Baodad's "Corpse Shlp."

Nothing in the land of strange things strikes the European visitor so strangely as the "corpse ship" in Bagdad It Is huge barge piled high with native corpses, many of them several years old, which are be- ing carried down the river to rest in cemetery near the whitened bones of the prophet.
 The bodies are piled on deck, packed in straw cases, on top of which the Arab attendants sit nonchalant1y and play q native game resembling dom inoes. Some of the corpses are com paratively new, others old. It all de bends on how long 1t took the family of the deceased to save enough money to pay the cost of transportation.

The old fellows write the poe try that Is hollow and bogus-the ma chne-made stuff, the prose in rhyme, the feeble and tortured balderdash. the epics. They are the ghosts of poets that have died.-Exehange.
