speaker pauses and the brass bowl is
passed round. AS long as the con-
tributions flow in freely the story is
continued until, by frequent calls on
the purse of the natives, it becomes
evident that all the pieces have been
collected, then the story is brought
TO close, and the villain of the piece
gets his deserts much to the satsfac-
ton of the crowd. These professional
story-tellers have several ways of get
ting money, and adopt the plans of
the dervishes in Persia. They play the
part of astrologers or of holy men.
They enter into public discussions with
other men of the same calling. The
winner of the debate nominally takes
the money collected, but, as a rule,
the two are in league and share the
plunder. At the entrance of the harbor
is small fiat rock, which rises only
a few feet from the water level. This
used to be the execution ground of the
district. The condemned were placed
IN chains, and left without clothes,

OF the sea, to die of privation, and of
the enects Of the sun, which shines
IN a cloudless sky and with tremen-
dous vigor. 1t is said that no prisoner

The sultan Of Muscat has among his
subjects varied collection of all
creeds-Mahomedans, Hindoos, fire
worshippers, Jews and Armenians. and
In spite Of this fact good order is
maintained. The slave trade is in de-
cadence, but even now American and
British gunboats, used for patrolling
occasionally capture slave
galleys. and rescue the Zanzibaris,
who are taken to Muscat and set at
liberty. The British consul has a
bodyguard Of Indian troops, and on the
whole the consulate has a better ap-
pearance than has the sultan's palace,
has three consulates, the Amer
lean, the British and the French.

THE MILD BENCALI.

Life is taken very quietly by the
mild Bengali. He is not worried by
'busses and motor cars, but prefers TO

(they can hardly be said to liye) in
their grass huts, which are run up in
way that would make the most ac-

northeastern part of the province the
climate is notoriously unhealthy. and
malarial diseases OF every kind are

EXERCISES THAT BRING GRACE

NO woman in ordinarily good physi-
cal health should exercise for strength.
But every gymnastic instructor of the
best modern school will agree that if q
woman exercises for grace about the
best results will be attained. In the
new school Of physical development
no apparatus or implements whatever
are required, but the utmost use is
made of free gymnastics. The setting
up drill Of the West Point cadets and
OF the militia organizations is a good
basis for such drill, and the most i'm
portant of these exercises is the old
familiar one Of STOPPING to touch the
moor without bending the knees. This
exercise is invaluable for Strengthening
the neck and developing the muscles
OF the neck and shoulders and reduc-

main constituents of the ore, and the
sulphur is forced to part from the met

this the ore is brought from the mines

thirty days. When the roasting proc
