1t is generally stated and believed thai,
the sultan Of Morocco, like the czar, is
at once the temporal and the spiritual
head Of his people, but this is not quite
true. Though one of his many titles is
that Of '.guardian and commander Of
the true believers" this authority is
very shadowy--at least as far as the
Kairouin is concerned-and the sultan
had an opportunity Of Judging some three
years ago Of the danger that might re-
suit from his interference in purely
church government. For some reason
or other he commanded that the mokad-
dun, or chief trustee Of the university
an office which has been hereditary in
one family since the death of the Tu.
nisian Fatma-be dismissed.
This was done, but within three days
there arose such an outcry and hubbub
at the sultan's attempt to exercise un-
wonted authority in church matters that
he very wisely bethought him to an
nounce that in q dream the apparition
Of his sainted father had appeared to
him and requested him to reinstate the
mokaddum. The mokaddum was rein
stated, and the sultan has never inter
fered again in the affairs Of the univer-
sity.--Fortnightly Review.

scott Enjoyed Reing Lionized.

Sir Walter Scott is an example OF q
great man, who, 50 far as we can judge,
enjoyed paying the penalties Of his
greatness, even in his hour Of death. He
was great enough, but then he was that
kind Of man. and the circumstances
among which he lived were favorable.
That was before the day Of the penny
post, of the electric telegraph, Of rail
ways and Of the interviewer, and in his
prime he lived at Abbotsford, which Is
equivalent nowadays to saying that he
lived at Joppa. He seems to have been
singularly free from the penalties OF
greatness, which have enormously IN
creased since the Wizard Of the North
went home and such Of them as came
In his way he seems to have heartily en-
joyed,
He appears now and then to have
relished being turned into rare show,
and to being pointed at wherever he
went as Walter Scott. Indeed this be-
ing pointed at seems to have been rel
ished by many men whose greatness was
undoubted. Thackeray seems some
times almost to have resented not being
pointed at. AL the Year Round.

Tho Strange Romance of Robbery on
tho Border.
ARIZONA bapditti" Is q phrase taking
enough for the headline Of the most lurid
article or the title OF the most thrilling
dime novel. Unlike most lurid titles, how-
ever, it falls short instead Of exaggeratng
the actual fact. There is probably no other
region Of equal area in the world so well
suited for outlaws, and II there ever was a
time when the rugged canyons and wild
wastes between the Gila and the San Juan
did not harbor land pirates 1t was before
the Aztec occupation Of lHumboldt says
the Twelfth century.
Certainly the oldest Mexican Indian ira
ditions and the subsequent written records
tell the same story, but the latest case of
really romantic interest is that of Ramon
Ortiz and Manuel Grijalva. Ortiz was
born in Seville, came to Mexico and took
part in the Macmillan war on the side Of
the Ill fated monarch, under whom he held
captains commission. Upon the dis
banding Of the army he fled to Arizona,
accompanied by the Mexican Griialva,
who was soldier under him. From that

In the old range cattle boom days,
when money from foreign lands was
pouring into the west like water, there
were a good many sharp tricks prac-
ticed in delivering cattle. It's recalled
that the Marquis de Mores, who tried to
cut such conspicuous figure as a revo-
lutionizer Of the American meat trade,
and who later became notorious as q
duelist, was badly sold. While in Da-
kota he bought 10000 head Of cattle
from two Englishmeil. They were first
class cattle and cost forty dollars ahead,
When these two Britons delivered the
cows they worked one Of the neatest
"skin" games that was ever heard Of.
Medora, you know, sits in a valley, with
table lands on each side.
Well, the Englishmen ran 5000 head
OF cattle mon the marquis and collected
for 10000. The way they did it was by
running the same 0 1000 twice around the
hill. De Mores never 9stnmbled" until
he had paid his 100000 and the merry
cockneys were bound for South Amer
lea. IT was aclear steal Of $200, 900, but
the marquis didn't make much bones
about 1t. He had plenty Of money and
didn't care. Chicago Drovers' Journal.

"A FAIR ATTORNEY.

Alasl the world has gone awry
Since Cousin Lillian entered college,
For she has grown so learnedI i
Oft tremble at her wondrous knowledge.
Whene'er dare to woo her now
She frowns that should so annoy her.
And then proclaims, with lofty brow.
Her mission Is 10 be a lawyer.
Life glides no more on golden wings, a8
Asunny waif from I'll Dorado;

That coming sorrow casts It's shadow.
When tutti frutti lost its spell
I felt some hidden grief impended;
When she declined a caramel
Iknew my rosy dream had ended.
She paints no more on china plaques,
With tints thatwould have crazed Murillo,
Strange birds that never plumed their backs
When Father Noah braved the billow.
Her fancy limns, with brighter blush.
The splendid triumphs that await her,
When in the court breathless hush
Gives homage to the queen debater
lis sad to meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blue as Scottish heather;
vTis sad q maid with cheeks Of rose
Should have her heart bound up in leather
sTis sad to keep ones passion pent,
Though PaIlas' arms the fair environ;
But worse to have her quoting Kent
When one is fondly breathing Byron.
When Lillian ii licensed at the law
Her fame, be sure, will live forever;
No barrister will pick a flaw
In logic so extremely clever
The sheriff will forget his nap
To feast upon the lovely vision.
And e'en the judge will set his cap

A reat in writing.

John j. Taylor, Of Streator, His, once
wrote A, 100 words on the blank side of a
postal card, This was sent to a Chicago
paper, which heralded the story to the
world as being the most wonderful piece
of penwork ever executed. As matter
of fact Mr.. Taylor's effort has been dis
counted on several occasions. Beedle,
the penman Of Ottery st. Mary, Liver
pool, once wrote the following pieces en-
tire, without the slightest abbreyiation,
all upon piece Of cardboard 315 by 312
inches in size. GoIdsmith's "Trayeler,' Z

AeId Used to wash Cheese RIaas.

In Ciev vsland, Ohio, a family has just
been poisoned by cheese. The cheese
was examined by a Food Inspector and
was found to contain the poisonous aka

that the rind hal been washed with a
composition Of su!phate Of copper and

done by manufacturers to prevent cheese
mites from forming and to preserve the
cheese from mice and rats, and for that
reason the rind should never be eaten.
Several prominent commission mer-
chants aud cheese manufacturers in this
city were seen yesterday, and were asked
to what extent such composition was
used to wash cheese iu this State aud
vicinity.
Stephen Underhili said thst he hal
never heard OF any such preparation be-
ing used in this State to wash cheese. A
member OF the firm Of John 8. Martin
& Company said that some kind OF prep

STATE ammonia and hot water were some
times used to wash cheese when the rind
became mouldy, but he had never heard
of any other wash used in New York.
At the office OF w. Il. Smith it was also
said that some kind of preparation was
used to wash cheese in the west. OF
late years, however, comparatively small
quantities Of cheese came from the west +,
as most of the cheese made there was
also consumed there.

1t is now a "Nostrum,'
though at first 1t was COM
pounded after a prescription
by a regular physician, with
no idea that it would ever
go on the market as a propric-
tary medicine. But after
compounding that prescrip-
tion over a thousand times in
one year, we named it "Piso's
Cure for Consumption" and
began advertising it in a
small way. A medicine
known all over the world is
the result.

to a dollar for a prescription
and an equal sum to have 1t
