While the Mohammedan laws make it no easy iora hueband to put away hie wife, it eecnree to her all her own property. Under no coneideration can the husband de- prive the wife of her own property.

Th in money in mt i uthcomi atthe wedding nor expected. but it in piac to the wife's credit as a debt owed to her by the husband.

The lanet Mare, or Kaiser, being then asoen ant, they named the city Bal- Kaherah, from which the present enun- oieflon, Ceire, is derived The crest of minarets and demos, houses and tombs, marks every neration since. A nature 'vision of the city would be into two sections, the one of the dead, the other of the living ; for large districts of it are given up to tombs. Many of these are really memorial moeques. in which lie the bodies of the Callphs and Mameluke princes Her and there is a rich man’s tomb, at the window of which is a running stream of water and a cup, that the thirsty may drink and bless the memory of the departed. Most oi the tombs are unsightly eiahs or plastered meundsmrdly distinguishable in color from the deep dust which, unlike our green grass, glares around them. These cemeteries are rieot Tophets of filth, the lair oi mangy one end iaztred men.

In Venezuela, the karite has a vegetable competitor in a tree of another species, the tubayba. In this case, it is the abundant lecteous sap of the tree that is utilized. This is collected by the natives by simply making an incision in the bark. According to expforers, the milk of this tree is iatty. has an agreeable odor, and is nutritive. Perhaps t e most remarkable of these milk trees is found in the forest of British Gul- ana. The pith and bark of this tree con- tain so large a quantity of sap that the least incision made in the surface caused the valuable liquid to flow. The nativeshold it in high esteem as a food.
