O the readers of v.ha Arabian Nights—and who has not-read them?—Bagdad, the city of Haroun-al-Raschid, conjures up ¢ :=a incomparable and delighttul vision of stately palaces, lovely. wom- en, sbady courts and cool fountains, such as exist in no other city of the world. Many a lover of the beautiful has laid down his book with a sense of weariness of Occidental civilization, and closed his eyes in order to revel in visions of Oriental luxury, oblivi ous of the fact that the east seen through the magic spectacles of fairy romance is not the east in reality. Bagdad has a charm all its own. For it is not only the largest and best known city of Mesopotamia—the cra- dle of the world—but it is one of the few remaining cities still unspelled by western {nnovations. . Moreover, the advent of the Bagdad railway and Sir Wililam Wilcocks’ _irrigation scheme have given the City of the Caliphs .80 much prominence of late, that a brief description of what is to be seen and done in the-City of a - Thousand-and-One Nights may not, prove uninteresting to that large elr- | cle of readers who can spare neither the time nor the money to undenuh' & journey necessitating several weeks of travel. . .« “ow to Get There. f On¢ can reach Bagdad either via the Persian gulf or via Beyrut-Alep- po, the latter being the most pictur esque route. From Aleppo southward one must either proceed all the way by native carriage or go to Meskeneh and travel down the Euphrates to Feluja on a “shaktoor”—a vessel somewhat like a child's Noah’s Ark borne down-stream by the river cur rent. The traveler who harkens after Pull- | man cars or upholstered seats had better return home once he reaches Aleppo, for nothing more uncomfort- able cgn be imagined than a journey through the desert in a native car rlage. Forced to lie full length for 12 or 14 hours at a stretch daily, jolt- ed from one side to the other whilst the burning rays of the sun beat down upon one’s head, one gives a sigh of relief upon reaching a “khan” just be- fore sundown in order to snatch a few hours 'sleep—fleas permitting! More- over, the roads are infested with rob- bers, 8o that it is necessary to travel with an escort of soldiers. After some 20 days of travel one at last approaches Bagdad, glad at heart Natives as Railroad Laborers. to know that in a space of a few hours the sound of English, French and German will again greet one’s ears. Hence when the driver shouts “Inshallah (please God), Bagdul in three hours!” one cranes one's neck in mosques and minarets of story and legend. Within half an hour of Bagdad, the Holy city of Kazimain, famous for its mosque with domes of solid gold, and the fanaticism of its inhabitants, stands out against the clear blue sky. Annually thousands of Shia pligrims make their way from Persia to pray at this shrine, and the Ottoman gov- ernment reaps quite a rich harvest from the duty it levies on corpses im- ported for burial amongst the saints of Shih Mohammedanism. No unbe-; llever is allowed within the precincts of this place of worship, and only & glance can be obtained on one’s way through the bazar, of the splendid mo- saics which cover :he facades of this ; A lawyers— mosque.

Ichabod—when I reached the city I discovered that it was distance that led enchantment to the view, and that the glories of Bagdad had indeed departed! With the excep- tion of a portion of the custom house, known as the “Medras,” or high school, nothing now remains of the Budld of Haroun’s days. This, too, is 'shortly to be aemolished in order to make room for more commodious buildings. : Architecturally, Bagdad bas little to offer, and the British: res- idency and the girls’ school of the Alliance Israelite are, the only build ings that arrest attention. It little can be said in favor of the sights to be seen, the social life in Bagdad amongst Europeans has much te recommend itself. Everyone seems - good-tempered, notwithstanding that the mean temperature in summer is 118 degrees Fahrenheit. There is plenty of sport, tenmis, badiminton, polo—whilst an occasional dance or garden party does a great deal to dis- pel that feeling of homesickness that overcomes the best and worst of us. Bagdad boasts three clubs—the Brit- ish, German and French. Hospital- ity is written with a capital H over each, and anyone pitching his tent in that city will ind a warm weleome ex- tended him by his compatriots. Each of these clubs sets a day apart every week or month for the recep- tion of guests. One then hear: such a babel of tongues tha. one might im- agine one’s self in ¢ RBerlitz school. Modesty precludes my saving anyth. ug about the British club. 1 cannot con- clude this article, however, without paying a tribvte to the German col- ony in Bagdad. noons is to have missed a social treat, | Many a non-German will carry awny’ with him pleasant memories of our charming hosts and hostesses, so in- defatigable in their efforts to make their guests as happy as possible “im deutschen Kreis.” The Difference. “Johnny,” asked the teacher, “ean you explain the difference between levitation and gravitation?” “Yessum,” replied Johnny, “one levs and the other gravs.” Description.

HANDS NEED NOT BE ROUGH Even the Busiest of Housewives Can Find Time for This S8imple Beaw tifying Process. Here are some useful hinta, which, it followed, will be found to produce excellent results in keeping the hands in good condition.

Now rub over with olive oll, and put on & pair of old chamols leather glovea, which, if kept on all night, will make the skin soft, as well as nice and white.
