"Sot him there, where ne may see me.
Let me hold his little hand;
Keep my memory before him,
So that he may understand;
Let him look upon my visage

Let him close my eyes whom sightless
They shall stare at him in death,
net him look he may remember!
In the years to come, perchanee,
He may still recall his father,
Pack across the dim expanse.

Thou hast given me to seq
Him whose flesh is mine; pray thee

The wondering child bent over,
And he kissed his fathers brow.

There were tears and s0bs and signing,
But the father only smiled
And in death still gazed up fondly
At the prattling little child.

The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-07-28

The most ancient books are the
writings of Moses and the poems of
Homer and Hesiod The earliest sa-
cred writings of the Chinese are call
ed the Five Kings, king meaning
web of cloth, or the warp that keeps
the threads in their place. They
contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the ethics-political duties
of life. These sayings cannot be
traced to a period higher than the
eleventh century B. G.. The Three
Vedasn are the most ancient books
of the Hindoos, and it is the opinion
of Max Muller, Wilson, johnson and
Whitney that they are not older
than II centuries B. G.. The Zenda-
vesta of the Persians is the grand
est of all the sacred books next to
our Bible. Zoroaster, whose sayings
it contains, was born in the twelfth
century B. G. Moses wrote his PEN
tateuch Is centuries B. c., and,
therefore, preceded by 300 years the
most ancient Of the sacred writings.

The Razor Shell.

One of the most curious of the
many remarkable forms of marine
life is a species of mollusk called
the razor shell, which can excavate
holes in solid rocks. This creature
has no English name; its Latin
name is Pholas. 1t is found in wide
dyseparated regions of the earth,
but is most plentiful on the coast of
the Mediterranean, where limestone
abounds. It's frequently met with
on the coast OF Italy. where whole
limestone beaches are honeycombed
with their holes. 1t is still a disput-
cd point among naturalists as to
how this boring is effected. Some
think that the mollusk secretes
'ssome acid which softens the lime
sstone, but others think that the
holes are bored by the simple me-
chanical process of grinding. The
preponderance of opinion appears to
die with the latter view at present,
yet it is said that no one has yet
been able to catch the Pholas at
work

MAN RELIEVE GEN. MILES.
Commanding. General May &c Court
MartiaI"d and Dismissed,


Martial"sl and Dismissed.
Washington, Jan. 19.-Iherc is serious
'aik in administration circles as to the
.th.iS',bility Of COMMUNICATING Mai. Gen.
NILS, or relieving him from duty as COM
hh&nding general of the army.
1t IS manifest that the president and
Secretary Alger are not yet done with
Cen. Miles, and that il is proposed to take
acton of some kind against him. but
what its character will be will depend
largely on the Developments of the Eagan
lrlal and the report of the war investiga-
ton commission.
The administration is inccnsed at Gen.
Miles because Of the tenacity with which
he continued the beef investigation. not
outstanding that the war commission
found rs a result Of it's investigation that
the beef furnished to the army was good
and had not undergone chemical treat
mont.
The beef packers and members of con-
gress are stiffening the backbone of the
administration by use of their influence,
and it would not surprise friends of Gen
Miles If the matter should eliminate in
his relief or court-martial.
The administration also has not forgiv-
en- the general for the interview he gave
upon his return from Porto Rico. and
should he be court martialed this may be
a matter Of charges.
