A Religion That Grows.

The idea tat Mohammedanism is
played OUT would be dangerous one
for statesmen to bank upon. 1t isn't.
Mohammed began his career as a
prophet more than 600 years later than
the beginning of the Christian era. At
present he has 17G,000,O00 disciples,
more than one-third as many as there
are Christians in the world.
Nine hundred years ago there were
in India no Mohammedans. Now there
are 100000, and they are increasing
in number constantly They are by all
odds the most energetic subjects in
British India.
The western wave Of Mohammedan-
ism rolled up to the farthest corner of
Spain, up to the walls Of Vienna, and
then began to recede, but the shrink
ing process was accompanied by eX-
pansion elsewhere. In Africa Moham
mechanism is steadily PROSECUTING. Rus
STA in Europe has 100000 followers of
the prophet, more than there are in
what is called Turkey in Europe"
Asia, however, the realm of future
growth, is the AIohammedan strong,
hold. To less than 100000 native
Christians there are 109,OO0.000 Mo-
hammedans.-New York World.

The Word xFudge."

Where did that very common word
fudge" come from, and what does it
really mean? The appearance of the
word in literature is in the description
of the call of Lady Biarney and Miss
Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia Skeggs on
the vicar of Wakefeld's household:
''But previously should have mention
ed the very impolite behavior of Mr..
Burchell, who, during his discourse, sat
with his face turned to the fire and at
the conclusion of every sentence would
cry out Fudge an expression which
displeased us all and i'll some measure
dampened the rising spirit Of the con-
versation'' Does the word come from
the provincial French 'fuche" OF the
low German 'f-Itsch?" Or shall we
trace it to the s Dry Of 100 quoted by
the elder DisrG~li There was, sir, in
our times one captain Fudge, who al
ways brought ONE his owners a good
cargo Of lies, 50 much that now aboard
the ship the s-,ilors, when they hear a
great lie told, cry out, You fudge it,! Z"

Sex of Gems.

The Romans, following the Greek
mineralogists, divided gems into males
and females according to the depth or
lightness of their color. These terms
are thus alluded to by Theophrastus:
"Both these (beryl, carbuncle, omphax,
crystal and amethyst and the sard are
found on breaking open certain rocks,
presenting certain differences, but
agreeing in name with each other.
For of the sard the transparent and
blood red sort is called the female,
while the less transparent and darker
kind is termed the male, and the cya-
nus also is named one sort the male
and the other the female, but the
male is the deeper in color of the two"
The cyanus, or cyanos, Of the an
clients is said, though probably incor-
rectly, by many modern mineralogists
to be identical with our sapphire.

The Dukes "Thirteen Clock"

An ingenious timekeeping arrange
ment exists today which was designed
by that famous Duke of Bridgewater
who laced South Lancashire with ca
nails and died a hundred years ago.
The duke was great stickler for pune
tuality, and he was annoyed that the
workmen on his estate at Worsley did
not return to work after dinner as
promptly as they left off when the
clock struck T. When he remonstrat-
ed, he was told that while the work
men always heard the clock strike II,
they often failed to hear the single
stroke of 1. The Duke of BridgeWater
quickly found a remedy for this diff
Guilty. He had clock made that
would strike thirteen times an hour
after noon, and that clock proclaims 1
O'Clock with a bakers dozen of sono-
rous strokes to this day. The '.thlr-
teen clock'' is one of the curiosities OF
Worsley Hall.-Westminst Gazette.

LEE RESIGNS HIS OFFICE
Lieutenant Governor of Missouri Becomes
&C Private Citizen Because of the
Doodle Scandals.

st. Louis, April %. Lieutenant
Governor john "A. Lee has resigned his
office as assistant executive Of Mis-
souri,. The resignation was mailed to
Governor Dockery after Lee had spent
much time in conference with his adj
Visers. It is not necessary that the
resignation be accepted by Governor
DOckery. Under the constitution of
the state a resignation is self-opera-
tive and becomes effective the moment
it is filed with the governor.
Senator Thomas 2. Rubey, Of
Lebanon, Mo. president pro tenn of
the senate, succeeds to the office of
lieutenant governor. Lieutenant Gov
,ernor Lees resignation is voluntary.
Until Saturday he was undecided what
course he would pursue, and declined
to say whether he would resign. After
consultation with his advisers he de-
cided to withdraw from office. In
speaking of his action he expressed
qualification in laying aside the cares
and responsibilities Of Office, and re-
marked that holding position of trust
was Il thankless job at the best.
