wahlnu q Deaf Person.

''To Waken deaf person who wishes
TO be called at certain hour Is about
the hardest proposition hotel clerk
runs up against" said member Of
that genial fraternity ITO ring the
telephone IL useless because the man
couldn't hear II you rang until dooms-
day. Knocking, for the same reason, Is
equally futile. Now and then a guest
who has lost his hearing suggests that
he leave bis door open all night 30 We
can walk right In and shake him, but
even though he does appear to be
dead game sport there are 90 many
chances OF somebody else less guileless
than ourselves walking In ahead OF US
that we cannot consent TO that. So far
the only satisfactory way found for
waking a deaf lodger Is to tie string
to his wrist. pass the string through
the keyhole aud then tug away at II
at the appointed time. That method.
however. Is rather primitive. It seems
to me that the man who can patent a
harmless artistic device for waking the
deaf Is sure of fame and fortune, not to
mention the gratitude of hotel clerks"

Th. Mullahs az india.

A mullah, or. as 1t is more properly
written. mollah, Is a title given In In.
dia and throughout the east generally
to a religious leader of any description.
Thus the sultan Of Turkey Is mol
lah. because he Is the supreme head Of
the moslem world. And there are hun
dreds OF others. To most Of the more
conspicuous among them we prefix the
adjective mad" This. however, must
not be taken to mean that they are
insane, the word being used rather In
Its oriental Significance Of INSPIRED" /"
The person OF the mollah Is sacred.
Not even the mighty Hablbullah him
self would care to lay sacrlleglous
finger on one of these sanity person
ages. If he were to venture such an
unheard of thing. vengeance would
surely overtake him. For II Is the
cardinal principle of the Ulima--as
the mollahs are collectively termed
that an injury purposely caused to one
OF their number can only be atoned
for by the death of tue individual In
tlicting 1t.
