The supsrstitious MosIem.

rIOUl Harper . WEEKLY, 2. .. ...Ha
The Moslem faith lays much stress
upon rites and lamentations for pro-
pitiating evil spirits, which are sup
posed to be in constant attendance
upo all daily concerns In the life of
man. These spirits, called jinnee, may
become visible by a change in the dem
sitY of their composition. Supposed to
consist of minute particles, they be-
come visible or invisible by a rapid ex-
panSlon OF diminution or their volume.
The tinnee are not all spirits OF dark
ness, but comprise the good ones as
well. These latter may be easily rec
Ognized on sight by their Respondent
beauty, though the former type are
hideous and disgusting. Many culti-
waited M highly educated Mohamme-
dams claim to have seen jlnnees, and I
have conversed with them, and they
display charms and talismans for sum-
'moning the good and warding off the
evil demons. During M feast o.. RAJ
MADAM, all evil spirits are supposed to
be strictly confined Within the bowels
of he earth, n unable TO tause any
disturbance. At all other times, the
sons OF the. faithfup seek to exclude
these undesirable attendants from the
houses by scattering salt or iron filings
about the floor, especially liz the room
be an empty one. The farorfte lurking
places Of jinnee are supposed TO be
crossroads, vacant houses. baths, an
covered jugs or pals and yawning
mouths. This necessitates the covering
up and thorough sprinkling of recep-
tacleS which might harbor SPIRITS,
whenever h householder leaves home.
Special prayers for such preyentions
are also authorized by the Koran.
The Moslem Is constantly repeating
pious phrases, such as I'm the name OF
God, the compassionate, the merciful,"
to drive away evil presences whenever
some business transaction is undertake
en-. This is the custom before entering
OF leaving a house, meeting or parting
from a friend, p%artaking of a meal.
taking a bath or killing any animal for
food. BY this means, the bad jinnee
and any harmful consequences are
averted. Supposedly for Il similar rea-
son a continuous antiphonal chant is
kept up by the watchers at a deathbed,
from the moment the last spark of life
has departed, continuing until the bu-
ria has, taken place.

GROWING THE YOUNG STOCK.
From the Nebraska Farmer.

HtSAAi AAN ohd dIIlC
Confronted with high priced feeds the
farmer and stock grower is compelled to
feed J~udiclously. There is a way to feed
even 60-cent corn prohtably when Sc and
81 per hundred may be had for it when
turned into beef or pork. The one way
to do this most effectually is to make the
young stock grow from the start.
There is no money In "roughing" young
stock. Such treatment OF pigs, calves and
colts will be found a losing proposition If
any figures are kept on the operation. 1t
is much better to so balance the ration
that the concentrated foods will give their
maximum feeding value when blended
with that very plentiful food, grass. Now
is the time to grow the young things
cheap and rapidly. .t.
Pigs of April and May farrow are now
ready to leave the dam and they should
be taught TO eat so that when they are
weaned they will not lose q day in growth.
This may be done by keeping before them
the foods which they shall be expected
TO live upon after weaving. We find that
the feeders who derive the best results
grind such foods as corn, oats, barley, al
falfa, or whatever foods seem to be
handiest and feed these dry, except for
having a bit Of milk or water poured over
the dry, ground feed after ii is distributed
in the trough. We know Of a great many
feeders who soak the feed, but we are
led to believe that the one who mixes the
least water with feed for young stock
will derive the best results. 1t is really
not necessary to grind the corn, as the
young pig is a~bundantly capable Of grind
ing his own corn, b. ,
Alfalfa, If 1t was green and nicely cured
at time Of putting into the stack is a
splendid thing to grind with bats and
corn. 1t may be ground In any of the
ordinary burr mills by first chopping 1t in
short lengths in an ensilage cutter, or a
machine made for the purpose. This
makes the ideal feed for either calves OF
pigs, and we presume that 1t would dc
full well for the colt.

CHAPTER VII.

The murder Of NJ. Revere, committed
in broad daylight in a quarter of Paris
filled with life and movement, caused a
widespread sensation. There was so
much mystery mixed in the affair.
What could be ascertained about the
dead mans life was very dramatically
written up by Paul Rodier in a sketch,
and this, republished everywhere and
enlarged upon, soon gave to the crime
of the Boulevard de Clichy the interest
Of a judicial 81 All that there
was of vulgar curiosity in man awoke
as atavistic bestiality at the smell Of
blood.
What was this NJ. Revere, former
consul to Buenos AyreS or Havana,
amateur collector of objects of vertu,
member of the Society of Bibliophiles,
where he had not been seen for a long
time? What enemy had entered his
room for h purpose of cutting his
throat. Might he not nave been assas-
sinated by some thief who knew that
his rooms contained q collection of
works Of art? The fete at Montmarte
was often in full blast In front of the
house where the murder vas commit
ted, and among the crowd of ex-prison
birds and malefactorS who are always
attendant upon foreign kirmesses
might q some m Of them have re-
turned and committed the crime? The
papers LOON advantage OI Inc OCCdSlOI
to moraliZe upon permitting these feteS

where vice and crime seemed to spring
spontaneously from the soil.
But no one, not one journal-perhaps
by order-Spoke Of that unknown Wis
itor whom Moniche called the individ-
ual and WIN the FORTRESS had seen
standing beside NJ. Revere in front Of
the open safe. Paul Rodier in his
sketch scarcely referred tO tba fart that
justice had a clew important enough
10 penetrate the mystery Of the crime
and in the II arrest the murderer,
and the readers while awaiting devel-
opn1ents asked What mystery was hid
den ina this murder. Moniche at times
wore a frightened yet important air.
He felt that he was an object Of curl
Csity to many, the center Of prejudices.
The porter and his wife possessed u
terrible secret. They were raised in
their own estimation. r
1--WE shall appear at the trial." said
Moniche, seeing himself already before
the red robes II holding up mis- hand
to swear that he would tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. III
And as they sat together in their lit
tie lodge they talked the matter over
and over and brought up every incident
IL NJ. Rovere's life which might have a
bearing on the case.
