A Market In Morocco.

A writer on Morocco thus describes
market day In that country: Held on
the open hillside. upon q great bare
space worn brown by cycles of Tues
day markets. the prevailing color.
brown and white. hundreds of mules.
hundreds Of Arabs, the sight was one
not to be forgotten. We dismounted
and followed Omar into the thick Of
the fray, surrounded at once by q
staring and interested crowd. 1t was
an extraordinary scene. Streets were
formed by rows upon rows of little
mud cubicles. matched over, inside
which. on a mud shelf. the vender sat
with his goods spread out for sale
round him. Slippers were being mend.
ed; blacksmith's work was being
done; cottons and stuffs were selling,
sugar, groceries Of all sorts, brand
new slippers and new clothes, vege-
tables and meat. Meat was the center
Of the whirlpool and round the car
casses and shapeless joints the largest
crowd; 1t hung on upright stakes and
branches stuck in the ground"

smoklno Universal In germany,

The use of cigars or cigarettes is
all but universal in Germany. The
manufacture of both has become an
important industry, the number of
those engaged in cigarmaking in 1909
being 175,0oO. This work is largely
carried on in villages instead of in
cities Those who till the soil live
for the most part in villages during
the winter and make cigars at exceed
ingly low wages. Thus 1t happens that
tie city of Mannheim. which is an i'm
portant center of the trade. has not q
single cigar factory. Nearly half the
raw tobacco is from Holland.

A traveller in Venezuela gives an in- teresting description of the fish of the Orinoco country. He says the party several times came in contact with the carib fish which are the most ferocious inhabitants of the water known. The fish are not over fourteen inches long, but they travel in schools. Their teeth are three cornered. Any living object which attracts their at tention is attacked with fury MT. Thompson tells of an Indian woman who entered the water to fill bucket. She was attacked by the fish and reached shore only to die in fifteen minutes The flesh was literally torn from her body Mir. Dart who was with MT. Thomson caught one of the fish and pulled it upon the bank He held the carib under his foot while he pointed at the peculiar teeth with his finger. With a quicst movement the carib flopDed out from under MT. Darts foot and seized him by the finger, cutting that member to the bone. The fish frequently have been known to bite ordinary sshhooks in two,
