SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
Owing to the threatening weather
the first day, and causes unknown the
second day, the attendance was light,
and many who were on the program
for the discussion of different subjects
were absent. But the subjects thus
left without speakers We're taken up
and discussed with much interest.
So those not present were losers. And
it was very noticeable that not a sim
gle delegate was present from lola or
Humboldt. Why Is this? There
must be lack of interest in the Sun
day school work.

The False Prophet.

A correspondent of the Kolnische lei
tung gives the following account of the
false prophet: "Mohammed Achmet-
this is his real name-is well equipped
for the business of a prophet. He was
born in the province of Dongola, as the
son of a carpenter. His father, Abdul
lahi. had four sons and daughter.
Mohammed Achmet was apprenticedto
sailor, but becoming tired of the severe
beating his master gave him, he ran
away to Hoghali, village near Khar-
toum, where he entered a naedTeSe for the
purpose of becoming a dervisb. In the
pious convent which encloses the tomb
of the holy sheik Hoghall he was initi-
ated into the A B G of the dervish trade.
He continued his studies in another
school, was made sheik 10 1870 by the
Fakir Nur el-Daim, and fnally settled
on the island of Abba in the White Nile.
There he lived in cave, and like true
dervish, called out every four hours one
of the names of the Almighty, tasted,
prayed, burned incense, etc. Soon a
congregation grew up around him; his
possessions increased as we'll as the num-
Der of his disciples. He understood
thoroughly the management of his ha-
rem, for he selected as his wives only
the daughters of the wealthiest sheiks,
and, in order to obey the iniunctions of
the koran not to have more than four
wives, he always dismissed his older
consorts before taking young ones.
His real career as a prophet, how
ever, began only two years ago. Then
he announced himself to his colleagues
as the mahdi, whose advent had been
predicted by Mohammed himself, and
explained his programme, which was
communism pure and simple-equality
before the law, as well as equality IN re-
igion and earthly goods. Whoever did
not believe In him deserved death; he
might be Mohammedan, Christian or
Pagan. For this reason he instantly
condemned to death the Sheik Moham-
med Saleh, whom, with all his dervishes,
he had summoned to his cave in the ISL
and of Abba, but who not only did not
appear, but even informed the Egyptian
governor Reuf Pasha of the schemes of
Mohammed Achmet. The treachery of
the sheik finally set the Egyptian army
in motion against the false prophet. Its
humiliation was the browning act in his
career. Ell Mahdi is described as tall,
thin man, with a black beard and light
brown complexion. His knowledge OF
reading and writing is very limited, but
he is naturally extremely shrewd. AL
together his career displays much of the
mixture of fanaticism and calcula.
ton which characterized the great
prophet"

A Fool That Came to Grief.

The fool who thinks it is funny to play
a practical joke has come to grief by so
doing IN Albany. He was in dry
goods store, and saw gentleman whom
he recognized as an acquaintance. He
stepped up quietly behind his friend,
who was standing by the counter, and
took small package from his outside
pocket. The joke ought to have come
in here, but it didn't. The clerk saw
the affair, and thinking he had detected
thief plying his vocation, at ence took
the supposed culprit by the collar. The
joker explained his joke, and called on
his friend to help him out of the scrape.
But to his CONSERVATION, the gentleman
proved to be an utter stranger to him.
Every one decided that the poor joker
looked like hardened thief, and a
policeman was at once sent for. After
much difficulty, however, the joker con-
WINGED the minion of the law that he was
respectable man, and he was released.

A New Scheme.

Credit for the most elaborate scheme
ever devised by merchant to attract
customers must probably be awarded to
dry goods firm in Melbourne, Aus
tralia. Whether or not it will produce
the desired result remains to be seen.
Behind the shop is large garden, or
namented with aviaries and aquaria, in
which open concerts, vocal and in
strumental, will be given daily. The
basement of the large building has been
fitted up with all the conveniences of q
club for gentlemen, including library
and reading-room, and restaurant. A
cosy apartment with similar accessories
has been provided for ladies'.

this is the, most aesthetic mode of
getting even with the world. The most
aggravated ease of the kind, and one
that came directly under the patient at
tention of the writer, is that of young
lady who possesses really musical
voice. She belongs to the two-line re-
pertoire band of vocalists. But of her
favorite song she seems to know only
one line, and that is, g In the cleaning,
oh, my darling" There is tender pa
thos, delicate and finished expression
to her rendition of this line. She be-
gins it with the robust vigor that such
an artist as Nine. Nilsson might exhibit,
and ends with warm pervading tender
ness, as she lisps the last word, that
was proud characteristic of the Swed-
ish nightingale's melodious voice. On
hear ng her for the first time one takes
it for granted that he is about to be
treated to a grand voluntary, and, ap-
preciating the magnanimlty OF the artist,
prepares to listen. But his dlsappoint-
ment is incurable when he hears her
pronounce the last words, sob, my
darling p with delightful rapture and
lingering sweetness. That settles it.
He will hear no more, at least until she
commences at the beginning again and
gives repetition of the first. The force
of habit has grown on the young lady SO
that she will burst out on any occasion,
and, when those around her are least
expecting it, with SIN the cleaning"
etc. But the most serious break of this
charming monomaniac occurred at the
last prayer meeting of the church organ
ization to which she belongs. This
being popular church, all of its meet
ings are well attended. At the meeting
referred to the good people had nearly
completed their devotions, and the first
line of beautiful old hymn was given
out. Tue congregation arose reyerent-
ly, and while they were adjusting their
mouths for a good start there tloated
out in clear accents. SIN the gloam-
ing, oh, my darling p' The minister
looked like materialized spirit, the
congregation was paralyzed, and the
young lady, seeing grim disaster leering
at her from every quarter, tainted. She
is now out of danger, but cannot be seen
even by her most intimate friends.
