No Plumbers in Heaven.

Rain had fallen almost steadily for
several days. Johnny, the plumbers
son, was displeased, as the dampness
kept him in the house. One evening he
said to his father:
"The angels can't be very thoughtful
of the people down here, or they'd have
their leaky pipes fixed"
Then the lads business instinct as
serted itself: "Pop, why don't you go
to Heaven?" he asked, after a mo-
ment's cogitating. Maybe there amt
any plumbers there, and you'd get the
iob."-N. Y. Times.

rHE TOOTHPICK.

All true Moslems when eating must
begin with salt and finish with vinegar
If they begin with salt they will escape
the contagion of seventy diseases. If
they finish with vinegar their worldly
prosperity will continue to increase.
The host is in etiquette bound to be the
first to start eating and the last to
leave off. Toothpicking is considered
an act Of grace in the true Moslem,
for Gabriel is reported to have brought
a toothpick from heaven for the
prophet after every meal. The priests
recite certain passages Of the Koran
before and after lunch and dinner and
also before drinking water at any hour
Of the day.
The pious believer, before going to
bed, must perform his additions and
say his prayers.
Prayers are also said against mos
quitOeS and other insects. This cleanses
the conscience Of the true Moslem, il
it fail in preserving the skin. The
Eastern peoples in general and the
Mohammedans in particular are early
risers. Sleep after morning prayers.
which are said before sunrise, is sure
to cause folly; sleep in the middle OF
the day is regarded as necessary and
suitable to work; and sleep before even.
| ing prayers has the same effect as that
after the devotions Of the early morn
| ing. The Mohammedans believe that
the prophets slept on their backs. so
| as to be able to converse with the
angels at any hour of the night; that
| the faithful should sleep on their right
sides, and the kafirs on their left, and
that the deves take their rest on their
| stomachs.
