Nearly every mosque has a well or a fountain connect ed with it, and a common sight is to see a long bearded man sitting over basin and splashing or primping preparatory to praying.

 Two Mohammedan Sultans.
 There is radical difference between the Mohammedans here and those of oth- CT parts of the world. The fifty million Mohammedans of India bow down to the Sultan of Turkey, and our Moors do the same. The Arabians, the Egyptians and the Turks all acknowledge allegiance to him, and this is so of a large part of the other Mohammedans in Africa. The Mo hammedans of Morocco think that their sultan is far superior to any other, and

In the Market of Tanqier.

If one would see all classes of these Moorish people he can do in the big market on the edge of this city. Not far from the American legation there is a space covering ten or more acres, which on two three days of each week
 is filled with people buying and selling.
 There are hooded men in from the coun- try, moving about on bare legs. There are dignitled Moorish merchants. in tur- bans and gowns. There are peasant wo- men with great hats and yelled Moham- medan ladies, all mixed together in one of the queerest crowds to be seen any, where in the world. You must add Jew .sh men In caps and long coats. bare faced Jewish women. their heads bound up in bright colored handkerchiefs, and swaggering AIoorish soldiers on foot and on horseback. great ungainly camel moves along here and there, while count less donkeys carrying loads as big as themselves push their way through the people. There are peddlers of all sorts
 from those selling water from goatskin bags on their shoulders to those with sweet cakes and candles. There are wo- men loaded with fagots and men toting charcoal. There are bread peddlers and vegetable peddlers and other odd looking men and women peddling almost every

 IN He lived a good Centuries
 ago and knew only the A BIC of Crooked Work. Still he managed to make himself very popular.
 Robin Hoods idea of being a Good Fellow was to take it away from the Rich and slip it to the Poor. although we have no report from the Auditing Committee that the Poor always came in fer their 50 per cent.
 Robin Hood, like most of the sue cessful Hold-up Men of history, was born far away from the Wicked lnflu- ences of the City. It is a remarkable fact that nearly all of the spectacular Strong-Arm operations in the history of the English speaking People were put through by rugged, self-made men, who were born out on the Farm and brought up on the Cateehism.
 Robin Hood has been featured in song and story for nearly one thou sand years. Why so? Because he got away with the Goods.
 He made a great Rep for himself because he happened to live at time

Face to Face With the Moors.

I almost despair of bringing you face to face with these Moors. They are un- like any Africans we have in America. They are tall, straight. big-boned and broad-shouldered, and they walk with a grace and dignity not found In our land. They wear long white gowns with hoods ut tho back. These hoods are often pulled up over their turbans, and make them look taller The men are all beard ed and the razor touches only the hair of their heads. Nearly every other man Is faced, and most of the dark skinned Moors have features like ours. Their noses are large and straight, their foreheads high and their eyes as fierce as those of Othello. They walk with a strut, swinging their arms. and they fre- quently go along hand in hand. The men are great friends and enjoy each others s society. They are very polite, and even the poorer classes and the Berbers in from the country are free from the rough ness of such classes otherwheres.
 They are great takers. I see crowds of them gossipping on the street corners. and toward evening the streets are full of these white-gowned, bearded men, sit ting down on the stones chatting togeth- CT. At night the coffee houses are full of men playing donlinoes or cards, and of groups listening to story tellers or to the musicians.

they say that he is the only one that has the blood of the prophet in him. They will not allow the Turkish sultan to have representative here, and they recognize him neither religiously nor politically. They revere their own monarch only be- cause he comes of the family of Mo hammed, and for that reason he can give them a blessing. If this were not so he would be dethroned tomorrow, and, as 1t is, they dislike him because he is favor ing the Europeans and modern improve ments. This feeling is even stronger in the wild tribes of the mountains than among the people of the city. The Ber- bers, as well as the Moors want to get rid of the Christians, and they would be glad to have them busted at once and forever

In the Mohammedan Schools.

This country was once among the most advanced of the world along educational lines. Centuries ago it's universities were noted all over Europe. Today there is none more backward. The children study, but they devote their days to committing texts from the Koran. The little ones sit on the floor cross-legged In their gowns with their bare feet under them and sway back and forth and they sing out the holy words of the adohammedan Bible. The teacher Is Moor in a turban and gown. He also sits cross-legged. He has a long stick in his hand, and the boy who refuses to shout gets cut This l saw in a school opposite the hotel today.
 These little AraDs learn to write the K oran in Arabic They use wooden slates of about the size of a washDoard. The slate is first dusted with a white powder, and the characters are painted upon it with brushes in an ink which can be washed away. The main study in the University of Fez is the Koran, and ad- vanced students devote themselves to Ko- ranic law.

STEEL cRossTIEs TRIED
Pennsylvania Railroad Testing Sub.
stitute for Wood.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.-The adop-
ton of a steel crossties filled with a
mixture of asphalt and rock is the new
est effort to fill the place of the old
fashioned wooden sleeper that has been
in use so many years. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad has decided to install
5000 of these new ties just east OF
Lockport, on the Pittsburg division of
the main line.
1t is becoming harder each year to
get good wooden ties, with the result
that the railroads of the country are
casting about to find substitute. Steel
ties of two kinds are now being sub
jected to experiment by the Penn
sylvania.
The newest tie is steel casting with
an asphalt and rock filing The steel
facing extends only around three sides
of the tie, the asphalt being exposed on
the under side, which rests on the
stone ballast The size and shape are
the same as those of a wooden tie
though the weight is about 700 pounds
or thrre times as great as that of a
wooden sleeper This great weight
with the asphalt surface resting on the
ballast, is calculated to reduce creep
ing" to a minimum.
