n ? Orieatai Architecture.

A curious and interesting aspect of Zanzibar is its architecture. It Is «rier*Tcl In every feature, with odd. rambling

double bars and bolts and a padlock. The doors are flanked within and without with "baraza," or store seats, for guards and retainers, it is from this that the term “baraza" Is applied to the daily court of the Sultan, at which the poorest subject

ntfiy attend and claim justice.

f from a position so directly overhead that i a perpendicular object cast no shadow | upon the earth, we came in eight of the

Wand of Zanzibar.

At fim it appeared as a long, low strip of land, hazy and distance blurred; on nearer approach the landscape changed } to a purple hue. Then as we came cltmer 1 in shott, the whole island seemed robed la green and gold, presenting a tropical I pomp and glory of vegetation strangely i picturesque, beautiful "and prepossessing. I As a background to the low coazt country was the dome of distant tree-crowned hiile that rise to an elevation of several j hundred feet. The land, the sea and the | »ky all seemed wrapped in a soft and sensuous repose, in the tranquil life of the Indolent East. Drowsily In the midday j sun lay the tropical island in a swoon-like j

A coral reef forma the harbor of Zan- ! zibar and defends that great store hou»e : and supply station of East Africa from the damaging effects of the Indian j ocean monsoons. It Is traversed slowly s«d threaded carefully by ships, for those reefs cut like a knife, and many a wreck In the harbor marks the fate of a barque carele*,iy navigated in its treacherous waters. As the ship made j its way slowly, carefully, into the har- | bor. 1 was impressed with the remark- | able transparency of the water. It was ' like amethyst streaked with verdigris green and patched with turquois blue. The gold of the sands and the lighter rfnts of the wave-washed coral, blended ‘ with the blue of heaven, and the ship seemed to be sailing through air, or borne upon its own reflected image in

the pellucid waters. Ancient Zanzibar.

Balling closer in. we dropped anchor near the ancient Arab city-of Zanzibar, I and directly in front of the Sultan’s pal- | ace. The normal straight .lines and plain j white houses of the town, gleaming in ; the sunshine, stood out in clear relief | against the v&ri-tinted landscape and grandeur of the tropical forest that lay behind. The scene Is characterized by ; a puritanical plainness The Arab houses, built of coral, uniform in style of architecture. with plain white walls and flat , or thatched roofs, leave a straight, stiff ; sky line, above which can be seen the tops of tall cocoanui palms, . which in | the distance resemble huge dust brushes,

I Th« modest spires of two cathedrals lift their graceful, slender forms high above other building* in th* center of the town, declaring to the world that here, in th<» one* Infamous and notoriour slave market, the church has planted Its fortlfleations, and is doing battle against the curse of slavery and other evils that exist in & country where Ignorance and su-

perstition prevail.

Scattered about the city promiscuously are numerous Mohammedan mosques, with cloisters and towers. In th* center of the city, fronting upon the beach and commanding the harbor, is a great square, stone building, four stories high, with a wide, wooden gallery at each story extending ail the way round, the resident palace of his lligh- ; ness. Beyytd Hamoud bln Mahomed. Bul- ! tan of Zanzibar. From a tower surmount- ! Ing the palace floats the plain red ensign of the government. Near the Sultan s palaca stand the various consulates, their plain whitewashed wails glaring in th« sun, forming, with other square flatroofed buildings, a foreground concealing from view the thatched roof Makuti huts

of the native town.

. The Harbor Scene. Th* scene in the harbor, from the city of Zansibar, presents a broad expanse of deep, blue water, stretching away to the faint, indistinct outline of hills on the mainland. A number of little, wooded coral Islands, and rocky, sand-covered islets, gleaming white in the tropical sun, dot th* half distance. Waves rolled In by the Indian ocean monsoon break regularly over the strip of yellow sand that runs in front of the town. Th* breeze that ruffle* the sea is bringing in from the coast country, and from far away Muskat, quaintly shaped Arab dhows, with enormous brown colored cloth or matting sails. The Nvanza, which constitutes the Sultan’s navy, an old ship, with beautiful and graceful lines, but a most ineffective armament and worthies* crew, rides at anchor in front of the palace. The white hulks of German, British. French and Italian warships loom large and flirce upon the surface, as they lie Indolently and motionless on the boeom of th* bay. A forest of dhows and mtepes, resembling overgrown gondolas, glide gracefully

about the harbor.

Along the beach, is a motley crowd, made up of many nationalities A line of women going and coming in single file, each with a basket on her head, resembling a caravan of busy, fussy, fretful anta, are unloading a cargo of coal from a merchantman. A half hundred half-naked natives, shouting and •gesticulating. are swarming up from huge lighters over the atd* of a big steamer just In from Europe, relieving her of her cargo A bevy of black boys.

Lofty Rooms,

A steep stairway mounts to the princi- j pal rooms, which are always lofty, i though sometimes narrow, ornamented t with recesses, and not infrequently by a • row of columns and arches. Flat terraces on' the baiu«traded roofs—a favorite resort in the evening—and an odd assetnbling of rooms, arches and columns j placed promiscuously in every available j corner, give a rambling stylo to the cor- : ridorz. mid a quaint, mysterious appear- • ante to the interior of the houses, sug- j

gestiye of the “ArabiaR Nights.’* Another odd feature of Arab houses,

and one w hich adds to the air of mystery about th rl is the ft., t that there are ft-w ur nowtadows to the rooms on the first floor, and whenever there is a window to one of the lower rooms, it is always protected with iron bars, giving it the a pi-«raranee of a prison cell. In the days when most of the houses of Zanzibar were built, protection for the occupants was a first consideration. Another reason for carefully guarding the houses is the ! fact that the majority of the Arabs kept j a number of women, and the residences I were built on a plan that would not permit of any promiscuous communication with the outside world. High above the iron-barred windows are little openings, resembling loop-holes in a fort. •

The buildings in Zanzibar, particularly

those along the shore line, are not devoid of beauty, the artistic effect being derived from contrasts of color, and light and shade. The hugh clock tower on the Sultan s palace, which rises like a minaret above the flat-roofed houses, is in reality an angular ugly affair, but seen from a distance, its straight lines softened down, it lends a good point of view. Most of the buildings are plain, and few of them: can lay claim to elegance of external appearance, but. being all whitewashed or of light colored stone, they form under the sun’s rays a snowy. Irregular mass, the outline of which shows

effectively against the deep blue sky. A view of the city from the sea, at

sunset, Is really beautiful. The sky is a somber biue-gray, and the water of the harbor reflects the same tint. Th* long headland of dark green forest, which :

stretches out into the sea, lends a deep- n0 time tO experiment, nor CRH emng sky, forming a r f

neutral background to the mass qf white buildings which reflect on their sympa- t thetic surfaces the warm glow of the | retting sun. In the daytime, under the glare of a vertical sun, these rows of white houses are disagreeably dazzling, but in the quiet half hour of the short ’ evening they glow with a soft pink radiance, and their tender blush, color is hightened by a background of strange- j ly-colored eastern sky, which first be- i coming somber blue with the sinking sun, for a brief while grows green with jeal- ; ousy of the west and partial reflection of the sunset, and offers a complimentary I contrast to the houses in their pinkish i

hue.

Then along the shore and the biue bay j the shipping, turned toward the warm, J ‘Oft light of evening, loses its blackness j and distinct outlines, and fuses into s dusky brown, the mazes of masts and rigging seeming to part with their per- ! spectlve and to mingle together In one ; indistinct whole. As the shadows deep- | en and the rose-tinted houses fade into dull gray, yellow lamps gleam 'n the tower that rises above the Sultan s palace, and as night comes on, the face of the great clock in the tower is suddenly illuminated with a cold radiance—the

Had some fellers say they thought I was a business man and one feller tether day said he thought perhaps I was a runner.

I sold a new chum that was just about the handiest and the quickest ever made, and when the man showed it to me—he was the genera! agent—I Just thought everybody would buy that churn. I tried it all summer and sold some, but lots of people stick to old things, especially women folks—old fogy tike. And I made some money, but the expenses, they Just eat up everything and more too. I couldn’t pay back Nary’s butter money what I borrowed to start out with In the spring. Sary and the boys, they seen after the farm while I

the thing—leastwise for me; but, as our preacher says, I had a abldln’ faith that Something or other would turn up, like that rat trap; was kind a iayin' low. And soon after Christmas a feller come to town here, in MehalyvUle, and he had a contraption that was new for sure. He called It th* "economy milk pall." He stopped down at the hotel, and I tell you he made things lively. It was like havin' meetin’ every night. And talk! Nobody could ever get lonesome where he was. There wasn’t anybody round here could compete with him in talking, as th# feller saya, and when he put on his stovepipe hat and walked round, why. | It Juat looked like MehalyvUle was Uttier j than ever, and he could buy it and th# j whole township throwed in. and turn round and give it away for nothin’. “The milk pall? Why, It was made so you could upset it and turn It over and the milk wouldn’t come out. put water In it and then knock it round party lively, or he would ask the fellers

like me to monkey with a county. He wouldn't sell it, he said, to Just any feller — wanted what he called a hustler, and I was the identical chap, and I was a fool to waste my time and talents farmin' when a fortune was right before me in that there milk pail; and all I had to do was just to reach out and grab It ‘‘And you ought to have heard him talk about money. The feller what was here last spring with them patent glass tombstones couldn’t hold a candle to him, nor the big fat feller sellln’ county rights on a patent gate. It would almost take my breath. He’d never mention a hundred dollars, nor even a thousand; sometimes it was ten thousand, but generally It was a hundred thousand or half a million. And some times when he’d slap me on the shoulder, kind a offhand, like we was old friends, end say In his hearty way. ’Mr. Lamberts (that’s my name). I tell you some day you’d own the whole township, if you want to, and your wife won’t have to take a back seat for any one.’ It just made me fe«l good all over. You just couldn't help likin’ him. He had such talcin’ ways, and would give you anything you wanted. He gave me a real pair of kid gloves; said that was the

kind I d be wearing after I got In the pail ! ^

father—and draw out the money In the bank to raise 13,000 to buy the State and 12.000 to buy palls with and start the business. So we drove to Martinsville and went to the bank to get the money when what does old Simmons, who runs the bank do, but say. 'Mr*. Lamberts, what are you going to do with the money?' which was none of his business. So Sary up and tells him the whole thing. And then old Simmons just let in and he just called him all kinds of names and that she would lose her money and I didn't know anything about business and scared Sary so she give the money right back to

him.

"1 never was so kerflummixed in all my life. I argued and argued with Sary. and

showed her how many farmers r/ere In j Chicago,

tiie State, and every one would have to have a pall or more, ami couldn't set nary one except from me, and every single. solitary one at a profit of ftl 50 to me. And then all the dairies In Indlnoplis and Terry Hut and Evansville, and Ft. Wayne, and all the towns, would have to have ’em, and ihe thing would brin" in the money as easy as rollin’ off a log, as the feller says, and It wouldn’t be no time until we’d have more money than old Simmons. But she wouldn’t reason, but just said she guessed old Simmons knowed. Wimmen can’t Agger. So there

it war.

“I was just too shamed to meet Reynolds—that's hie name, Reynolds—so I made myself scarce, and when h* cam* to the house, Sary said: ‘Mr. Reynolds, I guess we won’t go In.’ He talked h-.* best, but it didn't do any good—I could a told him that and he could-a saved his breath. Sary is mild, and don’t flare up like some, and so when she says she guess she won't do a thing. It’s juat the same as if she got mad and shook hn fist, an{j said she'd be durned lr she did. But h# didn’t know that; so he talked and talked, and she just kept on sayln, T guess we w'on’t go In.’ H* said he wanted to do us a favor, but if w*. wouldn’t let him, why, of course, he

would give it to some one else.

•1 was ail riled up because Sary couldn’t see a thing when It was right before her—certain to make money hand over fist. So, sure enough, in a few days I heard that Si Stevens had bought a one-half Interest for >1.500—»SOO down and note# for the balance. Make any money?

he didn’t ever do a thing except

have a lawsuit and get beau Si didn't want to pay the note* when they came due; but old Simmons had ’em and It ! didn’t make any difference, the Judge said, what was said. Did 81 give the notes, and he said he did. and that &et-

I tied it-

business seme and wouldn't do a thing. If I'd gone In, we’d made a barrel of money. He considered that Stevens had lost him >50,000 by not developin' the business. If he had time he'd sue him

for damages,

that would revolutionize

pens, and that all the territory was j sold; but he hud two good j things he could let me in oni. j One was a thing to put on a churn lid. i so that to take off the lid you had to j

press down; liftin’ and pullin' wouldn’t

get it off in a thousand yeara; but just l

press down and it would come off Just Cincisnsii ssd bsyo» ilmi as easy. It was to keep children- from ; t^*4o»d(I Deirolj exprr## •J.<}3 takin’ off the lid and splttln’ in, or lettln' I h

files or dirt get in the milk. He flggered j that enough milk was lost In ten years \ to pay off the national debt. You see j children wouldn’t have sense enough to j press down; they’d pull. It is called 1 the ’paradox churn lid attachment, or > the rebounding magnet.' The other? | Why, that is the ‘horse tall protector.' i

You put one on a hbvse’s tall, and he

can rub agin a fence or the aide of a J stall a week at a time, and his tall wilt j be all right. I bought tbe county on s

both, but ain't started out yet.’" At this interesting juncture a whistle

announced the coming,of the train. Th# j

young fellow who acted as clerk, porter,

waiter and solicitor for the village hotel j came to give me the customary hand- |

ehake and say good-by. "The old man.
