The present sultan, Sidi Mulai Hassan,
is an old fashioned Oriental despot. He
is 81 years old, though he has only reigned
since he was 40 OF course he is q Moham-
medan and direct descendant Of the
prophet, but the mothers in his family
have always been black slaves; conse-
quently he is very dusky.
1t may be interesting to Americans to
know, in view of the possible difficulties
with this barbarian, that he as since this
occasion completely reorganized his army,
and has armed his infantry with Martini
Henry rifles, his cavalry with Winches-
tiers, and has made purchases of krupp
guns. He has also purchased machinery
for the manufacture of guns and cart
ridges, but his ambition in this matter
outstrippcd the mechanical skill of his
people, for they didn't know how to use
the machinery after they got it. The sui

Scotchman, rs his name indicates, and it
is he who advised the sultan in the reor-
ganization of his army. In the event of a
war, if the United States should not raise

The Wear and Tear of Life.
From the New York World.1

The Norristown Herald opens vast
field for speculation by publishing the
estimates of some one that piece of wood
of the size Of a month-old baby would be
worn away one-half in six months if
handled as much as the average baby is.
1t ventures its own opinion that if the
woman who handles the baby were made
of wood she would be worn away altogeth-
er in six months. Following out this line
of thought, it is easy to see that if an edi-
tor were made of wood, in six months he
would be sitting on the base of his neck,

the town. After trial of three days, he
was convicted of trespass and his head
chopped off and hung on pole in the

for his followers, From this time on they
were quiet. though continually menacing
and watching for an opportunity to attack

In 1868 the first church was built it
was wooden building occupying the
present site of Center church on the
Green and the forerunner Of the present
edifce. 1t was fifty feet square with a
pyramidal roof surmounted by q tower,
which was arranged as sort Of fort,
where were placed men to watch. lest the
Indians should interrupt the services.
The city militia were given seats near
each door to be in readiness. So at an
early hour Sunday morning, at the call of
the town drummer, the citizens, well
armed, ventured to church. As no stoves
were allowed in the church, even as late
as 1920, the men carried foot stoves for
the women. During the short intermis-
sion the worshipers would run home,
get warm, eat a lunch and return to
SILVER and hear the rest of the sermon.
The present Green was used as ceme-
terry from 1888 to 1706. 1t was sur
rounded with high board fence, painted
red. Here and in the crypt of Center
church lie the remains of many distin-
guished men in church and state, litera-
ture and politics, ornaments to the little
struggling colony in former days and now
honored by their descendants. Their
funerals were simple affairs and yet
peculiar. The bodies were borne on the
shoulders of the bearers, who were always
furnished with wine before and after the
services, to strengthen their nerves, it is
supposed.

On the 9Th of July. 1910, two ships OF

on the evening of that day the redcoats

The state house was first located in
New Haven in 1868. This building was
soon followed by the present one, which,
having outlived its usefulness, is now
only cherished as relic of the past, and
admired as one of the finest pieces of
