THE M4ELSTROM,

The most celebrated of whirlpools is
that called the Maelstrom, which lies to
the southwark of the Lofoden islands.
off the coast of Norway, near a large
rock in the middle of the strait dividing
the islands of Vaer and Moskenes. It
is produced by the conflicting currents
of one of the great Norwegian fiords.
There are most extraordinary and ro-
mantle legends concerning the Mael-
strom, but careful observations have
shown that the peril has been magnifed.
At food or ebb tide in summer it offers
no danger even to small boats. But in
winter, and during stormy weather,
even large ships and steamers do not
dare venture near it. At certain states
of the wind and tide during this season
the whole stream boils in mighty whirls,
against which the largest vessels would
contend in vain. These whirling waters
would not suck vessels down in their
vortex, however, as formerly believed,
but would infallibly dash them on the
rocks, or, in case of small ships. swamp

than this simple recognition of religion
at all times, in all places-aH life SEEM

the presence of God. In every greet

Some of the more ignorant use the com
mon formula, which is forever on their

is unlawful food. For this reason no
Mohammedan servant will ever touch
the preserved meats which come from
England, as he can have no proof of
their having been lawfully slain.
Neither will he eat of things shot, IN
less he can run up in time to cut the
throat and let the blood flow before the

In fact the life of a good Moslem
seems all interviewer with forms and
ceremonies, and the law of the Koran

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Els DIGNITY HURT.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Postmaster
Adrian, of Baltimore, recently wrote Post
master General Gresham. that the civil
service commission were communicating
directly with the members of the examin.
ing local board at Baltimore who were
employees in his Office and in his, Adrian's.
opinion this was detrimental to the dis
cipline OF the Office and contrary to the
custom which requires off cial communi-
cations to subordinates to go first to the
head of the department. The postmaster
general has replied to Adrian that he sees
no improperly whatever in the civil service
commissioners communicating directly
with the local board of examiners relative
to their duties under the law.
Notwithstanding they are employees in his
Office. The postmaster general says:
They are subordinates of yours in an Off
cial,sense,but in respect to duties devolved
on them by the civil service law and rules,
as members of a local board of examiners,
they are, and should be, independent of
any authority save that created and con-
ferred by the law. The very object and
spirit of the law require that they should
be entirely free from interference or
supervision on the part of the head of the
Office in matters relating to their
civil service duties. In this view
of the case 1 think it entirely proper that
the civil service commission should COM
municate directly with them in matters
relating to their duties as members of the
board. Of course it is to be presumed
the commission will do nothing in this
behalf that will interfere with the disci-
pine Of your Office as that would plainly
be opposed to the spirit of the civil SER
vice law.

Prayer.
from the Gentleman's Magazine1
Every few minutes you meet a group
of native ladies, closely yelled, with the
white muslin or black silk yashmak,
and group of attendants. They ride
astride- their donkeys decked with tas-
sells and all manner of gay trappings,
and as they pass every man with a
proper sense of decorum averts his
face, lest his eyes should rest on so
much yelled loneliness Even the work
ing drudges, who are often deliberately
tattooed, are equally strict in keeping
the face virtuously covered, though the
rest of their drapery may be caught up
or blown about in such style as scarcely
suit our notions of decency.
The same thing continually strikes
one among the Hindoo women, who
would be eternally disgraced by the
faintest approach to our ordinary even
ing toilet, but who have no manner of
objection to displaying wide "luoid
interval" between the arm and the
waist, and any amount of unstockinged
anklel

A Submarine Army Of TOrpedOes.

A remarkable means of defense Is
known as the "Graydon-Leach SYSTEM"
and provides for the maneuvering of
fleets or torpedoes under complete con-
troll, below the surface of the water, and
admitting of entire or partial withdraw
al at pleasure, to permit the passing of
friendly vessels, or enticing hostile YES
sells within the limits and then sur
rounding them with torpedoes that will
insure their destruction. The torpe-
does can be massed, moved in various
directions, and, in fact, maneuvered
similarly to bodies of troops, and, being
entirely submerged, give no signs of ap'
proach to the enemy. The system is
comparatively inexpensive, ,and the plan
simple. No hostile fleet could enter a
harbor defended by it, and therefore its
novelty, simplicity and practibility
render it very valuable Though we
have at present no adequate means Of
defense for our coast and seaport cities,
yet by2this system of torpedo defense a
hostile fleet could bekept beyond shell
ing distance of New York, Brooklyn

cities, and even the mouth of Chesa-

There is a story of candidate for q

who was so given to drawing the long

country lad, whose whole duty it was
to stand behind his masters chair and
corroborate his anecdotes. The boy
