Here is tale from O'Donoyan's "Merv' Illustrating the bitterness of feeling between the various sects of the followers of Mohammed: O'Don. oyan had offered his Mohammedan at- tendant, who happened to be Shilte, some of his cold chicken, which the man took at first and chewed rumin- antly. Suddenly. however. he spat the modthful out exclaiming: Who cooked this?" since it is sin for Meslem to eat food cooked by an in- fdel oh. it's all right replied OBonovan, it was cooked by your coreligionists down there" pointing to city of Sunnites. What" exclaim- ed Shilte. furiously, by those internal Sunnites. l shouldn't have minded much if it had been cooked by you or any other giaour; but by Sunnite! Pan and he spat again in his dis gust But what is the difference be- tween Shilte and Sunnite? Aren't both good Moslems?" What is the difference between us, Don't you Know that when a Shilte washes his hands he lets the water drip from the wrist; but when those Sunnites wash their hands they let the water arp from the elbow?"

Parson MckeoWn's Psalm.

Old ParsOn McKeoWn of the Spring street (Bostonl church (long since de molshed and the parson gone the way of the earth) had parish clerk who persistently confined himself to giving out the one hundredth psalm, to be sung by the congregation; and the parson finally insisted upon a change being made which the clerk promised to do
 Notwithstanding his promise, how. ever, the clerk, from force of habit, gave out on the following Sunday the same words: All people that on earth do dwell" whereupon the parsons tenn per could hold out no longer, and, put. ting his head over the desk, he cried, "D-n all people that on earth dc dwell!'
 This was in so loud voice that sev. eral good deacons occupying front seats heard the words. and what few hairs they had remaining on their heads stood straight on end with hor- TOT. And that was the last opportuni- ty Parson McKeown had of eXpound- Ing the gospel from his pulpit.

Mrs. Craiqie's Address,

An amusing story of the late Mrs. Craigie, the noted novelist, was told the other day at the Authors club in New York
 When Mrs. Craigie was in America last year" said the editor. she was invited to make an address at cer- tain meeting. She accepted the invi- tation, but her name, through some oversight, was put far down on the programme, and worse than that, the chairman, a rather stupid person, in- troduced before her some speakers who were not on the programme at all.
 Tn short, it was close on to Il o'clock when the chairman with a pleasant smile, bowed and said: Mrs. Craigie, the eminent author of Some Emotions and Moral" will now give us her address,
 Mrs. Craigie rose and said, calmly:
 My address is No. 56 Lancaster Gate. Hyde Park, w. London, and now wish you all good night, for l am far from home"

Miles Finlen, tine rich Montana cop per miner, visited some relatives in Bay City, Mich, recently. He attend. ed services in an old wooden church, and while there a rainstorm came up. The roof leaked, and some water fell on Finlens neck. After the services had ended he asked one of the church officials: Why in blazes don't yoa give people a decent place to worship in?"

When physician tells woman, sui fering from female trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frightens her.
 The very thought of the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. As one woman expressed it, when told by her physician that she must undergo an operation, she felt that her death knell had sounded.
 Our hospitals are full of women who are there for just such operations.
 It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation Is the only resource, but such cases are much rarcr than is generally supposed, because great many women have been cured by Lydia F.. Pinkham' s Vegetable Compound after the doctors had said an operation must be per formed. In fact, up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help.
 The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations.
 Margrits Ryan, Treasurer of St. Andrews Society, Indianapolis. Ind. writes of her cure as follows:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

Farm IT ak.

The late Charles Bliss, the famous star of the Dan Rice circus-he was the original human tiy'-imputed his success to thoroughness.
 Don't attempt new trick, he said one day in Madison. till you are a thorough master of it. The only way to succeed is to be so thorough in everything you undertake that fail ure is altogether an impossibility.
 If you are going, for instance, to be a stump speaker, if you are going to address a lot of farmers, don't talk farm talk unless you have studied it up.
 Don't be like a stump speaker I know who yelled at a cross roads meeting:

New Jersey correspondent con tributes the following in regard to a recent happening in the court of To- cal magistrate:
 A justice in this city, upon com plaint, issued his warrant for an al legged violation of an ordinance of the city relative to the registering of dogs. The complaint and warrant were both bad. Upon the defendant being brought before him, the justice said: How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?s to which the defendant, who was allowed no time to obtain coun sel. replied: Not guilty. The jus tice then said: Il know a C. d. sight better I fine you five dollars and $2S0 costs" These words con stituted the entire hearing, and, need less to state, certiorari proceedings are now pending.

Gasoline and Alcohol.

The greater safety of alcohol, as compared with gasoline for conner cial uses, is due to the fact that 1t will not ignite from pure radiated heat, as gasoline does; that water will extinguish burning alcohol while 1t will only spread fire of gasoline, and that the flames of burning alcohol ra- diates very little heat while that of gasoline radiates heat very rapidly.

Paris was overspread with dry, yellowish fog the morning of April II of this year. A scientist, believing that the fog had been caused by the eruption of Mount Nesuvius, placed upon the roof of his dwelling a series of plates covered with glyceria to catch the dust in the fog. It was found that part of the deposit on the plates was a very fine sand. complete ly identical with the ash sent up by Vesuvius in 1922. In addition to this sand the fog contained some perfectly spherical globules of oXidized iron.
