tlouuira. It whs a Massachusetts boy, I believe, who
aid be "preferred fast to Thonkgiving, be
catiA after Thanksgiving you had to liro on
picking, but there wa always a good,
square inal to make up for the fast." Mo
hammedanism agrees with the. boy from
Massachusetts. It believed in compensation.
lUimalan is the yearly mouth of fasting
daytimes, but from sunset to sunrise the
Moslem may feast on what be pleases. llama
dan follows the lunar division of the months
and falls about ten days earlier every year,
so that the number of hours in the twenty
four when tho jeople must fast varies ac
cording as the sacred month comes in sum
mer or in winter. After the fast there are
three days of feasting, when tho Moslems,
decked out in their bett, indulge in all sorts
' of amusement.
Tho other day I thought that I would pass
through a certain Moslem district about sun
set. Expectancy reigned. In the cafes, in
the shops, in tho street, every one was wait
ing for something, was preparing for some
thing. Wearied looking men hurried along
with frefch loaves of bread in their hand.
An old Moslem with long robe and white
beard passed mo carrying a narghili all pre
pared for use. (small boys bore along little
plates of salad, which caino from an impro
vised 6hop at a corner, where a lank man in
blue sat on a stool turning out salads as fast
as bo could to meet tho increasing demand as
tho sun nearod the horizon. A butcher was
cutting off junks of meat. Turbaued Mos
lems, in bright clothing, Iwrgained for vege
tables with the palo shop keeper, who sat be
hind a lot of trays of wickerwork, covered
with tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, summer
squashes, apricots, etc. A nonchalant young
man adorned a wooden booth in tho street
with plates and bowls of starchy looking sub
stances like jellies, covered with nuts. Num
lM of men and boys stood idly waiting.
Every one seemed tired and languid. There
was no loud talking.
"Boom," roared the cannon from the bar
rack A dozen matches were struck, a
dozen cigarettes lighted, and a cloud of blue
smoke arose. Bmoking even before eating
or drinking! The change was like that
effected by the kiss of the fairy prince. At
tho sound of the gun everything in the line
of eating and drinking and smoking went
quietly on as if it never had stopped. Some
hail a hearty meal in several dishes all ready
before them, and fell to at once, in a business
liko way. Tho "hop keepers broke their fast
with what they were boiling. The fruit
dealer swallowed an apricot, and evidently
enjoyed it. A seller of sweets took up a most
Indigestible looking piece of confectionery,
anil bourishi-d himself with that. Oh! tho joy
of one old fellow, who poured a tiny Etrenrn
of water down his throat from a jug held
high over his bead, in the eastern fashion.
The favorite dish seemed to bo made of
pounded pulse, garnished with a bit sf green
and covered with oil.
Very little sleep Is taken in Ramadan ex

or three hours after midnight. Last week
some famous wrestlers performed in a cafe
near tho government building. Our guide

Tt xk us to 4'heai some music" in another part
oftheeitv. I was curious to Bee what the
concert hall might b. We were taken to" an
Open place where several roads meet. At one
corner was a mosque with a brilliantly
lighted minaret, at another a couple of oafes,
at a third a largo building with a small door
and no windows, showing that it was a pub
lic oven. It was at this door I bad seen th
most ludicrous as well as the saddest figure
in Ramadan, I was passing by one day when
there suddenly emerged from he oven a tall,
pole laker in a long robe of blue linen. Be
hind him, as he stood leaping against the
door pott, was the bakery with its gleaming
furnace and fragrant piles of new bread,
crisp and tempting. His white, hungry face
expressed a despair which seemed unable to
stand for a moment longer the bight of food
which he must not touch. The irony of the
situation was too much for hioj.
i A large crowd bad assembled to hear tho
music, but tho people were cither silent or
else spoke only in whispers. All at once the
6weet, shrill notes of a boy's soprano floated
down from behind the three tiers of lights in
tho lofty minaret, Tho voico was of extraor
dinary flexibility, and executed roulades,
turns and cadenzas with a skill that brought
forth ''Ahs and ?'QbV of quiet satisfaction
from tho widely scattered hearers far below.'
It was a unique concert. I could think pf
nothing but larfc3 Mi the Wiltshito dowas.
Presently another boy began to ting alone,
then a third, and the first began again, and
they joined in a soaring trio, full of curious
Oriental transitions. It seemed monotonous,
but then tho Orientals call our music mono
tonous, and who i3 right 1 Is there not per
haps some idea underlying the eastern rousia
-which we have not yet caught ?
f.'How many pf these' people really fast?"
h a'question I have lately put with a variety
pf answers. As such answers are apt to be
largely subjective, it is hard for a stranger
to get a correct estimate. A conscientious
Moslem will be apt to conclude that the ma
jority are conscientious. The man who eatJ
secretly will probably suspect that his pri
vate transgressions are common to many
others. Only the crazy fast," was one
answer I got. I fancy that the truth of the
matter is that Mohammedanism, like all
other religions, has a mixed band of follow
ed with a varied correspondence between
their preaching and their practice. Beirut

THE DANGEROUS WASHERWOMAN.
flow Dlseasa Crnu Are Distributed A
Timely Hint to City People.
To the average American housekeeper the
weekly wash day is a constantly recurring
trial of patience. Every domestic arrange
ment must give way to it. Of courso in those
families where several servants are employed
and there are conveniences for laundry jnir
pobes the day is one of less hardship. The
great majority of the middle classes, how
ever, are forced to be content with one ser
vant girl, who is generally assisted by a
washerwoman. That humble and very use
ful individual deserves greater consideration
than is usually given her. Where she comes
from is, as a general thing, u matter of ab
solute indifference to tho housekeeper, as long
as her charges are as low as ossiblc. That
sho is very poor all know, for no one would
"do washing" unless in needy circumstances.
Very probably she lives in a cheap tenement
or in the cellar of some rookery in tho slums
of tho city. Now. it is these very places
which are tho hotbeds of contagious and in
fectious diseases, and consequently tho center
of distribution of disease germs.
An instance of tho truth of this statement
will be given, ono which will also show how
such diseases may bo attributed to the wrong
source. At the south end, on Swett street,
there is a row of ramshackle houses, called by
the neighbors "Buttermilk block." The in
habitants are mostly ragpickers, who ply
their vocation on the neighboring "dump,"
where the ashes and refuse collocted by tho
city wagons are deposited. Tho health au
thorities have condemned the block time and
time again as uufA to live in. Somehow or
other, however, it is still occupied. Some
four years ago a family living on West New
ton street regularly employed a washer
woman who lived in this Buttermilk block.
The eldest daughter was first attacked with
typhoid fever and died. Then the second
daughter had it and dieL The father also
fell a victim to the fever, but fortunately re
covered. The physician in attendance as
cribed the trouble to defective drainage, and,
although the work had been done by a com
petent plumber, all the piping in tho house
was torn out and replaced at an expense of
several hundred dollars.
In tho worry incident to the sickness in tho
house, the fact that the washerwoman had
stopped coming every week, as was her wont,
was not noticed ; some months later it was
learned that she had died of typhoid, fever.
Further inquiries developed the fact that
while she was washing for the unfortunate
family there were three cases of fever in the
house where she lived, and two of thein
proved f ataL Now there is no doubt but that
she was in the early stage of the disease when
she caino to her employer's house for the lost
timo, and that she left there the germs from
which sprung tho fever that cost two lives in
his family. This is but one instance of tho
danger which is incurred by hiring washer
women indiscriminately, it is safe to say
that if the housekeeper in question had gor,
to the place where the woman lived, and had
seen the fdth and squalor with which she was
surrounded, she would not have emploj'ed
her. All these possibilities of danger are
calmly overlooked by tho majority who
patroize these people,' and still, "by 'paying
them starvation wages for ' their vyork," they
compel them to live iii wretched places, and
so, almost from necessity, become tho bear
ers of disease, fuo whole thing is wr-onar.
For very little mcifi than is paid to, the wash
erwoman the heavy family washing can ho
dene at a etearn Jauudry, and only the smal er
and delicate pieows need b washed and
ironed in the house. Boston Herald.
Substances Tor Making Ink.
Common writing ink is the pertannato of

The great merit of our common writing ink
is in tho freedom with which it from
the pen, allowing of rapid writing, and the
manner in which it bites Into the paper, so
as not to be removed by sponging. The great
def jet is in tho want of durability. Such
iuk3 partake of the nature of dyes. The
writing ink of the ancients, on the contrary,
is charactoriaod by great permanency; its
basis was finely divided charcoal'mixed with
some mucilaginous or adhesive fluid. Indian

Benefits of "Hair Singeing."
A wrinkle in hair dressing not generally
known is "hair singeing." In a barber ?hpp
on Center street, close to the City Loll
bridge, is a sign, prominently displayed, an
nouncing that hair singeing is done there for
twenty-five cents. A reporter dropped into
a chair in the shop this morning and found it
no difficult matter o engage the tonsorial
artist in conversation.
"Hair singeingr he said. "Why that's uot

BUSINESS SUCCESS.
THE ELEMENT OF CHANCE THAT
SETS FOR OR AGAINST MEN.
An Example of How Lurk Max Change.
A. T. Stewart's Attention to Details.
Conld's Method Commodore Tander
bllt and Ills Traftte Manager.
Some of the shrewdest merchants in this
town will tell you that there is assuredly an
element of chance which sets for or against
men in business affairs. One of the richest
men in this country before his death told the
most fascinating of tales regarding the play
of chance in his experience. This was tho
late Senator Miller, of California. He was u
man of suerior business qualification, of
pretty shrewd judgment, and far sighted, yet
when he came out cf tho army everything
that he turned his hand to failed, and as a
means of supKrt he was obliged to seek a
government ofllee, and he was rejoiced when
(irant gave him tho custom house at Sail
Francisco. In thut ollieo Senator Miller
hoped to be able to save enough in the courso
of u few years to put him on his feet again,
but ho found that ho wus sliding backward.
He could not see how or why, and he was
firmly impressed with the belief that he was
born under aa unlucky star.
See now how hick changes, and how its
chance may shift about liko a weathercock.
One day there came into Mr. Miller's office a
briny tar, with the smell of whale oil on his
elothea and tho roll of a sea dog in his legs,
lie laid on the collector's desk a bit of fur,
and ho said that he had captied that skiu
himself and knew whero there were millions
more. Ho had a gentle proposition to make,
that the collector should charter and victual
a sLp und "go snooks" with him in the
profit that ho thought would bo obtained
from selling these skins. Ho would not tell
in what part of the sea h.o found the animals,
and his proposition was ubout us unbusiness
like and hare brained as any that Mr. Miller
had ever listened to. His business instinct
told him to dismiss the man, but as ho rubbed
his hand on the fur, which was smoother than
the best silk velvet, it occurred to him to
make tho venture. He interested some pf his
friends in tho schemo and they sent the cap
tain, with great doubt tmi to their sanity in
so doing, oh into tho mystery of tho Polar
sea, and thus tho great Alaska Seal Fur com
pany was organized, and tho shuttlecock of
Miller's fortune shifted from the keen east
wind of disappointment to tho bracing west
erly winds of magnificent prosperity.
The curious thing about it was that from
that day Miller never mado a business in
vestment that was not profitable, although
to many of those which ho did make ho did
not bestow one-half the attention and cau
tion which he had previously jiyf-n to others
that were rmfisvlujiale. Senator 'Jones, of
Nevada, is another of those whoso experience
leads bim to believe in tho doctrine of chance
as an element of business men's success or
misfortune. Into tho great Huil.sc iivcr
tunnel, into his h.atcJ properties', into his
Washington investments, in fact into cver''
thing east of the "Rocky Mountains which
tho senator has " put his money, fato set
against him, and ho has scf.ii millions,
melt away hke ioiulei ii the stmlightl But
in a chance, investment 'which ho almost
thoughtlessly luade in mining proiierties in
the British" poissos.sioji5 and in Alaska, as well
as. soino npp.'tivutly worthless stock in Ne
vada mining property which a few years ago
he would have 6een burned up without a
sigh, chance has brought him a new fortune.
The man who prescribes uuto himself ftn,y

any man, will bo yeiy likely to 'meet 'with, a

That is also In somb respects Mr. Gould's

in which ' Mr. Gould's property was s
seriously imperiled, ho was vl;od why ho
seemed to rest so pasuy. Said he: "Wo em

cobra in his right hand for the purpose

his left forefinger to where senna watch
glasses lay, he brought the part close tq
the arnoaal'a head. The snake made a
sudden dart, and fastened its fangs just
below 'the second joint. Retaining hii
presence of mind, Dr, Richards tore the
reptile away and killed it. A tight liga
ture was at once placed on the proximal
aspect of the wounds, which were sucked,
enlarged by knife, allowed to bleed freely t
and thoroughly mopped with a 5 per
cent, solution of permanganate of potash
an India rubber cord was bound around
the wrist. A medical friend subsequently
further enlarged the wounds, and applied

were cautiously removed after a-time.
