THE BLIND OF CAIRO.
To Be Found Everywhere In the Shops
and on the Streets.
The first thing that impresses the
stranger in Cairo is the number of
blind men, women and children to be
found everywhere in the shops aiul on
the streets. Ophthalmia is very preva
lent throughout Egypt. Because of su
perstition concerning "tho evil eye"
the native mothers of the middle or
the lower class do not wash the eyes
of their babies at all. Watching the
files buzzing unheeded around and
upon these blind children, a stranger
hastens to buy a fly whisk. These are
for sale everywhere and are quite at
tractive with their ornaments of fancy
beads and palm leaf fiber. Blind beg
gars greet one at every corner. Even
In the high class Egyptian families
there are many blind. The lower
classes of Egyptians are given much
to hasheesh that Is, the lower classes
In the large cities and, although it is
against the law to sell It, one will have
the hasheesh places pointed out, and
the men who smoke the drug are seeu
everywhere. They are distinguished
by the peculiar appearance of their
eyes, which become red, swollen and
baggy underneath, and by the peculiar
color of the skin, which resembles
somewhat the skin of a Chinese opium
smoker. Harriet Qulmby In Leslie's

A LOST CONTRACT.
The Little Thing That May 8ometimes
Prevent a 8ale.
A pen once lost me an order. I had
Just worked up the executive of a
large coucern Into a desire to buy. I
had my contract form lying on his
desk with my linger on the dotted line.
Ho reached over toward his pen rack,
took off a pen and plunged It into the
Ink well. lie turned to me with a frown
on his face the well was empty.
I was ready with' a fountain pen.
The pen was uncapped. I handed It to
him. lie started to write. The Ink
would not flow. I took It and shook it.
Again he made the attempt, with no
result.
"I will get one," he said. So he
stepped Into the otl2r room. Evidently
some one stopped him with a question,
for h did not come back for three
minutes. Thou he stood at his desk.
He looked down ut tho contract.
"I believe I had better think thin
matter over again," he said. And all
the talk I put up could not budge him.
I had lost a sale because my fountain
IMJii was empty. Now. one of my regu
lar morning duties, week in and week
out, Just aH regular as my shave and
my cheeking over of calls to be made
and the making out of my expense ac
count, Is filling my fountain pen.
