to our Christmas. On that day every
good Moslem kills a lamb. its fleece
dyed a bright orange with gold or sill
yer leaf. says the Christian Science
Monitor
When the lamb has been sacrificed
on the morning of the festival, its
flesh is divided into three portions. one
being given to the poor, another to rel
atives. the third being kept for the
household. On that day the sultan
goes to the mosque which is nearest

of buildings which go to make up the
imperial residence-thousands collect

round of the seasons. But through
the winter days. from sunrise to sun
set, the pious Mohammedan does not
take a bit of food or sup of drink /;
he also abstains entirely from coffee,
tobacco and sweets. But the moment
the echoes Of the sunset gun have
died he is at liberty to break his fast.

Taxation of the Citizens.

The city council of Reykjavik, Ice

bread in special bakery in connec-
ton with the gas works. where mod
ern machinery has been installed In
a special building. The result was ex-

the gas works is being used in prac-
ticable and profitable manner. and in
the course of short time all the
black bread which may be needed
will be baked in the new bread fac
tory.
The idea was that of young stu

and money. Three-pound lOaves have
been completely baked in three hours

peasant. There was reward OF
10000 for the capture of the fugitive.

dates back to the ancient days of

the house had passed bill granting
the postal workers a bonus of $3.50
instead of acting favorably on the pc

crease of $500 per year, indignation
was freely expressed. A delegation
was appointed and instructed to go to
the capital and protest against the
action of the house and insist on
hearing before the post office commit
tee.
The convention had previously ia
vored a fiat so per cent increase in
salaries for postal employees with time
and half for overtime, a 44-hour
week and 80 days leave. AS a result
of the action of the house threats were
freely made by the delegates that
large number of the postal employees
would resign and seek other employ
ment.
President Gompers spoke before the
convention and warned the delegates
that certain interests were working in
concert to crush organized labor in
this country He informed the dele

proceed with the greatest caution
when that was under consideration.
