A escula plus was the Greek god of medicine,
who was killed by a thunderbolt from Zeus
upon PlutoS complaint that Hades was
being depopulated. His temple though eX-

before been carefully studied. The archi-

studying the temples of Castor and of Con-

a million date trees and its people have
always been noted for their prosperity and
trade. They are also famous as haters Of
Christians, and until lately 1t was death
to such to enter their GASES. About three
years ago, when the railroad had not yet
reached this point, the governor general Of
Algeria made an expedition from the end
of the road at Duverer to Benz Ounif, and
started thence on an expedition to Figuig.
He was accompanied by detachment of
Spahis, the bravest OF these African SOL
diers, and three companies Of the fore. gn
legion, under the command of General
OConner. 1t was then well known that
any Christian who went into Figuig did SO
at the risk of his life; and one of the Arab
officials of the town warned the governor
general that he had better keep out He
did not heed the warning, and the result
was fight which lasted five hours. after
which the French retreated.
This battle was entirely with rifles o.. both
sides, and the Moors thought they were
equal to anything the French could bring
FORTH A day or so later the foreign le-
g1on and three sauadrons of cavalry APP
reared their force altogether numbering
forty-five hundred. They brought with
them a number of mountain guns and other
cannon, and placing these more than mile
away they opened fire upon the oasis, and
its villages with melinite shells. The result
astounded the natives. Their mud brick
houses were blown to atoms, and the NINA
rets of their mosque cut in two
The Moors had never heard or seen any,
thing like this. and they soon came almost

POSTAL CARDS MADE FROM SPRUCE WOOD PULP.

tract July l, 1905, having underbidden other
mills. The contract expires July 1, 1907.
Once a month, and sometimes oftener,
a requisition is received for 1000 coo sheets
of paper. Each sheet will make 361 stamps.
The sheets are 1S1a by 20a4 inches, and of
the best quality of paper turned out of the
mill 1t is made of spruce and soda pulp.
Each sheet is marked with the letters U.
S. p. s. Omitted States Postage Stamps)
running lengthwise. The Dandy Roll
used to make these letters, is the property
of the United States government and must
be given up at the expiration of the con-
tract This roll of brass wire is ninety
inches long. The marks are made by the
heavy raised letters of metal, placed at
equal intervals on the surface. The paper
is made in rolls Weighing 200 pounds, and
the width of seventy-four inches is di-
vided four times into sheets as specified
above.
The next step is to mark the sheets SO
that the workmen in Washington shall
have no trouble in keeping them right side
up, e., with all the letters upright and
running in vertical lines from top to bot
tom. For this part of the work the sheets
are very carefully piled with the edges ex-
actly together and just as they are to be
handled in Washington.
Then comes the sorting process, for none
but the perfect sheets is accepted by Uncle
sam. This work is done by girls, who ham
die each sheet separately, holding it up and
looking through it toward the light, by
which means thin places and other defects
are quickly discernible. The rejected sheets
are thrown upon the floor and one hand Is
kept busy raking them together and gath
ering them up to be returned to the pulp
room to be reground.
From start to finish the work requires the
greatest care and precision, for there must
not be single defect in a single sheet sent
to Washington, where the stamping, gum
ming and perforating are done.

The Way Of Wyoming.
from the Outing Magazine.

from the outing Magazine.
When campaign time comes round in
such a state as Wyoming, the candidates
task is something like that Of scout max
ing forced march through an unchartered
country. The speech of tomorrow may be
an all-night ride and more from that of to-
day; sometimes he can catch Pullman,
more often he must trek cross country-in
the saddle perhaps, or catching few hours
uneasy slumber as the stage jolts along
the trail. In Wyoming every political gath
ering ends In dance, and after the speech
making, the congressman-to-be must foot 1t
into the small hours with the wives and
daughters-for the women vote in Wyoming
and dancing counts. 1t takes an up-and-
doing man, lively and hard as nails, sue
cessfully to run for Congress in such
neighborhood, and the man who wins
means something more to folks than just
name. They've seen him. fed him,
brushed the alkali dust from his clothes,
given him a bed, drunk with him, eaten
with him, danced with him. And when he
comes back from the far and mysterious
east. they are interested and glad. They
want to talk with him and hear what he
has been doing, and from the big towns
to crossroads in the sagebrush, they hang
up bunting saying, Welcome to Our
Frank" and greet him like brother.

These Tuaregs are descendants of the
Berber or white race of the Atlas noun
tains, who have been crowded off into the
desert. They have long been noted as the
brigands of the Sahara. They are especial
ly distinguished by the fact that they wear
wells night and day. Their wells black;
and they wind them about their heads like
a turban and then pass them over the nose
and mouth and across the. forehead. so
that only the eyes can be seen. Ii is said
that the veil was originally adopted to keep
out the dust, but that 1t is now mark OF
fashion and modesty. Another story told
me is that the Tuareg men first put on
wells as a matter of cowardice and shame.
They were surprised by their enemies and
were so frightened that they threw down
their arms and ran, leaving their familles.
Thereupon the women picked up the SWORDS,
spears and daggers, and defeated the
enemy. From that day until now the men,
to show their admiration for the conduct
of their wives. have adopted the veil, and
the Tuareg women still go with bare faces.
Many of the Tuaregs live in tent villages,
moving about from place to place. They
have camels and sheep, and some of them
have gardens. As a general thing they
are miserably poor, and the money they
receive from the French is far more than
most of them made when their sole profess
