THE KORAN IN 4 SCOTCH
COURT.
In a recent action in Scotch

In a recent action in . Scotch
court. at the instance OF some Turk.
is,, sailors against the owners of .
vessel named the Silistria, the men
were sworn to tell the truth on the
Koran. Suitable preparations were
made in the way of providing water.
in which the witnesses might wash
their hands before taking the oath.
and the reason why water was not
used has Just TRANSFERRED 1t seems
that Mohammedans will not take
the oath with a printed copy OF the
Koran in their hands. and it was
consequently necessary to have
manuscript copy. The manuscript
copy of the sacred book was bor-
rowed from the Edinburgh Univer-
sity Library, in order to overcome
that difficulty; and. in reference to
it, it may be interesting to state that
it formerly belonged to Tippoo Sal
Lilo, from whom it was taken in the
early years of the present century,
and subsequently, presented by the
East India Company to the Univer-
sity. Having thus got ri OF the
difficulty about using printed
copy of the Koran. a fresh difficulty
arose. The Koran had not only
been handled by. "Infdel Chris
tians. but had been. placed on r
seat lower than q mans breast, and
had thus, in the eyes Of the Turks,
been detiled; and for this reason
they dispensed with the customary
! ceremony on such occasions, Of
washing their hands.

HOW MULES CAME INTO
FASHION.

Few of the farmers OF this conn
try are aware what debt of graft
tude they owe George Washington
for the introduction of mules into
general use for farm purposes.
Previous to 1888, there were very
few, and those of such an inferior
order as to prejudice farmers against
them as unit to compete with
horses in work upon the road or
farm. Consequently there was no
disposition to increase the stock;
hut Washington became convinced
that the intro iuction of mules gen.
orally among Southern planters
would prove to them n great bless
ing. rs they are less liable to dis
ease, and work upon shorter feed,
and are much less linble to lie in
jurcd than horses by careless SER
wants.
As soon MS it became known
abroad that tho illustripus Wash
] inston desired to stock his Mount
Vernon estate with mules, the King
of Spain sent him three from the
royal stables, and Lafayette sent
him three more from the Island o.
/ Malta.
The first wee Of n gray color, SIX
teen hands high, heavily made, and
of sluggish nature. The others
were about the same height, but
1.-THE and fiery. even to ferocity.
The two different sets of animals
gave him the most favorable oppor-
tunity of making improvements by
cross-breedinS, the result OF which
was that he produced some superb
mules, and the whole country was
all agog to breed some OF the same
sort, and they soon became quite
common. This was the origin of the
improved mules in the United
States.
There are now some OF the
third and fourth generations o.
the Spanish and Malta mules to bs
found in Virginia, and the great
benefits arising from their introduc:
ton TO this country are to be see,

MRS. CLINTON,S TEA PARTY.

The young wife's air of anticl-
pated triumph amused Mr.. Clinton,
who patted her rosy cheeks as he
answered: "A willfui woman must
have her way"
They had been married about a
year. The prosperous young man
took o fancy to The portionless
young girl, and asked her to be-
come his wife. So she had stepped
from the life of poorly paid school
mistress into q large, clegantly-ap-
pointed house of her. own. No more

But she remembered those trying
days in the past, and it made her
laree-hearted and charitable i'll her
new sphere.
Mr.. Clinton owned some houses
and had others in charge, ind il
took nearly all OF his time to attend
to their care and rental.
One building was let out 10
flats" aud on its topmost floor
lived o widow and her daughter. a
girl of sixteen. These were Mr..
Clinten's intended guests.
The invitation was sent and ac-
eepted. The young hostess spared
no pains in making preparations,
and when Mrs. Blumenthal and her
daughter. Aline, arrived, received
them herself, aud took them to the
