A little lady walked into a butcher
shop and asked for two pounds Of beef
steak. When It had been weighed she
told the butcher to put it in the mincing
machine and chop it up SO that she could
make meat balls out Of it for dinner.
The meat expert, quite an ordinary
looking man, entirely unsuited to be the
hero Of a story like this, followed tho
instructions, minced the meat and hand
ed It in n paper to the customer. Then
he turned in his matter Of fact way to
attend to a man new to housekeeping
who was inquiring If he had any nice
mutton steak, and II so how much It
was n yard.
The little lady locked at tho minced
meat and asked the butcher to weigh il
again. Ho did so. and there was just
Ia pounds.
"Theret' said the little lady indig.
nantly. "Y0ur sausage machine has
stolen a quarter Of a pound Of my steak.
I've suspected that machine for a long
time. You've got to make It good"
Il will not" ~retorted the butcher.
"It's q case Of natural wear and tear.
Maybe some Of the weight Of the steak
has vanished in the process to which II
has been subjected, but there's two
pounds of nourishment there"

little lady insisted. II won't take tn,

itals of the sultanate. No reason is
given or expected for such arbitrary
action. The prisoner knows that his
sovereign needs money, and as soon as
he reaches his destination opens ne
gotiations for his release. As the sui.
tan rarely appears personally in these
transactions, the unfortunate victim
has to pay a heavy tribute to the min
lister in charge of his case, besides his
ransom TO the greedy potentate.
Sometimes the sultan gets hold of a
particularly obstinate creature who
values his money more than his life.

faithful has the recalcitrant captive ex-
ecuted with neatness and dispatch or
bastinadoed until the wretch confesses

the Jews the government looks with
displeasure upon their emigration. The
present sultan has, in fact, gone so far
as to issue an edict prohibiting Jewish
women from leaving the country. The
Jews control the foreign and a large
share of the domestic trade of the coun-
try, and an occasional raid of their
quarters at Tangier, Morocco, Fee and
other towns produces excellent results
for the profligate court.
1t is safe to risk the assertion that mo
semi-civilized nation under the sun is as
unprogressive as the Moors. They have
chung with unparalleled tenacity to the
tradition of remote ages. The farming
population manages its affairs with the
simplicity which characterized the oper-
atoms of the patriarchs, and could not
be persuaded to try labor-saving ma
chinery and devices. The same holds
good of the mechanics and artisans.
The leather, for instance, which made
Morocco famous, is tanned and dressed
as it was a thousand years ago Masons
and goldsmiths pursue their avoca-
tons with an equal disregard of modern
methods.
The sultan is the spiritual as we'll as
the temporal ruler of his subjects.
Fanatical devotion to the Koran and
strong faith in the liberal interpreted
ton of it's injunctions have produced a
race Of stern, gloomy fanatics who
would hail with delight the utter ex-
termination of Christianity. Intoxicat-
