
the court that he described wildly
how she hazarded the beating out of
her own brains to save his. By that
time the romantic Pocahontas had
been metamorphosed into Mistress Re-
becca Rolfe, wife of Virginia settler
of standing, and her portrait, with
plumed hat, ruff and fan, has been
duly handed down in this capacity
