Olden Time ssRaimen1.~

In early Bible days richly embroider-
ed raiment was enumerated with the
gold. silver and other valuable property
of Il rich man. In that primitive age
Dame Fashion was mot the fickle god
dess she is at present, and the raj
ment" so frequently mentioned in the
Holy Scriptures descended from father
to son as valuable part Of the inh r.
itance. Raiment was often sent, With
gold and gems, as a present to digni-
taries.
1t took not months,s but years, to Or
nament some Of these garments, and
the gold thread so lavishly used in
embroidering them was real gold.
Moses describes the process of making
the gold thread that was used in orna-
menting the tabernacle. The habit Of
making presents of rare needlework Is
still common among eastern nations
who changed their customs so slowly.

Ratn and Mice and Large Animal

Rats and Mice @m@ Large Animals.
How many people are there who
know that elephants, rhinoceroses and
other large thick skinned animals have
formidable enemies In rats and micei
These small, rascally rodents have
found that the feet Of the elephant are
excellent eating and have no hesitation
In gnawing at them when the animal
lies down, when, owing to its confined
condition, it is not very well able to
defend itself against its puny enemies.
To protect these vast creatures it is
found necessary in most 'menageries to
keep terriers about the cages. These
little fellows very soon dispose Of the
pachyderm's tiny adversaries. 1t was
recently discovered in a well known
menagerie that the mice and rats had
been very busy with the hide of a rhj-
noceros. A Scotch terrier, Fanny, was
put into the cage of the huge beast, and
in tie first night she had killed no few.
er than twenty-seven rats. In few
days there were no rats left to nibble
the hide Of the pnor rhinoceros.

A Japnnese Hero.

recall to mind story of an officer
I'm the Japanese emperor's army which
was besieging fortress. It's number
was small and relieving army was
coming up. 1t was of immense mo-
ment that they should know how long
the fortress could hold out. II 1t must
eapitulate for want of supplies within
a week they could stay and win the
campaign for the emperor. A young
Japanese nobleman volunteered to go
into the fortress and ascertain how
long it could hold out. He disguised
himself, and in passing learned that it
had food and water for only two days
more.
As he was going out with this pre-
cious informal ton he was detected, and
the enemy said to him, "We are going
to cruelty you, but we will let you off
on one condition-that you go to the
wall and tell your people that we have
supplies for week"
He said, Every WE'LL" and went to
the wall. His wife and children in the
besiegers' camp saw him, his friends
were there also, and he held up both
his hands and said to them: There
are supplies for but two days. Con-
tinue the siege and you will take the
place"
He died by hundred spear points,
but he had done his duty to his gen
eral.-Sir Edward Arnold.

why We shake Hands

but very few know how this custom
arose.
According to a French ethnologist.
whenever two men met in former times
they were accustomed to hold up their
right hands in front Of them as u sign
that they had no intention Of attack
ing each other. This, mark of conf
dence, however, did not prove sufficient
In all cases- eor man may hold up his
right nand and yet, IL he keeps 1t
closed, may have weapon concealed
in 1t, and therefore 1t became the Gus
tom for the two right hands to grasp
each other. as only thus could full as
surance be given that no weapon was
concealed In either of them. Formerly,
therefore. this gesture, now the token
Of loyalty and friendship, was one OF
reciprocal distrust. - New York Hera'd

HOW THE INDIANS VOTE.
They Are Very Deliberate and Then
Have N Simple Method.

Have N Simple Method.
The Chickasaw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way the
white man does it. They meet the day
before the election, and none but
Chickasaws by blood is allowed to
vote. No white man or intermarried
citizens have the right of suffrage.
They go Off to themselves and have
powwow. They decide for whom they
will vote after considering the matter
for twenty -four hours.
The polling place is quite unlike that
of the white man. There is a great
sheet of paper, white, yellow or brown
as the case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet of paper are
a vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled off with pencil. Then down
one side of the sheet Of paper are
placed the names of all candidates for
office, beginning with the candidates
for governor and running on down to
precinct officers. AT the top of the
sheet are the number of blank spaces
that will be required for the names Of
the voters. The judges of election sit
by and pass on those entitled to vote,
and there is certainty that no illegal
votes are cast.
The Indian is thoroughly deliberate.
He takes his time when it comes to
voting. He proceeds to the polling
place, looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he is ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name, and the
clerk records it on the sheet. Then the
clerk reads off the names of the can
didates for governor. The voter delib-
crates awhile, calls out the name of
the candidate for whom he desires to
vote, his vote is recorded, and the
names of the candidates for the next
Office are called out, and SO on through
the list, till all the offices represented
are voted for.
Thus it is that every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has cast
his ballot, and there are no remarks,
no suggestions and no quarrels over
differences Of opinion.

often Asserted that He Was Offensive
~ Familiar with Associates.
There remains In some quarters an
/ impression that In his personal manner
and address Abraham Lincoln was too
brusquely, sometimes even Extensively,
familiar with his daily associates, but
certainly no person could appear less
so throughout all his correspondence
and official utterances. Even in infor-
NAL and purely personal matters his
numerous notes and kilograms TO his
closest friends were always most re-
spectful and dignlfied, If anything too
stiffiy formal.
Periodically a story goes the rounds
of the public press In which the Presi-
dent addresses his Secretary of War as
Dear Stanton directing him to APP
point certain man chaplain in the
army. In due course Stanton replies:
Dear Mr.. Lincoln: lie is not
preacher"
There Is further correspondence be-
tween Dear Stanton" and Dear Mr..
Lincoln" on the subject. finally cul-
mlnatlng in stanton refusing point
blank TO appoint the Presidents friend
to the chaplaincy. This Is to show how
yielding Lincoln was, and at the same
time Stanton's masterful position in
the cabinet.
Now, there Is Internal evidence that
nothing of this kind ever happened. In
the first place, the President and not
his Secretary of War appointed all the
chaplains in the regular army: second
ly, Mr. Stanton was never addressed by
the President as Dear Stanton" on
any occasion whatever. Lincoln's cor
respondenee is proof positive of this.
1t also pretty plainly indicates that IL
Lincoln had a friend he desired TO APP
point to an office he would have done it
very quickly despite Mr.. Stanton's OPP
position.
In fact. Lincoln never started even
the most hasty note Dear Seward. or
Dear Stanton" or Dear Halleck." as
under the circumstances at times might
have been clearly permissible. They
were almost invariably addressed Hon.
Secretary of State, My Dear Sir or
Hon. Secretary of War" or Maj.
Gen. Halleck." or IL the name was used
II was "Hon. William II. Seward" or
Hon. Edwin NJ. Stanton" as the case
might be. exactly as they are quoted
in this article, which are typical of his
whole correspondence.
Lincoln was too serious man him
self. says Leslie ]. Perry in Iippln-
colts, ito Imagine that he could with
impunlty underrate the dignity OF
others"
