honorably discharged. having had twenty
continuous years OF military life. fought in
more than one hundred engagements in al
most all quarters OF the globe and estab-
lished for himself an army record that is
well-nigh without rival.

Frey'S long career as Il sOluitr Is tit TACT
that he escaped almost without wound.

o~atn ana ~uue succession or caIfphs.
The Sunni believe that there is one inn
mortal God, whose works are without
beginning or end, and that He will
be visible to the souls of the blessed;
while the Shiahs deny the Immortality
of the soul and maintain that the CO.
existent principles of Zoroaster will
forever contend for the mastery. With
regard to the prophets successors, the
Sunnis claim that the lawful successor
of Mohammed was Abu Bekr and after
him Omar Osman and Ali nephew and
son-in-law of Mohammed); the Shiahs,
however, reject the first three and hold
that Ali was the only legitimate sue
ceSsor.
Shiahs pray but three times day,
and enjoin pilgrimages to Nejef, Ker-
bella, Kazimain, Meshed (Persia), Sa-
mara and Kun, as well as to Mecca
and Medina, Sunnis make pilgrimages
only to the two latter cities and pray
five times a day. From this it can be
readily understood that the circum-
stance of the Turks being in possession
of the shrines of Nejef (Meshed AID,
Kazimain and Kerbela is most displeas-
ing to devout Shiahs.-BlacBwood's

deed TO coast swiftly down the icy
slope, and what shouts of ringing
laughter as the sleds flew down the
! hill.
Young and old seemed to be having
the gayest time possible. Big boys on
double runners, with rosy cheeks and
sparkling eyes, turned the sharp cor
ner at the end of the hill to shortly help
drag the heavy carryall up to the top
again.
The sun had almost set, and its rosy
light filled the street, but before any
had started to go home man driving a
large load of wood began to ascend the
icy path. The sleds steered out of the
way as the poor horse tried almost m
vain to go on.
Suddenly he stopped, for he could go
on no further. The road was so slip
perry that in trying to walk his hind
legs slipped from beneath him. The
man seemed enraged and began whip
ping thespoor creature. AS the horse
could not go on the man struck the
harder. Then little girl, Amy by
name, got off her sled, and, stepping up
to the man, said, politely: Couldn't
help you with your horse, sir? The load
of wood seems very heavy for him."
The man looked very much surprised,
but stopped Immediately. Amy went
up to the horse, patted his nose gently,
and whispered kindly in his ear. A
number of boys were taking a few of the
logs off the cart, and transferring them
to their sleds to drag up the hill.
Amy then led the horse along, for she
was very gentle, and the noble creature
was perfectly willing to obey her. The
man walked along and really felt much
ashamed, as he ought. At last they
reached the top, and the boys put back
the wood as the load was not too heavy
for level. AS the children all babe
each other good night to go home, the
man turned around, saying: MANY
thanks to sc, my lads, and to the little
missy" which showed how he felt.

THE KARAlM JEWS.
One Way by Which Russians snub Ortho-
dox Hebrews.


The Karaim Jews number 1900 or s.,
600, and live principally in the Crimea.
They speak a Tartar dialectamong them
selves, and ethnologically are much
more like Tartars than Semites, says
the Saturday Review. Their own le-
gends, in fact, permit the assumption
that they were Khazars, and were con-
verified to Judaism in the eighth century.
Their form of Judaism differs from that
of the 100000 or more orthodox Rus
sian Jews in rejecting the Talmud and
traditional theology altogether, and
combining itself strictly to the Mosaic
revelation. 1t has been favorite amuse-
ment with the Russians for generations
to pretend the greatest admiration and
affection for this obscure little tribe.
Nine. Novikof had her joke on the
subject in London when she gravely
assured an interviewer some years ago
that there never had been law Of any
kind issued in Russia against the Jews.
When this amazing assertion was ques-
toned, she coolly explained that she
referred to the Karaim Jews, as in Rus
STA they did not consider the disciples of
the Talmud were Jews at all. Inasmuch
as the Karaimites constitute only two
thousandth part of the Jewish race, if,
indeed, 1t be conceded that they belong
to it all, the insolence of the Russian
attitude toward them is peculiarly ex-
asperating to Hebrews in general, and
the spectacle of their being brought for
ward at Moscow as the sole representa-
tives of Israel will smart and rankle
just as the genial Slavonic character
desires that it should.

The Squirrel, Owl and Mice, Also the Re-
Elections of n Bluejay.
1t was in late summer and the owl sal
upon branch looking very wise and
doing nothing, while the squirrel
busted himseh with the nuts lying
about on the ground, gathering them
expeditiously and slowing them away
in hollows and holes.
Winter came by and by and with it's
sharp cold and deep snow, but still the
owl sat upon the branch looking wise
and doing nothing. The squirrel jeered
at him, thinking that the owl must be
hungry and starving, because the bird
had not been provident one. Each day
the squirrel grew fatter, but the ow'
did not change, which the squirrel
thought to be due to the feathers stuck
out by the owl in his false pride.
When it was at last between fall and
spring time, the blue jay one day saw the
wise owl leave its perch on the branch
and seize the fat, provident squirrel by
the neck and eat him, after which the
owl returned to the branch, and sat
upon it, looking wiser than ever, and the
blue jay wondered if it was better to be
provident like the squirrel, wise like the
owl, or lucky like the mice that there
after ate of the squirrels store.

Brockelmann was Thiele's second in

the criticism as an insult. He chal-

decided the doctor was under no obli-
cation to accept the challenge. This
decision angered Thiele. He was deter
mined TO have duel at any price. So
he sat down and wrote what, to his Ger

NEW STATE SEALS.
Wyoming and Utah Have Recently Had
Theirs Made.

The states of Wyoming and Utah
have recently had their seals made, and
are now affixiDg them to all public
documents emanating from the govern
or or secretary of state, says the Wash
ington National Tribune. That of Wy
oming represents pedestal showing
on the front an eagle resting upon a
shield. Upon the shield are engraved
a star, and the figure "a" being the
number of Wyoming in the order of adj
mission to statehood. Standing upon
the pedestal is the draped figure of a
woman modelled after the statue of
"The Victory" at the Louvre, from
whose wrists hang the links of a broken
chain. In the right hand she holds q
staff, from which floats banner bear
ing the words Equal Rights" This
suggests the political position of a
woman in this state. On either side of
the pedestal, standing at it's base, are
figures IMPLYING the live stock and
mining industries of Wyoming. Be
hind the pedestal, and in the back
ground, are two pillars, each support
ing lighted lamp, signifying the light
of knowledge. Around the pillars sup
porting these lamps are scrolls bear
ing the words "Live Stock" "Grain,"
"Mines" and "Oil." At the base of the
pedestal in front. are the figures 1862"
$780," the former signifying the or
ganization of the territory of Wyoming
and the latter the date of it's admission
to statehood.
The seal of the state of Utah is well
composed. An eagle holds in its claws
six arrows and Norman shield. This
shield bears hive on n pedestal, about
which the bees are humming. The
word Industry" is emblazoned across
the top Of the shield and the figures
"1s47" are shown at the lower point.
Behind the shield are crossed two flags
OF the United States. Around the out
er edge of the shield are the words:

Six thimbles and two peas in the

however smart and wideawake they

insiders have the concoction of the vari-

original capitalization, which practical
ly determines their future value, but,
says the National Review, they have
the entire management of them. They
can decide which of the half-dozen is to
pay the big dividends and which are to
draw blanks. They have all the initia-
tive, do all the manipulating, and can
arrange every new scheme to suit them
selves. They might even strip q COM

The yak, or wild OK of Tibet, has
sufficient spirit to turn and attack a

it would prove a dangerous enemy.

HUNTING A BEAR.

Audubon Describes a Queer Exploit Near
the Arkansas Missouri State Line.
In his study of birds, Audubon spent
much of his life with the Indians, and
he often joined them in their sport.
His Journal contains accounts of many
an adventure with his savage friends.
The bear-hunt which he describes was
made near the Mississippi, in Arkansas
or Missouri.
I was invited by three hunters to a
bear-hunt. A tall, robust, well-shaped
. fellow assured me that we should have
some sport that day, for he had discov.
cred the haunt of a bear of large size
and he wanted to meet him face to face.
We four started to see how the man
would fulfill his boast.
About half mile from the camp he
said he perceived the tracks of the bear,
though could see nothing; and we
scrambled on through the canebrake
until we came to an immense decayed
' log, in which he said the bear was.
I saw the mans eyes sparkle with Joy.
His rusty blanket was thrown off his
shoulders, and his brawny arms swelled
with blood as he drew his scalping-
knife from his belt with flourish which
showed that fighting was his delight.
The hunter told me to climb small
sapling, because bear cannot climb
this, while it can go up large tree with
the nimbleness of squirrel. The two
other Indians seated themselves at the
entrance, and the hero went in boldly.
All was silence for few moments,
when he came out and said the bear was
dead, and might come down. The In
dams cut long vine, went into the hol-
low tree, fastened it to the animal, and,
with their united force, dragged the
bear out ] really thought this was On
