    FESTIVALS IN MOROCCO.
Dne Month Whra the Moor Faata All
Day and Kvnnta All Night.
A traveler writes: "lu Morocco the
Kasarene eon never tell how time
tanda lu relatiou to the Moorish your.
The Mohnuimeili.il calendar knows but
864 days, so, m the Moors lose some
eleven days in the year, their festivals
are constantly varying In date.' The
most Important, of .course, Is Rama
dan, when Moslems fast from the ris
ing to the setting of the sun during the
month. The Moor fasts all day and
feasts all night, and throughout the
mall hours In certain Moorish cities
officials pass down the streets in sol
emn procession, armed with musical in
struments, and one at their head calls
upon the 'servants of CJod' to cat and
drink before the advent of the dawn.
On one night toward the end of Ha
madan It Is well known that the gates
of heaven are opened In order that the
prayers of the faithful may he heard,
tnd It Is equally certain that all the
devils and genii uro kept in some prison
of the underworld throughout the
month.
'"Another feast of importance Is the
Aid el Kabeer, which takes place on the
tenth day of the last month of the Mo
hammedan year. It celebrates the sac
rifice of Ishmael (not Isaac) by Abra
ham on Mount Morlnh. Certain pray
ers are said In the mosques, and after
these the cadi, standing In some prom
inent position, cuts the throat of a
sheep that Is then carried In a basket
at headlong speed to the town's chief
mosque. If the sheep be alive when It
reaches the mosque, the ensuing year
will be a prosperous one for the town.
By means of gun fire and trumpet call
all the city Is Informed that the sacri
fice has been killed, and then every
householder kills a sheep on the thresh
old of his own home. This sheep has
been bought on the previous day and
tied up In readiness for the feast.
"Still another festival of great Im
portance In Morocco Is the Moolud,
which takes place in the month that is
culled the 'spring of flowers. It Is
ushered In by singing and dancing and
music and seems to be founded on some
old forgotten native festival. When
the Moolud comes round a blue mark
Is placed between the eyebrows of
young children In order that the evil
eye may be averted from them. The
festival Is also notorious by reason of
the performance of the Alsawi, the fol
lowers of Mohammed bin Alsn of Me
qulnez, the patron saint of snake
charmers.
"These Alsawi may be compared
with the dancing dervishes of other
Mohammedan countries. The Alsawi
aro accustomed to repeat aloud a sen
tence that contains the master word of
their order, and they howl It until the
sound Is not comparable to anything
one has heard before. In moments of
extremo frenzy the devotees are known
to seize sheep or even dogs and tear
them to pieces with their bands. Some
may be seen devouring n sheep before
It Is dead."
Hlatorle Wheat.
Experts on the subject of bread
grains say that wheat can be traced
back Into the dim past across the line
marked by the advent of historic man
Into the dim shades of the stone age.
It has been known In Egypt and In the
valleys of the Euphrates and the Tigris
Ince the time when history "runneth
not to the contrary." The prehistoric
races which formerly lived In the fa
mous . "lake dwellings," which were
built- on platforms supported by piles
driven In the lakes of Switzerland, had
their mealing stones, wheat mortars,
sickles and other grain harvesting and
flourmaking apparatus at least 4,000
years ago. Wheat found In ancient
Egyptian tombs and In the ruins of the
lake dwellings referred to Is Identical
with that which we use today.
An Expensive Bnrlnl Ground.
Burial In Westminster abbey is an
expensive honor, although the sums ex
acted are considerably less than they
Were up to the middle of the last cen
tury. The fees for Interment are ar
ranged on the following scale: To the
Fabric fund, 20, 30 or 40, according
to the degree of the person to be burled.
Other fees to dean, canons, choir, offi
cers, verger, etc., 34 2s. 2d. In lieu
of scarves, etc., for choir, etc., 31
2s. 3d., making altogether 01 4s. 8d.,
101 4s. 8d. or 111 4s. 8d., according
tk degree. Formerly the fees amouuted
to 150 or 100, besides the scarves,
hatbands and gloves charged in the un
dertaker's bill.

Trlbea of Bine Ured Indians.
Red haired negroes are scarce enough,
but an equally curious freak of nature
is seen in the Griegos Indians, near the
City of Mexico. They are light com
plexioned, and the majority have blue
eyes and light hair. They dress prin
cipally in two shades of blue, and their
clothing Is good and well made and
generally ornamented with the bead
and silk embroidery of which Indians
I are so fond. Their houses are better
built and rurnlslied tnan is usual
among Indians, and many have pianos
and other muslcul instruments, upon
which they play with considerable skill.
Theso Griegos have no commercial or
social connections with other tribes,
holding aloof from even those who live
lit the base of the mountain on which
the village Is situated. They raise
their own food, do their own manu
facturing, have their own schools,
churches and social institutions and
seldom or never marry outside their
own tribe. There is said to bo another
trllio of blue eyed, fair haired Indians,
who have the appearance of Hermans,
living in the Sierra Madre mountains
in the state of Durango.
Lather For Shaving;.
It Is commonly assumed that soap Is
used In shaving for the purpose of sof
tening the hairs. This, however, It
seems, is a mistake. It is used, ou
the contrary, to render them hard, dry,
stiff and brittle,' In which condition
they best yield to the blade. Hair be
ing naturally oily, the razor would
either slip over the limp hair without
cuttlug it, or entering about half way
bend the hair back and slice It length
wise, all the while straining It most
painfully at the root, and as a razor
would thus slice and pull probably a
number of hairs at once the pain pro
duced would be intense. Most shav
ing soap contains a free alkali, either
potash or soda, which combines with
and so removes the oil of the hair,
leaving only the hard fiber, dry and
stiff, as may be seen by taking a solu
tion of carbonate of soda and dipping
a single hair Into it.
The Deep Sea Lend.
In order to find a ship's position
when approaching the land lu a fog
soundings are taken with the "deep sea
lead." This lead weighs twenty-eight
pounds and Is attached to a Hue which
is marked off In fathoms by bunting of
various colors, pieces of leather and
knots. Bored in the base of the lead
is a hole about two inches deep, and
this Is filled with tallow, so that the
gravel or shells at the ocean bottom
will adhere to It, and the nature of the
bed may be thus ascertained. When
the lead is thrown overboard the wa
ter's depth Is noted on the line, and
this and the adherence to the tallow
when compared with the description
given on the chart will give the ship's
position with tolerable accuracy.
The Famona Hamelnfcca.
The mamelukes were a body of sol
diers who ruled Egypt for several hun
dred years. Their name Is derived
from an Arab word which means slave,
and they were originally captives from
Caucasian countries. In the middle of
the thirteenth century they were intro
duced Into Egypt as the sultan's body
guard, but upon the accession of Turan
Shah, whom they hated, they over
threw him and elected one of them
selves in his place. For nearly 300
years' they held the power thus usurp
ed, and even when compelled to resign
it they had much influence In Egypt.
In 1811 nearly all the mamelukes were
massacred by Mohammed All, and
those who then escaped to Nubia were
destroyed in 1820.
The PUlara of Hercnlea.
The "Pillars of Hercules" was the
name anciently given to the mountains
of Calpe and Abyla, standing opposite
to each other, the one on the European
and the other on the African shore of
the strait which connects the Mediter
ranean sea with the Atlantic ocean.
The mountains are now called the
Rock of Gibraltar and Jebel Zatant
The word Gibraltar, which is at pres
ent also applied to the strait, was
originally "Jebel TbtIc," or "Mountain
of Tarlc," Taric being the name of the
leader of the first Mohammedan band
which crossed at that point over Into
Spain in the year A. D. 710.
The Wind Sail.
It frequently happens that after dis
charging a cargo of a particularly
malodorous nature it is necessary to
lot the air reach certain parts of the
bold of a vessel not served by the fixed
regulation ventilators. To effect this
purpose a portable canvas ventilator,
called a "wind sail," is employed. It is
cylindrical in shape and is kept in po
sition by means of stays. When it is
erected the air blows down It, and the
bold is soon pure once more.

VALUE OF OLD MEN.
Thoae of Threeaeore Yeara Snld to Be
Moat I'aeful Cltlaena.
' America Is the young man's couutry,
we are told, because so many of the
conspicuous figures among us are young
men. The thing is said conventionally,
us if there were some moral virtue In
being young; us If. too, the greatest
tragedy lu American history was not
the deatfi some forty yeara ago of half
a million men in the prim'e of life,
which deprived our generation of its
wisest counselors. Experience Is the
only school which gives a degree hon
ored of all men, and a man of three
score, with the vigor of life still lu him,
.ihotild V the most useful citizen of a
commuii'ty. The awful catastrophe at
Baltimore furnished a splendid In
stance. The conflagration had been
raging for twelve hours. Chief Ilor
ton of tho fire department had been
disabled by a live wire. Tho lighters
were without a head. ' Then William
C. McAfee, veteran lire chief, retired
for age and accounted an old man, of
fered his services to the mayor. They
were accepted. Donning ids oilskins
and grabbing his trumpet, tho old chief
went into action. At once tho men
knew they had a leader. They needed
one. The fire was roaring down to the
river bank, where were some great
resin works filled with turpentine.
And as they went so must go East Bal
timore. "There will be the deuce to pay if the
fire gets Into that resin," yelled Mc
Afee through his trumpet "If enough
of you men will follow me, we'll go In
there and dump the whole outfit Into

ly. TREE PLANTING.
Some Valuable Tolntera That Are
Well Worth Remembering;.
First cut off smoothly the broken
root ends which are over half an inch
lu diameter; next trim the top if it
cannot be easily reached from the
ground after planting. With an oak
or other hardwood tree cut back se
verely, reducing the number of buds
(10 per cent to 80 per cent. If the
leader Is cut off, a tree later forms two
leaders, which are apt to split the
trunk and ruin the tree.
After the hole has been prepared it
should be partially refilled, so that the
trees are at their natural level. Spread
the roots out straight. Work fine, mel
low soil under the ceuter of the tree.
In the case of fine roots it may be nec
essary to do this with the fingers.
With coarse, fibrous roots the earth
can be packed lu with a pointed stick.
Next see that the tree stands ver
tically. The simplest way Is to stand
off, then hold up the shovel so that it
forms a plumb bob and take a sight
Then stand around and look at the tree
from a direction at right angles to the
first Hue of sight, seeing that the trunk
stands erect ou both lines. Packing the
earth firmly around the center will
bold it In position In most instances.
Watering fall' planted trees Is rarely
necessary, as the ground will generally
have sufficient moisture. Garden Mag
azine. Blind Men and Smoking;.
"Why Is It that a blind man never
smokes?" asked Smith the other day.
"Because he would not know whether
he was pulling ou a lighted cigar or an
uullghted one," replied Jones. "If a
man shuts his eyes he can't tell wheth
er he Is smoking or not, unless he in
hales his smoke. The Inhaler is gener
ally able to feel it passing through the
double flues of his chimney nose. But
I have seen the experiment made of
blindfolding a smoker who doesn't in
hale and then placing a lighted and un
limited cigar in bis mouth alternately.
He was never able to say when he was
smoking. He was absolutely uncon
scious of the cloud of blue vapor that
was blown from his mouth when he
had the lighted Havana between his
teeth. A man has to see it in order to
enjoy a smoke."
An Odd Prescription.
Dr. William Osier In one of his Bal
timore lectures recited a quaint old
cure for the gout a cure from a sev
enteenth century work that was de
signed to show gout's hopelessness.
"First, pick," said this odd cure, "a
handkerchief from the pocket of a
spinster of thirty-five who never wish
ed to wed; second, wash the handker
chief in an honest miller's pond; third,
dry It on the hedge of a person who
was never covetous; fourth, send it to
the shop of a physician who never kill

I Spelling; In the Year 1408.
By the following, which is an exact
lopy of the first paragraph in the will
if Henry IV. of England, written in
January, 1-108, it will be Been that even
k'ugs are uot always good spellers:
"In tho name of God, Fadlr, Son and

Artlata aa Frame Makers.
The frame for the picture Is always
a sore question with the average artist,
as any one of them will confess and
any frnme maker testify to. Most
painters have definite ideas on how
their canvases should be framed, but
when It comes to ordering and paying
for them, that Is another matter. As
great an artist as Alma-Tadema al
ways designed his own frames, and
not a few New York painters design
and make their own. There Is one
Boston artist who began by making his
own frames after his own designs, and
his effects were so artistic that several
of his colleagues iu that city begged
him to make frames for them. He
consented to do this In a few cases,
until the fame of his work spread
abroad, and as a result he received so
many orders that he set up a frame
making shop of his own.
The Stone of Destiny.
The historic stone known In Scotland
as the "Stone of Destiny," in Ireland
as the "Liu Fall" and In England as
"Jacob's Pillar" or the "Scone" is said
to have been brought from Egypt to
Ireland by a beautiful princess, who
placed It lu Tarn's hall In 580 B. C. At
present this very ancient relic is fas
tened underneath the coronation chair
In Westminster abbey. The stone Is of
dark color, streaked with red, and is
twenty-six Inches long, sixteen inches
wide and eleven inches thick. Its sur
face is much defaced, and a deep crack
almost divides it into two parts. Tra
dition says that this stone can be trac
ed back to the plains of Luz, where
Jacob laid his head upon It and dream
ed his ladder dream, and that at the
captivity Jeremiah carried It to Egypt.
A Love Teat,
This tale is told in the orient: A lady
one day found a man following her,
and she asked him why he did so. His
reply was, "You are very beautiful,
and I am in love with you." "Oh, you
thluk me beautiful, do you? There is
my sister over there. You will find her
much more beautiful than I am. Go
and make love to her." On bearing
this, the man went to see the sister, but
found she was very ugly, so he came
back in an angry mood and asked the
lady why she had told him a falsehood.
She then answered, "Why did you tell
me a falsehood?" The man was sur
prised at this accusation and asked
when he had done so. Her answer
was: "You said you loved me. If that
had been true you would not have gone
to make love to another woman."
Trout.
A trout is a trout from the day it is
born, but not until it gets into the
ocean is a salmon, a salmon. While it

of salmon. Early fall Is the season for
eastern trout, followed by the German

RIDING A CAMEL.
More Convenient and Lena Tlrlua;
Than Horaebaclc Riding;.
Camel riding In tho desert of Sahara
Is not so very fatiguing after one has
learned how. A veteran traveler In
that district describes the process:
"Each riding camel has a bridle, or
rather a halter, of plaited leather like
an ordinary halter, and the camel Is
guided as a horse would be if riding
him with one rein only. The saddle is
a most elaborate affair. To adjust
one properly on a camel's hump Is an
art extremely dlfilcult to muster. First
two cushions of leather, stuffed with
grass straw, are placed on Cie animal's
hump, and on these is net the saddle.
This latter consists of two wooden
forks, ono In front and one behind, con
nected by a side board. Above this Is
placed the seat of the saddle, which Is
bnllt like a squaro saucer. The tops of
the wooden forks rising In front and
behind form two saddlehorns, and,
once one has negotiated his way Into
the saucer and Installed the feet and
legs by letting them, from the knee
downward, hang over tho front, one Is
pretty safe from falling out. Cushions
and rugs placed In this saucerllke de
pression add to the comfort. The sad
dle Is secured by a wide girth and also
by n shoulder strap and girth at the
back thut takes the place of a crupper.
"There are, of course, us) stirrups, the
fjot merely hanging over the front.
After ono lias learned to avoid an oc
casional dig In the middle of the back
from the hindmost horn and has be
come accustomed to the weight of tho
legs hanging over the front, camel rid
ing Is very comfortable and far less
tiring than horseback riding, especially
as one's position can be varied in many
ways by riding sidesaddle or crossing
the legs on the camel's neck, and so
firth. "J'he long, swinging gait Is
fairly easy, and one can move nbout
on a camel's back in a maimer that
would startle any ordinary horse.
"On the saddle are tarried a pair of
leather saddlebags, wherein I enrry
books, maps, Instruments, cartridges,
lunch mid the like. From the horns of
the saddle are hung ritle, field gl.isnes,
prismatic compass and water bottle.
Altogether It Is a pretty complete out
fit.and only equaled by a Chinese chair
for convenience lu traveling when one
vlslies to hunt and nap at the same
r.me."

INDIGESTION'S RECORD
"The best remedy I can prescribe for your In-:
digestion, madam, is Green's August Flower. ;
1 know 01 several other physicians who pre-j
cribe it regularly." j
((Indigestion is making an awful record!
as a cause of sudden deaths. It is beat-;
ing heart-failure in its ghastly harvest, i
QYou read in the papers daily of appar-i
ently healthy and even robust men being!
suddenly attacked with acute imligestiouj
after enjoying a hearty meal, and of their:
dying in many cases before a physician!
could be called in. !
JThis should be a warning to you whoi
suffer with regular or periodical attacks
of indigestion. If these unfortunate vic
tims of acute indigestion had taken a
small dose of Green's August Flower be
fore or after their meals they would not
have fallen a prey to such sudden seizures.
fAugu9t Flower prevents indigestion by
creatinggood dige3tion. It also regulates
the liver, purifies the blood and tones up
the entire system in a natural way. t
