In the Mohammedan heaven the
ground is OF the finest wheat ilour.

fragrant with perfume, and II is cooled
by sparkling fountains, Some of the
streams are pure water, running he

ers while others are of milk and honey
flowing over beds of musk. Among the
trees Is one whose boughs are laden
with every variety of fruit. and whose
shade II so great that horse might

The inhabitants of heaven are clothed
in raiment sparkling with Jewels. They
have sumptuous palaces and vpluptuous
couches. Every believer viii have hun
dreds of servants, who will bring him
thenlost delicious of foods and drinks
In dishes and goblsts of gold. and he
will eat as long as he wishes without

He will have the wives that he had up
on earth IN their full beauty when they
We're brides and he will also be allotted
72 black-eyed houris by whom he may

Mohammedans are fond of children, and
this is an important part of their hea-
venly dreams.
Another curious idea is as 10 the age OF

hammedans. They think that every
event which win take place was written
down by God at the beginning of the
world, ana that no man can change
his destiny. For this reason they arc
strong in war the soldier knowing that
he cannot be killed until his time
comes. and that it is already deter
mined whether he is TO die in his bed
or on the field OF battle. Besides. he
believes that If he dies lighting for the
faith he will go straight to heaven.
HEAVEN AND HE'LL.
The Koran is full of descriptions OF
heaven and he'll. According TO II Mo-
manned went TO heaven during Ills
lifetime, and when he came back he
gave the fun story OF his adventures
there and how things looked He was
called up by Gabriel. who brought h,r,
a white steed with human face and
a body Respondent with gems and
precious stones. 1t had wings and
when Mohammed mounted II, 1t scared
with him through the skies with the
rapdity of lightning. By and by the
gate Of the first heaven was reached.
This was of pure silver With sky in
which the stars were suspended by
chains of gold 1t contained mighty
rooster, so tall that his comb reached
TO the second heaven. This bird crows
every morning and all mankind is
awakened by him, the cocks below be-
ginning TO crow when he opens his
mouth.
Mohammed met Adam in the first
heaven Noah in the second and Moses
and Aaron in the fifth. Noah hailed
him as the greatest or the prophets and
Moses shed tears at the sight of him. In
the seventh heaven Mohammed was
received by Abraham and there he met
the Deity himself. AT this time many
of the doctrines of the Koran were Civ
en- to him. and among others require
ment that nifty prayers should be made
daily by all true believers
AS Mohammcd dropped down from
the seventh heaven he met Moses and
Moses asked him what the Lord had
required. The prophet replied that God
wanted mankind to make 80 prayers a
day. Moses told MOhammed that this
was impossible, ms he knew from his
own experience with the children OF
Israel, and that he had better return
and ask the Lord to reduce the num-
Der. Tho number was cut down to 40.
Moses sent him back again and again.
until IL was at last made only five.

THE MoHAMMEDAN SUNDAY
The Mohammedan Sabbath is on Fri
day at which time every good believer
attends mosque On that day the bazBrs
are nearly all closed. There Is q seq
mon by the inman or priest. and the
people go out during the day TO the
cemetery and pray at the graves.
The Mohammedans have their Lent.
which Is known as Ramadan, This has
taken place during my stay in North
Africa. 1t lasts for month, and for
that time strict fast is observed.
The Mohammedans then eat nothing at
all from daylight until 1t is 80 dark that
they cannot distinguish white thread
from a black one They viii not drink
nor smoke. and the most sanity oc

] had a dra CONAN at Constantine who
was Keeping Ramadan. Some of our
days were full of hard work and he
spoke again and again of how tired ana
hungry he was and how glad he would
be when the night came. At the end
of Ramadan is Bairam. or the time OF
rejoicing This is a great festive occa-
sion corresponding somewhat to our
Christmas or New Year. Parents then
give presents to their children and
friends make calls upon one another.
Every one comes out in new clothes.
and the whole Mohammedan world
gives itself up to holiday feasting.

MOha1nmedan priest as he stands on
the minaret of Il mosque, high over
the city, and calls the people 10 come
to prayers
The hours of prayer begin AT day
break The second call is at midday,
ana the third at about o'clock.
There Is "A fourth call ut sunset. and a
fifth along in the evening. The call
Ia in Arabic. and the words. trans
lated. are somewhat like these:
Allah Is great. testify that there
is no God but Allah. and Mohammed
Is the prophet Of Allah. Come TO
prayer! Come to worship! Allah IS
great There is no God but Allah!'
Another call Is:
Prayer is better than sleep! Come
to prayer, Come to prayeri"
As these calls ring out one secs the
MOhammedan men on their way to
the mosques. Some OF them carry
prayer rugs under their arms, and
others go without them. relying on the
mating or carpets which are usually
on the mosque doors to protect their
clothing They take off their shoes
before they enter the mosque. aud
generally lay down I'm front OF them
as they pray.
In every mosque there is a fountain
OF washing place; and the Koran re
quires that one wash himself before
he goes in 10 pray. He cleans his
feet, hands face and other parts Of
his body. and he goes through the
motions of doing so, whether he has
water or not II 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 of
the ears; they next hold them little
below the grdle and then bow their
heads over. After this they get down
on their knees. and bump their heads
on the floor, and then sit up and pray,
muttering the words laid down in the
Koran They have numerous prayers,
but one of the shortest and most com
mon which takes much the place OF
the Lords Prayer with us, is as fol-
lows:
I'm the name of God, mcrciful and
gracious. Praise be 10 Cod the Lord
of eatures. the merciful and gracious
the Prince Of the day Of Judgment. We
serve Thee, and we pray Thee for help!
Lead us In the right way of those to
