,ple, but also over the whole Mohammedan

nople, but also over the whole Mohammedan
world.
1t is 6 o'clock P. NJ. as I write, and 100,-
00O, 900 Mohammedan stomachs, scattered
from the wilds of North China to the tropi-
cal regions of Central Africa, are bowling
with hunger. One hundred million
parched tongues are now scrap
ing against the dry roofs of lOO,-
100000 mouths, and 1 doubt not
that something like 2OO, 5000 eyes are
anxiously watching the going down of the
setting sun. The moment it drops behind
the west these millions will grab for the
food that has been prepared for them and
for the next hour or so the fasting will be
turned into feasting. The nights of Con-
stantinople are now nights of revelry. The
Koran does not prohibit the Turk from eat
ing what he pleases after sunset and the
people gorge themselves to make up for the
fast of the day. The city is lighted at night
and crowds throng the streets. All the
cafes and eating houses are open and the
lemonade peddler and the sweet meat man
are out in all their glory. The Turks are
very hospitable and during Ramazan they
give many dinner parties. Such as are
wealthy enough to do without work stay up
the whole night in order that they may the
better sleep through The fasting hours Of the
morrow.
THE MOSQUE OF SANTA SOPHIA.
1t is time for religious observance as
well as pleasure. There are services at all
the mosques every evening, and all the men
go to prayers. The mosques are illuminated
and the hundreds of minarets which rise
high above the somber city of Stamboul are
girdled with light, and between them are
stretched great figures of fire, made by
stringing countless lamps upon wires.
Here is one composed of gigantic letters,
forming the Turkish word for God or
"Allah." There is one representing can
non hundred feet long, and between The
towers of another mosque hangs mammoth
star and crescent of fire.
There are between 200 and 300 MOSQUES in
Constantinople, and the Ramazan ceremo-
mics in these are most interesting to the
stranger. l witnessed them in the largest
mosque of the world last night. This was
the mosque of Santa Sophia, which was
built as Christian church in the Fourth
century and which was for ages the finest
Christian church in the world. 1t took 100
architects to superintend its construction
and 10000 masons worked upon it at the
same time. 1t had doors of ivory, amber
and cedar, and its altar was made OF precious
stones embedded in gold and silver 1t
was decorated with beautiful paintings,
which the Turks destroyed when they took
possession Of Constantinople, and its roof
has still enough mosaic to carpet an acre
field. The great temples of antiquity have
been robbed to build this church. Within it
there are four pillars OF green granite, which
were taken from the Temple of Diara at
Fphesus. and there are other columns
from the temples of Thebes, Athens,
Rome and Alexandria. If you
will take q two-acre held and plant
within it a forest OF columns, rooted with a
dome bigger and grander than that OF the

THE UPPER BERTH BEST.

A Pullman Conductor Can't Understand
Why People Don't Want It.
Chicago Tribune.l
A Pullman sleeper conductor: Every
body who wants berth in a sleeper wants
the lower berth. have been in the en-
ploy of the company for IA years, and I
have never yet had an application for an
upper berth. OF course, the upper berth is
not SO easy of access as the lower, but if
you don't mind climbing to the upper berth
you will at once admit, after the night is
over, that it is the more comfortable of the
two. The ventilation is better and you
are not so close to the rumbling noise. You
are more private than you are in lower
berth. and in case of accident you have a
chance of coming out on top. In hot
weather the upper berth is cooler, than the
lower.
The lower berth, as you know, is made up
from the cushioned seats, which are of warm
material. have never known man to
fall out of an upper berth. I think if the
company would make a difference of Halt
dollar in favor of the upper berth it would
soop be in demand. But believe the Pull
man company never makes any difference
in the charges.

Capitol at Washington, hang thousands oi
lamps in the air between the dome and the
floor, scatter richly carved pulpits about
various parts of the building, put immense
fountains here and hang gigantic Turkish
inscriptions there, you may have mazeo
idea of how the mosque of Santa Sophia
looks when entering. You will wander Tor
hours through the corridors of its columns,
finding new beauties at every step. You
will note that the great walls are lined with
precious marbles, and that the cornices and
the freizes of the arches are OF glideo
bronze. At night, when the thousands ol
lamps are lighted, when great stars of flame
float in the air between the dome and the
floor, when every pillar and every alcove is
ablaze, and when the various galleries are
walled with fame, the wonders OF the
mosque take on a new grandeur. which,
added to the picturesqueness OF the Wor-
shippers themselves, make Ramazan
night in Santa Sophia one of the greatest
sights in the world.
A WONDERFUL SCENE.
By the liberal use of backsheesh, accom-
panied by nv Mohammedan guide, bo-
taine6 admission to the gallery OF Santa
Sophia last night. 1t was 9 o'clock when L
arrived and the acres of floor below me were
covered with worshipers. In long regular
lines, with their faces toward Mecca, sitting
on their knees were at least 8, 900 Mohamme-
dams. In turbans and gowns with their
bare, or stocking feet looking up at the gal
lerv they formed long lines of curious color
on the white mats away down there under
the floating flames. From the back of
the church came the shrin voice
of the Imam who was leading the
devotions. 1t was wonderful tenor
which penetrated the remotest recesses OF
the vast mosque, and in response to which
these !, 900 turbaned men rose and fell like
clockwork in their devotions. They moved
as one man, and when they sunk to their
knees the striking of 10000 legs upon the
floor made noise like the rumbling OF
cannon in the distance, and when they
bowed their heads to the floor the sound
came up as though it had been made by the
fall of some great weight rather than by the
touch of 1000 heads. In the front OF each
worshiper was placed his shoes, and at the
close of the services each Mohammedan took
these in his hands and walked with them
out of the mosque.
A faithful Mohammedan, he prays five
times every day and he does not care for his
surroundings. At the hours of prayer
Mohammedans will begin their devotions
in the midst of crowd. They will stop
their business transactions, and whether In
the store or field, they will drop down OF
their knees and pray. 1 remember entering
a rug bazaar in Alexandria and calling
upon gray-bearded turbaned Turk while he
was engaged in his devotions. He was
standing on a rug in the back part of the
store looking toward Mecca and mumbling
the Koran. He must have seen me as l
entered with party of Americans. and
though he knew intended to buy, he paid

and ate lunch there before coming back.
Cart loads of provisions were carried to his
palace in this part of the city and the mo-
ment that the sunset cannon fired, himself
and his ministers began their feast.
This fast of Ramazan is most severe on
the laboring classes of the Turks. Forced
to work in the hot sun all day without food
they become almost famished by sunset, and
their eyes sometimes bulge from their
sockets as they watch the approach of even
ing. The Turks are inveterate smokers, and
l note that their desire for the cigarette or
the water pipe often surpasses their longing
for food. At about the time for the firing
of the evening gun if you will stand upon
the bridge at Constantinople. you may see
hundreds of boatmen with matches in their
hands and cigarettes held up ready to light
the moment that the cannon is heard. You
will see their food before them, but you will
seldom see them touch either before the
gun goes off. A Mohammedan who: would
eat publicly during Ramazan would be sure
to lose caste with his fellows, and If the

was q, wee, little chap at first, covered with
light brown iur as glossy as plucked seal,
with two very large and very brown eyes
and just the suggestion of tail. Although
the sea lion is as much at home in the water
as on the land, his natatorial accomplish
ments are solely artificial. They must be
acquired just as child learns how to walk.
In the case of our little friend, he was
allowed to spend the first two days of his
existence resting on the stone edge of the
pond, getting acquainted with his sur
roundings and alternately doing in the
warm sun and tugging away at his mothers
breast. During the third day his mother
began her first attempt to make sea lion
of him. As cat lifts her kitten with
her teeth by the nape Of the neck, so she
picked up her baby and gently dipped it
into the water. If the present health and
future usefulness of an ordinary infant
may be judged from the strength OF Its
lungs, the baby sea lion promises to be a
veritable prodigy. His cries rose above
the din OF the other animals and reused
sympathetic growl from the inmates Of the
far-of bear pit.
HE DID NOT LIKE IT.
He screamed and splashed, cried and
kicked; all to no avail When his mother
decided the lesson had been long enough,
and not before, she lifted him out and re-

pairs that will breed in captivity are ex-
tremely rare, aud these little twins are the
first that have ever been born in America.
The adult male has long horns, and is dark
gray in color; the female is bright red. The
parents are tall, shapely animals, with deli
cate limbs and a stately carriage. The
twins are male and female, and have used
the time since their birth in June in aequir-
ing height without the usual angilarity of
most growing deer. They are now nearly
three feet tall, and the male is exceedingly
proud of a small pair of horns just budding
from his forehead. The twins are worth $3.50
each at the present time, and within few,
months their value will be increased TO $500 I

A PECULIAR CUSTOMER

DR.. smythe, in Globe-Democrat.l
A few days ago a man called on me and
asked me to pull one of his teeth. When I
told him to open his mouth and show me
which was the aching tooth. he replied that
he never had toothache in his life but that
be was sick and had been advised to consult
dentist There was something so original
in this that pressed him for an explana-
tion, and finally learned that he had con-
suited faith healer, who had seriously ad-
vised him to have sound tooth extracted

failed, and he went away in search of some
dentist who, as he politely put it, would
take his money and not use his mouth quite
so freely" I do not know whether he found
one, but I hope not.

Gus people on the stage for long time, Dut
am bound to admit that I have never
known anything more remarkable than the
treatment Miss Anderson received here last
year."
The notion of writing at suoh length
about Miss Anderson came after talk L
had yesterday with California lady who
returned Saturday on the Etruria. Her
family were originally from Louisville,
and she has been for eight years warm
personal friend OF Miss Anderson's. They
we're together for three days in Scotland,
just before the Etruria sailed, and hence
am in receipt of the latest news concerning
the actress. She talks, it would seem,
quite freely about her recent experience
here, and says that her first indications OF
collapse really came from the dancing In
"a Winters Tale" AS Perdita, the ac-
tress gave country dance in the third act.
In England it rarely got more than
one encore. Here there were seldom less
than six. 1t was wild frolic in the way
of a dance, and as audiences insisted
upon one encore after another. Miss Ander-
son was often carried in the excitement Of
the moment beyond her strength. This,
with the travel, reduced her weight nearly
IL pounds within four weeks after she had
landed in New York. Then came number
of unfriendly and jeering attacks on her re-
ligion by some papers in the West, followed
up by the widest sort of abuse. She was
utterly unprepared for it, and the effect was
severe. Now that she has recovered she
talks continually of her coming tour in
America year hence. What is surprising
is the amiability she displays toward the
people who made so much trouble for her
here. She has reason to complain, but she
does not. BLAKELY HALL.

placed him on the stone to dry. The next
day the lesson was repeated and the next,
until week was spent. Then she went a
step farther. She lifted him into the water
and let him go. When she saw he was
about to drown she dived in after him and
raised him upon her shoulders. At the end
of the second week he took to the water as
naturally as duck, and until he had ac-
uuired sufficient confidence to venture in
alone he made life burden to her by dis
turbing her maps, coaxing her with. all
manner of infantile caresses to join him in
his,..aquatic gambols. Now he is the most
enthusiastic and expert swimmer in the
pond.
The baby sea lion is the first that has even
been born in menagerie in America. A
number have come into the world while
their mothers have been in transit between
the Pacific coast and the East, but they have
never lived. He is worth $3.50 to any man
in the show business, and his value will in
crease irife as he grows older.
The most valuable of DR.. Conklin's new-
comers are the twin nylghaus. The nylghaus

ghaus are plentiful in that country, but

ga battle between spider and snake is
an unusual sight," said Mr.. Gus Haynes,
the jeweler, "and yet I saw such battle
once. 1t was in the fall of the year and
was out hunting squirrels with my brother
Dick and Jesse Butts. I went on the oppo-
site side of tree up which squirrel had
run, to shake bush and make him get on the
side were Dick and Jessee were, SO they
could get shot. heard rustling sound
among the leaves, and turning saw large,
gray spider running round and round upon
the leaves. In moment I saw what he
was after, small snake, about foot long.
The snake was coiled up on the leaves, his
head was lifted in the air, his little eyes
gleam11, his forked tongue shot swiftly
back and forth and he gradually moved his
body around so as to face his enemy. The
spiders feet pattered over the dead leaves as
he ran around the snake as if daring him to
uncoil himself. With a few short, quick
jumps the spider advanced upon the snake.
With q rapid motion the reptile struck at
the spider and he fell in full length upon
the leaves. Quick as he had been the spider
was quicker. With a sidelong leap he
evaded the snake, and before he recovered,
sprang upon his tail about three inches
from the end, into which his jaws were
buried.
"The snake seemed astonished, ran lit
tie way, then stopped, raised his tail in the
air and brought it down upon the ground as
if to shake the spider loose. The insects
hold was too strong, and then the snake be-
gan to fight for his life. Over and over on
the leaves he rolled. thrashing his tail upon
the grass and making franctic efforts to
strike the plucky spider. His efforts were
vain, for while he struggled the spider was
gnawing away at the reptiles tail. Sud-
denly the spider fell off to one side. the
snake scurried off into the grass leaving
three inches of his tail squirming on the
leaves. The spider eyed the wriggling tail
for moment, and then pouncing upon it,
disappeared with it in his hole beneath the
rustling leaves"

weary of exhibiting herself to the public
gaze and impartially makes friends with all

The baby Indian antelope is also a female
and differs largely from her cousins, the
nylghau twins, in the matter of size and
color. When full grown she will be the
size of goat and will have coat of red
