Early Greeks and Romans rode
horses bareback. They regarded 1t as
effeminate to ride in saddle. The
modern saddle, with pommel, crupper
and stirrups. was unknown to the I'M
clients. Nero gave out fancy coverings
to his cavalry. and the bareback riders
Of the German forests used to laugh at
them. Saddles with trees came into
use In the fourth century, stirrups
three centuries later.

What the Mohnmmedans Believe.
The Mohammedans believe In one
God and in an Infinite number of
prophets. They have altogether more
than 100000 prophets. and the great
est of them all are Adam. Noah, Abra-
ham. Jesus and Mohamned. 1t rather
surprised me to know that they be-
lieved in Jesus, but am told that
they consider Him one of the best of
their prophets, although the greatest
of all is Mohammed, who is to be
$50 the last. They believe in a future
state, and that Christ will unite with
Mohammed, on the day of judgment,
in sending mankind to heaven or hell

Omar stands on the site of Solomon's
Temple. Mohammedanisnl as. q re-
liglon is increasing rather than de-
creasing, and whole tribes are now
converted at one time in this African
continent.
There is no doubt but that the Mo-
ha mmedans believe in their religion.
They teach charity and brotherly love.
They preach against avarice and the
lending of money al interest, and they
do not drink Intoxicating drinks. Their
faith is quite as strong as ours, and
they practice 1t more religiously I

somewhat like these:

the prophet OF Allah. Come to prayer!
Gene to worship! Allah is great! There
Is no God but Allah!"
Another call is:
Prayer is better than sleep Come
to prayer! Come to prayer!''
AS these calls ring out, one sees the
Mohammedan men on their way to
the mosques Some of them carry
prayer rugs under their arms, and 9th
ers go without them. relying on the
mating or carpets which are usually
or. the mosque floors to protect their
clothing. They take off their shoes be-
fore they5enter the mosque. and gen
orally lay down in front of them as
they pray.
In every mosque there is a foun-
tain or washing place; and the Koran
requires that one wash himself before
he goes in to pray. He cleans his feet,
hands. face and other parts Of his
body, and he goes through the mo-
lions of doing SO, whether he has
water or not. It is often impossible
to get water in the Sahara, and at
such times the faithful use sand.
AS they. pray, the Mohammedans al
ways face Mecca. They have their
fixed motions of praying. They begin
by raising their hands to the lobes
