The law of Mohammed forbids the carrying of any luxurious ornament except a ring, the value of which must not ex ceed that of a winding sheet. Magnus Johnson, recently elected Farmer-Labor Senator from Minnes sota, made the following statement: “Sixty-five per cent of the wealth of this country is in the hands of two per cent of the population, and unless there is a better distribution of this wealth, the common people are going to revolt against it.” A competition among dye-makers is to be held in an effort to produce khaki cloth that will not fade.

An acre burial plot near Lancaster, Ohio, was bequeathed by Nathaniel Wilson 100 years ago to President Andrew Jackson as a burial place and to his successors in the Presiden cy.
