Canada, tribes of children with their

to the dining-room with appetites that
would have done ample justice TO a
good meal, they were appalled, by the
heterogeneous mixture of babies.

sion of every table in the room. And
when at last space was cleared bv one

TO sit down TO soiled table linen and the
refuse of food left by the last relay of
babies. Meanwhile the respective
mothers glared at the intruders. and

The landlady followed her Disguised

A MOHAMMEDAN TRADITION.
The Miraculous Stone in the Great Mosque
at Mecca.


at Mecca.
In the Kaaba, the most ancient and
remarkable building of the great
Mosque al Mecca. is preserved a
miraculous stone. with the print of
Abrsham's feet impressed upon it. 1t
is said, by Mohammedan tradition. TO
be the identical stone which served the
patriarch>as a scaffold when he helped
Ishmael to rebuild the Kaaba. which
had been originally constructed by
Seth, and was afterwards DESTROYED bv
the dcluge. While Abraham stood
upon this stone il rose and sank with
him as he built the walls of the sacred
ediiice. The relic is said to be frar-
ment of the same gray Mecca stone of
which the whole building is con-
structed. in this respect differing from
the famous black stone brought TO
Abraham and lShmael by the angel
Gabriel, and built into the northeast
corner of the exterior wall Of the
Kaaba, which is generally supposed to
be either a meteorite or fragment of
volcanic basalt. 1t is supposed to
have been originally jacinth of daz-
cling whiteness. but to have been made
black as ink by the touch of sinful
man, and that it can only recover its
original purity and brilliancy Al the
day of Judgment. The millions of
kisses and touches impressed by the
faithful have worn the surface consid-
erably: but, in addition to this. traces
of cup-shaped hollows have been OBJ
served on it. There can be no doubt
that both the relics associated with
Abraham are of high antiquity. and
may possibly have belonged to the pre-
historic worship which marked Mecca
as a sacred site long before the fol-
lowers of the Prophet had set UP their
shrine there BldckrOod'S Hagazine.

WHY he WAS AFFECTED.
Buying Troasseaa from the Man She Ono,
Discarded.


Let me tell you one thing abou,
shopping, dear reader. There was q
clerk behind the counter in the white
goods department of q dry goods store.
He had the air of foreign nobleman,
with bewitching admixture of the
American dude. The very sight OF
him was enough to conjure up halo OF
romance around his darling, curly little
head. In front of that same counter,
seated placidly on a stool, was a dis
tinguishedly fashionable young woman.
She was making a selection of under
clothing; and anybody familiar with
the beauty, intricacy and cost of the
garments now worn by out-and-oui
swell bellies can understand when saw
that she seemed TO be buying every.
thing that struck her fancy, that she
was indeed purchasing literally. But
il wasn't possible, / thought, that q
visibly growing emotion on the part OF
the pretty clerk was due to the magni-
tude of the sales. No, nothing directly
connected with mere trade could have
so stirred the depths of his delicate
soul. He got worse and worse. His
hand quivered. his eyes filled with
tears. his replies TO her casual ques-
tons grew more incoherent. and fin
ally. with sigh that almost rent his
moderate bulk, and a grip of his in
finitessimal forehead between his
trembling palms, he dashed out of the
room.
What in the name of goodness Is
the matter with the fellow" / in
CURED of the superintendent of the de-
partment after he had detailed another
clerk TO attend TO the fair customer.
''On the positive quiet he replied.
81 don't mind telling you. The Young
man is a rejected sutton of the lady.
She is going to be married to another.
She is purchasing bridal outfit. To
take an active share in the making up
of her trouSseau was more than he
could stand. See?"-C Cincinnati En-

empowers the capitol board to

tension of time on account of the
change. 1t is on this point that the
