The Women of Damascus.

The women of Damascus-that is, the
Moslem women-are more closely veil
ed than those Of Constantinople and
other eastern cities because the people
here are more tenacious in the observ-
nee of the ancient customs of their
race and the requirements of their re-
ligion. The wells are thicker, also, and
cover the entire face. Some of them
are figured SO that the concealment is
eve more complete.
Greeks, Jews and Armenians do not
wear wells, and some of them are very
handsome, particularly the Jewish wo-
men. Their eyes, complexion and hair
are superb. The types of oriental love
Illness remind you Of Solomon's Song.
No women are employed about the
hotels or restaurants. All the ''domes-
tic" work is done by men. In the shops
and manufactures of Damascus thou
sands of women and girls are employ
ed, but they are exclusively Greeks and
Jews. No Moslem would permit his
wife, daughter or sister to appear in a
shop Or any other place where men are
employed.-Chicago Record Herald.

Coronation Blunder..

There We're all sorts of blunders made
at Queen Victoria,s coronation, and the
queen never knew what she was to do
next. They made her leave her chair
and enter st. Edwards chapel before
the prayer was concluded, much to the
discontinue Of the archbishop.
The ruby coronation ring, according
to the rubric, should go on the fourth
finger. In this. case the ring had been
made for the little finger. which the
queen accordingly held out when the
proper time came. The archbishop re-
fused to put it on that finger and said
it must go on the fourth. The queen
demonstrated, declaring that she could
not get it on. but the archbishop insist
ed that it had to go. Accordingly the
other rings were taken off. and the
new one was forced on with such pain
that as 500 as the ceremony was over
the queen had to battle her finger in ice
water to get it off.-Saturday Evening

Read 1t In His Newspaper.

George Scheub, a well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is
a constant reader of the Dayton Vol
k%zzeitung. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best in it's
columns, and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying a bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says, "After
using the Pain Balm for a few days,
my wife said to me, i feel as though
tire contents OF the bottle the unbear-
able pains had vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This
valuable liniment is for sale by w. A.

Highest Market Prices always paie

The Children's Day exercises at the
Presbyterian church near Old Ham
lin came off according to program, on
last Sunday evening. A large attend
ance, appropriate speaking by the
little ones and excellent music served
to highly entertain the audience.
August Burr has finished that
large barn, four miles east of town,
and in order to give it the proper
start dedicated it to its proper use by
giving a large country dance within
its walls, last Friday night. There
were forty-two numbers out yet they
had all the dancing they wanted, and
were royalty entertained.
Here are a few of the names of
farmers and the plumber OF wagon
loads of swine sold the past week in.

j. P. Jensen four, James East one,
James Blake two, j. E. Crees one,
Marsh McNutt one, M. E. Mortensen
three, r. Lieb two, H. Rattenborg
four, P. n. Lauritzen one, Fred Soble
one, Jens Anderson one.
The Children's Day exercises at the
Evangelical church., were an all
around success. The proceeds of the
entertainment amounted to five dol
lars. The pieces spoken nicely and the
song service excellent. The room was
beautifully decorated with the richest
of roses and other flowers. In fact the
promotersot the whole program from
start to finish feel repaid, although
thefsize Of the audience was not large.

what the State Veterinary and local

MohAMMEDANs AT PRAYER

They Always Respond When the
Voice of the Muezzin 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 akbar!!' (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 a dozen
or forty times, according to the piety
of the worshiper, and he holds a string
of beads in his hands to keep tally. His
obligations are then accomplished, but
he can go 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.

one of Rhodes, Ideas.

A well known peer one asked Cecil
Rhodes to stand godfather to his son,
and he replied that he would on one
condition, which was that he might in
vest at once f10O in the boys name
and give f1OO on each succeeding birth
day, provided that it should all go on
at compound interest until the boy was
old enough to begin to spend the inter
est, and that then he might yearly de.
eide on what to spend it, SO long as it
was not on himself. "This," said Mr..
Rhodes, twill do two things-irst, it
will teach your boy how to spend mon
ey, and, secondly, it will make him un-
selfish and kind to those in need"

Human HolIowness.

If we look on the doings Of a man
with a merely worldly eye and pierce
below the surface of character, we are
apt to feel bitter scorn and disgust for
our fellow creatures. We have lived to
see human ~hollowness, the ashes Of the
Dead sea shore, the falseness Of what
seemed so fair, the moldering beneath
the whited sepulcher. and no wonder If
we are tempted to think Friendship all
a cheat, smiles hypocrisy, words de.

times.-Robertson.

Matters Up With the New Yorker.
When the young man from Florida
came to live in New York, he woke up
one morning last winter, and, going to
the window, he looked out on what was
to him a novel scene. 1t was a snow
storm, the first he had ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes, he ran into
the street. He stopped and gathered
handfuls of snow and threw them in
the air. He jumped into a drift and
sent it flying with his feet. He finally
lay down and rolled in it, all the time
shouting and laughing at the top of his
voice.
One of the crowd which had gathered
to watch his antics went up to him and
told him how his mother used to cure
fits and volunteered to try it on him.
81 haven't any fit" the young man
said.

II you nave TO right u Boa.

If any reader of this article should
ever be SO unfortunate as to expert
ence the embrace of a boa constructor,
1t is recommended that he try to re-
lease himself by taking hold of the
creatures tail and unwinding it from
that end. 1t can be easily unwound in
that way, but otherwise it is not posi-
Bile. The way to kill a snake is not to
attempt to crush it's head, the bones of
which are very hard, but to strike the
tail, where the spinal cord is but thinly
covered by bone and suffers readily
from injury. 1t is the same with an
eel. Hit the tail two or three times
against any hard substance, and the
eel quickly dies
The boas are not venomous, but their
fangs are sufficiently powerful to in
fict serious wounds.
