l retained an impression. vivid if fugitive, OF
kaleidoscope colors passing swiftly by, blurred
by the blue mist of the smoke mingling with the
thick. white desert dust. The noise Of the firing
of the beating hoofs and Of the wild cheering OF
the multitude of spectators the sight OF the many
colored burnouses and the bronze faces under
their white turbans, left a confused sense upon
my mind as Of something strange and fantastic,
almost unreal.
Driving home. we saw the sun setting behind
the groves of palms in a sky that was colored
like a pomegranate blossom, with a glow that
turned the very sands to flame. Djebl Ahmar-
Kraddou, tallest peak of the Aures mountains,
caught the reflection of it and shone as with rose
colored fire. The palm fronds were softly stem
ciled against the sky. Then the swift, sudden twi-
light of the South drew it's delicate purple veil
over the scene. Strange music stole out Of the
silences, the faint flute notes, liquid and tender,
of the gazbah, the dull t%hrobbing of tom-tom and
derbouka. The moon rose over the white city OF
the desert and, touched by its matchless radiance,
the streets looked as If they had been wrought OF
cleaning marble; the cold indigo shadows flung
by the houses were sharply defined. And surely
nowhere in the world can one see a wider expanse
Of sky, filled from end to end with clusters OF
golden stars, than that which hangs its canopy
velvet-soft, above the Heart OF the Desert.

Only two shillings.' remarked the
bishop; then he continued pleasantly.

A physician who believes in baths
as a tonic advises the use of EPSON
or Carlsbad salts-preferably the for
mer-for a general invigoration. They
should be used not more than twice a
week.
Take one ounce of the salts to a
pint of warm water for a sponge bath.
For a large tub bath use a pint of
salts to a tub OF warm water.
Purchase the salts at a wholesale

The unsrateful Brute.

It was a hot day and a picnic had
been arranged for the United Society
of Lady Vegetarians.
They were comfortably seated n
were waiting for the kettle to boil
when. horrors of horrors. a savage
bull appeared on the scene.
Immediately a wild rush was made
for safety, while the raging creature
pounded after one lady who, unfortu-
nately, had a red parasol. BY great
good fortune she hoped over the
stile before it could reach her. Then
regaining her breath, she turned
round.
