My washerwoman ' daughterl Oeorge Austin In New Orleans Picayune. Lanilor's Story of Uoroceo. Henry Savage Land or, the young Eng lish painter who is doing so much in his direction to sustain the great name made by his grandfather, Walter Savage Landor, in the direction of letters, tells us that in Morocco the natives run away and hide whenever they see an artist preparing to make sketches. He says that when he first visited that country he one day drew forth his pocket sketch box and innocently began sketching a section of a little bazar street, where upon, much to bis i!::to;:i-!i::i-.:;'. i!. merchants all hurriedly bundled their stocks into large cloth wrappers and scampered away. He subsequently learned that these Moors believe the painter or sculptor who reproduces their bodies invites their souls to occupy his counterfeit presentments. The Moors are said to have many stories of persons who have lost their bouIs by reason of portraits having been made of their bodies. If we could get the ear of the Moors a few moments we believe we could allay their fears by proving to them that it is only here and there a painter or sculptor puts any soul what ever into his work. New York Star. Untimely Rain. "I saw,-' said a friend of mine, "vou had something in about the grangers a week or two ago. I think it very funny. You know when that rainy 6pell came on I was up in the country staying on a ranch. We used to eet the San Francisco papers, of course, every day, and every one of them was whooping up the rain. 'The farmers are now jubilant. This God sent rain means millions of dollars to the state, and the granger gazes over liis fields happy in the pros pect of a big harvest, and all that sort of thing. It used to amuse me," "Why?" "Why? There wasn't a granger within fifty miles or a ranch hand or anybody else who wasn't cursing that blamed rain." "The country needed it." "Yes; but there was to be a big dance in the town, and every mother's 6on and daughter was going to it, and the rain came and knocked it endwise. They'd rather have had the crop ruined than miss that dance." San Francisco Chronicle. Public Readings Pay. What emoluments do public readers receive? They are generally well paid. Mrs. Scott-Siddons, for instance, makes more money than any one else in the profession, and has returned to Europe with $20,000, her.net receipts for a sea son's readings. She receives from 100 to 200 a night. Locke Richardson gets even higher pay. for a course or six readings lie would receive about 1,000. When he reads before one of the clubs he gets from 100 to 200. Sydney Woollett has the same repertoire; he, too, is a very busy man. The demand nowadays is not so much for professional readers as for authors who read from their own works. Cable, for instance, is a great success. He never gives a reading for less than 100. He is in great demand for young ladies' schools and seminaries. Thomas Nelson Page is also a great platform success; he never goes for less than 100. Philadelphia Times. The "Spring FeTer." I have had many people ask me for a remedy for the ills which usually visit the human body in the spring, causing the well known complaint of "spring fever." My experience has been that the best cure for this malady is plenty of healthful and invigorating outdoor exer cise. The most pleasant of these is horse back riding. When one is on a trotting horse, which I prefer, every muscle is brought into play and exercised. There are other outdoor amusements which are equally beneficial. There is one pre valent form of pastime which I consider injurious, and that is bicycling. When one is astride a wheel he is bent forward, and, I am convinced, is placed in a posi tion which has a tendency to contract the chest. This is, of course, exactly the opposite effect to be desired or- expected from outdoor amusements, St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Thousands of Cats. "Wlvn I was living in a steamboat town on the Mississippi," remarked an old man in a barber's shop n few days ago, "then was a fellow who put up a very neat job on tho inhabitants, against whom be must have had a terrible grudgv. He came into the town one day and dis tributed band bills right and left, taking special pains to put as many us possible into the hands of farmers who come to sell their' grain. That was beforo tho railroads came- to take business away from tho river towns, oomo of which had an immense trade. "Tho place I was in had 5,000 or 0,000 inhabitants, and was the shipping jKrt for all tho grain raised for miles around, as well as the place where the farmers obtained all their supplies. Tito last time I was there it had dwindled down to a village of 2,000, and perhaps by this time it has no existence at all, even on the map. These bills that were so freely scattered about stated that the advertiser had a contract with a certain steamboat company for furnishing a large nuuilx-r of cats to destroy the rats and mice that were very numerous about the ware houses at different landings along the river. He therefore offered $3 for eacli full grown torn cat, 2 for each healthy female puss, and 50 cents a head for kit tens old enough to get their own living. All tne cats were to bo delivered at a certain place in the town on a Thursday evening the flight that a particular "Weil, that TliuroUay i-iiciiiwu caiiiu and all the streets of the town were just crowded with people. They came in wagons, on foot, and on horseback, and every person carried a Back, some of them several By evening between 3,000 and 4,000 cats had been brought into that defenseless city. They were left in and and about a vacant building near the landing. Tho man who was to purchase tho cats was nowhere in sight. The country people were making inquiries for him everywhere. A crowd of boys, attracted by the caterwauling, went into tho building and began amnaing them selves by untying the bags and letting out the cats. Of course the cats began fighting and raised a noise liko 10,000 demons. "Suddenly a stampede occurred and the animals rushed pell incll into the crowd, crawling over people, jumping and fighting, and climbing walls and roofs in a mad race for liberty. The loys took.after the cats, and the men joined in, determined to rid the town of tho feline invaders. The next morning there was a good many stray cats seen about iu back yards, and a good many dead ones lying in the streets and alleys. One ixatman said he counted 400 dead cats in the river. Tho man who perpetrated the joke was never again seen in the place, luckily for him." Pittsburg Dis patch. A Wonderful Tribe. A remarkable story is told in a recent issue of The Paris Societe de Geographic records. M. Camillo Douls recounts the experience lie underwent in a journey. in northwestern Africa. Disguised as a native, it appears, he landed on the west coast near Cape Garnet, several hundred miles south of Morocco, pretending to the people of that region that he had een slupwrecked. At first he was roughly dealt with; but finally he gained the confidence of his captors, and, after five montlis' wanderings, by dint of craft he made his way to Morocco. Here his disguise was discovered, and he was Jirown into prison to bo released pres ently at the instigation of tho British minister. The adventures recorded Ol'o of inter est, as they give a new version to the popular story of tho great desert. Tho Oulad Delini, into whose hands M. Douls fell, ho says, are unusually intelligent. They speak a pure Arabic, founded upon the constant study of the Koran. They are monogamous, and treat their wives with the greatest affection and respect a3 equals of the men. The girls share the education of the boys, learning to read and write with them; hence, the women show an intellectual and moral elevation far beyond that of any other Moslem women.
