A HOwling Dervish.

A Gallipoi correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes Rich in shrines and
monastic institutions, Gallipoli has been
from the early days of the Ottoman rule
in Europe stronghold of the faith. It
Bevs, the largest landed proprietors,
are mostly affiliated to one or other of
the orders; wealth and influence belong
here to Islam, and the rule of the high
priest of the howlers overrides that of
the appointed governor. An able, en-
terprising, intriguing, money getting
fellow is this distinguished dervish,
though you would hardly think it to see
him with bowing head and eyes cast
down, pale and ascetic of aspect, in
green pelisse and turbaned calpack,
slowly pacing the streets on his high
bred horse, with an attendant holding
either stirrup. Still less would you
think it if you saw him in mosque on
Tuesday or Friday, bowling like ma
MAC till he foams at the mouth and
drops exhausted. And yet this Hussam
Efendi is keen man of business, mail
ages vast estates with great ability, and
conducts extensive commercial opera
tions in timber and agricultural produce
with success. lends money to small far
mers, has large share in steam -four
mill and biscuit factory, and is one Of
the largest contractors for army and
navy supplies. 1t is impossible to be-
lieve that one of such practical mind as
Hussam Efendi should have faith in
the value, theologically speaking, of his
grotesque and painful ritual; but he
owes much of his influence to his repu.
tation for holiness, which, won by con.
slant and efficient bowling, is as sub.
stantial an item of his large stock in
trade as the engine in the biscuit facto
ry. Hussam Effendi's steadfastness tc
the rule of his order is thus by nc
means irreconcilable with his keen pur.
suit in this worlds goods.

The Uses of the Photograph.

1t would be indeed difficult to set a
limit to the uses to which this wonderful
instrument can be put. The discovery
of electricity gave the world first curl
osity, then a subject for careful scientific
investigation, and finally an agent that
must be regarded as one of the most
powerful at the disposal of man. Who
can say to what the phonograph and like
inventions may bring us Investigations
of the effect of the electric current on
metals led to the discovery of the mag
netic coil and of the telephone. The lat
ter most certainly led to the phonograpb,
and now the inventor of the phonograph
has perfected the telephone SO that an
utterance scarcely louder than whisper
can be heard through one thousand
miles of wire. More curious still is this
combination. The writer has heard the
phonograph speak through the telephone
over hundreds of miles OF wire. With
perfected instruments it is, therefore, pos
sible that speech delivered to-day by
one of the orators of the courts or Con-
gress can be repeated fifty years hence
simultaneously in thousand towns and
cities in the United States, word for
word, tone for tone, as it was uttered by
one who had long passed away. Thus
the greatest sentiments, the holiest les
sons, the wisest coun sells can be preserv-
ed in the very tones in which they were
first expressed, and an unbroken chain
of familiar sounds made to bind the pre-
sent days with those of the ages to
come .-Net0 York Herald.

The Seven Sleepers.

A lady in Brooklyn asks us what were
the names of the "Seven Sleepers and
where she will find their strange story
recited. The legend is attached to q
grotto on the southeast side OF Mount
Prion, which is q place of pilgrimage
not only with Christians, but with Mos
lems. IT is deep cave filed with sta
lactites. The Christian tradition is that
seven noble youths of Ephesus, named
Malchus, Macmillan, Martinian, John,
Serapion, Dionysius and Constantine,
being Christians, and as such threatened
with death under Emperor Diocletian
"a. d. 238- 304), fed from the city with
their dog to this cave, and there falling
asleep, woke not for 230 years which,
on their waking, we're to them as watch
in the night. They ventured down to
Ephesus, where to their amazement,
they found the cross everywhere in
honor, new coinage in the shops,
new costumes in the streets, new faces,
and new tongue. Thus displaced and
mistimed they soon died, and their bod
les we're taken to Marseilles where o
huge stone coffin is still shown as con-
tanning their remains, in the church of
st. Victor, the Oldest church in the city,
and once Benedictine convent which
dates as to its earliest parts from the
eleventh century. Mahomet believed
in the story and has embodied it in the
Koran, where it is told in |" the Chapter
of the Cave" The Turkish names of
the seven sleepers are Jemlika, Meshi-
lima, Mislina, Mernoos, Debbernoos,
Shazzernoos and Kephestetjoos. Their
dog, named Ketmeha, is held in equal
honor with themselves.
All these names the Turks think Of
good omen. They put them on build
ings by way of fire insurance, and on
swords to prevent their breaking. Ket-
meha has a place in Mahomet's para
disc, and at the bazaar in Ayasolook, on
the site of Ephesus, you can now buy
talismans engraved with his name and
the names of his masters. The central
idea of the legend is of all ages, from
that of Diogene Laertius, who incarnat-
ed it in the tale of Epimonides of Crete,
to that of Washington Irving, who en-
bodied it in the story of Rip Van Wrinkle.
One of its most poetic forms is that of
the legend of the monk Felix 30 grace

Earrings.

The Roman ladies of olden times used
earrings of pearls and precious stones,
and not unfrequently, like some of the
North American Indians, they had three
or four of these ornaments pendant to
each ear, which, unlike the Indian trim
kets of the present day at least. were of
immense value. The Moors of Africa
were also noted for the use of the same
ornaments. Many of the busts of
the heather gods have been found
to have earrings, or holes pierced
in the ears for that purpose. Some in
vestigators of antiquity have considered
this to be characteristic of the busts of
divinities, but this opinion does not ap-
pear to be well founded, as there are
many well known statues of mortals
which have the ears pierced. The fine
bust of Caracalla, in the Villa Borghese,
which is affixed to statue of Hercules,
has only the right ear pierced.

An Ex.Old Maids Advice.

But such marriages as mine are not to
be expected or even hoped for. 1t must
be exceedingly rare for woman of forty
years old to meet man whose age,
taste, habits and position make their
marriage promise Of happinessto both.
Such marriage is to be gratefully re-
joiced over if it comes, but it is possible
to be happy and useful without it. What
I mean to impress on the girls, when I
write to them, is that they should make
themselves able to stand alone. I'll
quote Margaret Fuller's words on tina
subject to them. With self-support
possible, unhappy marriages will be
prevented, a happy single life will be
made possible, and q happy marriage
will be more probable. Concise dlrec-
tionsa If I gave any they would be
like this:

A Deaf Mute Prodigy.

line NoU DOnn2flaOn MOntnty says:
We will conclude this article by men
tioning one instance of the extraordinary
intellectual calibre of congenial deaf
mute-a prodigy-which has never been
in print before. Some years ago
benevolent gentleman found red-head-
ed, ragged, little, deaf.mute in the
streets of Glasgow, and took him to the
school for deaf-mutes in that city. He
showed extraordinary intelligence, and
the gentleman thought he was rough
diamond, but capable of being highly
polished by education and training.
During the first session at school the
boy shot ahead of every other pupil, and
there were then more than hundred,
many of them having been there seven
or eight years. The rapidity with which
he learned was amazing; indeed; his
memory was so retentive that what he
once read he never forgot.
Such was the c,,libre of his mind that
nothing was too difficult for::his compre-
hension. He read books on mathe-
matics, metaphysics and the like
whether they were printed in English,
foreign or dead languages, which he
also read with ease. When school was
over he would rush to the library, take
out a lot of books under his arms, and
make his way to the nearest fire to read
them, while his schoolmates directed
their steps to the play ground. Such
was the force of habit that he would sit
near the fire even during summer while
he studied. No wonder, with mind so
we'll stored with knowledge, he was a
capital story-teller, and he never used
signs since the dey he could spell on his
fingers. He was appointed an assistant
teacher at the school, but he found the
task too irksome, and he left the institu-
ton to become common laborer In or
der to make money more rapidly to pur-
chase books, and neglected his bodily
wants.
His books increased in number very
fast, and they formed his table, chair
and bed, by being piled one upon an
other in his lodgings. They were his
only articles of furniture. The extraor-
dinary learning of this deaf and dumb
laborer attracted the attention of many
gentlemen and his employers, who
thought that he was not in his proper
sphere. They determined to give him q
better position, so that his fund Of
knowledge might be put to some use.
They visited his lodgings for this pur-
pose one day when he was not at his
work, and found him dead on his bed oi
books, having literally starved his body
TO death to feed his hungry mind. He
had everything ready for writing a book
which he said would astonish the world
There were several reams of paper and I
large bottle of ink, showing that he fully
intended to enter upon the work, bu
there was no indication of what work i
would be. His stock of books wer,
printed in several languages of the high
est kind of literature. He was sixteel
or eighteen years old when he died. II,
had fiorid countenance, red hair, green
ish eyes, inclining to blue, which CAV,
him peculiar expression.

An imperial NimrOd.

The Cologne Gazette in one of its last
numbers contains curious summary of
the achievements of the German EN-
peror in the hunting field. It seems
that since the year 1919, when, at e..
age of twenty-five, the Emperor, then
Prince William of Prussia, began hunt
ing, he kept schiessliste (shooting
list), in which he entered an accurate
account of the head of game killed by
his own hand. The list, formidable
one, commences with bison or aurochs,
now almost extinct animal, killed in
1869, when hunting in the extensive do
mains of the Prince of Piesz. Next
comes two bears, three wolves, 779 large
and 629 small boars, eleven chamois,
230 stays, 278 red deer, 845 fallow deer,
and las does. Of smaller games his
Majesty killed zoos hares, thirty-three
rabbits, thirty.nine foxes, eleven bad
gers, 910 pheasants and 1872 partridges.
The total number of head of game fall
ing under the gun of the German EN-
peror from the commencement of 1919
till the end of 1877 sums up 6,996, or
roundly 1000, being at the rate of about
100 per annum. His Majesty's long ca
reer as a sportsman, extending over very
nearly three score years, passed not en-
tirely without accidents. The most
serious of these was one that happened
on the 18th of December, 1919, when
Prince William, in the act of loading
his gun, while hunting with Herr Won
Wulknitz at Lanken, received shot in
the right hand, which necessitated the
amputation of the greater part of the
fore finger. The spot where this acci-
dent happened is marked by three trees,
planted in naemOriana.
