-. ~. FILTHY MECCA.
The Holy City IL the Dirtiest Spet In
All Islam.

The Holy City IL the Dirtiest spst In
Mecca, the holy city of the faith,
Is called by many names: Some call
1t "the Mother Of Purity" 1.-THE Cita,
del Of Arabs" 1.-THE Holy Mosque"
Others speak Of 1t as 1.-The Mother Of
Compassion" ''the Supreme sanctity,"
1.-THE Guardian Angel Of Ajem." The
devout never utter the word Mecca
without adding to it some adjective
Of praise, such as "the blessed" 1.-THE
exalted" 1.-THE great" "the highly es-
teemed," and SO on. The town itself
Is about two miles in length and one
mile in breadth.
The dtrtier the pilgrim keeps himself
the more respected he Is as a pious
Aoslem. Consequently Mecca, being
as 1t is the most sacred city Of the
faith, is literally the flthiest in Islam.
The most important streets measure
about ten yards in width. The rest
are mere lanes, wonderfully and pic
turesquely crooked and some six feet
wide. The streets were crowded with
tents, camels, mules. asses, horses,
pariah dogs and motley crowd of pill
grims, unspeakably disheveled and I'M
washed, while the lanes were abso-
lutely filled with every kind of offal
and refuse. Mecca, which lies in a
hollow, would be a regular cesspool
were it not for the pariah dogs, lean,
snarling brutes Of bright yellowish
color, that serve the purpose of scav.
engers. and the fierce, dry, Arabian
sun that is the sole sanitary inspector
In the country. The din the dogs make
at night is understandable. A pack of
3ackals would be quiet in comparison.

Morse and the Telegraph Operator
Immediately after the successful
completion Of the first transatlantic
cable and the consequent celebrations,
In which Of course Cyrus W. Field
bore prominent part, Professor Morse
had occasion to send telegram from
a small town in Ohio to his home IN
New York. He wrote out his message,
presented 1t to the operator, who rap
idly checked it off with his pencil and
CURLY demanded dollar.

"A clergyman who had neglected all

asked to deliver an address before an

He was discoursing on the stormy

make his remarks more pertinent to his

expressions, he said:
"Now. friends, you know that when
you are at sea in a storm the thing you
do is anchor"
A half concealed smoker spread over

Washington Irving when secretary
of legation in London was much
amused at the rollicking good humor
with which William ~. began his
reign, and he once tried to give les
son in dignity to the Duke of Sussex.
He had to accompany an eccentric
friend of meager and limping figure,
who persisted in wearing an eXtraor-
binary nondescript garb instead Of the
prescribed court dress to ST. James.
The ushers demurred; the foreign min
lister smiled. The Duke of Sussex
stopped Irving as he passed and whis-
pered, moving his thumb jerkingly up
and down. who's your friend Hoky
Poky!" THAT, sir" replied Irving en-
phatically, sis John Randolph, United

America 1t was all in vain. Some
time afterward Irving was dining with
the duke, whose first laughing inquiry
was, "And how is our friend Hoky

had come direct from Versailles.
The officer went out. and the general,
continuing his toilet. said to himself
that he was certain that that dispatch
was the Introduction of "Rabagas."
and, having friendly feeling for the
author. the general left the dispatch
unopened when lie left the room.
The next morning came messenger
posthaste from Versailles. " Rabagas'

Judge Sanborn's opinion, is whether
the volunteer army is the same as the
regular army, or whether it is one of
the "other forces" mentioned in article
II. The opinion establishes the fact
that the volunteer army is at all times
distinct from the regular army.
Dening will be released from the
Fort Leavenworth penitentiary within
GO days, and all other former members
of, the volunteer army who are confined
in federal prisons on sentences con-
victed by courts-martial of regular
army officers will also be liberated as
the result of today's decision, it is
stated. Il. A. Roster, United States
district attorney, estimates the number
of such cases at 200.
Deming was captain in the sub
sistence department of the volunteer
army. He was commissioned under the
act of 1899, providing for the enlist
ment of soldiers for the Philippine war.
The charge against him related to his
accounts.

THE TWICE COOKED FOOD
COOK RESPONSIBLE.
A Big Burden Has Been Placed on
Her Shoulders.

Investigators who have made a study
of foods and their proper preparation,
state that stomach troubles originate
in large number of cases from the
improper preparation of the food.
There is right and a wrong way
many cooks take the trouble to prop
erly prepare the oatmeal or other
breakfast food for the morning meal?
In most homes little water Is poured
over the cereal and allowed to cook
Il few minutes and then served, Pre-.
pared in this manner they abound in
starch, and form starchy, sticky
mass in the stomach which Is not
only difficult to digest, but retards
the assimilation of other foods.
To render oatmeal and other cereals
easy of digestion and in proper condi-
tion for the stomach. the starch must
be converted into deXtrin. This re-
quires five hours constant cooking.
The average housewife has not the
time or patience to prepare her oat-
meal in this manner; and TO meet the
demand for p6latable and nutritious
cereal food that contains all the ele-
menls of nutrition In n dlgestibe
forn, MaltNut was manufactured.
1t is made from n combination of
wheat and the oil of nuts, both rem
