NEW PERIL FOR MANKIND.

With a smothered ejaculation the

the pretty girl sitting next to him

alighted the man freed his mind.

About me were the cerements of earth.

And sweets ambrosial lulled me far from

And there it seemed
A palace of rare art about me rose.
Nor could be seen
The forms and signs by which we NOR

But in those halls
Were fair ones of celestial form, and
bright
Their faces were
Who dwelt along those corridors of
pray'r.
Mine eyes, undimmed,
Beheld their stately robes, and statelier

For it was |
Whose need was sorest to have such

And, nearest me
A glorious one bore chalice for my brow.

MoSLEM MANNERS AT TABLE.
Religion and Good Behavior AFpro
priately Mixed.

The rules set down by old Moslem
precept as to how to behave religious
~ and appropriately at meals are in
teresting, though whether they are de-
voutly complied with in times of fes-
tival is doubtful. Here are some eX-
amples: Wash your hands and mouth
before eating. When eating never
put one leg upon the other, nor put
your elbows upon the table, as this
hinders a good digestion. Never be
a slave to your repast, and never
touch any meal if you are hungry. BE
ever content with what you find be-
fore you, and never give yourself
great pains in preparing choice dishes.
Be always, if possible, at the table in
company with friends, as the prophet
never partook of his meals alone. Al
ways begin and end your meals with
thanksgiving to Allah. Always eat
with your right hand, and swallow, be
fore and after food, a little salt 1t
shows good upbringing and is pleas
ing TO Allah ever to put into the
mouth only small morsels and never
to make any observations upon the
defective qualities of dishes. Never
cut bread with knife, but, as the
prophet did, break it, Never choose
the fruit offered, but take any au
hasard. Never wipe your fingers with
bread. Avoid blowing on a hot dish,
but wait until 1t gets cool. Eat dates,
apricots and other similar fruit one
by one, remembering that in eating
them thus the unity of Allah. Avoid
at the table drinking much water. Your
meal finished, use atteptively the
toothpick, gather up the crumbs, and
wash again your hands and mouth.
Lastly, render thanks to Allah.

Devotion.

IL this great world were mine, all mine
but you,
And you stood by so sadly,
How small I'd count it as loss
To be with you so gladly
Were all my days with pleasures teeming,
And you in Loneliness were grieving,
O, heart of mine, from all these pleas
ures seeming,
I'd flee, to be with thee, with thee.
And though it might be that thou did'st
not care,
Or even spurn the proffered love to
share,
Yet would sit apart in silence there,
And every thought would be for thee a
prayer.
o, heart of mine, could but wear the
thorn,
How sweet its sting would be
To know that with my bosom's agony,
Came peace and joy, dear heart, to thee.

WOMEN IN BANKING FIELD.
Feminine Financiers Promise Of the
Near Future.

When women began. few decades
ago, TO invade the professions OF law
and medicine, the new departure was
widely and anxiously debated, and
doubts were expressed in many high
quarters whether the body polite
could stand the shock of such innova-
tons upon established customs. But
the world has gone on revolving just
as it did before, and society now re-
fuses to admit that it has been under
mined by the woman doctor or the
woman lawyer In nearly every line
of business save finance women have
also been distinguishing themselves
for some years. But while thousands
of women are managing their private
fortunes with sound business Judg
ment and thousands of others success
fully engaging in commercial ven
lures, the number of professional
financiers of the feminine gender, the
Hetty Greens of the brokers office
and the banking concern, is still
small, and the woman who manages
other folks capital as a business is
so rare as to cause comment whenever
she makes a public appearance. But
women are not long to be kept out OF
finance. Here and there the newspa-
pers tell of woman bank president
or cashier who is Loyalty supported
and kept in office by the male trus-
tees because of her proved competen-
cy and fidelity.-Tacoma Ledger.

Senatorial situation Badly Muddled.

The election of United States
senator to succeed Russell A.
Alger and speculation as to the
winner in the race, has been the
all absorbing topic for several
months. 1t was expected that
the matter would be settled in
legislative caucus Wednesday
evening, but at the last minute
several tremendous sensations
have been sprung and the whole
deal is now sup in the air, "
The first sensation was when
it became known early in the
week that Tip Atwood had join.
ed forces with Arthur Hill and
would throw his influence to the
Saginaw man. The Hill sup
porters were jubilant and they
could see nothing but success
for their candidate. Then on
Wednesday noon came one of
the greatest sensations in the
political history of Michigan.
Governor Warner issued state
ment directly accusing Arthur
Hill and his supporters Of using
improper methods in the cam
paign, stating that he had re-
ceived the information from At
wood himself, and that he, At
wood, had emphatically said that
the methods employed to further
Hills candidacy were such that
he could not support him under
any circumstances. The gov.
ernor asked the legislators to
postpone the selection of a sena
tor until the charges could be in
vestigated Mr.. Hill came out
with a statement denying the
charges, and said that she
was ready to be investigated. =
AT the legislative caucus We'd
nesday evening, by the consent
of the four candidates, the mat
ter was postponed one week and
no votes were taken.
1t is difficult matter at this
time to foresee the outcome of
the matter. Certain it is, how
ever, that the legislature and the
people of the state of Michigan
generally approve of the gov
errors action and are "with him"
in the matter if the charges are
true. 1t is up to the governor
TO prove the imputations, and if
they are as stated Mr.. Hill should
not, and will not be the next i.
S. senator from Michigan. At the
present time it looks as though
Townsend and VIM. Alden Smith
were in the lead, although it is
hard to tell what the week will
bring forth. In any event it is
a bad middle and the end is not
yet.
