Character in Reading.

A man reveals his character by the
way he holds his newspaper. The
methodical, exact man folds his pa
per very evenly in a small square.
The man who makes an untidy fold
across the page, letting half of the
pages hang out and probably tearing
one or two sheets in the process is
careless and good natured, but posi-
bly, hot tempered.
He who clutches his paper as if in
mortal fear that some one is going to
take it from him is certainly bad
tempered.
The man who holds his paper close
to his face, appearing almost to hide
behind it, is watchful and prudent to
an extreme and apt to be suspicious.
Watch the way people fold their
hands. Those who fold the right
thumb over the left are stronger
willed than those who fold the left
over the right.

THE STORY.

G HARP indeed the contrast between
- the departure from and the return
to Jerusalem of King David.
But few days before he had gone
out of the royai city with great re-
joicing followed by 10000 of the
chosen men of Israel to bring up the
ark of the Lord and that evening as
the shadows were gathering he had
gloomily and silently returned, follow
ed only by his body guard and his
few attendants and without the ark.
That had been left at the place where
the awful judgment had fallen upon
U2zah; king and people with a super
stitious fear stunning it and refus-
ing to bring it further.
The representative men whom
David had summoned from the vari-
Gus tribes and who had come so glad
ly and in such high spirits had re-
turned home again disappointed and
troubled in heart. And they had
taken the word everywhere of the
failure of their mission, of how Uzzah
had been suddenly stricken before the
ark and the expedition abruptly ended.
Thus 1t was that as the king en-.
tered his house that night upon his
return to Jerusalem not only he but
the whole nation as well were trou-
bled by the strange and untoward
things which had come to pass. De
jectedly King David looked about him
as he sought the seclusion of his pri.
vate apartments. All the beauty of
the cedar palace which he had built
seemed to have passed away and in
place of the JOY and satisfaction he
had found in the new surroundings
I there was now only disappointment
and anxious forebodiEgs.
why is this thing come to pass?"
he asked himself dejectedly. Did
/ err in my desire to bring up the
ark? How beautiful is the situation
in this city and how fitting it seemed
that the ark of the Lord should rest
within the tabernacle which has been
reared upon the rocky eminence over.

Typical of this same Sultan Mulai
Hassan's attitude toward what is
called progress and improvement IN
the western world is an anecdote, the
vouch for. There were and still are
some dangerous rocks in the harbor
OF Rabat, and the owners of the coast
ing steamers engaged in the Morocco
trade were anxious, for obvious rea-
sons, to have them removed. Having
failed to interest the local governor in
the matter, the steamship men got to-
gether and sent an envoy to Fee, who
requested that the companies con-
cerned might be allowed to remove
these dangers to commerce at their
own expense.
sultan's Willy Answer.
Certainly not" was the sultan's
immediate answer, "the rocks were
put there by God for some good pur-
pose, let no man dare to remove
them"
What the sultan doubtless thought
was that foreign men-of-war could get
into the Atlantic ports of his empire
quite easily enough, and at all events
he did not wish to appear in the eyes
of his sullen people as facilitating the
exits and the entrances of the hated

lance. Churchill served here two
years and then was SO fortunate as
to secure a change of garrison to
place where there was not so much
thankless fighting, but the English
government, reluctant as ever to give
up corner of land that has once
been painted red, hung on TO the we'd
ding present of the luckless queen for
generation. On one occasion the
earl of Teviott, the British governor,
with most Of his officers and large
portion of the garrison, was surprised
by the vigilant Moors, and but few
escaped with their lives. After 20
years of constant warfare, harassed
day and night by tireless and trucu-
lent enemy, the keepers of John
Bulls treasury counted up the cost,
and shortly after the figures were
known Tangier was abandoned, and
so the second attempt of the conquest
of Morocco failed.
Spain Had Enough.
In 1859 the Spaniards, under O'Don-
nell, invaded Morocco, bent upon OBJ
tanning satisfaction for undoubted in
juries at the hands of lawless Moors,
and perhaps with thoughts of perma-
nent conquest If all went well. AS a
matter of fact. nothing went well.
From 10000 to 10000 men were en-
gagged for two years, with heavy casu-
alties, and even greater losses from
sickness. At the end of the second
campaign, the Sancho Panza In Cas-
lillian politics got the upper hand OF
the Don Quixote, proclaimed honor
satisfied, the terms offered by the
Moors all that could be desired, and
retired In blaze of false glory, out
of which O'Donnell secured a duke

the real results were none.
In 1893 the Moors attacked the

petition, but very wisely did not

Industry In Alabama.

Alabama is now producing as much
pig iron as Pennsylvania did a quar-
ter of a century ago. In 1887 the
south made trile more than 100000
tons. Last year it made 100000
tons. The south has about one-half
the known iron ores of the United
States. A great steel industry has
sprung up in Alabama within the
last ten years, and 1t is said to pro-
duce better steel rails than the
north, and at lower cost.

Christians. The policy of his little son,
Abdul-Aziz, has been much more lib

one of the contributing causes to the
present alarming situation. He recent

taken in Casablanca. Whereupon the
suspicious Kabyles Of the adjacent

or 15 Europeans, mostly Spaniards,
who were engaged upon the work.
In making concessions to the Euro
pean spirit of progress and enterprise,
for which his people are not ready, the
'unlucky and probably most incapable
young sultan has raised a storm which
may cost him his throne To-day if
he stands with his people, he is threat
ened with foreign expedition, while
If he stands by the treaty he runs even
greater and nearer danger at the hands
OF the various pretenders to the
throne, by whose activity the sultan's
life has been made very miserable
ever since, or almost ever since. BY a
harem conspiracy and the weakness
of his father the young prince was
called to the difficult post of ruling
the Moors.
Present Ruler Unpopular.
Abdul Aziz's accession to the throne
was most unpopular one, and this
TACT probably accounts for the fact
that early in his reign he surrounded
himself with foreigners who, with
some exceptions, were not generally
men of a high type-rope walkers,
photographers, balloonists, and sleight-
of-hand men We're the representatives
of western civilization who for a long
time appealed most powerfully to the
young sultan's appreciation of our cul-
ture. In view of the rising tide of dis.
content and the disaffection even of
the people of the capital, and the
growing strength of the various revo-
lutions in progress, in the last year
the sultan has dismissed his staff of
mosque as regularly as his father did
but probably the harm has been
done. In Morocco, as we'll as in other
countries, a reputation for orthodoxy
is hard to retrieve.
One brother of the unlucky sultan,
Mulai Haltd by name, of whose char
acter and leanings upon the questions
of the day little is known, has been
formally proclaimed sultan in the
great mosque at Morocco City. An
other brother Hassan, it is said, has
been exercising rights of sovereignty
in the Riff highlands, west of Tetanu
and on the Mediterranean coast for
two years past. In the Sus country an
other brother who bears the name of
Morocco's greatest sultan, Mulai Is
mail, is threatening rebellion with a
