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.

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. Pictorial Farming.

Her full nature, like the river ot which Alexander broke the strength, spent itself In channels which had no great namo on the earth.

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. FOR SALE—Hastings’ 100-bush- els Seed Oats. A.
