quarreling among themselves concern
ing their claims upon the people. But
Mr.. Land does no boasting. He sim
ply plainly tells the people what ne
holds our municipal policy should be,
and he gives the reasons for the faith
that is in him. He is not begging the
Office from the people, or shouting to
them, ''See what I have done" His
declarations are all related to what
should be done and what he will strive
to do when elected. as he will be.

Such negative evidence is not sufficient
to coDtrovert the great mass of testi-
mony upon this point, but 1t shows that
the habit is not so prevalent as has
been believed. Besides birds and their
eggs, the jay eats mice, fish, salaman-
ders, snails, and crustaceans. which al
together constitute but little more than
/ per cent. of its diet. The insect food

orders, all noxious, except some 3k per

something more than 10 per cent. of

sects. In August the jay, like MANY
other birds, turns its attention to
grasshoppers, which constitute nearly
one-fifth ofits food during that month.
At this time, also, most of the other
noxious insects. including caterpillars,
are consumed, though beetles are eaten
chiefly in spring. The vegetable food

has been said about the nest-robbing

that shells Of small birds eggs were

iished a "Ziarat." or place Of pilgrim
age, in their country, and the way they
did IL amounted to a stroke of genius.
The neighboring tribes all had Ziar-
ats, and the people went on pilgrim
ages 10 them and boasted of the viz
tues emanating from the dead holy men
who were buried beneath the shrine.
Now. there does not seem ever to
have been any holy man among the
Afridis. and in order to have a real
Ziarat you must have holy man 10
bury. The Afrdis had been busy so
many centuries robbing caravans and
stealing sheep that they had not had
time TO pay any profound attention TO
their spiritual welfare, and really did
not feel the want of a place of pilgrim
age.
Not long ago. however some Null
lahs appeared among them and began
TO point out their deficiencies in this
respect. II was shown tn them that
they did not even have a Ziarat and
were in a bad way generally. A wave
of religious fervor swept over the
tribe and 1t was resolved that some
thing must be done at once or black
eyes and lemonade would not be their
portion in the Mahometan heaven. A
council OF the leading men was called
and, after much deliberation. it was de-
cided that what was most needed was a
Ziarat. II they could only get Ziar-
at they would feel comparatively re-
spectacle and there would be no furth-
er cause for complaint on the part OF
the Mullahs.
Then the question arose as to get
ting saint for the shrine. One OF the
chiefs said that he knew of Khattak
who lived out among the hills who
would fill the bill. but he was unfor-
tunately still alive. The council
thought that that might be remedied
and so the Khattak was sent for. Ht
was put through a rigid examination
