It would do those good who write
passionate articles on Moorish slavery
to see the well fed, lazy slave of
Wazan lounging In the. sun. kif pipe
In mouth and scarcely doing a stroke
Of work from weeks end to weeks
end. The most ordinary English kitch-
enmaid would accomplish In a couple
of hours what a Wazan slave does In q
week. All are free to come and go as
they please, but nor avails himself
of this freedom. The reason Is not far
to seek. In Wazan they are fed and
clothed by the shereefs and on holi-
days and feast days receive presents Of
money.
Thus all the necessities Of life are
found them without their having to
work for them. which otherwise they
would be Obliged to do. Nor is 1t only
the necessities of life that are thus
supplied to them free, but they are
given each his room to live in and mar
ried at the expense Of the shereefs to
slave women. Their children, by law
slaves, are not necessarily so and are
often apprenticed to workmen to learn
some trade or If they wish are free to
seek their fortune in other lands

In singing his own songs Moore al
tered the arrangement Of the airs ana
sang the first part OF each verse twice
over at the beginning instead of as a
refrain Mt the end. In that glorious
song of his, "Oh, the Light Entranc-
mgr Moore's own singing Of 1t was a
matchless treat. With head appraised,
he seemed almost to revel In the fresh
morning light as he gazed on the
''sight entrancing," and his eye spar
killed. as files arrayed with helm and
blade" seemed TO pass before him,
while a deeper feeling awoke as the
passion of the song came upon him.
His voice, one Of infinite meditation,
but of small compass, rose clear and
thrilling to Its highest pitch as he
sang:
Go ask yon despot whether
His armed bands could bring such
hands
And hearts as ours together.
His song was an inspired recltative,
and be seemed to improvise as he ran
his fingers over the notes, and as the
tide of thought came over him it was
poured forth In harmonious cadences
of exquisite variety. Had he been tied
to a chair, with the added doom of a
prosy companion. he would have ex-
ploded and gone off like a rocket or a
bottle of sparkling 'champagne.-West-
minister Reviow.

| Immediately after a wedding which
took place In Washington the best man
started for South Africa, where he ~.
manned more than a year. On his 70
turn, SAYS a writer In Harper's Mag
azine, he was given a dinner and wore
evening clothes for the first time since
the wedding.
In the midst of the evening, FUN
bling In his waistsoat pocket, he as
tonished himself and his friends by
pulling out a hundred dollar bill.
Where had 1t come from? A sudden
thought flashed across his mind.
The next morning he went to the
clergyman who had married his
friends
do you remember marrying Mr.. Ar
mitage and Miss Bently about a year
ago?"
"oh, perfectly" replied the clergy
man. II see them constantly at my
church"
"Weli, will you pardon me II I ask
you q delicate question in strict con-
ndence. How much did you receive
rs your feer
II will return frankness with frank
ness,' returned the clergyman, smiling
whimsically. ut was the strangest
fee that ever came my way. After
the ceremony the best man, with a pro-
fusion of thanks, slipped into my hand
a small silver OF plug tobacco wrapped
In a. wad of parafin paper!"

A sfrht For sarah.

or a certain bishop, famous as about
the plainest man In England, the Liv-
erpool Post tells this pleasing tale:
One day as this homely parson sat
in an omnibus he was amazed by the
persistent staring Of a fellow passen-
ger. who presently u~nburdened himself
as follows:
you're a parson, amt you"
"Well, yes; that Is So"
"Look ERE, parson, would you mind
comm home with me to e my wife?"
Imagining the wife was sick and
needing assistance, the clergyman at
great Inconvenience to himself went
with the man. On arriving at the
house the man shouted to his wife to
come downstairs. and, pointing to the
astonished parson. said, with a grin
OF delight:
Look e ere, Sairry. Yer said this
mornin' as l wur the hugliest chap in
England. Now. just yer look at this
bloker'

Are you a minister's wifeY was q
query encountered so frequently by n
young matron in search OF a maid that
she scented n story.
"Why this mania to live under the
dropplngs Of the sanctuary" inquired
the matron or words to that effect.
Then 1t appeared that the minister's
family is considered a most desirable
place because of the opportunities for
witness fees in wedding cases. There
are few bridegrooms who come with
out q witness to be married who will
not bestow a generous tip upon the
girl who furnishes this small but nee
essary feature of the ceremony.-New

A Lucky Esca De.

An elephant hunt On the Muar river
is described In the Straits Times of
Singapore. The beast turned hunter,
and the man. fleeing, caught his foot In
a rattan creeper and fell. He dis
charged his rife, however, and that
fortunately frightened the animal
away. The Times continues: 1T is
not every man who has the good luck
when pursued by an elephant to be
crossing a swamp. so that when the
animal has carefully kneaded his pros
trate foe and passed along thinking
him completely pulverized the said
man should come up smiling behind
the elephant none the worse for his
massage treatment. This actually hap
