Tomb. of the ancient Prophets.

There exist i'll parts of Islam many
tombs of the prophet Daniel. OF these
one Of the most celebrated is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish us. The
Mussulman: admit without hesitation
the duplication or even indefinite null
tiplication of the bodies of holy per-
sons without their veneration fer each
Of the remains being diminished in the
least. 1t is worth noting that the ma
ture of the honorary qualifications ac-
corded to the same saint varies in diff
ferent countries. Thus, for example,
Daniel has at Cairo the name of Neb-
bi-Daniel-that is, they give him the
title of prophet, as being at the same
time that which suits him best and is
the most honorable they can confer. In
Algeria or Morocco-feudal countries
the title they give to saints is sidi,
which signifies lord, which is also the
title there of military and political
chiefs. In central Asia they give to
those canonized persons whom they re-
spect most, as to the prophet Daniel,
the title of khodja, which means in
Arabic writer or lettered.

Training shepherd DOGS.

The natives of Mexico seem to have
an original way of training shepherd
dogs. A pup is taken from its mother
as soon after birth as possible, the
breed of the dog being immaterial.
The young of a sheep or goat is taken
away, and the pup is substituted.
After the first few days the pup is
never fed except just before the flock
goes to pasture in the morning and
just after the sheep are brought in at
night.
As soon as he can walk he goes out
with the flock and stays with it all
day. Whenever he begins to antici-
pate supper by trying to drive the flock
in before shutdown he gets punished.
After he is about year old he takes
flock out, guards it from other dogs
and coyotes during the day and brings
it in at the proper time at night
without supervision. All kinds of
temptations can be tried on any dog
that Is encountered in the hills with
his flock, but in spite Of all he will re-
main faithful to his duty, driving his
flock to a safe distance before ventur-
ing to make the acquaintance of any
other dog.

Discomforts of Mining Before thu

Discomforts of Mining Before the
Davy Lamp Was Lit.
The difficulties under which coal
mining operations were carried on be
fore the.scientist Davy had invented his
safety lamp must have been very great
In many times the only alternative the
medieval miner had to pitch darkness
was the phosphorescent CLEAN from
dried fish. The miners implements
originally of stone or hard oak, gradu
ally improved, but he was forced to
work in almost complete darkness until
Sir Humphrey Davy by his remarkable
invention enabled him to light his way
through the tunnels he had eXcayated
with comparative safety.
Agricola an author who wrote about
the middle of the sixteenth century,
has left an elaborate treatise on coal
mining as it was practiced during the
middle ages. From this we learn that
the horse gin, which survives to the
present day in some of the mining dis
tricts of Great Britain and northern
Europe, was the engine chiefly EN-
ployed both for lifting the coal and for
getting rid of the water. This latter
object was also sometimes effected by
means of pumps turned by windmills
or by tunnels driven with great labor
to an outlet at lower level.

Making Marble Out of Chalk.

In nature marble is made out of
chalk by water which percolates
through the chalky deposits, dissolves
the chalk particle by parties and
crystalliZes it. mountain pressure solid
flying it. 1t has been found that SINH
lar results may be accomplished by
chemical means First slices of chalk
are dipped in a color bath, staining
them with tints that will initiate any
kind of marble known. For this pur-
pose the same mineral stains are used
as are employed in nature. For exam
pie, to produce counterfeit verde an.
tique" oxide of copper is utilized. In
like manner green, pink, black and
other colorings are obtained. Next the
chalk slices go into another bath, by
which they are hardened and crystal
liked, coming out to all intents and
purposes real marble.

FORREST IN A FIGHT.

Troops were brought in from the north
and the south to reinforce the garri-
sons at the chief points, and the scat
tered outposts were strengthened.
A cautious soldier looking over the
field ahead of Forrest would have de-
clared that it was foolhardy for a
band of 1880 men to attempt to cope
with the garrisons Of the towns along
the line of the Mississippi Central
since any point attacked could sum-
mon help by train from nearby points,
but with FORESTS way of doing things
there would be no time to summon
help. He would strike and carry the
day or else be off to a more inviting
field. The enterprise was just the one
for bold men under a bold leader who
cared little for the danger and were
ready to take defeat if fate should go
against them. This was the case with
Forrest and his band when they set
out to raid the lines behind Grant, who
little suspected the movement and, if
he had, would have secuted 1t as i'm
possible of success.

A Good Policy

The Dry Goods Economist says of
one store with which it is familiar:
EVERY employee in it seems to be
good natured. Why should there be
any difference in this respect between
this establishment and the average
store? Is not human nature about
the same the world over? True, but
there is difference. The proprietor
of this store is not only merchant,
but gentleman. He treats his en-
ployees with marked courtesy and con-
sideration. AS a consequence they
feel so kindly disposed toward him and
his business that their good will is re-
Elected in their treatment of his Gus
toners" Some storekeepers never find
out why it is that so few of their
casual customers become regulars.

peouliaritie. of Russian winters.


There is one curious thing about a
Russian winter-in the latter part of
October or the beginning of November
the weather will be as mild as it is here
in September. Not sign can be seen of
an approaching change when sudden
ly, without any apparent warning, a
light haze will be seen in the northern
sky. and in twentyfour hours the
thermometer may fall so degrees. The
change is so sudden and violent that
travellers are frequently frozen to
death before they can gain shelter.
1t has occurred that farmers out
looking after their flocks have been
caught in one of these billiards. and
missing their way home, have lost
their lives, their bodies remaining un-
der the snow until the following spring.
The suddenness of Dakota blizzard
is well known in the northwestern
part of our country. but it is hardness
personified when compared with the
rapidity with which Russian winter
storm comes on.

the army to guard it from surprise.
When Bragg had passed on into Ken
| lucky, Forrest remained behind with
instructions to raise and organize the
| Confederates in Tennessee. Bragg
hoped to conquer Kentucky, and the
troops under Forrest would guard his
communications with the base at Chat
tanooga.
Bragg's invasion, however, ended in
| failure. The Federals again held Nash
vile, and Forrest conceived the daring
project of attacking that post with a
| handful of cavalry and an infantry
| brigade which was at hand. For the
purpose Forrest gathered a thousand
| troopers and one night advanced to the
! Federal outposts of the city, but Gen
eral Beauregard had meanwhile been
given the chief Confederate command
in Tennessee and, hearing of Forests
purpose, ordered the movement aban-
| doned.
| The month of November found Bragg
i'll full retreat to Murfreesboro, where
| he decided to make stand against the
| pursuing Federals. In the march north
ward the Confederate cavalry had
been under the leadership of General
| Joe Wheeler, West Point soldier, and
Bragg selected him to take the field as
| chief of the new cavalry corps to be
! organized. The new role of Wheeler
left nothing for Forrest in east Ten
nessee, and he was ordered to take his
old brigade west to Columbia and pre-
pare to fall upon Grants line of COM
munications. For some men this would
have been the removal of a brave but
possibly overzealous soldier to a field
of hard work with little Importance at
tached, but Forrest was not the man
to be shelved
The Tennessee river rolled between
Forrest and his new field of operations,
and the line was watched over by the
enemy's scouts. Hating at Clifton,
Forrest prepared his command for the
arduous and dangerous task ahead.
Meanwhile the Federals were active in
Strengthening their means of defense
for Grants line of communications.
