KISSING the Black Stone,

As well die Jew or q Christian as
not make the pilgrimage to Mecca, said
Mohammed, and no obligation of Islam
is more piously discharged. 1t is be-
heved that the ritual connected with
the visit to the Ka'aba-the square
building"-and the kissing of the black
stone 60 back to days Of idolatry, the
''time Of ignorance" before the new
faith bloomed
The black stone, which measures
about six inches by eight, is believed to
have fallen from paradise, to have
been guarded during the deluge and
handed to Abraham by Gabriel when
the Ka'aba was built Certain parts of
the ceremonial-the throwing Of stones
at the devil and the imitation of Ha-
gar's distracted wanderings in the des-
ert-are supposed to have had signifi-
canoe for the pre-Mohammedan times
as well as for Islam.-London Chron-
icle.

Furnishing q Sparrow,

It is quite common in early spring
for young and inexperienced sparrows
to steal twigs and other building ma
terial from the nests Of their elders. If
this theft Is detected. as 1t usually is,
posse promptly visits the offenders
nest and scatters it to the four winds,
soundly thrashing the occupant in the
bargain.
A story is told Of a sparrow which
stole the nest Of a martin and was
making himself comfortable In It. The
angry owner summoned all his friends
and Immediately they came, several
hundred strong, but the intruder held
them at bay for some time by pecking
all who came near enough to the open
Ing. Finally the avengers withdrew
and held consultation. In a few mo-
ments they returned, each with q
mouthful Of mud, and proceeded to
plaster ZIP the hole, walling the occu-
pant up alive.-Nebraska Legal News.

Mere Man Wants Little,

heard a man say one time that the
things he looked for in a room were a
comfortable chair, strong writing tn.
BILE and a good light. That does not
seem much for a man to want. But
how many men get it? The girls and
women Of the household decorate and
furnish their rooms to please them
selves, but it is not very often that
very much thought or trouble Is spent
on the mems rooms. One reason that
they don't think more about it is that
as most men have these comforts at
their offices they do not bother to voice
their opinion about what they might
have at home.
Every one who has boarding house
Is rather anxious to rent the rooms to
men, as they are proverbially less trou-
BILE and easier to please than women,
and how much more easily the rooms
might attract men If they should bear
In mind the three things this man said
were essential to his happiness.-Wash.

The EirsIess Cooksr.

The flreless cooker has come to stay.
Its usefulness Is no longer a question,
but fact 1t Is one of the modern con-
veniences and, unlike many of them, II
does not keep running up bills after II
Is installed. Buy it, and the cost is
ended It does not get out Of repair un-
less greatly abused. 1t does save fuel
bills and labor. 1t cooks many things
better than they can be cooked In any
other way.
There are many kinds Of fireless cook
ers on the market. In choosing among
them one may select the kind best
adapted for the particular conditions it
is to meet, and the space in the kitchen
which it is to occupy. OF course a fac
tory made cooker is best, but any one
who cannot afford to buy one will find
it worth while to use home made one
A person with only a little mechanical
skill, by following the directions
which can be procured from the depart
ment Of agriculture at Washington, can
make a cooker that viii fulfill most Of
the needs.-Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

Tired Tropical Trees.

The condition of life in a tropical for
est is sunlight, and to get to the top,
where alone there is sunlight, is the
constant aim of every tree. They have
no winters rest in the tropics, and they
are so hard at work all day long that
at night the trees seem quite tired out.
From dawn to sunset the trees are
hard at work. You can almost see
some Of them growing, and, as may
naturally be supposed, they must have
little rest at night. The tree is thor
oughly exhausted, its branches lose
their stiffness, while the leaves droop
and fold themselves together. Unlike
those Of temperate climates, the trees
Of the tropics all, more or less, show
signs Of exhaustion toward sunset.

Sailors, Slams.

/ Strange signs frequently hang from
ships which puzzle even jewellers in
seaport towns. A basket slung from
the mainmast head Is a sailors sign to
notify that the cargo has been loaded
or discharged, as the case may be, and
that the ship is ready to start on her
next trip.
A generally mysterious emblem is a
broom dashed to a mainmast or bridge
railing. This is to signify that the YES
sci is for sale.
Occasionally dark blue stripe may
be seen running fore and aft on a YES
sci As matter Of fact, this is sign
Of recent bereavement. Blue Is the
sailors mourning, and the stripe Of
this color takes the place Of the black
margin or band used by the landsman
as notification Of death.-Exchange.

The Sundial.

The sundial is an instrument Of great
antiquity, for it is referred to In the
Bible isaiah xxxviii, 81, and 1t has
been estimated that the date Of this
sundial would be about 700 years be-
fore the beginning Of the Christian era.
The first sundial Of which history dis
tinctly tells us is that Of the Chaldean
astronomer Berossus, who probably
lived about 300 B. G.
Then and for many years afterward
the art Of constructing sundials to suit
any place and situation was an impor-
tant branch Of mathematical study.
The sundial as invented by this Be
rossus remained in use for many centu-
ries, four Of these having been found In
Italy in modern times. One which was
discovered at Tivoli In 1746 is believed
by some to have belonged to Cicero.

Millions OF wheat cakes are consumed

The department is urging restau-

Corn cakes have always been popu-
