CHOLERA AND MOHAMMEDANIsM.
The Spread of the Disease Traced Il
Oriental PilgrimaRes.

From the Deseret (Salt lake City News
The ravages Of the cholera in the orient
! and in some Mediterranean ports has again
drawn the attention of the putfic to some
religious rites peculiar to the Mohammedan
world and to which 1t is thought much Of
| the dreaded epidemic can be traced Every
year, in the last month of the Moham-
median year. thousands Of pilgrims gather
TO worship In Mecca 1t is not true that
they are a particularly filthy set. On the
contrary. they compare favorably with the
thousands of Christian pilgrims who flock
to the Holy Land Their religion pre-
scribes cleanliness to exaggeration almost,
and the pilgrims. above all Others follow
the precepts to the letter. Yet the crowd
ing together Of so many thousands. the alb
sence of sanitary regulations and the trop-
lcai heat OF the country are very favor
able to disease.
But the really dangerous feature OF the
rifces as a grand finale to the pilgrimage
When the black stone at Mecca has been
kissed and the thirst is quenched by the
water Of the well Zemzem, in memory of
Hagars wandering in the desert, The dew
otees go to the mountain Ararat 20 listen
to sermon. In the valley Nina where,
according to Mohammedan tradition Abra-
nam was about to Stay Isaac. the great sac
rifce takes place. Thousands of animals
are gathered together. The wealthy pill
grims kill one camel or more. Some chalifs
are SAID TO nave slaughtered a thousand of
these animals. But even the poorest will
sacrifice a sheep. And not only in this val
ley, but all over the Mohammedan world
the day is celebrated with sacrifices. 1t is
the great feast" or the Kurban Beiram
the feast Of sacrifices" Of the followers of
the oriental prophet. The result is easily
imagined In places where the salt waves Of
the sea do not wash away the blood and the
remains of the killed animals. The stencil
In few hours becomes almost unbearable
And no wonder that the public slaughter
places become the receptacles Of dangerous
germs that only need favorable winds to be
carried over Europe and Asia.
In later years the Turkish and EGYPTIAN
governments have endeavored to prevent
the danger by prescribing certain rules and
regulations, but these do not go far enough.
The effective remedy would be the estab-
lishment of crematories in the places where
the sacrifices are slain. and we believe the
sultan could easily be persuaded to have
such erected il proper argument was used
The civilized world which is threatened
by the cholera has a perfect right not to
compel the Mohammedans at the point of
the bayonet to cease one Of their religious
practices. but to surround it with such safe
guards as not to make 1t an fncessant
menace to the health Of the rest of man
kind.
