Fatted Calf Is a Sheep.

Syria is probably the only country
wherein the fatted calf is still-meta-
phorically speaking-killed. 1t comes
about in this way: Each family Sc
lects from its flock particularly fine
sheep, has it sheared and brought into
the house at the beginning of winter.
1t is washed and most carefully kept
While being fattened with selected
food. SO overfed is the animal that
the owner helps it work its tired jaws
during mastication in order to com
plete the fattening process. When
some distinguished visitor arrives, or
some great event transpires, the sheep
is killed. As the Syrian people eat
only fresh-killed meat, never refrige-
rated meat, the entire animal must at
once be disposed of-cOoked-so it
can be stored for future consumption.

Antonio Stradivam was born in 1914,
and died in 1887, ninety-three years of
age. His early violin was made like

In 1910 he first began to sign his own
instruments with his own name. Dur
ing the following 20 years he only made
few. The year 1890 was one of tran

served the tradition of the AmatiS

are commonly called Stradivarius Am

prominent street is made of the tops,
bottoms and sides of packing boxes
that contained cans of condensed
milk; two doors further on is fence
made of old barrel slaves and packing
box strips for fencing Is by no means
uncommon.
Tin cans, with the solder melted off
and the tops and bottoms removed, are
fattened out and used as shingles, in
mending fences, patching holes and
for numerous other purposes.
The five-gallon Oil cans, however. are
priced and cherished family posses
sions. These cans have a regular mar
ket value of ID to 20 cents gold. 1t is
no unusual occurrence for a woman TO
buy a five-gallon can of kerosene, hoist
it to her head and tramp all day ped
ding the oil in small quantities-at
cost, if she can do no better-just for
the sake of obtaining the tin.
These receptacles are used for carry
ing water, boiling clothes and storing
and cooking food.

come have value of 10 cents gold
and are a standard measure, known 10
