THE HOLY CARPET.
It is Annually Carried From Cairo to
Mecca.


Mecca.
New York Tribune.
4 few days ago Bedouins attempted
to rob the caravan escorting the holy
carpet from Cairo to Mecca. On this
occasion they were unable to- secure
the spoil which had tempted them, fol
they were beaten off and several
killed.
This is not the first time the cara
van transporting the holy carpet to
the holy city OF the Mcslems has been
attacked by the Bedouins. The car
pet is frequently accompanied by
thousands OF pilgrims from all parts
OF Africa. They carry with them
much treasure. This tempts the ma
rauding Arabs Of the desert to at
tack the caravan. The fact that the
Arabs are ze~,v:s I-ussulmans does
not deter them from falling upon
fellow religionistS performing one OF
the most sacred duties OF their faith
and conveying the covering OF the
most holy oDiec. connected with
their worship. The gods OF the pill
g-;!ls they consider 10 be their legit-
innate prey
The caravan carrying the sacred
carpet is the most important one
which traverses the pilgrims road
over the sandy wastes OF "the land
OF pilgrimage" Annually a similar
caravan makes the journey, for the
carpet covering the Kaaba at Mecca
must be replaced each year. The
kaaba is box-shaped stone building
standing in low part Of the holy city.
It is about 40 feet long, 80 feet wide
and 50 feet high. The building is
covered with a heavy black silk dam
ask. Around this cloth is band OF
cclored silk, into which have been
woven quotations from the Koran in
gold and green threads. The band
passes entirely around the queerly
shaped building about 80 feet from
the ground. This covering is the holy,
Or sacred carpet: Few Christians
have seen it in its place over the old |
stone house, for 70 Christians Mecca |
is. like Lhassa, the capital of Thibet, |
a forbidden city. Those who have
been able 10 enter it did so in dis
suise and al risk OF losing their
lives. Only MaI1ona1netans may enter
The sacred valley on the floor OF
which the little building Stands.

After an absence of five weeks, again at

vacation has been thoroughly delightful, but it
is good to be at home again. and I have seen
nothing to make sorry that my lot has been
cast ID North Carolina. In spite of all that has
been said about the West for young men, am
sure that enterprise and energy will accomplish
much here as anywhere else in the country.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
VIII.-At the Portland Exposition.
Editorial Correspondence

Our party is here at the Portland or Lewis and
Cark Exposition. I gave in The Progressive Far
mer a month ago a brief story of the Lewis and
Clarke exploring expedition which this Fair COM
memorates and it is not necessary to repeat 1T
now
The Lewis and Clark is pretty good fair, but
IS unfortunate in that it comes soon after that
at st. Louis last year-the biggest thing of the
kind that the world has seen, and any ordinary
fair must seem small compared with it. More
over, it does a Southerner good to know that the
city of Charleston with only about 10000 white
people, if I remember correctly, made as credita-
bic an exposition as Portland with about 100000
whites, has made. 1t is unfortunate that Char
lesion did not get more advertising and more
patronage. The South doesn't know how to boom
and blow as the West does.
First of ALL this Portland Fair has a very pref
ty setting. The Willamette River furnishes plenty
OF water for lakes canals, and islands. and in the

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK,

The basis of political economy is non-interfer-
ence. The only safe rule is found in the self-ad-
justing meter of demand and supply Do not
legislate. NEEDLE, and you snap the sinews with
your sumptuary laws. Give no bounties; make
equal laws; secure life and property-and you
need not give aims. Open the doors of oppor-
tunlty to talent and virtue, and they will do them
selves justice, and property will not be in bad
hands. In a free and just Commonwealth proper
ty rushes from the idle and imbecile to the in
dustrious, brave and persevering.-From Emer-
sons Essay on "Wealth"
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-07-11

Ions are much more skilful and aggressive. They
J. not confine themselves to the low grades of
labor as the Chinese do. In the skilled trades
and in mercantile businesses they are seeking
rositions. Great imitators, they seem able to do
e1nost anything they see the white man do just
&C # has long been known that they are likely to
make any kind of machinery, patented or un-
ratented. that is introduced into their country
And I am told again that they are unscrupulous
much shrewder and more unscrupulous than
+be heather Chinee; also much more aggressive
The Chinaman is easily managed, and once he
comes into the employ of family he is likely to
keen his place for years. But the Jap is ever on
the alert for something better; he is always ask
inc for higher wages, and he leaves the moment
more attractive position is discovered.
A Few Random Illustrations.
A San Francisco was also cursing the
Japs for insolence. GA Chinaman knows his
rlace" he told me. ''but Jap tries to treat you
rs his equal" The Japanese also know the ad-
vantages of cooperation, and work together bet
ter than almost any other class of people They
will not trade with a white man when it is posi-
BE to trade with one of their own nation. ''They
pul together so WE'LL" was one of the reasons
civcn me in Monterey for their having driven
out the white fishermen and monopolized the fish
inc trade there. They have no home life; the
wife does shoe-making like the husband, was
the complaint of a San Francisco .Jbbler. No
body questions their industry. "The white wood
chopper quits at sundown," was told the cars
at Pacific Grove, ''but these yellow fellows often
keep at it until after dark" In Oakland deck
hand said he ought not to complain, perhaps, as
he was foreigner. "But it's a mighty poor
government" he continued "that will let these
foreigners come over here and run out the men
who have made this country. These Mongolians
wouldn't fight for you if you had war, would
theyg
These little incidents throw some light on the
situation here Neither the Jananese nor Chinese
can vote so there is no fear of them politically,
but because they compete with the white man in
the industrial world. the feeling against them
seems to be growing more and more intense. So
far as my observation goes the Southern peoDle
are more magnanimous and cool-headed in hand
ling their race problem than the people of
the West or Northwest in dealing with theirs.

What the long reaches of the peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose!

GREEK SUPERSTITIONS.
Some Of the Old Astrological Belief,
Still Prevail.

Some of the Old Astrological Beliefs
Still Prevail.
"Some Of the superstitions of the old
Hydrologic religion still prevail among
the peasant classes in Greece" said a
native Of that country. Nor are the
educated classes without such beliefs,
such as that harm ensues from looking
at the moon over the right shoulder.
The belief in the three fates, the evil
eye, the vampires and the nereids is
general. Dressed in black and appear
ing as old women, the fates are sup
posed to come down from Olympus
three days after the birth Of child
and to hold a meeting to determine its
fate Consequently table containing
many dainties is set out for their in
visible enjoyment. Especial care Is
taken lest the old ladies be enraged at
not having enough good things to eat.
mo woman desires to be left alone
after her child Is born, believing that
the ugly old women may become jeal-
Gus and wreak some awful vengeance.
Smut is therefore smeared on the
faces Of the youngsters so that this
jealousy may not become excited.

His Definition OF the Most Perfect
Form Of Government.
''What is the most perfect form Of
government" was once propounded
at the court Of Perianuer, king Of Cor
nth, one Of the seven wise men Of
Greece. His six fellows were present,
and Of them Bias answered first, CIV
ing as his opinion, 'Where the laws
have no superior" Thales Of AIiletus,
the great astronomer, declared, "Where
the people are neither too rich nor too
poor"
In bis turn said Anacharsis, the
Scythian. "Where virtue Is honored
and vice detested." Said Pittacus OF
Mitylene, "Where dignities are always
conferred upon the virtuous and never
upon the base.' Said Cleobulus,
"Where the citizens fear blame more
than punishment" Said Chic, the
Spartan, "Where the laws are more re-
garded than the orators"
