which is now the seat of the rebellion going
on in that torn and bleeding country. He is
said to be of pure Arabian blood, tall and
slender in person, with black, piercing eyes,
and about forty years of age, six of which he
has spent in seclusive meditation in a dry els
tern, such as abound in those countries, ex-
cept on Fridays when he would attend for
worship at the mosque. He claims to have
been visited by the Archangel Gabriel more
than once and to have been commanded by
him to unsheath the sword for the reforma-
ton of the bad Moslem and the establishment
of universal Musselman empire. His repu-
tation for sanctity, together with his natural
power over men, makes his influence omnipo-
tent among his countrymen, so that, in the
battles his followers have had with the Egypt
ians, the latter though commanded by British
officers have been cut to pieces, almost to an
initiation. All Egypt, and in fact the entire
Turkish empire, is in terror and tremble for
results. He claims that his mission includes
the establishment of universal equality, a
universal law, universal religion and COM
munity of goods, and to destroy all, whether
Mohammedan or Christian, who refuse to be-
leve him and to accept him as true prophet.
The place he claims in relation to Mohammed-
anism is similar to that of Christ in his rela-
ton to Judaism. That is, as in Christianity
Christ superseded the Mosaic dispensation SO
this man claims to be sent by God to renew
the old Mohammedan religion" Popularity
he is called the Mahidi. Except among his
followers he is called the false prophet. His
name is Mohamet Achmet.
The world has not yet heard the last of this
enthusiast The sooner the British lion goes
down into Egypt and stretches himself across
his path the..better it will be for that part of
the world.

We have had an ugly question put to us a
number of times since we launched our Mon
1roR We now refer said question to our
readers and hope they will take an interest in
it. We are unable to find an answer satisfac-
tory to ourselves and want the help of the cit
liens.
The question has been put to us by mar
ried people and by unmarried people, by
middle-aged people and by both old and
young people, by men and women. Indeed,
SO numerous have been the directions from
which the question has come, and SO varied
have been the classes who have put it to us,
that we have good reason to believe the ques-
ton to be one now generally in the minds OF
our citizens.
We now state the question in the MONITOR
and invite fair-tempered discussion of it.
The question is, Who are benefited by the
pool rooms now open in Woodstown?

M Dear Miss Macaztt0ner Il cannot tell
you how my heart swelled up with gratitude
to my Heavenly Father when your little paper
was handed me Saturday evening. May the
Lord bless you in this your new work =; how
the temperance unions of the state have
prayed for Salem county, that the women
might be aroused to feel there was work for
them to do in this grand and glorious cause.
And now the dear women of Woodstown have
stepped out nobly and undertaken the pub
fishing of paper. I trust every christian
and temperance person in your town and
county may subscribe for it and it may be the
means of doing much good.

ALCOHOL FOR NURSING MOTHERS.

A. W. Eds, Md, writing of "Alcohol for
Nursing Mothers" says: 81 have often
thought that if mothers were only fully aware
of the enormous amount of misery and suf-
fering produced by the imprudent use of
alcohol, whether taken in the form of beer,
wine, or spirits, during the time they are
nursing their offspring, they would have con-
siderable scruples as to the indulgence of
such habit. Many child born of healthy
parents, with, every prospect of attaining
adolescence, has had its little life cut short,
its constitution deteriorated or the seeds of
much future suffering and premature decay
sown in its system by the pernicious custom
of its mother resorting to the use of stimu-
lants with view to increase, or to keep up,
the supply of that upon which alone the child
is nourished. Women, who were little given
to alcohol at other times, become for the
nonce determined tipplers; this being, per-
haps, of all other times, that when alcohol is
calculated to do most harm and least good
Apart from all consideration of the risk Of
encouraging the habit of chronic tipping in
the mother, the influence upon the child is
most injurious. "-HeraI Of Health.

The true sailor is a modest, burly being,
who has no great stock of phrases, and who
never brags, is dauntless to the last degree
he is quite free from self-consciousness, and
he never lets anything discompose him greatly.
One of these men was washed overheard dur
ing ten days gale in the Bay of Biscay by a
heavy sea. The next sea lifted him clear over
the rail again. and he landed on the deck. 1t
never struck him to go forward and change
his clothes-he was wet through before, SO he
went on with his work, and said nothing what
ever about the occurrence. Such homely men,
with their unconscious courage and their rough
serenity, are doing brave things all the year
round

WooDsrowN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1884.

There is no danger of expanding too much
love in this world. In the structure of the
universe we see, permeating ALL the plenitude
of divine love, yet man-money getting mon
ey-saving mans more lavish of gold than OF
this which, of no marketable value, is inin-
itely more precious-the wealth OF his heart,
that which is coined in his heart and replen-
ishes itself by outlay. In no way is the para
BILE of the talents better exemplifed than in
this. And who has better expressed the idea
than Longfellow
Talk not of wasting affection, affection never
If it enrich not the heart OF another its waters
returning
Back to the springs, like the rain, shall fill them
full of refreshment;
That which the fountain SENDS forth returns
again to the fountain.
A starved soul is worse than starved body.
Yet we feed, we pamper, the body, and the
hungry heart is crying for the food which the
sunshine of love would give. Parents, do not
grudge your little ones loving kiss, loving
smile. an affectionate caress. Let them carry
into life recollections of an affectionate father
and fond mother.
There is no danger in showing your child
rem that you love them. Showing that you
love them is as necessary as loving them. We
know that the sun is shining even though the
rain be falling and clouds lowering but, oh!
we long to see the blessed sunlight streaming.
Praise is the emanation of a loving heart,
and a GOOD act merits praise lust as bad act
merits censure. True, child should learn to
do right for the sake of the right, regardless
of blame or reward, but word of commenda-
ton is SO easily bestowed and helps the giver
as well as the receiver. Let us not call it
praise; let us call it love or an expression of
approval by word look or act Benjamin
West said his mothers kiss-her loving ap-
proval of a little childish sketch-made him a
painter.
True, many fond mothers heart has been
broken and many tender fathers head has
been bowed in sorrow for an erring son or
daughter. But it is the exception not the
rule How often do we hear cited by the de-
tenders of moderate drinking that the minis
ter's son, the reformer's son, or the son of de-
voted parents has gone astray. 1t is the ex-
ception always that is held up to view and
made to appear the rule. Observation, COM
mon sense and feeling must show that the old
maxim is sure and safe 'tBring up child
in the way he should go and when he is old
he will no, depart from it."

the city authorities of Mntamoras
claimed eight days as sufficient quaran-
