4 Eevoltins sIosIem Ceremony.

In former times foreigners used to throng to Cairo tO sec that revolting ceremony called the Dosah, which is a part of the celebration of the Mulid en Nebi, or the prophets birth day. They may not sec itmore, because is Vas owing to Mr. Butler and his arguments that tl-e hEedive abolished it. The DOsah was minor JuSgerEaut business. For a distance of JOJ yards deryishes would lie fiat on the ground, making living pavement as wide as the length Of a man. and over this human road bed the Sheik of the dervishes would Tide on horseback. 1t was q stout col. ia the way the author describes the horse. and the sheiis was no light weight.
 Tho devOut Nohammedun believes that bv the miraculous intervention of the prophot- nobody is hurt, but Nr. Butler declares that many died from injuries thus received and were sen: out of Cairo to be buried. The sheik of the dervishes is believed to % from one faint into another on this horrible Occcas- ion. 3lr Butler examined the horses feet and found that he was shod in the eastern manner-a round iron plate covering inc bottom of the hoof. It is due to Mr Butler to state that remonstrating with the Khedive there was no second Dosah.-New York Times Book Review.

IRE svefsge person outside the Brii- ish islands assumes that Scotland is at least moderately content with its politi- cal status. This, however, is not strictly correct Scotland, indeed, through its Home Rule Association, shows that it has many grievous wrongs which de- msnd redress. Of the 67O members of the House of Commons, England and Wales have 495, Ireland lOa snd Scot land only 72. According to population Ireland is over and Scotland under rep resented. Of these seventy-two, but forty are residents of Scotland, half of the others being London barristers, who secure professional advancement with out expense by representing a Scottish constituency, As the association ssys, Our country appears to have become the happy hunting ground of the Eng fish carpet-bsgger." Owing to this con- ditiOn of things the interests of Scotland are neither protected nor understood. AbC occOOAohAOA ClbCc aOlR Ol grievances, among which are unjust taxation, unfair distribution and expend- iture of public revenue, perpetustiOn ofstrife among Scottish churches, alter nation of the laws of Scotland to suit English public opinion, grave defects in the land laws, deterioration of Scott ish parliamentary representation, and the annoyance and e1penss arising from the administration of Scottish legal bus mess in London. A demand is made, therefore, for the restoration to Scotland of National Legislation and Execu- tive. The existence O; these evils is uD
 dou5telly one of the reasons why Scot land IS such 8 warm friend of Ireland ID the home rule movement in thst cOun- try. When Ireland succeeds to this pro- iect. perhaps even before that. the Brit ish Parliament will be formally call ed upon to grant a similar measure of justice to Sootland.-Globe Democrat.

JHE coming Territorial Legislature should pass 8 law regulating the build ing aud maintaining of barbed wire fences throughout the Territory. As they are now constructed the cattle run uing ct large on the ranges are contin- lally iDiaring themselves by running against the cruel points; the wound often resulting fatally. Many of the eastern states have passed laws compelling the owners Of these fences to maintain st less! one line of board at the top of the fence SO that the cattle can see the ob- ssruction. This Is not only wise but 8 humane law and should be adopted in Arizona where there are so many miles of this fence. The courts of the eastern states are full of damage suits brought about on this account, and if some of cur rsuchers who have suffered damages from having the,r cattle injured by req son Of these fences, should test their right to recover, they would no doubt succeed.

As our ditch enterprises are becom- ing more important the vital question ot prior appropriation of water from the natural running streams should be thoroughly investigated by the owners of these several water rights and the jaw thoroughly understood. The courts Ot California and Nevada are full of the question and unless steps are taken to make other laws more definite on cer- tain Poiais, endless litigation will be the result. Oar law IS taken from the old Mexican asequis law while the Cslifor- man ihHs grown up from the customs and local laws of the early miners, now and then injected with little of the common law of England, which was en- iirlly inapplicable to the condition of the country.

The Indian School.

Yesterday a representative of the Star visited the new building O: the Indian Industrial School and found that the carpentering work is about finished and the lathing is nearly all on, and clustering will begin probably next week. The outside painting has been completed, so that the building presents an attractive appearance. The site of the building in undoubtedly one of the very best points to get a good view of Tucson and its surroun lings. Torches surround the building on the ground floor with balconies surround ing the second floor from which de lightful views of the Santa Cruz valley can be had as far as the eye can reach. The altitude makes the air pure and refreshing, which will make the school building, very pleasant for the little dusky pupils.
 The kitchen and laundry depart ment are about completed and con sist of an independent two-story adobe building with a cellar underneath This building is twenty feet distant from the main building.
 The construction of the buildings Is under the supervision of MT. L. M. Prince He has eight or ten good carpenters and builders under him who have pushed the work from the beginning with rapidity.
 MT. Prince thinks the building will be ready for the occupation of the In- dian pupils in month or six weeks, so that 1t will be observed those in charge of the Indian Industrial School mean business-Star.

An English uv,rrocarbon Engine.

pleasing launch--known as of the Zephyr type"-is now built in England, the motive power of which is obtained from a highly volatile hydrocarbon, one of the early products in the distiAation of petroleum, selling in this country for about ten cents a gallon Within five minutes after lightning up the launch is ready to start at full speed, and, the action being automatic, the boat can run at a speed of from seven to eight miles an hour for several hours without any at- tention whatever being required, except ing only occasionally lubricating the bear ings. The entire central portion of the boat Is available for passenger accommo- dation, giving double accommodation as compared with steam. There is very large saving in weight of machinery owing to the very small size of the vapor generator. and this reduction ip weight renders lighter scantling of huh admissi- be, so that the launch weighs only a ton, machinery included. The full sup ply requires no attention whatever, be- ing perfectly self acting all hand firing being abolished, and owing to absence of coal the whole arrangement is ex- tremely cleanly. Full speed Is main tained with a consumption of one and a quarter gallons of the hydrocarbon per hour.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The Early Needle.

It Is impossible to say who were the in ventors of needles; for at very early period rude attempts were made among various un civilized nations to form such an article out of bone, ivory or like materials, in order to stitch together their clothes Doubtless our first mother employed such an instrument. along with the fiber of plants, etc, as thread. But fine needles of metal were in common use among the more refined nations of anti quity, as the Hindoos, Chinese, Egyptians, Assyr:ans, Hebrews, Greeks and Romans PlinY mentions the ladies of his day as hay ing<needles of bronze for sewing and knit ting; and numbers have been found in Egyptian tombs that must have been made some 4,000 years ago. The steel needle was first manufactured in Spain, where the pro cess of making it was long kept secret, whence 1t was first imported into England in the time of Queen Elizabeth In 1850 Chris topher Greeuing. at Long Creeden, in Buck inghanshire, erected needle works, and thus began the manufacture of an article for which England Is famed throughout the world

After Gen Grant resigned from the army to become president he promoted Lieut. Gen. Sherman general of the army. h 1869, how ever, the ranks and titles of general of the army and lieutenant general were limited to the officers then holding them, namely, Sher- man and Sheridan. Thus when Gen. Sher- man was retired in 1884, the rank of general expired with him, and Lieut. Gen Sheridan was not, and could not be promoted then, However, by the act of congress on June 1, 1888, the rank was revived, Sheridan was promoted, and so will be the last general of the army of the United States
