The Turk at Prayer.

Twelve o'clock is the hour OF prayer.
The call Of the "Muezzin a" il heard
from every minaret OF the hillside and Of
the valley beyond, which il Turkish
quarter of the town, and some amongst
the laborers respond to the call, leaving
work to rub their hands and feet with
earth in default OF water, according to
the injunctions Of the Koran. There is

are, OF course, quite inaudible. He
stands at first upright, with his arms
hanging down, his bare feet n little
apart; next, the hands are raised, open,
on each side Of the face, the thumbs
touching the lobe of the ear; this is the
introduction. The worshiper begins
prayer by placing his hands together,
the right uppermost then bows low
from the waist, his hands slightly spread
upon his knees; then raises himself fort

A few days after the terrible fire
which destroyed the Brooklyn Theater
one Of the police sergeants in the sta
tion-house adjoining the ruins had his
attention attracted by tho mournful
bowling Of n dog, Annoyed by the
sounds. ho on going to the door saw that
they proceeded from medium-sized
dog squatting at the gate that once did
service ut the main entrance TO the the
alter. The dog seemed to take no excep-
ton to his presence, and M the officer
approached, looked up Mt him wistful-
ly, and changed its howls into plaintiye
means, The sergeant patted the AMI
NAL and then returned to his chair.
Some nights afterward the same SER
geant saw tho dog again. Attention
being thus directed to the animal, its
movements were watched, and il was OBJ
served that not only did it visit the ruins
during the night at regular intervals,
but during the daytime also, and TINT
neither snow nor rain nor the most Sc
we're cold prevented its making itsrounds.
An attempt was then made to find M
owner for the dog, but all to no purpose,
and il was finally decided that the own
or must have been one Of the victims of
tho fire.
The dog soon became known rs the
"Theater Dog" and was kindly treated
by the police Of the First precinct, with
whom it soon came to be on most famil-
lar terms. In course of time it became
acquainted with the ways of the officers,
understood the fire alarms, and seemed
to comprehend when any important bust
ness was on hand. Thus it came to ac-
company the police to fires, on raids,
etc., until it almost became part of the
police machinery. Although over
seven months have elapsed since the fire,
the "Theater Dog" has never forgotten
the dead and still continues to make his
visits to the ruins. A few days ago when
an order was issued to kill all unmuz-
zled dogs found on the streets, the "The-
alter Dogs" safety was assured by the
present of IN elegant nickel-plated col
lar and muzzle. The collar bears the
Brooklyn Theater Dog,
Dec. s, 1876" The dog wears his hon
ors with dignity, and at the same time
meekly, for he is not of quarrelsome
or savage disposition, but appears glad
to receive kind word or gentle pat
from anybody.

Chinese FOrtune.Tellers.

These men carry on their profession in
the streets of the city wherever there is
the least available space. A mat is
spread on the ground with n stick at
each corner, around which stripe of
cloth is cast to form an Enclosure for the
fortune-teller and his hcn-kept in a
small bamboo cage. BY his side is an
open box containing number of very
small rolls of paper, with sentences or
single characters written on them. In
front of him is a long row of sixty OF
more small pasteboard envelopes, which
also hold single characters of divination
sentences. A little board painted white,
for writing on, and the milestone and
pencil, are at hand and ready for use.
An inquirer who wishes to consult him
squats down on his heels outside the in
closure, pays three cash Quarter of a
cent?, and tells his story, stating what
he wishes to know. He is told to pick
up roll from the box, which, having
been done, he hands it to the man, who
unrolls it and writes its contents on the
board. The door of the cage is then
opened, and the hen marches forward to
the rows of envelopes; after peering
over them inquisitively, she picks out
one and let's it fall to the ground. A
few grains Of rice are put into the cage,
and she returns. The envelope is open
ed, and the contents also written down;
from these two inscriptions the con-
suffers prospects are announced. The
hen is regarded as the arbiter of fate,
incapable of mortal motive in the selec-
ton of the roll, and is, therefore, sup
posed to give the decree of fate, without
the possibility of collision or misrepre-
sentation of any kind.
