mourning are not chronologically COM

the undertakerish effect of black

True and False Mahometans.
(Birmingham P0st.)


An extraordinary scene was enacted
by real and a mock Mussulman out
side a boulevard cafe in Paris. a law
student. having had himself photo
graPhed in the costume of a Mahome-
tan mosque dignitary, walked about the
streets in uhe strange garb, and then
sat outside the Itfreshmant establish
ment with a glass Of abslnthe before
him. Soon there passed that way a
genuine follower of the prophet, who
could scarcely believe his eyes when
he cav a person dressed as an imaum
imbibing StrOns drink. Rushing at the
student, the Aussulman knocked the
glass out of his hand and smashed a
bottle also on the table at which the
apparent imaum sat. The student was
not backward in defending himself. and
as the two men were graphing with
one another the police interviewed and
took them both to the station. There

disre5pect toward the religion of the
prophet.

QUEER CHAMPIONS.
One Won a Silt Race, Another &
Smoking Contest.

(DOndOn Tit-BitS.)
Few of these outside competitors are
more interesting than the silt races Of
the south Of France, and the perform
ances achieved are triumphs of skill
and endurance. Not long ago. IN a race
at Bordeaux, a young slit racer. Anne
Martin, eclipsed all records by covering
distance of 275 miles in seventy-six
hours and thirty-five minutes, or at the
rate of about eighty-five miles a day
for more than three consecutive days.
The feat seems the more remarkable
from the fact that his stills weighed
no less than sixteen pounds. and were
six feet long.
Another curious competition is that
between the portanieree, or women pOr
tiers, in France, and the championship
is awarded to the woman who can
travel most quickly, carrying a heavy
burden on her head. In q recent con-
test Margaret PujOl, woman a little
under 30, covered nine kilOmeters (mOre
than five and half miles, in siXty-five
minutes. carrying on her head a bur-
den weighing fOrty-f1ve pounds.

Firth team, who rang a peal of double

changes on the local church bells. The
peal was commenced at o'clock in the
morning and continued for nine hours
and twenty-five minutes, a marvellous
feat of endurance as well as of skill.
The town of Lille, France, is a para
disc of the smoking champion. At
recent contest for the championship a
working man succeeded in reducing to
ashes an ounce and three-quarters Of
tobacco within the space of thirteen
minutes, a record which will be diff

Prior ta his visit to Butte, the impress
