Real Moroccans,

Moor and Morocco are words un-
known to the people of that troubled
land. These people know themselves
as Arabs and descendants of those
valiant upholders of the prophets
green standard who swept likN a food
across North Africa at the time OF
the hegira. The Morocco of the pres
ept day they found possessed by a
sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out OF Ca
naaan by Joshua, the son Of Nun.
Their country, so far as its plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
cause in the conquest of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak
ing their own language, maintaining
their own customs and racial attri-
butes, and obstinately refusing to be
absorbed by the Arab dwellers on the
plains. These people are the Berbers;
their tongue is called Shilhah. Liter
ature they have none, in the ordinary
sense of the word. But they have a
rich store Of oral tradition, myth, le-
gend and folklore.

Inviqorate the Digestion.

To invigorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing so good IS that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
that is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken every
night will afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and being purely vegetable are
adapted to every system.

is being done, not only in puppies and
kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs,
but also in tigers and leopards. Up to
a certain age, these small felines are
quite harmless, and, of course, as soon
as they begin, so to speak, to show

they are sent off to one Of the two
