Prisoners in the East.

In civilized warfare the taking Of
prisoners is the giving of a pledge Of
honor. When quarter is offered and
accepted the life spared becomes sa-
cred. A mutual contract is establish.
ed. The captive promises not to take up
arms again till the end of the war; the
captor for the same length of time TO
respect his prisoners personal safety.
The confinement may be rigorous, the
treatment harsh, but the obligations
which the conqueror undertakes are
punctually fulfilled. Instances are on
record of men losing their own lives in
defense OF their prisoners. This spirit
of chivalry is common to all valiant
peoples, and in the east it has found at
times most brilliant expression. Sara
cen Emirs held our crusading knights
to ransom, and treated them during
their captivity with such pompous
consideration, snch refinement of
luxury, that the hostage must have
often proved a very costly guest.
With what magnificent presents tie
prisoners of Indian chiefs have been
dismissed to their homes. Again and
again in Mohammedan history princely
generosity toward an enemy taken in
battle has won unwilling clans over to
the green banner and healed the scars
of hereditary feuds. But these are
the exceptions to the rule. For Orient
al warfare is still savage in spirit, and
eastern soldiery are ruthless. When
Roberts guns burst upon the camp by
Candahar, and Ayoob Khan turned to
fly through the rice fields along the
Arghandab, his men still found time
to murder their prisoners. When Os-
man Digma's onslau -eht. smashed up
the square at Tamanieb the Arabs
paid no attention to the Egyptians
arms thrown down in token of SUBJ
mission, but massacred the PROSTATE
to the last man. One after another
garrisons have fallen into the mehdi's
hands, and the news has come of
dreadful and indiscriminate slaughter
mo prisoners" seems to be the dread
full order of the prophets camp. We
have heard, it is true, of native sisters
of charity whose lives were spared,
and also of some native priests, the
captives in each case being credited
with the presence of mind to beg for
life in order that they might live to
see the mehdi's millennium. Rumor
also states that one, if not two, Euro
peans are living IN the prophets camp,
the one acting as a doctor, the
other as an interpreter. Death, how
ever, has been the immediate fate of
all but these fow, whom accident
rather than design may be supposed to
have spared. London Telegraph.

Facts About Flour.

Flour is peculiarly sensitive to at
mospheric influences, hence it should
never be stored in a room with sour
liquids, nor where onions or fish are
kept, nor any article that taints the
air of the room in which it is stored.
Any smell perceptible to the sense
will be absorbed by flour. Avoid
damp cellars or lofts where free cir
culation of the air can not be obtained.
Keep in cool, dry, airy room, and
not exposed to a freezing temperature
nor to intence summer, or to artificial
heat for any length of time above 20
to 70 deg. Fahrenheit. 1t shonld not
come in contact with grain or other
substances which are liable to heat.
Flour should be sifted and the parti
cles thoroughly disintegrated, and
then warmed before baking. This
treatment improves the color and bak-
ing properties Of the dough. The
sponge should be prepared for the
oven as soon as the yeast has per-
formed its mission, otherwise fermen-
tation sets in and acidity results.

UNDER A CLOUD.
The Condition of the Inhabitants of the
Island of skye Not n Happy One.

The Condition of the Inhabitants of the
Island of skye Not n Happy One.
The island of Skye, whence the pretty ter
riers of that name derive their appelation
and origin. is anything bur pleasant place
to hive in. Il deriyes its name from an an
Cient Scandinavian word, signifying cloud,
and the inhabitants may be said to live I'M
der cloud in more senses than one. Rainy
days are the rule. The rainfall often
amounts to las inches in year. The isl.
and is fortyseven miles long and is from
seven 10 twenty-five miles wide. The coast
is so indented BY bays that no portion OF
the land is more than five miles from the
sea. The population is about 10000. A
large proportion of the peopleare fishermen.
Most Of the others are crofters-tenant
farmers having holdings less that eight
acres in extent-or eotters-persons having
no lane or regular occupation.
Cat an early age the island was held IN
high estimation by smugglers, as the numer-
Gus inlets and foggy atmosphere afforded
excellent facilities for carrying on business.
The leading lawful industry on the island
for many years was the manufacture OF
"kelp" from sea weed, which was plentifully
produced along the shores. The discovery
Of a method Of making soda from salt pat
an end to this business The people then
took to catching herring and raising pota
toes, which constitute the principal article
of food The chief articles OF export are
wool, which is generally washed clean by
the rain which falls on the sheep, and the
diminutiye shaggy dogs known as Skye
terriers
People are presumed to buy these crea-
lures out OF sympathy for the pers ons who
raise them. All the animals on the island
of Skye are Of diminutive size, and have the
appearance of being watersoaked.
