Always picturesque, Cairo Is never more fascinating than during the "Pro cession of the Holy Carpet." In the bazaars we watch the barefooted workmen embroidering, holding the cloth in their toes, which appear to be prehensile, or watch them go to the nearest mosque to bathe five times a day. As many times a day also from the minarets of mosques the rr.uezzins are reminding the natives of the approaching festival, and that "God is great, there is no Ood but God, and Mohammed is his prophet. Come to Prayer." Howling dervishes are dancing In the mosque near the Square of Sutten Hnsnn, while devout Moslems are en gaged In eventide prayer on their housetops. Water carriers are on the way to the yellow Nile for water, or are bearing wine In their gontsklns the same as In Bihllenl times, while aged' nun In the mosques are appareled ex actly as In Abraham's day. The streets are tilled with soldiers, while fhoiiv-nd f ! v 1 1 1 j : n attend the ceremonial lp-!:" r .' sacred prophet ic liicloMiie in the great square near the citadel. The enclosure la a pyra midal wooden structure covered with embroidered stuffs emblazoned with gold embroidery mid quotations from the Koran. Here the people receive the blessings of the prophet, together with Fpeolal dispensations and sacred talis mans. The khedlve and his dignitaries are all present to formally start the cara van and Its military escort toward Mecca, In far-off Arabia. The people press forward to touch the sacred In cisure, kissing It with fervor. Wm en let down their shawls and face veils from the windows, as the procession nt last starts. Following it are the pilgrims who will accompany the car pet to the sanctuary iu the mosque at Mecca, and who will return later with the same' caravan to Cairo, bearing the carpet of the previous year. Marriage In Bulgaria. Since Jtulgurla's unconditional sur render to the allies the men of her armies have been straggling homeward and many weddings are being cele brated in consequence. Bulgarian methods of entertaining before the wedding do not differ ma terially from those of other nations except that the bride insteud of hav ing her trousseau carefully put away In the "hope chest," from which she only takes It for the privileged few, bangs It up on cords w hich are stretch ed across the main room of the house. Mere it Is viewed on the Friday before the wedding by all the matrons of the town, while the bride and the maidens dance before the door and remain there until the matrons have given their full criticism of each garment, and if they disap prove of them the girls must help the bride make them over until "suit able." Instead of rice, corn as an emblem of plenty, Is showered over the bride and groom, who are escorted to their home with many ceremonies and they are virtually Imprisoned within Its doors. New Uses of Raw Products. The Weltmarkct directs attention t new uses of some raw products. In Holland a useful gum or paste Is being made from garlic. Th" bulbs are pressed and the juice or flaid matter so obtained is thickened by Inspira tion. A good substitute for cork !s ob tained from certain fungi, which are dried and ground, mixed w'th cement and consolidated by pressure. Sfi Nor way a process has hewn patented to enable carbide to be used for driving motors. In Denmark a company has been floated to make briquettes from heather. These have a higher heat value than peat. Experiments are be ing made to use chalk marl, especially that which comes from the Llmburg mines, as a manure. Typhoon Hurt Coconut Trees. The Christmas typhooi, which swept over the southern Philippine Islands did considerable damage to the coco jut plantations. Trees, especially those along the seashore and place most open to the wind, were either blown down or weakened to such a degree that unless the affected groves are cleaned tip and taken care of, the trees atill standing are doomed, but for an other reason, says the bureau of agri culture. The fallen trunks will be come breeding places of all manner of beetles, borers and other coconut de stroying pests and diseases. The weakened trees, unable to fight these odds, will sooner or later succumb and thus the farmers will suffer more losses. Got Him at Last ne was a large, dapple-gray, sensj-ble-looklng horse. It was bis task tc pull a baker's wagon from house tt house In a district on the North side as the driver dodged in and out of thi houses with his basket of bread an! cakes. "Fritz." called out the driver as hi ran down the porch steps, intendiru that as a notice to his faithful friend to move on down the street. Th horse did not move. "Charlie." spoke np the drive! again, and the old dnpple-grny stepped off promptly. Indianapolis News. Uncle Eben.

"The women who have stormed the fortress nf naval architecture have won a ph.ee in what Is perhaps t lie most Interesting professions In the world." says Manchester Guardian. "Mr. Chesterton has commented on the odd fact that, while men have been building houses from the beginning of time, they have not achieved anything like a perfect house, but the position as regards ships Is still more curious. Your house may not be a perfect house, I ut, with proper precautions, you can be sure of getting what you planned and of getting a house that will stand. Even now It Is far otherwise with ships. Take thl case of racing yachts. Two yachts may be built on similar plans by the same firm ; one will be a ti Hi in i bant success, the other a rank failure; no one seems to know why. l'.lg liners are built nowadays In pairs or triplets; yet any seafaring man will maintain that they nre entirely distinct Ii: every i sscntial particular, and even in the matter of speed then' will ill pi'i-t certainly be ii dlfferenci.

It traveled from Russia as the personal baggage of a Massachusetts business man. who had undertaki n mi his own re poiisibility to secure it for the gov ernment.
