STRANGE CUSTOMS
Continued from page 1

body is placed between two rows OF
large stones and covered with flat
stones above thus forming a space
in which the dead may move if asked
to do so after burial. 1t is believ-
ed by MOhammedans that when the
body is alone in the grave he or she
awakes and sits up and says: God.
have | died?' Then they see two
executors of justice; to the good one
widening the grave, whilst for the
wicked the grave becomes SO narrow
as to make the bones crack in cross
ing each other. After this the per-
son lies down to die again and the
soul Of the Mollammedan goes to the
we'll of souls at Jerusalem, whilst
the souls of Christians or Jews go
to the devil all awaiting the final
judgment day which is to take place
on the platform on Mount Moriah be-
fore the temple.
This is the spot where today the
mosque of Omar stands. l see yet
how the muzzein or prayer herald
mounts the minaret and hOwls his
call to prayer. 1t is a wierd cry.
Three times he chants: ALA hu
Akbar Aschhadn anna la ilaha i'll
Aallah, anna Muhammedur rasulu AL
lah", which being translated means:
81 bear witness that there is no 9TH
er God but Allah, and Mohammed is
Allah's prophet Then twice: Hay
va alad sala', which means Come to
prayer. Five times must the herald
call the Muslims to prayer; first, at
sunset; second las soon as it is full
night; third ,at the break of day;
fourth, at midday; fifth about the
middle of the afternoon. AS the
voice of the muzzein must be heard
by all, the minarets are built high
that naught may impede the sound
waves. BY use, also, the voice of the
herald acquires great strength.
MOhammed was the shrewdest OF
imposters; he devised a religion that
appeals to the wild, rude nature of
the tribes of the East.

STOP THE STRENUOUS LIFE
Weakens the Tissues and Lessons
Organic Vitality.

The stress and strain of the stren-
GUS life in both city and country tends
towards stomach troubles.
Five people suffer to-day where one
did ten years ago with sick headache,
dizziness, flatulence, ,sdistress.-afte eat
ing, specks lbefore the eyes, bloating,
nervousness, sleeplessness and the
many other symptoms of indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out OF three in Sauk Center and other
towns, should use Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. Nothing else is as safe, yet af.
fective; nothing else can be so
thoroughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles from indigestion as Mi-o.na.
1t is not mere digestive taken after
the food is eaten. but a true tonic,
stimulant and strengthener for the
muscular walls of the stomach, incres-
ing the flow of digestive fluids and
putting the stomach into such condi-
tion that it does :the work Nature
expects OF it.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in it's curative
action that Hanson & Emerson, with
every 5O-cent box they sell give a
to refund the money unless
the remedy does all that is claimed for

Envied Opportunity.

IF were. only rich"
A wall like that is heard SO much,
says an exchange, that we some
times forget there are advantages not
brought by being rich.
A noted man of wealth reyerses
the picture by bemoaning the fact
that he cannot get for his children
the golden opportunities Of the child
rem of the poor.
Singular. you say. is a longing for
the good the poor enjoy?
Not at all. In the atmosphere OF
riches the child is pampered and
penned within the prison walls of
form and turned loose in the luck
less pursuit of everything he wants.
The product of the home of plenty
is usually the fashion plate or the
iibertine. How many youths of rich
men have brains enough or sense
enough to take the burden their
sires cast upon them? A man is not
made by lining his pockets with gold
but by testing his mettle in the
crucible of hardship and endeavor.
No wonder the rich man cries,
Let me have my child trained as
the chlld of the poor"
The child Of the street, the farm,
the shop, is the child of stamina and
sense. He knocks up against the
world and gets rounded in charac-
ter and skill by the belts of trying
experience. He is hardened for the
fight while the petted puppet lulled
in the lap of ease is puny. and I'M
equal for the fight Of life.
The son of luxury who wins is the
exception. Call the roll of men of
success and how many of them are
rated as products of the palace and
home of plenty?
We should get away from the idea
that the door of opportunity is open
alone to the rich. Rather is 1t clos
ed to the son of plenty and wide
open for the child of the poor

by no means escape their depreda-

almost immune. Besides destroying
the foliage, the caterpillars are often
sively intrusive, invading the homes

ugly, and his hairs are stuck in loose

son upon whom he drops, causing in
fiammation and swelling. These hairs
are finally tangled up in the silk as
the caterpillar weaves his cocoon, and
become part of the egg receptacle,
leaving the caterpillar smooth

ARMY OF CATERPILLARS
is DEVOURING FOLIAGE

FOLIAGE on Washington's trees is
j being devoured wholesale by an
army of tussock caterpillars, the
larvae of the tussock moth, and APP
parently nothing can be done to check
the ravages of those now doing the
damage, though precautions can be
taken against a repetition of the pest
next year. Aiding and abetting the
tussock caterpillars are the cohorts OF
the "fall web worms" which are by no
means so numerous, but which, never
theless, are doing an immense amount
of damage.
For many years the tussock cater
pillar has been the most serious of the
shade-tree pests in Philadelphia, New
York, Brooklyn and Boston, but 1t was
not until 1895 that it appeared in
Washington in sufficient numbers to
be regarded as a menace to the foil
age. In that year also the fall web
worm was more abundant in this city
than 1t had been since 1885. In 1901
the pests of both kinds again appeared

another invasion, giving period of

The Careful Woman Rests Her Clothes,
Thereby Keeping Them Always
Fresh and Free from Shah
biness--Other Items.

The careful woman has taken to
resting her clothes.
Nothing induces shabbiness in coats
and gown more than the lines and
wrinkles which show they have been
worn and reworn.
Walking creases and sitting creases
make garment old before it has
done its duty.
Men appreciate this fact better than
women. That is why a man can al
ways appear well dressed with a
small wardrobe, because every week
or so he makes change of suits and
sends the one he has been wearing
to the tailor and never by any chance
allows wrinkle to become fixed in
his suit.
Not all womens frocks can 90 to a
tailor, but she can manage to change
her clothes often enough to give them
an entire rest. And it is real economy
to do so.
Here is a practical plan for clean
ing and pressing skirts! Brush them
first, then whisk off with a clean
brush dampened in ammonia and

it has been tested, Mr.. McCleary can't
see why it will not work well on all

may be installed only on the main
street car lines of the various cities,
but will be extended gradually to take
in all the lines.
The cost of the service is to be
investigated. Officials at the depart
ment are of the opinion the expense
will not be great, as the street car
companies will no doubt furnish the
necessary letter boxes and permit
their conductors to handle the mail.
In many cities street cars are now
used to transfer mail from one postal
station to another and the postal au-
thorities believe the system for the
collection of mail can be successfully
developed.

time has gone by, however. when the
