Therefore when Mr. J Clarke, a business man of Westches- ter, N. Y, answered a question about bis greatly improved health his opin- jon_may be considered correct, e said, “Having been troubled with a bad cough and bronchitis for nearly a year, I decided to take Vinol a short time ago. The cough has now disappeared and my health is very much improved. “T certainly consider Vinol a val- uable remedy and should be kept in every home—until people try it they don't know its value." Thousands of other intelligent people praise Vinol simply because they have found it just what they needed to drive away lingering coughs and build up their health and strength. Vinol is a delicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil, and is the greatest strength renewer for all who are weak and run down. We guar- antee it to_glve perfect satisfaction.

Such are some of the marvelous feats performed by African fanatics in the sacred city of Kairowan, near Tunis, less than fifty miles from the Mediterranean coast. They may be witnessed any Friday afternoon by any one who s hardy. enough to jour- ney through the hot sands of the des- ert, for in Kairowan even infidels are allowed to watch the sacred rites. Kairowan has eighty-five mosques and ninety zac nias—praying places, or Moslem schools, in which the fanat- ics go through’ their terrible ordeals every Friday afternoon throughout the vear. What took place in the zaoula of Sidi Mohammed ben Aissa of Mec! nes one aftcrnoon recently is thus described in the Natlonal Geographic Magazire by Frank Bdward Johnson, who was present The high priest, called a sheik; the second high priest, called a moudadem, and the third, called a caliph, and the elders of the zaoula formed a large ircle, sitting on the floor chanting nd beating thelr tom-toms, now fast, then slow. Several rows of men and vouths had stood themselves in line, bowing and swaying to the rhythm of the music. Faster and faster beat the tom-toms; faster ahd faster swayed the lines of men. “After what seemed n long time a young man jumped from the front line and ran toward the chavuche or who bad arisen and given him hand to kiss; whereupon he immedi- ately stripped to the waist, keeping on only a pair of white oriental trou- s “A wooden box full of scorpions bad been brought over to me to look at. There were black, yellow, and white and I knew from experience how dan- gerous they were, An under-priest, “bache_chaouche,” stood upon a sort of stool and held high above his head a large scorpion by the tail. The fa- natic howled, snapped and jumped for it, the way a mad dog snaps at per- sons, and his eyes had an unnatural stare and glassy look, and he foamed and frothed at the mouth. “After a few seconds the bache chaouche dropped the scorpion into the fanatic'’s open mouth. He gave one snap and gulped it down alive, 10 be followed in an instant by anoth- er. By this time about 20 men and ouths were stripped to the waist, all snapping and frothing at the mouth. he first fanatic came so near me that I could feel his hot breath on my ‘Anunder-priest had Frought up two round swerds the size of my little finger and about one meter in length. The chaouche seized the flesh and muscles of the fanatic's shoulder and with a quick thrust, drove the florette through sc that about fifteen inches protruded on either side of the shoul- der. He then did the same with the second sword to the other shoulder. Two more florettes had been brought up by an under-priest. All the swords had handles of hard wood, shaped like a large ball “The fanatic braced himself and the chaouche, chanting a verse from the Koran, drove the sword into one side of the abdomen, —The second sword was done likewise on the other side of tlhie abdomen; and with these four swords sticking into him the fanatic wallked about and the bache chaouche followed him and at cvery other step hit with full force with a kind of sledge hammer on the hard wooden balls fastened as handles to the swords —driving them deeper at every blow. “The leaves of the ‘prickly pear' had been brought In in large baskets, and other fanatics, instead of being thrust through with swords, lay down and rolled on a_bed of prickly pear leaves (not the Burbank variety, without horns), and men covered their body with mcre leaves.

Ahout seventy men—old, middle-aged and young—underwent this terrible ordeal. “The gwords were pulled out by the chaouche or moudadem, who placed what looked llke a large bandana handkerchief about the sword and over the wound and with great force jerked out the sword. The fanatic would throw his arms around the neck of the moudadem and cling to him, while he whispered a few words of comfort into his ear, Immediately his eves would lose their glassy stare and nis face relax and become normal. ‘During my jouruneys through the Troglodyle country, in extreme south- ern Tunisia, L was frequently permit- count of an Actor, given by six girls, was weil presented, and was enjoyed by all.

One moon- light night, as_everything was in full swing—Prebisch, Mohammed and I sitting cn the fiat roof, the courtyard being too small to contain all that wanted 1o follow the service—the cap- tain of the ‘Affaires Indigenes' came up with several officers leaving for Morocco the next morning. Immedi- ately everything was stopped. The officers were non-bellevers, and they would not continue thelr religious rites, No threats of tmprisonment or punishment were of avail. “At the end of the Seance the men would lie stiff on thet ground, appar- ently dead. Only after rubbing and “Rating their bodtes ‘and sometimes biting their ears would -the fanatic come to. Five times during my stay at Foum Tatahouine, 1 saw the same man—he' keeps the large Arab cafe near the marketplace—swallow from elght to fifteen tenpenny nails, “One curlous fact is that members of this sect are always proof against {the stings ct scorplons and snake bites, not only when under this sort | of hypnotic spell, but when working lat their daily tasks. I could not be- lieve this statement until I saw it proved time and time again. Do they die? Do they bleed? were questions that 1 was asked frequently in Amer- ica. If they die, one never Rnows, and they should not bleed, and do not as a rule; but they bleed profusely once in a while, and this is what one of the high priests told me when I asked him about it: “‘If a man.has broken any of the commandments of the Koran, or de- i flled himself in any way, and comes to the religious rites of the Aissdouas, then he. will bleed, or the fire will burn, or the scorpions will choke him. He must purify himself first; then all will_go well.’ “The hynotized fanatic that eats Barbary figs, (prickly pear), glass, ete. is calied a camel; in Arahic ‘djimmel ““The socond is called a lion, He im- itates a lion and eats sheep and buils alive. ‘Saidie’ is the name. “The third is called an ostrich, or ‘rafely.

He eats shoes and hot iron and swallows coals of fire. fifth, called in French ‘le in He jumps down deep wells with his clothes on and comes out dry and his mouth full of water. He also jumps and hops about like & bird. “The sixth and last is called ‘okas- cha No one has ever been able to tell me its meaning. He is a sort of Samson, or strong man, and will break strong ropes or chains when bound, He seems to possess marvel- ous force, for 1 have seen twelve strong Arabs try to throw him, and he tossed them about like straw. Then the sheik himself had to go up to him; he was a wiry-looking old man. He passed his hand several times over the fanatic's face, and he, with a gasp and a groan, sank, apparently lifeless, to the floor. The strong man was trying to break down a stone wall with his head and was in a very ugly mood so that the twelve Arabs tried to throw him, so one of the chief priests could calm him. *T canriot explain to you why they are not hurt. It seems impossibie that a man, run through the abdomen with @ smail, round sword, does not die, or at least feel the after-effects.” As a well known English surgeon said to me on his return home from Kairo- van: ‘Why do they not all die of blood polsoning? " Sennoussi Declare Holy War. Recent letters received by Mr. John- son from Africa contaln information that the Turkish paper, Al Lema, on the day the letters were mailed, printed a letter from the Egyptian chief, Fah- my Ali, who is fighting in Tripoli with the Turks and Arabs. Fahmy Ali says that Sidi Ahmed al Cherig al Sen- noussi, commander in chief of the Sen- noussi, is actually on the way to the seat of war, having declared a jehad or holy way against the Italians. He is at the head of a large army of fa- natical Hohammedons, it is stated, and the correspondent writes that If this is actually true the situation of the Ital- ian forecs is indeed grave. The Sennoussi, Mr. Johnson says, are the Puritans of the Mohammedan faith, and aro religious fanatics to a_man, The sect was founded about 1835 by an Arab named Si Hohammed Ben Si- All Ben Sennoussi, who left his home in Algeria because of dificulties in his own family. Aftre wandering over the Whole of northern Africa this hitherto unknown Arab entered a monastery in Cairo, from which he was later ex- pelled because of his purtanical beliefs. He took refuge in the holy city of Mec- ca, but in 1843 he was again forced to flee because of his religious beliefs. Boon after his expulsion the cheik bégan founding schools and monaster- ies, where his beliefs were taught and proselytes fiocked to him. At the pres~ ent time the monasteries and schools of the Sennoussi are scattered thickly over the hinteriand of Tripoli and all of northern. Africa. Puritans of North Africa. _The Sennoussi, while they have been given the sobriquet of “The Puritans |of North Africa,” are practical. They | dig wells, establish schools and eolleges and the basis of their belief is the pu- rification of Mohammedanism. They never dance, never sing, never smoke or take snuff, and never even coffee. Of course, the use of wines or liguors is unknown among them. The founder of the order has been :ceeded bby another cherif, or com- mander in chief, and the order today emraces unknown millions of followers, scattered over North Africa, India,Chi na, Persia, Arabi and wherever the Mo- hammedan faith exists.

WHITTEMORE TELLS OF RAILROADING Secretary and Treasurer of Norwich & Worcester Road Spoke at Clinton. About sixty men attended the meet- ing of the Congregational Brotherhood says the Clinton, Mass., Item of Feb- ruay 14. It was ome of the largest meetings the brotherhood has ever had and much enthusiasm was shown. A part of the evening was devoted to a talk by M. M, Whittemore of Lancaster,. formerly of Norwich, who is secretary and treasurer of the Nor- wich & Worcester Railroad Co. Mr. Whittemore has been in the railroad business for many years and has made a thorough study of the subject. He| gave a brief history of the growth of railroads from the time the first road was sterted up to the present time. He had also computed some valuable statistics in regard to the number of miles of railroad in existence, as well as some of the expenses. Mr. Whitternore said that the rail- road through Clinton from Worcester to Nashua was first started in 1845, He gave many facis In connection with the big railroad merger, as well as some of the matters pertaining to rallroad legislation. He said that some of the stone that was used in building Bunker Hill monumeat came from the roadbed of the first railroad that was built in this country, in Massachusetts. Mr. Whittemore told of the origin of the Adams Express company, which was interesting, He said: “During the formative period a man by the name of Adams was one day travel- ing on a steamboat through Long ls- land sound, when Capt. Willam W. Coit suggested that he do_errands and cerry packages between New York and New London and Norwich. He immediately took up with the sugges- tion and had ar agent in New London and Norwich, who delivered the pack- ages in wheelbarrows. Finally he ex- tended the business to Boston and there began the Adams Express Co.” At the close of the talk a rising vote of thanks was given Mr. Whitte- more and he was voted a member of the brotherhood. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Good Vaudeville and Metion Pictures. In with the good vaudeville bills at the Auditorium the three acts that were shown there Thursday hold a place and the good sized houses pres- ent gave the right kind of a welcome for the turns that will finish out the week at this popular house. As a comedy singer and monologuist, Bobby Ott showed & pleasing singing voice and humor in his stories that kept the audience in a smiling mood. The two Smiletta Sisters appear in a siack wire, acrobatic and noveity contortion act which displays their re- markable limber jointedness in new and original ways, that win them a nice hand and proves thelr turn a strong attraction. Mott and Mayfleld, as the traveling salesman and the manicure girl, take class among the best of clever mixed | teams that has appeared at the Audi- | torfum, with an especially neat and clever turn, combining pretty songs, costume effects and particularly clever | worlk by Miss Mayfleld. They close with a duo that brings them an enthu- siastic curtain call, In the motion pictures the subjects are at_once Instructive and entertain- ing, with enough humor thrown in to make a sat'sfylng blend.
