and other places.
The butcher wears a blue OvercOat
| OF cotton cloth and has his mutton
ard goat flesh hanging in front of
his shop, which is beseiged by dogs
ever ready to snatch away odd
bits The Muslin butcher never sells
veal or beef; camel flesh is sold by
some and is known by its large size
and dirty yellow color. The shop Is
not over-clean. The meat is cut UP
OF huge wooden blocks standing in
front and it is required for mashshi,
the favorite dish of all townspeople;
it is chopped small on a board with
great dexterity in a few minutes.
The bakers are not confined to one
street They have their ovens in some
out-of-the-way place, partly SO as not
to annoy the neighbors with the
smoke, and partly because they re-
quire space for the thorns and bushes
with which they heat their ovens.
Bread is sold in the streets by men
carrying it about on boards and call
ing out their wares. The loaf of
bread is small and flat. hardly enough
for meal.
The tailor is seen in every town
squatting on an elevated bench and
stitching garments together or en-
broidering in black, Silver or gold up
on the jackets and walstcoats or
about the pockets of the broad ma
tive trousers.
The shoemaker does not make The
European black boots and shoes; only
the soft red ard yellow shoes OF tam
ned sheepskins, dyed red for the men
ard yellow for The women, and in
days gone by, black for the Christ
ians and Jews. The red shoes of The
men are low and do not reach above
the ankle, but the yellow shoes of the
women are more like boots and cover
all bare paris of the feet The shoe
is vile object in the East and it
must never be mentioned with any
thing clean; and it is a great insult
to call anyone shoe.
The public crier is known In every
oriental town. He is employed by
anyone who wishes to make known
some announcement. A man may
have lost his gray donkey and will
tell the crier to call it out. The an
nouncement is as follows: 20, good
people, who pray to Mohammed: who
has seen a gray dOnkey?' Then follow
particulars, and the announcement
ends with: The reward is quarter
OF mejdi and piece of soap" This
is repeated III different quarters of
the town, especially where public gath
erings are numerous, until the missing
Object is found, or an address is CIV
Ell where is is to be returned.
The tarbush- ironer has small
shop and several irons always, ready
Oh the fire to iron the red caps of
Turkish Introduction. The Turkish
tarbush is worn by all civil and mill
tary officials as we'll as by native
Christians. With this cap there is a
graceful black silk tassel, with woven
separate threads, which it is fashion
able to lengthen or shorten according
to the wearer's fancy, SO that it may
either be seen dangling wildly, or
hanging quietly down the side of the
cap.
The money changer is my old ac-
quaintance, who with his small table
and wire net-covered box full Of
coins of all sorts can be seen sitting
at a corner of the street on low
chair in the busy thOrOughfares of
the bigger towns. The money chang
ers often receive from two to four
per cent for the simple act of giving
you silver for your gold There is
no consistent rate or system, not
even between the Turkish gold and
silver. The "NapoleOns" go all over
il. the Orient. You need quite a few
of them.
