CRANKY GUESTS.

Il cannot sleep in that roam, said IA
guest at a hotel in this city last evening as
he walked to the desk in the office and
threw the key upon it,
'What is the matter with it," asked the
clerk
There is nothing the matter with it ex
cept that the bed is in the wrong place
the guest replied. For more than 20
years have slept in bed with the head
toward the north, and it has become such
habit with me that it would be actually
impossible for me to sleep with the head
in any other direction"
Il, will be impossible for me to give
you a room containing bed with the head
in that direction" said the clerk. 'Tne
hotel is well filled tonight, and have
only two vacant rooms, but have the bed
turned for you Calling Il porter, the
clerk instructed him to turn the bed in the
gentleman's room so that the head would
be to the north. The guest followed the
porter up stairs, and as nothing further
was heard from him it is presumed that he
retired and slept peacefully.
There is no accounting for tastes, - said
the clerk, turning to the reporter, "and the
funny experiences we have in the hotel
business would fill a volume Before the
night is over we may have calls for beds
with their heads TUNED to every point OF
the compass and of course we are obliged
to accommodate every one.

PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE
Curious InvocatiOns by Famous Historical
PerSOnageS.

One OF the earliest records in history of
prayer before battle is that Of Childeric,
king of GauP pagan, who before going
into battle at Iuelpich, some 400 years
after Christ. prayed to the God of the
Christians to help him to victory. His
foe was Attila, kind of the Huns, and
Childeric vowed if god would give him the
victory he would embrace the Christian
faith.
The prayer of Hungarian officer before
one OF the battles fought for the independ-
ence OF Hungary in 1919 was as follows:
Il will not ask thee, Lord to help us and
| know thou wilt not help the AustrianS
but if thou wilt sit on yonder hill thou
shalt not be ashamed of thy children. :"
/ Ibis was the prayer of the fighting
Bishop Leslie before one OF the battles
fought in Ireland: ''Oh God for our
unworthiness we are not fit to claim thy
help, but if we are bad our enemies are
worse, and if thou seest not meet to HELM
us we pray the help them not but stand
thou neuter on this day and leave it to
the arm of the flesh"
The one offered before the battle Of
Edgehill by Sir Jacob Ashley was: Thou
knowest, o Lord, that ! shall he very
busy this day, and if forget thso forget
thou not me-" and then the command
followed, 'March on boys" AS King
Edward advanced with his columns to
Bannockhurn he remarked to his aids, see
ing the Scotch on their knees: "See, they
kneel. The rebels are asking pardon. -
D'Umphrayille was heard to remark
Yes, but it is to the King OF kings.
These men conquer Or die on this field.
Oliver Cromwell had public prayers be-
fore going to battle on several occasions
as, for instance, previous to the battle of
Dunbar. II is curious fac. that the
English PRAYER book contains prayers, OF at
least one prayer, 10 be said before going in
to action at sea, while nothing is pro
vided for use before engagements on

WHAT A KURD IS LIKE.

In color they are usually no darker, and
often not nearly so dark, as southern Euro
peans. The eyebrows and lashes and ewes
are generally black, and nose aquiline and
fine, and the mouth well formed. The face
is long and oval, while in statue medium
height seems to be general The chin is
shaved, the moustache alone being left, and
over it no end of trouble is taken with
comb and wax. The hair is usually shaved
along the top of the crown, but left long
on either side, though little or nothing of
1t Is visible, owing to the peculiar and
characteristic manner in which the men
deck their heads. The Ku-d's costume is
distinctly his own, and except in the south,
where he has come more or less under
Persian influence, he never abandons it. A
high silk pointed cap crowns the head round
which is woven number of silk scarfs and
handkerchiefs in s&illfully arranged dis
order
The favorite colors for these turbans are
dark claret and gold, with here and there
a narrow stripe of some brilliant hue The
rough fringes are left hanging down, as
often as not covering the eyes and ears of
the wearer and adding not little to his
fantastic appearance. Over white linen
shirt, with sleeves that end in points more
than yard long, so that they touch the
ground, silk coat is worn, crushed straw
berry being the favorite color, though cherry
co'or and white satin are almost equally
common. These coats are made co'larless
and open at the neck and fold across the
breast, being held in place by a wide silk
sash skillfully folded and interviewed. In
this sash the long pipe and curved dagger
are thrust. BlackwOod's
