Moha mi edan Women Look for a II Hsavrn
l. ke That Prepared for Men.

About thirty or forty women. in their
house attire. but wearing the long,
white veil drapcd round the head,
face. and shoulders. wives. daughters,
sisters. servants. slaves. and children
white. brown. bronzed. and black
were ranged in kneeling rows, their
fore heads touching the ground, their
attitude the embodiment of self-abase-
mcnt in the presence of the one invisi-
bic God they adore. In the dim light
these PROSTATE heaps. shrouded in
their white wells, looked ghostly enough
says a writer. in Temple Bur. The
whole scene was mute and silent rs 4
dream. Only at intervals, from be-
hind screen. the voice of the priest
broke the stiffness and proclaimed. in
weird. nasal. monotonous chaut. that
Allah was the one and only God.
Sometimes the veilcd figures rose to
their feet with one accord-eastern
women are very supple if they are very
fat-then. as the name of Allah fell up
on their ears. they flung themselves
down with the same uniform manner
and, rocking themselves to and fro aft
cr the manner of worshipers in a
mosque. laid their faces in the dust.
My friend. the pasha's daughter. was
good enough to sit upon the staircase
by my side and act as chorus instead of
joining in The performance. After she
had explained that Noise" and Jesus
Christ and 'Mohammed" were all ac-
knowledged by her faith to have been
divinely inspired. but not divinely
born, she proceeded to expound the
Mohammedan theory of paradise.
But interrupted her-.I have
been told that there is no paradise for
the souls of Mohammedan women.
Your husbands are to have houris TO
console them for your loss" 1t did
one good to see the scorn of the pasha's
daughter at this suggestion. She inn
parted it in Turkish to the blandiy
smiling Mrs. Djevdet Pasea. aud the
pair laughed until the blue robe of the
latter slipped off her broad shoulders
for the twentieth time. When they
had done laughing they informed me
that there was no greater mistake than
to suppose that Mohammed excluded
women from paradise. That his own
daughter Fatima had been the great
cxpounder of the koran. which was
written to gui,le women to paradise by
the same path us the men were to fol-
low. That their husbands had better

CLEVER DIAMOND SMUGGLING.
Csc Which Was Made IF Skye Terrier T.,
Cheat Uncle Sam

"Talking about smuggling reminds
me of Il trick | SAW resorted to by a
passenger on one of the big ocean
steamships a couple of years ago. :"
said Il loquaciouS commercial traveller
to Jctoeicrs' Weekly man. You
know there is duty on diamonds. and
one of the passengers had three large
stones. worth several thousand dollars,
which lie had purchased in London.
The problem OF how to evade paying
duty on the stones worried him con-
siderabIy, but ut last he evolved plan
and Il few days before the steamer ar
rived in New York he proceeded to
execute it.
The chief officer had little Skye
terrier and the passenger after con-
siderable coaXiug induced him to sell
the dog. As soon rs the smuggler
gained possession of the animal he
tied him up and gave him nothing to
eat until just before we were to 90
ashore. He then procured some fat
biece little larger than walnut
made hole in it, into which he
placed one of the diamonds.
"A dog will generally bolt piece of
fat without chewing it aud. of course.
a diamond will 90 down with it. The
hungry dog swallowed the meat. as his
owner expected he would. and in a
short time the three diamonds were
safely slowed away in his interior.
The diamond smuggier had no diff
Guilty in evading the vigilance of the
custom-housc officials, and was soon
on his way uptown. leading the dog
by string.
Il met him again in a few days
afterward and asked him how he re-
covered the stones. Easily enough, )
he replied. AS soon as got home I
shot the dog and found the diamonds
after Il short search. OF course. | was
sorry for the dog. but dogs are cheap
and the tariff on stones is high, and /
never allow sympathy to interfere with
business. "

BOOBIES. SURE ENOUGH.
Birds That Catch Fish tor the Negroes Of
the African Coast.

A number of interested spectators
were standing at the seawall at North
Beach watching party of youngsters
who were angling for mud porgies
through holes bored in the pianking
The fish bit quite eagerly. and several
were pulled throngh the holes and laid
ON the wharves within few minutes.
Finally one of the bystanders. turning

where the natives do it by proxy"
How is that?" inquired the other.
Didn't you ever hear of it; no?
Well. I'll tell you. One day we were
cruising just above ST. Paul de Loan

up to his eye as he looked toward the

heard about the natives making use of
these stupid birds for such purpose,
but had never seen it, so | motioued TO
the man at the wheel to keep the ship
away. and we ran down toward the
canoes. 1t was lovely day. and we
had just light breeze from the north
ward and westward. with sea rs
smooth as a mill pond. We were soon
near enough 10 see the fishing opera
ton distinctly.
There was a flock of boobies how
ering around and once in while one
of them would dart into the water and
seize a fish. AS soon as he got to the
surface he would give it a toss Iii the
air and rs it came down catch it in his
open bill. 1t would then he part way
down his throat with half the body and
the tail sticking out. If left alone the
bird would gradually work it down his
gullet and dispose of it, but this he
was not permitted to do. The moment
he appeared on the top of the water
one of the canoes was alongside aud
the poor BOBBY was seized and dragged
on board. One of the negroes would
catch him by the throat and. applying
pressure. compel him to disgorge his
prey, when he was ut once released

what it was. for the rascals jabbercd
something very fast-that he go and
catch another.

loaded with fish. After Il while made
signs TO them TO come alongside. and /
bought about bushel of the fish, Civ

sea bass. weighing four or five pounds
apiece. with few pike among them."

The True Way of Resting.

There are various kinds of rest. A
person whose occupation is chiefly
carried on by the use of his brain rests
that organ when he changes his work
to physical labor. Thus il student
who spends eight hours Il day in in-
tense mental application derives i'm
mense benefit. not only TO his brain.
but TO his whole system. by 4 brisk
walk of two or three hours or like
period employed in chopping wood.
In such case rs this there is no COM
plete rest for tie body; it is simply y
change of labor from one kind 10 an
other kind. 1t amounts TO nothing
more than proper exercise for the
mental and physical system, and if
accompanied with seven or eight
hours sleep and five or six hours for
eating and amusement might be car
ried on indefinitely in any ordinary
healthy locality. The body does not
require absolute rest, and. as Il matter
of fact. it never gets it; for even in
sleep there is L not inconsiderable
functional activity of various organs
going on.
Such n student as l have referred to
would receive great advantage from
going to the woods or the mountains
or the seashore for the summer, not to
lie down in Il hammock or TO loii on
the sand, but 10 take his books with
him. preferably devoted TO subjects
different from those that he has studied
in the city. and 10 exercise his muscles
by rowing boat or hunting for nat
ural history specimens on land or sea.
instead of working in IA gymnasium or
walking up and down Broadway and
Fifth avenue. Such person not ONLY
alters the character of hls mental and
physical labor. but he does it with
such advantages as are TO be derived
from change of air and scene and they
are by no means inconsiderable. Now.
this Is not rest; on the contrary it is
work, and very hard work, too; but
10 one can doubt that the student
would return 10 his regular pursuits
with 4 mind and body invigoraied aud
capable of doing better things than
when he left the city. In
short. Il man or Il woman is 70 be man.
aged in respect TO rest in very much
the same way that Il farmer manages
his field. The latter knows the adyan-
tages of succession of crops. He
knows that if he plants cabbages every
successive year in the same piece of
ground he will. in short time. have
very poor cabbage and very poor
ground; whereas. by changing from
one thing to another. the product is
better and the earth is not deterior-
ated. He knows also how much his
land is improved by allowing it to lie
fallow every now and then. Men and
women. like the fields of the earth,
require change. and. like them. they
require rest; and these objects can
never be attained in the way that the
average American sets out 10 get
them.-W Wiiiidni A. HdmBaond IN NorM

Three American food plants-the
Indian corn. the potato. and the tomato

excellent act just now is a sheer lift.
The other day the workmen at the old
Hainesworlh steel mill. corner Of
Smalman and Twenty sixth streets
were trying their bands on mass OF
iron Weighing 800 pounds. 1t was a
good lift for them with both hands.
While at work Laboring Boss
Solomon came along and was invited
to try his strength. Solomon took the
weight in one hand and raised it quick
ly far above his knees. The men were
astonished. but when Solomon added
100 pounds and raised the 400 pounl,
with one hand to the level of his knee
and lowered it slowly they were NOR
than surprised. None could equal ths
feat. Solomon had never tried wei rhl-
lifting before. He is 80 wears old {
feet 9 inches. and weighs 10 pounds.
Andy Siebert, the old oarsman. who is
rated as one of Pittsburgs good liftcrs,
thinks Solomon powerful man.
