A STRANGE PAGEANT.
Annual March of Mohamm edans to
tho Tomb OF Moses.

Annual March of Mohamm edans to
tho Tomb OF Moses.
One Of the strangest of all the
pageants which are to be seen in Je-
rusalem is the annual march Of the Mo-
hammedans to the tomb of Moses. To
them, as well as to Christians and
Jews, Moses is prophet of the high
est honor. But, rejecting the traditions
of the Hebrews, they refuse to believe
that he was buried in a valley in the
land Of Moab, as is described in the
last chapter of Deuteronomy. Instead
they assert that he was buried where
he breathed his last, upon the summit
of Mount Nebo.
Therefore each year at the time of
the Greek Easter the faithful gather
by thousands in the early morning be-
fore the site Of the temple Of Solomon
in perfect silence waiting for day
break. Later the strange scene of quiet
is entirely transformed, fanatics dane
ing and preaching, hordes of dervishes
whirling about in mysterious sacred
dances and hundreds of exhorters rous-
ing the enthusiasm Of their fellows
The scene Is gaudy with hundreds of
red and green banners. and the only
semblance of order is in the semi
regular organizations of marchers
At last the procession forms, with
the banners borne ahead, an imam
bearing the yataghan of the prophet
short, straight edged sword used by
the armies of Northumberland after
them more dancers and marchers.
A large part of the population OF
Jerusalem gathers about the gate, out
of which the procession moves toward
the Mount Of Olives, but few besides
/ the faithful endeavor to obtain a place
F, in the ranks Of marchers, since death
has often been the penalty of an at
tempt by non-Mohammedan to make
this march to "Nebi- Mouca," the 'tomh
of Moses
Traders Of many kinds invade the
camp, for the marchers remain at the
/ mosque five days, and all their sup
plies must be bought from the wan
dering merchants, who make a bust
ness of looking after their needs. AT
ter the first excitement fanaticism
yields to good humor, and games and
banter fill the time. for those who
have paid their duties to the tomb.
The mosque on Nebo is one of the
most sacred Of Mohammedan shrines
and one of the most difficult for q
Christian to approach.
An English traveller who brought m
, order from the porte was denied ad

it has become possible to enter, it /.

MATERIALISM OF THE SOUL.
Chicago Physicians Conduct Investi-
nations Along Strange Lines.

Chicago Physicians Conduct Investi-
cations Along Strange Lines.
Chicago physicians, with true, Windy
city progress and interest in that
which is unusual, are now busily en-
gagged in conducting Investigations con-
:erning the materialism of the soul.
Internes at the County Hospital are
watching day after day for soul ghosts,
and in order TO put the soul finding
quest OF a more systematic and scien-
life basis county officials are to be pc
itioned for permission to photograph
Heath beds. 1t is proposed to take
series of negatives as lives of patients
at the County Hospital come to an end
n hope that upon one delicately sensi-
TIED plate trace of n departing soul
may be recorded.
Dr. Rose NJ. Reading, prominent
Chicago physician. says that on two
occasions she has witnessed the depart
are of the soul from the body In dis
.ussing these occurrences, DIR. Reading
says:
The first remarkable experience
,ame to me in East Chicago about IS

IN my lap.
Suddenly as l gazed at the baby

hen rose about foot from it. 1t was

and then drifted up toward the corner
Of the room. Fascinated, / watched ii.

What the phenomena meant. Then !
looked at the child in my lap. 1t was
dead. | knew at once | had witnessed
the departure OF the soul from the
body.
THE second instance came about 10
years later. 1 and my husband were
at the death bed of an old man in Chi
>ago a bright light was burning in
the corner of the room. The end drew
near, and my husband and / watched
closely. As death came the soul de-
parted in vapory haze, rose toward
the ceiling, and finally faded from
sight. There is no questioning the
tangibility or the materially Of the
shape that drifted away from the body
of the dying man.
THE reason the soul is not seen more
frequently is because men and women
at death beds are always moved by
unusual emotions and the brain never
can see clearly through strong emo
ton.
About the materiality OF the soul
we know little, Of course. 1t permeates
the whole body. How it leaves the
body we do not know. There was a
time when they did not understand
the circulation of the blood Some day
we will know all about the circulation
Of the soul.
The study of the materialism Of
the soul has to so forward slowly and
conservatively, of course, because peo-
pie are prone to pooh, pooh discus
sions Of 1t and laugh at contentious.
But you remember there was a day
when they laughed at Fulton because
he said he could steam up the Hudson
River"

The Turned-Up Mustache.

The German emperor is generally re-
garded as the inventor of the turned
up mustache. This is true only as far
as introducing it as a fashion. 1t was
invented at the court Of Philip Nv.
about 1926. That monarch was the first
TO wear his mustache turned upward.
From the Spanish court the fashion
spread over all Europe Charles l. Of
England. Philips brother-in-law, and
many members Of the Austrian Haps-
burgs adopted 1t. 1t came to Belgium
and was introduced into Germany by
the Spanish soldiers during the 80
years war.
1t was also found in Sweden. as well
as in France under Louis XIII. Under
Louis XIV. the beard went out of fash
elegant world knew only clean shaven
faces, until the French revolution
brought the mustache again into use.
But nowhere, except in its Spanish
home, did the mustache rise so ex-
travagantly as 1T does to-day with the
German emperor and his imitators.
In Spain all kinds of artificial means,
such as bandages and coverings, were
employed to compel the mustache to
keep this unnatural upward position,
and in looking at the paintings Of Vel
asquez or Murillo. one can easily under
stand that without such coerciye mea-
sures a true full blooded Spaniard
could never have realized his ideal
mustaches.
