WHEN A SULTAN TRAVELS.
Cavalcade of the Sultan of Morocco
Not an Imposing Spectacle

From the Century.
In the morning at o'clock the bugle
sounded to break camp. The foot soldiers
arose, pulled up their tent pegs and were
away in the darkness Gradually the re-
naming tents came down and the throng
of Arabs were on the move. The sultan's
tent remained. A little to one side his
ministers and kaids patiently waited, the
latter forming a large hollow square, at
one end of which stood the ministers, while
in front of them a spacious blue and gold
chair awaited its sacred occupant.
Presently the wall opened and he ap-
peared. his mask-like visage turning neither
right nor left. With garments swaying
rhythmically he walked to the chair and
seated himself. A slave at his side famed
him with white silken cloth to defend
his sacred master from imaginary insects.
He whispered to the slave, who called to
one of the ministers. Hurredly he ap-
peared, lowering his hood. Then, after
removing his slipper just back of his ma
jesty, presented himself and after short
conversation was dismissed. Presently five
gorgeously saddled horses were brought
before their royal master, who with a mo-
ton of his hand, chose one, the others be-
ing taken away. While he rose with great
solemnity and. mounting, rode to all sides
of the square, to be thrice saluted by each
body of soldiers. This ceremony COM
pleted. the musicians, armed with oboes
and tomtoms, disturbed the atmosphere
with a doleful, prehistoric dirge, and the
procession was under way. 1t was nothing
but ENHANCEMENT of artillery, infantry
flags, horsemen and court officials in mad
riot, but, as in threshing machine tearing
its insides furiously. the wheat, straw and
chaff found their channels at once, and
left the ignorant behOlder spellbound Be-
hold, they were moving with military pre-
cision. a brother of the sultan at the head
followed by an extremely wide row of
mounted soldiers carrying silken standards
of all colors.
Then came the artillery, rafting and
humping. and coming to grief often where
the roads were bad. Next followed mount
ed soldiers and score of government off,

riding alone, came the kaid of the mishwa

After him followed four led horses
abreast. all richly saddled. for the sultan's
use, should he tire of his mount Then.
with some distance Intervening came the
sultan alone, save for SIX black slaves who
kept up a continual waiting of white cloths
in the direction of his face
a palanquin containing the blue chair
then appeared, carried between two mules
just in front of another row of mounted
standard bearers. followed by the minister
of war and the important members of the
court. All were obliged to turn aside and
make way for this cavalcade

did not reply to his letter. Fisher then left
New York and went to Albany, from which
place he wrote again to the young woman,
saying that he would not burden her again
with his petitions, and that he intended to
commit suicide The young woman then
replied to his letter and asked his forgive

Another regular article of export to CEN
trail Asia is the Ohio grapevine cutting.
The vineyards of central Asia are all Off
shoots from American vines, and the fruit
is priced above all others in Russia proper
for it's delicacy and flavor. Twenty to thity
tons of American grapes to the acre is
common yield in central Asia, and the
American vine is free from parasites, it is
being introduced everywhere the world
over, from South Africa to northern China
and Japan. We still export tobacco plants
to Russian Asia, SO that the Russian to-
bacco, grape, cotton and wheat crops are
all American once removed.
No oriental fable is stranger than the
accomplishments of the up-to-date Yankee
drummer. In Bagdad, the home of Alad-
din, he offers new American lamps that
burn either Russian or Ohio OIL for the old
battered bronze tallow burners of the Bag
dad housewife, and as these time-worn
oriental lamps find ready sale in New
York the enterprising drummer who intro
duced the American lamp to Bagdad was
well repaid for his trouble. Now, however,
American lamps are becoming drug in the
Bagdad market, and the supply of old
lamps is rapidly giving out as our lamp
trade with Turkey increases.

DIVORCE seems to be u question

clergy. Cardinal Gibbons recently
referred to the divorce mills as "a
social seourge more bligb'ing aud
destructive of family life than
Mormonism.' There are two sides
to the question. There are circum-
stances that Justify divorce. aud
hence there should be wise and
iudicious divorce laws where a snit

Their firing is a much more laborious
task for the fireman. Business has in
creased more rapidly than the equip
ment of the roads. There is scarcity
of men to do the work. All these con-
ditions add to the hardships of the
freight engineer.
fireman relates that his engineer
frequently has gone to sleep on his
seat from exhaustion while the train
was running at thirty miles an hour,
and that he has awakened him in time
to make the stops at stations. He says
that he has left his engineer sleeping
in station while he ran the train
back for water for which the man had
forgotten to stop.
a railroad man says: after a man
has been under the strain for thirty
hours his eyes may remain open. but
he doesn't realize what he is doing.
