Something more than a mere desire
for change has brought about the
use Of white for those in mourning.
1t is the expression Of changing at
titude Of the mind toward this mat
ter Of mourning apparel. White is
not somber or oppressive to others
and therefore will make the most un-
obtrusive mourning. For the past
three seasons black hats of Grape Tor

have been duplicated In white and 1t
IL probable that the idea has been
well received because the most au-
thoritative shops continue to show
white mourning.
For the summer season wells are
made of net bordered with Grape.
Those for first mourning are large
but cool and light. nevertheless. The
very large, coarse mesh with wide
Grape border, either in black or white,
can be worn without any incon-
venience. It is probable that white

white will make rapid progress in

Mu.sulman. Of tho World.

Turkish periodicals publish statis-
tics of the Mussulman population of
the world, and. althoughft is difficult
to follow absolutely the statistics Of
country where records are SO i'm
perfectly kept, the approximate re-
suits are as follows:
The Ottoman Empire contains 24.-
100000 persons. of whom 100000 live
In Europe and 1S.0OO,O00 in Asia. But
of these not more than one-half pro-
fess the faith of Mahomet.
The Russian empire has quite a
proportion of the followers of Ma

India there are some 5O,000.000 Mus
sulmans, while Persia, Afghanistan,
Arabia and other independent coun-
tries In Asia have about 10000, 900
more. The Dutch colony of Java, with

IN OTHER PEOPLES WINDOWS
Most Of Us. It Would Seem, Find a
Certain Fascination In Gazing
Into Them.

Reading some books is like looking
into peoples houses in the evening
after the lights are turned on and be-
fore the shades are pulled down, de-
clares a wellknown writer.
To some of US. looking into peo-
ple's houses Is more interesting and
even more exciting than the theater.
When the darkness makes all things
outside lonesome and strange we like
to take one small. polite look into
sitting-room where there is fire and
a reading table and family. or into
a dining.room, where another family
is eating supper. and where we can
see the cups and plates marching in
dusty array around the room on
plate rail. Usually we see only plain
folk, doing the most ordinary things,
and still we like to look at them and
like to read the books that make US
feel as though we were looking.
OF course, it is not at all fair to ac-
cuse Dickens of sneaking around and
peering In at parties and fireside con-
versations, and nobody Is going to be-
lieye that Longfellow spied upon his
neighbors, or that Whittier was caves
dropping when he wrote Snowbound.
or that Burns was watching the cot
ters cottage that Saturday night or
that Riley saw all he has told us
about by looking through his folks
parlor or kitchen windows. But when
we read the thingS these men wrote
we feel as though we ourselves had
been stealing glimpses into other peo-
pies houses.

1t is very true that many of us pre-
fer reading something thrilling, and
fascinating about very fashionable So
ciety, or very Bohemian artists. or
very wild west. or something very
troublesome about problems, or very
sentimental about souls or states Of
mind. These things are SO very diff
ferent from anything that anybody
really knows that they seem to be as
eagerly read as easily written. But
those of US who read these things can
never know the peculiar. satisfied
and comfortable enjoyment that the
books which are like looking into peo-
ple's windows give the rest of US.

one might wait for hours. but NO sign
OF any such creature would appear.
But towards evening they were to be
seen and heard all the time. I think
a hippo must be able to stay for hours
under water, though he may get
breath unseen by putting up the tip
only of his nose under cover Of some
thing.
The natives rarely succeed in kill-
ing them. When they do. 1t il gener-
ally by moonlight, when the hippos
come out OF the water and roam
about on land. The native hunter
conceals himself beside one Of the
well-worn tracks and shoots the poor
animal at a range of about two yards.
1t is lucky that the natives have no
better guns, as in the dry season the
river is 80 shallow in parts that when
they (the hippos) sink one can see
their every movement under water.
Marabout storks and vultures were
in great numbers, and betook them
selves regularly to the river at mid
day.

At the present time Memorial and
