To heal cut fingers with ra-
pidity, wrap them in a cloth sat
nrated with alum water.

moved from wash goods by dip
ping the fabric in cold rain wa
ter and soda.
To clean willow furniture use
salt and water, and apply with
a coarse brush and dry thorough

The best treatment for spralns

soap and warm water. This
may be applied to either the
hands or clothing.

Our Carnival.
SIX DAYS OF GORGEOUS PAGEANTRn AND

83, issued BY the Royal Herald
publishers, the Mardi Gras fes-.
tivities in New Orleans next Feb

" Bathurst" Lord High Cham
berlain to the King of the Oarni-

Monday from Paris, where he
had been looking after the para
phernalia of Rex and his retinne.
The pageants this time, it is
claimed, will eclipse any ever
seen. The Knights of and
the knights of Protens will hold
their great Nocturnal parades on
separate nights, and they are
keeping secret the subjects they
propose to illustrate in moving
illuminated tableaux in their
street pageants. Each intends
to Guido the other. The Order
Of Moons will stick to its humo-
rous caricatnres. Carnival week
will open February / with Mo-
mus IN its nightpageant. During
the week will occur the joyous
festival of the Liedertafei; the
magnificent ball of the I. O. O.
Nj. (Full Moons), and the royal
competitive drill for $4,000,
$4,000 and $500. The Chicka-
saw Guards, Crescent Rifles and
] other crack companies are to
9appear in competition. On Mon
day, February A, his majesty,
, king Of the carnival, enters the
y city, accepts the keys from the
authorities and assumes control
for 48 hours. On the evening
0f that day occurs the elegant
nocturnal parade OF the Protens
Knights. Tuesday, the 5th, "oul

jewish CHILDREN FOR PALESTINE.
The first party of destitute Jewish chill
dren arrived few weeks ago at Vienna
from Russia on the road to Palestine
whittier they are to be conducted by the
agents of the Jewish Alliance. There
are twenty-eight boys and five girls,
varying in age from one to twelve. The
boys are to proceed to Jaffa in Palestine,
where they will be brought up and edu-
Gated under the supervision of DR.. Schaf-
Ter, Jewish physician, who has given up
his practice in Paris to devote himself to
this humane undertaking. The five girls
will probably be adopted by families of
this town. The parents were amongst
the victims of the anti-Semitic disturb
ances at Kief, Odessa, and other parts
of Russia. Others were either driven out
of house and home, never to return, or
compelled to fly. The Jewish Alliance
provided its little proteg6s with warm
winter clothing, and they look healthy
and well cared for. The elder ones man
ifest regret at leaving their own country,
and have learnt melancholy sounding
patriotic chorus which they sing on sit
ting down to their meals.

=" There shall arise, said Jesus, con
corning the last days, false Ohrists and
false prophets, so as to lead astray." In
connexion with such words wequote part
OF an article that appeared in Tie SDecta-
tor of the 31st ult =
One of the most striking signs of the
deep unrest within the Mahommedan
world Is the increased expectation of the
Immediate arrival Of the Mehdi. All
good Mussulmans Of all sects, whether
orthodox or heretical, believe that in the
dark hour of Islam, God will send down
a Mehdi, or Teacher, whom Mahommed
himself foresaw. The belief of late has
taken strong hold of the Mussulman
mind, has become a dogma instead of a
recognised idea, and crops up in many
places at once. 1t is so general in Arabia
and Syria, that the Turks watch the
family at Mecca from which the Mebdi
should come with an intentness that has
already produced tragical results. It is
the evident belief of Mr.. Blunt, the Ara
ban traveller, that the next aspirant for
power In that region will call himself ri
Mehdl, the Teacher, who is expected, and
that If he wins the smallest skirmisb halt
Arabia will flock to his STANDARD. Tn
Egypt, the followers of. Col. Arab are
said to be earnestly watching for the
promised deliverer; while in Tripo1i q
correspondent of The Times, evidently
possessed of unusual information. declares
that FL Mehdi, the sacro-sanct head Of
the Senoussia community, which is obeyed
by Mahommedan tribes of the Desert
claims to be the long-expected Teacher,
and promises to proclaim himself openly
to the world on November %, 1882. 4
prophecy to that effect has been careful
lly circulated for some years through the
Moorish Mussulman world. 1t is couched
IN these words -" On the first of the
month of Moharram, in the year 1900
November IL, 1882 will appear the El
Mehdl, or Messiah He will be exactly
forty years Of age, and of noble bearing.
One arm Will be longer than the other
his father s name will be Muhammed. his
mothers Fatima, and he will be hidden
