Zeal i'm MOhOmmedaniSm.

A letter from Alexandria says the
Pal Mall Gazette that never has pill
grimage to Mecca and Medina been so
numerously attended as the one which
was concluded at the beginning of the
present year. There is now at Mecca q
celebrated preacher whose reputation
has extended through the whole of
Arabia. He is regarded as saint and
a prophet, and the people from Turkey,
Northern Africa, the Soudan, Arabia
and India assembled in crowds to
listen to him. Among the pilgrims
were several Princes, such as the uncle
of the Shah of Persia and some Arabian
and African Sultans. All strictly full
filling the rules observed by the pill
grims, and even the Shah's uncle, who
is a man advanced ia years, entered
Mecca with only cloth round his
lions. An old man, feeling his end APP
preaching, travelled all the way from
Kurrachee to hear the celebrated
prophet, and died at Mecca shortly
after his arrival. The correspondent
also describes some sermons which
were addressed to the assembled pill
grims, apparently with considerable
effect. In one the preacher urged his
hearers to have as little intercourse
as possible with Christians and to alb
stain entirely from drinking wine, and
his words produced so much remorse
in some of the pilgrims that as he rode
away they threw themselves under his
horses hoofs. Another predicted that
within the next ten years the whole of
Europe would be under the rule of the
crescent and that the Sultan Of Con-
stantinople would conqner the Eastern
portion of the continent, including
Rome.

The Trade.WindS.

The earth turns on it's axis from west
to east, and with it rotates daily the
enormous envelope Of the atmosphere.
The velocity Of rotation at the equator
is something over 900 miles an hour;
at thirty degrees distance it is about $50
miles an hour less. In higher latitudes
it is still less; and at the poles nothing
Therefore, whenever the air moves
north Or south on the surface of the
earth, it will carry with it less or greater
velocity of rotation than the places it
passes over, and will turn into an east
erly or westerly wind, according as it
approaches or recedes from the equa-
tor. In the region Of the suns greatest
heat, the air, rarefed and lightened, is
continually rising, and cooler currents
come in on both sides to take the place
of the ascending volume. AS these
trade-currents come from distance of
about thirty degrees from the equator,
they have, at starting, an eastward We
locity many miles an hour less than the
qualities they will eventually reach.
Consequently they will appear to lag
behind in all the course of their pro-
gress to the equator is, they will
have a westerly motion united with
their north and south movements. These
are the great trade-winds, blowing con-
stantly from the northeast on this side,
and the southeast On the other side Of
the equater.-C c. Merrlnaaaa, IN Popat-

To all, particularly invalids, spring is a trying
season. Indications Of sickness should at once
be attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by
allowing the bowels to become consipated, and
the system to remain in a disordered condition,
until the disorder has time to develop itself. An
ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure, is
an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints now

The Flash of Fire.

The great Mexican feast Of the New
Fire one of the most striking inventions
in any religion. The creation myth, as
given by Ixtlilxochitl, represents three
past distinctions of the earth's inhabi-
tants, and one to come. In the Mexi-
can chronology every ffty-twO years
was called sheaf of years, and the
festival at the close of this period was
known as Toxilmolpila, "the binding
up of years." Then it was that the de-
struction of the world should take
place when it's time was come. The
last five days of the year were "un-
lucky" The images Of the gods were
broken, for the old gods were no longer
powerful to protect unless the world
had q new lease of existence. Fires
were extinguished, household articles
and garments were thrown into dis
order, in readiness for the reign Of an
archy. Absolute despair took posses
sion of mankind, who believed their
critical hour to have come. On the
last day of the year the priests in full
robes took their way after nightfall to
the summit of a monument about six
miles from Mexico. Reaching the
mountain just before midnight, the
priests watched the Pleiades pass the
zenith, which was the new trial of the
new fire. The finest captive in the en-
pire had been brought in the process
sloion, and being thrown down, a piece
OF very dry wood was laid on his breast,
and at the critical moment priest
whirled rapidly stick pressed against it,
q q yrh 10 10
on the housetops in the city, and in
tently watched the mountain top.
Children were masked with leaves of
Indian corn, and kept awake lest they
should turn into mice. When the fire
broke from the end of the priests
stick, a funeral pile was instantly light
ed, and the captive sacrificed and
thrown upon it. The blazing pyre an
nounced to the multitudes that the
world had fifty-two years more to live
Blood was drawn from every ear, even
to the children in the cradle. Runners
brought brands from the new fire, and
the people FASTENED to light their
hearth fires. New articles took the
place Of those destroyed, and the peo-
pie, after passing through the greatest
dread that can afflict the human mind
leaped with exultation. Boys born
during this festival were named "mol-
pill" tied object, and girls "xiuhnen-
ell" little doll of the year of fire.
The last Of these festivals was cele-
brated in 1907. Before the new cycle
could be completed, the Aztec world
has passed away in disorders and suf-
ferings as great as any their priests had
predicted, though the earth was solid
as ever. The next sheaf of years
should have been bound up in 1869,
but We hear nothing of any observances

Strange Stories.

zone Of the strangest stories that
ever begulded a winters night was that
of the disappearance of a stone house
IN London while its owners were Jour
neying In the Holy Land. This could
scarcely happen in these days of tele-
graph and steam. Neighbors who saw
the great gate taken away, the furni-
ture removed, and every brick and
stone carried off in broad daylight,
never imagined the workmen were rob-
bers, and SO did not interfere. But,
that strange things happen in New York
as we'll as London, was demonstrated
beyond doubt this spring. On that
part of Fifth avenue which faces Cen
trail Park, an expensive brown stone
front house in a newly unoccupied
block, was rented by snowy man call
himself captain -. It was furnished
thoroughly and elegantly by some
dawn-town upholsterers, pictures, bron-
yes, &C., were added, great hampers of
wines and provisions were brought, an
iceman, a butcher, baker and grocer
were engaged, and the whole establish
ment ready for its occupants. An old
gentleman, a neighbor, with nothing
else to do, amused himself by looking
at the contents Of the house, and one
day penetrated the kitchen, where he
found plumbers taking out the range,
who said ''the captain didn't like it, and
had ordered different patent" The
family failed to come for fortnight,
the ice man, the butcher, baker and
grocer came for orders, but found no
customers. Finally the neighborly old
gentleman told policeman he thought
there was something wrong about that
house, and SO there was-for, on open
ing it, it was found entirely empty.
Not only the furniture was gone, but
the mantles, CRATES, range furnace,
everything portable was missing. And
where is the gallant Captain -?
Gone to keep a stylish boarding house
at the centennial.

Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
either mercury, in some form, or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of
these agents have strong tendency to break
down the blood corpuscles, and debilitate
and otherwise permanently injure the hui
man SYSTEM and should therefore be dis
carded. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery on the other hand, being composed
of the fluid extracts of native plants, barks
and roots, will in no case produce injury,
it's effects being strengthening and curative
only. Sarsaparilla, which used to enjoy
quite reputation as a blood purifier, is a
remedy of thirty years ago, and may well
give place as it is doing, to the more posi-
tive and valuable vegetable alternatives which
later medical investigation and discovery
has brought to light. In Scrofula or Kings

Goodenough, of the British navy, was

RELICS OF A DEAD RACE.

Wonderful Discoveries by an Artist I'm
the Caves of the Ozark Mountains.
The Missouri Republican says Mr..
A. j. Conant, the artist, returned recent
ly from the Ozark Mountains, where he
passed week in exploring some
remarkable caves on the Gasconade
and tributary streams, lying principally
In Phelps and Pulaski counties. Mr..
Conant about two years ago made some
interesting discoveries in the regions
mentioned of human skulls and skele-
tons, supposed to belong to a people
who existed before the historic period,
and as it is understood that he has been
engaged since 1862 in collecting the
materials of a work on archaeology, it
may be well supposed that he is
enthusiastic In following up his dis
coveries.
He and his party first visited Bruce's
cave SO named after one of the early
settl RS, who made saltpeter from the
cave deposits. The cavern is in the
limestone formation, with an entrance
about one hundred and thirty feet in
the bluffs above the Gasconade river
They first entered a spacious chamber,
WClO AOAoOo w SOoNOWA vi CIlcu k11GtS
and crawl some distance. They next
made perpendicular ascent of fifty
feet, when they entered a large cham
Der sparkling with stalactit of a snowy
Whiteness like alabaster with hundreds
of bats hanging in festoons from the
roof. Having explored the caverns,
the work of excavating begun at
the mouth Of the cave, where bones
and implements were found. They
made vertical section of six feet, and
studied the qualification of the soft
deposits. The layers changed from a
black, rich soil, to ashes, alternately
with strata composed of soil and ashes
intermixed. 1t was in these strata that
human bones and fragments were
found. The skulls exhibits low
facial angle, and the teeth, some of
which dropped out, are well preserved.
There is the skull of an old man,
known from the knitting together of
the sutures, and also one of an infant
of almost wafer-like thinness, and the
several parts separated at the sutures.
Beside the skulls were also found arrow
and spear heads, flint implements,
knives and avis for sewing skins, made
of bone, very hard and polished; also
the bones of the turtle, deer and wild
turkey, intermingled with various frag-
ments of carnivorous and browsing an
imals not yet identified. Great care
was required in exhuming these re-
mains, as the skulls were liable to be
broken by the pick.
The second cave explored was about
a mile distant from the former, and is
locally known as Ash cave, from the
fact that there is a deposit of ashes
from the saltpetre manufactured there
about thirty years ago. These satpetre
operations have SO far disturbed the
original deposits that nothing satisfac-
tory could be obtained, except one
corpse, which was found in a sitting
posture, with the knees drawn up on
the face. With this corpse was also
found the nearly entire skeleton, very
much decayed, of an elk or large sized
deer.

How to Break off Bad Habits.

Understand the reasons, and all the
reasons, why the habit is injurious.
Study. the subject until there is no
lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid
the places, the persons, and thoughts
that lead to temptation. Frequent
the places, associate with the persons,
indulge IN the thoughts that lead away
from temptation. Keep busy; idle
ness is the strength of bad habits. Do
not give up the struggle when you
have broken your resolution once.
twice-a THOUSAND times. That only
shows how much need there is for YOU
to strive. When you have broken
your resolutions, just think the matter
over and endeavor to understand why
it is you failed, SO that you may be on
your guard against a recurrence of the
same circumstances. Do not think it
an easy thing that you have under
taken. 1t is folly to expect to break off
habit in a day which may have been
gathering long years.
