Be Cheerful.

Engraved faces are more often the
result of habit than the marks of
Time, that professional etcher, who
usually receives all the credit for
feminine ugliness. Woman is not con-
tent with expressing herself in words;
she must needs make little noses and
funny faces to give completion to her
ideas. If you wall about your lack Of
beauty, watch yourself for one short
day. You will be surprised to find
what wonderful things you will do
with your own face. If countenances
were not so substantially built they
would sooner show the wear and tear
imposed upon them.

Yertises her profession of official wor-

TANGIER" "HOLYMAN''

American Experience Aided Charlatan
In Gaining the Reverence and
Small Coin of His Fellow
Believers.

There is hardly anything more en-
joyable than to find an unexpected hit
OF the west in places thousands of
miles and HUNDREDS of years from the
United States" said New York man,
according to the Sun OF that city.
MY wife and l went to Tangier
from Gibraltar. The day after our ar
rival we paid an early visit to the
market. Suddenly, as we stood look
ing on, there was a commotion in the
crowd, which parted right and left.
could hear the clash of cymbals, but
was amazed to see men bowing almost
10 the ground as they made way. In
the lane thus created appeared a tall
man wearing long robe of many col
Ors and a necklace of charms. He
kept his eyes turned heavenward as
he walked, keeping up clashing with
a pair OF cymbals as he proceeded. At
his gIrdle was a gOuTd into which
some Of the multitude tossed copper
coins. My courier told me that he was
derVish, holy man from the Sudan.
I thought the dervish would make
a good subject for my camera, but the
courier said he doubted whether 1t
could be arranged, as all good Mus
selmans had religious scruples against
being photographed. I insisted, and
the courier said he would do his best.
so We followed along after the der.
wish, through little side street into a
broader one, and having turned the
corner the courier approached the der

him. The holy man looked to see
whether any Mohammedans were
looking on, and there being none in
sight he nodded in a dignified man.

"The next morning we went to the

Why England Believes In a King.

The great majority of Englishmen
of all grades and opinions do undoubt-
edly believe in a king, and think they
have some fairly good reasons for do
ing so.
The great reason, Of course, is that
on the whole the system works, or
seems to work, fairly well. 1t is very
costly. Everything included, it prob
ably costs ten times as much as the
average man thinks; and If a rate
were levied for the purpose on him,
he might feel it and begin to grumble.
But the money is derived from the
duchies, or voted from the taxes, and
nobody feels the pinch or even knows
the difference. It Is a rallying point
for all kinds of senseless anachro-
nisms and abuses. But In an old coun-
try many things have a better chance
of continued existence by being old
than by being good, and an abuse
comes to be esteemed almost when
its hairs are gray and its years many.
1t promotes snobbery and creates
snobs, though it will not be supposed
to be unpopular on that account

DOM

There are many colored families
who are living in crowded houses
on small plots of land in towns or
cities who want real freedom and
real opportunity for themselves and
for their children. 1t is very difficult
o rear children in a crowded town
or city. The place to rear children
is in the country.
In Macon County, Alabama, the
colored people have a rare and ex-
septional opportunity. This is the
county in which The Tuskegee Nor
nal and Industrial Institute is To-
Gated. There is plenty of good land
for sale on easy terms. There is a
good schoolhouse, and the school
term lasting from seven to eight
months in every part of the county.
The white people in Macon County
are of the very best class. There is
no disorder or racial trouble. We
advise colored people who are now
living in crowded towns or cities,
in the North or in the South, and cs-
pecially those who have children to
raise to come to Macon County and
buy home where they can get plen-
ty of land to cultivate and rear their
families in the county free from the
temptations of the cities and towns.

ON THE SKYSCRAPER
STRENUOUS LIFE is THAT OF
THE IRONWORKER.
Well Styled Cowboys Of the Skies"
the Men Who Erect City's Tall
Buildings Always Have the
Crowds.

In the past they were a boisterous,
swashbucking lot. They 'fioaIed from
New Orleans to Vancouver, lived in
freight cars. built bridges and dropped
of of them with a grin and a choking
'good-by." A hero among them was
a man who had the longest fall to his
credit, or who could toss a white-hot
riVet the greatest distance They lived
hard and died easily. Today they
know that a man stands highest on
the pay roll who takes his work and
Its danger most seriously, who also
watches the man next to him-for in
this calling one mans error often
means anOther's life, Harper's Week
ly says.
Even so the bridgeworker of today
has not lost his romantic side. He is
still the cavalier of the workaday
world. See him now, clinging like a
fly to the top ring of that lofty derrick,
or swaying In midair with coe leg
wound carelessly about a dangling
cable, or standing upright alongside a
dizzy column, hundreds of feet above
the ground, with nothing more sub
stantial under his clinging toe than
an inch-wide bolti The plumber lay
Ing pipes In the dark basement gets
just as high a wage and his work is
quite as important. But the ironwork-
er gets the eyes of the crowd and
knows 1t. Cowboys of the skies"
they have been styled, and aptly so.
They have many characteristics in
common with their brethren Of the
plains. They love dare and a scam
pering race. Often they make and
have them-when the boss is not
watching. Just recently two sky
scrapers in New York raced up side
by side-a VeTitable Marathon of the
skies!-and prodigies of daring and
foolhardiness were done by the rival
gangs facing each other across the in
terVening side-street They stole each
others hats and wrenches as they
sailed up atop the loads of iron, danced
giddy hornpipes On the ends of pro-
jecting beams, tried to "best" each
other taking chances amid the pande-
monium Of whip-snapping cables and
swinging iron.
They affect extravagances and Pc
culiarities of dress. That athletic-look-
ing fellow with the grimy face and
hands appears on idle Sundays in
white fiannels and silk hose. The man
beside him is a favorite at bridge
mems dances and has been known to
wear and grace a frock-coat. They
made no serious complaints over the
new order of things-the rush of the
work. Sure" said one, "it's all right,
only it's over nowadays before you
get your second wind"
Said another: This going up at a
story day interferes with me social
life. On that 18th street building
there was a hotel within arms reach,
and one day / got to talking with a
pretty maid-thrOugh a window. Next
u6y l had to talk down to her and
next / had to yell to her, and In two
days more had to say good-by
'GOod-by!' says she. Sorry to see
you go; but I'll introduce you to my
friend Katie who works on the tenth
fioor.'"

About Eqypt,

The total area of Egypt proper is
about 100000 square miles, of which
however, only some $4,000 square
miles are arabic. The population ex-
ceeds 100000, the density of the
settled part thus surprising that of
any other land on earth, Belgium not
excepted. This superiority of Egypt
as an agricultural country is owing to
the equable climate; the possibility of
carrying on farming all the year
round, a constant supply of water
and, as a consequence of the Nile over
flow, natural and perpetual richness
Of the soil, which does away with the
great cost of fertilization.

Canadian musician and composer, tells
an amusing story about himself.
While he was on his way to South
Africa, he desired to keep his identity

conversation with the musician, and
asked him If he would medically ex-

For the ScandaImonuer.

The Orleans museum has just been
enriched with curious relic OF the
past which some wOrkmen in making
excavations in the city came across.
It is a stone representing a grinnfng
figure, showing the teeth, the coun-
tenance being repellent enough. In
this way the loquacious woman, the
scandalmonger, was brought to her
senses. The stone, suspended by a
chain, was placed round her neck.
and so accoutered she was compelled
to walk round the town in which she
lived. The stone is supposed to date
about the sixteenth century.
