ALL WENT INTO THE BILL
I Moroccan Ruler Found in the End
That He Paid for His
Hours of Bridge.
How the sultan of Morocco, Mulai
Hafid, played bridge with his dentist
has been amusedly told.
A close friendship sprang up between
the suPtan and an English
dentist, and as often as not, bridge
took the place of dentistry. The
dentist would arrive with his timid
lady assistant, and all his implements
of torture, only to be invited to sit
down at the table and play cards. The
lady-assistant was very young and
very shy, and was more accustomed to
play children's card games than j

found and the ill-assorted party com- '
pleted. The ex-sultan enjoyed himself
immensely. He generally won, per- .
haps by never permitting the trembling
lady assistant to be his partner. The
points were one franc a hundred, so
no very serious damage couid be done;
but rich as the sultan was, he re
joiced more in his humble winnings at !
bridge than over his many thousands
in the banks. Not a little of his en- !
joyment was owing to the fact that he
felt that he was "doing" the dentist j
"He comes," the ex-sultan would say, j
-to mend- my teeth and to take my j
I gold, and in the end I win his francs." j
But one day the climax came. The !
teeth were excellently repaired?the j
- work was of the best?there was no ;
r more to be done but to pay the bill?
and the bill very naturally and rightly
|included all the bridge hours, at so
much per hour. It was the mosf expensive
bridge Mulai Hafid ever
played.
OLD MYSTIC RITE TEMPLE
. . ,
Vestibule Uncovered at Rome Scene of
Historic Event That Was Described
by Tacitus.
A religious discovery, but -of a
pagan kind, was made some time ago
under the railway embankment a few
hundred yards outside the Porta Maggiore,
Borne. Italy. It consists of a"
vestibule elaborately decorated with
mythological subjects, such as Jason
i _- taking the Golden Fleece, the punishment
of Marsyas by Apollo, the story
of the Danaids, the liberation of Aeson
and a troop of Moenads riding on panthers.
It is conjectured that this vestibule
was a place where, in the early
decades of the first century of our
k era, mystic rites were celebrated. In
deed, it is supposed that this was the
f m exact locality of an historical event,
I described by Tacitus In the twelfth
book of his "Annals" as having happened
in 53 A. D., during the reign
f.; of Claudius. The historian relates
rhow Agrippina, mother of the future
Emperor Nero, coveted the gardens of
T. Statill us Taurus, who had been
. consul a few years earlier and governor
of Africa, and how she improvised
ar accusation against him
through a certain Tarquitius Priscus
o< practicing Illegal mystic rites.
Statilius Taurus anticipated his trial
and now, nearly 19 centuries later
. an accidental landslip on the rallwaj
has led to the elucidation of this for
flOtten episode of Roman history.

Mongolians Great Meat Eaters.
, 'Inhabitants of Mongolia are great
meat eaters, living In some cases en
tirely on mutton. It is not uncommon
for. a Mongol to consume ten pounds
, of this meat at one sitting. He also
compares other foods by asking if
they are as good as mutton. The Mongol
puts mutton fat in his tea, which
* is prepared with milk from the poor*
est grade of tea, pressed into bricks.
He drinks enormous quantities of this,
80 cups a day being no uncommon
amount for an adult The natives eat
whenever opportunity comes, there
1' being no regular meal hours.
Water is scarce in Mongolia, a
few wells along the caravan route
p furnishing the entire supply. During
the winter and spring the camel is
the only animal that can cross the
desert and subsist on the driedup
grasses. At this season of the year
blocks of ice are carried for water
supply, and in other seasons two large
tubs are carried on each camel, one
tub on each side.
Chinese Towns Thrown Together.
One can never speak correctly of a
Chinese village or town or even of a
city as having been 'laid out." It is a
mere jumble of habitations. It has
H streets, so-called, usually a network of
^^B them. But no two of the streets run
^^F parallel, except this occurs by accl|K
dent; and no one of them is straight
Sometimes in a village a quarter to a
third of a mile long there will not be
HB a single cross-road or street whereby
j^^F a vehicle can get from the front to the
8^ rear of the village. Outside the treaty
W ports and a few of the larger towns,
B the paths?they are little more?are
too narrow for even the passage of
the ricksha.

L Is a traveling man, and tries to count
the days until the two or three weeks'
B trip has been made, and a few hours

B recently he received a card from fat
ther explaining it would be a few
B days longer before he came home.
B Shortly after receipt of the card he
W was heard talking to his baby brothj

him holding the card over the
