what different from those Of Egypt, Tur-
key and Arabia. The religion has
changed greatly acco riding to the coun-
tries where it has been believed. Moros
are among the most ignorant followers
of the faith, and the same is true or
certain districts of this country where
the people have mixed the principles or
the Koran with those Of Hindcoism. In
some villages the followers or tne
prophet believe in witches. They employ
the Hindoo astrologfsts to NIX luck! os .t,s
for their marriages and also pray 70 the
Hindoo gods to give them sons Inere
are some sects which have castles, anu
in the Punjab there is one led oy
man who claims to be the Messiah vi
the Mohammedans. He breaches against
modern education and says that the DAY
of resurrection is at hand.
In general there are about as many
sects among the Mohammedans as the
Christians NMohammed told his follow
ers that after he died the religion would
be divided and seventy-three sects would
arise There are more than this In the
Mohammedan world. In India the 1our
principal schools are the Sunnltes, the
gressive school. which is IN favor OF
education and almost everything modern
1t is from this last school that the CHER
unrest comes. The college at Aligarh
represents it, and among its members
are those who belong to the various
Moslem leagues and Moslem agitators
The Sunnites and Shiahs have long
been the most prominent sects through
out the Mohammedan world. The Sum-
ties acknowledged the first four caliphs
to have been the rightful successors of
Mohammed, where as the Shiahs claim
that Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of
the prophet, should have succeeded him.
There are something like 145.OOO.OO
sunnites In the world and only 15,Oo0,000
Shiahs
AS to the Wahabis, they are the Uni
tarians of Mohammedarism. They claim
to have the purest religion and to found
their faith not upon saints, but solely
upon the Koran and Mohammed. They
do not worship the tomb of Mohammed,
and when they captured Medina about
a century ago they destroyed the relics
and stripped off the ornaments of that
sacred spot.
There is another sect here known as
the Order of Assassins. which is also
found in Arabia and Persia. 1t was
Instituted by mahdi who appeared at
the time Of the Crusades and who be-
ifeved In political assassination as cure
for various ills. @
In the main, however. the Indian Mo-
ha mmedans believe much the same as
their brothers of this. religion in other
parts of the world. They believe in one

CHESTER. Pa. July 19.-The party
OF Trainer young folks that accom-
panied the fishers Association base
bali team to New Castle on Saturday
afternoon had an experience on the
return trip that they do not care to
have repeated. The trip was made in
William Clendenning launch, and
the trip TO New Castle was without
amy unploasantncss and excellent time
was made
After witnessing the game of base
ball the party took TO the boat for the
home trip. Everything went well for
a time, and then the engine refused
to work, tho party at this tine being
on the Jersey side near ePnnsgrove.
Mr. Clcndenning seemed unable to
right matters and it looked as though
the eXcursiOnists would be forced 10
spend the night on the water Clar-
enco Daller rose TO the occasion and
madera change i'm the battery connec-

be no signals given While wonder

again the trip was continued without

MAKING BUTTER
IN HOT WEATHER.

According to a we'll known dairy
man. buttermaking OH the farm IN hot

the same holds true In most Of the
creameries Heat Injuries the grain OF

flavor indirectly.
Butter With poor body and poor fla

good body can be secured at any time

care of that. II ice is not used. well
or spring water will answer the pur-
pose II cool enough.
A few farmers have cellars so clean
and cool that churning can be done
successfully all summer. Those who

Avoiding a Bad Flavor.
But how avoid a bad flavor: More
than 200 different kinds OF germs have
been found in milk by scientists.
Most Of them are harmless; somr are
beneficial. But even the helpful
germs. the Tactic acid germs. will spoil
the cream If given time enough. Ripe
cream makes delicious butter. but
when overripe has a nauseous flavor
The secret Of the whole matter is TO
churn before it becomes overripe.
There are three practices that have
been proved helpful: First. churn early
and often, so that fermentation will
not have time to progress too far; sec

retard souring: third, skim rich
