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.

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

" 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.
