THE MUSSULMANS.
They Are Not Easily Disturbed While
 Saying Their Prayers.

Saying Their Prayers.
 When saying his prayers the true Mussulman is not easily disturbed. Hans Doering, in his account of his travels in Chinese Turkestan, writes: Tt is an interesting sight to see a Mussulman perform his devotions Through the piece of glass in my pa per window I saw the interpreter spread his carpet in front of his house just opposite the one in which I was living. His wife and child sat quite close to him talking loudly with some visitors, but this did not in the least disturb the old man at his devotions.
 "In spite of the noise the melodious chanting of the Koran, was quite au- dible. The worshiper kotowed several times and cried Allah, Allah, Allahv then for awhile stood reverentially clasping his hands crosswise upon his breast, after which he joined in the conversation.
 His wife then went through the same performance, doing exactly the same as her husband. This they do every morning and evening whether there are friends with them or not"

The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1907-03-08

The bill that has lately become
a law is not the final chapter Of
Civil War pension legislation.
Ultimately every honorably dis
charged soldier of that war,
whether he served ninety days or
less, will be pensioned, and in an
other generation or SO the
daughters, if in need, will be put
on the roll with the widows.
1t requires a great deal Of money
to do this. Last year nearly a
hundred and forty million dollars
were paid to the soldiers and sailors
Of the various wars, or to those de-
pendent on them. and nearly three
and half billion dollars have been
paid out in this way since the be-
ginning. The burden of war is not
removed when the peace treaty is
signed, but remains for many gene
rations Internationally Com
panion.

Pensions.

In response to popular senti-
ment, Congress has passed a law
granting a pension to every old
soldier of the Civil War and the
war with Mexico. The only re-
strictions are that he shall be
sixty-one years old, shall have
served at least ninety days, and
shall have received an honorable
discharge. AS the Civil War
ended almost forty-two years
ago, this classification is broad
enough to include nearly every
man who wore a uniform. The
few who were less than twenty
years old in 1865 will soon come
within the provisions of the sta
tute.
The passage of this service
pension" act is in conformity
with custom. Half-pay for life
was promised to the officers in
the Revolutionary army who
would serve till the end of the
war, but the Continental Con
gress was unable to redeem the
promise. The first pension law
was passed in 1892, three years
after the organization of the first
United States Congress, and in
1918 the provisions OF the law
were extended so as to grant
pensions to all Revolutionary
soldiers who were in need.
Long sinceevery Revolutionary
soldier was included, as well as
the widows of such soldiers; and
three daughters Of the Revolution
are still drawing pensions under
special act of Congress.

Raises Wheat near Arctic circle.


Mrs. F. Z. RAIDER, whose hus-
band is in charge of the United
States experiment station at
Rampant, Alaska, just one degree
south of the arctic circle, was a
recent visitor in Seattle, and told
surprising facts regarding the
agricultural possibilities of the
extreme Northland.
At the exposition, which is to
be held at Seattle in 1909, there
will be most interesting exhibit
OF the results of Mr.. RAIDERS ex-
periments in the far north. The
exposition will show the people
that there is more to Alaska than
glaciers and ice-bergs.
1--WE are. experimenting princi-
pally with grains in an effort to
produce varieties that mature be-
fore winter sets in" she said.
"The grain seeds we use are har-
dy varieties from Russia and
Finland.
"All hardy vegetables such as
carrots, parsnips, rutabagas, po-
tatoes and even peas can be rails
ed successfully. Last year my
husband succeeded in raising
string beans, and many OF the
pods were seven inches in length.
Potatoes are among the most
successful crops we have up there.
Captain Mayo, who lives at Ram
part, has been growing potatoes
since 1872.
fThere are two grains which
are being grown with much sue
cess in our locality, a variety Of
wheat from KarkoH, Russia,
which is planted in the fall, and
Finnish black oats, which are
planted in the spring. The crops
seldom fail"

To Pension Rube Robbins.

Senator Hepburn has introduced
a bill i'll the senate granting a pen
sion to Orlando, better known as
"Rube" Robbins, of Boise On ac-
count of the fact that Mr.. Robbins
was never regularly enlisted in the
army it will be impossible for him
to secure a pension through the o.
binary channels, and whatever re-
lief he gets will have to come through
the passage of special bill in con
gress in his behalf. Mr. Robbins
has led very eventful life. He
was chief of scouts for General
Howard during three Indian cam
paigns; the Nez Perez in 1877. the
Bannock in 1878, and the Sheep
eater War in 1879. During these
wars he risked his life on many oc-
casions and always for the safety
Of others. In addition to his ser
vice in the Indian wars, Mr.. Rob
bins was Deputy U. S. Marshal for
Idaho from 1868 to 1888, during
the administration Of six U. S. mar
shals. He is now in very great
need Of the relief asked for him,
and it is hoped that Senator Hey
burn will be successful in securing
the passage Of the bill.-Hailey

without being dictated to by the
companies. They now claim over
100 have followed their move and
quit the house, going to the smaller
houses in town. New dinner pals
were in such demand that local
stores stock was exhausted. The
men are working in the mine as
usual, and whether the company
will take the matter up and force
them to go back or not is not yet
known. 1t is hardly probable that
such action can be taken, as all the
mines here are short of men and
are asking for rs to 100 men in
each mine more than they now
have.
A meeting is being arranged for,
when the strikers will make formal
declarations of their troubles and
give their reasons for the action
taken by them.
Business men Of the town are
watching the fight with keen inter
est, many maintaining that such a
move is for their betterment in that
all the boarding houses in town
will be benefited and more goods
sold locally

A Six Pound Jaw.

There lived in Alaska, a few
thousand years ago, baby that
could grab a chunk of bark and
bite a hole in it that a large meat
platter would barely cover. His
biting apparatus has just been
unearthed and brought to Seattle
where it is being held to be used
later as an exhibit at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
The baby was the infant child
Of Mr. and Mrs. Mastodon, who
weighed about as much as three
elephants, and his babyship, at
the time OF his sudden demise,
probably was as big as a horse.
All that remains now of little
Johnnie Mastodon is his lower
jaw, but this is sizeable souve-
mir, shaped. like a wishbone, and
measuring IL inches from the
throat to the front of the chin.
The span is an even foot, and the
whole thing weighs a little less
than six pounds. Probably when
it was part of the baby mastadon
it weighed twice as much, but it
has been drying and shrinking
for several thousand years.
Little Johnnie Mastodon had
but two teeth when a landslide
ended his brief career. These
pEotrude an inch or so from the
Jaw, and are three and one-half
inches long by two wide. Ii he
had lived longer, he would have
acquired two more teeth below,
as is shown by the jaw bone,
which has provision for the extra
compliment.
At the Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition, which is to be held
at Seattle III 1909, there will be
the most comprehensive collec-
tion of relics and curios from the
far north ever gathered for a
worlds fair.
The six-pound jaw above de-
scribed was unearthed on the
Kugarok river, by workmen EN-
ployed by the Kugarok Mining
and Ditch Company.

spect to the casing A.
The principal feature of the inven-
ton lies in the method of applying the
graduations to the faces of the cas-

illustration The numbers are placed
only on the four broad faces of the
castings, while the narrower corner
faces serve to indicate intermediate
graduations. The spaces between the
different dimensions on tne rod are
preferably made in alternately differ
ent colors, so that they may readily
be distinguished. The ordinations on
