lrishman Turns to Mahomct.

An Irishman who worships at the
shrine Of Mahomet, prophet of Altar,
and who prays with his face turned
toward holy Mecca-such is Baron
Charley Mark Allanson Winn Headley
The venerable Irish lord is recent
convert to the faith of Islam, the an
nouncement that he had embraced Mo-
hammedanism having been made at a
ciety Of Great Britain. Many Eng
lishmen have become disciples of Ma
homet within the last few years, but
Hibernian Moslems are almost as rare
as the proverbial hens teeth.
Lord Headley comes Of a distin-
guished ancestry, the baronetcy dat
ing from 1860 and the baronial title
from 1897. He is the fourth baron,
and succeeded his father in the title
and estates in 1877. He married a
daughter of an Anglican clergyman.
Baron HeadIey has been a represen-
tative peer for Ireland for 80 years,
and has also had a distinguished mill
tary career. AS an attache he went
through the Franco-G German and Carl
list wars. He has a handsome town
house in London and owns about 1885,
900 acres in Ireland. including Agha-
doe house in Killarney and Illaunagiu-
mini in County Galway.

DON'T LIVE THE PART
WHY AUTHORS AND ARTISTS
FAIL TO MAKE GOOD LOVERS.
Seem Unable to Detach Themselves
From the Creatures of Their Fancy
Long Enough to Appreciate
the Real Thing.
One might suppose that the writer's

One might suppose that the writer's
authors and poets-who have i'm
mortaliZed women's charms from ths
beginning. of time would provide the
ideal lover but in actual fact it is
often their interest in women in the
abstract which spoils them for the one
woman. To her they may appear
more engaged in the expression OF
life than in life itself, and she feels
in their company that she runs the
risk Ca very genuine one) that the
tenderest emotions will be used as
copy
Even to be the heroine of a book
has disadvantages nowadays, since
heroines are generally faulty crca-
lures and the author is so engrossed
by the study of human nature that his
love herself may fancy she is under
the dissecting knife.
Then the writer OF imagination ljy-
ing with the crea lures of his fancy.
is necessarily somewhat detached
from the outside world Il feel terri
bly, jealous of my husbands heroines, "
said the wife of a well-known author.
Il am sure he is as fond Of them as
he is OF me- Often the creator Of a
world of his own is rather ineffective
in the actual world
He seems in such hurry to get
away from the latter and resembles
the woman who shas cooked the feast
and, i'll consequence. has no appetite
for it. Life with him is apt to be
tame, because his dreams have de-
stroyed his interest in realities, and
there seems almost lack Of SINGER
ity about his human relations.
The artist, with his eye trained to
notice and analyze external loneliness
Of form and feature, has similar faults
and some special ones of his own.
For instance, though a woman likes a
man who notices her dress, she pre-
fers him to be appreciative rather
than critical She is apt to be an
noyed by a meticulous attention to
trivialities i'll the house and IN her
own appearance, which she imaglnes
part of her province, and unless she
has the artists point Of view, with its
hatred of conformity, she is more
bothered than fattered.
A girl engaged to an artist said,
with a sigh Before he kisses me,
Fred looks to see if my draperies
hang in classic folds. He can't bear
modern fashions, and | do feel such
an object when I try TO please him.
To be beautiful in picture is not
nearly so gratifying to the pride az
to be well dressed in drawing
room"
Both artists and authors have. prob
ably, too much of the feminine in
them to be ideal lovers, and are often
subject to moods and nerves, account

Wild and Tame.

An American professor recently
made a list of II common weeds
which in his judgment ought to be
cultivated for food This was mere
off-hand jotting down of facts which
occurred to him, not study Of the
subject, but it shows that man has
not made very extensive use Of the
opportunities which nature affords
him.
The learned professor might have
included the animal world as well.
Why was not the American bison or
buffalo domesticated by Indians?
Why, when he has proved his value in
many parts of the west. is he not
bred in larger numbers now? Why
was the African elephant left wild
while the Indian brother was trained
to harness and war;
Why is the pheasant still half wild
and the grouse wholly SO. when they
have at least as many possibilities OF
usefulness as the ancestors Of domes
tic fowls? The quagga of South Al
RIGA is larger as well as handsomer
than the wild ass Of western Asia.
Why was one taken for service and
the other left?

SHANGHAI and Salt Fish.

The city OF Shanghai imported last
year about 100000 yen worth of salt
fish. The import OF salt Ash dates
three years back, and began with the
Introduction of salt salmon from Prim-
erskaya (tussian littoral province),
salt cod from Kwangtung leased terri
tory, and salt sardines from Nagasalti.
says the Manchurlan Daily News. IN
addition TO salt eca tie leased terri
tory exported 5000 yen worth Of
swordtish last year. This fish, which
owes its name to its likeness TO
sword in shape as well as in its glis-
tening, scaleless body, is found in
great abundance in these coast wa
ters. The local quality is better suited
to the Chinese palate than imports
from Ningpo and ports on the North
China coasts. and has a promising fu-
ture on the Shanghai market. In fact,
the Chinese are heavy consumers OF
this fish, the total annual import TO
Shanghai reaching 100000 piculs

New York and Liverpool, that a spec
ter appeared With such persistency
that for a long time, until the vision
vanished forever, no member of the
crew ever consented to make second
voyage. The Nottebohm was one OF
the Old Liverpool packet ships which
carried steerage passengers as well
as freight. During one OF her pre-
vious voyages the captain and several
OF her crew had had terrific strug7
gle, in the course OF which the cap
tain had been so injured that he had
died as result OF his wounds. No
matter what the skeptical might say,
crew after crew which shipped on the
Marianne Nottebohm after this trag
edy left the vessel at the end OF the
voyage swearing that every night
spectral figure appeared from the
pilot house and wandered over the
vessel, seeking everywhere apparent
~ for something or somebody.
There was terrific storm one
night and the apparition was for once
ia way pretty we'll forgotten In the
more pressing perils or the moment.
The night was very black and no one
felt any too secure az they slipped
on through the darkness. Suddenly,
they felt the ship come about so
swiftly that they knew something
strange must have happened.
Unusual as it was, said Capt F.
C. Norton, who tells the story, we
could not stop to find out about 1t
that night; for every man was too
hot on his own part OF the work 20
pay much attention to any others.
After everything was all over and
We could take time to talk about it
the next day the helmsman told US
that spectral figure he had at first
thought to be the captain had stood
beside him, showing him how to lay
his course. 1t was not until the
helmsman had handled a charm his
daughter had given him that he dis
covered his visitor was spirit. The
power OF the wrath was broken at
that and the helmsman put about just
in time to avoid an uncharted reef
the spectre had evidently been guild
ing him onto.
But the Swedo and his Italian
mate must have seen something Of
the vision that night, also, for In the
morning they looked like dying men
and they could not be persuaded to
ship again for the next voyage Aft
erward We heard that they had been
members OF the crew which attacked
the former captain OF the Marianne.
No doubt the murdered captain came
sailants and when he found them
sought to drive the vessel on the
reef"

Put the Goaikeeper First.

The score stood Ramblers, J.; Row
ers, 0: and it seemed that another
goal was about to be scored for the
visitors. 1t was good shot but, by
a strenuous effort Tammas, the goal
keeper, might have saved it by jump.
He seemed about to do this when,
out of the corner of his eye, he saw
Samson, the gigantic forward Of the
Ramblers, famous for bis rushes, com
ing towards him with more speed
than grace, and Tammas therefore
gathered himself into as small a
space as possible and let the bali
take its chance.
Naturally, he was called pusillan
imous outsider and other things by
his own side; but his point of view
put the matter in a different light.
"Weel," he said. Il dinna ken
what you think. but | thocht it was
better for the club tae lose the goal
than tae lose the goalkeeper!"
