The Genii Eat Mutton.

From the Chicago Times.
At the opening of the Jana-Jerusalem railway
a curious Moslem rite observed. Three
sheep were slaughtered and their blood be-
sprinkled on the rails before the first train was
allowed to proceed upon its journey. This su-
perstitious ceremony had for its object the
soaring away of evil genii, who would otherwise
have exerted baneful influence upon passen-
gers using the line.

a SIX YEAR TERM.

CONGRESS is beginning to think serious
ly of making the presidential term six
years instead of four. It's well the six
year term has been growing into immense
popularity among the masses during the
past few years and the time is ripe for ac-
ton. All business men favor the six
year term, for as it is now, the presiden-
tial campaign OF every )ur years acts as
regular paralyzer on business. The
American people are busy set, and this
thing of losing one year out Of every four
for politics is becoming burden. They
could stand to give up one year in six,
however.
