CUTTING OF TIE KHALlG
interesting Egyptian Custom Which Is
Celebrated on Opening Dams
Of Canal.

One Of the most interesting Of
Egyptian customs is that known as
the Cutting Of the Khalig," which
is celebrated on the occasion of the
opening OF the dams Of the Khalig
canal, thereby causing the flooding
Of the land for cultivation purposes.
The ceremony takes place in August,
when the Nile reaches its highest
level, and is really a thanksgiving
service. According to tradition, the
old-time Egyptians had a custom of
casting young virgin, gaily dressed,
into the river as a sacrifice to the
gods; but at the present time the
Offering takes the more humane form
Of dummy. A procession of decor
ated boats and barges passes along
the river, one special craft being
used for the ceremony. This boat,
rugged to represent an old-time war;
ship, is towed by a decorated tug,
and is well provided with musicians,
who play Arab tunes, while minute
guns are fired at intervals in honor
of the occasion.-Wide World Maga-
zine.

DESERT WEAPONS.

There are, not counting the rifles
ard carbines captured from the Ital-
.ars nor the regulation arms dealt
cut by the Turks, weapons of every
kind and age in the camp, writes the
Tripoli correspondent of the London
Express. I have seen within a few
hundred yards of one another a
chassepot rife, a double barreled
shotgun, a two handed Crusaders
sword { a magnificent piece Of steel
over four feet long), slender, in
laid scimitar, a Moorish curved dag
ger and an automatic pistol.
There is no doubt that the desert
is supplying Turkey with soldiers as
efficient as it provided her with food
for them to eat. A wonderful place,
the desert, able to pour forth unex-
pected riches.

RUSE OF THE JOURNALIST

Lord Northcliffe, who began his
career as the proprietor of a wretch

'Northcliffc,'' said a New York
man who once worked for him, ''is a

this Turkish-Italia1 war, for in

''Northcliffe, when the war broke
out, couldn't get any news through
from Rome. He inquired into the
matter, and his Roman correspon-
dent got word to him that the cen

he wrote.
"Northcliffe then sent back the
message:

TEACH CHILDREN "THANK YOU"

Many mothers neglect, nowadays,
to teach their children one of the
first principles Of politeness-that of
writing their own little ''thank you"
letters for gifts. My mother brought.
up her four children so carefully in
that respect that we have never de-
parted from the custom. From the
time we could write at all, by a week
from Christmas, we had written to
every absent sender Of a gift. Most
of the notes were stiff, childish
scrawls, for we were not, any of us,
budding authors. Now some of my
friends take nearly a month to ac-
knowledge their gifts, and never
seem to think of making their chill
dren acknowledge presents at all

RICHES THRUST UPON HIM
fh1Egh Gssynzn Did Not Know &, He
Had identified Himself With
Nefarious Gang

Nat very long ago a Ger1na;. or
ganIzt, VIM went to ST. Petersburg
10 Eve, had there III experience with
= mgw cap that for time almost
made him believe in the magic of
the Teutonie fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap dur
ing iris frst day at the Russian capi-
tai, anl wore it the next day when
he went out for walk. On his re-
turn to his lodgings he was amazed
to find two gold purses in his pocket,
one of which contained SUM equiv
alent to $50.
The next day, after his usual walk,
he found four purses in his outside
pocket, a find that caused him to
doubt his senses. A third day, with
a similar profitable result, sent him
to the chief Of police to tell his story.
The authorities detailed detec-
tive to 60 with the German to the
tailor who made the cap. Invcsti-
cation disclosed the fact that it had
been constructed Of an odd piece of
English cloth brought in by a stran-
ger. From it the tailor had made
fifteen identical caps to order. ITav-
ing bit left, he had constructed a
sixteenth cap, which was the one he
sold to the organist.
The detective then followed the
organist through the streets of the
city, when the mystery was solved.
The cap, it appears, was the emblem
of gang of pickpcckets working CO.
enerativaly. The ore who secured
parse dropped it into the pocket. of
the first confederate he saw. The
cap had identified the German, and
lie had reaped the reward.
With this clew it was an easy mat
ter for the Russian authorities to
catch the whole gang.-Youth's

He went all the way down to the

Smise dead, stood aside. The doctor,
however, was greeted by a shout as
he climbed down.

asked the surgeon.
