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

tales and stories of adventure, which

A Mussulman is forbidden to sell a
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
say to the proprietor:

debted to you if you will present me
with copy of the Koran"
LAS am devout believer" the pro-
prietor will answer, II think it my duty
to assist any unbeliever who desires to
instruct himself in our law. Moreover,
you seem to be serious man, and
am convinced that it is not vain curl
osity which prompts you to obtain a
copy Of the Koran, but sincere desire
to study our religion. Therefore l am
willing to make you a present of this
copy, though I value it highly, for
paid good price for it,
You will then put the book in your
pocket, and 4 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 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

1t seems that Mr. Murray came to this
city some time that day and at one
