THE SCOTS: GRAYs.
Regiment of Dragons Famous Since
the Time of Charles III.

Regiment of Dragons Famous Since
the Time Of Charles III.
Second to none" is the proud motto
of the gallant and famous regiment,
the Second Dragon guards, or Royal
Scots Grays. 1t is a happily chosen
motto, for the fame of the regiment is
worldwide. Its brilliant achievements
or the field Of battle during two cen
turtles, its striking and historic name,
its grand and imposing uniform have
made the Royal Scots Grays, as an in
dividual corps, there is nc ~gainsaying,
the most widely known and familiar
of all the regiments of the British
army.
Since the regiment was raised, in the
reign Of the second Charles. the dra-
goons have borne themselves well in
many a famous field, but want Of space
forbids us to note the exploits until
'earth shaking Waterloo came on the
glory roll of the gallant grays. Here,
with the English Royals" and Irish
"Inniskillings," they formed the ia
nous union brigade. which made the
never to be forgotten picture of the
flight For the Standard" That wide.
~ known picture shows a man Of the

In Arabic the, word Koran means
'tlat which ought to be read" The
Koran is divided into 144 chapters call
ed suras, a word meaning really "row,"
order series" In manuscripts
these chapters are not numbered, but
bear titles, sometimes derived from
the subject matter, but usually from
the first Important work. Some chap
tiers have two or more names because
Of differences in the manuscripts fol-
lowed. Each chapter is divided into
smaller portions, called verses by non
Moslems, but in Arabic known as
"ayat," signs or wonders. The entire
book again is divided into sixty equal
portions, called "ahzab," each subdi-.
vided into four equal parts, or into
thirty parts called ''ajza," each consist
ing Of two ''ahzab," and again divided
into four. All the chapters except the
ninth begin with the bismillah, I'm
the name Of the most merciful God"
Twenty-Five begin with certain letters
Of the alphabet, which are believed to
be the peculiar marks Of the Koran
and to conceal several profound mys-
teries, the understanding of which, the
more intelligent confess, has not been
communicated to any mortal, their
prophet only excepted.
According to Moslem tradition, the
Archangel Gabriel paid $4,000 visits
to earth while revealing to Mohammed
the wishes Of the Creator. Some few
chapters were delivered entire, but the
greater part was revealed piecemeal
and written down at the prophets die
tation by Zaid, his secretary. The first
revelation, it is generally agreed, con-
tanned the first five verses Of the nine
( ty-sixth sura. After the passages had
been written down they were published
to the prophets followers, several OF
whom took copies. while most learned
them by heart, and the originals were
then placed in q chest in NJ particular
