Strange Corners in the City of Zion

mission schools and converts had cobblers
of their own, who had been taught the way
Of Europe in such matters.
Round the corner to the left, below the
Abysslnlan convent were the sweets shops.
Great was our delight when at the New
Year every boy in the school received a
cake enriched with clarified butter and
sweetened with honey and sugar. But
Halaweh sweetstuff made of sesame meal
and honey, was our perennial JOY.
All along behind the Mauristan run three
streets parallel to one another appropriated
by the butchers, the spcers and the dyers,
respectively. In the butchers street, the
dealers, all Moslems, sold nothing but NUT
ton and goats flesh. AS the streets are
arched over, semi-darkness reigned, and
often we have tumbied over fat and lazy
dogs which were attached to almost every
meat shop These dogs not only kept good
watch at night, but also kept the greasy
street in tolerable condition by licking I'D
the blood and eating bones. But for the
presence of the spiccrs' street at hand the
shoemakers' street, with its old skins; the
butchers street, with all it's offal, and the
dyers' street, with blue colored stuffs hang
ing from roof to roof, would have made the
whole region smell as foul as the town
slaughter yard. Once or twice a week we
were sent to fetch meat needed for the
kitchen our donkey. The butchers
street, l forgot to say, hardly measured
three yards across, but with the carcasses
hanging out before the shops there was
hardly room in the butchers street for

resembled it in this respect. and there the
merchants hung such things as cords, nets
and glrdles out into the street, and often
sat In front of their shops. Our passage
caused amusement to the passersby. Our
donkey's saddlebags, stuffed out with pur-
chases, drew along with them outhangng
articles or meat. which in the return swing
struck against one another To avoid un-
pleasantness, we asked the price of the
goods thus disturbed, whereupon the mer-
chants, hoping for our custom, smiled upon
us and extolled their wares as quite the
best and cheapest in the market, and they
tried to detain the donkey. "Dahrak!"
"WIhak!" we would cry out, warningly. to
let the public know a beast of burden was

There was time of breathless, incredulous

millions who had heard the good tidings OF
great JOY. Then, with that amazing spon-

tons of joy began. There was nothing
ordered, nothing formal. The voice Of the
church bells and the measured thunder
OF the cannon alone were under command.

and for how long the influence of former
rule has disappeared. On the other hand.
