M las Notovitch, traveling in Thibet, a monastery that the Buddhists knew and honored the prophet Certaln particu lars of the life of Issa forced upon him the conviction that this prophet was Jesus Christ. e inquired of the lamas where a history of his life was to be found. It was to be found in manuscripts prescrved as sacred books In the monasteries of Ladak. M. Notovitch went over the Ladak n- try, visited the city of Leh, and at length stopped at a convent called’ Hemis. There he commenced negotiations for the manu- script. He sent presents to the Lama watch, a thermometer, an alarm—but ali to no pu Several days later an acel dent brought him what his diplomac failed to achieve. Riding in front of Hemis he broke his leg. Ile was received in the convent, and nursed there, One day the lama came into two large volumes bound the leaves being turned time. It was the life of Issa, the Pall language. The lama read it out verse by verse, M. Notovitch taking down his interpreter's translation. The following brief summary of this translation Issa was born in Isracl. His parents were podr people belonging by birth “to a family of exalted piety which forgot its former greatness on earth to magnify the Creator and thank him for the misfortunes with which he was ple to try them.” From his childhood he preached the one God. On coming of age at 13, instead of marryin, according to custom, he fled from his father's house and went with merchants to Sindh. At 14 he was living among the Aryas. He visited Juggernaut, Rejagrilia, and Benares, where he learned to read and understand the Ve But one day he broke away from the Brah- mins, He denicd the divine origin of the Vedas and the incarnation of Para Brahma In Vishma the white priests threatened his life. He took refuge with the Gowtamides, learned Pali, and in six months was initiated into the mysteries of pure Buddhism. The he went westward, preaching against idol In Persia he oppoesd the religion of Zoro. aster, but he was persecuted by magicians and fled. He was 29 years of age when he returned to Judea. He at once began to preach, but his popu- larity alarmed Pontius Pilate. The latter summoned priests and learned men to try Issa. This tribunal examined Issa and pro- nounced him to be innocent. Issa continued to speak to the people, inculcating obedi- ence to Caesar and respect for womankind, but spies which Pilate had set to watch him sent disquicting reports on the enthusiasm of the multitude, and the governor, fearing a mutiny, caused Issa to be imprisoned, tor- tured, and tried before the Sanhedrin’ with two (hieves. F witnesses were bribed this time, The governor then called the witness who at the bidding of his master, Pilate, had be- trayed Issa. This man came, and speaking to Issa said: “Did you not claim to be the king of Israel when you said that the Lord of Heaven had sent you to prepare his people?’ And Issa, having Dl him, said: “You shall be forgiven, bec what you say does mot come from heart.” And, turning to the governor, said: “Why humble your qride and “teach your inferiors to live in falsehood, since even without that you are able to condemn an innocent man At these words the gov- ernor fell into a rage and ordered the death of Issa, while he discharged the two thieves. The judges, having deliberated, said to Pilate: ~ “We will not take upon ourselves the great sin of condemning an innocent man and of absolving two thieves, a (hing con- trary to our laws. Do, thercfore, as you please.”” Having thus spoken the priests and wise men went out and washed their hands in a holy vessel, saying: “We a innocent of the death of a just man.” I and the two thieves were crucified, but the third day Issa's sepulcher was found open and empty.

Vast Benefits Conferred by the Tree Plant. ing Holiday. That the American people are showing a wing interest in their homes and towns fact of national importance. Though myriads of mean and wretched huts still remain, the residences of our industrig cla surpass those of the same classes in any other land on the globe. Of the many causes tending to this result, writes D. G. Northrup in the New York Independent, Arbor day and village im- provement societies are mot the least, In view of the needs and possibilities of our country, this work is just begun. The im- provements already made should be an en- couragement to still greater progress. Striking illustrations of the happy influ- ence of home adornments and of the sad effect of their neglect have often come under my observation. Two instances must here suflice. When surveying a town in New Hampshire, in order to adapt my lecture to local needs, as we passed a large house and spacious barns, with all the surroundings negiected and forlorn, my escort said: "Here lives the richest and meanest man of our town. Twenty years ago he brought here a refined young lady a bride. For a few years it was her ambition and delight to adorn her new home within and without At length her strong innate love of the beau tiful was cruelly crushed, for this thought- less, if not heartless, wretch would no longer permit ‘such waste of her time on good-for. nothing posies.' Driven to despair, she has been for years in the asylum among the in- curable insane.” When in Nebraska City, the guest of ex- Governor J. Sterling Morton, now secretary of the Department of Agriculture, I found a happy contrast to this mise wretched home. To Nebraska, when a territory, just ceded by the Indians to the United State and still a wilderness, he brought his brid A cultivated lady from Detroit, who cheer- fully made the best of their log hut. Soon flowers, shrubs and vines sprung up on every side, until a veritable Eden, laigely planted and tilled by her hands, surrounded that humble home. In a few years a stately mansion, beautiful within as well as without rose in its place. How much did her love of the beautiful and her purpose to create this Eden, on which her heart was set when she first saw this spot, and saw, its possi- bilities, lighten the burdens and lessen the privations of a ploneer life? Bright visions of a beautiful home were an inspiration and a benediction to that happy household years before they were fully realized. It seems fitting that such a home, well named **Arbor Lodge,"” should be the birthplace of Arbor day. - Not All Hoodlums. Chicago Tribune: Visit a pretty tough locality of the First ward?

FROM SHERIDAN TO NCRTHERN PACIFIC Cont the ors Wil at Work While Main Line Will Be Sent Westward—Now Com: mereial Fields, Once Tegin hing The ward Burlington people have ordercd a for- movement to the gap between Sheridan and the Northern Pacific road. The contract has been let to Kilpatrick Bros. & Colling, rafiroad contractors, who have built this road from Grand Island and who were stopped In their work of construction about the 1Ist of May last the pinching times that were expected, and had to be provided for by the Boston last May the contractors most of their teams and tools Sheridan, hoping for better the order to proceed. Lately these contractors have been impor- tuning the directors of the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy to complete the work connection to the Northern Pacific Manager Holdrege of the has scconded the plea of urging that the Burlington road should do something to stimulate the effort to bring good times and to give employment to some of the idle men who are facing starvation. The nervous situation In money matters had prevented a favorable consideration of the proposition from this end of the line, until finally it has been decided that as an act of humanity, and for the best interests of the country, as well as the road, it would be a wise move to make the large investment required—to continue the B. & M. to the Northern Pacific—the contractors agreeing to bear their portion by accepting less for the work than they received last year. This forward move, made in the teeth of hard times and general doubt and uncertainty means reduced wages, yet not to starvation figu The contractors for common labor west, owing to people. have kept at or near times for ince or and and. the General Burlington road the contractors are offering $1.25 a day and $1.40 per day for wheel-scraper holders and $16 per month and board for teamsters. The entire work lies in the Indian reservation, where no whisky mil n exist transportation will be given the men to the work. Probably or 3,000 men will be needed, as the work i to be completed by October 15, Sheridan, the present terminus of the road i 30 miles northwest of Omahla, in the heart of one of the finest agricultural dis- tricts in the west, and near excallent mining territory for gold and silver. Tuis new town containing now nearly 2,000 inhabitants, will be the metropolis of the Big Horn country. Her supplies must come from or through Omaha. The completion of the road to Bil- lings, or at a point twelve miles east, where the line makes connection with that road, means the opening up to Omaha of all the trade and traffic of Montana and the newer norghwest—Idaho, Oregon, Washington and the British Columbia region. Close trafiic arrangements have been made between the B. & M. and the Northern Pa- cific, and_when the Burlington road shall be completed to the Northern Pacific a fair e change of traffic will be made. Six thousand car loads of shingles were shippzd from Ore- gon last year to St. Paul, thence to Omaha for the Nebraska trade. After the 15th of October next 1 this traffic and trade will come direct to Sheridan, which by its loca- tion will be the distributing point east. The main line of the Burlington system will soon be pushed Trom Sheridan west to the Yellowstone park, either through it or south of it to Boise, and thence to San Fran- cisco. The Montana branch, now under con- struction and to be completed by October 15 next, makes direct connection with all the Northern Pacific_points, including Portland and Puget Sound cities, and by a further advance of 125 miles to Great Falls direct connection with the Great Northern will be made for all western points. The distance from St. Paul to Billings by the Northern Pacific is 892 miles; by way of the Burling- ton from Omaha to Billings, §75 miles. Thus by the new line Omaha is seventeen miles nearer Hel na, Butte ard all the Pacific coast towns than St. Paul. The distance from Helena, Mont., to St. ul is 1,130 miles; by way of the Union Pacific from Omaha to Helena is 1,503 miles; by the Burlington, under the new route through Sheridan, 1,113 miles, a saving of 390 miles for the Burling- ton. The new route opens up to Omaha the entire trade of Montana and the northwest country, including eventually the Puget Sound " trafic—the Japanese and Chiness ade via the Short Line from Vancouver, four days quicker time than from San Fran: cisco. The benefits to Omaha of the com- pletion of the road are almost boundless and Mr. Holdrege and Contractors Kilpatrick Bros. & Collins are entitled to great credit for their good work in urging the Boston people to consummate the move in these try- ing times. The small reduction in wages, considering that employment will be given when it is so badly needed, and consldering that the climate in this particular region of country is most delightful, excellent camp- ing places and purest water in the world, ete., will not be antagonized by any fair minded people. e A CELEBRATED CLAIMANT. McGarrahan's Health Prolonged § No more pathetic case of suffering, en- durance and hope deferred has been wit- nessed in the national capital than that of William McGarrahan, who wa committed to a public hospital, broken In health, last week. Billy McGarrahan is a national character. and every one at all acquainted with the proceedings of congress knows him and cll about h claim. For weeks past many people who have known him have not that he was becoming feebler, that he does not stand about the corridors, but secks a chair whenever he can get one. His kindly ce and patient smile, born of a thousand disappointments, have won the heart of every one who b come to know him There is no animosity in his nature, and though he might be living in a palace if he had his righ he ms to bear no hard feeling toward any one. He is very grate- ful for any kind word, Onl; lust week Senator entering the scnate, saw whose gray locks and more t yea one would command tion. “Thank you, senator, for what you sald for me,” he uttered, with a grateful glance and eyes that showed a mist gather- ing in them. There was no hypoerisy in those words, The senator warmly, “Billy, he said, “I am alw; what I can for you, I bee atisfled of the Justice of your claim yea AgO. “Thank you, senator, thank you, mist became thicker as from the door. That Is the way almost him, and is the way he McGarrahan has been for thirty-five years, and. a just one, he has found it necessary to ap pear before court after and cong after congr without getting any satis- faction, although victory always seems to be in sight The history of the case reads lke a ro- mance, In 1844 the Mexican government granted Vincent Gomez o tract of land in the territory which afterwards became Cali fornia. A treaty between this country and Mexico protected such grants, and in 1851 an act of con s8 created a board of com missloners to adjud the titles of persons claiming lands in California under Mexican Bra Under thig act ez asked for the confirmation of his title The board decided that he had given proof of the existence of the grant and the loss of his papers, but had failed to prove occupation, and on this ground, the grant was declared invalid Gomez appealed to the federal district court, and while it was pending a siinilar case was deelded, in which the court held that failure to take possession did not forfeit a grant The Gomez case then came up and was do- cided n his favor, but the government took an appeal to the supreme court Wm.

An ort was made toohave the government's appeal dismissed ar an order to that effect was entered on the idocket of the court, thus perfecting McGarrakan's title. In the meantime the squatters held pos- ssion of the land. They organized the New Idrin Mining company and went to work to keep McGarrahan /from getting possession of his property. They induced the supreme court to set aside fte order dismissing the peal, but after some ars the order was again fssued and thus for a second time Me- ahan's title was It was again confirmed, but the land commissioner refused to obey the order of the secre the interior to issue a patent. At la ever, the patent was issued, but it delivered. In 1866 the case took a ne \dthe supreme court decided against MeGarrahan. From that time down fo the present day claim has been fought over in congress at nearly every session. At the last sessfon a bill passed both houses confirming M whan's title, but President Harrison vetoed it because it did mot sufi clently protect the interests of the United States. Now it is again before the #enate. THE DRIVE WHEELS, t, how was not turn, the Interesting ¥ Obtained from College Experiments On looking at the driving wheels of a locomotive it will be noticed that the spaces between some of the spokes are partly filled with iron, making this part of each driver appear web-footed, as it were. The object of this metal is to counterbalance the wheel 0 as to make it run easily, and just now the master mechanics of the large railway companies are doing lots of hard studying on the subject. If the counterbalancing is omitted or is badly done the railway track is soon knocked to pieces by the blows of the unbalanced weight of the connecting rods and other parts, which act much like a hammer. In the mechanical laboratory at Purdue university, which was unfortunately burned a few ‘weeks ago, a locomotive was mounted on a movable track in such — a manner that it could be driven under all sorts of conditions, and the results noted with much more aceuracy than under outdoor working conditions. In the course of some experiments with this locomotive on the effect of counterbalancing it was found that at certain speeds the rear pair of driving wheels were off the rails for part of each revolution. The way in which th tected is quite interesting .Pieces of small round about eightcen feet long, were prepar nd when the locomotive was running at the required speed a piece of wire would be slipped between the rail and one of the rear drivers. This wire would bo pulled under the rail and thrown out in front of the wheel just like a bar in a rolling mill and by noting the amount of compression which the wire liad suffered it was possible to form some idea of the pressure of the wheel on the rail. At a speed of fifty-nine miles an hour it was found that a short length of wire would retain its full diameter, and at sixty-thres miles an hour between four and five feet would sometimes be without any indication of compression whatever, showing that the wheel was off the rail for nearly one-third of a revolution. The main or front pair of drivers were never shown to lift. Another interesting thing shown by these experiments is the accurrence of minute and extremely rapid vibrations' in the whecl. In order that definite effects impressed on the wire might be connected with definite phases in the motion of the wheel, a light nick was made across the face of the tire with a sharp chisel. This nick leaves a little projection on the wire, but it has been no- ticed that while there is only one nick on t wheel, there will sometimes be two projec- tions on the wire, the distance between them varying from an’ eighth to a quarter of an inch, showing that the wheel actually struck the wire two distinct blows in the space indi- cated. A quarter of an inch on the wire at sixty miles an hour corresponds to an interval of time of about 1-4000th part of a second, and this is assumed to be approxi- mately the time of the vibration alluded to. Sty IMPIBTIES 'ts The returned missionary beamed com- placently on h adoring hearers."Is it true, asked one soulful creature, hat you h succeeded in entirely banishing cannibalism in the island of Mbwkapa?" “It is, sister, it is," replied the missionary. “Instead’ of eating their enemies the natives now can them and peddle them to the benighted in- habitants of the neighboring Islands. We have a plant covering six acres, giving em- ployment to fifty heads of families, and it will not be long before our little island is the happy home of one of the richest com- munities in the south seas.'” A crusty old Welsh deacon was asked for the loan of the schooiroom for a concert. He granted the request on the understanding that no comic songs should be sung. The concert took place, a-ra-raboom-de aye” was sung. The Welsh deacon's cu- viosity was aroused by the applause. He asked what “Ta-ra-ra boom-de-aye” meant, and he was told that it was Greek for Haleliwia. Sunday was tne church anni- versary. The preacher held forth and the deacon began shouting, ‘‘Amen, amen, diolch, iddo,” etc., and all present were con- vulsed when he burst out ‘‘Ta-ra-ra boom-de- et o “We liave queer experiences in the houss of mourning,” said the ciergyman of th party.

This council is four- teen years old and me on the first and third Monday of each month at the council Washington hall. The council is taking on new life and is preparing its work in all parts of the city in wedish and English s, The Chosen Friends constitutes one of the most popular fraternal and orders of the world, and is growing rapidly, numbering among its mem- bers some of the leading thinkers of th United States and Canada. It admits on social equality men and women between the ages of 18 end 53 years, and it is so organized and conducted that those consclentiously op- posed to sec peleties can join and most artily endorse its methods. It makes prominent the literary and features, and has a most admirable business method for taking care of its sick and disabled member: It has paid out over $500,000 to members disabled by sickness or accident during their life, and is paying disability allowances every month, well as the old age and death benefits that are due under its constitution and by-law The order was organized at Indianapolis, and Hon. Will Cumback and others equally prominent we among the incorporators It now has over 800 councils, and last January created twenty-three new jurisdic tions, making Omaha the center of the Rocky Mountain distri embracing nine states, This dist is In charge of Grand District Councillor W. F. Eastman of this city, a man who has had a great deal of expericnce as a missionary and educator in the west, where he has labored so successfully that he enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who™ know him. Under his guiding hand a most promising growth seems to be in store for the order, as a number of Omaha’s most energetic workers are _cmployed with him as council organizers.

The reward of faithfulness and general goodness of character as exemplified in the daily walks of life, no matter what may be the station filled, many times are realized in fhis life, and are a source of satisfaction to the possessor, and likewise have a reach- ing influence upon the lives and happiness of those who may come in contact with them. Omaha lodge No. 18, Ancient Order of United Workmen, gave an expression on last Thursday night of its love for Mr. N. W. Charles,” who served them as financier for the past seven vears, and who, by his nobility of character has won high regard. The occasion was brought about by his hav- ing resigned his position in the lodge on ac- count of his intention of leaving the city. Words fittingly spoken by Dr. L. A. Mer- am on behalf of the lodge, although ex- pressed very forcibly and beautifully, were but a meager representation of the feelings of his fellow workmen. That Mr. Charles will be remembered by every member of the order and cherished as one worthy of the confidence and esteem of all with whom he may come in contact, a man of sterling qualities, and one In whom it is safe to trust at all times and in all places, is beyond question. The lodge meeting was well attended, and all gave expression of their regurd for the man they esteem so highly. Fitting resolu- tions were passed, and as a slight token of their respect, a beautiful gold headed canc was presented him, and a gold past master's badge, with suitable engraving for it, was ordered. Thus No. The best wishes and p will go with him_to hi and bespeak for him many added years in which he may enjoy the fruitage of his splendid life and work.

The sultani has issued the following call to the nobility: “Having heard the pleadings of the unbelievers, who weary of being in durkness these many moons and desire to take the journey to our sacred Mecca and there drink the sacred waters of Zem Zem with the faithful, it is my command that ye bring these infidels to our temple, that we may judge of their fitness and purity, whether they may become of the ‘elect.’ Tf it so be that they are truly desirous of abandoning their evil ways, we will wel- come and lead them across the burving sands into our oasis, where the date and palm flourish, and the waters of Zem Zem ever flow.
