Taking Off the Shoes.

In Syria people take off their caps or
turbans when entering house or visit
ing friend, but they always leave their
shoes at the door. The reason is that
their floors are covered with clean mats
and rugs, and in the Moslem houses the
men kneel on the rugs to pray, and press
their foreheads to the floor, so that it
would not be decent or respectful to
walk in with dirty shoes and soil the
SHADY on which they kneel to pray.
They have no foot mat or scrapers, and
it is much cheaper and simpler to leave
the shoes, dirt and all, at the door.
1t is very curious to go to the Syrian
school-houses and see the piles of shoes
at the door. There are new, bright red
shoes and old, battered shoes, and kob
kobs and black shoes, and sometimes
yellow shoes. The kob kobs are wood
en- clogs, made to raise the feet out of the
mud and water, having a little strap
over the toe to keep it on the foot. You
will often see little boys and girls run
ming down steps and paved streets on
these dangerous kob kobs. Sometimes
they slip, and then down they go on
their noses, and the kob kohs fly off and
go rafting over the stones, and little Ali
or Yusef, or whatever his name is, be-
gins to shout, eva Imme va Imme!'
("Oh, my mother!") and cries just like
little children in other countries.
But the funniest part is to see the
boys when they come out of school and
try to find their shoes. There will be
fifty boys, and, of course. a hundred
shoes, all mixed together in one pile.
When school is out the boys make arush
for the door. Then comes the tug of war.
A dozen boys are standing and shutting
on the pile of shoes, looking down. kick
ing away the other shoes, running their
toes into their own, stumbling over the
kob-kobs, and then making a dash to
get out of the crowd.
Some times shins will be kicked. and
hair pulled, and tarbooshes thrown off.
and great screaming follow, which will
cease when the teacher comes with
Asia, or stick, and quells the riot.
That pile of shoes will have to answer
for good many school-boys' fights and
bruised noses and hard feelings in Syria.
You will wonder how they can tell their
own shoes. So do I. And the BOYS Of
ten wear off each others shoes BY mis-
take or on purpose, and then you will
see Selim running with one shoe on and
one of Ibrahim's in his hand. shouting
and cursing 2brahims father and grand
father until he gets back his lost prop

Warm from the touch What gave the glow

The hani, that when the light wind stirs
Reproves those laughing locks Of hers.

Terrible and Fatal Rail Collision.

PANA, Ills, Feb. GA terrible and fatal ac-
cident occurred ten miles northwest Of this
city at Owancco yesterday evening. The con-
struction train on the E. & NJ. railroad was
backing towards Owancco at twelve miles an
hour in order to give the passenger train free
passage. Workmen on the train had been lay
ing new rails and taking up old ones, and had
fiat car full of iron just in front of the
caboose. Twenty-Five or thirty workmen were
crowded into the caboose. The passenger was
coming at an unusual speed, in order to make
up lost time, and the two collided with a
frightful shock. The engine of the passenger
train went through the caboosc, pushing the
occupants among the masses of iron on the
fiat car, killing three outright-Allen Jones,
w. W. Sattock and H. McPherson-and wound
ing the following: Louis Sclby, conductor of
the passenger train, seriously; Jacob Hoadley,
Chas. McGowan, F. Green, Owen Gleeson,
Chas. Wall, Donald Donahue, Jno Herdman
aud Chas. Washer. Lockhart, conductor of
the construction train, is responsible for the
accident
