logical gardens when approached upon
the subject Of the porcupine's quilts,
"yet eight out Of ten visitors to the
gardens keep at a respectful distance
from the porcupine, lest he exercise
his fancied skill in throwing his spines
or quilts The idea, no doubt arose
from the fact that after any battle
this animals enemy is certain to find
these weapons sticking into his body.
Naturally, ignorant persons came to
believe that the porcupine had thrown
them. Some of these sharp prickles
are 70 inches in length, and they come
out so easily that a slight pressure
against one brings it out Of its rightfui

A FORGOTTEN ART.
Creek Indians No Longer Skilled in
Manufacture Of Earthenware.

From the ST. Louis Post Dispatch
Civilization has caused the making of
baskets and earhenware vessels to become
lost art among the Creek Indians who In
early days were skilled In their manufac-
ture. The small cost of these articles at
stores made sheir purchase more desirable
than the toll of weaving and molding them
at home. The baskets and pottery were
made exclusively by the women

AN ORIENTAL MAIL SERVICE.
Curious System in the Land of 1,OO1

From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post
There is glamour around Bagdad a halo
OF mystery tinged with pomp and splendor.

scene of his adventures, it Is known as
widely as the Thousand and One Nights
but like Constantinople the capital of the
empire in which Bagdad stands. 1t gltta
from the distance the nearer view dspail-
ing many a cherished IDEAL Still, even
amid the strange hygiene, quaint etiquette
and odd ways of the place, the resident
comes across scenes and incidents so odd
as to make one believe it Is yet the days OF
Haroun-that the sun of history has gone
back many degrees on the dial. Some
things cannot be compared with our insti-
tutions and others can-the management Of
the mail is one of the latter.
There are two ways of sending this in
Bagdad-one the Turkish, the other the
British. Practically all letters going west
go by way of the Turkish system. By this
there are two routes, one by camels to
Damascus and thence to Beirut, whence It
Is transported by steamer to Brindisi and
afterward by rail; the other by camels to
Mosul and then by mules and rail to Con-
stantinople. Letters from Constantinople
take some twelve days; not long ago the
time suddenly jumped to forty-six days
and when the post office officials were asked
to explain, they said: NOW the mail comes
partly by rail. Hence the delayr This is
a sweetly oriental idea-a railroad to take
thirty four days longer than camels
When your letters come depends upon
when the mail arrives, and may be any
time of the day. Perhaps one of the most
comical parts of the service is the fact that
the carrier cannot read. At the office he is
told what houses are to have letters. Then
he sings his bag over his shoulder and
trots off, hopping from side to side of the
concavity that is gutter and street. and
thus wends his tortuous way through the
city till he arrives at house for which he
has mail. Upon entering he musings his
bag, opens it and pours the contents on the
floor. at the same time telling you to pick
out such letters as belong to you! There
