southern district is in Western Kansas,
Northwestern Texas, and the Indian

the British possessions. At the pres
ent rate of decrease, the bison can
hardly outlive the present century. 1t

Planetary Population.

On the interes ting question OF the
plurality OF worlds, Professor New
comb remarks as follows: "Enthusias-
tic writers not only sometimes people
the planets with inhabitants, but cal
culate the possible population by the
number Of square miles of surface, and
throw in liberal supply of astrono-
mers, who scan our earth with power
full telescopes. The possibility OF this
it would be presumption to deny; but
that it is extremely improbable, at least
in the case Of any one planet, may be
seen by rejecting on the brevity OF
civilization on our globe when COM
pared with the existence of the globe
itself as a planet. The latter has prob
ably been revolving in its orbit 10, ,000,-
coo years; man has probably existed on
it less than 10000 years; civilization,
less than 1900: telescopes, little more
than 200. Had an angel visited it at
intervals Of 10000 years to seek for
thinking beings, he would have been
disappointed a thousand times or more.
Reasoning from analogy, We are led to
believe that the same disappointments
might await him who should now trav-
ell from planet to planet, and from sys-
! ten, to system, OH similar search, I'm
/ iii he had examined many thousand
J planets"

Tic Koran.

The Koran is divided into thirty
equal parts, and each of these is again
divided into two. This division is
made without reference TO the suras,
or even TO subjects or paragraphs.
Every mosque or chapel has thirty or
sixty readers, according to lis wealth,
to each of whom is assigned one of
these thirty or sixty parts for public
reading; and thus it is that the entire
Koran is read each day in every
mosque and chapel. The fundamental
teachings of the Koran are five in num-
ber, viz: /. i pure and simple mono
theism: GOD is one God, the eternal
God. He begetteth not, neither is he
begotten; and there is none like unto
him" ,. Mohammed, the prophet Of
God, and his vicegerent upon earth in
all things, whether temporal or spirit
ual. The most significant sentence of
the Koran, and the one most frequent
ly heard and seen, is that which has
already been quoted in another connec-
zion: LA ilaha ill' Allah, wa Muham-
medu-rrasul- l-Allah''-'There A is no God
but God, and Mohammed is his pro-
phet." 8. The Koran itself, the only
and sufficient revelation of Gods VIII,
and the infalliable rule Of faith and
practice in affairs religious, moral, So
cial, and civil. 4. The imperative duty
Of propagating this faith everywhere,
at all times and by all means, and most
especially by ''holy war; and by legal
aims" for carrying on this war. 3. A
system of rewards and punishmeuts,
embracing heaven and hell as dSscrib-
ed, with IAN III journey to the latter.
Its incidental teachings of a moral and
ceremonial character embrace the fol-
lowing among others;-l. Prayers at
the mosque, if practicable, five times a
day, viz: (a) Immediately after sunset;
lb) at nightfall, an hour and Lalf
after sunset; (cl at daybreak; (dl at
midday; and lei at an hour and a half
before sunset. AT these hours may be
heard the sonorous call Of the muezzin
from the minaret of every mosque:
.'Allahu ackbar' three times), ''ashadu
anna Ia ilaha i'll Allah wa Muhamme-
DUR asul-hllah repeatedly "hayya
alas sala" (several times)-"Aliah is
great, and there is no god but Allah,
and Mohammed is the Prophet of Al
lah; Come to prayer" 2. Fasting.
The entire month Of Ramatan is spent
in fasting, which is kept by the deyout
Mohammedan with astonishing faith
fulness, from morning until night, not
tasting 50 much as It crumb of bread
or taking drop of coffee, water,
OF other beverage, or even allowing

Of sensual qualifications; 3. Additions.
The washing of the hands and arms to
the elbows, and of the faces and feet
before prayers, with cleanliness and
decency Of apparel, are also enjoined.
IIencea fountain of running water is
found beside every mosque and chapel.
Among no people is personal cleanli-
ness more universal, and the MusSul-
man quarter Of any city is more clearly
than the Jewish.

What Girls Ought to Know.

From book by Mary ]. Studley, NJ.
D., teacher of Physiology in the Farm
ingham Normal School, we quote the
following:
Marriage is the ultimate end and aim
OF every life, and the true marriage IS
the holiest of all possible relationships.
| 1t is of God own ordaining. The true
! wife and mother is the queen among
women-yca, among all created beings.
| All men honor her, and are ready TO
accord her the highestp place in creation.
| Second only to her is she who has
| had The courage to remain single be-
| cause the right man never came, for |
/ am of those who helieve that no woman
/ is ever single for her lifetime for lack
! Of the opportunity to marry at some
! time in her life; and whenever l meet
an ''old maid" | am ready to do her
honor for living up to the principle,
The best or none"
Said little girl, who had just said
/ her ''seven times one, +" to me, "Auntie.

! WELL" said she, "Ill get husband
! if can find good one; and if can't
Iwon't have any. Would you, auntie?"
There, dear girls, is your motto for
your matrimonial game. You can find
nothing better in the whole range of
! literature. 1.-The best or nOneI"
And what constitutes 1.-The best?"
First, and always, the healthiest. And
| who is the healthiest? First, and al
ways, the most temperate, and temper
| ance, remember, means self-cOntrOl.
! The young man who smokes has lost
his self-control. His appetite has run
away with him, and it will carry him TO
! other forms Of intemperance just as
surely as night follows day. Beware
! Of him.
Remember that the marriage contract
binds you for life to one who is to be to
YOU like another self, so close is the
marriage relation, and you can no more
get away from that ether self, if he
prove to be odious TO you, than you can
escape from your own self if you make
yourself odious.
All, my dear girls, if you could only
learn to look beyond the orange BIOS
SONS far enough 20 see the rue which
so soon succeeds them, in too many
cases, you would learn to be duly cau-
/ tious in this momen:ous matter. The

And. even as you demand "the best
in the husband. SO is it his to demand
the Dest' in the wife. The best man
is he who will look wisely and well for
his other self. To win him you must he

The following laughable incident IS
told by a we'll known oflice-h0ider who
has nothing to do but ride on the cars
(he rides free), and who has numerous
tales to tell OF his observations and eX-
perience. There were two seats III the
One was occupied by a lady, the other
by Chinaman. She explained to him
that she wanted TO take the cushions
and their frames and place them
Iengthwise across from seat to seat.
John said ''All rightee," and got out
in the aisle, while she proceeded to lie
down on the bed thus improVisGd,
with her head resting on her VaLlse.
She supposed that the Chlnaman
would take the hint that she wanted to
rest in the space usually occupied by
four persons. But John ut once pro-
ceeded to crawl i'll and stretch himself
by her side, with his head on little
! bundle of his own. The Chinese are
an initiative race, and like to do as
. others do you know. The lady, rs soon
+ as she discovered that she had q bed-
fellow. got up little wildly and start
! ed for the next car, to the infinite
+ amusement of the passengers, who had

On Bathing.

Once week is often enough Tor
decent white man TO wash himself all
over. and whether in summer or VIII
ter that ought to be done with soap,
warm water, and a hogs hair brush, In
a room showing at least seventy de-
greeS Fahrenheit. Baths should be
taken early in the morning, for 1t is
then that the system possesses the
power of reaction IN the highest de-
gree. ANY kind of bath is dangerous
soon after a meal. or soon after Ia
tiguing exercise. No man or woman
should take bath at the close of the
day, unless by the advice Of the fami iy
physician. The best mode Of keeping
the surface of the body clean, besides
the once a week washing already men
toned, is as follows: AS soon as you
get out Of bed in the morning, wash
YOUR face. hands. neck and breast; into
the same basin of water put both feet
at once for about a minute, rubbing
them briskly all the time; then with
the towel. which has been dampened by
wiping the face, feet, ETC., wipe the
whole body well, fast and hard, wit
mouth shut and chest projecting. Let
the whole thing be done in less than
five minutes. At night when you go to
bed. and whenever you find yourself
wakeful or restless, spend from two to
five minutes i'll rubbing your whole
body with your hand, so far as you can
reach in every direction. This has Il
tendency to preserve that softaess and
mobility Of skin which is essential to
health, and which too frequent was'-
ings will always destroy"

The custom Of kissing the Pope's toe
was introduced about 50S. Adrian /.
caused money to be coined with his
name, zOS. The first Pope who kept an
army was Leo TX, 1854. In 1917 Greg
DRY VII. compelled Henry w, En-
peror of Germany, TO stand baefooted
i'll the snow at the gate OF the Castle Of
Canosa. The Pope'S authority was es-
tablished i'll England III 1909; and in
1l6l Henry ii. held the stirrup while
Pope Alexander III. mounted his
horse. In ll9i Celestine III. kicked
the crown from off the head of the en-
peror Henry VI, to show his proroga-
tive Of making and unmaking kings.
kissing the Pope's toe and other cere-
monies were abolished by Clement
XIV. in 1873. The Pope was deprived
of the remains of his temporal power
in December. 1870.
