BARBARA, ANNIE ROBERTSON NOXON. “ Was there any mail, Eben?” And leaning over the little wicket gate, her dark locks taling about her in pretty, careless tresses, Barbara jooked wistfully down the shady street and then up at the tossing elms, where the busy birds were chattering. And sad to relate a frown of discontent crept over Bar- bara’s low, white brow. No, there were no letters for the Lelghtons,” ben, in rather a savage mood. <1 mae especial Inquiries for you,” and Eben’s lower lip trembled a little, and his voice softened wonderfully for him. “{ suppose you are anxious to get away from the oid place, Miss Barbara?” «Yes, Lam,” said Miss Leighton sharply.with an hnperial air. “Tam sic should | be glad to go anywhere away from here.” Eben made no reply.

He was now ind ed haggard and ghostly pale, with an ugly and ni rveles+fon the coverlet.

Onan expedition I undertook last summer Into the interior of Yemen proper, in order to ‘study the history and literature of the Yemen- ire Jews, as well as to collect as many of their Most interesting manuscripts as possible, I was enabled to take some notes of the generat character of the surface of tbis classical land— the Seba and Theman of the Bibie, Arabia Felix | Root of the Romans, well known to the old worl but nowadays a ferra obscura, although a small art of the southeastern corner belongs to the Epelish crown—and to use the barometer and thermometer In the valleys and mountains dur- ing my four months’ traveling in that moun- tainous land, passing some of the most savage and fanatical tribes. Yemen proper fs rightly called Arabia Felix. It is the most fertile and the most temperate | country on this side of Asia,owing Its happiness chiefly to the absence of the great curse of Syria, Arabia, and north and central Africa, the Shu- mum winds (destruction), which are called to Syria “Shuroccow” (east), ‘and in Egypt. “fHam- sin” (fifty.)

In the valleys and the narrow chain of mountains, all alouz the southern side cf Yemen,from Babel Mandad as far as Aden, such a wind ts unknown, and even in the plain near the western coast of the Red Sea.

There fs less rain In the lower parts, somewhat more in the western valleys, very little southward, and nearly none in the valleys east of the mountains of Yemen. The elevated mountains make the climate temperate and healthy. Yemen has an area of about 50,008 miles, more than half of which longs to a serles of plateaus from 4,000 to $,500 Teet above the level of the sea, and not reckon- ing the eastern side on the slope of the moun- tuns toward the land of Hadhramaut, which, if reports are true (I gathered the best I could), must be very bare, and inhabited only | by nomad Bedouin tribes, Mohammedans as well as Jews. The boundary line of Yemen Is as follows Western side, along the eastefn side of the Ret Sea, from Babel Mandab south to Lohaya north; then north side, from Lohaya norihwest to Saada northeast; then from Saada northeast to Aden southeast; then from Aden southeast | to Babel Mandab southwest, so that It forms an oblong square of about 110 to 150 miles wide | and 450 Jong.
