Three Sabbath* Each Week In Tangier.
Morocco is a country of many Sab
bnths. The first three days I spent in
Tangier were nil Sabbaths. Arriving
on a Thursday night, the next day was
Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbatb.
which was followed by the Jewish
Sabbath- the Hebrew element in Tan
gier Is considerable and strict in re
ligious observance? and that In turn
by the Christian Sunday. Subsequent
comparison, however, revealed little
difference l>etween any days of the
week. On flie Mohammedan Sabbatb
h blncic flag is hoisted on the minarets
at the prayer of dawn. Instead of the
white Sag that announces the time of
devotious on other days. It remains
up until the middle of the forenoon,
by which time everybody is supposed
to have found out what day It Is.?

The Word "Charlatan."
"Charlatan," says a writer in the
London Chronicle, "is companion to
'yuack' in our vocabulary, and of this
word the origin Is certainly Italian.
It is 'clarlatano,' merely a chatterer,
and describes the traveling doctor In
his cart who used to offer in an over
whelming torrent of talk his pills to
villagers In the market place. He was
a dentist as well as a physician and
wrenched out the tooth In public. The
genus is not yet entirely extinct."
A Word Breaker.
"Fine looking old gentleman."
"Yes, but he was never known to
give a man his word that be did not
break it."
"Dishonest, eh?"
"Nope; he stutters."? Houston Post

"So you have decided to call In an
