MOHAMMED'S BLOODY HAND
History of the Imprint on PNlar In
 the Church of st. Sophia.

In the course of our exploration in Constantinople We visited a building in an obscure and poor quarter of Stamboul inha bited solely by Moham. nedans.
 It is called the Mosque Kahrie. but it is or was a church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin The beauty of the mosque ceiling and walls not even cen turies Of neglect have been able to ob- literate
 When we returned to the great Church of St. Sophia. how mosque. and saw again the print of the bloody hand of Mohammed which is pointed out high up on the wall of that once Christian church. We understand it's significance better than We had at first sight.
 Mohammed II. after advancing his outposts gradually and stealthily had finally, as if in night, crossed the Bosporus from Asia and raised his forts on the European side of the stream. Just the day before, on a trip up the Bosporus, we had seen the ruins of those fortifcations.
 The rulers of the city had protested in vain against this encroachment. When the Moslems finally attacked the city the Christians fled in terror to St. Sophia. An ancient legend, firmly believed, promised that this sanctuary was absolutely safe.
 Mohammed proved the fallacy of their trust by breaking down the doors, murdering those who had sought safe ty there, men, women and children so many of them that finally, forcing his horse over the great pile of dead bodies, away up on the side of pillar he planted his bloody hand on the clear wall In token of his victory over the Christians. That gory hand still overshadows the fairest portion of southeastern Europe.-Rosary Maga- zine.

SEE THE OGnoY ONCE.
The Horse Race Incident Is by Long
 Odds the Ienst of It.

IL Is q matter of twenty odd miles from London to Ep>pU, ia whose vi cinity the historic race course lies. and samples of almost every curious thiHt there is in old England are to be seen along the various roalways. If there were but one road to EP.on, half of the procession that starts from Lon don on the morning of Derby daT would be left struggling in tue out skirts of the city long after the great race had been run. But there are many, though none too many, since each i> packed t. the point of discota- fort from early dawn until far into tue night
 The Derby is a thing for the foreign CT to see once and ever afterward to hold in grateful memory, because it is an experience that could never repeat itself to the satisfaction of the mere onIooker. Primarily it is, of course. a horse race. but the race. which oceu- pies such t1eetins breath of tine is by long odds the least of ir. Other wise it is an expression of Britishism such as may not be witnessed Upon any other occasion. It is the one day in the year, believe on which Eng fish society levels itself out upon the first principle of the brotherhood of man. Rich man, poor nan, began man, thief, doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief without distinction and with perfect camaralerie, come together with the evident if unconscious pur- pose of proving that to be merely Brit ish is all that any true Briton can req sonably desire.
 The foreigners ire the only specta- tors Everybody else is '.in the cast" as it were. and it is difficult to judge whether the king. with his nobles and their Devy of brilliantly attired ladies, or the coster in his donkey cart, with the misSus and the kids is the lead ing actor. Perhaps it would be bet ter to call it a variety show and to de eide that each in his turn" is star in his own particular performance Leslie's Weekly.

The Art of Glove Cutting.

The cutters of the great glove houses in Brussels and in France earn even higher wages than the cutters of the most fashionable tailors in London and New York. So difficult is this art of cutting gloves that most of the prin- cipal cutters are known to the trade by name and by fame, and the peculiar knives which they use in the business are so highly prized that they are handed down from generation to gen eration as herlOOmS.

BIG STRIKE AT cARL1N.
George McGonagle Uncovers Ledge
on His Property.

Another big strike is reported and
this time it is in the Carlin district.
George McGongal, a civil engineer in
business at Carlin, last week uncovered
a big ledge on his property near the
town that runs in the neighborhood
of 500 per ton on the surface. Mr..
McGongal has been prospecting in that
region and up to the time of his pres
ent strike had not uncovered anything
Of value.
The ledge appears to be of large ex-
tent. The ore, which is brown quartz,
is free milling and can be handled with
ease, as there is plenty of water for
milling purposes in the vicinity.
George McGonagle, civil engineer in
a force of men to work and endeavor
to catch the ledge at lower point. lie
is very much elated over his find and
thinks he has as good a proposition as
there is in the county.
There are many prospectors in the
Carlin district at the present time and
as it is blessed with an abundance of
water it is attracting much attention
from the mining community.-Sparks
