In every country where severe economies are thrust upon the people, the donkey comes to the rescue, and does the work which no other creature alive can do. He lives on nothing; he is rarely fed— in times of drought or severe work some barley—but is turned loose to find what he may. He is never vicious or obstinate, but works faithfully till his poor old ears flop downward frum Q and he literally falls under his 1d dies in his ‘ks, after sery- ing his often cruel master some score or more of ye: ‘When he is put to work as a ing he does not last so long. I have ridden one at eighteen months which had been trained but two weeks, and yet was gentle, bridle- wise and well-gaited. Where is there such a horse? One sees Arabs coming into Con- stantinople with a donkey-load of wood, which they sell for three francs. They have come twenty-five miles with it, sell it and next day ride the donkey back. As a meal costs them but two cents, the wood nothing, and the don- key does all the work, what seems a small profit is really a good one. And who is it that it?

The donkey in Algeria rarely has a saddle. He has a pad, very similar to the pad on which the bespangled queens of the sawdust ring dance their short hour to delighted boys and rus- tics. This pad has no stirrups, and is it to make a seat on it ex- tremely tiring to the uninitiated. The Arab sits astride or sidewise, and as the pad is rarely girthed, or at best by a slender rope, it is like walking a tight-rope or managing a birch-bark canoe to sit on it until you “catch on.” Between this pad, which serves equal- or loading, and the sad- Spahi there is a vast cate- and sty! all, however, much too le. A pair of stirrups is often improvised by tying two bags together, putting them across the pad, turning in one corner, and thrusting the foot into the pocket thus made. The flimsy pretext for saddle or har- ness used all over the East would be cast on the dump by the poorest Amer- ican farmer. He would not risk his bones with it—Col. T. A. Dodge, in Harper's. Absolutely Gone. Very little remains of the London nooks and corners so vividly described by Charles Dickens. Dickensland no longer has a real existence. But what does that matter? The trans-atlantic pilgrim to the shrine of the master clamors to be shown the house in which Mr. Pickwick lived, the court in which Mr. Krook made such a very uncomfortable end of it, the actual public house which displayed Mr. Sam- uel Weller’s extensive and peculiar knowledge of London in so remarkable a degree, the Old Curiosity Shop, Tom- all-alone’s, the Wooden Midshipman and all the rest of it. Why should he not be gratified? Demand inevitably creates supply, and the vivid im tion of the guides stands in pli fact. Any old house the his which is not clearly known se A preserve an illusion. A curious in- stance of the way in which people are sometimes quite unconsciously and in- nocently led into error in these mat- ters, writes Dickens the younger, is to be found in John Forster's “Life of Charles Dickens.” Mr. Forster gives a picture of Tavistock House, which is, no doubt, accepted a faithful repre- sentation of the house as it was when Charles Dickens lived in it. But, as a matter of fact, it is not. A later tenant added a portico, or porch, to the sireet door; and this portico, of which Charles Dickens knew nothing, figures in the picture. This is, per- haps, a trivial matter, but many of the Dickensland traditions have received lence on very siinilar and equally i mrote orannaa strength and courage of* THEY Say.
