How Turks Pray For the Infders.
The following is an exact transla-
ton from the Arabic of the official
prayer of Islam, which is used
throughout Turkey and daily repeat
ed in the Cairo Azhar university by
10, 900 Mohammedan students from
all lands:
Il seek refuge with Allah from
Satan, the accursed. In the name of
Allah the Compassionate, the Merci-
full! o Lord of all Creatures! O AL
lah! Destroy the infidels and poly
theists, thine enemies, the enemies
of the religion! o Allah! Make their
children orphans, and defile their
abodes, and cause their feet to slip,
and give them and their families,
and their households and their WON.
en-, and their children, and their rel
atives by marriage, and their broth
ers, and their friends, and their pos.
sessions, and their race, and their
wealth, and their lands, as booty to
the moslems. o Lord of all Crea.
tures!'
In all the other religions of even
the semicivilized nations of the globe
there can be no prayer found to par
allel this cruel appeal of Islam to the
spirit of inhumanity. Bulgaria, Da-
mascus, Lebanon and Armenia may
or may not be mere hotbeds of anti.
Turkish intrigue. With such a ma
tional prayer Turkey stands self
condemned before the world.-Phil.

IJare, II you please-Dare; the express
charges were paid; the mistress of the
house came home; the screens were. pack
ed up again and sent out into the cold
world.
The summer wore on, and it came time
for the Manley Dares to return to the city.
While they were packing trunks n box
ing household property there came two
screens, which were promptly elected.
In New York Mrs. Dare-Mrs. Manley
Dare-going to call on her mother-in-law
one day in the fall, saw two screens that
seemed familiar.
Mother" she said, with something
akin to horror, ''where''-great stress on
the ''where"-''did you get those screens?"
well" said her mother in law placid
ly, "Nita wrote me several weeks ago that
she was going to send me a very beautiful
screen. Two or three weeks ago these
screens zane. 1 don't think either of
them is especially beautiful, but l suppose
as the beautiful one turned out not to be
beautiful she'sent me two. So l set them
up, and that Is where / got the screens"
Then, the horrible tale of the screens hav-
ing been told to the senior Mrs. Dare, the
express company was once more called
upon to remove them.
The next afternoon saw the screens de-
posted In the hallway of MIR. Manley
Dare, express charges collected from a serv-
ant.
1t was at this period of persecution that
Mr.. Manley Dare resolved to settle the
screen question forever. He sent back the
two offending screens and then called at
the office of Mr.. M. Dare-Mr. Maynard
Dare.
Mr.. Dare, he said, II am Mr.. Dare,
tho other Mr.. Dare. For a long tim l
have been bombarded with a pair OF
screens. AT one time thought they must
belong to you, but as l asked the express
company to take them to you, and as l
still keep getting the screens, l presume
they do not belong to you But, Mr.. Dare,
II you can throw any light on the mystery
of the
'Screens!' said the other Mr.. Dare
YEARLY. "Once several months ago Mrs.
Dare pougnt Two screens, n we have
been tracing them In vain ever since
Then, cried Mr.. Dare-Mr. Manley
Dare-"we may solve this mystery. Will
you, MT. Dare-wlll you go with me to the
express company's officer"
In the express oompany's office the Dares
stood side by side.
we are the Messrs. Dare" explained
Mr.. Marley Dare to an officer of the com
pany. This" pointing to his namesake,
is Mr.. M. Dare. l am also Mr.. M. Dare,
but Mr.. Manley Dare. Your screens, adj
dressed to Mr.. M. Dare, have always come
to me, Mr.. Manley Dare, who has paid
the express charges. They should have
gone to Mr.. Dare here-Mr. Maynare Dare
who will be glad to pay the express
charges. We are each Mr.. M. Dare; but,
as you see, we are quite unlike, and l am
very sure that l do not want the screens,
and l am happy to say that Mr.. Dare-Mr.
Maynare Dare" he said in an impressive
tone, is willing to take them. Have l
made the situation quite clearf"
The official thought that he had.
Are you quite positive" said Mr.. Dare
Mr.. Manley Dare, THAT you make the
distinction? l, MIR. Marley Dare, have no
claims in the world upon those screens.

Mexican Methods.

Mr.. Graham found that the spirit
Of religion in Mexico seemed to be
confined almost exclusively to WON
en- He says: ''1n one church I saw
200 women kneeling, some with their
small children and babies, others ac-
companied by their dogs, both large
and small. Only a very few old men
and cripples were among the worship
ers. The mass of the men and the
boys were to be found loafing around
the gambling houses, which We're all
open and running full blast. We
looked into some Of these dens, but
we're most shocked at one frequented
mainly by small lads and children,
some even as young as Z and S years.
betting their copper cents. The
amount staked upon the turn of the
wheel rarely exceeded II or Is cents,
and the owner of the den raked in 8
or A cents as his share, and the bal
ance went to the lucky boy.
Speaking of children, the girls
and boys of the public schools are
taught in separate buildings. They
are instructed to study their lessons
aloud, and it is a very noisy place.
Imagine SO boys, with good, strong
lungs, studying their reading or
spelling lessons aloud while the teach
er is trying his best to explain a
problem in arithmetic to a small
class in another corner of the room,
but can be scarcely heard above the

The Poor Rich Man.
There are SO many things which
n has to have nowadays in order
to be comfortable that it seems al
most improvident to inquire how
much one ought to save before facing
the question of what one can posi-
bly, do without. Here the people who
r said to have too much for their
own good have an advantage over
the rest of u.s.. The future of their
children is secure. If they dread
death, it is not because they fear to
leave their wives and children unpro-
vided for. Many of them go on saw
ing just the same and talk poor if a
railroad lowers a dividend or there
is not a ready market for their real
estate at an exalted profit. Are there
more irritant men Or women in the
world than the overconservative per-
sonsof large means who are perpetu-
ally harping on saving and worry
ing lest they may not be able to put
by for a rainy day, as they call it, 25
per cent OF more of their annual in
come? The capitalist careworn by
solicitude of this sort is the one fool
in creation who is not entitled to
some morsel of pity.-Scribner's.
