MoHAMMEDANs AT PRAYER
They Always Respond When the
Voice OF the Muezxin Calls.

They Always Respond When the
Voice OF the Muexxin Calls.
The Mohammedan begins his prayer
standing, with his hands outspread
and his thumbs touching the lobes Of
his ears. In this position he repeats
certain passages from the Koran, then
brings his hands down to his girdle,
folds them and recites several other
passages from the same book. Next he
bends forward, rests both hands upon
his knees and repeats three times with
bowed head the formula of prayer to
God, the most great. Then he rises and
cries. "Allah hu akbarv' God Is great)
sixteen times.
He then drops forward until his fore
head touches the ground between his
extended hands. He strikes his head
upon the floor at least three times, pro-
claiming his humility, and often a doz-
en- and sometimes twenty times the act
will be repeated, according to his de-
sire to show humility and repentance.
He then returns to his knees and, set
Ting back upon his heels, repeats a
ritual. Next, arising to his feet, he
holds his hands and concludes the
prayer, repeating over and again the
words, "There is no god but God, and
Mohammed is his prophet"
This may be repeated once or dozen
or forty times, according to the piety
Of the worshiper, and he holds string
of beads In his hands to keep tally. His
obligations are then accomplished, but
he can so through the same ritual
again as many times as he likes. The
more frequently he does so the better
Moslem he Is. His piety Is measured
by the number of times he repeats his
prayers, and, like the Pharisees of the
Scriptures, he prays In public places.
No matter where he happens to be or
by whom he is surrounded, whether at
labor in the fields or selling goods in
his shop or however he may be en-
ployed, the Mussulman never forgets
to pray when the voice Of the muezzin
reminds him that the hour for devotion
has arrived.

TAINTED and FELL upon
4 HOT STOVE"

Under that headline the morning
papers recently told the story of an un-
fortunate woman who was badly burned.
She was subject to fainting fits, and had
often fallen to the floor unconscious.
But this time she happened to be at work
in the kitchen, and was in the very act
of placing dish upon the cookstove
when she tainted and fell forward, badly
burning herself before help arrived.
The person who is subject to fainting
fits is not only in miserable but a dan
gerous condition. There is always the
possibility of being overtaken by the
malady under circumstances which may
result in catastrophy similar to that Of

A Story of Browning,

Browning himself couldn't always ex-
plain his meaning ut first reading. DR..
Furnivall, founder of the English
Browning society, frequently consulted
the poet as to the meaning of some
passage In his works. "Bless me-"
Browning would say, "T really have
forgotten what did mean. and as I
haven't got a copy Of my works by
me l really can't enlighten you. Just
lend me the book, there's a good fel-
low. I'll look it over at my leisure and
try to find out what was in my mind
at the time"

Inherent Dread Of Cats For Dogs

The instructive fear which cats have
Of dogs Is illustrated very amusingly
by stroking q dog and then caressing
blind and newborn kitten with the
same hand that has touched the dog.
At once the kitten will spit and fluff
itself up in the most absurd way, dis
tinguishing the smell Of the beast
which experience for thousands Of gen.
