who happened to be of the feminine
gender, told the page who brought the
card to show the lady to the marble
room. He went out there few min
utes later, expecting, of course. TO be
recognized by the lady who had called
on him. None of the three ladies in
the room came forward, so he politely
asked each of them in turn if she
wished 40 see Senator Perkins," Re-
ceiving negative to each inquiry, he
started back to his seat in the cham

ator with card in his hand and per-
picked look on his face, he asked him
if he were looking for some one.
"Yes," the. senator replied, II . re-
ceived this card, and told the page | /,

she isn't there.

The Indian Mohammedans heard that
The caliph had triumphed over the in

the Mohammedans of Delhi and Oudh,
just as now it has gone to the heads of
the tribesmen of the frontier. In both
cases it urged them, regardless of all
consequences, to strike blow for the
faith. The descriptions that have been
given of the Greek war to the frontiers
men are probably not unlike those of
the Crimea that were given all over the
Mohammedan world. The sultan, it
was said, was attacked by the Russian
dogs. Not caring to demean himself
by lighting them in person he sent for
his slaves, the French and the English.
to drive them from his borders. This
actthe sultan's Christian slaves faith
fully performed and for their LOYALTY
he showed them some favor. But the
caiiph, the shadow of God, not to the
tools he used, was due to destruction Of
the accursed Russians.
That was the story told throughout
Asia Minor, North Africa and Central
Asia, and piously believed. Doubtless
the Afridis and the men of all the val
leys and deserts from Quetta to Chitral

gard to the Greek campaign, The

The number of asteroids discovered
up to the present date is 423. A num-

the supposed new planet is really new
or only an old one rediscovered.
Oil can be automatically fed to rap
idly revolving shafts and pulleys by
new attachment for ordinary oil cups,
consisting of tube curved the way the
shaft runs, with screw cap at the in

to receive air as the wheel turns, thus
forcing the oil through the cup instead
of letting it run to the top of the cup

1t is supposed that Centauri, one
OF the brightest stars of the southern

miles. At the inconceivable rapid rate
at which light is propagated through
space, it would require more than four
years to reach the earth from this star.
