s IXCE the death of Sultan Mul
ley Hassau the Morocco ques¬
tion has become an absorbing
topic of European politics.
The more or less directly interested
powers are watching one another with
an ill-concealed suspicion and anxious¬
ly awaiting developments. The Eng¬
lish want Tangier very badly, for with
that, as it lies directly opposite Gib¬
raltar, they would command tho
Rtraits between Europe and Africa.
.Spain wants it for a naval station
which would bo of utmost importance
to them. Italy wants it because Spain
does, and France will leave no stone
Unturned to secure a firm foothold
there. Their policy is that given
Morocco a railway soon would be
built which would connect the French
possessions in North Africa with those
on the Atlantic, thus uniting all tho
French African colonies in a compact
body.
Should any of tho European powers
pome into possession of Morocco it
Nidi certainly, according to tho Chi¬
cs o Herald, reap a rich harvest, for
«>f nil the north African countrios this
is tho most favored by nature. Map
makers are re ponsiblo for a great

regard to tho size of foreign countries.

pictured the reverse; on this account
an erroneous idea becomes prevalent
that a great many foreign countries
are small, when in reality they are
quito tho reverse. Thoso accustomed
to look upon Arabia, for instance, as
a mere corner of Asia, and represented
by a spot which may easily bo covered
by the palm of the hand, aro apt to
forget that tho scale of the map of
Asia is in most geographies very dif¬
ferent from t hat of the niap-of America.
Were they to consider the scale they
might bo surprisod to find that Arabia
iH ns large ns all of the United States
east of tho Mississippi River. This is
true ydso of Morocco. On the map in
the extreme northwest corner is a very
small spot which marks tho territory
ruled over by tho Sultan of Fez and
Morocco. But small and insignificant
though it be on tho map it neverthe¬
less represents an area of not less than
‘260,000 squaro miles or almost as large
b territory as that of Texas. Morocco
has 250 miles of coast lino ou the
Mediterranean and not less than 750
miles on the Atlantic shore, a most
Respectable stretch for such an insig¬
nificant littlo spot.

A MOUNTAIN PASS IN MOROCCO.
Far from being a desert nud flat as
the prairie lands of Illinois, which
Beems to be the general impression,
Morocco is just the opposite. Of
course there are great stretches of j
sandy plains, but the general char.ac- |
ter of tho country is wildly mountain- J
dus, resembling New Mexico perhaps
more than any other State. The
mountains are iu most parts destitute
of any vegetation and present a scene
of desolation and bareness rather than .
of picturesque is fully grandeur. The climate I !
inlaud in keeping with the
frowning scenery. Nebraska cyclones '
and cloudbursts are not infrequent
and are ns fully as destructive as tbe i
American product. L’hese sudden j
storms mnke the rivers alternately
floods and dry channels. Still the
country is not so destitute of water as
is generally supposed. Abundant
water may be had by digging iu the
numerous called, water courses of wadis, i*s
they are whioh cut the
try in every direction. The atlas
mountain slopes used to, in times
gone by, be covered by splendid
forests, but thanks to the wanton
spoliation lett there remains but very
little of their former extensive
splendor. The Romans otten alluded
to the vast magnificence of the forests

everything to save it from the reck¬
less destruction which, even in those
days, asserted itself.

A MOROCCO HOME.
Nobody has ever been able to ascer¬
tain, oven approximately, the true
figures of the number of inhabitants
which pay allegiance to the Sultan.
They are estimated m round figures
by various authorities as being any
where from 4,500,000 to three times
that number. The first of these sums
is probably nearer to tbe truth than
tho second. Tho people are of several
races, the Moors. Arabs, Berbers,
Jews and Africans forming by far tho
larger portion. Of those the Berbers
are probably tho best element. They
are the aborigines, and, although not
possessing so high degree of civiliza¬
tion—if the term civilization can bo
used at all in Morocco—as some of the
others, they nevertheless have many
good qualities which their follow sub¬
jects of tbe Sultan do not possess.
They inhabit tbo interior, living on
the slopes of the mountains in stone
houses, and are noted for being the
best bricklayers and stonecutters in
North Africa. An exception must,
however, be made of the Berbers on
the Iviff coast, who are of a most
ferocious and piratical disposition.
The Moors are mostly the descendants
of thoso expelled from Spain about the
time of the discovery of America. The
Arabs are looked upon as foreigners,
while the Africans are descendants of
slaves originally brought from Soudan.
Though to all intents and purposes
slavery is supposed to bo abolished,
it nevertheless flourishes here in
Morocco even to-day. The slave
trader in some way or other manages
to get out of the dutches of the law.
which is extremely severe on this
r omt It is safe to assert that the
officials share in nine cases out of ten
with the slave traders, who at times
make no pretense of secrecy, but sell
their human goods openly to the high¬
est bidder. All efforts on the part of
the European powers to stop this hor¬
rible slave hunting have been a total
failure so far as Morocco is concerned.
The slave traders find the thickly set¬
tled region between the Niger and the
Congo a very profitable field for their
operations. .. One „ frequently ± , the
on
great caravan route between Timbnc
too and Fez sees large droves of
wretched slaves. The necks of these
poor creatures are always fastened to
a heavy beam and their hands chained
to a long pole, while the brutal drivers
urge them on with blows and curses,
often putting a bullet through them
if they become too exhausted to walk.
The efforts of the French in Algeria
have been directed to the mitigation
i* not suppression of this slave traffic,
and hostile encounters between the
French native soldiery and the slave
drivers have been more frequent of
late than for several years. There is
always a strong demand and ready
market for slaves in Morocco, and as
long as they pay such good prices for
them as they do at present, there does
not seem to be any immediate relief in
view.
To a stranger there is always a great
deal of interest to be seen in the old
town. The streets are all very narrow
invariably very crookel. Some
of them are scarcely wide enough to
le* a loaded camel pass, and as a beast
laboring under the burden of a heavy
load of hay or other merchandise ap
proaches a narrow turn all the passers
by must squeeze themselves into the
angles of the wall to escape being
trampled under foot.
A wedding procession is always a
treat for a traveler if he chances to
get a view of one. If ot an Arab the
bride will be iu a sort of cage or
square box on tbe back of a camel,
while her trousseau, borne along after
her by slaves, either hired of bor
rowed for the occasion, will be dis
played as publicly as possible for the
admiration of tbe townspeople. One
very curious thing that no traveler
will fall to notice is the large number
of Arabs who at night go to sleep in
every nook and corner in the streets,
Here they are found, wrapped up in
all possible and impossible attitudes,
| sleeping as soundly as if in the most
M
luxurious beds. The Arab seems to
have a knack of adjusting himself to
the requirements of his resting place,
no matter how inconvenient or un¬
comfortable it may be. He will sleep
under all conditions, let them be what
they may.
The Moroccoans have a great pro¬
pensity for religious festivals of all
kinds, and on account of their wild
a &d ^Hd nature they are always of a
f »* attraction *o » stranger. At the
n ei 8nt of political excitement these re
ligious observances are more frequent
than usual. Great bands of howling
ferocious Aissowas roam about
both in the cities and in the interior.
Their ceremonies present an aspect of
ignorant religions fury and savage
barbarity ; they run about shrieking
an( I bowling, cutting themselves, often
quite badly, in their religious frenzy.
They ask as a rule for live sheep from
the populace, and if they get any they
immediately tear the poor animals to
pieces with their teeth and hands,
drinking the blood and devouring the
raw flesh like ravenous beasts, Woe
betide the stranger who, even in Tan¬
gier, under the protection of guns of
the foreign fleets should in any way
make a slighting remark on the ap¬
pearance of these fanatics. More than
likely he would share the fate of a live
sheep in an instant, for the Aissowas
firmly believe that nothing gives them
a olonner passpoit to paradise than to
murder a “Christian dog,” by which
cheerful sobriquet all strangers are
known in Morocco.
There are a few attractive things in
this country, and they are amply off¬
set by a number of, to a traveler, de¬
cidedly unpleasant features, Most
places are overrun with venomous
spiders, centipedes and scorpions.
Poisonous snakes are so numerous that
they scarcely call forth any remarks.
The remedy for snake bites that the
Moors apply seems almost as bad as
the bite. They cauterize the wound
•with fire, and, with an air of the ut¬
most indifference, burn their flesh >'?
the most horrible manner. If a
finds one of his sometimes numerous
boils annoying he simply drives his
dagger through it often running the
risk of cutting an artery. The mail
service offers a vast field for improve
•ment. A traveler will sometimes come
across a postman in the interior; they
are half clad wretches, running over
the hot sand or* climbing the rocky
mountain paths, traveling sometimes
for days without water and food.
They catch a few minutes of sleep at
night, having an ignited*''""' 3 fastened
to their feet which slowly burns, like
a fuse and serves tbe sleeper as an un¬
failing alarm clock. These are a few
features of the country which now
is giving some great European powers
so much concern, But it is not for
the possession of the country for its
own sake that they exhibit all this in¬
terest.
Tho Soiitlidowus.
The Southdown certainly heads the
list of mutton-wool sheep, both from
its acknowledged superiority and from
the fact that it is the parent of pretty
nearly all the other Down breeds.
Bred for many generations in a dis¬
tinct line, they have acquired great
prepotency, and are used for crossing
with our native sheep with good suc¬
cess.
While this breed has been famous
for centuries, it is only within tbe
jjast hundred years that the improve

f without laying nice, to shearing
a9 h R or furnishing as
large a quantity of mutton as some of
the other breeds, it will be conceded
on all hands that for quality oi car¬
cass they are on the top.
The head of the Southdown is small
and hornless and the face brown-gray
in color and neither too short nor too
long. The lips are thin and the space
between the eyes and the nose narrow;
the under jaw is fine and thin, while
the ears are tolerably wide and well cov
ered „ ith ^ ool . the forehead also and
the space between the ears is covered
with wool. The eyes are full and
bright, but not prominent. The neck
is of medium length, thin towards the

head but enlarging towards the
shoulders, where it is broad and high,
but straight in its whole course above
and below.
The breast is wide, deep and pro
jecting forward between the forelegs,
indicating a good constitution and a
disposition to thrive. Corresponding
with this the shoulders should be on a
level with the back and not too wide
above; the back is flat from the
shoulders to the setting on of the tail;
the loin is broad and flat. The wool
should be hort, close, curled and fine,
and free from spiry projecting fibres,
The average fleece should weigh about
four pounds.
The ewes are prolific, make excel¬
lent mothers, and their-lambs are
hardy and vigorous. In' size the South¬
down is above the mesiftun. Next to
the Merino the Sonthd*. is the
most widely known of nil the breed of
sheep in the United, States. They
made a fine showing a* the sheep ex¬
hibit at the Chicago Fair, being rep¬
resented by about or.? hlfudred and
fifty head.—New York Worle.
An Effective- Support for Tret*
Many who set out young trees leavx,
them without protection against tho
wind or the depredatioh of animals.
Others drive down tvr<jA>r more rough
stakes at irregular distances about
m- the trees and tie
au the trunks of the
trees to these with
IP i ^ result a piece that of is cord-a unat
tractive and fre¬
quently injurious to
the trees, because
tbe cord chafes the
tender bark as the
young tree is whip¬
ped by the wind.

stuff, two by two
inches, are driven
at just such distances apart and from
the tree that short pieoes of wood two
by three inches can be inserted be¬
tween the tops, w'here they aro lightly
nailed. A strip of hoop iron is then
nailed firmly around the whole. Tho
tree is held firmly in place by packing
a bit of burlap or even hay into tho
opening at the top. Such a support
is attractive, holds the tree safely,
and will give ample accommodation
for growth until supports cease to be
needed.—New York Tribune.
New York’s New Clearing House.
The new building for the New York
Clearing House,a unique structure for
a unique institution— one of the most
important financial adjuncts in the
world—will be located on Cedar street,
between Broadway and Nassau street,
on a lot recently purchased by the as¬
sociation. Iu this vicinity a square
foot of ground is worth a small for¬
tune, but the clearing house is very
rich and can afford to allow its wprk

less than $800,000 for its luxurious
and handsome home. The beauty of
the building is apparent from the il¬
lustration. The arms of the city,
State and Nation will occupy the
center of the facade, while two statues
will be placed in a niche at either end.
Iu the basement will be the most
complete system of safety vaults in
New York, for which the architect
claims that they are absolutely in¬
vulnerable, To prevent tunneling
through the walls these vaults will
have passage both underneath and
around their sides for hourly inspec¬
tion by watchmen. A grand staircase
will lead from the bottom to the top
of the structure, and a private stair¬
case and elevator will connect the
principal offices of the association on
the second floor with the floor above
and the dome. The “clearing room”
will be on the third floor. This will
include the space under the great
dome, which is sixty feet in diameter,
and the two wings. Back of the dome
will be two stories, which will contain
a fine dining room, janitor’s quarters
and administration office. From the
ground to the apex of the dome will
be a height of eighty-five feet. The

folds with a rosette finishes the waist,
below which two long bands of ribbon
trimming descend to tbe hem of the
seven-gored skirt. The sleeves of the
bodice are of the large leg-o’ mutton
size, with close wrists.
The skirt hangs very gracefully and
lias an organ-pleated back, The ef
feet of tbe bands of ribbon shown in
our picture, terminating in large but¬
terfly bows, is very novel and pretty.
The skirt is made wide at the hem by
the large pleat at the back, All the
summer materials look Avell in this de¬
sign. The foulards, creponettes, cre
pons and the ginghams having a strif
of lace, as well as the cotton batistes,
and the lawns, and the dotted Swiss
muslins, make up beautifully aftsr this
design, but if a more expensive dress
be looked for the new taffetas are
charming in this model. There are
many new cottons which show lovely
colors and designs, and which may also
be cited as suitable to the design above

exquisite violet tints and delicate
greens, the “doe,” fawu and wood
tints are all fashionably worn. Pale
green, light gray, violet and light red
are most worn of all.

are now made with a blouse or basque

the belt need not be over baby-ribbon

JAPANESE GOWNS.
The prettiest thin dresses are the
Japanese ones. All the readers of old
romanceswill remember how the hero
ines always wore pineapple gauzes at
their first balls, and the prettiest
gauzes are those imported direct from
Japan.
One I saw wa3 of white, with a helio¬
trope stripe, and had been brought
over from Japan in a trading ship a
great many years ago. It had been
laid away in an old trunk, whence it
was brought a few weeks since, with a
lot of other treasures, that until now
have been voted mere lumber. The
dressmaker made it up over a helio¬
trope satin slip and low cut waist.
The gauze itself was gored on the hips,
but gathered very full at the back.
The waist was fulled in from shoulders
to belt, and was trimmed with broad
ruffles of the same over the shoulders,
and m jabot fashion down the front
of the waist. The customary belt and
sash finished the gown, which had to
wear with it a broad Leghorn hat,
trimmed with heliotrope gauze the
exact color of the heliotrope atripe.
