A Sham Messiah.

The Alexandrian correspondent OF the Ju-
dlSche Presse writes That the oppressive con-
duct OF the Sultan of Yemen toward The
Jews at the time OF DR.. Stern's mission to
Saana, was turned TO account by an amoi-
uous dreamer, In the province of Hadra-
maui, who, from his Youth had devoted
himself 70 the study OF the cGb6dJdh, by de-
claring publicly that he was selected by
Providence 10 gather the Jews from all cor
ners OF the globe, and lead them back to Je-
rusalem. He principally referred by way of
ploof 10 the words addressed by the dying
patriarch TO his twelve sons, aud which as
known, run thus: "And viii announce To
you what Will happen TO You in The latter
days." lGenesis xii, IL From these words

that as soon as Islam should have reached
It's thirteenth century Its dominion would

her country. This new Messiah, generally
called Ibn David (son of David found nu-
merous followers, not only among the Jews
OF dadramaut, but also among those OF Ys.
men, and on all sides the news spread that
the true Messiah OF the Jews had come, and
mat he would soon take up his abode in
Ell Kuds (Jerusalem). Pilgrims now arrived
from all parts OF Arabia, brou ght h i'm yalua-
pie presents, and declared themselves ready
10 combat the Arabs under his banner. In
some parts of Arabia the Jews went even SO
FAR as TO alter the text of the prayers. But

the Messiah deemed it expedient for the mo-

did not quite agree with this resolution, out
nevertheless submitted to the will OF their
lord. Ibn David (SuleIman was mis- real

CLEANLINESS OF FLATS
Every one who has lived in a nall town

how COZ veDient ii would al once become IL

walked from the kitchen through the dining
ana drawing rooms and the best bedroom
into the day nursery, and, perm APPS, 10 an
one would be made by the back rooms from
the servants hall 10 the box-ro)m I'm the
ROOF. A few OF these tall houses turned on
In eIt sides and PILED one on top Of the other
and there Is no reason why some should not
consist of two stories, IL required. There
ought ought 70 o, De an endless variety, SO that
and habits. II "lady helps" are TO sue
coed anywhere II viii be In flats. The
work Is easier, and need not be SO
basement story. A great part OF the diff
hculty of cooking consists in the stupid
way In which We arrange our kitchens. More
mess Is made In an ordinary house in q day
than ought TO be made In a year III servants
were careful. They are always cleaning be-
cause they are unnecessarily dirtying:
Apartments on the fat system, too, would
be great convenience to people who are
much IN the habit OF going away for few
Gays at time, and would be more comfort
aole and not more expensive than lodgings
or an ROtel 10 people who come TO town only
Iof the season. To young married couples of
small means they would be Invaluable.
Inere Is no reason why, for those who wish
TO be boarded as well as lodged, adequate ar
rangements should not be made; but il would
be well that this should be done better than
Is usually the case. Here cooperation
might come in. Without Obliging people to
dine in public room, there mi ght be house
dinner at a fixed price. But this is always
difficult thing to manage, and the arrange
ment IS rarely satisfactory.
THE JANITOR NUISANCE.
In building flats I'm London there are two
essential points in which il is desirable that
they should differ from those in Paris. There
must be In each suite proper sleeping accom-
modat1On for the servants. Nothing can be
more barbarous than the way in which
French servants are herded together In gar
rets without ceilings under the states, where
tney are boiled into apoplexy in the summer
and frozen with intense cod in winter. The
immortality amongst the servants is, we be-
lleve ,Scandalous. 1t could scarcely be other
wise, when We consider that they have a
staircase, often into the street. and
no supervision. The other thing to be avoid
ed Is starting such pernicious system as
that of the concierge. The Parisians writhe
under the yoke, but they are helpless The
complete master of the position.
He is spy, a tyTant, a cheat. He will do
nothing without being paid for it-not even
give people their letters; and he will do any,
lhlng III he gets money enough for doing ii.
L Iats might he under police control, IL neces-
safy, but the lnhabitant should not be at the
mercy OF the hall porter.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FIcrIoN-s 4
There was one old fox which for period OF
several years had continually evaded the
heetest and keenest- scented hounds, the
scent invariably being lost I'm the vicinity OF
a house situated In the woods and far re-
moved from any habitation. and which was
nsed as storehouse for pelts. At last one
day the hounds started the old fox. and away
he went in the direction OF the house, with q
PACK OF young hounds In full cry after him,
put on nearing the house he disappeared
leaving the hounds and hunters nom lussed
as usual. While the hunters were gathered
In and around the house discussing the ire
quelt mysterious disappearance of the fox
an aMFeteran hound came limpiug up, and
tried 10 imp up on the wall. His singular
action attracted the attention of the hun tiers,
and an examination being made, the old fox
wasfound suspended by his tail to a nan In
the wall, keeping perfectly still, and looking
unless closely observed, like the pelts with
which the walls were hung. This plainly
showed that the old fox, when too closely
pressed, had taken refuge In the house. and
hung himself up on the nail by his tail,
which was the reason for the dogs always
losing the scent at tha< particular place

DEAN STANLEY ON CHURCH DIsEsrAB-
LIsHMENT.-In letter to the Nonconformist
Dean Stanley has stated his reasons for
king that the disestablishment of the
church would be policy luxurious TO the
best interests OF freedom, of charity and or
progress" So long, he holds, as the civil
ministers OF the church are to remain In i ts
service, the clergy will be q much more
liberal-minded and cultivated body OF men.
the clerical ONCE would be Judged BY the
hierarchy of the church, and 1t would rapidly
become narrow sect. 1t would probably
fall into the hands OF the ROmanists, or Of
case, IL is certain that neither would Rob-
ert Mohat be allowed to lecture, nor an Isaac
watts 70 have monument, nor q David
Livingstone to have grave within the walls
OF Westminster Abbey, or In any English
cathedral. "-Londou ExMniner.
