Beliefs of the Moroccans.

The Arabs of Morocco believe that
the earth is balanced on the horns of
a bull, which itself rests on a fish
on the surface of the sea the sea
being borne up by the Divine Power.
When the bull is tired he changes the
earth from one horn to the other,
with the result that there is an earth
quake,
During sleep the soul leaves the
body and visits other souls. What
we see and hear whilst dreaming are
the things which the soul sees and
the conservation in which il takes
part during its peregrinations. Con
sequently, We ought never to awaken
a sleeper rudely. for il he happens
to be dreaming at that momen his
soul may not have time TO return to
the body. and in consequence the
man will die.
Moroccan wizards contend that
ghosts can only be devils, never the
souls of dead people. They are human
in appearance with the exception of
their eyes, which are directed down.

forked or shaped like the hoof of a
camel. These ghosts speak. but they
are intangible. They are of all col
ors-yellow, red, green, white and

tion consists in playing tricks on
human beings.
AT Marrakech there is a house in
which the n placed a bath; but

belonged to the devils. A young
woman came to have a bath but no
sooner had she stepped into the water

cries for help, the %neighbors rushed
in, whereupon she appeared on the

people tried to seize her she disap-
peared, and so on for some time.
There was nothing to be done but to

THE GREAT PROBLEM OF DISTRI-
BUTTON.

President Radford of the Farmers
Union remarks, in an address to the
members of that organization, that
although the public at large mani
tests a lively interest in nearly every
thing else that concerns the farmer
it has been singuiarly indifferent to
the problem of distribution. There
is undoubtedly some justice in that
criticism. In any movement that
looks to increased prohibition the
people of the cities show a concern
scarcely less than that of the farm
ers themselves. There are organiza-
lions made up almost Overwhelming
ly of city folk which promote the
cause Of conservation, of good roads
and every other movement intended
to advance either the material or in
~tellectual interests of the farmers.
But it is true, as Mr.. Radford says,
that SO far the people of the cities
have not shown an equal readiness
to cooperate with the farmers in their
efforts to reorganize and improve the
machinery of distribution.
The failure of city folk to take
counsel with the farmers in this mat
tier with the same earnestness and
alacrity that have marked their CO.
operation in other movements which
primarily concern farmers can not be
due to any feeling on the part of the
city folk that at this point the lines
of their interests diverge, for, as a
matter Of fact, at no point is the par

ENCOURAGING NEWS.

The news that the receiver of the
Brownsville canal proposes to con-
tinue operating the canal is en-
c%ouraging. And further-that he
finds the property in much better
shape than he expected, and believes
it can be put on its feet and made a
paying proposition.
This is truly good news for the
Brownsville vicinity. 1t would have
been a calamity for the many farm
ers depending upon this canal for
water had it been found impossible
to continue operating the canal this
season. There are thousands of
acres in cultivation along this canal,
and heavy losses might result should
ii not be operated.
With the construction of the big
drainage system now under way in
the same locality and the assurance
of continued water service, the farm
ers of this section may promise them
selves good times.

allelism more perfect Mr. Radford
remarks, in his circular address. that
the farmers get only 46 per cent of
what the consumers pay for the
farmers products. This statement Is
not the result of a guess, nor even Of
an estimate, but of a most thorough
and painstaking inquiry conducted
by the department of agriculture. OF
what city folk pay for the farmers
produce, the farmer gets less than
half. The 81 per cen is required to
~lubricate the machinery of distribu-
ton. Any machinery whose chief
item of expense was. not the fuel to
put it in motion, nor even its raw
material, but the oil to keep it
smooth-running would not be toler-
ated by mechanical science for a day;
and yet we have been %tolerating an
economic machine of that kind for
years and generations, nor have we
vet awakened to a full sense of the
a%bsurdity. M~anifestly it is a ma

much lost NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. News.
