And now the excitement of the show began iu earnest. Not a little of the rico was spilled on the ground, for the collisions were end- less between those who, had already received their allowance and those who were pressing forward to get theirs, and in It trice the whole court yard was one great whirlpool of scrambling and jostling and fighting, which fully bole out the name given the festival. In the confusion I saw 1110re than ono luau receive the hot rico all over his face and arms instead of in his howl, which made hint scream and caper like a scalped cat. While this talk had been going on, the ciowd had been thinning fast, nearly all the pilgrims having been nerved by this time. But a stranger sight than all was still in storefor them, and they had not long to wait for it. "Look ! look !" shouted Ned, 5uddeuly. "See those fellows swathing themselves up like babies in those long clothes ! Aren't they a queer sight 1" Sure enough, a number of 1000 on the other side of the court -yard -which was now emptying fast,tho rush being wollnigh over -were wrapping themselves up so closly in long white shrouds that nothing was left visible but Choir eyes, and it seemed as if a legion of ghosts had arisen before us in their winding sheets. At the farther end of the groat courtyard stood the tomb itself -a low, square, domed building, with two doorways, one of which was in- laid with silver. For hundreds of years it had been a chosen place of pilgrimage for the whole country round, and now it seemed as if all the pilgrims in file kingdom had fixed upon this particular day to pax it a visit, for the court -yard was full to overflowing. 'l'lle pilgrims themselvee were a strikiug spectacle, though certainly far from an agreeable one, Nearly all were as ragged and dusty as the lowest beggars of Italy or Spain,and not a few were terribly deformed, either by disease or by the sufferings which they had inflicted upon Them- selves in honor of their saint. Maimed hands, crippled feet, sight- less oyes, and bowed, misshapen fig- ures were seen on every side; and the sight was so unpleasant that I was glad to have my attention di- verted from it by a vast cloud of steam which at that moment began to rise from the eastern end of the court -yard, whither all eyes were now, turned in eager expecta• Lion.• "I say Ned," cried Harry B - to his brother, "there's something jolly good cooking there, whatever it is, "first-rate," said Ned sniffing. "Smells like rice pudding doesn't it. MAN'S ORIGINAL COLOR. DR. EGII THINKS HE CAN ASCERTAIN weeTHER ADAM WAS COLORED OR PLAIN. The scientific world is curiously awaiting the results of au experi- ment now being made by Dr. John Ege, of Philadelphia. If successful, Dr. Ege expects to accomplish the miracle of turning the negro white and the white man black. Ile will also establish at the same time the original color of mankind. The process by which this wonderful revolution in changfug the color of the skins of the human family is to be brought about is by skin graft- ing, an operation which hue beeu k uown and performed throughout the civilized world for many ages, but which Dr. Ege, by his experi- ulente, hopes and expects to very materially advance. It is a well-known fuct that there are two distinct methods of skiu grafting -the Reverdins and Thir- sch. The former method is the cutting of minute particles of skin with a pair of scissors, while the latter method p.ovides fur the us: of any sharp instrument similar to a razor, and iu that way taking larger pieces. The first method is considered the better by some of the medical profession for old ulcers, while the latter is preferable in new accidents like scalding and scalping. But while the methods of skin grafting aro not new to the medical profession nor to 1)r. Ege, who has on several former occasiuua healed (111110015 sores by 1116308 Of grafting the skin of a hoalty man into old wounds, the matter of intermixing the skins of the ditf'er- eut races of the h'ltnan family, and the hope and expectation that the ingrafted skin, regardless of what its culor may have been originally, will assume the hue of the body to which it 1108 been transplanted, is what ire is now bending every effort to accomplish. ,hist as the last of the Indrakot men were filing off with what rico they had been able to seize in the scramble, the shrouded men came across the court -yard as best thoy could ; for most of them were so closely swathed that they were hardly able to walk. They mount- ed the ladders placed against the rice pots, and, protected by their wrappings, they actually went right down into the two great iron cald• roux, which were still burning hot -for such a huge masa of metal requires many hours to cool --and wore instantly herd at work scrap- ing off and eating the rice and sugar that had stuck to the sides. In spite of all their preeautions,not a few of these persevering dish•scra- p,:re received some pretty severe burns while thus engaged. But they did not emerge again from the pots till the last morsel of the pud- ding had been scraped up and de- voured ; and this was the last scene of one of the most extraordinary ceremonies that I Have ever witness ed. "That's just what it is," said their father, smiling ; "its the biggest rice -pudding in the world." In fact, when he drew nearer, I saw, to my amazement, that what I had hitherto taken for two huge iron water -tanks at the far end of the court, were really monster cook- ing pots,from which rose the savory stearal that had so much delighted the boys. The larger of tho two pots -which was nearly twice the size of the oth- er --was considerably bigger than an ordinary breakfast -room, and would easily have accolllodated a dinner party of twenty guests, waiters and all. Colonel B- told me that the "Great Deg," as the bigger pan was called, held 10,000 pounds of rice, and the "Little Deg"60,000, be- sides oil, sugar, and spices in propor- tion. "But can these fellows really eat 16,000 pounds of rice at one heal V' I asked. "You haven't seen 'ern all yet," replied B-- ; there are plenty of guests still to come. After all the pilgrims have been served, the servants and hangers-on of the Dar - NOT THE RICHT WORD.

THE SOLICITORS' COSTS. A CLIENT IS NOT ALWAYS CUM- PELLED TO PAY THEM. The Court of Appeal, 'Toronto, one morning last week, decided a question as to the right of a firm of solicitors to their coats in an action which had taken on almost the com- plexion of Dickens' celebrated case of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce. The style ul the cause was Allenby v. Robertson and the facts were briefly as follows : Allenby & Weir are a firm of solicitors in Galt, and May Agues Mary Robertson retained thein to take eertaiu proceedings against William Cowan and Georie Edmund Husband in connection wil.h the administration of her father's estate. Instead of going a- bout the matter by means of adminis- traliou proceedings they entered an action in the usual form. The re- sult was that wheu Mies Robertson obtuiued a judgment, her solicitors' cost e amounted to $1,700 acid her owu share only to $400. J. 11 . Thom, Ole taxiug officer at Osgoode hall, allowed the eolieiturs their costs, Miss Robertson caused an appeal to Justice Robertson, who set aside the taxing of cat's order. Then the solicitors wont to the Court of Appeal. In that court last weekJustice Mac- lennan held that it was clearly the solicitor's duty to recommend the less costly procedure to their client : That there was no evidence to show that she had instructed theta to take the more expensive action, and therefore that they trust be held re- sponsible. The appeal was dismiss- ed, and Justice Robertson's judg• meat was confirmed. In this judgment Chief Justice Hagerty audJusticeOslor concurred, but Justice Burton was emphatical- ly of the opinion that the solicitors had acted within their province. If it would be any comfort to thorn, he said, they should know that there was one judge at least upon that bench who thought so. "There is no question as to the integrity of the solicitors," said Justice Osler, in mild deprecation. "It is merely a question as to their judgment." "It is rather shocking to my old fashioned notions, however," ttie Chief Justice remarked, "for a client to get a judgment of $600 and actually got only $400 out of it." "The presumption must be in favor of innocence rather than other- wise," w ra •I i ,i; • Burton's retort. And so these worthy gentlemen differed. The result is that the appeal is dismissed, Justice Robertson's judg- ment is confirmed and the solici- tors lose their cents. IIe has been treating for some time Joel Saul, a young man, who for over two years has been troubl- ed with au obstinate ulcer, involv- ing almost the entire lower portion of the lower left leg. As a last resort to effect a permanent cure he decided upon grafting a new skin on a sore leg. Having obtained from Mr. Saul permission to graft the skin of a colored Mau, it open- ed up to flim an opportunity for experiment whieli he bad long been looking for, and he at ouce entered into the project with a spirit and zeal bora of a detc'nnina tion to advance the cause of science if possible. After considerable effort, he finally, by the aid of money, secured two healthy negroes of ebony black, who consented to part with a certain portion of their skins, and the process of grafting, under both of the prescribed methods was accomplished. To await the result of the operation, and to watch for any change in the color of the black skin was attend- ed with considerable anxiety on his part , and when, atter a few days of patient watching, he was rewarded by observing that the skin of Cho black was gradually but surely turning white, he at once determin- ed to further pursue his investiga- tion, and ascertain if it was possible to change the skin of the Caucasian to correspond with that of the Ethiopian. -An army officer writing from Psile Ridge, Kansas, March 10, says: Wo have had twelve snowstorms in thirty days. Nothing but Know con be seen, and above our camp under the bank it forms a wall forty feet high and ton feet thick. In ten years so much snow has not fallen. The thermometer has been low as 40 degrees below zero. And Suuday's blizzard at Ashland, Wis., was the worst of the season. It was report- ed that two hotnesteaders on the newly -opened land perished in the storm. THE WISE SAVANTS. Tell us that Rehumatiem is a blood disease; that it oan bo cured only by a remedy which works through the blood. And yet, if you hare the darting pains of Rheumatiemlin muscles or joints, try a little of Clark's Li,(htning Liniment. It will go direct to the seat of pain and relieve it at onoe. There is no waiting weeks and months until the disease oan be attacked through the blood.

Accordingly, on Tuesday last he secured James Lewis, a healthy negro of thirty-five years, who con- sented to undergo the operation for the benefit of science. Tho doctor used a large knife, resembling the blade of a razor, and cut bare on tho negro's arm a space two inches by three-quarters of an inch. In this place he planted twelve pieces of skin from his own , arm and twenty-five pieces from the arm of an intimate friend. The wound was examined yesterday for the first time since the operation, and a photograph taken. The ingrafted akin appeared whiter than before, possibly by contrast, and it will re- quire probably four or five days longer to determine what the result will be. Should the color change to correspond with the black's skin, the doctor will pursue his investi• gation still further, and the inter- mixing of the skins of the Caucasian and Mongolian will be his next attempt. Dr. Ege says :-"If this white in - grafted skin continues to grow and remain white on the black man's ern) it will show the constancy of the white race as well as the origiu- alit), of color. Should white skin thus ingrafted change to black, scientists could argue that black was the original color of mankind." MULTUM IN PARVO.

PRINCIPLES OF MOHAM- MED'S RELIGION. • There is a general impression that the Moslems consider Christ au imposter and. Christianity b fraudulent religion. Such is not the case ; the Moslems, or at least the intelligent ones among them, revere the name of Christ as the predecessor of Mohammed, but they deny that He was tho son of God. Their claim is that many prophets and apostles have been sent on earth since the creation ; of these( prophets and apostles six were specially commissioned to proclaim new laws and dispensations which set aside the preceding ones. These apostles were Adam, Noah, Abra- ham, Moses, Christ, and Mohammed, the last being greater than all the rest and the giver of the final dis- pensation to mankind. They put Christ on exactly the sante plane as Mohammed, as the apostle of God,° and not His son, and they deny, as already stated, that Christ held that relation to the Divine Bead of the universe. Some of tho books of the Old Testament are accepted by the Moslems, though in a mutilated condition ; many of Mohammed's religious ideas were borrowed from the Jewish legends, others frolu Hindoo mythology, and others, again, from the Persians and outer Oriental people. Some of the pro hibitions that he made in theKorau are to be commended in the highest degree. The Moslems have always been noted for their temporatice iu comparison with other people ; this comes from the decree of the Koran, which forbids the drinking of wine or any other intoxicant, though many Moslems indulge in secret, and some openly, in conse- quence of the example which is shown them by their European acquaintances. The Koran forbids games of chance, such as cards, die' . and wagers upon uncertainties, sled to ouch an extent that a gambler's testimony is rejected in a court of law. Chess and games of skill that do not interfere with religious observances, and on which no wagers have been made, are per Knitted. In short, a than is for- bidden to make any profit by chance or cihonest practices, except in buying and selling, in which, rather singularly, any sort of deception is justifiable. -Mrs. Fenwick, wife of Dr. K.
