The BismiIlah Ceremony.

A little Moslem when she is four
years four months old goes through
the "Nameof f-God," or Bismillah, cere-
mony-which begins her real life. She
is dressed in cloth-of-gold, with a veil
and wreath of flowers; and friends are
invited to salute the little queen. She
sits on a gold cushion, which must be
borrowed il she hasn't one, and all
the rest sit on the floor. Then an old
mullah recites very slowly certain
verse from the Koran, which is also
written in saffron on silver plate
Bibi holds in her hand She runs her
fingers over the words, and stammers
them after him. Say it not, Bibi; be
a good girl, then you shall see your
presents" Soon they all cry, "Sha-
bash! Shabash. Wah! Wah!" and the
ceremony Of the little girls first les
son in reading, writing and religion is
over. She salaams mamma, then

WHY HE QUIT PLAYING POKER.
Lesson Which an Old Gambler Taught
Novice at the Game,

Novice at the Game.
An old man sat at fate breakfast
in a hotel cafe last Saturday, when a
young man with haggard face and
downcast eyes took place near him.
Tom" said the newcomer to the
attendant, Il must go light, for play
ed in hard luck last night"
The old man mad finished and sat
studying the others face as he ate.
Shortly he took a roll of bills from
his pocket and laid it in front of him.
Its yours" he said.
Mechanically and with trembling
hand the young man took the money.
You were in the game?" he said.
'Yes, and that is your money, about
$500. Quit playing poker. l began it

er and have made living out of

For this he was grateful. and he
was framing his thankfulness when
large, buoyant man of aggressive
healthfulness approached. The sea
had no terrors for him. He trod the
deck like one born to command not
afraid of storm either on land or else
where. He had one of those large
framed and hopeful personalities
which belong to the successful
American character, and he looked as
severely intrenching upon his fortune.
He bowed in a familiar yet business
like manner and said something to
the young lady. She excused herself
and made toward the cabin door. The
foreigner and the American stood in
talk for few moments and then part

looked at his watch to see II the
ships clock was attending strictly to
its duty, and bade a CHEEKY good
night to every one, and then quiet
settled for moment upon the room.
There was the swish of the waves
without. and there was the toll of the
boat, but all else seemed strangely
silenced as if little storm had pass

settled down. But it did not last for
long.
'Martindale is regular old brick"
suddenly exclaimed a man whose
voice filled the entire apartment. He
