ANY Some of the Queer Things That Were Observed Abroad. About half one's time in traveling abroad is snent in buying stamps. No matter how many I put on a letter I had no faith to believe that ft would reach America. 1 found tbat-I could send a letter with one stamp on it if I paid enough for it, also that 1 could get a denomination of which it would take twenty. In Cairo 1 put fifteen sphinxes and pyramids on tbe front of a letter and fire on the back.

As for postal cards, imagine asking for one In the Belgian language Wereldpost-vereenlging; But it is in a Mohammedan country that an American mind needs readjustment. We woke one morning in Constantinople and found our calendar nine days ahead of theirs, our watches seven hours behind and tbe name of tbe month Ramadan. Tbe Mohammedans seem to live up to their religion In a more definite way we do, and we soon learned what to expect The porter would drop one's trunk when the muopein called to prayer. The sncreduess of animal life compelled us to walk around the hundreds of lazy dogs asleep on the sidewalk. We were required to fake off our shoes Instead of our hnts when entering a mosque.

Women were not allowed to prny. because they "have no souls," Friday was the day for Sunday, and a enmera was an "evil eye" and could not be carried Into nnyi sacred place.

I THE KINGFISHER. A Bird Whose Ways Are Most Difficult to Observe, Tprhaps there is nothing in nature more. difficult to observe than the ways of tbe kirjtisber. Any one may see him glancing down midstream or making bis sudden arrow flight from bank to bank under the bright June sunshine, but to track blm down to bis secret fishing place and watch him at work Is a vastly more difficult thing. You come from the gold clad mead ows into the shady river path as irf to a cathedral aisle.

The willows crowd down to the water's edge. In tbe green reeds a sedge bird is frettiug. There is a low twittering song of nestlings all round you. And now. In tbe sha diest deep of the willow wood, a shrill, piping note cuts the silence, a flash of emerald passes, a kingfisher has gone by on bis way to his favorite pool.

A common notion is tbat be sits per fectly still on some branch overhanging the water, a picture of crafty vigilance. But this is rarely if ever tbe case." The truth is. gays a writer in the London Chronicle, that tbe kingfisher, like the master he is, sets about bis work, witb an easy surety, almost a nonchalance. Peering down upon him warily through the screen of branches you would judge tbat the last thing in the world be was thinking about was the gliding brown water below hino. He twirls round on bis perch, making bis vivid green and turquoise and amber plumage scintillate like a dewdrop in tbe one beam of sunlight that has found blm out.

He preens his feathers, stretches a lazy wing now and again, looks about him witb a casual eye, and then, as if it were the mesest trifling detail in life, he suddenly points bis two inch long fishing spear of a bill at the water beneath blm, plunges and is gone. The Withering Wind. The Dame of uarmattan has boen given a periodical wind wbich blows from the interior of Africa toward the Atlantic during the three months of December, January and February. It sets in witb a fog or dry haze, which sometimes conceals the sun for whole weeks together. Every plant, every bit of grass and leaf in its course is withered as though It had been seared by heat from a furnace.

Often within an hour after it begins to blow green grass is dry enough to burn like paper. Even the hardened natives lose all of the skin on exposed parts during the prevalence of this withering wind. Painful Ailment. Though gout is generally reckoned a disease of rich men and free livers, one of the worst of sufferers from it was a well known English minister who died not long ago. A friend once said to him, "Dr.

So-and-so, what is gout like?" Tbe clergyman smiled sadly. "If you put your hand in a vise," be said, "and let a man press as bard as he can, that is rheumatism, and if be can be got to press a little harder, tbat is gout." Why He Came Back. "Wasn't you here a few weeks ago?" asked tbe woman of tbe bouse at tbe back door. "Yes'm," replied the wanderer, "but understood from a pal tbat you've got a new pastry cook since then!"
