Mosul, the modem Nineveh, Is a
picturesque but not altogether attrac
tive elty. The houaes are built of
Irregular blocks of atone laid In thick
mortar. They are usually covered
with a white stucco, made by burning
the local gypsum rock. '
The roofs, of the same material as
the walls, are ataally flat, with
walst-blgh parapet, but are not Infre
quently domed. Doorways are often
made of alabs of the easily carved
gypsum.
The streets are narrow and alm
as, forming a male of tangled lanes.
As there la no system of sewerage
whatever, they eerve as repositories
for all the filth of the homes that
border on them. They are rarely, so
wide that more than two men eta
walk abreast
As a result of the fine dust tbs
filth sod the glare of the eon on the
white walls, ophthalmia and lung die-
■ abound. The files, which breed
fit tbs open refuse heaps In astonish*
hog numbers, swarm over everything.

KING ARTHUR’S ROUND TABLE
Legend of 8lr Galahad and the “Holy
Graal” as Recorded by
Engliah Writer.
Sir Galahad of (Tennyson’s "The
Holy Graal,” was the noblest and put-
est knight of the Round Table. The
title was Invented by Walter Map In
the “Quest of the Graal." Morley, In
his “English Writers,” says Sir Gala-
had was the son of Map's L’Ancelot
and Elaine. The Bon and namqsake
of Joseph of Arlmathea, Bishop Jo
seph, to whom the holy dish was be
queathed, drat Instituted the Order of
the Round Table. The Initiated at
their festivals sat as apostle knights
round tho table, with the Holy Graal
In the midst, leaving one seat vacant
as that which the Lord had occupied
and which was reserved for a descen
dant of Joseph, named Galahad. What
ever man else attempted to sit In the
place of Galahad the earth swallowed.
It was called therefore the Siege
(seat) Perilous. When men became
Sinful, the Holy Graal, visible only to
pure eyes, disappeared. On Its recov
ery depended the honor and peace of
England, but only Sir Galahad, who
was at tho appointed time brought to
the knights by a mysterious old man
clothed In while, and placed in the
Siege Perilous—only the pure Sir
Galahad succeeded In the quest.
TRUMPET NOT IN HIS LINE
Master of Organ a Distinct Failure
When He Essayed to Play Art-
other Musical Instrument
There is on amusing story told
about Sir Frederick Bridge, the fa
mous organist of Westminster abbey,
and of how ho was once guilty of
making a "row” within tho edifice.
It was at the time of the coronation
of King George V. One of the re
hearsals to take place was that of
the state trumpeters, who practiced
their fanfares within the building.
During their temporary absence Sir
Frederick Brtdgo thought he would
see what kind tot a fanfare he could
produce, and, borrowing one of the
trumpets, set about making such dis
cordant acunda that the clerk of the
works came up and expostulated: “If
that row continues,” he said, “my
workmen threaten to go on strike, and
If they do the coronation will have to
be postponed.” Sir Frederick hurried
ly put down the trumpet, and soothed
the workmen by playing a selection
on tho organ.
Gulls as Human Food.
“Tho flesh of gulls,” says one of the
best-known cyclopedias, “is rank and
coarse.” So It Is. Yon hnva only *0
shoot n gull and cook It to find this Is
the case, and that as a dinner dish (t
Is a complete failure.
Yet In Iceland gull flesh Is one of
the principal winter foods of the peo
ple. There, In early summer, when the
cliffs swarm with nesting gulls, parties
are organized and meu are let down
over tho lofty precipices by ropes.
They catch young gulls,.whlch are as
fat as batter, and send them up to the
top In sacks. The moment they reach
tho top the birds are skinned. A great
caldron of boiHng water U ready and
Into this the bodies are dipped and
held for a few seconds. This com
pletely does away with the fishy taste,
and tho birds are then taken borne and
hung In smoke until they are thorough
ly dried.
When winter comes they are cooked
and eaten, and are os delicate as any
chicken or game bird, but far more
fat and nonriihlng.

The Unhlstorlc Acte.
Her full nature, like the river ot
which Alexander broke the strength,
spent itself In channels which had no
great namo on the earth. But the ef
fect of her being on those around
her was Incalculably diffusive; tor tho
growing good ot the world Is partly
dependent on unhlstorlc acts; and
that things are not so 111 with you and
me as they might have been, Is half
owing to the number who lived faith
fully a hidden life, art rest in urn
visited tombs.—George Eliot.

Time for Dallying.
To tho Greek peasant girl Is com*
mtttcd the care of her father's flock,
which she mast lead every day to the
pasture and fold at night The vosko-
pouln, or shepherdess, is one of the
most prominent characters In rural
folk song, and many a charming Idyl
has been composed in her honor. ...
Bnt she has little time for sylvan dal
lying, for the sheep and goats must be
milked, and the milk most be convert
ed Into cheese and ylaourtl, a delicious
and wholesome sour curd, which is In
great demand In the towns. When tha
sheep have been shorn, the wool U
bleached and epun, and then knitted
and woven Into garments for the fam
ily or Into cloth for ante. The cotton
or flax grown on the farm must also
be gathered In their seasons, and pro-
pared for nse. The cotton pods are
put through n small hand machine
called the mangano, which toms two
rollers different ways, and separates
the fiber from the seed. The Instru
ment next used Is the toxcveln. a large
bow made from a curved piece of
wood five or more feet long, the two
ends ot which are connected by a stout
string. The cotton Is placed loosely
on the string, which Is made to vibrate
by being struck with a stick, produc
ing d not unmusical sound. This proc
ess detaches the particles of cotton,
and It Is now ready to nse as wad
ding for the large qallts, which, with
n sheet tacked to the under side, fom
all the winter bed covering used b;
the lower orders of nntlves of
race. The mattresses are also usually
stuffed with cotton, and the palliosoci
with the husks of Indian corn.
