Mysterious Musicians Who Fit From

strange music of the city, too-the
weird chants, the cymbals, fiageolets
and queer strtnged instruments-dee
~ imprcsses the American visitor.
Sometimes at dawn, when roofs and
minarets were dazzlingly white against
the sapphire sky, while yet the laby-
rinthine streets at the bottoms of stuc-
CO canyons lay in twilight gray, strange
men from the desert would stalk by,
making uncanny music.
"One OF them, very tall and blacker
than most, was dressed In a low neck
ed, short sleeved garment, greatly
abbreviated as to skirts, playing melo-
dies in minor mode unknown to the
west, and his stride was full of dig
nifty well nigh appalling
'"The instrument slightly resembled
a Scotch bagpipe decorated with bar
barrie strings of shells and beads, an
inflated skin with primitive mouth
piece and at the opposite end two
pointed projections like horns. His
companion beat upon a curious little
tomtom and now and then sang a
bloodcurdling chant.
BLACK boys followed, jumped, shout
ed, danced like wild creatures, excited
beyond al bounds by this oddly com
pelling music as the rhythm penetrated
and seized their Imagination. Although
these men Of mystery generally passed
about sunrise, they sometimes went
by In the night. Once or twice the
weird performance took place about 2
o'clock In the morning The minstrels
always walked with peculiar swift
ness, intent upon the serious business

OLDEST MAP IN THE WORLD.
Il Proves That Postal Routes Were
Used In Abraham's Time.


Postal routes Of $500 years ago,
when the parcel post and the circulat-
ing library already had been in ex-
istence at least 800 years, are shown
on the worlds Oldest map, a treasure
that was discovered among the Nippur
tablets In the museum of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania by DR.. Stephen
Langdon, the orientalist from Oxford
university. DR.. Langdon considered
the map not only the oldest, but the
best preserved that has come down
from antiquity.
Dating before the time of Abraham,
the map shows comprehensive sur
vey Of the region about the temple Of
Nippur and indicates that the country
was under high state of intensive
cultivation. Canals were numerous and
served both for irrigation and trans
portation. They were the mail routes,
and tag has been found for basket
of books or literary tablets sent from
the library of the Nippur temple to a
town about six miles distant, Shurup-

ton, Noah lived at this town and built

How a Meaning Changes.

'tCheat" is a word that now has
very ugly sound. To cheat man is to
defraud him. Originally the word con-
veysd no such meaning. The old word
''escheat" referred to the dues that fell
to the crown. 1t came from the French
echoir Latin, excadere). The modern
meaning that attaches to the word tells
a sad tale Of the extortion and greed
that must have been practiced in col
lecting the dues.

Lemons Whiten and Beautify the Skin!
 Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re- rlarkabIe lemon skin beautif1er at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and bea autifier-
 Just try it. Make up a quarter pint of this sweet1y fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck arms and hands. It should nat uralIy help to wlliten. soften. freshen. and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful for rough, red hands.
 Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost. and any grocer will supply the lemons.

The music committee which is in charge of the concert to be given on Union square at 7,30 o'clock on Wed
 nesday night assures everyone wbo can be present that they vii be de-
 lighted with both the band concert and the community chorus singing. IL will be matter of pride particularly to the singers of Norwich that the success of this gathering should be quite up to that which the community chorus movement is meeting with all over the country and the support of all church singers and choral society members who can make 1t possible will be of great importance. Song sheets are being printed by the thou sands and Union square should ring with patriotism on this glorious oc- casion. Charles D. Geer, who WEI lead the chorus, requests that singers should assemble on the west side of the square. 1. e.. directly in front of the Central Baptist church, facing the bandstand. MT. Geer looks for a big demonstration on this occasion and is confident that the people of Norwich lack neither the patriotism nor the en- thusiasm to make this a big event.
