A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.
The ForeefuIness of Native Customs
In Morocco.

The Foreefulness of Native Customs
In Morocco.
In Morocco, the Baled-el-Maghrab
(the land of the setting sun of the
Arabs) the Lex Talionis is as much an
integral part of the social system as are
life and death. The Moors, it may be
said, are frankly brutal They have a
certain rude code of honor to which
they adhere when convenient but
| among themselves they devise every
possible excuse for not fulfilling en-
gagements with the giaour.
On the other hand. they are extreme
~ punctilious in exacting full measure
from Europeans with whom they have
dealings, and many stories might be
told showing how Moorish judges mete
out justice to their own people to the
detriment of the alien.
For instance, it is not very long
since that a British subject riding
through the Soko Tor market place. at
Marakesh had the i'll fortune to push
against half blind old woman, who.
falling to the ground, broke off two of
her front teeth
The Englishman promptly offered
compensation. 1t was refused and the
injured woman before the local caid
demanded that her innocent aggressor
should have two teeth knocked out in
retribution for her injury.
Protest followed on protest against
this exaction until finally the matter
was carried to the sultan himself.
That potentate (and this instance is
given to show the forcefulness of ma
tive custom) begged the Englishman
to comply with the old woman's de-
mand and publicly sacrifice his Incl
sors, in return for which oblation he
granted him concessions which have
made that English merchant and his
family foremost among the wealthy
foreigners in Morocco.-London Spec

In second Julia was swimming to
ward the bag, and laughingly she
grabbed it. BY this time several sail
Ors were overheard to her rescue, but
she refused all offers of assistance
She swan to the nearest large vessel
which was tea barge from Japan
that had anchored there to leave its
freight.
won't you 60 to my friend?" she
said as they offered her assistance
"She is really very much frightened
Please row her over here, and then we
can go home
Julia climbed up the gangway in her
| dripping raiment and sank into a chair
that the pilot offered her. The girl
was wreck in more ways than one.
"I'll be all right in a minute" she
said to the pilot-"just as soon as /
can get my breath. You see, my friend
lost her bag overheard, and well,
just fell reaching for it, Awfully stu

lot. What will women doinext? Ha,

say, Conroy, come along here and see
what we rescued while l help the rest
Of the party aboard"
Julia did not laugh, but sat up very
straight when the name Of COnrOy was
mentioned. How Silly she thought!
Conroy is a simple enough name, and
she leaned back again in the easy
steamer chair. But not for very long.
A tall, pale and sicklyN looking face
appeared at the door, peering around
In search of the rescued party His
glance finally fell upon Julia and met
hers, and the college girl who had won
medals for her bravery and muscle
was just woman enough to faint as
she gasped his name.
In a moment or two he was at her
side, imploring her to look at him,
while Mrs. Mills and the pilot seemed
suddenly struck blind and walked
around the deck 49,
Julia, my julia Darling, look at
me once more that may know it is
you! Water, you lazy dumbheadr' he
called to passing sailor. Cant you
see the lady has fainted?"
The water seemed to revive her, and
she leaned back into his arms as she
had done in the chair before.
Erred, it is Julia, or, rather, what is
left of her. Let me rest in your arms
minute, dear. just to make sure it's
you. Fred, dear, why are you so
pale?'
"Just a bit of yellow fever, dear, but
1t put me in bed for a few weeks and
gave me time enough to yearn for you
and to know that could never be hap
by. without you, so shipped with this
old tea vessel, and here / am. Will
you give yourself to me now, DEAR"
"I cannot give you what is already
yours, Fred, only hope for your sake
that I'll make better wife than did

He MADE ONE MISTAKE.
Quaint Persian Tale Of the Tanning Of
the Shrew

Quaint Persian Tale Of the Tanning OF
the ShreW.
In Persia a wealthy man will often
have friend of whose society he is
fond living in the house with him. Alb
dullah was such a friend to Ally Khan,
q very wealthy and influential mer-
chant of Ispahan, who was delighted
with his charm ana cleverness and so
pleased with his services that he
thought he would make a very good
son-in-law and suggested him as such
to his beautiful daughter. She was
very 0verbearing and bad tempered;
rood locking. she agreed to it, They
we're married Soon his friends came
- cos!:rS:;i tulate him, among them
Housseyn. who was known to have q
very overbearing and bad tempered
wife. lie said, II congratulate you on
your marriage" and then he asked the
brio egroom. Are you really. happy
wii.l ii woman who is known to have
such bad temper? II assure you
that she is perfectly charming, and
that am perfectly happy" MAY l
ask how you manage it?'
Certainly" answered Abdullah. ION
the night Of the marriage 1 went into
her apartments in full uniform with
my sword on. She did not take any
notice of me, but put on supercilious
air and made a parade of stroking her
cat I quietly picked up her cat and
cut off his head with my sword, took
the head in one hand, the body in the
other and threw them out of the win
dow. MY wife was amazed, but did
not show it. After few seconds she
broke into a smile and has been n
most submissive, and charming wife
ever since"
Housseyn went straight home and
put on, his uniform and went into the
harem. The domestic pet came to
greet him. He seized it with the hand
that was accustomed to caress it, drew
his sword and with single blow de-
capitated 1t. At the same moment he
received a blow in the face delivered
by his shrewish wife and before he
recovered from his astonishment Sec

you have been talking" the lady
hissed "but you are too late 1t was
on the first day that you ought to have
done this"

4 Fittino Question.

Jim, who is six and thinks he is d
man, got into a crowded car with his
nurse The nurse got the last seat,
and two ladies made little place be-
tween them for Jim and squeezed him
in. Presently portly lady got in. and
Jim, the pink of, courtesy, rose and
lifting his hat offered his place. 1t
was embarrassing. Afterward nurse
explained to Jim that he must be care
full in offering a seat, as place that
was large enough for boy might not
accommodate lady. Next time he
was in car and lady got in Jim
leaned over to nurse and in stage
whisper asked, "Lizzie, do you think
she'll fit?"-New York Press.

Motion and Heat.

All visible motion when arrested be-
comes heat, even that of running wa
FER. If we take two pieces Of solid ice
and rub them together, they can be
heated by the friction until the melting
point is reached. If we should pour
water into an ordinary rotary churn
and turn the crank, the mechanical
energy exerted against the water will
be transformed into molecular energy,
and the water will be warmed in pro-
portion to the amount of mechanical
energy expended.

She Gave ToIstci a Tip.

In his "reminiscences of Leo TolStoi
In his later years, says Transatlantic
Tales, Ivan Bulanovski relates the fol
lowing anecdote:
One day the count was standing. on
the platform of railway station OF
Tula when an express train came whiz-
zing up and stopped A young man
jumped out of a first class compart-
ment and hurried to the refreshment
room. A young lady followed him to
the platform, calling. George. George
but George did not hear.
Little grandfather she said, turn
ing to ToIstoi, who stood close by, do
me favor! Run after that man and
tell him that l want him. | will give
you tip"
Count Tolstoi did as requested and
received kopecks for his trouble.
Meanwhile the platform had gradually
filled with people, and the young lady
heard the passengers saying to each
other:
''Look, look. There is Tolstoi!'
"Where is Tolstoi?" she fastened to
inquire.
The great Russian writer was point
ed out to her, and with lightning speed
she rushed toward him and begged to
be forgiven.
Forgive me, count! l am so
ashamed Do forgive me, | beg of
you,'' and she shamefacedly asked for
the return of the 5 kOpecks.
"Oh, no." Tolstoi replied, with a
laugh, ''the 5 kopecks were honestly
earned

''I thought you never mentioned IBIS

" asked me never to refer to him in
your presence again-that he was "a
dead one,' think you said"
swell, he is dead-that is, as far as /
am concerned-and, oh, Dora, l some
times feel that maybe he really is dead,
and it's all my faultp'
With this last remark Julia gave a
couple of terrific pulls on the oars as if
to emphasize the meaning of 1T. and
crash they went into little sailboat
that lay at anchor.
'Even if he is dead there is no use
of our joining him in this watery
grave, Julia. Please look where you
are going or I'll get out"
did you think of walking ashore or
driving, Dora?"
''Well, 1 didn't want to come, Julia
Abbot, and you know it, and I'll just
thank you to row me ashore and leave
me to my darning.'
'tOh, Dora, I'm sorry you're cross,
and I'm sorry I said anything! Only
the thought of Fred way out there in
Japan nearly drives me crazy. I'll give
you lesson in rowing if you'll come
over here and take one oar"
After much persuasion and argu-
ment Dora began to collect her belong
ings and tuck up her skirts prepara-
tory to moving over on the seat with
Julia The harbor was full of boats,
and they had quite. an audience, but
Julia had made up her mind that Dora
should take a lesson, and she bullied
her into making the change. The boat
iiurched about as Dora came over. and
with a scream, she pointed to large
bundle that fell overheard

screamed, pointing frantically at the
bag that was still floating.
.Well, of all the sillies," exclaimed
Julia, ''to bring your darning with you
in a rowboat. Wait a minute, l can
reach it."

What would the farmer think of the

to be damaged by rain? What would
he think of Farm and Ranch if they
allowed it to rain in on their presses

it careless and shp-shod, yet he is
careless and slip-shod in allowing rain

the newness on his machines and make
them old before their time.

A Business that Paid.

We have heard farmers in Florida
say that hogs were the most profitable
crop they could raise, and that, too,
under the careless method Of keeping
razorbacks and allowing them free
range in the woods. We have no
doubt that they might be made still
more profitable with better care. Sue
cessful Farming tells how a farmer in
Iowa made great success with swine:
Seven years ago farmer moved in
to a certain Northern Iowa neighbour
hood from the southern part of the
State He moved because his creditors
annoyed him. We have his own word
for it. A large tract of half titled land
had been the cause of his getting into
debt. On the advice of an uncle, he
commenced the breeding of Duroc Jer-
sey hogs. During this time he has
hung persistently to the hog business
Three things have contributed largely
to his success. In the first place, he
bought two good sows and boar from
we'll known strain of Duroc Jerseys
In the second place he has selected
sires with good bone and strong vitality
and has been careful not to feed much
corn in the summer, but to provide his
hogs with an abundance of pasture and
clean fresh water. In the third place,
he has done judicious advertising and
has always made a strenuous effort to
please customer so that he will come
back and buy again. He has today a
200-acre farm free from debt, 80 head
of fine Duroc Jersey hogs all recorded
or eligible to registry. He has never
held sale Never sells any but the
best for stock hogs and turns the ones
with poor points into pork He has
other live stock necessary to a 2OO-acre
farm and does not have to work every
day, rain Or shine His debts are paid,
and he is a contented man. He las
stuck to his line of farming and has
been thinking while he worked.
