Mahommedan fellow- subjects, say, in fadia, produced a comic opera entitled "Calvary or "Nazareth," and filled it with jokes!. about God, what would our feelings
be?
Mecca is the most sacred spot on earth to countless millions of loyal Moslems; it is the place where the Prophet preached and where he is buried. All over the world the Faithful turn towards it when they pray; and it meats to them: even more than is meant to us by the boly places of Christianity or the Zion of our dreams.
Allah is the Arabic word for God. It is not the name of some heathen deity; it is not, strictly speaking, a name at all; it is simply "God" in the Arabic tongue our God, or theirs.

Londoners as the tactful citizens of the metropolis of a great Empire, any jesting use of the Divine Name, or of that of Islam's Sacred City. comes as a shock, suggesting that English people live in a detached little comer of the earth, knowing nothing of the lives and prejudices of the rest of the world.

GREAT LIQUOR CONSPIRACY.
Subterfuges adopted to get whisky or transport it are legion, but there is no record of anything cleverer than the scheme of the booze runners." detected at St. George, Staten Island, when whisky worth £5,000 was seized.
A commodious railway van packed with barrels covered with berring scales, labelled "bering," and smell- ing filety, and consigned to Chicago, attracted no attention till one barrel sprang a leak and exuded something much more thirst quenching than berring.
After the discovery one of the rupzers boldly telephoned to the police superintendent, Mr. Murphy, in charge of the investigation, and offered him 55,000 down to allow the van to go on to Chicago.
The police believe they are now on the way to break up a great | liquor conspiracy.
