A COPY OF THE KORAN.

How a Foreigner Must Go About
Purchasing 1t In StambOul.
In Stamboul there are several book
stores the proprietors of which are Ell
ther Persians, Arabians, Abyssinians
or Turks. Not in the frequented streets
are these stores, but in dark and mar
row alleys. The books in them COM
prise various editions of the Koran,
translated into all the languages Of the
orient; theological and historical trea-
tises on the Koran in the Turkish, Per
sian and Arabic tongues, annals which
clearly prove that all the sultans Of the
Ottoman dynasty were prodigies Of
genius and sanctity; marvellous fairy
tales and stories of adventure, which
are more or less fantastic and the sole
object of which is to prove that no one
should be considered honest, intelligent
or happy unless he is Turkish Mus
snlfnan, unless he venerates the sultan,
unless he lives in Stamboul all his life
without ever quitting it even for day
and unless he regards as utterly fabu-
Ians d 4 that he hears about Europe.
a MussuIman is forbidden to sell
copy of the Koran, and therefore for
eigner who desires to purchase the sa-
cred book must proceed as follows: Go
into the bookstore, having on your face
as pious an expression as possible, and
say to the proprietor:
81 shall consider myself eternally in
debted to you if you will present me
with copy of the Koran"
"As I am a devout believer" the pro-
prietor will answer, Il think it my duty
to assist any unbeliever who desires to
instruct himself in our law. Moreover,
you seem to be a serious man, and
am convinced that it is not vain curl
osity which prompts you to obtain a
copy Of the Koran, but a sincere desire
to study our religion. Therefore ! am
willing to make you present of this
copy, though 1 value it highly, for
paid good price for it."
You will then put the book in your
pocket, and minute or two later the
proprietor will say, 81 shall consider
myself eternally your debtor If you
will make me a present of -" nam
ing a certain sum. If you think the
price too high, you may bargain with
him, but you must take care not to
make the slightest allusion to the copy
of the Koran in your pocket, for in dis
posing of it the proprietor has clearly
broken the law, and it would not be
good policy for you to remind him of
that fact.

How Northern Indians Secure Ven2s
SON For Their Larders.
A New Yorker who lives a small frac-
ton of the time in the city, being usual
~ long distances away in pursuit Of
game, tells Of the method pursued by
the Indians of British Columbia in TAX
ing deer. They have evolved system
this huntsman says, that shows prac-
tical skill and sympathy and knowledge
of natural conditions. He says:
'"The Indians, to begin with, do not
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting.
They go for deer as a housekeeper goes
to market for beef, and, what's more
in British Columbia, at any rate-they
don't go often. Salmon is plentiful in
the rivers and is easily caught, so why
chase animals when they can secure
fish? 1t is something as it is in New
foundland, where l. went a couple OF
seasons ago. There the prevailing fish.
as you might say, is cod, and, though
there is no end to the variety of edible
fish that can be taken, the natives new
er think of eating anything else. Cod
is plentiful, and they form the habit, l
suppose. This is so tngrained that they
call Goldfish fish simply. The genus Is
divided into cod and the rest Of fish.
"Well, when the British Columbia In
dian makes up his mind for venison, he
goes at it Systematically and without
sentiment. A group of half dozen or
ten men split and take either end OF
valley Then they proceed along the
mountain slope from the two ends to
the center. They choose the sheltered
side Of the valley on which the deer
seek to escape the wind. Each party
covers the mountain side, some near the
foot and some at the top and others be-
tween the lines; keeping abreast by an
initiated owl hoot The deer, on wind
ing pursuit, have the trick of leaping
away down the slope, unlike the goats.
which go up, and thus between the two
approaching parties they are swept to-
gether at the middle Of the valley. A
good sized herd will thus be killed off
and the Indians supplied for many
weeks by two or three days exertion."

Kant's RelaxatiOns.

The only relaxation Kant, the cele-
brated German philosopher, allowed
himself was walk, which he invaria-
bly, took during his life at Konigsberg
at about the same hour every afternoon.
His usual stroll was along the banks Of
the Pregel toward the Friedrich's fort,
and in these walks he was always a
careful observer of the phenomena Of
nature He told his friends one day
how, as he passed certain building in
his daily walk, he had noticed several
young swallows lying dead upon the
ground.
On looking up he discovered, as he
fancied, that the old birds were actual
ly throwing their young ones out of the
nests. 1t was season remarkable for
the scarcity of insects, and the birds
were apparently sacrificing some or
their progeny to save the rest. "At
this" added Kant, "my intellect was
hushed The only thing to do here was
to fall down and worship."-Chambers'

saying, "No, sir; l gathered that rose

Brain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind Of food il
needed for brain another for muscles
and still another for bones. A cor.
rect diet will not only nourish a par
ticular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nu.
triment is destroyed BY indigestion On
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses OF
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine Of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifies
the blood, and makes you feel buoy
ant and vigorous. You can get this
reliable remedy at all druggists. Price
