A Menace to Turkeys Power.
This is one explanation of the some.
what reactionary policy which has
been noted of late on the part of the
Young Turks: They are deliberately
trying to allay the feeling of distrust
on the part of the more rigid Mos
lens. They see that they must con-
serve the one tie that makes them a
nation, the religion of Islam. If the
Bedouins, who never have thought
much Of the Turks religion, follow
the more orthodox Wahabis, in their
crusade for an Islam truer to type,
then indeed will hard times have
dawned for Constantinople.
Even the new movement Of troops,
which sends men from Syria and Kur-
distan and Asia Minor into European

troops quickly to the scene Of frequent
disturbances by the turbulent Bedou-
ms. Without It, the control Of the
Hejaz region was merely nominal, a
government by entreaty and brides to
the lawless tribes.
And Hejaz province, so little known
to the world, and a mere desert waste,
is the most important of the Turkish
possessions. This anomaly is ex-
planned by the statement that the two
holy cities of Islam, Mecca and Me-
dina, are within the Hejaz. By virtue
of the possession of these Turkey
holds the Caliphate, and is regarded
as the great Moslem power. Actually,
Great Britain rules several times as
many Moslems as Turkey. But it is
Turkeys hold upon the followers of
the prophet that enables this queerly
assorted empire to hang together. If
she loses the Hejaz, it will be shortly
all up with her. None the less, there
are many students of the situation,
myself among the number, who look
of Arabia before many years.
Two years ago the Hejaz railway
was completed as far as Medina,
amid great jubilations. 1t is doubtful
if it will be pushed through to Mecca
for long time to come; at least, not
until this question of the turbulent
Bedouins is settled. For nearly it's
whole length the road runs through
absolute desert. Special cars were
built to carry water The fear Of the
Arabs is SO great that some of the
passenger coaches are armored-and
speak of their filth. The schedule, and
general management, would be count
ed farcical by American railroad
men; even certain roads in the south
ern states are punctuality itself, as
compared with this single train day.
Most of the cars are third class, a
flrst-class coach being run once a
week. In the transportation of SOL
diers and pilgrims, freight cars are
employed. I have seen sheep cars,
with Stat sides and two floors, filled
with passengers, each of whom car
ries his own bedding and cooking ar
rangements with him. Still, this is a
great improvement over the three-mile
an hour camel caravan.

MATS MAKE THE HEIRLOOMS
Most Cherished Possessions OF the
Samoans, and the Older They
Are, the Better.

Among the curious customs OF the
Samoans is that of making heirlooms
of mats. BY some simple process of
reasoning the mat has come to be
identified with the family, as the
heRYtstone is additionally sacred
among the Saxon race.
The Samoan mats are really fine
specimens of art. The people esteem
them much more highly than any ar
ticle of European manufacture and
the older they are the more they are
regarded.
Some of them have names known
all over the Samoan group. The old
est is called Moe-e Fui-Fui. or ",The
man that slept among the creepers. ."
1t got this title by reason of the fact
that it had been hidden away for
years among the creeping convolvulus
that grows wild along the seashore.
1t is known to be 200 years old, as
the names of Its owners during that
period can be traced
The possession Of one of these old
mats gives the owner great power:
in fact, 1t is a title deed to rank and
property, from the Samoan stand
point. 1t is no matter If the mats
are tattered and worn out; their an.
tiquity is their value and for some of
the most cherished of them large
sums Of money would be refused.
