THOUSANDS GATHERAT BATHS

ing Place Of Springs at Ham,
man-Rirha.

Dr. Georges Martin Of the thermal
station of Hamman-Rirha gives an in
teresting account of the Arabs who
come in crowds to take the baths at
that station. Their number every year
can be estimated at more than 10000.
or these bathers about two-thirds
are women. Besides the medical eff
feet the baths are for the Arab wom-
an meeting place, where she en-
counters her friends. as they remain
long time in the baths, three-quar-
tiers OF an hour or more. They dip
themselves in the water from time to
time; then, sitting on the curb, they
chat, laugh and sing.
Sometimes one of them addresses
an invocation to the Sultan Sliman
(Solomin), patron OF the springs hid
den in the mountain. The more be-
Heving sometimes receive their recon-
pense In seeing the steam rise from
the waters. After the bath the native
rolls himself In his cloak and lies in
the sun.
To quench the burning thirst which
the very warm bath gives Arabs suck
the juice OF lemons or oranges or
they go to the cafe maure" attached
to the baths to drink a tiny cup Of
conee. Many Arabs. instead of COM
ing to the establishment, prefer to
take the bath in the open air. On the
side OF the hill a spring flows from
the rock and the natives come to
battle in the natural basin where the
water gushes out.
AS a yotiye offering the women
hang portions of their wells on the
neighboring bushes. The childless
come there piously to plunge in their
small stuffed dolls. 1t is there that
the prayer is above all agreeable to
Sliman. They sacrifice fowls to him,
they burn incense and spices in the
earthen braziers, and it is in his hon.
OF that the little many-colored wax
tapers stuck in the ground burn so
often at night.

BURLINGTON COMMERCIAL CLUB

BURLINGTON COMMERCIAL CLUB.
burlington Hawkeye.l
The business men of Burlington
must not get the idea into their head
that the Commercial Exchange is an
institution which, in some mysterious
way. can accomplish things for Bur
lington without moral or material
help. The fact is it needs the loyal
support OF every business man in the
city. Every member of the exchange
should make II rue e attend the
Monday iuncheons and be ready to
participate in the discussions had there
over matters vital TO Burlington,s well
fare. The exchange desires to act for
the whole community, and the larger
the attendance and the more general
the discussion of topics introduced the
greater Will be the ability of the ex-
change to act in accordance with the
best interests Of all. Burlington has
never had better opportunity to get
acquainted with itself. than that which
lis furnished by the Monday luncheons.

Where HeIshazzar Feas.ed

German excavators in the ruins of
Babylon have been looking over Nebu.
chadnezzar's palace. The ancient city
is buried beneath the remnants of su.
perimposed buildings, but the tomb of
the old civilization has been made to
yield its secrets. There has been
found the great oblong hall, with an
alcove for the throne, where Belshaz.
gar held the famous feast and heard
the warning voice of the prophet.
Many relics of those precursors of
the modern public dinner have been
discovered. The architecture of those
days seems to have been mighty. One
OF the outer walls Of the palace was
more than "a yards thick.
