sCuttinu Of The khaIiu."

One Of the most interesting Of Egyp.
tian@ customs Is that known as the
"cutting of the Khalig." which Is cele-
brated on the occasion Of the opening
Of the dams Of the Khalig canal. there
by 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
q thanksgiving service. According to
tradition. the old time Egyptians had a
custom Of casting young virgin gayly
dressed into the river as sacrifice to
the gods, but at the present time the
offering takes the more humane form
of a dummy. A procession Of deco
rated boats and barges passes along
the river. one special craft being used
for the ceremony. This boat, rugged to
represent an old time warship, Is towed
by a decorated tug and is well provid-
ed with musicians. who play Arab
tunes, while minute guns are fred at
intervals in, honor Of the OCCASION

The return Of the wberry season
was always heartily welcomed by DR..
Johnson, for. as he once declared. OF
strawberries and cream he never could
have too much. Fortunately he some
times had opportunity to indulge bis
taste to the full, for his friend. DR..
Taylor Of Lichfeld. whom he con-
trived when possible to visit at straw
berry time, was rather a noted fruit
grower. and when at his house 1t was,
as Johnson said. with gusto, STRAW
berries and cream, toujours strawber-
ries and creamw A vOracious eater at
any time, Johnson's appetite for fruit
was almost limitless. Mrs. Thrale
tells US that he used often to eat half
a dozen peaches before breakfast. and
then frequently she had heard him
complain that never in all his life had
he quite as much wall fruit "a he de-
sired. save once. The exceptional oc-
casion was during q visit to Lord San
dys' seat at Ombersley. The exact
quantity he then devoured has not
been recorded. but he was accused OF
clearing a whole wall side.-Pal Mall

The Mayor and Both Commissioners
Are In Favor Of Building
the Municipal
Hall.
LOCATION IS TROUBLE
Anticipated Trouble over the Loes-
sjon is the Thing That is Wor-
ryins the Council
Nov.

A great amount OF talk has been
occasioned by the rumors Of new
city hall as was published last week.
Many arguments, both for and
against the proposition hare been
heard As general thing, however,
tine main sentiment OF the citizens Of
the city are in favor of the ne~ build
ling, if the opinions expressed on the
tftreet are any indication.
The question of location OF a mu-
,nicipal building is the one of greatest
Importance Just al present and is the
reason thai more has not been said
Many are in favor OF placing the
building at the site now owned by the
CITY at Twelfth and Main streets, say
ing that that is the logical place for
1t IS the city must grow In that di-
recfion and It would greatly improve
the appearance OF that section OF the
city.
Mayor Elder, just before he started
for Burlington last week said The
only reason that | have never breach
ed the subject OF new city hall is on
account Of the difficulty that would
be experienced in selecting site
think that it is the one thing that the
city needs most just now and would
welcome an expression from people on
the subject
Commissioner Thomas P. GRAY is
also favorable to the question and
says that bonds could be issued for
the erection OF the building to the
amount of about $4,000 and matur-
Ing in twenty-five or fifty years with
out causing the tax payer great dea,
OF trouble. In his opinion the site
spoken of above or the place where
the Sixth street engine house is al
present would be desirable for the
building He is emphatic in his ex-
preston OF the need for the build
ing.

MUCH VIRTUE IN REST ROOM
Part of Home That Must Not Be over.
looked and Is Deserving Of
Lot of Attention.

The rest room is one of the latest
contributions to the wearing life o.
today. or, rather. is an alienation OF
that state, giving opportunities to
those who want Quietude to obtain ii
within bounds of their own domains,
instead of seeking it elsewhere. How
Is 1t to be made?
In Germany what is called the in
closed "sun parlor" is an excellent
resource. An outdoor sitting room is
constructed on any wide balcony OF
veranda, and fitted with glass screens
These are adjusted so that the sitting
room may be used all the year round
and even in summc- and more par
ticularly at the seaside, are a protec-
ton against too strong breezes. The
screens, 1t should be mentioned, are
made so as to fold backward and for
ward, and should have green shades.
Japanese lanterns serve for a dec
Grafton and for lighting at night, and
the big leaved plants make a cool
background
In an inclosed rest room grass mat
ting is suitable and cool on the floor,
and long cushioned lounges and arm
chairs, including a rocking chair, in
vite one to repose.
For breakfast, afternoon tea and
the picnic luncheon such a room is an
ideal one, as well as for the rest
cure.
