The Ram Feast.

In Morocco the strange season of the
Mohammedan new year. beginning
March 8, is generally called "Ait-el-
Hanwela," the ram feast. The people
of Morocco pay more elaborate atten-
ton to the item of sacrifice than any
other Moslems. In every town a su-
preme offering of ram or he goat
takes place at the door of the principal
mosque. Immediately after it is struck
by the official imam in presence of the
multitude it is flung on the shoulders
of stalwart Moor, who. eXerting his
utmost strength runs like a deer
through the narrow streets, pursued
by rabble. The poor animal is pelted
with stones by boys and is jeered at
with excavations from every house, as
it is reputed to be carrying the sins of
the people. The man rushes along with
his burden till he reaches the door of
the cadi's palace. If the animal is still
breathing, the augury is excellent, for
good luck is to be expected all through
the year. But if the ram is dead all
sorts of evil representations are NUT
tered.

The Name Moses.

1t Is a curious fact, unknown per-
haps TO majority Of readers, that
Moses of Scriptural fame was called
by eight different names in various
places in the Bible. Bathia, the daugh-
ter of Pharaoh, called him Moses be-
cause she drew him out of the water
Jochebed, his mother, called him Jeku-
thiel, saying, II had hoped for him" "
Miriam, his sister, called him Jared
because she had descended after him
into the water to see what his end
would be. Aaron called his brother
Abb Zanuch because his father had de-
serted their mother Amram, the ia
Their of Moses, called the boy Chabar
because he was again reunited to the
mother of the lad.
Kehath, the grandfather of Moses,
called him Abigdor because God had
repaired the breach in the house Of
jacob. The nurse of the grandfather
Of Moses called him Abb Socho because
he was once hidden three months in
the Tabernacle. All Israel called him
Shemaiah because Gin his days God
heard their cries and rescued them
from their oppressors."

A Useful Coffin,

A writer in an English church maya
zine once found in a GOLFERS cottage
in Staffordshire coffin used as
bread and cheese cupboard Notwith-
standing his wife's remonstrance, he
told the story of the coffin as follows:
Eighteen years ago l ordered that
coffin. The wife and me used to have
a good many words. One day she said,
I'll niver be content till 1 see thee in
thy coffin Well lass l said if that
III content thee it III soon be done
Next day l gave directions to have
the thing made. In a few days it
came home to the wife's horror got
into it and said, Now. lass, are thee
content:' She began to cry and want
ed the 'horrid thing taken away. But
that l wouldn't allow. In the end she
got accustomed To seem it. and. as We
wanted to turn it TO some use. we had
some shelves put in and made it into
bread and cheese cupboard. We have
niyer Quar'"led since it came"

The Charitable Americans.

The Americans are looked upon by
the peoples of Europe as the most
wasteful persons in the world, and
they do spend their money with free
dom unknown elsewhere because they
have the money to spend. But with all
their apparent carelessness there is no
country in the world nor is there rec
ord of any in which the people devote
so much to the welfare Of the unfOrtu-
nate and the wretched. The practice
has become habit and is looked upon
rightly enough as an obligation. No
one can free himself from it. Every
one has a neighbor somewhere. and he
will not fulfill his obligation merely by
denying himself of some luxury or
pleasure unless the self denial bene-
fits his unfortunate neighbor.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

The Cranberry.

The value Of the cranberry as me-
dicinal agent was early recognized by
the American aborigines who prepared
ON from poisoned arrows. On the same
principle they are used now as rem
edy for erysipelas, taken internally or
applied as a poultice. In malarial and
typhoid conditions the acid of the fruit
is specially commended. while dyspep-
ties who lack gastric juice are also Of
fered cranberries. Eaten raw they are
said to be an excellent remedy for bill
iousness. AS a health food cranber-
ries should not be strained, as too much
of their substance is lost.

prefs.re,. ylogs 10 Land.

They tell Z good one on a prominent
real estate man of Waurika. Some
time ago lie carried prospector over
on Beaver creek to show him Il certain
claim. He told the man that it was
an exceptionally fine claim, that the
land did not overflow and that he
would sell it to him for $4,000. The
man looked around and discovered
some red mud way up in tree and
asked the real estate man what caused
that mud in the tree tops if the land
did not overflow The agent promptly
replied that there was kind of hog
raised over in the Chickasaw country
which used to range on the creek and
that they rubbed the mud on the trees.
The prospector took look over the
land, glanced up in the tree again and
told the Waurika man that he wouldn't
take the claim, but he would give him
$4,000 for couple of those hogs

How England Drank In 1919.

How England Drank In 1919.
This is how our forefathers managed
In time when tea and coffee were
unknown and beer was the common
beverage Of the Englishman. In the
Northumberland Household Book, COM
menced in 1912, we have an exhaustive
account Of the domestic economy of the
great Percy family, and from it we
learn that at breakfast, which was
served at o'clock in the morning, the
earl and countess had a quart of beer
and quart of wine between them;
two sons, "AIy Lorde Percy and Mais-
ter Percy" a polite 1.-TWO quarts) of
beer, and two children in the "Nurcy"
nursery quart of beer. For dinner
at 10 o'clock, my lord and lady had a
gallon Of beer and polite of wine, the
two boys quart of beer and the youn-
ger children pottle of beer. At sup
per, at o'clock, the earl and countess
shared pottle of beer and a polite of
wine; the children also had their al.
lowance. For livery" which was
served in the bedroom between and
8 o'clock in the evening, the parents
were supplied with a gallon of beer
and quart Of wine and each pair Of
children with pottle of beer. Surely
there could in this case have been no
drinking between meals" : London

Happiness? Sooth to say, it does not
exist or, rather destiny serves it out
to us in fractions in small doses. no.
meopathically. Happiness is made up
of halts. In the rough road stage Of
life, SO long and yet so short there are
furtive moments when we sit down by
the wayside and would gladly stop
there, so no farther, sleep a little on
the good earth which will one day em,
brace us. And Immediately the march,
march, of Bossuet rings out and urges
us on. A halt? Why? Up and on.
quick; we must bark forward; life con
tinues. We rise and take up our bur
den again. March! March!-Jules Cla-

Sugar Making In 1900.

The historian Latittall, the period Of
whose observation dated back to
17OO-05, describes how in March the
Indians make transverse incisions with
their hatchets, from which trickles an
abundance of water, which they after
ward boil over fire. He says the
sugar thus made has nearly always a
burned taste, but that the French
make it better than the Indian women,
from whom they learned how to make
it. Bossu, writing in 1856, is equally
explicit as to the source of sugar max
ing.

The SHEAF has, III season and out
of season, for many years, advocated
diversified farming for the Red Riv-
er valley, and it is gratifying to note
that what it has said has not been
wholly in vain. There is a great
awakening among the farmers in
Marshall county on this subject, not
as much as would be desirable, but
nevertheless an awakening to the
necessity of adopting different
system of farming than exclusive
wheat raising. The farmers are 90
ing more and more into stock, and
every year their income is increas-
ing from the sale Of beef cattle,
sheep, poultry, butter, eggs and
other products of the farm besides
wheat. AS an indication, may be
cited the large number Of cream sep.
arators that have been bought by
the farmers during the past few.
years A cheese factory is estab-
lished in the county, and large guam
tities>of cream are being shipped to
the cold storage houses and, to
'creameries. AS yet no creamery is
established in the county, but we
hope the time is not far distant when
several Of these wealth producers

which gasoline is kept be painted
red and plainly labelled with. the

mistake in the law as published,
