Untouched Morocco.

Open your atlas at the map Of Al
RIGA, and there, set like pearl on the
northwest shoulder of the continent,
you will see country called Morocco.
1t almost touches Europe; at the mar
rowest part there is but nine miles Of
strait between 1t and Spain, so you
might think the Moors had become
quite civilized in the course of ages
through having such cultivated neigh
bors SO near 1t is not SO, however.
And, strange to say, the more they see
of western progress, the more they
despise it. 1t is big country, this
Morocco, and explorers have left 1t
alone, for the natives detest Chris
tians, fearing lest they want to take
away from them their lovely land,
where 1t is always summer, and where
the soil, If just scratched with a
crooked stick, responds with teem-
ing harvest.

A Real Luther Coin.

The collection of coins Of a st.
Petersburg scholar, says the Berliner
Tageblatt, was recently overhauled
and q unique Luther coin was discov'
cred. 1t came originally from Nov
gorod, where 1t was found In an old
house which was being reconstructed.
On one side is the head Of Luther,
which is also shown when the coin Is
reversed. but with a FOOLS cap upon
his head. On the reverse side there is
a likeness Of the pope, which also ap-
pears when the coin is reversed, but
the head Is ornamented on the reverse
side with devil horns. The Latin In
scription explains that Luther be-
comes a fool and the pope a devil
by reversing the piece. 1t is believed
that there is no similar coin in exist

Mrs. ManselPIeydell writes Of the
curious charms used by the women o.
Morocco: Moorish women resort
much to charms to gain lovers or to
keep their affections when gained.
There Is one charm which Is seldom
known to fail. It consists Of shred
ding q small piece Of an undergarment
which the man has worn and. after
certain nominations have been said
over 1t. Of rolling the particles into
the shape Of 4 small ball. This is en-
bedded In 3 larger ball of clay and, aft
or being slightly dampened. 1t Is kept
in pot over the embers Of live char
coal. have been assured that as
soon as the heat penetrates the clay
the man, whoever he may be, will lay
aside whatever work he Is doing at
the time and fly to the arms Of the
woman who invokes the charms. Al
long as the ball is kept warm so long
will the heat Of love burn In he
heart Of the lover for that woman,
Another spell much resorted to is cast
by cutting of the tips Of a donkey's
ears, cooking them and mixing them
in the mans food. He then becomes
as foolish as a donkey with love for
the charmer who has provided his
unsavory repast."
