InAn Arab Cemetery.
The soft, pleading eyes of our Arab sisters
looking at us over the ugly, disfiguring ad -
jar, or piece of white cloth bound across
their faces, made us eager to see if the other
features were pretty as the eyes promised,
says a writer in the Youth's Companion,
"Go to the Arab cemetery on Friday
afternoon, and you can see plenty of unveil-
ed women," said a friend familiar with Al-
giers. "That is the only time and place
allowed them by the prophet to show their
faces in public.
Thehe
n n aro supposed t o spend those
e P
sacred hours at the mosque, and are jealous-
ly excludedfrom the eemetcry. The Moham-
medan faith forbids any woman under sixty
years of age to attend mosque; no bunchy,
betrousered Arab beauty ever seems to
reach that respectable age, so they all troup
to the cemetery instead. They believe the
spirits of the dead return on Fridays to
hover overtheir graves."
We gained the procession of cabs and
shambling vehicles called coricolos rattling
and pounding out to the cemetery of Sidi.
Abd er Rahman. The coricolo is drawn by
three or four gray horses abreast; jaded,
lean, sorry looking brutes, but many of
them of real Arabian blood, which shows in
their spend, gentleness and endurance.
Before entering the holy enclosure, we
watched a few of the corieolos deposito their
loads. From one, a patriarchal old servant,
in a. coat like a short nightgown made of
crazy patchwork, alighted first setting a
big covered basket in the road.
His turban, wound round with yards upon
yards of slender rope looked as if it had
not been disturbed for years ; his trousers,
in bags to his knees, had a vast wealth of
seat which hung down flapping against his
bare black shanks, on which the skin was
withered and puckered like that on the legs
of an old turkey.
After helping his baggy mistress to de-
scend together with the younger women of
her household,—like so many big pillows,
little pillows, and bolsters,—the old man
discreetly withdrew.
There were many light footed damsels in
snuffcolored stockings and neat black slip.
pars, their bluish white trousers neither
limp nor stiff, thanks to the right touch of
starch. Here and there we have a glimpse
of a gold tassel, girdle or necklet, but in
the street all these ornaments are expected
to be hidden in the folds of the haik, the
sheet like shawl with which the woman
drape themselves like ghosts.
Inside the gate, one is ready to believe
that the dead have indeed arisen from their
graves.
At each headstone sits a figure, motion-
less and silent as ghosts should be, and
clothed in wl_ite from head to foot. The
grass is rank and rough, the ground honey-
combed with unsightly holes and hollows.
There are no remarkable monuments, no
flowers. Colored tiles here and there on
the tombstones are the only ornament to
the dreary place, except its surrounding
hedge of pricklypear and blue spiked aloes.
The scene gradually changes; many a
sheeted ghost begins fumbling about in her
rapery far her cigarette case ; veils :,reun-
bound from the faces of old and young•, and
the heavy silence is broken. The tinkling
of countless bangles, anklets and earrings
makes afaint, fairy like music.
A pretty little girl, dressed like the wo-
men, except that her haik is striped with
colors, comes dancing up to us as soon as the
.tdjar has been unbound from her poor little
nose. She speaks a little French, and tells
us her name is Ayesha, and that she is eight
years old.
Her curly hair is stained a beautiful
bronze -brown tint with henna, and her eye-
brows are blackened till they meet in one
line across her forehead. Dozens of copper
bangles clash and flash on her pretty brown
arms and ankles, and as she frisks about,
happy as a young kid, her balloon-liketrou-
sera fiap to and fro with an effect indescrib-
ably funny.
In a quie.er way, the women seem happy
as Ayesha, in spite of their depressing play-
ground.
Haiks, the best silk -striped ones for this
favorite holiday, are spread out over con-
veniently flat tombs for table cloths ; bas-
kets are opened and dainties spread out
temptingly.
Smaller gravestones serve for seats, and a
merry chatter goes on over the confection-
ery, pastry and cigarettes.
We now have opportunity 'to study the
women's faces, and we decide that wearing
the adjar is ,not such a had idea, after all.
With very few exceptions, their eyes are
their only good feature; their noses and
months are course, and their complexions
pasty and colorless. Their noses seem flat-
tened by the constant pressure of the muslin
baud, thin as it often is.
At sunset the henna -stained and raven -
black hair is hidden under the white shawls,
the adjars are tightly ties on again, and the
troop vanishes till the next Friday.
Getting Married in Paris.
Saturday is the marrying day of the.
Parisianonvrier. Itis an economical arrange-
ment It gives Pierre two whole days for
celebrating, with a loss of but 'one in the
shop- He is obliged to take advantage of
a]r such devices for, do hisbest, marrying is
expensive business in Paris.
Before Pierre can with safety select his
particular Saturday be has a multitude of
civil and religious requirements to see to
Neitlea. he nor Lizette can think of snch a
thing as marrying without the consent of
their families. If father, mother and grand-
parents are dead, a family council meet be
called of the nearest living relatives to con-
eider the case and give or witdiolcl permis-
sion. If it is refused to Pierre, and the is
under 25, or to Lizette, and she is under 21,
the marriage cannot go on, If they ars over
those ages they can summon the recalcitrant
relatives three times, atintervals'of a month
each, before a notary to give consent, If
after the third summons, the permission is
still withheld, at the end fourth month,
they may marry. That is, they may after
the proper publications have been made and
necessary documents taken met.
The Care of Ohildren. r.=
There are few ways in which inany other-:
wise sensible people show so little judgment
as in romping and general play with little
children. It is not an uncommon thing for
a strong man to toss, a helpless little infant
in the air till it tremble with excitement.
Now as a matter of fact, the nervous Sys-
tem of a child is a very delicate organism.
Till the child is two or three years old it is
exceedingly liable to diseases of the nerves
and brain. It is impossible to tell how often
fatal illness may be traced to the foolish
fondness of some relative who insists on
making the little one "notice." Doubtless
every physician knows of at least several
such cases. An able practitioner, in discus-
sing this question recently, while he urged
a young mother tokeep her child as quiet
"
as possible, said .I have an especially sad
case at present, due to following an exa:tly
opposite course. A little one, a year old,
who is an only child and only grand-
child, is lying at the point of death with
brain fever. I do not think it possible for
it to get well, but if it does, the parents and
grandparents will have learned a :lesson they
will not forget. The grandfather was in the
habit of tossing the child up every night
after he calve home, and the whole family
watched it, themselves amused, while it
was trembling with excitement, and never
realized the danger until one uighe it went
into spasms."
Very little children should be allowed. to
sleep as much as possible, and older child-
ren should lead as quiet, even, monotonous
lives as possible. For this reason a nurse
a
girl of an amiable, exon slightly phlegmatic,
temperament is preferred to a nervous and
more energetic person. Such a girl will
easily learn to follow the routine necessary
in the care of little children. She will not
hurry and bustle about, and there is no
need of this. Children should not be hur-
ried. When a child is old enough to go to
schcal, it is time enough for it to learn that
time is valuable. While it is little let it
developslowly and naturally, expanding its
life as deliberately as the rose or lily un-
folds its buds.
NOT SO GREEN AS HE APPEARED.
Kew a Boy Ontwitied the Famous Irish
Highwayman.
Redmond O'Hanlon, the most noted of
the Irish brigands, after distinguishing him
self through the most daring deeds, met his
vanquisher at last in a shop -keeper's ap-
prentice.
This youth'a master, having to receive a
geed round sum of phoney fit Newry, was
afraid to risk an encounter with Redmond
or some of his gang on his return to Dundee,
his native town.
In his perplexity his apprentice, 16 years
of age, offered his services, which after some
hesitation were accepted.
The youth, iii the words of Mr. Cosgrove,
author of the " Irish Rogues and Rapper-
ess," went to the field and brought home an
old vicious screw (Hutch of the same humor
with Sir Teague O'Reagan's war horse, on
which be rode out to meet Duke Schomberg,
after the surrender of Cherlemoat), that
when any other citrate up to meet him on the
road he always strove to bite or kiek him,
by which means he commonly keptthe road
to himself.
As he wended on his way he was over-
taken by a well-dressed gentleman, with
whom he freely entered into discourse, mak-
ing no secret of his business, or of his ex-
pectation of being about the same place on
his return to -morrow with I;100 in his pos-
session.
" I wonder," said his fellow -traveler,
" you are so free in your communications
with strangers ; how can you tell but that I
may be Redmond O'Hanlon or one of his
gang?"
" 0, 0 !" said the boy, bursting out laugh-
ing, " such a nice -looking gentleman as ynu
to be a robber! Do you think I haven't
eyes ?"
" Well, at all events, I advise you to be
more discreet. Redmond is famous at dis-
guises, and will __ppin you if he gets wind of
your business, Heres a crown for ynu to
drink' my health, but keep a bridle on your
tongue."
Thegratefulyouth, sobering at once, made
the promise.
And evexi as the boy expected, the gentle-
man overtook him as he was returning next
day, and conversation was resumed.
' Well, my boy, 1 suppose from your
looks you have not inet with any bad com-
pany, and your money is safe ?"
"Indeed it is, sir; many thanks for your
good advice."
" How are you carrying it?"
"In two ends of this thick wallet."
"Dear mel I would like to feel the weight
of it out of curiosity,"and he approached but
the horse lashed out, and he was obliged to
keep his distance. •
"Throw over that.wallet," he said, rather
sternly for such a nice -looking gentleman.
"0, sir, honey, sure you wouldn't rob me!
What would the master say?"
" I don't know, but this is what 1 say: If
you don't surrender it at once I will seud a
bullet through you, and another through
your garran."
"I promised my master not to lot myself
be robbed till I was in danger of my life.
Here is the money; but you must take the
trouble of crossing the ditch for it."
So saying, be heaved the bag across the
slough that bordered the road and the
hedge beyond it into the next field. This
annoyed the highwayman, but, judging the
prize worth the trouble, he dismounted,
scrambled over the dike and .fence higher
up, and laid hands on the bag.
Hearing a clatter he raised his head and,
Iooking over the fence, saw. the innocent
youth making the road to Dundalk short
on his own (Redmond's) good steed, and the
vicious beast prancing about on the road
and longing for some one to let fly at.
He was enraged for being so taken in,
but much more when he found the two ends
of the precious wallet containing nothing
more valuable than the copper half -pence
of the time.
Tho boy arrived safe in Dundalk with the
100 guineas quilted into his waistcoat.
After many escapades from armed foes
and from prisons, O'Hanlon was treacher-
ouslykilled bybrother his own tester b r r tier far
the sake of the reward—an almost unpre-
cedented crime in this country.
God is not hard to please when we set

CHASED BY MOUNTAIN LIONS.
An 11ixeiting Adventure W the i'alley,01
Tongue ;River.
In the summer of 1870 two young men,
brothers, by the name of 13runing,'. Louis
and Rudolf, resolved upon: spending the
winter trapping in ' the valley of Tongue.
River, on the frontier. of Wyoming and
Montana. Accordingly, supplying thein•
selves with the necessary pack -horse outfit,
they left Sioux City, Iowa,' late iii Septem-
ber, following up the Niobrara River to its
sources near Powder River buttes. Thence;
crossing over a narrow watershed, ;:they
struck the �aUey cf Powder River, `down
which they continued some forty or fifty
miles, writes a contributor for the, Chicago
Later Ocean. There the left the main val.
ley to follow up a small tributary to its
head in what is known as the Panther
Mountains. Crossing the, back of these
inountains they struck tate course of Rob-
bins Creek, an affluent of Tongue River,
down which they continued to its mouth at
the foot of Tongue River Canyon, the scene,
not far from this date, of a desperate battle
with the Sioux Indians. There the river
emerges from the lofty and precipitous
walls of the mountains to continue its soli-
tary flow to the turbid Yellowstone.
They at once set about getting ready for
the winter's business. Tee dwelling which
they constructed was partly dugout' and
partly cabin—that is, a portion of the front
was logs. It was against the side of a per-
pendicular bluff on the north side of the
creek and close to the river. The valley
here was all on the northwest or loft shore
of the river, but like all these streams it
alternated with every crook in the channel.
Along alt the streams of this region the
beaver and otter abound. Besides these;
smaller species of the weasel family are
numerous, and the beautiful silver fox is
not infrequently caught. Of larger game,
while the bison have measurably disap-
peared, the antelope, black -tailed deer and
the elk, or moose, feed in the foothills of
the mountains. Of dangerous game, such
bears, grizzly and cinnamon, and wolves,
there is no scarcity. Tho mountains them-
selves hereabout were named because they
were the favorite habitation of numbers of
mountain lions, or panthers, which latter
name they received from Bridger, the farn-
ous scout, and such as he --men from the
mountains of Virginia, whore similar beasts
bore that mime.
During the months of November and De -
comber they had remarkable success in
trapping otter and beaver. They were con-
gratulating themselves upon a season that
should surpass anything in their father's
experience. But on Christmas eve a cold
wave sot in with terrible severity. That
night the surface of the river froze as solid
as granite and as smooth as glass. This
weather lasted for several days, so that the
brothers were fearful to venture to any
great distance from the dugout. Conse.
quently only the traps in the immediate
vicinity were visited.
White they were thus confined within
doors they whiled away the time making a
pair of skates apiece from the antlers of the
elks they had killed. They made them very
strong, albeit not so artistically, perhaps,
as the products of the East. They wore
first-class skates, however, and answered to
their complete satisfaction. They tried
them thoroughly on the ice in front of the
clugn.ut, chasing each other and ruing on
the long reach of smoothice below the can-
yon.
Tho first morning that promised afair day
Louis, the elder brother, concluded to visit
the traps set along through the canyon.
Accordingly, strapping on his skates, he
started up the river, armed with his revol-
ver. "I'll be back by the middle of the
afternoon," he remarked to Rudolf, " and
you have waren dinner randy if you'till."
"All right," replied Rudolf, "tbo dinner
shall be ready."
Louis pursued his way up the river, not
intending to make any stop until hereached
the last trap, his intention being to examine
as he returned. It was a glorious trip.
Past headland and cape he glided, often
under the shadows of crevice -anchored
cedars and pines. Occasionally he stopped
under a frowning shelf of granite to count
the mud -built nests of the suminer martins,
which were nunerous in all such places.
He kept an eye open for large and dangerous
game ; but he saw none, save once a huge
grizzly sitting motionless on the edge of a
precipice, evidently observing his proficiency
as a skater. Louis, for sport's sake, empti-
ed a chamber of his revolver in the direction
of shaggy bruin. At oue point in the canyon.
the cuffs nearly met overhead, making a
partial twilight. Only at one point was the
ice rough, that was a short ral,id, but even
here it was smooth inshore. The bracing
cold added strength and vigor to his limbs,
and he was frequently surprised at the ease
with which lie shot over the transparent
surface.
It was fully seven miles to the last trap, in
which he.fonnd a marten. Thence • he pro-
ceeded leisurely on his return. He had ex-
cellent luck, although from several of the
traps he found that the game had been torn
out and eaten. He laid this to the account
of the wolverine, an animal of thievish pro.
pensities, having some days before shot ono
in the very act of rol:bing a trap. Game,
however, was becoming scarce for the larger
animate, and they had already driven off
lions that were hanging around the dugout,
attracted by the sme 1 of the flavored car-
casses of the game.
While thus leisurely skating lie was
startled by a shrill cry up the river. It
sounded piercingly down the trough of the
canyon. Helistened intently. The scream
was answered from a neighboring gorge.
"Bah!" said Louis to himself, "it is only a
cowardly mountain lion." Nevertheless he
involuntarily quickened his pace. He had
just emerged from the examination of a trap
in a side canyon, when he gave a glance up
the river and beheld what sent the blood
tingling to the ends of his fingers. Not
more than 200 yards away were three enor-
mous mountain lions, with hair all on end,
their long, black -tipped tails apparently
twice their natural size, and which they
woes brandishingfrom side to side. They
were evidently enraged, though at what
Louis could not conceive. He felt appre-
hensive, however, and increased his speed.
The lions uttered a tremendous caterwaul
and trotted a good gait after him. " The
brutes 1" ejaculated Louis. Turning, he
skated a few yards towards them to steady
his aim end Erect his revolver at the nearest.
The distance was too great- The bullets
either fell abortor went to one side, all ex-
cept the last one, which struck the im-
mense cat squarely in the side, tearing his
skin, but not crippling him in the least.. The.
beasts had checked themselves when Louis
eioned, and seemed bewildered by the re-
r,.,rts of the, revolver. The wounded lion,
owever, snapped at his side once er twice,
then seeping to divine whence came the
wound, gave a fearful yell, and, followed.by
the' others, made at full speed after Louis,
who was now striking out for hemp with all
his might. He bent over his skates and did
his .uttermost. But on a straight reach the.
beasts gained on hint, although they could
not turn inthe sharp/ the river like
bends c f t
the skates. Nevertheless they gained time,
and Louis was constrained to drop a mart n
on the ice, hoping thereby to gain time, It
did indeed assist, as the brutes did their
best to stop. The momentum had carried
them so far beyond the game that instead of
going back they continued the pursuit. The
result seriously. alarmed the young man,
who now. dropped all his, game; but the
lions wore determined not to be balked of
their 'peeye Thee: revolver in its holster
flopping against his thigh impeded
Louis somewhat, and lie unbuckled the belt
and dropped it on the ice. All this assisted,
and his hopes arose. He w. -as now less than
two miles from the dugout. He had passed
the rough rapids safely, over which the lions
stumbled,; apparently helpless. Bub they
gathered themselves up with surprising
quickness. It was not long before Louis
heard their amazingleaps with fearful dis-
tinctness. Then he commenceda series of
rnanceuvers on which his very life depended.
Skating with all his power along one shorn,
he would suddenly turn and shoot over to
the other bank, while the lions, unable to
check themselves or turn, would rake along
the edge of the ice, catching at everything
within reach. He had repeated this move
more than once when the mouth of Robbins
Creek came in sight and the doorof the dug-
out. To the opposite side of the river he
shot for dear lite, the lions now close upon
him. Timing himself with wonderful judg-
ment he turned just in the nick of time,
leaped upon the low bank, the momentum
carrying him the half dozen steps to the
door, through which lie fell at full'length on
the floor.
"Bar the door !" he gasped to Rudolf.
That young man, though immediately sur-
prised, obeyed the command and dropped
the heavy bar into its fastenings. Scarcely
was this accomplished when a heavy body
struck the door with a thud thet thoroughly
tried its strength. A moment afterward
the greased paper which served as a win-
dow was torn away from the aperture hi the
door and the square, cruel: jaws of a mount-
ain lion were thrust through. Rudolph
grasped the situauion, and seizing his car-
bine, discharged the contents full in the
savage face. It was effective. Tho lion
fell in the struggles of death, but the open-
ing the
in was ':lad bysecond, onlyto m h
ha e
same fate. Te third, whih was the
wounded cue, gave up the effort and was
making off, when Louis, who had regained
his breath and his feet, grasping his car-
bine, by a lucky shot shattered the spine at
the neck. Over the bodies of the lions, as
they took off the pelts, Louis related the
thrilling race,

above or an old one to disappear beneath the
waves of the Pacific Ocean. Such occurrenc-
es were sometimes noted as often as two or
three times a year, and it were so common
as to hardly excite comment among naviga-
