CRUDE METHODS OF SPINNING.
Which Were Long In Dispiacing the
 Spindle and Dlstaff.

The invention of the art of spinning was ascribed by the ancients to Mi nerya, the goddess of wisdom, says a writer in The Housekeeper. The date, 1900 B. C., is given as that of the be- ginning of the art in Greece, under the direction of the king of Arcadia, but pictured inscriptions on Egyptian mon- uments show that the use of the spin de and distaff was known in that country much earlier. The first dis itaff was simply stick, around which the fiber to be spun was loosely coiled, held in the left hand; the spindle was a sort of top set in motion by twiri of the hand, the fiber passing between the finger and thumb of the right hand. This invention was improved upon in the course of time by placing the spindle in a frame and making it revolve by mechanical action of the hand or foot in connection with a wheel or treadle-thus giving the true spinning wheel The first recorded use of this was in the early years of the sixteenth century, but it was prob ably made and used long before this. The first spinning jenny, machine working eight spindles, was invented in 1767.

Mahomstan eraxe..

The Mahometan may be uncertain of many things in life, but in death he is sure of one thing-that his grave will never be disturbed on any ac- count whatever. With view to re- moving the slightest chance of any grave being defiied. cypress tree is planted immediately after the inter ment, which makes the Moslem cem- eteries resemble forests. In the island of Timor burials are much delayed owing to the necessity of gathering funds for the burial feast, which in most cases means ruin to the family. After the feast the burial Directly the grave is filed in. a young cypress tree is planted on it.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The Eden Musee, one of the familiar landmarks Of West Twenty-third street, was dec aorated with lavish display of flags and bunting yesterday in celebration of it's silver jubilee or twenty-flfth ami yersary. The place of entertainment was opened a quarter of a century ago when the wax works shows were en- loving the sunlight of, popular favor. within a few years almost every city Df conseduence in America had it's "Inusee," but the institution in West Twenty.third street stands today al most the sole survivor of the legion, all the rest having fallen victims to the fckleness of the noveltyloUng public.

LOST ART OF LETTER WRITING.
Men and Women of To-Day Have No Time for Such Occupation.


 It is a well-known fact that nobody writes letters nowadays. It Is true we spend vast deal of time at our writ ing table, that we consume untold quantities of ink and nibs, while our stationery bill is by no means the most modest item of oui ever-increas- ing expenditure. But we neither write nor receive letters. The utmost we do is to dash of notes" in an swer to invitations, to "scribble few lines" of congratulation or sympathy, as the case may be, with friend; to express briefly but forcibiy our satis- faction with our dressmaker, or our surprise at our milliners account As for our absent relations, on the rare occasions when we remember their ex- isteuce at all, we send them our love on a post card with few details about the weather, ending in tearing haste" with the hope that they will write soon and tell us all their news. Of course, they never do, which is just as well, as If they did we should in all probability never have time to wade through their letters.-L Tncon- nue. in Ladies Field.

HOVAL \. SMITH Is FULL OF CONFIDENCE
Tells Douglas Paper That Mines Are Doing Well and Pros
 poets Are Flattering.

DOUGLAS. Feb 25.-(Special)-
 Hoyal A. Smith. one of the most prominent mining men of the south west, arrived in Douglas last night after a trip to his mining interests in Arizona and New Mexico. He has only words of encouragement and states that the mines generally are making excellent progress.
 "we are working large force of men at our properties at Globe, !" said Mir. Smith, "and have within the past twenty-four hours received a telegram stating that a. good body of commer cial ore has been encountered at the 1900 level That district is forging ahead to the general satisfaction of all. There is general encouragement felt there on all sides.
 "At Casas Grande we are working good force of men and are shipping ore, although we have been devoting the most of our work to development alone during the present price of cop per.
 At Silver City we arG still develop ing and have secured about 1900 acres of mineral ground. That district, quoting Prof. James Douglas, will be one of the greatest mineral produc- ing camps in the southwest.
 q am glad to note that the Shattuck shelter will be built at no distant date" he continued. c'There is no reason that the Shattuck smelter should not be ready to handle ore before this year ends if they are de- termined to rush the work. The big steel and iron companies are not rush ed with orders now and can make quick deliveries. This will be of great good to both Douglas and Bisbee as it will put many men to work at both places. There. is no doubt in my mind that the Shattuck will build according to their statement, as they are greatly in need of the smelter now and have been.
 q feel that we have every reason county and we have passed over the strain much better than almost any other section of the United States We have dropped down little and il will require some time to recover, but we will recover to our old status We will see better times than ever be- fore"
 But how about politics? It has been rumored here that you are will ing to go to Chicago from Cochise if the republicans deliver it to you on

Sacred Trees of India.

There are many sacred trees of India which enter largely into the re- ligious life of the Hindus. Chief among these is the sami tree and the trembling peepul Nearly all the higher hills and rocks in the plains are crowned each by 8 temple, shrine or sacred tree. The peepui is known as the king of trees. 1t Is the most holy, and the three great spirits of the Hindus dwell therein. The worship of the tree is the worship of the triad Rrahma, Siva and Vishnu. Almost every Indian village has its peepul tree. with a raised platform or altar , around it. The deyout remove thei1 shoes before 1t and make obeisance , before proceeding on their way.

attitude toward the publications of Ed
ward e. Lewis of ST Louis, have been
made by Edwin {. Madden. who was third

CortelyOu was at the head of the Post
On1ce Department. Mr.. Madden's charges
are Incorporated in book which he has
given the title of The Governments

Mr.. Madden. in his accusations, goes
so far as to say that a conspiracy against
Lewis existed and that Mr.. Cortelyou,
when Postmaster General. was at the
head OF the alleged cabal He also as
serts' that his own resignation was the re-
suit of his refusal to assist in the alleged
plot. Mr. Madden declares that Lewis Is
innocent OF any wronsdoing and has suf-
:ered two years of persecution
Secretary Cortelyou declines to comment
upon Mr.. Madden's accusations. All Mr.
