OUR INAUGURAL OATH.
II Is the Shortest and Simplest TAX
en- by Any Ruler.

en- by Any Ruler.
The oath of office taken by the in
coming president of the United States
is the shortest and the simplest re-
quired of any ruler on earth. It is pre-
scribed by the constitution and is as
follows:
81 do solemnly swear Tor affirm that
| will faithfully execute the office Of
president Of the United States, and, to
the best of my ability, protect, preserve
and defend the constitution of the Unit
ed States"
This oath is slowly repeated by the
president elect after the chief justice
of the supreme court, in the presence of
the public upon a platform erected in
front of the main door on the eastern
side of the capitol. While the oath is
being repeated the president elect and
the chief justice face each other and
hold with their right hands between
them a Bible furnished by some person
interested or especially procured for
the occasion, which becomes the prop
erty of the president after it has been
appropriately inscribed and sealed by
the chief clerk of the supreme court.
At the close of the oath tn president
elect bows his head and kiss IS the open
page of the book, and it has been Gus
tomary for him or for his wife or q
friend to select some appro lrlate pas
sage at which the book shall be opened
and the verse upon which he shall press
his lips. Sometimes, when those inter
ested forget or neglect to choose pas
sage, the Bible is opened at random,
but the clerk of the supreme court is
always careful to note and mark the
exact place where the lips touched the
page.-Chicago Record Herald.

CUSTOMS IN MOROCCO.

"From time to time we are taking

traveller to Morocco. II see the shep-
herd boys staring at us from a respect
full distance. TO them we must seem
no better than savages. In the first
place we sit on chairs and not on the

BOATING ON THE NILE.
The Best Pilots Run Aground Two or
Three Times n Day.

Navigation on the Nile is not so COM
Atlantic, writes Alonzo Clarke Robin
son in Outing To run at full speed
upon sand bar is an occurrence of
such frequency as hardly to elicit
comment from the passen gers. The
crew take more interest because they
are obliged to push the boat off again
with poles, and this entails great
amount of shouting and some work.
The Nile below the first ca laract IS n
fairly broad, muddy river, lowing be-.
tween deposed banks varying from
six to eight to twenty to tn rty feet in
height Its surface Is inte rupted ev-
erywhere by sand splts and islands
upon which are to be seen thousands
Of birds. The channel, If such 1t can
be called, winds from one side to the
other and changes completely with ev
cry flood; hence even the best pilots
run aground two or three times q day.
1t is, of course, impossible to proceed
at night, and each days voyage comes
to an end wherever darkness happens
to overtake one. The boats nose is
simply run plump on the bank, two
men leap out and drive stakes to which
to make fast, and there you are for the
night. A very simple and effective
method, without any ostentatlon and
requiring very little knowledge of
mathematics; 1t has also the advantage
Of variety. Sometimes one finds one
self alone beneath the wonderful
Egyptian moon lighting up the river,
the distant cliffs and the silent, empty
plain, or perhaps one stops near some
little native village, in which case the
bank is lined with silent, curious fig
ures, who crouch for hours wrapped in
their white cloth coverings. Once we
tied up beside lonely brick kiln. The
| sight was a weird one. The red flare
OF the furnace, fed with sugar cane,
cast intermittent flashes of light into
the night, in and out of which moved
black half naked natives, while over
head was the cloudless, star lit sky of
Egypt.

rewards to different housewives for
bringing him puddngs \ typical In

Here is an explanation of the old
horseshoe superstition: st. Dunstan
was a skilled farrier. One day while
at work in his forge the devil entered
in disguise and requested Dunstan to
shoe his "single hoof." The saint, al
though he recognized his (malign Gus
toner, acceded, but caused him so
much pain during the operation that
Satan begged him to desist. This St.
Dunstan did, but only after he had
made the evil one promise that neither
he nor any Of the lesser evil spirits, his
servants, would ever molest the in
mates of house where the horseshoe
was displayed.

A seryile House of Lords.

When King Henry Wills name was
spoken in his presence in the house of

with Asiatic servility. An entry in the

chancellor on Jan. 16, 1541, in which
the kings goodness and wisdom are
extolled, and it tells us that whenever
his majesty was mentioned, (which
