American Tourist Calls Attention to q
Railway Gang at Prayer. |

american Tourist Calls Attention to q
Railway Gang at Prayer
I have often remarked the fervor
of the Mohammedans, says Jerome
Hart in the Argonaut. Their strict
attention to their religious rites is
unique among denominations SO far
as my observation goes, for when
the hour of prayer comes, whether
they find themselves in public or
not they go. through Sheir devo-
tions. l admire man who has the
courage Of his convictions, religious
as well as political, and the unaf-
fected devotion of the Mohammed-
ans has always impressed me.
On the outskirts of Cairo one day
we saw q row Of workmen on the
railway lining up just as the muez-
zin's call to prayers rang out from
an adjacent mosque.
"Look," cried /. "There is an
other instance of Moslems' devotion
to their religious rites"
GLOW SOP" I was asked. "What
do you mean? What are they stand
ing in q row for?"
"To pray" I replied sententious-
ly. Don't you see they are facing
toward Mecca"
Now, they were all standing in a
row. AS / spoke, as if at given sig
nal, they all went down.
"See!" / cried. "They are pros
trating themselves. In moment
you will see them begin to bow to-
ward the sacred city and go through
all the elaborate forms Of Moham-
medan prayer. All, is it not interest
ing to see group Of ordinary work
men interrupt their toll in the mid
die Of the day and turn 70 their reli-
gion?"
We were all much impressed.
was particularly so.
But as we gazed on them, with re-
fex religious interest, the row Of
men arose. With unanimous grunt
they rose, bearing on their shoulders
q long steel beam, which they pro-
ceeded TO walk away with down the
railway track.
An awkward silence followed. I
imagined I heard faint snickering,
but ] affected not to observe it.
There are moments when it is just
as well not to be too observing.

An English magazine asked wo-

This reminds me of Lady I once

and being greatly alarmed one day
by meeting one on the street, she
was hurrying along to reach the
shelter of q friends house when she
was startled by the sudden appear
ance of a gentleman who came has
tily out of a doorway. Her start and
scream caused him to make such an
elaborate apology that. she was
moved to set him at ease and ex-
claimed, ooh, sir, I thought you

her wondering whether she had bet

FLAT AS A FOUNDER"
Gomething Of tho Lifo History OF en- In.
teresting and Curious Fish.

Gomething of tho Lilo History OF en- In.
terestins and Curious Fish.
The expression CAS- flat as a foun-
der" has become proverbial, but it
does not apply to very young iioun-
ders, which differ SO much from the
adult ones that they can hardly be
recognized as belonging to the same
family as their parents.
The founders begin life as DO or
dinary fishes. When they first
emerge from the egg they swim YER
tically, with the head turned up
ward. Their bodies are symmetrical,
and their eyes are on opposite sides
of the head. Gradually the position
of the body changes from vertical to
horizontal, and the fish remain thus
for some time, swimming like ordi-
nary fishes. But while still very
small there is foreshadowing of tho
bottom life they are destined for,
and they enter upon series of re-
markable changes. The most strik-
ing OF these changes is in the posi-
ton Of the eye. The eye of one side
or the other slowly but steadily
moves over to the opposite side Of
the head and takes place beside the
other eye. In some founders the
eye moves around the front of the
head; in others it moves directly
through the head. This shifting Of
the eyes position is accompanied by
Q change in the position of the body,
which ceases to be upright and be-
comes more and more oblique. The
side of the body from which the eye
is moving gradually becomes infe-
Tior to the other until by the time
the change Of the eye is complete
the fish swims with it's blind side
underneath, and this position is
ever sfter maintained. The founder
then ceases its free swimming habit
and sinks to the bottom.
Some species Of founders are
right sided, and others are left
sided. In the right sided forms the
left eye moves to the right side and
the left side becomes undermost. In
the left sided species the opposite
conditions prevail. It rarely hap
pens that right sided species have
left sided individuals, and vice YER
ea. In few species both right sided
and left sided fish occur in about
equal numbers.-St. Nicholas.

Borrower Who waa Punosiiiouo.

In a certain small town Polonius'
advice, neither borrower nor a
lender be-" is more honored in the
breach than in the observance, ac-
cording to story told by Balti-
more woman who was formerly e
resident Of that village.
The worst offender, she says, was a
certain village celebrity known as
Aunt Sally, but though auntie ap-
parently sat up nights thinking up
something that she could "ask the
loan Of" she was extremely punctil-
ious in returning the full value of
whatever she borrowed. 1t happen
ed to be nutmeg that she took a
fancy to on one occasion, 9a1aid in due
time one of Aunt Sally's young
nieces was sent to return the equiva-
lent Of the borrowed dainty. "Here,
Mis- Blank" the child said to the
housewife who had made the Loan,
"Aunt Sally sent you a nutmeg to
pay for the one you Lent her. She's
bit piece outen this one cause

His Eoars Realized.

A Georgia statesman says that
while he was in the shop of an op-
tician in Atlanta he once overheard
an amusing conversation between
the proprietor of the establishment
and an aged darky who was just
leaving the place with pair Of new
spectacles.
AS the old chap neared the door
his eye lighted upon a most ex-
traordinary looking instrument con-
spicuously placed upon q counter.
The venerable negro paused for sew
eral moments to gaze in OPP /
mouthed wonder at this thing, the
like of which he had never seen be-
fore. After long struggle with his
curiosity he was vanquished. Turn
ing to the optician, he asked:
~Wha& is it, boss?"
"That is an ophthalmometer," re-
piled the optician in his gravest
manner.
@Sho," muttered the old man to
himself as he backed out of the door,
his eyes still fastened upon the Gu
rio,ls looking thing on the counter

Tho. Pnopor Amouns OF sIoap,

A proper amount of sleep is Of
course absolutely essential to con-
tinued good health, but if dietetic
habits are correct it is q matter
which will regulate itself. If rule
is needed, one will follow naturally
from the fact that almost every one
feels languid on waking AID is dis
posed to take another nap, no mat
ter how long he has been sleeping.
This is morbid sensation which 1t
would take too long to explain here.
1t is enough to say that lack Of sleep
should be made up, if possible, at
the beginning and not at the end.
The best general rule is to rise at @
given hour every morning, whether
tired or net, and SO to bed when
sleepy.-Century.

Hopeless. .

The newly married man looked at
the old bachelor and there was a
sadness in his eyes.
George" he said, "you are living
q wasted life. You are all wrong,
old fellow. But it isn't too late; !;
some woman may yet be found who
will love you and be willing to take
your name. BY Jove, old boy, come
home with me tonight and I'll in
troduce you to the sweetest young
woman you ever met. She's my
wife's sister, the dearest and gen
tlest girl. Why, they still call her
by the pet name of her babyhood,
Lamb"
The old bachelor moistened his
lips and his eyes frightened.
II like lamb" he said, "more espe-
cia1ly with mint sauce"
And then the newly married man
knew it was useless to waste any
further words on the confirmed old
celibate.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

HIBERNATING ANIMALS.
Fasting That Is More or Less PROLONGED
and Severe,

A large number of species of an
annals undergo more or less prolong-
led and continuous fasts during the
period of their winter or summer
sleep During such slumbers the
more uctiye functions of the body
are to a great extent suspended,
while those that are carried on act
slowly and entail comparatively lit
tie waste Of tissue and energy.
Moreover, before the period Of the
winter torpor or Information takes
place many animals, such as bears,
accumulate large stores of fat on
various parts Of the body, which suf-
fee to supply all the waste entailed
by the respiratory function during
the period in question. Fat is also
accumulated by the mouse lemurs
OF Madagascar previous to the su,A-
mer sleep, or aestivation, and is Used
up in similar manner, their sum-
her sleeps being undertaken for the
purpose of avoiding the season of
great heat and drought, when food
is difficult or impossible to procure.
Other species, on the contrary,
like squirrels, dornice and ham
sters, lay up supplies of food in
their winter quarters, on which they
feed during waking intervals in the
torpor, 80 that the fast is by no
means SO prolonged or SO continu-
GUS as in the case Of the first group.
There are, however, yet other ami
mails, such as bats among mammals,
frogs and toads among amphibians,
and the west African lung fish
among fishes, which apparently nei-
ther put on fat nor lay up a store
of food during their period of tor
por, which in the case of all Of
them is unusually prolonged.
Bats, for instance, generally re-
main torpid throughout the winter
months, while the African lung fisih:
passes the whole of the dry season
comfortably sealed up within nest
formed by the caked and dried mud
of the river bed. In all these latter
cases the fast must accordingly be
prolonged and of a severe type
