learned that they were talking over the
changes which had come over that par
tlcular portion of Sixth street within
their recollection. Whpt rs now Mullins

An uncomfortabIe superstItIon.

A very uncomfortable superstition
prevails in the Minieh province. When
ever n pigeon house is to be made the
fellaheen consider that the pottery
used in its construction should be
baked by the help Of a human body.
A pigeon house was TO be erected in
the beginning Of this month at the VII
lage of BENZ SoomroolS, in this province,
and this necessary preliminary of its
contraction was not forgotten. A
young child was first caught, and in
spite Of its struggles, was put in an
oven and burnt alive while the pottery
was baked with the aid of this human
holocaust. Two men, one of them pot
ter by trade, have been arrested on sus-
picion Of having taken part in this old
custom.-Egyptian (Cairo) Gazette.
