What is a Mahdi ?
New York Herald.l

Mahdi. or Mahadi, as D Herbelot spells it, is an ancient title in the Moslem world which at first siPnifed simply director of the faithful. But in the course of Moslem history, and especially Mos lem history in Africa, it came to have another signi6cation related to an ac- cepted prophecy of Mohammed. It nec- cessarily refers to the African part of Arabic history. By this secondary signi- icance of the word the Mahadi is a cer. tain ancient leader come again. His ap- pearance is the second advent" of a prophet who lived in the old days, and who, ID all the meantime, has been with the immortals. Mohammed, the twelfth Imam, and the twelfth in descent from Ali, is the real original. He is the Mahadi who comes again every now and then. He was hidden from the world at an early age and communed only with his disciples through his lifetime, and finally did not die, but "went up," with the fixed intention of returning to revive the glories of Moslem. As in the chris tian theory and even in the history of several monarchies this legend of prince who is to return has afforded favorite pretext for no end of impostors. so it did in lilam. The most famous of these in past ages was Abulcassem Mo- hammed Ben Abdailah, the founder of the Eatimite dynasty in Africa. Mo- hammed had prophesied tha, in 300 years the sun would rise in the west, and as Aoulcassem's glory was in 2o6 of the Hegira, it was held that the prophecy re. ferred to him, and since then the idea of the Mahadi has commonly had relation to revival of the glories of Islam in that western world of Moslemism, the prov inces of Africa held by the Arabs.

A New Use for Safe Deposi, Vaults.

One of our well known New York seed hrms has now on deposit in the Mercan- tile Safe Deposit Company's vaults four hundred pounds of Hendersons Snow. ball Caulinower Seed, which at the sell ing price of one hundred dollars per pound shows the value of this seed to be forty thousand dollars. Not only is this plan of depo sitting in vaults found to be cheaper than insurance, but what is of more importance is that if the seed should be destroyed by fire this quantity neces- sary for their trade could not be replaced al any price in time for the spring sales. When it is considered that four hundred pounds of Caulihower seed will under favorable conditions produce nearly thirteen million plants, which when headed for market and sold at even eight oeats per head will produce the sum of three quarter of million dollars, the value this vegetable has attained in this country, where twenty-five years ago 1t was almost unknown, becomes readily apparent.

Hawthorne and the Fly.

A fly is the most impertinent and in- delicate thing in creation n-the very type and moral of human spirits whom one occasionally meets with, and who, per haps, after an existence, troublesome and vexatious to all with whom they come in contact, have been doomed to reappear in this congenial shape. Here $ one intent upon alighting on my nose In a room now-in human habitafion- l could hnd in my conscience to put him to death but heie we have in.ruded upon his own domain, which he holds in common with all the childien of earth aad air. and we have no right to slay him on his own ground.
