PHARMACIES TO MECCA.

A recent publication Of the Ministry OF
Algeria aud the Colonies, makes some Gu
rious statements relating to the pilgrlmages
TO Mecca during the present year. The
ceremonies at Mecca terminated on the 18th
of last month, in the presence of about So
600 pilgrims, of whom II $50 had come by
sea, and 32l50 by land. In, 1858 there
were 10000 pilgrims; III 1857, 10000;
in the number in 1859, is owing, the natives
declare, to the events of Djeddah last year,
and also to the dread of the cholera, which
made extensive rayages in 1858. As soon
as the pilgrim sets foot on the sacred soil
of Mecca, he must put on two pieces OF
white cloth, one tied round the loins with
ends hanging down TO the middle of the
leg, while the other is thrown over the sheul-
ders so us to leave the right arm free
He must go bareheaded and wear sandals.
As long as he wears this garment he is
bound to lead pure and regular life. At
Mecca he begins the ceremonies under the
direction Of guide. They are as follows:
/. Visiting the temple and going seven
times round the kaaba, starting from the
Black Stone, which he must kiss or touch
in completing each circuit; 2. Drinking the
water Of the well of Zem Fem, at which says
tradition, Hagar and Ishmael quenched
their thirst; 3. Praying at the station of
Abraham. marked by a stone, on which be
is said to have stood when be went 10 sacri-
fee his son; 4. Stopping and praying at
the place called Ell Maiden, the spot where
Solomon stood to see mortar mixed for bull
ding the temple; 5. Running seven times
between Mount Safa and Merwa, within
the limits of the city, in commemoration of
Hagar's anxious search for water for her
self and her son: 6. Repairing on the 9th
day Of the month to Mount Ararat, about
twelve miles from Mecca, after morning
prayer. Mahomedan tradition says that on
this hill Adam built temple, and Mahom-
ct performed his deyotions; !. On the fol-
lowing day the Pilgrims all 60 in body to
the Valley of Mouna, aud there sacrifice
propitiary victims; they also cut their hair
and nails, devoutly burying the portions cut
of. After remaining two days at Mouua,
they again visit the temple of Mecca, and
then prepare for their departure.
