When men began to bury their dead
they did so in the firm belief in another
life, which life was regarded as the ex-
act counterpart of this present one. The
unsophisticated savage, holding that in
that equal sky his faithful dog would
bear him company, naturally enough
had the dog in question killed and
buried him, in order that it might fol-
low him to the happy hunting ground.
Clearly, you can't hunt without your
arrows and your tomahawk; so the flint
weapons and the trusty bow accom-
panied their owner in his new dwelling
place.
The wooden haft, the deer sinew bow
string, the perishable articles Of food
and drink have long since decayed
within the damp tumulus; but tho
harder stone and earthenware articles
have survived till now, to tell the story
Of that crude and simple early faith.
Very crude and illogical, indeed, it was,
however, for it is quite clear that the
actual body of the dead man was
thought of as persisting TO live a sort of
underground life within the barrow. A
stone hut was constructed for its use;
real weapons and implements were
left by its side, and slaves and wives were
ruthlessly mastered, as still in Ashantee,
in order that their bodies might accom-
pany the corpse of the buried master in
his sub~terranean dwelling. In all this
we have clear evidence of a very incon-
sistent, savage, materialistic belief, not
indeed in the Immortality of the soul,
but in the continued underground life
of the dead body.

Samuel Sagasser, better known as "Old
Sam, - was on yesterday arraigned on the
charge of being a vagrant and was sent
up for a period of twenty days. This
penalty inflicted on Old Sam is not in
reality intended as a punishment for any
thing, for it is doubtful whether he ever
Intentionally did anything wrong in his
life, but it is meant and intended more
for his own benefit than for any other
reason. The old man got so badly de-
moralized that it was necessary to do
something with him and it is thought hat
a reasonable trip to the county Jail will do
him good, and at the expiration of his
term of service he will probably be in a
better condition mentally and physically.

About one month ago THE LEADER
contained an account of some desperate
and ferocious attacks made upon travel
lers between Cheyenne and Fort Collins
by a dangerous stallion, which was then
roaming at large about half way between
the two points. In the article alluded to
mention was made of the fact that G.. A.
Emery and wife. while driving to Fort
Collins, had been attacked by this horse,
and also still another party had been as
sailed by the vicious animal, and the
horse he was driving kicked to the
ground. One of the New York ~illustra-
ted papers makes these incidents, or rath-
er the first one, the subject OF an ~illustra-
ton, in which the vicious horse is shown
as kicking the vehicle containing a lady and
gentleman and very narrowly missing the
former. The account of the affair as pub
lished in The LEADER also appears in the
paper alluded to word for word as it was
originally published in this paper.

A Persian workmai.

What implements they used in ancient
times we know not, but to-day the Per
sian artisan has neither rule, compass,
nor spirit-level. He is commonly ignor-
ant OF the fact that the the diameter is
the third Of the circumference; his GIN
let's and augers are prods turned by q
bow string; he has no Ratchet, but only
an adze, and no carpenters bench. If
he desires to plane a board he puts it
on the ground, and if he would saw a
block of wood he squats on the ground
himself and holds it between his toes,
drawing the saw toward himself.
Wood is scarce, and with such tools
hard to work.
II pillars are to be constructed, the
trunks Of poplars are raised and simply
stripped Of their branches and bark.
They may be crooked, but that matters
not; the master workman tells his sub
ordinate to shape the timber into an
elegant pillar with catch. Depending
only on his eye and the skill of his
hand, this simple artisan applies the
plaster round the trunk in the form of
a iuted pillar and crowns it with a
graceful capital and c~ornice, showing a
lively inventive fancy. If judged by
the strict application of rule and com
pass, these decorations may sometimes
deviate slightly from a straight line,
but OF fhe artistic beauty Of the concep-
ton there can be no question. Walls
and ceilings are ta~stefully decorated in
like manner

The holiday attractions at the business
house of Zehner, Jackson x Buechner,
Sixteenth and Ferguson streets, are daz-
cling and ~bewildering. Brilliant dia-
monds, sapphires, emeralds, and other
precious gems, fash in the most tempt
ing way before the eyes of the purchaser.
Gold watches cf the most exquisite
workmanship, hut especially those charm
ing Swiss time pieces, made by Patek
PHILIPPE. of Geneva, are displayed at
prices running from 1926 down to $40.
Elegant jewelry sets there are in stock,
from a superb diamond and sapphire set
at 81 800 TO more modest but handsome
sets at SIS. Diamond bracelets flash
their value from $500 to $3.50. and soil
taires from 5000 to 800. The ladies' find
here silver tea-sets worth from $500 to s25;
French clocks imported by the firm, Paris
and Vienna novelties in bronzes. The
great feature ofthe house is its manufac-
turing department, the only one in fact in
the territory, supplied with the best mod
ern machinery for producing the most
elaborate and expensive designs at short
notice. This firm succeeded Joslin x
Park. who established the house in 1867,
and their especial pride is the fact that
they sell no snide goods, have no plated
iewelry. and no gold in stock under four
teen carat fine.

THE CIGARMAKERs.
Eleven Carloads Of That Gran Pas
Through Cheyenne for Frisco.

A special train of eleven cars arrived in
Cheyenne from the East last evening at
7:30, all Of them loaded with cigarmakers
who are en- route TO San Francisco, under
the guidance and supervision Of j. Wolf,
representing the San Francisco branch Of
the International Cigarmakers' Union.
There were nearly, il not quite, 400 on
the train, though no two of them aboard
the train agreed az to the exact number.
These cigarmakers are to take the place
of the Chinese now employed in the yari-
Gus cigar manufactures IN San Francisco
aud who will be invited to step down
and out as soon as this company arrives.
They are all under contract to work for
the period of a year, for which they are to
get 81. so per week more than the China
men have been getting. A large share, il
not the majority, of those who passed
through the city last evening were foreign
ers, Germans principally, and were alto
gether a very fine looking set Of men.
Their stay in the city last evening was
not very long, but in the short delay made
here many of them availed themselves Of
the opportunity to come up town and get
a glass Of beer and perhaps something
stronger, Some thirty or more of this
class called at the Tivoli and other places
in the immediate vicinity where it was as
certained by those who conversed with
them that they do not expect to better
their condition very much by going TO
San Francisco, but as they had never been
there and this opportunity presenting to
get a cheap ride to that place, they con-
cluded to avail themselves of the chance.
The cigarmakers were the recipients of
impromptu ovations and receptions at
Omaha and other points ON the line be-
tween here and Chicago. Only ninety of
the number constituted the party which
originally started from New York City.

sausrkraut from Germany.

Madgeburg sauerkraut is extensively
imported from the Elbe city at this sea-
son of the year. OF genuine German
sauerkraut one Philadelphia firm claims
TO import nearly 200 tierces a year, and
two others also brought over large
quantities. The imported kraut is OF
superior quality and more carefully put
up than the homemade article. The
cabbage is picked for the purpose, only
the most tender leaf being taken. 1t is
spiced with caraway seed and prepared
with genuine wine vinegar, which gives
it that pleasant flavor which distin-
cuisines it from the rather strong-smell-
ing, though sweet-tasting, American
article.

The launch OF the Eureka at one of
the Brooklyn yards, the other day, is
one step in a notable experiment for do
ing away with steam in naval propul-
sion. The main idea in the new system
is to drive the vessel forward or back
ward by the expulsion of gas from the
submerged bow and stern against tho
water. The idea is not a new one
among scientists, but it is claimed that
in the Eureka it has been made practical
for the first time.
The vessel itself is of about seventy
five tons, being 100 feet by twelve. with
a depth of seven feet. On each side,
about eight feet forward of the stern
post, are two Uncovered ports, con
nected with chambers. There are also
two forward ports of the same kind, and
through these the discharge from a cen
trail point, those from the stern for driv-
ing the vessel forward, and vice versa.
while a simultaneous discharge from q
forward port and aft starboard cham
Der, and vice versa, will urn her sharply
round in either direction. The engine
only takes up six feet of room, and only
enough power is required to compress
air into a steel globe two feet in dame
eeii in0o nniSh 'aPofiAou pouiVioum HAS
been forced.
The explosive material TO be used has
been kept a secret, but This New York
sun intimates it is a gas generated from
oil and ignited by electricity. Should
the experiment prove successful its ap-
plication will be watched with great in
terest. 1t seems a daring move to try
to dethrono King Steam, but invention
grows bold in these days, and he would
be rash who should say that people will
not o be exploded across the At
lantic.

sanitary Matters In ssotisad.
fck $3.50. H-

Tho Scotch are a hardy race, and IL is
well for them that they are so; for their
dwellings are in many districts in a
truly horrible condition, and those
whose duty it is to remedy this state Of
al airs appear to be thoroughly careless in
the matter, Some striking observations
on this point are made by tho inspector
and public health officers of the northern
Highland district in Scotland in his
half-yearly report just issued. The
public health act, which was passed
nearly eighteen years ago, can, he re-
marks, be hardly said to be in operation
except in a few places. The local au-
thorities in rural districts are really
Indifferent on the subject of sanitary
matters, and seem we'll content to leave
things as they are-undissturbed.
In a large number Of instances, more
especially in remote places in the high
lands and inlands, II is notorious that
there are all manner of accumulations
OF the most abominable description al
nearly every house, within as well as
outside the walls; but. as some of tho
persons who should take action for the
purpose Of having all these unwhole-
some things removed are probably
themselves equal offenders to a greater
or less extent, it seems utterly hopeless
to expect them to enforce thorough san
itary reforms of any kind. 1t is not
surprising that under such conditions
typhoid and typhus fevers and other.
forms of disease should be of frequent
occurrence; it is more surprising that
any person should escape.
The only explanation suggested by the
inspector is, that possibly the poisons
arising from Sc many forms of pollution
with and without the houses are counter
acted by the constant burning of the
open fires usually placed in the center
Of the houses, and by the abundance of
mountain and sea air which is admitted
by the open and ill-ftting doors. 1t is
not impossible hat the dense clouds of
p~eat-smoke in which the people contin-
ually live may have some salutary anti
septic properties. Perhaps, again, on
the homeopathic principle, one poison
kills another, and thus the various
smells conteract each others effects.
