TWO AMERICANS ENJOT THE HOS- PITALITY OF ASIATIC NOMADS. Spending a Night In the. Tent of the Wild Herdsmen—Providing Their Own Meals—Kurdish Women. -T t f WO yonng American stadents, 1 I , Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, I 1 made a bicycle tour around ^ 6 the world immediately after their graduation. During their pas sage through Asiatic Turkey they cel ebrated the Fourth of July by climb ing Mount Ararat—tho first Americana to accomplish the feat. Their coarse lay through the grazing grounds of wild Kurdish herdsman, but they were provided with an escort of soldiers through the influence of a letter from tho Grand Vizir. In the Century they give the following account of a night spent among the nomads: The disk of the sun had already touched the western horizon when we came to the black tents of the Knrdish encampment, which at this time of the dny presented a rather busy scene. The women seemed to be doing all the work, while their lord's sat round on their haunches. Some of the women were engaged in milking the sheep and goats in an inolosure. Others were busy making butter in a chnrn which was nothing more than a skin vessel three feet long, of the shape of a Bra zil nut, suspended from a rude tripod; this they swung to and fro to the tone of a weird Knrdish song. Behind one of the tents, on a primitive weaving machine, some of them were making tent roofing and matting, others still were walking about with a ball of wool in one hand and a distaff in the other, spinning yarn. The flocks stood round about, bleating and lowing, or chew ing their cud in quiet contentment. All seemed very domestic and peace ful except the Kurdish dogs, which set upon us with loud, fierce growls and gnashing teeth. Not so was it with the Knrdish chief, who by this time had finished reading the muteesarif’s message, and who now advanced from his tent with salaams of welcome. As he stood before us in I the glowing sunset, he was a rather tall, bnt well-proportioned man, witU black eyes and dark mustaohe, con- I trasting well with his brown-tanned complexion. Upon his face was the 1 stamp of a rather wild and retiring eharaoter, although treachery and de ceit were by no means wanting. He wore a head-gear that was something between a hat and a turban, and over his baggy Turkish trousers hung a long Persian coat of bright-colored, 1 large-figured olcth, bound at the waist by a belt of cartridges. Across the shoulders was slang a breech-loading Martini rifle, and from his neck dan gled a heavy gold chain, which was probably the spoil of some predatory expedition. A quiet dignity sst on Ismail Deverish’s stalwart form. It was with no little pleasure that we accepted his invitation to a cup of tea. After oar walk of nineteen miles, in which we had ascended from 3000 to 7000 feet, we were in fit condition to appreciate a rest. That Knrdish tent, as far as we were oonoerned, was a veritable palace, although we were almost blinded by the smoke from the 'green pine-branches on the smolder ing fire. We said that the chief in vited ns to a cup of tea; so he did— but we provided the tea; and that, too, not only for our own party, but for half a dozen of the chiefs personal friends. There being only two glasses in the camp, we of coarse had to wait until onr Knrdish acquaintances had quenched their burning thirst. In tbonghtfnl mood we gazed around through the evening twilight. Far away on the western slope we could •se some Kurdish women plodding along under heavy burdens of pine- branches like those that were now fu migating onr eyes and nostrils. Across the hills the Knidish shepherds were driving home their herds and flocks to the tinkling of bells. All this, to ns, was deeply impressive. Bach peaceful scenes, we thought, could never be the haunt of warlike robbers. The flocks at last came home; the shouts of the shepherds ceased; darkness fell; and all was qniet. One by one the lights in the tents broke ont, like the stars above. As the darkness deepened, they (hone more and more brightly •cross the amphitheater of the encampment. The tent in which we were now sitting was oblong in shape, covered with a mixture of goats' and sheep's wool, carded, spun, and woven by the Kur dish women. This testing was all of a dark brown or black color. The various strips were badly joined to gether, allowing the snow and rain, dur ing the stormy night that followed, to penetrate plentifully. A wicker- work fencing, about three feet high, made from the reeds gathered in the swamps of the Araa River, was stretched around the bottom of the tent to keep out the cattle as well as to afford tome little protection from the elements. This same material, of the same width or height, was used to partition off the apartments of the woman. Far from being veiled and shnt np in harems, like their Turkish and Per sian sisters. the Kurdish women come and go among the men, and talk and laugh os they please. The thinness and lowness of tho partition walls did not disturb their astonishing equanim ity. In their relations with the men the women are extremely free. Dur ing the evening we frequently found ourselves surrounded by a concourse of these mountain beauties, who would ■it and stare at ns with their black eyes, call attention to our personal od dities, and laugh among themselves. Now and then their jokes nt our ex pense wonld produce hilarious laughter among the men. The dress of these women consisted of baggy trousers, better described in this country os “divided skirts,'s bright-colored overskirt and tunic, and a little round cloth cap encircle l with a band of red aud blaok. Through the right lobe of the nose was hung a peculiar button-sbape.l ornament studded with precious stones. This picturesque costume well set off their rich olive complexions, and black eyes beneath dark-brown lashes. There were no signs of an approach ing evening meal until we opened onr provision bag, and handed over cer tain articles of raw food to be oooko 1 for us. No sooner were the viands entrusted to ths oars of onr hosts, Uua twe Hi* ef poll ud kettle* node their appearance in the other com partments. In half an hour onr host and frianda proceeded to indnlge their voraeiou* appetites. When onr own meal was brought to as soma time after, we notioed that the foarteen eggs we had doled out hod been re duced to six; and the other materials suffered a similar reduction, the whole thing being so patent as to make their attempt at innocence absurdly lu dicrous. Wo thought, however, if Knrdish highway robbery took no worse form than this, we could well afford to be content. Bupper over, we squatted round a slow-burning fire, on the thick felt mats which served as carpet^ drank tea and smoked the nsnal cigarettes. By the light of the glowing embers ws could watch the faces about ns and catch their horrified glances when reference was made to our intended ascent of Ak-D«gb, the mysterious abode of the jinn. ; Before turning in for the night we reconnoitered onr sitnation. The lights in all ths tents, save our owu, were now extinguished. Not a sound was heard, except the heavy breathing of some of the slumbering animals about ns, or the bark of a dog at so no dis tant encampment. The huge dome ol Ararat, though six to eight miles fur ther np the slope, seemed to be tower ing over ns like some giant monstet of another world. . We oonld not see tho sammit, so far was it above the enveloping clouds. We returned to the tent to find that the zaptiehs had been given the best places and beet- covers to deep in, and that we were expected to accommodate ourselves near the door, wrapped up in an old Kurdish carpet. Policy was evidently a better developed trait of Kurdish character than hospitality. The Sioux Dinner Pot. “There is a very peculiar custom among the Sioux Indians, ” said Eman uel French, of Dismarck, N. D. “The Indians take kindly to European oook- iug utensils and aids to comfort, and it is quite common for an exploring or picnic party to trade off kettles, fry ing pans and the like for skins or cari osities. A cooking nteusil ,thus ac quired becomes practically the com mon property of tho tribe, on tho general understanding, however, that whoever borrows it shall pay for its use by leaving in it a portion of the food cooked. As tho Indians seldom waste any time in washing or cleaning eating or cooking vessels, this prac tice has some conveniences from a red man’s point of view, and often a saucepan is returned with quite a large quantity of meat or potatoes clinging to the bottom, and perhaps covering up some of the remains of a preceding aud entirely different prep aration. “it is not long since that an explor* ing party I was ont with lost its ket tle, which had evidently jolted out of tho wagon on the bad road. After considerable hesitation, one was bor rowed from a friendly squaw, and, after the water had been boiled in it three or four times, and it had been well scoured out with sand, it an swered its purpose admirably. When wo were through with tho kettle, wo thoroughly cleaned it again and returued it, and it was not until an Indian guide explained the custom that we understood tho look of su preme contempt which came over the red lady’s face when, on looking into the inside of the kettle, she saw that it contained no relic whatever of our evening feast.”—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. The Tirol Bow. The Virot bow, either made of wide ribbon or bias silk, is always placed against the back' of the hat, with the jet or rhine stone buckle thst confines it resting its edge on the hair. It re quires an almost inimitable deftness and sorety of touch to make this Frenchy little bow. Tho fashionable ribbon is watered. It requires about a yard to make a stylish Virot bow. The ends of the ribbon should be sewed together into fonr loops, two on either side; the upper ones should be a trifle longer than the lower ones. To tie these together the loops are held firmly in the fingers and the left ou'w are turned over the right ones, form ing a knot in the center, which is either fastened with a buckle or with ornamental stick pins. A frontal bnnch of flowers or a low buckle of rhine stones is usually so placed in front of the hat as to preserve the ar tistic balance when the Virot bow spreads its silken sails at the back. By the way, this pointed efiect of the loops is acquired by drawing the lower edge of each loop tighter than the upper. — New York Advertiser. Valne ef Bled Timber. Incidents! to a series of tests of com parative strength of American timber woods, the Division of Forestry un dertook also daring tho past year an investigation of the much disputed question as to whether the extraction of resin from thf Bonthern pine af fected the timber in any way. «■ In the recently published annual report of the division for 1892 it is annoanoed as a result of thorough and mechanical tests that “it can be stated with abso lute assurance that the prejudice en tertained by architects and builders against bled timber is without basis.

In New Zealand and Australia they have an nnimul which, from all ac counts, cannot be equaled by any other animate or inanimate object upon the earth’s surface. . It is the queerest of the many antipodean won ders and paradoxes, and, for the want of a better name, has been called the “bnllrush eate* pillar” or “vegetable worm.” The m tive Tasmanian name for the oddity is “Aweto-Hotete.” The above ground portion of this veg etable worm is a fungus of the order sphaeris, which grows to a height of six or eight inches. When pulled np by the root, this fungus is found to consist of n large caterpillar, showing head, segments and breathing holes— every detail of the grab being per fectly preserved. On examination of the interior of tho caterpillar it is found to be composed of a “puuky” looking substance, really the root of the fungus, which has cremated every fiber of what was once a living, breath ing creature’s anatomy. In all the in stances which Buokland records, the sphoeria bad made its attack in the fold of skin between the second and tbiid segments of the caterpillar an 1 had replaced all the animal substance of the creature's body with a hard brown vegetable growth resembling the fungoid growths ou blackberry and other vines. —St. Louis Republic Electric Treatment of 1’lants. About thirty years ago an ingenious physician of an inquiring turn of mind was struck with the idea that if elec tricity was good for feeble people, might it not be equally good for feeble plants. A row of evergreens had been put ont on his grounds some time be fore, and it occurred to him that, as there tvos a couple of his best trees in an excoediowly frail state of health, here was a good chance to test hie theory. He accordingly connected a wire from a battery with the root* of one of the trees, tnrned on a very mild current and watched the results. In a short time the leaves, which had be gun to turn yellow, took on a lively shade of green, new shoots started ont, and the tree that had been given up by the gardener as past saving was soon the most flourishing one ef the row, and before long outstripped its fellows iu beauty and luxurisnoe of growth.
