The Sultan's Morning Prayer.

The Sultan stands erect with his face
to the east and his feet on his praying
carpet, and placing the thumbs of each
hand under each ear, he spreads hi.
hands like wings, lifting his ears up
ward as if to catch any sound from
Heaven, and with his hands in this po-
sition must turn first to the right and
spit, then to the left, and then drop
ping his hands to his side hold them
rigid while he bends his knee and then
his whole body forward from his knees
until his forehead touches the floor
three times. He repeats his prayer in
this position and gets upon his feet
again without touching his hands to
the floor and again makes wings OF hi'
ears and again splits right and left, and
his prayer is over. Every Turk be-
lieyes he has two attendant spirits, one
good and one evil, and as he is not sure
which side the emissary of Shiatan has
pre-empted, he splits at both to make
sure.-Oitue Harper.

This pretty lake deserved a better
name. but the Indians have irrevocably
consecrated most of it to the devil, in
name. at least, writes q correspondent
from Dakota. There is a Devil S Heart,
a pretty wooded hill, a mountain, and
high for this region at three hundred
feet. Devils Tooth is rocky curiosity
for a stoneless country. and Devil 5
Backbone is the name of seam in one
of the lakeside hills. The very water
of the lake, clear and wave-capped. is
called the DEVILS Broth. Indians still
speak of its 'treacherous waters" for
legend has it that years ago. before the
white man came, two warlike tribes
met in canoes in mid-lake, and the
snirit of the waters swallowed them up
to a man. Ever since that day the red
man has Stunned the lake, and to this
