Prophets STANDARD.
MGhomet's Flag at the Head of His. Turk
ish FoILOtceTs. ~

A Madras Mussulman paper, the
Sumshal- -Unhbar, gives its readers the
following interesting information re-
specting the "Phrophet's Standard, y
which 1t states, "was enshrined among
the relics of the founder OF Islam in
Constantinople, and has been dispatched
to the scene of war, in order that the
valor of the Turkish troops may be slim
ulated through their religious feelings.
An English author, Mr. Thornton, has
published IL his book on Turkey copious
details regarding this standard, which Is
called 'Sunjack-l-Shu reef by the Turks,
who ascribe mysterious efficacy to 1t,
holding it in the highest veneration
-Mussulmans are forbidden to gaze
on it on pain of death, and it was this
threat which deferred Mr.. Thornton
from casting his eyes on it when the
standard was being paraded in the streets
of Constantinople after it had witnessed
a repulse of the Russians by the Turks
during the Crimean war. When the
Turkish army marches to war with The
sultan himself or his vizier at the head
the standard is displayed, and on catch
ing a glimpse of it every Moslem recite
his prayers while lending a hand in car
rying it. A splendid silk tent is erected
in front of which the standard is raised
guarded by forty chiefs of the empire
and four bodies of infantry. Another
writer, describing the standard says that
it is made OF four layers of silk, the top
most of which is green, those below com
posed of cloth embroidered with gold
Its entire Length is twelve feet, and from
it is suspended 5he figure of a huma'
hand, which clasps a copy of the koran
transcribed by the Caliph Osman. Il
times of peace the banner of the prophe
is kept in a chamber appropriated to tn
purpose, along with the clothes, teeth
the venerable locks, the stirrups, and tn
bow of the prophet"

DRUNKENNEss As 4 DIsEAsE.

The modern fashion of treatiFsirunk-
enness as a disease seems to have come
of late into dis7epute "Dipsomania .
is the learned name by which the disease
is called. Inebriate asylums have been
established for the treatment of this
malady, pauper patients being treated
freely if placed there on commitment,
while rich ones are obliged to pay. 1t
seems that the experiment has not been
altogether successful. The New York
Journal of C)mmerce says that the New
York city inebriate asylum on Ward's S
island is condemned as a failure both by
the physicians in charge and by the COM
missioners of charities and correction.
The asylum has had forty-three paying
patients during the past year, not one of
whom is announced as cured. The re-
lapse of the patients when discharged
"has been" says the chief of staff, ga
source of chagrin and disappointment to
the most sanguine friends of these in
firmaries." The number permanently
cured'' since the establishment, of the
asylum in 1868, could, fear" he says,
be established only by zeros." The
expenditures of the concern have been
large and the receipts small, the benefits,
according to the best accounts, being
slight The commissioners are of the
opinion that the funds lavishly spent
upon the asylum could be put to better
use. They have concluded that cha
bitual drunkenness is not to be regarded
as disease, but a habit practically
within the control of each individual
case" and that those "who desire ref
ormation can obtain the object at home
and with their families This is a sensi-
BILE conclusion. and agrees with the opin-
ion of intelligent men on the subject of
''dipsomania, though it is likely enough
there viii be an iHtemperate controversy
on this, as on other matters connected
with temperance.

OCEAN FIREWORKS.

The Victoria, from Glasgow, was
riding out heavy westerly gale about
half way across the Atlantic, on the 18th
ult.. when at six in the evening the at
mosphere improvised a rich display of
phosphoric fireworks. Balls of glowing
red fire the size ola mans fist danced up
on the yards and stays, and as they fell
exploded in mid air with a swapping re-
port. They chiefly alighted upon the
ends of yards, at intervals of foot
though likewise fayoring the centers,
and at times the vessel had the aspect
of being decorated for frst-class festi-
val. One of the balls burst close to the
nose of Mr.. Theodore Knox, the chief
officer. and for moment blinded him.
The noise was like that of pistol dis
charge. No debris struck the deck and
no smell was created. The balls were
atmospheric and impalpable. They eare
generally forerunners of a gale.-Neac

The following is an extract from lee
ture on education recently delivered il
St. Louis by Carl Schurz. All children
should be educated, but more especially
the girls. Some people claim that
women should have no education at all
while others went to the other extreme
and coDtended that every girl should re-
ceive such an education as to not only
make her selfsupporting in life but to
fit her for any position, political or other
wise, in life that man alone has hereto
fore filed. The speaker thought that all
avocations open to one sex should also
be open to the other, but the ideS that a
woman should educate herself to live
alone and independent of the othefSsex
should be discouraged. She should be
so educated as to be able to live alone,
but the desire in her to work for herself
and Independent of man should not be
cultivated. Any system tending to in
crease the number of old bachelors or old
maids should be cried down. Women
should receive the best attainable educa-
ton, and that should be made to embrace
a thorough kitchen and househou1d edu-
cation for various reasons, known to all.
Every family should have a home Of
their own and not live in aass...va. 5or
)arding house, where there cat no
secret privacy, and no feeling of mutusu
among the members of t,a..
amily. The woman's educa tion should
,e of business character. She should
znow. how to economic, how to adapt /
tEsrent wants to current means. She
hould have taste and judgment, and |
hat training and temper of mind and
Leart which imparts to home its cheer, |
nd gives to the husband place of en-.
oyment and relaxation. Woman is the
enter s6pxury and the center also of
amily virtues She may be either the
ood or the evil genius of society. Her
ducation in every branch that is con-
uctive to human happiness and the
rosperity of family and society Is there

lether she should know what kind of

IN ARCTIC WINTER.

tisn of darkness produced by an absence
OF fsunlight for one hundred and forty-two
days, was passed on board with much
cheerfulness and contentment; the time,
in reality, passed with great rapidity
and in January, when the first glimmer-
ing increase in the midday twilight began
to lengthen sensibly day by day, the
want of light was scarcely noticed by any
one; and not until the sun actually re
| turned on the first of March did we in
any way realize the intense darkness we
must have experienced for so long a pc
nod. On five evenings in the week a
school, formed on the lower D1eck under
commander Markham and several of the
officers, was well attended each Thurs
day being devoted to lectures, songs in
character, anoreading, with occasional
theatrical representations the whole so
admirably arranged aud conducted bv

CRACKED CHM.

A paragraph appeared. recently in the
Whitehall (England) Review about an
extraordinary price which had been Civ
en- for some Sevres china. The details OF
the purchase were rot given. The Mar
quis de Durfort had in his chateau at lie
Fert, Saint Cyr, two very small covered
vases in old rose Sevres. One day bat
few into the room where the vases were
and broke one the covers. The pieces
were fastened together as well as possible.
The vases had not attracted much notice
before, but this action drew attention to
them, especially of a gentleman who
was staying at the chateau. Some days
after the visitors departure another ar
rived with a letter of introduction from
the first, and a request that he might see
the marquis china. a secoRls visitor
examined the two vases very carefully,
and asked the marquis if he would sell
them. Certainly not, - was the answer.
Z" Not if give you good price?" 'No,
/ am no dealer in china, was the curt
reply. The visitor took his leave, but a
few days later the marquis received a
letter urgertly pressing him to sell, and
telling him to name any price. How
shall l get rid of this fellow?" said the
marquis to his steward. Ask an impos-
sible price say 10000 francs" was the
suggestion. The marquis did so, and re-
ceived a telegram saying: "The vases
aremine, I am coming with the money
The purchaser speedily arrived and pro
duced the right amount. The marquis
said: never 60 from my word, but l
should like to know for whom you are
buying" For sir Richard Wallace

plete; he had no rose color. He viii
