Every l?oat or caique lias -two or more Turkish ladles on board. The sight Is n very fine one, ns each private caique is most carefully got up, and the boatmen wear brilliant liveries to match the cushions and the long embroidered cloth which hangs over the stern and trails in the water. The khedtvah of Egypt Is one of the finest. In crimson and gold, embroidered with crowns and lislics. Besides the liveries the parasols make a wonderful show, and here may be seen all the latest Parisian crentlons. The ladles must not speak to men, but the careful observer can frequently catch sight of veils lowered or other signal given when a particular boat is passing, and habitual frequenters can point t out boats which are sometimes close to each other. It is n very Innocent diversion and would not satisfy western ladles. An hour beforo sunset the police boats appear nnd force all women to leave.?London Telegraph. Scotland's Ronnd Towers. Scotland boasts of two round towers, said to be stragglers .from the great typical group found In Ireland. The one Is nttnclied to the handsome cathedral of Brechin and the other stands In iue center or Abcrnethy, near the entrance gate to tlie churchyard. The Brechin tower, built iu six Irregular courses and rising over 100 feet. Is the more perfect of the two. It dates from Kenneth's reign, 071-05, and has n most graceful appearance. Pennant in his history speaks of liaviilg, Jn 1772, found handsome bells within its walls. These were afterward removed and now hang in a neighboring steeple. The origin of these towers is now somewhat doubtful, but archaeologists are generally agreed that they were built In connection with eburebca "for defense and faithfulness of watch" during the Norseman raids. They were afterward used as belfries, the Brechin tower having done duty as such for generations. The tower is now one of the sights of the ancient town and is regarded as a memorial of its early conectlon with Ireland.?Scottish-American. The Changed Grlmslj-.

Neither does be lie In wait and, pouncing upon a hunter, tear him into bloody shreds in de- _ lighted flendlshness, as the old time stories used to tell. The change in the grizzly's disposition is likened by veteran hunters to the change in the character of the white cousin of the grizzly, the polar bear of the arctics. When the stntions for the Hudson.*V?y company were established, the diaries of J the men there often referrmj< .** sons has been I g Jin ^ - -*? " " flawed nnd cbewed to death by polar bears.

How Mr. Mllbarn Flrat Attracted Conffreaalomal Atteatloa. L Visitors to the national capital this . winter hare missed William Henry t Milburn, the blind cbnplnln of the senate. who for half a century has been 1 one of the interesting personalities of the nation's legislative halls. The retirement of the blind chaplain is due to advancing age, Mr. MUhurn having passed his seventy-ninth birthday. Mr. Milburn had the misfortune to lose his left eye when a lad of five. After years of partial blindness the tight left his right eve. leavinsr Mm total darkness, lie is n native of rhiladclphla, but early In life went to Illinois, at that time a part of the western frontier. He himself tells how he became chaplain of congress the first time. On board an Ohio river steamer he chanced to meet some congressmen on their way to Washington. "As several of them," he says, "were known to fame I took great interest In observing them. I cannot say how 'much I was shocked nor hpw indignant I became In discovering that some of them swore outrageously, played cards nnd drnnk whisky." When Sunday morning came, Mr. Mllburn was asked to preach to the ' j BKV. WThBIAlI HXNBT MIL.BTJBW. - * \ < raMMistrg.

It was said that during the prosper- i ous times of the Portuguese iu India you could not have seen a piece of Iron iu any merchant's house, hut all gold and silver. They coined Immense quantities of the precious metals and used to make pieces of workmanship In them for exportation. The very solI 'lor, enriched themselves by commerce. ' Rut then at last came the intprisf..' which celebrated its terrible and deadly rites with more fervor ? "' < iii-iurncu ^ nt (Ioa tlinn in any other place. Religious persecution, pestilence ami wars with the Dutch, disturbances arising from an unsettled government, and, nl?ove all, the slow but sure workings of the shortsighted policy of the Portuguese In interninrrying and Identifying themselves with the Hindoos of tho lowest caste, made her fall ns rapid as her rise was sudden and prodigious. In less than a century and a half after Da Gnmn bad landed on the Indian shore the splendor of (ioa had dejmrted forever. The inhabitants fled lief ore the deadly fever which soon fastened upon the devoted precincts of the city, and In 17o8 the viceroy transferred his headquarters from the ancient capital to Parjlna, about eight miles distant. Soon after**-"-'1 the. religious orders ' "w"u - **"!? magnlfltvere expelled, leaving tin-.. . ent convents and churches nil but at- x erly deserted. and the inquisition was ' v v uppressed upon the recommendation ' f the British government.

Everything around teems vltli melancholy associations, the very ustllngs of the trees and murmur of he waves sound like a dirge for the demrted grandeur of a city. Towering above n mass of ruins a lolltary gateway flanks the entrance o the Strada Dlretta, the Straight itreet, 60 called because almost all tho streets In old Goa are laid out In curvilinear form.

Groves of cocoanut palms find mango topes now Incumber tho ground once covered by troops of horse, rhe wealth, the bnqy life and the luxury of the old place ure dead. Kites and cobras Infest the crumbling halls which once resounded with the banquet and the dance, and naught but a few old monks and nuns keeps vigil amid Its desolation today. But Goa possesses one treasure of great Interest. This is the tomb of Francis Xavler, the great Jesuit missionary to the east. It Is to be found In the Church of Bon Jesus. It is a masterpiece of art which Is lost to all but the casual visitors to old Goa. Some have ventured to suggest that no other mausoleum In India or even In Asia except the Taj Mahal can equal It. It is built of rlelt marble of variegated colors. The lowest stage Is of red and purple Jasper and Carrara alabaster mttli at (i tiinttno nn/1 nltn?*i?Kn u\iui uvu nnu oiuiuvtico mm vuviuuoi The middle stage is of green and yellow Jasper decorated with beautiful bronr.e plates representing Incidents In the life of the snlrit. The highest of the three stages Is surrounded by a lovely railing of red Jasper marked with white spots, the adornments being figures of angels, while Its middle portion is graced with columns elegantly carved, whose intervening spaces are surmounted by arches showing further Incidents In the life of the saint. The friexes of the four lateral columns are of black stone and the plinths of yellow Jnsper. Surmounting this last stage lies the coUlu overlaid with silver, a gorgeous rwepiaviv euaueiusueu wun man.r^ra. quislte specimen^jtfing around com* I'u!?iOfddor 11ment of the shrine. It is a worthy relic of (Ion's departed glo? ry. The bell of the Augustinlnu convent still rings forth its vesper peal above this old city of ghosts, and it is Impassible to forget the effect of the deep, mournful notes as they strike upon the cor. Never was heard a more beautiful or mere sadly musical summons than that which calls in vain from the tower of the Augustinlans to the forsaken and solitary city. It is all summed up in the eloquent * apostrophe of Shercr: "Gon the golden exists no more; Goo, where the aged Da Gnma closed his glorious life; Goo. where the Immortal Catnoens sang and suffered.
