A Primitive Cradle,

The slave women of Morocco hush
their babes in cradles of primitive
pat tern that my have come down al
most from bible times. An olivewOOd
trough is swung from rings in a rough.
| ~ squared bar, which is SuppOl ted by
| upri = hts planted in rude woodel blocks
upon the ground. Crouched on the
mattings by such a cradel in one of the
e5ser rooms Of the harem the black
girl crOOns TO her infant wild, mono
tunOuS chants that have little music in
them to ears unframed in the coDser-
vatories of Africa Such a woman,
soundly cuffe d by ter Moorish mistress
for some M sdemeauor, snatches up the
child and kisses it and cOddles it for
com 'ort in an international language
of caresses that oOes't need interpre-
tation. To make the baby laugh she
blows in its face, t!ckles its feet and
hands and chucks its chin.
The baby's wool is dyed red with
henna, and It's finger nails are stained
with the same stuff when it is only Il
few days old. Its eye brows are black
ened with khol before its eyes are
fairly open. The cradle is pain ted red
or yellow. The 'laye;te' OF the baby
consists of a siugle garment, little
jeiaba or short, wide coat of yellowish
wool, som etimes plain, sometimes iu
terwOven with threads of red and blue.
Black babies are vigorous and have
sound lungs, fact sometimes made
distressful to the mother in establish
ments where no children have been
bora to the favor1te of the harem.
There are splendid, strong llmbed
black babies in Egypt also, in marked
contrast to the apathetic, spirirless
children of the native Egyptians. TIE
blacks OF northern Africa are tall, we'll
made ana often handsome. They can
not be bought or sold in Tangier. but
the caravans of the slave dealers pass
through the city frequently on their
way to other points in Morocco, where
the traffic is under 10 restrictions.
The women are employed to gather
fagots or cultivate the gardens, or,
more frequently, as attendants in the
harems. They are treated kindly as a
rule, when their mistre sSes are; but
the Moorish women are like children,
ard wh:n they are beaten they look
for somebody whom they can beat in
turn.
The black babies when they are out
of their cradles, have the free dom of
harem. They are often petted almost
as much as the brown Moorish babies,
with whom they toddle about, adorned
with bright bead necklaces and getting
their mischie vous fingers into hepna
pots and incense vases and all sorts of
forbidden things.

Sweet Potato Starch.

Experiments have recently been
maze in Missouri concerning the sweet
potato as starch producer with most
satisfactory results. The test showed
that while the yield from the potato is
n 1T 50 great per pound as some of the
cereals, yet taking into consideration
the amount one is able to grow to the
acre, the potato out weighs them all
The principal reason the sweet Potato
Is better is the fact that none of it
need be vast d. The refuse is fine
feed for cattle, horses or hogs. An
o her f. allure Is, the sugar may be
saved also. If there is oGe place that
produces sweet potatoes better than all
other places in the Un ted ,ate-, it is
the famous Pecos Valley. A teu-pound
potato is no novel y there. They have
been raised in Toyah creek with more
ease than any other vegetable and in
the greatest abundance, for the yield
Is enormous.

According to "El Globo," the lead
ing organ of the liberal party, Spain's
navy would make a very poor show
| in case of an international war. The
! Pelayo, Carlos, QuintO and Colon, upon
which so many hopes were fixed. must
undergo repairs, for which d year or
more is required. Speaking of the
Colon, which was recently built at
Genoa, ''El I'm oarcial'' says that the
vessel lacks steadiness, and that this
deficiency will be more apparent when
the artillery is mounted. A part of
the artillery has not been finished,
while the making of the two larger
guns has not even BEEN begun. The
Victoria and Numancia, two prehistoric
frigates. are unde going repairs, and
will not be really for service as coast
guards for a year. The Infanta Maria
Teresa, the Oquendo aud Vizcaya are
the only vessels of any value which
are now available, but it seams that
the artillerymen are more afraid of the
munitions provided for the cannon
than they are of the enemys artillery.
The naval authorities have been noti-
suit. The cruiser Alfonso III has

BIBLE STUDY CONFERENCE.
A Great Meeting to Be Held in Boston
Next Week.

The fifteenth annual international
bible study conference, which opens at
East Northfield, Mass, shortly, Will be
an occasion of especial interest, as the
result of striking address to his
| .'friends and fell wv workers. that has
been issued by Rev. Dwight l. Moody.
The most famous of the worlds evan
ge!iStS believes that tHese are times
that are giving earnest, thoughtful
men deep concern; that various condi-
| tions are testifying to divine displeas-
ure, and that a crisis in the national
life may be imminent. In fact Mr..
Moody believes tha present conditions
| are very much like those that preceded
| the civil war, and that the preaching
| of bible truths is the need Of the hour.
In the forth coming conference he has
rallied to his support roll of eminent
divines from far and near. Among
| them are Bishop L. P. Newman, Rev.
Drs. Fl. G. Mabie, Boston; A. c. Dixon,
Brooklyn: w. J. Erdman, Philadel-
Sanders, New York; Campbell Morgan
and A. @. MacgregOr, London, and V.
D. David and Kali Charan Banuji, the
leaders of the evangelistic movement
in India.
In the national address alluded to,
Mr.. Moody says: The time has come
for believers in a whole bibe, divine
CuflSt anu d IlVIrS SpirlG 10 J'lu IN an
earnest and determined forward move
ment. Forty years ago God in his
mercy and love called our nation to
repentance. This was followed by a
special awakening of the churches |
throughout the land. Everywhere the |
church was united in aggressive evan
gelistic work, and an open sanctuary |
found - large attendance on week day |
evenings. Pentecostal power came
upon ministers and layman, and in
short season over half million soul
were brought to Christ.
"Many of the conditions which then
existed are now present Then as low
material prosperity had failed, and

our national life. AS nation we have
1ieregarded Gods laws and been for

we have been blessed with peace and

beyond all nations. What wonder then
