Peculiar iCuston Of the Arab IaAis
Of ZANZIBAR. :

Peculiar Custon OF the Arab Ladies
Of Zanslbar.
The Arab ladies' of Zanzibar live In
great seclusion in the large white
houseA never going out in the daytime
fr,m one years end to another. says
the Manchester Guardian. A little
cooking and sweetmeat making Is their
only recognized employment, though
some few Of them can do beautiful
silk embroidery. To lie on their beds
and be famed by their slave girls is
the usual occupation of the richer
women.
II they want to visit their friends, or,
as is more often the case, to perambu-
late the town, they wait until 8 o'clock
In the evening, when gun is sfired
warning all Mohammedans that it is
the fifth and last hour Of prayer; then
they may 60 out. They are entirely
enveloped In large nantes and their
faces completely hidden by very ugly
gilt masks, with oblong Sits for the
eyes, and many of them wear these
even in the privacy of their own homes.
Their other garments are trousers and
tunic reaching below the knee, which
is often embroidered and trimmed with
gold braid. They have a number of
gold and silver ornaments, nose rings
and earrings, bracelets, anklets. and
so on.
They are very light in color, many of
them cream colored. Their features are
regular and good, and they have dark
eyes and silky black hair. They paint
under their eyes and stain their hands
and nails a reddish color with SIENNA.
If they want to go any distance from
home they ride through the narrow
streets on large white asses stained a
brick red, their slaves running by their
sides, but you generally meet them
stalking solemnly along, surrounded by
their slaves. who carry enormous Ian
terms as big as London street lamp.
Very often they do not return home
till 4 in the morning, when another
gun Is fred proclaiming the first hour
Of prayer. It is very awkward at times
when you meet in the streets some of
these ladies whom you ought to know
and are greeted by them. You cannot
see their faces, it is not always easy
to recognize voice, and nothing would
offend them more than to ask their
names.

WATERLOO.
poUeAys Was solely to DlsAs Fer
the sOovvnfau Of Napoleon.

oo0UGAy was solely to Dlsue Fer
the Oewnfan Of Napoleon.
Napoleon would have won the battle
of Waterloo had Grouchy prevented
the junction Of the Prussians with the
English army, because he would not
have had to fight two battles at once.
Few persons realize that the SO called
battle Of Waterloo was in reality a
double battle. somewhat like Jena and
Auerstadt. Napoleon fought one bat
tie at Waterloo against the English.
On the arrival Of the Prussians he was
forced to go in person toward Planche-
mott and there fight another battle
against the Prussian army, leaving to
Ney the conduct Of the troops at Wa
terloo.. It is a we'll known maxim in
war that very great or decisive VIC
tory cannot be gained unless one COM
mander makes serious blunder Of
which the other takes immediate ad-
vantage. It is very evident that the
fact Of the emperor having to fight
two battles at once instead of concen-
trating his attention on one alone enor-
mously increased the possibility of q
mistake. Moreover, Napoleon did not
have the able lieutenants of his former
campaigns. Desaix, Kleber, Lannes
and Bessieres were dead, Massena and
Macdonald had taken the oath of allie
glance to the Bourbons, and Murat had
split with the emperor. Napoleon's
personal attention was therefore i'm
perative. To Grouchy alone all blame
must be attributed, for had he prevent
ed the union Of the Prussians with the
English the emperor would have had
to fight only one battle at time and
could have given his entire personal
attention to that one battle.
In the second place, Napoleon would
not have been forced to fight with H.
047 men against two armies numbering
about 125,0OO-nearly two to one
against him. He would have had H.
047 good soldiers pitted against a raw,
undisciplined army of 67,661 men un-
der the Duke Of Wellington, which was
not only inferior In mere numbers, but
far inferior in morale and experience.
The chances would have been greatly
in favor Of the French. Then, too, the
French army was commanded by the
acknowledged master Of modern war
fare, whose brilliant successes at Ri
voli, Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena, Fried
land. Wagram, the Borodino and Dres-
den had dazzled the whole world. I'm
til then Napoleon had never been de-
feated in any great decisive battle ex-
cept Leipsic, and the Frencl, were
strong in their confidence of the en-
peror's success. Two of the best writ
ers on the Waterloo campaign, Shaw
Kennedy and Sibourne, both English
men, concur in saying that had Grouchy
kept the Prussians away the English
army would have been, badly beaten.
This view is also held by the ablest
writer of all, Mr.. Ropes.-United Serv-
Ice Review.

VICTIMS INJURIES
MAY Be SERIOUS
Real Estate Agents Bonds Increased
to $500 When He Is Arraigned
on a Charge of
Assault

j. NJ. Flowers, the real estate agent
who was arrested Wednesday, charged
with assaulting G.. w. McFadden, was
arraigned in police court yesterday. At
the time of his arrest Flowers was re-
leased under 500 bonds, but when it
was shown yesterday that McFadden
was seriously injured this amount was
raised to $500. Flowers demanded a
jury trial and the date was set for
April 26.
Flowers and McFadden were part
ners in the real estate business known
as the Golden West Realty company,
with offices at SAB South Spring street.
McFadden claimed to have loaned
Flowers money and says that when
he demanded it's return Flowers and
Mrs. Flowers assaulted him. Flowers
has admitted striking McFadden, but
claims the latter drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot him. McFadden
suffered several severe injuries in the
fight and Flowers was also injured.
