The FaIth ofI.Inm.

LFrom the Contemporary Review.
 The faith of Islam is based, primarily, upon ths Koran, which is believed to have been delivered to the prophet at sundry times by the angel Gabriel, and upon the traditions reporting the life and works of the prophet, and, secondsrily, upon the opinions of certain distinguished theolo- gians of the second century of the Hegirs, especially, for the Sunnis, of the four Imsms, Hsnife, Shsfs, Malik and Hann- bel. The Shiites. or followers of Aali, re- iect these last, with many of the received traditions, and hold opinions which the great body of Moslems regard as heretI- cal. In addition to the two fold division of Sunnis and Shiites, and of the sects of the four Imsms, there are said to be several hundred minor sects.

CIo.est shave Of Then All.

Most of the New Hsmpshire men now visiting here, says the Capital of Wash ington, had an honorable record of ser vioe In the civil war, and when they meet their "reminiscences are often highly inter ssting. A group of them were telling re- gently of "close calls." One said:
 "I was talking with & comrade during sn engagement, when he suddenly felt of his side, ssying: T am shot' I advised him to go to the rear. He soon returned, holding the battered remnants of a silver watch on the stump of his second finger, bewailing It's dilspidsted condition-And the fact that the day before he had paid twenty-five dollars for the watch. The man had bsen standing with his finger over the watch pocket In his trousers, when along came the bullet and cut of the finger and spent its force in the works of the watch.
 "Lster in the day." continued the mar rator, 'I Jay down during some heavy fr- ing, with my forehead touching the butt of two elder brushes, when 6 bullet buried itself directly opposite my forehead"
 ''Ths closest call I ever saw" saId A man of forty five years' experience in the navy, who was with Porter during the civil war, "vas when shell came along and took of the hesd of the man next to me and stunned me for fifteen minutes. And vel, while these escapes were constantly occur. ring, other men seemed to be followed by q fatality, to be wounded at every engage ment."
 ''I think I had the closest shave a, you all, !" came from another of the group "The Governor of Maryland, who wac rn, friend, offered me the neutenArcy of i reziment then forming. told him, As had but one good eye, couldn't see f, dodge the bullets well enough.

A COOI, SCHEME.

The North Pole has been persistently sought, and all but the region right around it has teen pretty we'll explored. But few attempts have been made to reach the South Pole, and little is known about the South Polar regions. More will, however, be known about them if Dr. Fred A. Cook, of Brooklyn, New York, succeeds in finding out what he Is going after and then is able to come back and tell 1t. He has had ex- perience in cold places, having been 8 member of the Peary expedition. He in- tends to clear up some of the mystery that surrounds the South Pole. He has, as most of the explorers who go after the North Pole seem to have, 6 good plan. To be sure, the plans for such ex- plorstion usually look better before they are tried than after, but it may not be so with D.. Cooks. He intends to start from New York about the first of next September. The first stop will be at the Falkland Islands, to replenish the stock of coal and eatables. The next will be at come small island off Terra Louis Philippe, where a cache of provisions will be left, as also the bigger of his two life boats. Then, watching his chance, the doctor hopes to dodge through the floating ice-pscks and steam south as far into the Antarctic region as circumstances permit; then to lay up his ship in the most eligible harbor or cove that presents itself, go ashore and begin work. Meteorological observations will be taken regularly, and surveys, typographical and geologic, will be made. Hunting parties will bs started of at once, with orders to keep a sharp look out for fossils when not actually engaged in shooting birds, etc. If inland ice is found, 1t will be examined with special view to it, availability as highway. sledges will be built and the dogs will be exercised OF moonlight nights in short journeys. Al soon as the sun returns, the doctor hopeI to push south for two or three months over inland ice in sledges, taking @ small
 life-boat along, and to see sights and mak.

Dependent and delinquent children are well looked out for in New York city. In that city there are, besides the public in stitutions, twenty seven different institu- tions for the care of children which are under private management, but mainly supported by public funds, and there are 15, 900 inmates In these institutions. With regard to ten of these, containing 7,500 in- mates and receiving $s5O, 900 year from the city, there Is virtually no public con trol or supervision. The managers are at liberty to receive whom they please as in- mates, and to keep them until sixteen years of age, regardless of reasons why 1t might be better to place them elsewhere, and they are entitled to receive 50 much per capita for all the children under their charge from the city treasury. As the al- lowance Is regarded as sufficient for the maintenance of the children, there Is every temptation to increase the number of in- mates and to prolong their stay, for the actual cost of support per capita diminishes with the increase of numbers, while the public allowance does not.

Are any of the new-fangled washing compounds as good as the old fashioned soap ? Dobbins' Electric Soap has been sold every day since 1869 and is to-day EXACTLY the same in quality as then. It NEVER VARIES, and is ALWAYS the best. Do your clothes last as they used to? If not, then you are not using Dobbins' Electric. That is sure. And if not, wouldn't it pay you to use it and save clothes You are the judge. After it has been used and praised by a whole generation of women, it surely is not a new-fangled humbug that it would be risky to try. Nor is it an
 IMITA- of anything else. It stands iNliIE on it's own merits, unap-
