NIGHT IN THE LONE DESERT.
Beautiful as the Day-coId Sometimes
Intense in Winter.

The nights in the desert are as
beautiful as the days, though in win
ter they are often bitterly cold. With
the assistance of warm bed and
plenty of blankets, however, one may
sleep in the open in comfort; and only
those who have known this vast bed
room will understand how beautiful
night may be. If one turns to the east
one may stare at Mars flashing red
somewhere over Arabia, and westward
there is Jupiter blazing above the
Sahara. One looks up and up at the
expanse of star-strewn blue, and ones
mind journeys of itself into the place
of dreams before sleep has come to
conduct it thither. The dark desert
drops beneath one; the bed floats in
midair, with planets above and below.
Could one but peer over the side the
earth would be seen as small and vivid
as the moon; but trance holds the
body inactive, and the eyes are fixed
upon the space above

uNcoNoUERED RACE ARE RIFFS.
Naughty and imperious Mountaineers
Sometimes Seen in Tangier.

The Riff tribes belong to the very
ancient Berber people, the inhabitants
of northwestern Africa since the dawn
of history. These Berber people were
overrun successfully by the Phoeni-
clans, the Romans, the Vandals and
lastly by the Arabs, but have really
never been conquered, and still main
tain in great measure their ancient
laws and customs and manners hand
ed down through the centuries, says
a writer in the Traveller Magazine.

mountains. They can be distinguished
by their pride of bearing and by their

mountains. They can be distinguished
by their pride of bearing and by their
imperious tones and gestures, as we'll
as by their distinctive dress. About
their heads they wrap their gun cases
made of red cloth bespangled with sill
yer; their bare, sinewy arms are en-
twined with narrow bands of silk, and
protrude from out a coarse wooden
jelab, fitted with large hood which
falls far down over the shoulders.
Their legs also are bare and muscular;
on their feet they wear sandals of
goatskin with the hair outside, and
laced with cords of plated alta.
Across the shoulders is slung double
pouched wallet for bullets, made of
red and yellow leather and set off with
silk tufts. A fintlock gun with short
stock, but a very long barrel, often
richly ornamented, completes the out
fit OF these modern Ishmaelites. The
Riffs are eternal rebels, they bow to
no authority and are restrained by no
laws. Neither the armies of the sui
tan cor the cannon of European ships
have ever been able to dislodge them
from their natural strongholds, nor
crush out of them their piratical in
stincts of long inheritance.

When there is moonlight there is

When there is moonlight there is
more to carry the eye into the region
Of dreams on earth than there is in
the heavens; for the desert spreads
out around one in a silver, simmer.
ing haze, and no limit can be placed
to its horizons. The eye cannot tell
where the sand meets the sky, nor can
the mind know whether there is any
meeting. In the dimness Of coming
sleep one wonders whether the hands
of the sky are always just out of
reach of those of the desert, whether
there is always another mile to jour-
ney and always another hill to climb;
and, wondering, one drifts into un,
consciousness At dawn the light
brings one back to earth in time to
see the sun pass up from behind the
low hills. In contrast to the vague
night the proceeding is rapid and
businesslike. The light precedes its
monarch only by half an hour or so,
and ere the soft colors have been
fully appreciated the sun appears over
the rocks and filings sharp beam into
the eyes of every living thing, so that
in a moment the camp is stirred ard
awakened.-Arthur q. P. Weigall, IL

After lnfiammatory rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores DeveIoped-onIy cuti-
cura Proved Successful.

about four years ago I had a very
severe attack of infammatory rheuma-
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out in punches. I also
had three large bed sores on my back.
I did not gain very rapidly, and my
appetite was very poor. tried many
sure cures but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re
solvent had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon I felt
better. The bed sores went very soon
after few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when I used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
1t began to regain its former glossy ap-
pearance. Mrs. Lavina J. Henderson,

Total wages ...................$1000 , 0o0, 900
When you look over this billion-dol-
lar pay roll you get an idea of the big
ness of railroading. Take the small
est item on the list-$2S, 10000 paid
in wages to telegraphers and dispatch
ers, an army of 10000 men "at the
key" This is more money than all
the telegraph companies in the coun-
try spend in wages.
And then the item at the top of the
list-$210,OOO, in wages to shop
men. You know, perhaps, that rail-
roads have shops, where they mend
broken wheels and put new paint on
cars. But did you ever know that the
railroad shops of the country employ
an army of 100000 men earning $780,
100000 year in wages? This repair
end of the railroad business is bigger
than the business of the Steel corpora
ton itself-more men and more
wages.
The army of shopmen has big job.
In the shops of the big railroads loco
motives and cars are built as we'll as
repaired. The smaller roads buy their
equipment from the independent build
ers, but there is no road so small but
that it has it's shops for repairing
equipment. The railroads own $780,
900 cars-of which $4,000 are pas
senger cars. Made up into one train
these cars would stretch around the
earth, and to every fortieth car there
would be locomotive, for the rail-
roads have $4,000 in service. You
could carry every man, woman and
child in America in this train, allow
ing only 40 passengers to a car. It's
the business of the third of million
shopmen to keep these two and a
quarter million cars and locomotives
in running order.
A bigger army still is that on the
track-490,0 900 men, made up of $4,000
section foremen-the bosses-and 1885,
600 humble workers., the lowest paid
men in the service, averaging eight
dollars week. But they take six dol
lars out of every 500 of railroad rev.
enue, or $150,OO0,00O a year, and no
small part of this money finds it's way
back to 1.-THE old country" Many a
good American citizen of to-day
earned his first money in this country
as member of track gang.

"In the river" said Mr.. Ball, 'it
took eternal vigilance to keep the
5dugout from coming to grief, for the
water was full of trees and drifting
wreckage. At times l had to steer a
mile out of my way to avoid a mass
of wreckage. From>Sandy bay to Blue
fields, distance of 100 miles, little re-
NAMED standing. The town, being
in a depression, escaped.
"On the coast / was caught in q
dangerous current and was carried far
out to sea- In vain l piled the oars.
The shore line got DINNER and dim
mer, and l almost gave UP hope. Then
when I was nearly exhausted the cur
rent changed, and got the boat back
to the coast After that there were
hours at time that had to bail, for
a sea was running, which more than
once threatened to swamp me-"
Mr. Ball finally succeeded in reach
ing Bocas del Toro, where he re-.
NAMED several days recuperating.
