at Qeonday every soul is asleep. The
cocoanut trees nod drowsily and the
great banana leaves dreop under the
heavy air. The flushed sun gilds the
smooth trunks of the palms, and the hum
of the insects is hushed, and, the cigar
maker, who sings at his work while the
morning mists lies upon the island, seeks
the shelter Of low browed roofs, smokes
his cigarette, sips his coffee and lies down
to siesta The people share their slum-
Der between the day and the night.
They work in the early morning and the
evening hours, give their nights to

season in Scotland was that of SIR Henry
Allsopp's party, in the combined forests
of Abernethy and Glenmore, which he
rented for the second year in succession
at the rate of $4,000 for the season.
These forests comprise 100 900 acres, and
in 1883 seventy three stags were killed,
the average "clean" weight being about
| fourteen and one-half stone, and the
heaviest stag weighing twenty stone.
Last season 105 stags were killed. the
heaviest being nineteen stone, and the
average weight the same as in 1888.
The heads were not so fine as usual, as it
was bad year fer heads all over the
Highland. Several royals were shot,
but only one had firstrate head. Mr..
Percy Allsopp particularly distinguishing
himself one day by killing five stags and
one roebuck out of seven shots, all by
fair stalking.

Mahdi?" The New York Herald says:
Mabadi, or Mahadl, as D'Herbelot spells
it, is an ancient title in the Moslen world,
which at first simply signi6ed director of
the faithful. But in the course Of Moslen
history, and especially Meslem history IN
Africa, it came to haYe another signifca.
ton related to an accepted prophecy OF
Mohammed. It necessarily refers to the
African part of Arabic history. By this
secondary significance of the world, the
Mahadi is a second ancient leader com.
again. His appearance is the ''seeoaG
advent of a prophet who lived IN the
old days, and who in all the meantime
has been with the inmortafs. Moham
med, the twelfth Imam, and the 18th il
decent from Ali, is the real original He
is the Mahadi who comes again everv now
and then. He was hidden from the
world at an early age and communed
only with his dlsci 9les through his life
time, and finally did not die but "wen:
up with the fixed intention of returning
to revive the giories Of Moslem.
