SOLDIERS UNEXPECTED ALLY.
How a Mohammedan Holy Man Came
to the Rescue of a British Reuime,t.

Sir d. c. Drury-Lowe, who recent
ly died. veteran Of Cr!mea, the Mu-
tiny, the Zulu and Egyptian wars,
was one Of the leaders Of the forced
march to Cairo, which made It's way
for sixty-flve miles across the desert
and consummated the victory Of Tel
el-Kebir A curious incident Is told
Of this campaign. The story illus
trates the absolute and superstitious
devotion Of the Arabs to their reli-
gion. Arab Pasha had concentrated
his forces near the English camp.
The British soldiers were a queer
looking set in their rough, loose, jack
cts, dusty and muddy, their growing
boards. their dirty belts and helmets,
but the strictest discipline was main
tanned. The men were steady, cheer
full. patient to endure the scanty
food, filthy water and the heat and
dust.
A canal ran close to their line Of
entrenchments. from which they got
their water. Arabi damned this ca
nal and cut a deep drain by which he
intended to let out the water into the
valley and so make It impossible for
the British to get their supply.
A few days before the final battle
the British engineers were astonish-
ed to find the water in the canal ris-
ing. The tendency before had been
rapid decrease from consumption and
evaporation. AS every one knew the
canal was damned, they supposed
the only solution Of the mystery was
that the rising Of the Nile had filled
the canal above the level Of the dam
and that the water was pouring over
1t. The increase was availed Of at
once: the lock was opened and the
level of the water raised.
The true solution Of this increase
Of water never entered the European
mind. Later it was discovered. Arahi
Pasha had cut the darn. A dervish, or
holy man. much venerated, had come
to the camp. He had heard Of the
building Of the dam and pronounced
it contrary to the faith. He declared
that although the British soldiers
were infidel dogs they were still Gods
creatures and should not be made to
suffer and that the divine blessing
could be expected only If the water
were set free.
Arab was devout Moslem, and he
instantly compiled with the dervish's
decision.-Youth's COMPANION.

NEGRos BANDIT LEADER.
His Trick to Secure the Allegiance Of
the Superstitious Islanders.

A war Of determination against the
bandits in the island Of Negros, in the
Philippines, with the killing Of sew
eral hundred natives, Is the prediction
of the Rev. Harry Maxfield, mission
ary of the Tabernacle Baptist church
to this island. who is now at home on
a furlough.
THE bandits Of the island gave the
Spaniards trouble for eight years,
and it was only year ago that our
troops wiped out the leader and broke
up the band" said the Rev. Mr.. Max
field. THE leader of the band was an
OK driver named Dionici. who was OPP
pressed by the Spaniards in 1890 and
fled to the hills, where he quickly
gathered a band around him. The
band he later increased to several
hundred men. In 1900 he could mus
ter 1000 men.
He found that it was difficult to
govern such a large band Of wild and
unruly spirits and so he manufacture
ed a scheme of worship. He dressed
one Of his lieutenants in a black suit,
put a mosquito net over him, and
between the mosquito net and the
suit placed thousands of huge fire.
flies.
"rhen he manufactured a mechan-
ical device to slide up and down, by
which this man slid down during the
night, making it appear as though he
came from the heavens and as
though he were clothed in fire. The
bandits thought he was the Lord,
and when he spoke every one grovell-
ed on the ground. The manufactured
lord then appointed Daniel his noun
tain pope and called him Papa Ysio.
After that the bandits, who were
very superstitious, obeyed every COM
mand. Every time they began to for
get their obedience Yncenlos, the
manufactured god would appear and
frighten them again. Finally they
were stirred up to such fanatical
frenzy that they would do anything
for the pope. In battle with Span
ish troops in 1896. 200 soldiers were
killed. When the Americans took the
islands Papa Ysio was at his height,
but the troops drove him into the
mountains. Later the troops were re-
called from the islands and the ma

Hairs and Feathers,

call the fine fibers Of asbestus, they
even invade the mineral world. From

be much better than a picture and
you will see that it has main stem

tends the thin part known as the vane.
Look closely and you will see that this
vane is composed of tiny feathers, call
ed boards, fastened together through
out their whole length from where
their bases join the midrib to their
tips. You can easily separate one Of
these from the rest, when you will see
how like tiny feather it is, with what

Foxes ScaIps and Salvation.

Some years ago at session of the
legislature of Kentucky an effort to
repeal the law offering a bounty on
foxes scalps was made, but was de-
feated by the appeal of member
from a mountainous and sparsely set
tied region. ''Do the gentlemen want
to deprive my constituents and me of
the benefits of hearing the gospel
preached?" he demanded, with indig-
nation in his tone and overspreading
his rugged countenance. eve are all
Methodists up my way, and our
preachers won't come without we can
give 'em chickens, I know. We can't
raise chickens unless the foxes are
killed by somebody, that's sure, and
there amt anybody that can afford to
spend their time hunting foxes and get
nothing to pay for it. So, gentlemen,
If you repeal this law you'll be de-
priving my constituents of the benefit
of hearing the gospel preached; that's
the way it looks to mew The law
was not repealed at that session.-Ar-

,Stelia's Dignity.


"Glenn paid me dandy compliment
last night, mother - one that will
please you, too," said Stella Harding.
"He was talking about the girls in this
block and how disguised the boys
were getting with them. He said the
trouble with the girls round here was
that they had positively no personal
dignity, and he never seemed to take
into account that lived in the block
myself. But he made up afterward
for forgetting. He said not much,
he guessed, he didn't mean me; that
I was noted for my dignity with all
the fellows, and he'd often heard them
speak of it. What do you say to
that?'
Mrs. Harding was listening with
motherly satisfaction. "How did it
happen to occur to him that you
might be applying it to yourself?" she
asked.
II put it to him straight. just
waited until he stopped for breath,
and then I said, We'll, Jimmy, Glenn,
is this a slam?'"
''Stella, what a speech! There's no
dignity about that!'
