Canaanite Burials.

Some important discoveries nave
lately been made with regard to the
burial customs of the Canaanites. The
bodies were usually deposited in
caves. as Abraham deposited the body
of Sarah. The " were either
natural hollows in the rock, such as
abound in Palestine, or artificially
formed excavations, usually roughly
circular. On the floor of these caves
the body was laid, in a contracted po-
sition. Stones were placed round it
and earth strewn over it. For tAe use
of the spirit of the deceased vessels
Of food and drink wer placed near,
by; not without pathos is the deposit
of cooked meat, with a knife to cut
it and a saucer inverted over it to
keep it warm, that was found in one
tomb in Gezer. Spears, swords, orna
ments or other objects which the de-
ceased might be supposed to require
were Also deposited. These objects
are valuable testimonies to the belief
of the Canaanites in the continuance
after death of a life similar to the
earthly existence.

SENATORS TOSS COIN TO
DECIDE A PATRONAGE

VN7 ASHINGTON. The newest and
w most unique method of dispens-
Ing federal patronage was exempli-
fed by President Roosevelt in the
White House the other day. 1t
marks a departure in the usual pro-
cedure governing the selection OF
presidential appointees. There is
nothing complex or intricate in the
process. 1t is merely a case of
Heads / win, tails you lose"
There were a large number of va
cant offices in South Dakota due to
the fact that the two senators,
Kittredge and Gamble, have been I'M
able to agree upon applicants, thus
permitting the old office holders to
retain their positions long beyond the
time to which they were appointed.
Senators Kittredge and Gamble scarce

the former started in to defeat the lat
ter for reelection two years ago.

The Spanish GaIleon.

Primarily the galleon was but a
peaceful merchant ship, but by the
irony of fate she became, almost from
her inception, e center of the fiercest
fighting. Square rugged and high OF
stem and stern, broad of bow and low
of waist, with massive bulwarks and
~forecastle, and poop three and foul
decks high, she possessed a pictur-
esque appearance, but little of sensi-
BILE naval architecture. The stem was
clumsy, broad and blunt, and smashed
heavily through the waves, to the
great detriment of speed; this and the
towering stern presented such a sur
face to the wind that the difficulties
of steering we're quite formidable, and
six or eight men at the wheel were
not unusual. The method in this ap-
parent madness of marine construc'
ton was the landlubber's instinct,
still strong in men of the sea OF those
DAYS, to reduce all naval maneuvers
to the MISREPRESENTATION tac-
tics of the land fight on a common
platform.-Scribner's Magazine.

Since last Thursday night, however,
Baxter has promised to think less OF
his material sensibilities. That even
ing the Bakers went to the theater.
Going home Baxter, as usual, refused
to sit by his wife on the ground that
he would be unduly crowded. There
was a rift in the row of humanity fur
Their along the line, and he went down
and filled in there. He sat beside a fat
man, who had previously Travelled a
short distance over the alcoholic route.
The fat man had noticed from afar

nut of the mist of bank failures,
~ frenzied finance, horse shows and
the like, Douglas county rises to sue
lime heights of esthetic devotion, re-
vfving the Bull Run controversy and
changes the name of the classic town
of Starvout to the more tragic name
of Booth. Time was perhaps when
Starvout was a %euphonious and appro-
pirate cognomen for the little cluster
of saloons and other more or less
ornamental and necessary structures
which kept back the sage-brush from
the bosom of Douglas county, but that
day has passed. and now it is Booth

partment.
But Douglas county does not seem
to be the only one, nor does the great
and important question of whether the
name Bull Run communicates the

all parts of the country alike. The
post Office records show that many
different municipal c~hristenings have

their names changed or lost in the
