A missionary who has lived among them for years declares that they are very quarrelsome, much given to honsilng of their Turkestan origin, and, iu spite of the prophet's injunctions drink u great deal of wine. This Is usually the ease with Chinese Mohammedans. In Ilinganfu, and more especially In Kansub, a few of their spiritual teachers keep up their knowledge of Arabic and arc occasionally visited by Arab or central Asian mullahs, who follow the old Arab trade route l:y way of Ilami, by which the Arabs originally traded and propagated ihelr faith. These mollahs visit every country In the east where the followers of the prophet are to be fouud und keep up (he lies of the faithful with Islam. As they often stir up dissatisfaction and foment disturbances against the Chinese authorities, the latter regard them with suspicion. How fwnllows Drl'.'k. Of course we know thai swallows drink as tliey skim over the surface of water. We have seen how here and there the water ripples on a pond when swallows are gracefully skimming to and fro. One day 1 sat down beside a small pond where every evenin.'? many barn swallows came to bathe and drink on the surface of the glassy water. With sketch book and pencil in hand I closely watched the birds, and you may Imagine my delight t > see just how they uinnuged to touch an 1 dip up the water as they came within a few steps of me. You see, the swallow takes up water In 11h lower bill Just as you would dip up a little water in a spoon or In the hollow of your hand while you glided over the rurface in a boat. Only the under half of the open bill touches the water. If the upper half were also to touch, the water would be forced out on either side Instead of being scooped up Into the bill. ?St. Nicholas. A Lnkc That Stores Unit. There is a lake that stores the sun's heat at Medeve, in northeastern Transylvania. Thick beds of rock salt j underlie the district, and a similar for million appears upon iiih mirmiT in mounds, some of tliem over UX) feet ill height. Among these the lake rests at fully l.iitXi feet above sen level. Upon the surface Its water Is almost sweet, four Inches l>elow there is a twentieth of salt, at two feet there Is one-fifth, ami at five feet the water is practically saturated with salt. In Septeinlier, nfter a summer's sunshine, the thermometer showed the lake's wnters to be 130 degrees four feet down. Even by April, after a whole p season of wintry weather, It had only been reduced to 80 degrees. Kxperld. incuts have proved that this Is due to absorption and retention of the sun's t heat by the salt saturated solution, Grace Ivnlven. There is a curious class of knives of the sixteenth century the blades of which have engraved 011 one side the musical notes to the benediction of the table, or grace before ment, and on the other the grace after meat. These Kniven iisuauy weni in sets or rour, representing ft four part Jiannony of bass, tenor, alto and treble, They ^vere kept in nn upright case of stamped leather anil wore placed before the , singers according to the adaptation of each due to his particular part. As 1 may he supposed, the inscription -was usually In Latin. The following specimen is taken from actual kulres of the period: "Fro tills beneflciis Pens, gratias aglinus tlbi" (For thy good gifts, O God, we thank thee). ' Marcn and Kllllen. f A song of bygone generation re* preached the French with calling their i* mothers "mares" and all their daughf ters "Allies," and it Is easy to Imagine that "Ally" is connected with "Alle." As a matter of fact, the word "Ally" is of Scandinavian origin anil Is really a diminutive of "foal." Shakesiieare makes Fuck disguise himself In "likeness of a Ally foal." "Mare" is the t Anglo-Saxou "mere," feminine of "inearli," a horse, a trace of which remains In "marshal," which properly r signllies master of the horse. The Mont Accurate Frontier. As an Instance of the Icnloiisv exist ing in the relations between Norway ami Sweden It may be noted that the boundary line between the two countries Is the most minutely exact in Europe. In every parish touched by the line there is deposited an elaborate plan which is renewed every ten years, the wholo of the work of surveying. etc., being carefully repented each time.?Pearson's Magazine. , Qualities and the Sexes.

There is no combination that will bring such unalloyed joy us for u lnzy niau to inherit money. The board of health is hardly tho board you get at certain boarding houses you may have met. A child that can get tilings by crying is apt to develop strong lungs. The best way to keep young is not to grow old. It Is great sport to sec a man making u fool of himself if he doesn't happen to l?e your husband. Occasionally you find a New Year's resolution that lias lasted up to the present time, but it is mighty lonely. A An eccentric man is a crank wlia has money. After promising to obey nt the marriage altar a woman often gets even by making the man do all of the minding. The man who knows when to cut it short knows a whole lot. A man may he a German diplomat and yet have a line Italian hand. Picnic Luck. I wonilor why the festive shower The picnic searches out To jnur the merrymaking hour And put good times to rout.

To boo ft fat fiian climbing a barb wire fence is n Bight long \q fyp T^' niembored. After looking up and down to see If there Is not some place whore he can crawl under or go around, he carefully selects the stoutest post, steps gingerly on the lower wire and climbs slowly to the top, holding up his coat tails so they wjjl pot snag on a barb. At last ije renclies the top and triumphantly, though with much pulling, gets one foot over the highest wire and begins to descend. But contideneo hag made him overbold, and in bringing the other foot over, the one that is planted 011 the wire slips, and, after bouncing up and down a time or two on tho wires, he houuds to the ground, luckily on tho side tlmt he was trying to inake. As he limps slowly away, saying words that do not rhyme with "fudge," be realizes that since barb wire is one of the modern weapons of warfare war is all that Sherman said. .[wanted! i i | Excelsior Knitting | !
