MURRAY «cope one At 1ast evening, as were winding among short, stony ravines that edged a werduous plain, the lead- ers raised am ecttatic shout. and the rest of the e«aravan, crushing forward. with beating thearts, beheld in a sort of valley below them the minarets of Mecca gleamfémg in the sun like a thou- sand points-of fire, the great mosqwe being conspicuous in the midst. We descended, like an avalanche, in a storm of dmst, every Moslem of us beside himself with joy and awe anfi excitement, amd, reaching the foot .of the declivity, we burst into such a we sacene of commagtion as human eye.coulé witness nowhere of heaven We talk of Babel, but ‘the real confusion of ao Mecca. There were a hundred thousand strangers in the city, and, judging by the ear, ten times as many else under the wide the credit .of tongues belongs tongues and .tiialects. There were faces of every imaginable hue and shape, from every known clime, and ecestumes that oniy a mad tailor could realize in delirious visions af the night. The elect-of the believers were there from Turkey and Greece, from Syria and Barbary and Timbuctoa, from Egypt, Palestine, and the dark heaxt of Africa, from Persia, and the regions of the Indus, from Hindoostan, Malacca and the Asiatic isles, and from many far separated places besides, ga- thered at incalculahie cost and inde- scribable trouble ang discomfort to worship according te the doctrines of Islam. Yet the tumult. wes certainly not such as one associates with ucts of re- lizion. Men using the language of troopers in a rege were hauling wild- ly at apathetic camels that appeared to have an insuperable bias in fav- our of standing still, amd frantically endeavouring to stuff them in holes and corn<rs that could not possibly ac- commodate anything larger than a cat: horses were rearing and backing and dancing; ladies were sereaming in fear of having their litters upset and their sacred beauty exposed to the public gaze; householders and visitors wrangled and gesticulated about the value of lodgings, and over all were a million ear-splitting cries that seem- ed to out of the very earth. We did not a little ourselves to add to the din and confusion, for we had a goodly number of beasts to dispose of and voluble tongues in our heads to argue against the obstinacy of man and brute. It took several heurs of arduous pulling and pushing and vo- ciferating to get ourselves and our be- rise | longirgs housed, but the _ enterprise Was at length accomplished just as the sun, the only street lamp at Mec- ce, was dropping out cf sight. Then having dined sumptuously on roast fowl, eggs, bread, and coffee—rare de- licacies after the hard fare of the i-:- sert—we lay down to dream of the great things that were befere us , Anxious to show ourselves patterns of piety and strictness, Tabal and I as- sumed the ihram, which is the special mark of déevoutness [It consists of two vieces of linen cloth, one of hich is Wrapped abcut the loins like a High- land kilt and the other thrown over the upper part of the body in such a Way as to leave the right arm un- covered. As no other garment, not even so much as a covering for the head, is permitted while it is worn, it makes an airy dress, especially in the evening and at early morning, when the Mecca aif is often as shrewd as that ef Edinburgna. Thus we visited with ions the beitullah, or t posing building with more gates and minarets and courts and domes and marble, granite, and porphyry pillars our compan- mple, an im- than I had time to count. tanee we we were obliged to leave in the porch with a great crowd of her own sex, for the Moslem will allow no woman, however beautiful of pious or exalted, to set foot in his temple. Thus the Mohamracdan ladies, less fortunate than their Christian sisters, are denied the privilege of displaying the latest fashions in church. Inside the pavements were full of men in every posture of rapt devotion, some kneeling, some sitting with kent heads. others prostrate on the floor. At sight of these we stopped for one minute. bowing low; then with a so- lemn,. micasured step, we advanced five abreast upon the kaaba, keeping our eves fast upon it. On reaching it we stooped egain, but only for an in- stant. Proceeding at the same pace as befere we went roand it seven times. reciting in a low voice certain prescribed verses from the Koran, only we interrupted curselves at each round to kiss the black stone which, as all believed, was brought direct from lLicaven by the angel Gabriel. Having done our duty by the kaaha and the black stone we turned to the z-mzem—that is to say, the holv well which God miraculouslv « reated for the outcast Hagar and her son, the of the deser*. washed father of the children We drank of its waters and in them (for the benefit of succeed- ing hadjis), but there was one pil- grim at least who would have taken a draft of Epsom salts with moe relish. The zemzem may be gcod to wash in, but it is not good to drink from, a fact which the Arabs them- ' seives tacitly acknowledge by refrair- ing from partaking of its waters oftener than orce a year. Purified of our sins, we returned to the pavement already mentioned, and there went down in groups and said cur prayers. Then slowly retracing cur steps we passed through a great door. and lo! we were in the midst of the fair again. Ranee, who was wait- ing for us, ran to me clasping her hands in ecstasy. ‘Now, verily thou art one of us in spite of thy English face,” she said, freezing the blood in my veins. “For God’s sake, hush !” I whisper- ed, hastily. ‘“ Not a syllable, as thou lovest m2.” [Copyright, 1893. by John Alexander Steuart.) <=2 100Ked hurt, but said no more, and-.I glanced fearfully round, half ex- pecting to see.a.dagger coming at me. But luckily the jhubbub had drowned her speech. The renaining ‘rites were performed with demonstrative zeal and unction, the most trifing detail being done strictly aecording to the letter .of the law. We went to Mount Arafat to hear the sermons with a throng that laughed and jested, baiting each other With the roughest of wit and sar- casm, and read the Koran, and prayed aloud, and sang snatches of love songs all in the game breath. All night, in a blaze of ineffable brilliancy, we n ade merry at the faot of the moun- tain—pashas and sheiks and chiefs and governors and priests and camel driv- fers and beggars amd stray Bedouins, great men iod small, learned and 4gnorant, mingling iike brothers, for | 411 men are equal during the haji. , calling at Summerside, Port | Ch’iown, May 14, 1898 | dividend, at the rate of | Transfer Books (To be Continned.) prevent distress, aid diges- or cause pain.
