Since the Mohammedan year ls com posed of lunar months, the beginning of the fast is dependent upon the ap pearance of tho new moon. The word of the almanac ls not taken as true evidence, and before the mufti, the highest Moslem ol li cia l in the nation, declares the fast to hnve begun two Mohammedans must appear before him and swear that they have seen tho new moon. In precisely the same manner the fact comes to n close. Tho '. mufti proclaims a throe days' feast whenever the next new moon ls aeon by I wo of the faithful. One year tho moon was visible hi upper Rgypl the night before ii was observed in Cairo. Two Mohammedans up the N'llc tele graphed the tact to tho mufti, asking hi'M io an non nee tho feast. This ho refused io do bu the ground HUH a telegram could hoi take I he place of two Moslem witnesses. -Christian Her ald. OUI Daddy Lon?tl?go.
