to insinuate q doubt o. the divine
mission Of Mohammed. There is a
sublimity in the enthusiasm Of the
Moslems for their prophet OF Arabia
1t was this enthusiasm that conquered
Constantinople, and that terrified Eu.
rope beneath the walls Of Vienna. 1t
is the same rapt and dominant pas
sion that stands like a wall of ada
mant in tho path of the modern mis-
sionary who attempts to teach the
Moslem pure Christianity; and it is
the knowledge of this that makes the
Christians of the East today tremble
in the presence of their Moslem con-
querors. The Christians know that
they are surrounded by those whose
fanatical hatred of Christianity is like
the pent-up fires Of volcano; they
can never be sure that those fires will
not, at some unexpected moment,

Corn husks have some other value
than that of feeding purposes. Aside
from the demand for them at mattress
manufactures there are numerous uses
to which they can be applied at home.
The husks split by drawing them
through sharp points of iron or knives
set in block make good cushions for
farm wagons. Those who are skilled
in the.art of braiding can turn them in
to horse collars. Another item, not
unworthy OF mention is the form of
splendid material for door mats or mud
mats. A common three ply braid
sewed with strong thread makes both
sides alike, but in bralding if the ends
of the husks are allowed to project
some the braid can be woven together
so as to form sort of a brush on one
side. The husks found next to the ear
are soft and from them many fancy
little articles can be manufactured,
such as table mats, baskets, slippers etc.

A COMPLICATED Case,


A Toronto man, troubled with inces-
SAINT ringing in his ears, awoke at about
4 o'clock the other morning, and, after
listening for some time to a very mo-
notonous whistle, came to the conclusion
that the sound came from his own brain,
and was caused by excessive smoking.
He resolved to give up the filthy habit.
The noise not ceasing he arose and took
y dose of bromide in the hope of getting
rid of the annoying sensation. A little
later he discovered that the whistling
came from the lake and not from his
head. The anti-tobacco resolutions were
refused second reading. Then the
fear that there was a steamer on fire
took possession of his mind, and he
hastened down to the bay only to find
that the cause Of the unusual disturbance
which he had taken bromide to allay
was fog whistle. Had he not discov-
cred the extra-cranial source of the
whistling the fog whistle on the island
might have cured an inveterate smoker,
and new and novel application of
coast warnings would have been found.

A Colorado Miners Ride TO q Terrible
Death.

At 5he Running Lode, in Gilpin
County, Col, yesterday, John Schufiier
pushed out one of the ore.cars without
orders from the boss, and showed it
along until the incline was reached,
where he did not stop to attach the
rope and signal the engineer that all
was ready. AS rule, three men had
been going out with the Car, and he
was doubtless under the impression that
his imperative duty had been perform
ed by some one else. But no other at
tache of the mine was with the car
When the incline was reached and the
head of the car was Just ready to start
on its frightful run he jumped on the
top of the ore and started on the ride
to death. The journey was short.
The unfortunate man did not have
time to hardley realize the terrible mis-
take he had made. There was no es-
cape. 10 jump from the car was GER
tain death. He rode on. Like a fash
the car went on its way. The bottom
was reached, and poor John Schuffier
shot through the dump like bullet.
The car went on over and landed twen-
ty feet away.
Fellow -laborers rushed to the bottom
of the dump. They lifted the mangled
and crushed man from amidst the ore
and rocks. They bent over him.
They called him by name But it was
no use. He was dead. Life was gone
before they reached him. Every bone
in his body probably was broken. The
remains were covered with blanket
and on the shoulders of his friends he
was taken to those who had seen him
leave few hours before the very pic
ture of robust manhood and the per
sonifcation of health.

Six years ago an eccentric Spaniard
was in Keolsuk. He died In Spain
last August. He had an only child, a
girl II years old, and he wanted her
brought up a Protestant. In his
eccentricity he named George Bland,
a colored blacksmith, of this city, her
guardian, and he made contract with
priest In Spain for carrying out his
will. 1t provides that the priest shall
receive $68,O0O in case the conditions
are fulfilled, otherwise nothing.

How a Newspaper Went For Res.
taurant.
Arkansaw Traveller.

ArKunsdW IIuNelef,l
The proprietor of an Arkansaw res
taurant advertised in the local news
paper, and refused 10 pay the bill at
the end of the month, declaring that
he had realized no benefit. aud that he
would not pay for what he did not re-
ceive. The newspaper man remon-
strated. and the restaurant man ordered
him out of the house. The next is.
sue OF the paper contained few para
graphs which did not prove uninterest
ing to the restaurant man. A couple
of them we're as follows:
"This world las ever been filed with
spitefal rivalry. The man who started
the report that he had found Cat hair
in the hash at Meckleton's restaurant,
is unquestionably SANDER, We have
eaten at this restaurant, and we can
truthfully say that we never saw cat
hair in the hash nor dog nair in the
soup. Another man regardless Of
truth, declared on the street yesterday
that he had found three crlckets and a
horse.fy in one of Meckleton's biscuits
Another paragraph said: "Meckle-
toms restaurant is the best house in
town. Don't believe the slanderous
rumor that he uses hospital sheets for
table cloths"
The restaurant man was so mad that
he wanted to shoot the editor, but
cooling down little, he swore out a
warrant for his arrest on charge of
SANDER. The editor was arraigned be-
fore the court, but the just judge after
hearing the evidence and reading the
paper, dismissed the case. The restau-
rant hasn't had but one customer since

Farm and Farming.

= An economical farmer says: "This
is what I do with nv slops: 1 have
most of it carried and put on the stable
manure, which is under cover. This
makes the manure in better order for
use in three months than it otherwise
would in nine months. l also keep
box or barrel near the kitchen packed
full of short straw and dust such as
come from the tanning mill etc. Into
this barrel or box. are thrown small
quantities of wash and dishwater. The
water drains through, leaving the SUBJ
stance in the srtaw and dust. When
it is fully charged, moved it away and
supply another box. You will be sur
prised to see what q valuable feeder
you will acquire during the year. This
substance is generally thrown on the
ground, which finds its way into the
we'll, is drank, and followed by sick
ness in the family.
A farmer who objects to SO much
fancy and desires agricultural societies
to offer increased premiums for the
class of horses that are actually needed
upon the farm writes it is time our ag.
ricultural societies gave more attention
to encouraging farmers to produce
horses of strength and size. 1t is true
that many Of them do this now, but
the majority of the lists of premiums
offered give much greater prominence
to the racing horse than to the worker.
1t is very well to have horses of good
speed on the farm, but it is much more
necessary to have those that can pull
and stand hard work than those of run
ming qualities only. The society that
does not encourage this class of horses
in preference to. the racers, Is not do
