MosIems Adopt Christian Ideas

While Mohammedan fanaticism still
makes a visit to the holy shrines of
the Moslem faith dangerous to Chris
tians, 1t is curious to find that the
statistical Investigations of the GiaourH
are being initiated by the Mohamme-
dan authorities. The sanitary admin
istration of the Ottoman empire has
lately issued statistical statement
about the pilgrimages to Mecca. In
one recent year SS.995 pilgrims came
to Mecca by sea alone. The largest
number of these came from India, and
few came from as far as Japan.

In Utah they have erected a monu-
ment to the sea gulls that ate the
grasshoppers in 184s when the crops
were threatened with destruction by
these pests.
But the birds. If they could talk to
man, would not ask that shafts Of
stone be raised to their good works
They would ask only that their nests
and their young be not destroyed, and
that, instead of being killed, they be
left free to do their part against the
many enemies that beset the farmers

Watch GROWING chlIdren.

I noticed in one of the magazines
the other day a strong and sensible
plea to mothers to pay more atten-
ton to the physical peculiarities Of
growing children. For instance, a
child ought to be shown the impor-
lance Of breathing through the nose
instead Of the mouth. Breathing
through the mouth is not only I'M
healthful but it spoils the appearance
Of the face. The child ought to be
natural in conduct. Grimaces are
something that mothers should dis
courage. There are also many bad
habits in sitting, standing and walking
which the fond mother can correct by
a little watchfulness.

state and was aware that his pockets
were being rifled but was unable to
offer resistance. The two men took

themselves to parts as yet very much

James Swanson of this city, who re-
turned yesterday from Williston, N.

was an eye witness to a portion Of the
proceedings incident to tho recent

DIR. Swanson was attracted to the
Gene by loud noises. and he had ap-
preached within 200 feet Of the jail
when he found himself confronted by
three masked men. who, pointing re-
volvers at him. ordered him to depart
from the scene. Swanson made de-

from which he viewed the Work of

guard. When Warner failed to
come out. the door was opened and
the room found empty. The prisoner
had raised the. window and climbed
through. escaping in the dark. when
the train was going about thirty miles
per hour. The surrounding country
was thoroughly searched but no traces
of the daring youth were found. He
seemed to vanish completely.

search. however, and after several

from one border to the other, and

by the sheriff of Thurston county and
held for Bishops arrival. Warner
was. then brought under close sur

than is generally supposed, but in
smaller quantities than a carload.
With q warehouse such as is being
