THE SACRED CARPET.
1t Is No Carpet at All and Does Not
Even Resemble One.
From the Woman's Home Companion

From the Womans Home Companion.
It is England's wise policy in all her
colonies to have her army take part in the
national religious ceremonies, so when the
sacred Garnet started from the citadel on
its Journey to Mecca there was a magnifi-
cent military display. 1t is an odd thing
to call 1t a carpet, for it not only is not a
carpet in itself, but it is not the shape
of a carpet it is not used for carpet
and does not look like a carpet
We were among the fortunate ones who
were invited to the private view of it the
night before, when the faithful were dedi-
eating it. They sat on the floor, these
Mohammedans, rocking themselves back
and forth and chanting the Koran.
The carpet" is a black velvet embroid-'
cred solidly in silver and gold. 1t Is
shaped like an old-fashioned Methodist
church. only there are mdnarets at the
four corners 1t looks like pail. Every
wear they send new one TO Mecca, and
then the old one is cut into tiny bits ana
distributed among the faithful who wear
II next their hearts. Ihls carpet was
ahout six feet long, and was rallied in so
thar no one could touch 1t. A man stood
nv and spraved altar Of roses on you as
vou nassed but / do not know what he did
II for unless it was to turn sensitive wo-
men faint with the heavy perfume.
But the next morning the procession
formed and amid ihe widest enthusiasm
the bowling and salaamlng OF the men
and the shouting and running OF the
children. and the singing Of the Arabs
who bore the carpet, 1t was placed upon
he most magnificent camel l ever saw,
which was covered from head to foot
with cloth of gold, and whose very gait
,.o,,,od more majestic because of his sa-
cred burden. and thus, led by scores Of
enthusiasts Arabs, he moved slowly down
he street following the covering for the
tnn,h and in turn being followed by one
scarcely less magnificent destined to cover
the sacred carpet in ms camel journey 70
Mecca. That was absolutely all there was
10 II vet the khedve was there with
dne military escort, and all Cairo turned
out at the unearthly hour Of o'clock in
the morning to see 1t.

HOW PEOPLE MEET DEATH.
In Most Instances 1t liz Painless and
Unexpected.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Despite the wise teachings and noble
example Of Socrates, and despite the posi-
tive assertions of the best medical authori-
ties. most people look with fear and trem-
bling toward the moment which separates
time and eternity for mankind-the mo-
ment Of death. Physicians have long
since established the fact that death Itself
is a relief, a beautiful and by no means
painful transition, but they have also laid
stress upon the fact that this dissolution
must not be COMPOUNDED with the symp-
toms of disease which precede death.
The question as to what transplres In
mankind during the approach Of death has
been the subject OF many studies and, re-
searches, aud quite recently a number of
French scientists among them V. Egger.
DIR. Sollier and De Narigny, have collect
ed material that could be reached upon
this point and published il In "A pamphlet
just issued IN Paris. Naturally, the ma
terlal is but scant, but 1t nevertheless fur
nshes an interesting contribution to the
great issue-the moment OF death
The French publication gives number
OF statements by intelligent and observing
persons who were rescued from death at
the last moment. These statements are
confined to accidents and do not refer TO
exhaustion resulting from old age but even
In the case of the latter the experts claim
TO be justified in the assertion that where
the power Of life gradually fades away
death is no more painful than in the case

AIDED AND ABETTED A THIEF.
How the President Became COpar-
cener in PurIoining n Macl<ereI.

From the New York Herald.
How Mr.. Mckinley aided and abetted in
the stealing of one mackerel is a story that
has come out since the Presidents COM
ing has been talked of. AS MIR. Mckinley
was an accessory before and after the
fact, Mr.. Joseph V. Jordan never breath
ed a word of this until the other day.
Then he told it to a friend in confidence,
as he thought, but now it is going the
rounds.
1t was the year Mr.. Mckinley was NOM
mated for the presidency. He and Mrs.
Mckinley were at the Elberon. Mr. Nc
Kinley Is a good whip He and his broth
er Abner and Mr.. Jordan were trying a
fast team of the latter. Mr.. Mckinley
remarked that he would like to take a
fresh mackerel home to Mrs. Mckinley,
who Is fond of that fish. Their drive
brought them past the ElDeron fish
pond" but no mackerel were to be had
there. They visited half a dozen differ
ent places without success and were final
" directed TO a small fish store kept by
Capt. John Jefferies, in Pearl street, South
Elberon. The store was closed. for it was
lunch hour. Jefferies house was some
distance away. They had been assured
that Jefferies had what they wanted. 1t
was a broiling day. they were hot and in
despair. They ratified doors and windows.
Boost me-" said Mr.. Jordan. Brothers
William and Abner gave him a shoulder
He was soon perched on a lofty window
casing and prying the putty from a pane.
The glass was lifted Mr.. Jordan wrig-
gled through. He reappeared with a fine
big fish. He had squeezed half way
through the window when there was a
cry OF police! Police" A boy clerk had
come on the scene.
1T is all right" gasped Mr. Jordan.
That's Mr.. Mckinley" waving the fish
in the direction of the nominee for Presi-
dent.
mo faint all right" replied the boy.
They lifted Mr.. Jordan out of the win
dow frame, gave the boy the money for
the fish and a deposit for repairs to the
mackerel.

CHAPTER XIV.


1t was midday by the time she reach
ed the village; and being very faint
she ventured into the quaint little inn
and asked for glass OF milk. To
eat seemed impossible; but the mis-
tress OF the inn, noticing the frail
form and evidences of weariness,
brought homemade bread and butter,
and suggested that she had better
keep UP her strength. Little as she felt
inclined for it, the food did her good,
and. when she had finished, the people
directed her to Mr.. Brandon's.
Gould you tell me-" she asked tim
idly. "if Mr.. Brandon is at home just
now?"
The woman glggled, and looked at
her daughter, who also giggled.
mo. he ain't," she said.
He's got married." giggled the
daughter.
'tAnd he's gone for his wedding
trip" added the mother.
Dear mel" said Marguerite, in as
constituent.
Yes. He's married the Doctors
daughter. She was a deal too young
and pretty for him: but her father,
they do say. he made her. The old
mans pretty well rolling in money"
"Yes-rolling in my money" inward
ly thought Marguerite. as, inspired
with fresh resolution. she paid her
modest reckoning, and started onwards
once more.
Full Of thought, she walked rapidly
forward, and hardly noticed where she
was going, till suddenly she stopped
with a start; for she was in place
which she remembered.
1t was large, level meadow,
through which ran stream, shaded
by alders and fringed with river weeds.

rh. Religion. .s,o.-x.oh,n..-

In the Adirondack mountains, at a
place of popular resort. there is a
chapel where the contributions are
often liberal in the summer season.
but where the contributions still
chiefly consist, as far as bulk goes, OF
small coins. The rector Of this church,
who Is man of dignihed and minis
terial appearance, Is accustomed to go
with the Sunday offerings to one Of
the hotels and receive check for the
amount of 1t. One Monday morning
he was counting the money at the desk
OF the hotel cashier. and was at that
moment scraping together the nickels
and coppers, which were in abund-
ant supply. Just then bell-boy came
up who seemed to have something on
his mind. What is 1t. my little mani"
asked the rector. in his most honeyed
tone. Beg pardon, SIR" said the boy.
"but are you the man what runs the
slot-machine down-stairs" The boy
could never understand why all the
people. including the rector, laughed
at him. The laugh was really on the
Sunday contributors to the church
funds. Many clergymen. we have no
doubt, will sympathize with this sup
posed proprietor Of the slot-machine.
