CURIOUS CAIRO.
The Water Sellers, Coffee Makers and
Fakrs of the Streets.

The most numerous and also the
most interesting OF street figures in
Cairo are the water sellers, some of
whom 60 about with hideous looking
goatskins filled 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 a sprig
of mint protruding on either side of
tee ice The carrier with the goatskm
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, squattng about on the pave
ments in the most unexpected places.
Their outfits comprise merely a kettle
Of charcoal, a small copper coffee cup
with a long handle, two or three small
bowls of china and a supply of coffee
and sugar. 1t takes one only a few
minutes to brew a 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 conjurc's' tricks in other coun-
tries. The most interesting part of
their paraphernalia is their sign, which
is a 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 Il 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 I'm

A TRUE DEMOCRAT.

The New York World is endeavOr-
ing to get the Democrats back to the
firm ground on which Jefferson found
ed the party, and to that end gives
the following definition of Democrat:
A Democrat who is a Democrat
from principle fears too much govern
8 ment rather than too little government.
He knows that the human struggle is
an amending effort to throw off the
shakes forged by authority and privi-
Iege.
This makes him
l, Opposed to all undue interior
ence with personal liberty.
2. An advocate of home rule.
3. A defender of state rights
4. An opponent of Capitalization,
not a promoter of Capitalization.
5. An enemy of all socialistic and
semf-5oCialistic policies.
g. A believer in a government of
checks and balances as against a gov
eminent by passion and prejudice.
A Democrat who is q Democrat
from principle is opposed to special
privileges conferred by government.
This makes him
l. Opposed to high protective
tariffs which enrich the manufacturer
at the expense of the consumer. For
more than q generation a majority of
democrats have leaned toward free
trade, while republicans have revised
the tariff upward.
2. A believer in the largest posi-
BILE freedom for the natural person,
but in all necessary supervision of the
artificial person-that is, the corpora
ton.
3. An uncOmpromising enemy of
all trusts in restraint of trade.
T. An advocate of such franchise,
income and Inheritance taxes as will
compel privilege, plutocracy and pro-
lection to pay their full share of the
cost of government which makes their
eXistance possible,

Psychology of GAMBLING,

The fundamental basis of the injury
done by gambling is tendency to over
rate the chances of winning. When a
man specuIates by stalking, say, Fl on
the chance Of winning f100, observes an
English writer in Nature, the notion of
winning G100 makes a big impression
on his mind and means something more
real to him than the idea that the odds
are 200 to 1 against him, say. He
forms a clear mental picture of the
prize, and the odds do not present the
same picture to his mind. Consequent
ly, he exaggerates his prospects.
