No. 84 A PERSIAN WEDDING The Marriage Ceremony in a Mohammedan Land The building of the home — the clay-bank and brick kiln. The marriage contract — the ceremony — preparation of the wedding feast — arrival of the guests — the eating of the meal— prayers. The lot of woman in a Mohammedan land — spinning — weaving— the care of the family. ♦ No. 87 SACRED BABOONS Capturing Animals in Abyssinia An expedition winds its way through the rocky, sun-baked hills of Abyssinia. Past chattering monkeys, it proceeds until the territory of the baboons is reached. Presently a group is spied, clambering up and down a sheer wall of rock. Along paths which these baboons frequent, traps are built. Many are caught alive. As the expedition proceeds, ostriches, panthers, monkeys — animals enough for an Ark — are added to the captives already secured. Their antics, as they are gradually tamed, provide a home-made circus. No. 88 TINY HOUSEKEEPERS The Story of the Hamster Spring — and the end of a winter’s hibernation. Courtship — a fierce fight with a rival — a nestful of youngsters. Foraging for food for the young — their gradual growth — the first peep of the outer world — timid explorations — shifting for them selves. Preparations for winter — building a new home — stocking it with grain — the pilfering of an intruding mouse — the Hamster’s punishment of the robber — settling down for the winter’s hibernation. No. 89 KILLING THE KILLER The Cobra and the Mongoose The snake charmers of India and their dancing cobras— the expanded hood of this deadly snake — capturing a rat. The mongoose, deadly enemy of the cobra — capture of a rat — raiding a bird’s nest for the eggs. As it descends the mongoose spies the cobra — the two prepare for battle. The fierce lunges of the snake, hood spread, at the dodging, threatening mongoose — gradual tiring of the snake — the sudden snap of the mongoose at his enemy’s neck — the fierce thrashing of the coiling snake — the victory of the mongoose. — 15 —
