The Bereayed Grandpapa.

'Isn't it prettyp" said little old man
rs he wheeled a baby carriage to the
place where q reporter of the World
was sitting in the park yesterday.
ut must be pretty" said the reporter,
looking into the carriage and seeing
creature, snugly nesting in a downy
nest, with its face covered by a delicate
lace veil.
The little old man was delighted, his
little old chin went twit-a-twit-a-twee,
and he chirped like a bird.
''They keep its face covered" he said,
with a sigh, '.since the little white
hearse drove away from the house the
other day. But p
The little old man stopped and looked
all around with his twinkling little eyes.
II will show its face to you sir, it's so
very, very pretty"
And the little old mans chin again
went twit-a-twee.
They will be angry" he continued;
shut I'm so proud OF its pretty face that
L must show it. .
Suddenly the little old man took the
lace that covered that baby's face in his
trembling fingers and the reporter pre-
pared to burst into EXPLANATIONS of de-
light, even if the face should prove to
be the homeliest face in the world.
Mustn't" a little child said, coming
from behind the bushes and Selling the
coat-tails of the little man. "Dandpa
mustn't"
1.-The flies will annoy Rose" gentle
girl of twelve said, joining the little
group and carefully replacing the lace.
Close observation showed a tear
trembling in the girls eye as the little
old man wheeled away the carriage,
with the little child dancing by his side.
4Oh, it's such deception" she ex-
claimed, burying her face in her hand.
'Baby Rose died last week." she con-
tinued, "and we are afraid to tell grand
pa, as his mind is weak and she was his
idol, so we put doll in the carriage,
closely veiled, so he cannot see its face,
and let him wheel it around. But it is
SO deceptive"
Just then the little old man paused.
left the little child with the carriage,
and came back to where the girl was
seated.
lie put his face close to hers and whis-
pered:
What was it," he asked, "that they
carried away in the little white hearseP"
The poor girl turned away her face.
Flowers" she said, "only flowers,
grandpa"
! IL WONDER" the little old man unused,
t'Why they all turn their faces away
when they tell me what they carried
away in the little white hearse."
Then he went to the carriage again
and chirped like the merry little old
man that he was.
FLOWERS, only flowers" the reporter
heard him murmur. as he wheeled the
doll away.-M y. World.

The Cactus.

The prickly pear, despised by foreign
ers, is, like adversely, not without its
uses. Indeed, / do not know what
Mexico would do without it in some in
stances. In the long. dry seasons,
when water is scarce, countless herds
of sheep and goats are kept alive by
splitting the leaves and allowing the
animals to suck the natural moisture
contained inside. The chief diet of
Mexican donkeys is not tin cans and
thistles, as elsewhere, but toasted
cactus, which their owners prepare by
holding the branches on a stick Git is

The Anmble Demon.


OF oil the fends that infest the
jungles, streets and saloons of largy
cities in search Of prey, the sociable fieno
is the most to be dreaded. BY the soci.
able flend we refer to that quiet familiar
demon who halts you on the streets in q
manner that causes you Ia infer that ne
has something to communicate to which
1t will be to your interest to listen.
After the persuasive demon has fastened
his tentacles on your coat collar or into
your buttonhole, it is almost impossible
10 shake him Off He never withdraws
on his own motion. Unlike the festive
Fourth of July pistol, he never hurts
anybody by going off prematurely. AS
soon as the affable demon has fastened
his tentacles on friend he slowly backs
that friend up against wall, thus
cutting off all chances of retreat. HAY
ing anchored his victim against wall,
he begins to climb up on him as if he
were ladder. The affable demon then
places his mouth within a few inches of
the victims nose, and begins to chew
him up. At least, to anybody across
the street who observes the upward and
downward motion of his jaw, it seems
as if the victim was being eaten up alive
by the fiend. The victim, however,
acquires great deal of information,
and perhaps some tobacco juice on his
shirt bosom. No matter how much he
may relax his features, the aflable
demon never relaXes his grasp. Time
is no object to him. He can hold out
all day. The traditional hooks of steel
with which a mother clings to her off
spring are weak and feeble compared to
the grasp of healthy sociable fiend.
The sole mission of the fiend's life IL
TO talk. If he had nobody to talk to he
would die. He is mistake of nature.
He was intended for fashionable
woman. Occasionally the afl'able demon
will quit victim before the vital spark
has fled. If, while he is sucking the
life blood out of victim, the fiend OBJ
serves a group of gentlemen chatting
together, he will quit the victim tempo
rarily to break up that group. He
creates more CONSERVATION over the
street than deputy Sheriff in search of
"a jury.
There are a number of remedies for
attacks OF tie socable fiend. The best
one is to thrust revolver down his
throat as soon as he opens his mouth,
and fire it off six consecutive times.
This mild sort of a remOnstrance pro-
dSces fine moral effect. Another
method to rescue victim from his de-
stroyer is on the cooperative plan. A
secret society, something like the Ma
sons is organized. The members
pledge themselves by fearful oaths to
see him in the clutches of this human
deviljsh. The usual plan is to rush up
and pretend to be collecting for
church or some such charitable pur-
pose. This causes the demon to relin-
quish his grasp, and then the rescuer
and The rescued flee around the corner,
and celebrate the victory over couple
of schooners. Ierds SiftingS.

Pilgrimage TO Mecca.

In view OF the fact that the French
Government is actually considering the
eXpediency of occupying the Holy City
of Mecca jointly with other civilized
Powers, in the hope of so controlling
the yearly pilgrimages thither as to pre-
vent the engendering and spread of
cholera epidemics, the New York Times
! notes some curious facts connected with
t,is custom.
! This pilgrimage belongs to the class
Z of Ferd OF divine ordinances obligatory
upon every Monammedan once during
life. None of ,itheir sex are exempted,
unless by reason of extraordinary pow
erty: even blind man is bound, if he
has means, to hire guide to take him
To the kaaba. Each one must take with
him not only sufficient means for his
| journey, but also something for charity;
and, moreover, he must, before his de-
parture, leave his family sufficient
means for support during his absence,
which sometimes even in these DAYS of
steamers an railroads, lasts year.
And so heinous is it considered to neg
iect this pilgrimage tina. the doctors at
one time discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of
putting al to death who refrained from
performing
On the other hand the Prophet has
promised the following heavenly graces
to all who piously make the journey:
"WhOsOever enereth Mecca shall de-
part therefrom pure as a newborn
child"
'One prayer at Mecca is worth 100,-
900 pra vers uttered elsewhere.
Zone day of fast at Mecca shall be
Weld worth /. fast of 100, 600 elsewhere"
Zone almsgiving at Mecca TO the
amount of but one dirhem shall be re-
corded in Heaven as equal to aims of
100000 dirhems
'And each single good action there
performed shall be held equal to 100, 900
good deeds wrought elsewhere. ~
Furthermore it is believed that all
who die in the neighborhood of Mecca,
or even of Medina, shall dwell in Para
disc, and that at the day of judgment
the cemeteries of the pilgrims will be
lifted up to Heaven. The Prophet
himself said that from the two cemeteries
OF Mecca 10000 dead will enter into
Paradise without having to render al.
account to God, and that each of these
may take with them into Heaven 10000
dead; ''their faces shall shine like the
full moon.n
The kissing of the Black Stone, which
has two eyes and a tongue and will at
the last day cry out to God the names of
all who have not kissed it; the circuit of
the Kaaba itself, built where angels
pitched the tent of God before man was
created, and whose gracious names
signifies the rounded smoothness of a
maiden's ankle; the pilgrimage to the
well Zem-Zem created by God to Stake
the thirst of Ishmael after Hadjira (Ha-
gar) had run seven times from Sata to
Merouan, in memory whereof pilgrims
do still run seven times from one hill to
the other; the casting of twenty-one
stones at the hllock of Djemaral-el-
Aakaba entirely formed of stones thus
throwD) in memory of the stones flung
by Isaac at the Devil, together with
other curious ceremonies, all performed
with the same precision as inculcated by
Mohammed himself during his last visit
to the holy city.
