any particular locality is called a zaouia
which seems at once to be a chapel, a
school, q place of refuge, hospital, a
library, and political debating club. The
brethren are charged with the task of pre-
serving complete record of contem-
poraneous events. The most celebrated
and important of all these zaouias was
that founded by Senoussi about thirty
years ago at Djarbub, an oasis about
twenty-five days journey inland from Ben
ghazi, and not very far, therefore, from
the western frontier of Upper Egypt. He
then established no less than three hun
dred of these convent sanctuaries in every
considerable place between Morocco and
Mecca, and appointed mukaddepain or
Wears in every part of Islam.
In 1860 Senoussi died, leaving two sons.
the elder of whom bore the name of Ell
MehIli. or The Director. Before his death
Senoussi sent emissaries to convey guard
ed hints to his followers that glorious fu-
ture was in store for his son. The pros
perity of the zaouia at Diaroub increased.
Pilgrims to Mecca from North Africa. as
well as those coming from Bornon and the
Saharian provinces, focked in thousands
with their offerings, while the sultans of
the interior sent caravans laden with
ivory and ostrich feathers and other costly
presents to the great saint. At the same
time the ca4goes of arms and ammunition
for the purpose of arming the Arabs all
through the interior arrived from Europe
at the almost unknown harbors of the
coast. The zaouias of the Senoussia in
creased in number, and their tenets
gained gronnd in countries fan

his followers and became a hermit, thus
seeking to involve his very existence in
mystery. This proceeding at once in
creased his fame. From zaouia to zaouia of

The Sea Kings Grave.
by REsNELL ROOD.

High over the wild sea border, on the furthest
downs TO the West,
Is the green grave mound of the Norseman,
with the yew tree grove ON its crest.
And heard in the winds his story, as they
leapt up salt from the wave,
And tore at the creaking branches that grew
from the sea kings grave.
Some son OF the old world Vikings the wild
sea-wundering lords,
Who sailed in Il snakc-prowed galley, with
terror oftweniy swords;
From the lords of tho sunless winter, they
came on an Icy blast,
Till over the whole worlds seaboard the shad-
ow of Odin passed,
Till they sped to the inland waters and under
the Southland skies,
And stared on the puy princes, with their
blue, VICTORIOUS eyes. l,E w 81
And they said ne was old and royal, and a war
rior all his days,
But the king who had slain his brother lived
yet in the island ways.
And he came from hundred battles, and died
in his last wild quest,
For he said: 81 will have my vengeance, and
then will take my rest"
He had passed on his homeward journey, and
the king OF the isles was dead;
He had drunken the draught of triumph, and
his cup was the isle kings head;
And he spoke of the song and feasting and the
gladness of things to be,
And three days over the water they rowed on
waveless sea.
Till a small cloud rose to the shoreward, and a
gust broke out of the cloud,
And the spray beat over the rowers, and the
murmlir of wind was loud
With the voice of the far-off thunder, till the
shuddering air grew warm,
And the day was so dark as ever, and the wild
god rode on the storm.
But the old man laughed in the thunder as he
set his casque on his brow,
And he waved his sword in the lightnings and
chung to the painted PROV
And the shaft of the storm gods culver flash
s,edout from the fiame-fiushed skies,
Rang down on his war~worn harness, and
cleaned in his fiery eyes.
And his mail and his crested helmet, and his
hair and his beard burned red;
And they said: at is Odin calls;" and he fell,
and they found him dead.
So here, in his war guise armored, they laid
him down to his rest,
In his casque with the reindeer anters and
the long gray beard on his breast
His bier was the spoil of the islands, with sail
for a shroud beneath,
And an oar of his blood-red galley, and his bat
tie brand in the sheath;
And they buried his bow beside him, and plant
ed the grove of yew,
For the grave of mighty archer, one tree for
each of his crew;
Where howerless cliffs are sheerest, where the
sea birds circle and swarm,
And the rocks are at war with the waters, with
their jagged gray teeth in the storm;
And the huge Atlantic pillows sweep in, and
the mists inclose
The bill with the grass-grown mound where
the Norseman's yew tree grows.

Somnambulism in Dogs.

There is something peculiar about
somnambulism when considered from a
scientific and philosophical standpoint.
The sleep-walker, it will be found, still
retains dim idea, even while he is
asleep, of the condition of affairs when
he went to sleep. For instance, if he
leaves his clothes in n certain part of
the room on retiring, he knows when he
rises just where to find them, even in
the dark. This is question which
opens up wonderful field for physio-
logical and mental research.
While young and giddy we became q
somnambulist and excited great deal
OF curiosity by our strange freaks dur
ing sleep, and this one question of the
slumbering mind and its memory of
facts existing prior to sleep was the
most remarkable thing about it all to
us. We puzzled over that good deal.
At night we would retire to rest and the
next thing we would know we would
wake up in the middle of contiguous
melon patch, and there would be two
or three other somnambulists there in
the same patch, and as much surprised
as we were. Still there is the same
truth staring us in the face. Every
somnambulist there had through his
sleep retained in his semi-conscious
state perfect recollection of where ev-
cry article of his clothing was and how
to get out of the upstairs window with
out waking the old people.
Bye and bye the owner of the melon
patch procured, at great expense, q
large humorous bulldog. who was also
a somnambulist. He walked in his sleep
a good deal. That is why we quit. We
didn't propose to descend to the level of
the brute creation. We just said, if q
bulldog wants to somnam, ho can do SO
and we will leave the field to him.
We made this resolution one night
just after we had plugged q watermel-
on. While STOPPING over in the act, we
felt q pang of conscience and heard our
suspenders break.
Perhaps the casual reader has never
sat down on buzz saw and felt himself
gradually fading away. If so he does not
know what it is to form the acquaint-
ance of Il somnambulist bulldog in the
prime of life.
After that, somnambulism didn't have
such run in our family for awhile.
We never slept so sound that we didn't
remember places and objects that had
made an impression us prior to SUM-
Der, and that is why we say that there
is something in this matter that scien-
lists would do well TO look into

Another Kind CT Doctors Shop.

Old Bill McGammon, who keeps .
grocery store in the suburbs of Austin,
Is one of the closest men in the State of
Texas, and he abbreviates his words in
writing. He abbreviated the names on
the drawers and boxes of contents in his
grocery, instead of painting the names
in full. For instance, be painted on the
sugar barrel 'Br. Sugar, " for brown sug-
ar and so on.
Last Tuesday feeble looking strang-
er dropped into Bill McGammon's store,
and after looking around, said:
''Is DIR. Prunes inp''
Old McGammon stared, and said he
reckoned not.

the stranger.

emphatically.

eff this is grocery store, then you
had better carry back them doctors

responded the stranger, strolling out.
Old McGammon looked where the
stranger had pointed, and for the first
time noticed the result of his abbreviat-
ing the word ''Dried'' into cdr" for on
the drawers he read, in large letters:
DIR. Prunes, DIR. Peaches, DR.. CQlfsh,

Cookery is an art for which peculiar

results. A serious error is to suppose
that the subject of what one eats and
drinks is unimportant, for the fact re-
mains that scarcely one material coll
sideration is of so far reaching effect as
that of the kitchen. When one reflects
upon the dependence of the mind and
character upon the bodily condition,
and how closely the latter is involved
in the material that supplies it, one can

WASHINGTON NOTES.
HERBERT SPENCER AT THE CAPITAL


Mr.. Herbert Spencer, the great English
philosopher, is in Washington. He wand
ers about during Sunday accompanied by
his friend, Mr. LOwn, peering into the store
windows, and dropping into the public
buildings, as the fancy suits. They are both
very deliberate in their movements. Mr..
Lown Is evidently the leader on all voyages
of discovery. 1t is an interesting spectacle
to watch the author of "Principia" balanc-
ing himself on the edge of a curbstone,
while his companion points out some object
on the other side of the street to be investi-
gated. The spectator sees man of medi
um height, rather sparely built, with long
face, slight mutton-chOp whiskers, COM
plexion full and ruddy, and an immense
pair of spectacles concealing his eyes; n
soft felt hat of gray color and remarkable
shape and size is pulled down on the back
of his head, making q sort of nimbus, and
the masses of grayish hair escaping from
under it rather strengthen the nimbus inn
preston. AS he cones nearer the impress
sion received at distance that his clothes
do not fit him is confirmed, but steady,
firm tread and pair of broad-soled English
walking-ShoeS show that the distinguished
foreigner Is accustomed to walking. His
companion who is of heavier build and
seems older, is said to be prominent in liter
airy circles in England. Mr.. Spencer am
nOunced when he came to this country that
he came for rest, and did not wish to be
troubled with receptions and other atten-
tons. Since he has been here he has re-
ceived no visitors, and has made no visits.

ANILL-CHosEN SITE.

A citizen writes to Washington paper
as follows: among the acts passed during
the late session of congress was one appro-
priating $500, 900 for a pension office build
ing. 1t appears that the site selected is the
cow-yard on Il street. between Hooker'S di-
vision and Murder bay. The cow.yard Is
situated on the lowest ground in the city,
but little if any above ordinary high tide.
The old canal lately filled up ran through it,
and it is frequently covered with the over
flow water of the B.street sewer. A year
or two ago the yard and its locality were
covered with six feet of water during. q
freshet. 1t Is bottomless lot, and no build
ing can be erected upon it except by piling.
A cellar or basement could only be used for
propagating sightless fish, and even the first
floor of the building would have to be at
least seven feet above grade to insure
against overflow. AS to its surroundings,
the cow-yard is bounded on the north by
low grOggeries and houses of nameleSS
no stores, on the east by horse and cattle
bazaars, tar, turpentne, and tallow stores,
depots for hides, hair, bones old iron, and
rags, grain, lime plaster, and cement houses,
with stores, stalls, and streets used as q
country market. On the south by the Il
street sewer, manure, malarial, and Smith
sonian grounds; on the west by saw and
planning mills, iron foundrieS, livery stables,
lumber yards, asphalt works, gin mills, anu
the filthy old rookeries of Munday bay. To
reach the locality from Pennsylvania az
enue you are compelled to pass through the
lowest and ylest section of the city, not
safe for gentlemen at night or ladies by
day. And this is the sight selected for this
building containing records of incalculable
value), endangered to destruction by fire
from tie cOmbustible nature of its surround
ings; and all in the name Of economy. The
government seizes upon the only free mark
CT place i'm the city, for the alleged reason
TO save the expense of the purchase of a lot.
Economy? Why, it will cost twice the
amount TO obtain foundation I'm the cow
yard that good-sized lot I'm suitable To-
cation would have cost. Is 1t too late for
the blunder to be corrected?"
