NIZAHA, A WOMAN OF NAZARETH.— Hardly what one would expect in appearance was Nizaha, a woman with the Bedouins, who came from the locality reverentially considered by all the Christian world as the birthplace of Christ. It will be observed that in sitting for her photograph Nizaha did not forget her hands and handkerchief and that, with the left hand especially, as it is spread out against her side, a somewhat startling effect is produced. The rings are shown prominently, but the hands themselves have undue size because of their nearness to the camera. They show that they are the hands of one whose life has been spent healthfully out of doors and engaged in the duties of a woman of a nomadic race rather than those of a creature of the drawing room. A very good exponent of the manner of women of her race was the ingenuous Nizaha.
