ORIENTAL GEOGRAPHY.
Sultan of Morocco Wanted Map
Showing His Dominion ms Fill
Ing a Hemisphere.

Talking one day with Frenchman
who dwelt on the frontier between
Morocco and Algeria, the sultan of
Morocco wished to be exactly in
formed as to the position of the
frontier line, says Golden Days.
To explain it the Frenchman laid
before him a map, with the names of
in Arabic.
The sultan was amazed at the size
of this map, such as he had never
seen before. However, not wishing
to seem Inundated, he said to the
Frenchman:
.'Oh. / have a map, too! / believe
IL is better than yours, for that mat
ter"
And he signed to his chamberlain,
who left the room, and returned
with long, narrow box. Out of this
he took a stick covered with linen,
stretched over ribs, which, when
opened out, formed terrestrial
globe, the stick being the axis. On
this globe Morocco was about as
large as his little finger-nail.
II was obliged to make the best of
it," said the sultan, pointing sadly to
the tiny space his dominions occu-
pied on the face of the earth. II
asked learned man to make me a
globe like this with one side of it
filed by Morocco and the rest of the
world on the other. But he could
not do it."

THE DEUTscHLAND's LARDER,
An Average List Of the Provision Car
ried for . Regular Trip
Across the Ocean.

For the lover of statistics for their
own sake, and incidentally for the
man who likes to eat well, the list of
the contents of an ocean liners lar
der is attractive reading, says the
New York Sun. Here, for instance,
is about an average supply aboard
the Deutschland at the beginning OF
every voyage between this port and
Hamburg, and, of course, all the
other ships are provisioned in about
the same way.
In the first place there is 40 tons
Of ice to keep things >eatable and
drinkable, and these are the things
that were on the ice on a recent trip
across: Fourteen beeves, 10 calves,
80 sheep, 20 lambs, o hogs, 1900
chickens, geese and game birds, 1,700
pounds Of fish, 400 pounds Of tongues
and sweetbreads, 100 dozens of
eggs, IA barrels of oysters and clans,
IT'S barrels of potatoes, rs barrels of
other vegetables, 20 crates of toma-
toes, and celery, 200 dozen heads of
lettuce, 90 barrels of flour, GOO
pounds of oatmeal and hominy, 1900
pounds of butter, 1900 quarts of
milk, 300 quarts of cream, 1000 big
moulds of ice cream, four tons of
fruit, $4,000 quarts of wine and liq-
uor, $4,000 quarts of beer and 400
tons of drinking water.
or course all this is not used on
each trip but enough is carried to
provide a liberal margin.

A newspaper published in Nice,
France loudly declares against the
arrogant and ilLsmelling automobile.
It says: "These vehicles are bringing
about the complete ruin of the coast as
well as of all the watering places, by
taking possession of the principal
roads and driveways and speeding
over them. Persons who walk on the
roads or who ride in other carriages
are virtually taking their lives in their
hands. The so-called automobile
week which we have just had at Nice
has been veritable scandal. During
whole days the public was debarred
from the, Promenade des Anglais.
More than 100000 persons were af-
fronted in order that few million
aires might be satisfied"

wRIsKY-LovINo FEET.


There is . man overin brooklyn who
h . drunkard only from his ankles
down, says the New York Times.
That IL to say, while he never puts
drop Of intoxicating liquor into his
stomach. his feet are confirmed
topers. They must have their whis-
Ky at regular intervals each day or
their owner sufferA
The man who possesses these whis-
ky-loving feet is employed in one of
the city departments In the municipal
building, in Borough Hall square. At
least half dozen times each day he
appears in q popular cafe ON Fulton
street, near Red Hook lane, and or
ders whisky. He fills glass almost
to the brim with the liquor, but has
never been seen to drink any Of IL.
Instead, he stoops down. unlaces ono
Of his shoes, and pours half Of the
whisky into It. Then he pours the
other half Of the liquor into the sec
ond shoe.
This strange performance long pun
Fled the bartenders In the place until
one day one of them made bold to
ask the man why he disposed of the
whisky in SO Queer way. The man
explained that for years he had had
4 peculiar trouble with his feet. One
day he accidentally found that whis-
Ky, when applied to the aching feet,
drove away the pain. When at homo
Il was an easy matter for him to re-
move his shoes and battle the feet In
the liquor, but when about in the city
this could not be done conveniently.
He finally hit upon the expedient OF
pouring whisky into his shoes, thus
soaking the feet and relieving the
pain. These whisky baths for his
feet formed quite an item of expense
each day, but the relief obtained was
well worth it.

social ostracism and the rest of the penalties inflicted
by society deal only with externas they don't touch
the himself-the ego, or soul, or whatever you
choose to call it. Sin and punishment go hand in

moment the sin is committed Whether it is found

does, every cruel thing, every cowardly act or
thought, leaves it's indelible impression the man
himself and drags him toward the brute level That
is the real punishment and it falls on rich and poor
alike.
