A Bit of Sicily,

There is no Italian town more pic
turesque than the Sicilian capital, Pa.
lermo," writes a traveller. "In its port
lie crowded the queerest coasting craft
| have ever set eyes on. Sailing ships
of all rigs, their bulls painted all the
colors Of the rainbow, nose up against
the quay, where mule carts. whose
drivers are shouting at the top of their
voices, wait to take away the merchan-
disc. The narrow street where the
custom house officers examine the
goods brought ashore is a place Of
terrific noise. When a driver. two
clerks and two custom house officers
are discussing the contents Of a bale
or a cask it seems as though murder
must be committed within the next
few seconds. But somebody signs
something. the cart moves on, and ev-
erybody laughs"

Called For Glory Divine.

Among the customers in a drug store
one day last week was a little girl who
is known to her playmates in that vi.
cinity rs Peggy" As she stood wait
ing for her turn it could be noticed that
she was repeating something under her
breath in her effort to remember what
her mother had sent her to buy.
Mother wants five cents worth OF
glory divine"
"Of WHAT" said the young clerk,
who was standing there as IL stunned
by a hard blow of a baseball bat.
GLORY divine. glory divine" came
the reply in a louder voice than when
she had made the original request.
" You had better 60 home and have
your mother write 1t down on paper,
little girl" said the clerk. feeling that
the girl was too sure to argue with
him.
Soon she returned, and. handing the
note to the clerk, he read, Five cents
worth of chlorate Of lime."-Philadel
phia Times.

A TRAGEDY OF Instinct.

The processionaries are rather strange
caterpillars. A single string of them
five or six yards long has just climbed
down from my parasol pines and Is at
this moment Unfolding itself in the
walls of my garden, carpeting the
ground traversed with transparent silk,
according to the custom of the race.
To say nothing Of the meteorological
apparatus Of unparalleled delicacy
which they carry on their spine. these
caterpillars, as everybody knows. have
this remarkable quality-that they
travel only In a troop, n after thF
other, like the blind OF Breughel OF
those in the parable, each of them Oh
stinately, iudissolubly following her
leader; so much so that our author
having one morning disposed the file
on the edge OF a large stone vase. thus
closing the circuit. for seven whole
days, during an atrocious week.
through cold, hunger and ~unspeakable
WEAKNESS, the unhappy troop on its
tragic round without rest, respite or
mercy, pursued the p%itiless circle I'm

CameIs That Ride.

The Bedouins decorate their baggage
camels In the most fantastic manner.
A huge pack saddle is surmounted by
a still larger pannier. Above this
again Is a sort Of chair In which the
rider sits. The long strips Of leather
hanging down the sides are simply
for decorative purposes. / have seen
eamels when too young to go on long
tricks being carried In these ~panniers,
and they are always used for the Be-
douin children.
This tribe has many quaint and curl
Gus customs. Perhaps the most curl
Gus Of these is the mi In which
they show their esteem for certain
strangers. One evening when a young
camel had been killed for the meal l
noticed the women collecting the
blood in a bowl. Then, to my aston
ishment, they started painting my
camels on the necks and tanks with
the blood. Unknowingly | was the
recipient Of the greatest honor that
can be paid D stranger. The blood
dried on and remained for a long
time, acting az a talisman among all
the Sherarat tribe.-Douglas Carru-

Smoking That Maddens.

Marfhuana Is a weed used by people
of the lower class and sometimes by
soldiers, but those who make larger
use Of It are prisoners sentenced to
long terms. The use Of the weed and
It's sale, especially In barracks and
prisons, are very severely punished:
yet 1t has many adopts, and Indian
women cultivate 1t because they sell IT
at rather high prices. The dry leaves
Of %marihuana alone or mixed with to-
bacco make the smoker wilder than a
wild beast. II is said that Immediately
after the first three or four drafts OF
smoke smokers begin to feel a slight
headache; then they see everything
moving, and finally they lose all con-
troll of their mental faculties. Every.
thing. the smokers say. takes the
shape Of a monster, and men look like
devils. They begin 20 fight, and, or
course, everything smashed Is a mon
ster KILLED" But there are imaginary
beings whom the wild man cannot Kill,
and these inspire fear until the man Is
panic stricken and runs.-Mexican

The Curse Of Cowdray.

Cowdray. once the estate of the earls
4 Egmont and now In the possession
Of Lord COwdray, better known as Sir
Weetman Pearson, is the subject Of a
very interesting superstition. Shortly
after the dissolution of the mOnasteries
Cowdray was conferred upon Sir An
thony Browne. the father Of the first
Lord Montague. who had already been
given Battle Abbey as a reward for
his services to Henry VIII. The story
@ that Sir Anthony, who had de
stroyed the church and the cloisters in
Battle Abbey, was visited in the great
hall as he was holding his first feast
by one of the dispossessed monks. who
after solemnly cursing him. prophesied
that his family should perish by fire
and water. Two centuries and a half
later the prophecy was tragically full
filed. In 1893 the house was destroy
ed by fire and within a week Of that
disaster the last Lord Montague lost
his life in Germany in ar unsuccessful
attempt to shoot the falls of the Rhine.
