tan of Turkey the supreme spiritual
head of Mohammedanism How many
of these pilgrims will live to return
from Mecca? Many die on the way
there, and die contented and happy,
for. according to their faith, even the
greatest criminal, if he dies during
the pilgrimage, goes at once to para
disc, where, on account of his pill
grimage, he is accorded extra privi-
leges. Two years ago the mortality
from disease was so great that last
year Russian subjects were prohibit
ed from making the pilgrimage.
Despite the extraordinary confusion
of nationalities, costumes and Ian
guages in Constantinople, one cannot
be mistaken in the identity of the pill
grims, for, with the exception of the
yellow men from Mongolia, who are
easily distinguishable, there is a
marked similarity in the cast of their
countenances and, with variations, a
uniformity in their attire also. More
over, they move about the streets in
groups. Friday, the Turkish Sunday,
is the best day to observe the pill
grims. Let us glance at party who
have just landed in Galata from a
Russian steamer. These men are
Tartars. They wear knee boots, long
tunics composed of sheepskins sewn
together, with the wool turned inward
and headdresses of the same material,
but with wool outward, and bound
round with soiled white cloths.
Shaggy, unkempt-looking creatures
they are and the dark tangled hair
and beard of one man so well match
the sheepskin on his head that one
cannot tell where the wool ends and
the hair begins. But it must not be
supposed that the pilgrims are poor.
1t is expressly laid down in the koran
that no man shall undertake the pill
grimage to Mecca unless he has suffi-
cient money to defray his expenses,
and this law is strictly adhered to-
Many have saved up money all their
lives to make the pilgrimage and none

send his man to fetch him up pitch

any of the wine he would make him
fill his mouth with water before he
left the room. Then on his return the
man would have to prove that the wa
ter still remained in his mouth, and
thus the miser would be convinced
that none of the wine had been stolen.
"This scheme seems ingenious, and
yet the servant with the greatest ease
overreached his master. He kept
pitcher of water hidden in the cellar,
and, emptying his mouth on his de-
scent, he would drink all the wine he
desired, and on his return upstairs
would still have full mouth to show

Why?
Why leave for the evening shadows
The duties of early day?
Why grudge until bleak December
The kindness we owe in May?
'Tis time for the bud and blossom
When skies are serene and blue;
Who soweth in chilly autumn
Reaps harvest of bitter rue.
Thy frown or thy harsh unkindness,
AS bitter as draught of gall
May sing thee as scourge of nettles
Ere lowers nights sable pail:
Beware lest thy tardy kisses
Fall mady on lips of clay.
Or heart thou this morn couldst COM

Be pulseless ere close of day.
Be kind while Life's morn still fingers
Thy love and thy helpful hands
Shall be as the founts of water
To wanderer DER desert sands;
A word from the heart in kindness.
May pierce the gray mists of pain.
And arch DER the hills eternal
The rainbow of hope again.
