KNOWS THE KORAN BY HEART

The khedive of Egypt can recite it from
one end to the other, and the average Mo
hammedan ruler has much better knowl-
edge of his bible than have our presidents
or the kings of Europe of the scriptures
The churches of the Mohammedans, known
as mosques, are the finest buildings of the
east, and they rank among the great archi-
tectural structures of the world. There is
mosque is Cairo which covers more than
an acre, whichis made entirely of alabaster,
much of which is as beautifully veined and
as transparent as Mexican onyx The
floor of this mosque is carpeted with elegant
Turkish rugs and / attended it one night
when the khedive was among its worship
ers. 1t is one of the most beautiful mos
ques in the world and it is fair represent
alive of "a great Mohammedan place of
worship.
There are many different sects among
the Mohammedans but they are more liberal
in their treatment of each other than are
the Christian In this alabaster mosque
a half dozen different sects were worship
ing, and in one part of it the dancing der
wishes were whirling through their relig-
ious gymnastics. These men and boys had
dark yellow faces, worn thin by fasting
They were dressed in long white skirts,
fastened in at the waist with black belts
and on their heads We're high sugar-loaf
hats. One of them played the flute, another
the tambourine, and the others after

Damascus was built in In memory of Christ,
and Damascus is one of the fanatical of Mo
hammedan cities They look upon Adam as a
pattern of human perfection and they
believe that the Garden Of Eden was
originally located in heaven. When Eve
seduced Adam in eating the apple our
parents were cast out of the Garden OF
Eden and fell to the earth. Adam landed
on mountain in Ceylon and Eve dropped
down near Mecca. Adam for his sin spent
two hun6 red years in looking for Eve and
at last he found her in Arabia, and the two
lived in mountain there together until
they died. This mountain is still known
as Adams Mount. The Mohammedans
consider Abraham a great prophet. He is
called in the Koran the friend of Goa.
They call Moses the speaker Of God and
they have, all told, l24, 900 prophets. The
greatest of these are Adam, Abraham,
Jesus and Mahomet. The Koran includes
charity and brotherly love. 1t prohibits
lending money at interest and it fixes the
general laws of the Mohammedan world.
1t inculates belief in future state, in
the heaven of which each devout believer
shall have four beautiful and ever young
maidens to wait upon him and to administer
to his wants. 1t is in many of its chapters
so much like the Bible that it is believed
that Mahomet got a large part of its teach
ings from the Scriptures and from the
Jews with whom he was acquainted.

TO SLEEP THROUGH THE DAY

in order to get rid of the fast. The Sultan
himself keeps Ramazan and when he went
the other day to kiss the mantle of Moham-
met, he remained in STEAMBOAT until sunset,
and ate a lunch there before coming back
Cart loads of provisions were carried to
his palace in this part of this city and the
moment that the sunset cannon fired, him
self 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 cigar
cite 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 can
non is heard. You will see their food be-
fore them, but you will seldom see them
touch either before the gun goes off. A
Mohammedan who would eat publicly dur
ing Ramazan would be sure

KISSING THE HEM OF THE ROE

of the chief held out their arms and began
to whirl slowly around to the music As
they continued to whirl one of them sang
verses from the Koran and at intervals
there were prayers by the chief. After the
prayers were over the whirling became
more rapid until they at last went around
at the rate,of sixty revolutions a minute At
this time their skirts stood out like those of
ballet dancer, they became red in the face
and l noted that one of the boys fell to the
ground and was carried off in fit The
bowling dervishes are even more horrible
and there is great society of these at Con-
stantinople. l cannot describe their relig-
ious gymnastics, but they work themselves
into a frenzy and in the interior of Turkey
where they are away from the restraint Of
the western civilization they often take
knives and cut themselves and each other
in their religious ecstacy. They often go
into epileptic fits and foam at the mouth,
and they are as dirty a set of long haired
heather as you will find in the world.
They are, however, the cranks of Moham
mechanism and are not fair sample of the
Mohammedan world.

THE MoHAMMEDAS RELIGION,


as it is observed in the east, has more good
in it than many Christians suppose. Its
followers are by no means savages and its
teachings are such that we could in some
instances follow them with profit. TheKoran
prohibits the drinking of spurious liquors
and the Mohammedans, where they have
notibeenicontaminated with,our civilization,
are total abstainers. They not only abstain
themselves but they make their neighbors
keep from drinking, and 1 was told last
night how Constantinople merchant lost
his life by his love for liquor. He had gone
to the interior to buy rugs and had located
in one of the towns there. He became
drunk and he was called by his brothers at
the mosque at which he worshiped and
warned that he must reform or die, as he
was bringing reproach upon the Moham-
medan religion. He promised to reform
and did SO for time. He fell, however,
after few weeks and shortly after this he
discovered that plot was laid to kill him.
He again repented, renowned his sin in the
mosque and then prepared to leave the
town. He took a large amount of goods
with him and opened business in another
city some miles away. Shortly after his
arrival he again took to drinking and as
soon as he did so he was assassinated. 1t is
supposed that he was killed by the mule
driver, who, coming from his old town, had
heard Of his promise to reform, and who
killed him for the good of the church.
THE MoHAMMEDASs BELIEVE IN GOD
and the prophets. They look upon Christ
as the great prophet and believe that Ma
homet and Christ will act together as the
judges of all mankind at the last day. One

he paid no attention to me. He continued
his kneeling down and rising up for fully
fifteen minutes and / sat down and waited
until he was through. There were many
other rug establishments near by, and he
must have known that he stood the chance
of the loss of a sale by not attending to me.
This made no difference, however, TO him.
It would be a curious thing to see a mer-
chant in New York or Chicago stop his
sales in the middle of the day and drop
down on his knees and pray IN the presence
of his customers.
The Mohammedans are much less
ashamed of their religion than we are.
They are, in fact, proud of it, and you
can count the
MoHAMMEDAN CONVERSIONS TO CHRISTIANITY
BY HUNDREDS.
1t is only in the rarest of instances that
missionaries are able to make any impress
sion upon the followers of the prophet and
such conversions that Christians make in
Mohammedan countries are, as rule, from
other sects than Mohammedan ones. Speak
ing of the Mohammedan observance of
religious duties, all of the officials of the
Sultan keep Ramazan, and when l called
upon the secretary of state yesterday in
the Sublime Porte, which contains the
great government offices of Turkey, l did
not see single clerk smoking or drinking
coffee. The secretary of state, who is one
of the leading men of Turkey and who
ranks here as Blaine does to President
Harrison, asked me if l would not smoke
and I. thinking nothing of Ramazan, as
scented. When the tobacco came in l asked
him why he did not take cigarette and he
replied that it was against the rule of his
religion and begged me to excuse him as it
was Ramazan. Upon this l refused to
smoke myself and on the same ground re-
fused the coffee, which was afterwards
brought to me. In calling at big Moham-
English quarter of Constantinople, at noon
the other day, 1 found the class rooms
deserted and the professors absent, and
was told that it being Ramazan, the pupils
were trying

TO LOSE CASTE WITH HIS FELLOWS,

and if the Sultan dared to act contrary to
the Koran he would be liable to dethrone-
ment and assassination. AS it is, the only
time he comes out of his palace is when he
must perform his weekly religious worship
at the mosque.
The Turks read the Koran fully as much
as we read the Bible. 1t is common sight
in going through the bazaars to see one
man reading the Koran to his friends and
nearly every merchant has copy of this
MOhammedan bible beside him and you will
see dozens of merchants reading to them
selves during the intervals of trade They
take pride in having good KOrans, and the
Korans used by the Sultan are bound in
silver and beautifully illuminated. In the
tOmbs of the Sultans where they lie in
marble sarcophagi, inside of fences of
silver, their Korans are preserved with
them and looked over several volumes of
the finest of these the other day. The
guide in charge, whose hands are washed,
will not permit Christian to touch them,
but he turns the pages and shows you their
beauties. They are as fine as any of the
wonderful manuscripts made by the monks
of the middle ages and they are painted by
hand upon parchment. The Sultan

It will con tain chapters upoH the following sub jects: Churches, schools, climate, soil towns, topography, manufacturing and mercantile interests. timber interests navigahle streams, transportation, Stu art Springs. fruit culture, experimental farming, social and political liberty taxation, value of property, financial condition of county, land rental rates. biographies of leading citizens, and a general line of historical and deScrip- tive work There may be illustrations of residences, farms, etc. This will depend upon the public. It is not sought to make any considerable money out of the book, but rather to counter act to some extent the false misrepre- sentations of the enemies of Arkansas The public, without regard to political afllliation, is invited to lend their aid. both as to data and by their pocket books. Mir. w. r. Adams will solicit data and subscriptions. The number of copies and the number of pages of the book will depend upon the public.
 In this connection we must say that this county is conspicuous. Made so by Tan unfortunate and unavoidable affair in May last. Thousands of mis- representations have been made, and have only been contradicted by the local press. This has been done thor onghlv, hut people are preiudiced. and do not believe the home newspaper. This being true, it belooves every citi- zen to aid in publishing a true history of the county. IL seems to be impera- tive.
