Ii U i nuv PILLS HBH lc!l SS EGYPTJbVAT HAEEM JjIFE. An American "SVomnn Views be hind the Curtain. You ask if there is any home-life in Kcvpt, that old, old land of science, legend, and superstition ; of sensuous coloring, of semi-barbaric splendor, of Isis, and Osiris, of Cleopatra, the magnificent, and the mysterious pyramids is there any home-life there? No, certainly not, as we understand it. Of course the people there must cat, drink, and sleep in obedience to the inexorable laws of our common humanity, but there can be no domestic life where there is no woman at the head of the household, and the Egyptian women are mere nullities. There is no middle class, so that they are divided into the two class extremes of hisrh and low. The high life is that of the hareem, as they call it, and not harem, and is much "better known throughout Eu rope than that of the lower class Egyptian women. During my resi dence in Cairo I was frequently ad milted to the hareem on the invitation of the mother of the Viceroy of Egypt, Ismail Pasiia, father of the present pasha. Ismail was the vice roy, or second in distinction to the sultan of Egypt. The pasha was so afraid of being poisoned that his mother cooked all he ate, and for that purpose she accompanied him wher ever he went. Poisoning is the favorite method in that country in getting rid of an obnoxious person. It is much more speedy and infinitely less expensive than a State trial. With the excep tion of the viceroy's mother, I never knew a woman of high position to know anything at all of the culinary art. I used often to spend a whole day in the harem, and never saw any of the women doing anything useful. They are very seldom taught to read or write. Conversation is generally carried on with a foreigner in 1 rench , through the aid of an interpreter. I soon picked up Arabic enough to converse with them without aid. They live in great splendor and total idleness. They have no pictutes in their palaces, and possess no foreign or native literature. They never sew or even embroider, and their only recreation consists in seeing girls dance and in listening to some bar baric music, or to stories told them by an old woman in true Arabian Nights' style. The Egyptian women are fully "developed at the ace of thirteen, and old at thirty. Their forms are usually most exquisite until fat, that bane of both men and women in high life, destroys the delicate beauty of their outline. The upper portion of their faces, eyes, brows, and forehead are wondrously lovely; but the lower part, below the nose, is ugh', badly formed, and heavv, as a" rule. "Fortunately for I them, they are enabled to conceal these defects by the veil they wear. So far from being discontented with their lot, the women m i'-gvpt have the utmost pity for their civilized sisters, especially in matters of the heart. They say, our husbands can care nothing for us, or they would not allow other men to look upon our faces, and think that civilized women possess no modesty, to go unveiled. To amuse them I told them once of the great surplus of female popula tion in the New England States largely maiden and of the struggles so many of our girls there and else where are obliged to undergo in order to earn their own living. They laughingly quoted a proverb answer ing to ours of half a loaf being better than no bread at all, and declared that the fractional possession of a husband was better than no husband at all. They were much surprised, even indignant, that we should call ourselves civilized and yet make laws compelling a rich man to have but one wife, when he might maintain fifty or more, and so husbands and support for our hard-working, single women would be provided. As the men do the cooking and the main part of tho sewing in Egypt, it is easy to see why there is no em ployment for women. Except in rare cases, their intelligence does not exceed that of an American child ten or twelve years of age. There fore, the men, although themselves not much superior, still have hardly any respect for them, and, as there is little of the sentiment of love among them, they seem to look upon their women only as indispensable adjuncts of the continuance of the race. Let me describe a dinner in the harem when a guest is present. Their tables are always circular and about a foot and a half in height. They sit like dolls around them on cushions. The old, inactive, and fat, once down, have to be pulled up. They serve but one dish at a time, and that in a large, circular salver of silver, brass, or sometimes gold. They have no forks, knives, or spoons, but each dips two fingers of the right hand into the dish and takes out a bit, the meat having been cut into small pieces in the kitchen. If they wish to particularly dis tinguish a visitor, theyselecta dainty piece and place it in her mouth. It would be an insult to betray any feeling but delight at such a mark of favor. A great dish for a feast, and one which few Christian women have ever tasted, is that of a lamb roasted whole. After the manner of a nest of Chinese boxes, each smaller than the other, the lamb is stuffed with a whole turkey, the turkey with a chicken, the chicken with a pigeon, the pigeon with a, quail, the quail with a becatica, the smallest bird known except the humming-bird. It resembles our reed-bird in taste, and makes just a mouthful. The lamb is roasted over a slow fire until it is cooked to shreds and melts into one, as it were. The Egyptians have no systematized way of eating, no set time for meals, but keep up a con tinual munching of sweets, of which they have a great variety unknown to us, and all sickeningly sweet to a European palate. They use honey for sugar. In an Egyptian kitchen there is a total absence of what a civilized cook would consider indis pensable in the way of cooking utensils and appliances. There is no dresser upon which to arrange the dishes ; there is no sink nor running water, nor anything like our cooking stove or range, but upon one side of the kitchen there is erected a struct ure of masonry which resembles a great square shelf with deep drawers, the openings to which aro on the top. This queer object is the Egyptian range the openings are charcoal furnaces, and as they are discon nected a cook can have a dozen fires, or only one, as he desires. I have often been astonished at the excel lence and delicacy of a dinner cooked upon one of these rude ranges. New York Star. He Remembered. "And you pretend to say," re marked a lawyer to a witness, that you remember the exact words this man said to 3'ou ten years ago?" "I do." " Well, if my memory serves me, I met you at Saratoga about fiye years ago, and I should like to know if you can swear to any expression which I then made." "I can." "Now, Sir. J., I want you to re member that you are under oath. Now, under oath, you swear that you can quote with great accuracy a remark 1 made to you at Saratoga five vearsago?" "lean." "Well, what was it?" "You met me in the hotel corri dor." "Yes, quite correct." "And vou shook hands with me." "Naturally I did." "And you said to me: 'Let's go and take something.' " The crier of the court had to call silence for ten minutes, and the lawyer confessed that the witness had :i remarkable meraor Boston Journal. " Here," said Peterson, entering a store and throwing down a very gaudy red and black striped suit, " take this thing back ; I don't want it." "But we don't take back bathing suits after we have sold them once." 'I don't care ; vou mav have this one, I don't want it." "What's the matter with it?" "Why, I was swimming in it off Long Branch, and a whole fleet of yachts took me for a buoy and rounded me. I don't want any more of that." Puck. A '-r: York Sunday-school teacher tola h?r pupils that when they put their pennies into the contribution box she wanted each one to repeat a Bible verse suitable for the occa sion. The first boy dropped in his tent, savinc: "The Lord lOveth a cheerful giver." The next boy dropped his penny into the box, say ing: "lie that giveth to the poor leiideth to the Lord." The third and youngest boy dropped in his penny, saying: "A fool and hia money are soon parted." Detroit Journal.
