What Is the ",Jehad?"

The editor of the Washington Post having been asked, by one of his subscribers "What is the Jehad?" replied as follows;
 Jehad or El Jehad signifies holy war of eXtermination to be carried out against infidels. Mahomet was the first to preach to his Arab con- patriots the duty of "Jchad" is of mutual strenuous effort" for the attainment of their common aim; for the prophet, knowing that the tribes never could become a power while they wasted their energies in internecine warfare, and at the same time that they could not be united under any master, sought to bring about national unity by binding them by that "common religious feel ing which really meant, as it so of. ten does, common interests, customs and supersttions. 1t was not till the time of "the great Haroun Alras chid," that the Jehad was revived upon grand scale. Every alternate year, with very few exceptions, this Prince made the pilgrimage to Mec- ca on foot, or he prosecuted a Jehad agalnst the enemies of Islam. The next general outbreak of Moham- medans against the Christians took place at the time of the Crusades, when the imminency of the common danger forced the Mussulmans into a union, and the Jehad was formally proclaimed in reply to the Christian movement of aggression. Since then the Jehad has been usually local declaration in time of extremity of war to the knife, as when in I76S the unsurling of the sacred banner against the Russians was attended by fearful outrages uron the Chris tan populations, During the war with the Russians in 1877 the Sultan threatened to unfurl the holy flag, but without the looked for effect.

We cannot afford to blnd ourself to the dead past, or be content to five only in reminlscence. Turning to the living present we see our path of duty laid out before us. Our duty to our selves and our children is insepara ble from our duty to OUT country. Patriotism is the highest virtue man can practice. Let us so live that when the order for our final discharge shall come, we can hear the voice of the great commander saying, "you carry with you to your last home the con scientiousness of duty faithfully per formed"

Patriotic Words.

At recent reunion of eX-confed crate soldiers held at Sedala, Mo, one of the old commanders gave ut terance to the following patriotic sentiment.
 We are now Q part of the great American nation, whose very union has been cemented by the battles we fought All our interests and all our feelings of patriotism center in this country. If we desire the hap piness of our children. we should teach them to honor, love and re were it, and be ever ready to defend it with their lives. But we should teach them that la:ge part of the glory of this country IS wrapped up in the history of the Confectionery. Ths great nation has not in all it's

Russian Liauor Law .

The liquor law of Russia IS far better than in the United States. Not more than one place where liquor is disposed of is allowed in any Rus sian village, and where two or three villages are within two or three miles of each other, one place where liquor can be had must suffice for tho sur rounding villages. The llquor is sold by the government through an agent, who IS held to account for ev- cry drop sold, and who receives only his official salary for his services. The agent is appointed by the com
 mon council from among the best men ill the place. He can sell food and wares at moderate profit on his own account. He is fined, impris. oned and dismissed if he permits any man or woman to get drunk on the premises, and if he lets the place become resort for drunken and dis orderly persons, he is fined and the place closed by the common council for such time as t sees fit. If the common council does not do it's duty honestl?, the general law steps in through it's agents and overhauls the council. --Pomeroy's Great West.

Cleansing a sillk Dress.

Take six tablespoonfuls of the best soft soap, or four tablespoonfuls of yellow bar soap, scraped into thin shavings with sharp knife and dis solved in just enough boiling water to melt 1t, four tablespoonfuls of honey, half pint of alcohol and a half a pint of hot water Beat all to froCh and spread the breadths of the dress, one at time, upon sheet, and with q sponge dipped into the mixture rub it over the silk, taking care to mark the soiled spots before it IS all wetted, SO they can have an extra rubbing. Dip each breadth into cold water as soon as it is cleans ed, sousing it up and down in the water so as to take out all the soap. suds, but do not wiring it out or crease it in the hands. Shake and snap the silk to clear it from the water and hang it out of doors until it is partly dry, then roll it in towel or sheet. Proceed in this way till all the parts of the dress are cleaned and partly dried, and iron them on the wrong side of silk, or over a newspaper, until perfectly dry Two persons can do the work much more satisfactorily than one, as the silk dries rapidly.-From the Country Gentleman.

Historical Apple.

Our old and esteemed friend w. $. Quartermous presented to us, one day last week, three specimens of the Black Apple of which he gave us the following history: In the year 1908 his grandfather, Jesse Rossen, removed from the state of Virginia to Harding county, Ky, and bought the place of one Kelly who had originally entered the land from tine government Upon this place was an apple orchard and among the trees growing therein was the Black apple, and from that place came, after several removals, the trees bearing the apples present. ed to us. It is a summer apple, ri penlng here the latter part of July. Of medium size, delicious flavor, and as black as coal. Nothing is known of it's origin. Arkansas Cleaner,

More ScheoI Land Wanted.

The following is the sixth section of the platform adopted by the re- cent republican convention for the third congressional district held at Conway:
 Resolved, That, whereas, the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by Abraham Lincoln, liberated in every Southern State greater nun Der of people than has ever been re- quired to live in any territory to en- title it to admission as State, and whereas, It has been the universal custom of the Republican party in admitting new states, to grant for school purposes not only the 16th but also the 36th section of public lands, and, whereas, we deem it but just, equitable and right that the Re publican party should make some provision to secure an additional per manent school fund for the benefit of the masses in the Southern States, where there is such additional popu- lation that should be educated, there. fore, we ask the Congress Of the Uni, ted States to grant to the State of Arkansas and other Southern States admitted on the same basis as this State, in addition to the l6th section already granted, the 36th section of the public lands tor school purposes, and when the Beth section has been entered, or otherwise disposed of, then the State be allowed to select other lands in lieu thereof.

Does It Pay?

The following from the Searcy Beacon is commended to the thought ful attention of voters in Western Arkansas:
 One day this week we heard a Searcy merchant, who once sold whisky, say he and others were dls. cussing the question, and their con clusion was that during ten years past the sale of hquor in White county would amount to $750,000. Ths amount would build a $50,000 University at the county seat and a S4OOO academy in each of the other twenty-five townships in the county, and then provide an endowment Of S6OO,OOO to pay teachers and buy books for all the children in the coun- ty' From an economical standpoint does the liquor traffic pay the people? {?

Got it Awfully.

A minister who went about talking spiritualism ventured up Tar river the other day and called at house whose mistress was very deaf. When the old lady finally opened the door the good man asked: "Are there any spiritual ists living here?" 'No," she replied, ''but they have got it awfullY over to the next house." and then slammed the door in his face.

Nearly two years ago, in Missouri, man drank half Q pint of liquor and got it out of the way, Then
 when raving drunk, he outraged a girl so that her life was despaired of, and his crime, committed while un- der the influence of half a pint of .iquor, cost the taxpayers of the of the county whers he resided, over 5000 total. Better have paid $42 for the destruction of that half pint of whisky, than to pay $7,000 in atonement for it's effects. At least, so It seems to us--but as we never use liquor we may be an incompe- tent jndge. -Pomeroy's Great West.

WOMAN.
HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN!

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
 By reason of her peculiar relations, and her peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled to suffer, not only her own ills, but those arising from the want of knowledge, or of consideration on the part of those with whom she stands connected in the social organi- zation. The frequent and distressing irregularities peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to degree which no language can express. In the man. sions Ofthe rich and the hovel of the poor alike, woman has been the patient victim of ills unknown to man, and which none but she could endure-and without remedy. But now the hour of her redemption has come. She need not suffer longer, when she can find re- lief in Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regu- lator. "Woman's Best Friend." Pre- pared by Dr. J.

The Chinese Bill vetoed.

President Arthur has vetoed the
Chinese bill. and deserves therefor the
thanks of all unpreiudiced and reason
able minded people. The main Obiec-
ton he offers To the bill is To the TWEEN
" years suspension of immigration,
which he believes to bc prohibitory,
and consequently violatiNe of the spirit
ot the treaty, and Il breach of national
faith He objects also to the demand
for system of personal registration
and passports as undemocratlc and
hostile To our institutions and he al
ludes to the omission of the act To pro-
vide for the transit to China of Chinese
subjects now residing III foreign coun-
tries. The veto message refers To the
alleged benefits to its industries de
rived by the Pacific slope from the
presence of the Chinese heretofore, eX
feet ON American commerce with China,
and suggests that the length of the
term should br made experimental
The President concludes his message
by remarking that the honor of the
country constrains him to object to the
passage of the bill.
The President has done we'll. He
has been urgently importuncd by del
egations from the Pacific coast to sign
the bill, and they have used every
argument in their power to that end
But the bill was too radical, too much
in opposition to the sentiment of ou
constitution. The President was con
WINGED of this fact, and had the cour-
age to say that he would not put hi,
name to il and make il law. If thu
bill is passed over his veto, the respon
sibility will not rest upOn him. Blu
the probability is that the bill, if no
set entirely aside, will he modified con
siderably and shOrn of its obiectiona
