People just now in Constantinople are interested in the presence among them of Kara Fatma, the redoubtable female warrior of Kurdistan, who has come on a brief visit to the Turkish capital. Her deeds of prowess date back to the beiginning of the Crimean war, when she led a large body of Kurdish volunteers, who fought with singu- lar daring for Turkey. The Ottoman Government'remembers her services, and requites these by a monthly pension of 5,000 piastres, a sum that in her own frugal home allows her to live with ease. She is tall, thin, with a brown,- hawklike face her cheeks are the color of parchment and seamed with scars. Wearing the national dress of the sterner sex, she looks like a man of 40, not like a woman who will never again see 75. Slung across her Ehoulder in Cossack fashion is her long sabre, with its Jewelled hilt decorations shine and spu.rkie on her breast while the stripes acroijs her sleeve sh jw her to be a Captain in the Ottoman army. Watching this interesting figure pass along the streets of Stamboul, one is remind- ed of an episode in the cannpaign of Gen. Lespina-se in the Dobrudja some short while before the allied armies landed in the Crimea. While smoking and chatting one day in his tent with several of his brother officers the General heard at far distance a strange music, a- melody of drums and clari. nets, tomtoms, and piercing human cries. Whence came this weird minstrelsy AH the men in camp turned out to listen to it and discern its origin, when from over the hills they saw a band of some 300 horsemen approaching them at full galop. At their head rode a brown-faced woman, with flash- ing eyes and lissom limbs the very picture of an Amazon. "Vaulting from her saddle, she gravely saluted Gen. Lespinasse, and through an interpreter told him that she had come to tight the Russians, both she and her brave Kurds being completely at his service. That night her men were quartered m camp with the French troops but they were ill pleased to be so billeted. They wanted their independence, and not even their mistress and leader should barter it away for them. By daybreak they were in their saddles riding off across the hills to meet the dawn, to the sounds of that weird, strident music which had proclaimed their approach. Ho Use for it at His House.

" You are hungry, too?" I asked in pain As I looked at his poor, wan face agai n. " Hungrry," he said with a bitter groan That would melt to pity a heart of stone " I'm 9tarved;we all are starving," he said, " We haven't had a crust of bread â€" Me, nor mother, nor baby Kateâ€" Since yesterday morning. I did not wait To ask him more, "Come, come," I cried, "You shall not hunger," and at my side His poor little patterinc footsteps fell On my ear with a sadness I cannot tell But his eyes beamed bright when he saw me stop Before the door of a baker's shop, And we entered " Now eat away, my boy. As much as you like," I said. With joy. And a soft expression of childish grace. He looked up into my friendly face And sobbed as he strove to hide a tear "Oh, if mother and baby Kate were here " " But eat," said I nevermind them, now." A thoughtful look stole over his brow. And lo from his face the joy had fled. " What While their starving at home " he said " Oh, no, sir I'm hungry, indeed, 'tis true. But I cannot eat till they ve had some too " The tears came rushing â€" I can't tell why â€" To my eyes as he spoke these words. Said I " God bless you Here, you brave little man.

Behind the town is a high range of moun- tains thickly wooded, with little streamlets trickling down to the sea. In the valleys on either side are Carib villages â€" one, the vfllage on the Rio Crystallis, the other on the Rio Negro. We visited the Carib town on the Rio Crystallis and found it a much larger settlement than it appeared to be. These so-called Caribs are, properly speak- ing, not Caribs, but are the descendants ot an African tribe. Yet they most decidedly object to being classed as nesg^ps, and boast that they have never been slaves. They are quite like the ordinary negro, with this exception, that they are scrupu- lously clean- abiout theu: persona. As is common among most of people of rude civilization, the women are the drudges, they are the hewers of wood and the draw- ers of water, and it is not uncommon to see a mother paddling a dory load of bananas, with her infant squatting in the bottom of the boat. When a man among the Caribs wishes to takeunto himself a wife he hews himself out a dory, and, with the assistance of his friends and a jug of rum, gathers together where- withal to build his hut, which con- sists of a few poles, a pile of clay to form the floor and to fill in the wickerwork sides of the house, and .some leaves of tht cohune palm to thateh the roof with. He then clears off a patch of ground and p'ants a few ears of corn, and some yams and cassava root. This he calls his plantation. He is then considered an eligibleswain, and is in a position to choose a partner from among the dusky maidens.' .This plantation is entirely looked after by the woman. She gathers the com to make tortillas, and digs the cassava root to make her bread. I visited a Carib house and watched theoperation of Cassaya breadifiak- ing. They first wash the root, then grate it on a board studded with small, sharp particles of flint to form a rough suriace then strain it in order to extract the surplus juice, which is considered poisonous. Their mode of straining is extremely primitive. The article ussd as strainer is a long snake- like arrangement, made from a species of palmetto grass plaited together, and look exactly like a huge serpent. It is abouts eight feet long and about three inches in diameter, and open at one end. The strain- er is suspended on a hook fron the rafters, the grated cassava is poured in, then a heavy weight is attached to the lower end, which causes the strainer to contract, and so expresses the juice. After it has been thoroughly strained it is baked into large, fiat cakes, which form the daily bread of the Carib. These appliances for making the cassava bread, together with a couple of stools, a table, and the inevitable hammock, comprise the furnishings of the house. While walking through the town we happened in on the school. There were about fifty Carib boys, all orderly and clean-looking, taught by a young Spaniard. The text books are all Spanish, the history and geography of Honduras being the principal studies. We had a delightful ride on horseback along the beach and up ^he Rio Crystallis, where we surprised a number of Carib women who were washing clothes in the stream. There they stood knee deep in the water, rinsing the clothes 'and put- ting them to dry on the stones. While riding up hill and fording the river we gave the horses the reins and allowed them to choose their own path, and to the utter consternation of the Carib washerwomen, the horses walked rifiht over the spotless clothes. The beautiful crystal stream finds its source away up in the mountains, and be- sides lending a charm to the surrounding scenery, furnishes the town of Truxillo with drinking water. It is brought into the town by the Carib women in jugs, for which they charge a half real a jug. It is a strange '^ht to witness these Carib women, with a awl, sometimes of wool, but generally of silk, thrown mantilla fashion, over their heads and theirshoulders, arms, and feet, without any covering save what Dame Nature provided.
