Was it little thing to break an en-

less than that. Many have taken back
pledges which were too hastily given,
over no more than the voice of a singer,

MoHAMMEDAN MOSQUES. In entering
a mosque you may keep on your hat,
but must take off your shoes or cover
them with socks or put on slippers, in
commemoration of the divine command
to Moses: Take the shoes from offthy
feet, for the ground ON which thou
standeth is holy" Slippers or sandals
of straw are always provided at the en-
trance OF the mosques, and must be
paid for. Women are seldom seen in
the mosques. The Koran does not COM
mand them to pray, and some Moham-
medan philosophers doubt whether
women have souls. Yet they are nc
cessary for the sensual bliss OF paradise,
where the humblest believer is allowed
$4,000 slaves and ~ wives, besides those
he had in this life, if he chooses to keep
them.

Astonishing Effect Of the Imagination.

A strange case is that Of Henry C.
Ershman, living near the boundary of
tue county, near Sweetwood, who is the
owner of considerable property. Up
to within several weeks ago he was
hale and hearty. Notwithstanding his
abundance of this worlds goods he
generally wore one suit Of clothes dur
ing the week and on Sunday. Several
weeks ago he was startled because he
imagined that a very offensive odor
either came from his ears or mouth or
the pores of the skin. He was greatly
alarmed, and imagined he was sinking
INTO galloping consumption, and was
gradually decaying. He was unable
to sleep. became hagard and emaciated,
and even his friends began to imagine
that his end was near at hand. He
dressed himself regularly, and was de-
tcrmined to keep on his feet, He
went into the fields and in the woods
determined to fight down his disease,
but wherever he went the same dread,
ful stencil and feeling came over him.
Finally, an old woodchopper met him
in the woods one day. The woodman
had long talk with him. and he stood
quite close to examine him. Then the
woodman asked the sick man for his
coat. twas examined. The woodman
carried it away twenty yards, and it
was discovered that the stencil followed.
The coat was Thoroughly examined, and
dead mouse was found in the lining.
The mouse had by some means gotten
in the lining of his coat and died there,
and its decaying body caused the un.
pleasant etiluvia. When this was
known tho sufferer gained courage, and
as he slowly realized what imagina-
ton had done, he rallied and was soon
on the road to health. Reading Penn

Suicide to Avoid Bother.

1t is related of Cinnamon that, hav-
ing lost his umbrella, he hanged. himself
to avoid the trouble of looking for it.
A suicide has just been committed in
Paris under circumstances equally
ludicrous and melancholy An honest
binder, employed more than twenty
years in Rcuen house, had been sent
up to the Paris Exhibition, his expenses
being provided out of the Lottery Fund
The poor fellow enjoyed himself i'm
mensely, and would doubtless have felt
grateful ever after to the Administration
which had provided him with sodelight-
full an entertainment for nothing. I'm
happily, however, workmen thus favored
are expected to draw up report of their
experiences for the Commissioners of
the Lottery. Now, the binder had no
sooner returned to his native city than
his literary labor began to weigh ON him
like a nightmare He was afraid he
should be expected togive a full account
of all the sections of the Exhibition,
with copious observations of the won
drous things contained therein. If he
did not do this he was convinced that
the Government would sue him for the
costs of his trip. 1t was to no purpose
that his comrades tried to cheer him up
and even offered to compose his repor
for him. Lesage-such was the miser
able mans name-lost his appetite, grew
morose and sullen, and one day dis
appeared from his home. His body wa
shortly afterward found in the Seine.
