FESTIVALS IN MOROCCO.
Oae NORTH when the Moor Fasts Ala
Day and Feasts All Night.

Day anu
traveller writes: In Morocco the
Nazarene can never tell how time
stands in relation TO the Moorish year
The Mohammedan calendar knows but
354 DAYS, So as the Moors lose some
eleven days In the year, their festivals
are constantly varying in date. The
most important, of course, is Rama
dan. when MoslemsN fast from the ris.
ing to the setting of the sun during the
month The Moor fasts all day and
feasts all night, and throughout the
small hours in certain Moorish cities
officials pass down the streets in sol
emn procession. armed with musical in
struments, and one at their head calls
upon the servants of God to eat and
drink before the advent Of the dawn.
On one night toward the end of Ra-
MADAM it is well known that the gates
Of heaven are opened in order that the
prayers of the faithful may be heard,
and II is equally certain that all the
devils and genii are kept in some prison
OF the underworld throughout the
month.
another feast of In portance Is the
Aid ell Kabeer. which takes place on the
tenth day of the last month of the Mo.
hammedan year. 1t celebrates the sac
rifice of Ishmael mot Isaac by Abra-
ham on Mount Moriah. Certain pray
ers are said in the mosques, and after
these the cadi standing in some prom.
ineut position. cuts the throat Of
sheep that is then carried in a basket
at headlong speed to the towns chief
mosque. If the sheep be alive when II
reaches the mosque. the ensuing year
will be prosperous one for the town
BY means of gun fire and trumpet call
all the city is Informed that the sacri.
fee has been killed. and then every
householder kills sheep on the thresh.
old of his own home. This sheep has
been bought on the previous day and
tied up In readiness for the feast.
"Still another festival of great I'm
portai,ce in Morocco is the Moolud
which takes place In the month thar is
called the spring of flowers II Is
ush.rcd In by singing and dancing and
muaic and seems to be founded on some
old forgotten native festival When
the Nooiud comes round blue mark
Is placed between the eyebrows OF
young children in order that the evil
eye may be averted from them. The
festival is also notorious by reason OF
the performance of the Aisawi the fol
lowers of Mohammed bin Aisa Of Me
quinez, the patron saint Of snake
ch3rmers.
"These Aisawi may be compared
with the dancing dervishes of other
Mohammedan countries. The Aisawi
are accustomed to repeat aloud SEN
tence that contains the master word OF
their order, and they howl it until the
sound is not comparable to anything
one has heard before. In moments of
extreme frenzy the devotees are known
to seize sheep or even dogs and tear
them to pieces with their hands, Some
may be seen devourng sheep before

Historic wheat.

Experts on the subject Of bread
grains say that wheat can be traced
back into the dim past across the line
marked by the advent Of historic man
into the dim shades of the stone age.
1t has been known in Egypt and in the
valleys Of the Euphrates and the Tigris
since the time when history ''runneth
not to the contrary" The prehistoric
races which formerly lived in the ia
nous flake dwellings," which were
built on platforms supported by piles
driven In the lakes Of Switzerland. had
their mealing stones, wheat mortars,
sickles and other grain harvesting and
f1our5naking apparatus at least 1000
years ago. Wheat found in ancient
Egyptian tombs and in the ruins of the
lake dwellings referred to is identical
with that which we use today.

GOVERNOR ELROD AT HENRY.

We copy the following extract
from the Public Opinion of Gov
Elrod's speech at Henry March 81:
when Mr. Crawford spoke at
Henry short time since be raked
the governors railroad assessment
record over the Goals to some extent.
He also criticised the govern ;
speech before the national nesting
of the railroad commissioners
Deadwood The governor replied
somewhat in detail to Mr.. Crawfords
criticism. He read his Deadwood
speech in its entirety. He then
took up the question of railroad
assessment. He admitted that there
have been, and still are inequalitie-
but he said progress has been made
in the right direction. He com.
pared his own record with that of
Mr.. Crawford when the latter was a
member of the state board of assess
ment and equalization. Mr.. Craw-
ford was for years member of that
board, and during that time sought
10 reduce the assessment of the Chi.
cago * Northwestern lines. The
governor pulled the official record
on Mr.. Crawford and read extracts
from that record. He showed, quo
ting from the record, that when
Crawford was a member Of the board
the WATERFOWL. Gettysburg line
assess ment had been reduced through
Mr.. Crawford's efforts; and upon
motion of Mr. Crawford. He
showed also that Mr. Crawford
endeayored to reduce the assessment
from the state liue to Pierre. Mr..
Crawford sought to get this stretch
reduced by several hundred dollars
per mile and did succeed in getting
slight reduction one year. The
stretch from the state line to Huron
was assessed at $4,000 per mile that
year. The year before twas assess
ed at 81, 200. Mr.. Crawford tried
to get it down to So $500. 1t is now
assessed at S5,979. Mr.. Crawford,
according to official record, tried to
get the Watertown- Gettysburg line
reduced from $1,000 per mile to
S2.l00 1t is now assessed at 81
$40 per mile.
AS to railroad assessment, while
inequalities still exist, the governor
said that he was willing that his own
record should be compared with Mr.
Crawford's record, official or other
wise.
The governor concluded with a
reference to the attitude of the state
delegation at Washington concern
ing rate legislation, declaring that
every man is in line with the presi-
dent, whom he ex oiled as being one
of the greatest of the presidents
since Lincoln"

AS the time draws near for the
appointment Of game warden we
want to call the attention OF our
readers to the fact that for the past
two years Day county has had one
Of the best officers Of this kind in
the state. He has devoted more
time and attention to his duty than
any warden this county hasever had.
He has collected more licenses from
non residents. He has had to pull
but few offenders for they have all
been aware OF the fact that j. r.
Chapman is a man who does his full
duty no matter where you put him
and that they would be taking des.

elude him. If the majority of the

will be his own successor. A better
man could not be secured for the

Attorney General Philo Hall says
he takes the pass and rides upon it
and collects from the people of the
state FIVE cents mile because the
law says 'the attorney general shall
receive five cents per mile railroad
fare for miles actually travelled in
the performance of his duties"
Philo is evidently afraid that if he
did not take the money that prose-
cution would be brought against him
for violating the law.
