The Sacred Camel's Journey.

In former years the sacred camefs
journey, with the gifts Of the sultan to
the shrine of the prophet, which takes
place annually, was made entirely on
foot from Constantinople to Mecca.
Modern ingenuity, with its ever ready
desire to deprive the world of the pic
turesqun and add the machine under
the plea Of g"Hater saving of brute
strength, now conveys the camel half
the way by transport, from Scutari to
Beirut.
It still, however. makes the solemn
and time hOnored start from the palace
at Scutari, crossing the Bosporus in
great state amid salvos of cannon and
accompanied by all high officials and
religious dignitaries mounted upon and
guarding numerous mules loaded with
boxes. costly gifts and specie required
on the journey. Embroidered saddle
cloths and ostrich plunIcs ad0rn the

in gorgeous robes Of yellow, green, blue

the land journey at Beirut, it is joined

time it eventually arrives at Mecca this
number has swelled to thousands of
