that the young ladies in this section

There are now three steam saw
mills within few miles of this place

 ''I am so glad to hear that I am mis- taken" replied the female philanthro- pist.
 "No," continued the woman, sadly, putting the bandage over the eye, ''he has never struck me blow yet. He has kicked me in a dozen different places forty different times; he has taken me by my two ears and bumped my head on the floor, or on the corner of the man. tel-piece; he has poured hot water down my back, pulled out my hair by the handful, and he has stuck pins in me a time or so; he feeds his dog in my new Sunday bonnet, but he has never yet beat me, and until he does don't think I ought to complain.

How a Superb Creature Drove Away Two
 Enchanted Admirers.
 She was a sweet-faced, blue-eyed young girl with great waves of golden hair brushed carelessly back from a noble-looking, snow-white brow. Her ruby lips were full and sweet. lnno- cence itself was in her great blue eyes. Fair and sweet was she in all the purity and guilelessness of her fresh young womanhood.
 Two young men have long been watching her with eager interest. Her glorious beauty had enthralled them. .'What a superb girl!'' said one. s.Never was lily fairer! How would love to hear her speak. No sweet bells tangled could be like words she must utter with lips like those and face like that"
 She spoke. A friend came down the aisle, and said carelessly:
 "A cold day, Miss D."
 The full red lips parted slowly, the beautiful head turned with superb grace, smile of seraphic sweetness illumin ated the noble features, soft and sweet and low was her artless answer:

THE SENOUSSITES.

A Mohammedan Sect with an UncomprO-
 missing Hatred of Christianity.
 The Senoussite sect, founded in North Africa about the middle of the present century by an Arab of the Beni Senous tribe, from neighborhood of Tlemsen, in Algeria, is organized on the system oi secret societies of Europe, with uncom- promising hostility to Christian civillza- ton as its handspring of action. From it's cradle in the Tripolitan Sahara it has extended its ramifcations through all North Africa, from the Somali coast to the mouth of the Senegal. M. Henri Duveyrier. the eminent explorer of the Sahara, estimates the number of the khouan, or brothers, at not less than a million and half, while that figure may probably be doubled. Each of these adepts," he says, ''is not only ipso facto missionary, but is ready at the signal of his superior to transform him. self iuto propagandist agent, soldier, a bravo or even cowardly prisoner. To the agency of the sect he ascribes many recent risings in Algeria, and numerous masSacres of European travellers, such as that of Mile. Times party in the Soudan in 1869 and of the Flatters Mission in the AL gerian Sahara in 1881. The Sultans of Morocco and Wadai are believed to be more or less subservient to its decrees, while its influence is felt as a disturbing element in many cities of Egypt, notably in Tantah and throughout the land of Yemen on the further shore of the Red Sea- Musselmans, tainted with Western ideas, are held by it in like abhorrence with the odious Nazarene, and its watchword is that Turks and Christians, being on level, must be annihilated by the same blow. The founder of the society, dying in 1859, transmitted his authority to his son. Sidi Mohammed-ben- n-Ali-es-Senoussi, the present Sheik, regarded throughout North Africa with reverence almost eclipsing that felt for Mohammed him. self. Like his Soudanese rival, he claims the title of Mahdi; hence coalition of the two, despite the identity of their aims, was always, on personal grounds, improbable. There was, indeed, a cer- tain effervescence of enthusiasm for Mo- hammed Ahmed among Senoussi's fol lowers immediately on the fall of Khar- toum, but it rapidly subsided with the subsequent wane in the fortunes of the Warrior Prophet of the Soudan.

THE PERIOPHTHALMUS.
Queer Ways and Habits of a Very Curi-
 ous and Amphibious Fish.

Queer Ways and Habits of a Very Curi-
 ous and Amphibious Fish.
 There is very curious amphibious fish on the tropical Pacific shores. It has no English name, so one is forced to adopt the alarming scientific nomencla- ture and call it periophthalmus. This is classical for stare about. Perioph. actually walks straight out of water at ebb tide and promenades the bare beach, erect on two legs, ''in search of crabs and stray animals" naturalists say. He hops about like frog and stares back at you over his shoulders with his squ;nt- ing optics. Nothing can be more Judi crous than to see him thrust his mOva- ble orbs right out of their sockets like a pair of telescopes. No matter which way he wishes to look he can do it without turning his head, for his goggle-eyes are capable of an indefinite amount of protrusion. If you try to catch hlm he will give you an amusing exhibition of quickness. Just as your hand is about to touch him, away he leaps, then stops and twists those ex- l6USlDlG uOuUlG UdCh-dCbIOu tCIooCOpOo right over his shoulder with such ludicrous effect that the most solemn person in the world would have to sit down and laugh. After moment of this he pulls in one eye, leaving the other on guard duty. With the other he sweeps the field in front of him, alter natel ly extending it and pulling it in so as to survey the entire field, foreground as well as background If he espies a delicate morsel of food he gives you a parting look with both eyes, then says good-by and is off. He is the most com- ical fellow in the world.
 This power of seeing both in and out of water receives a peculiar develop ment in one of the carp family. Instead of using a telescope arrangement, he had divided his eye into two portions one for use in the air, and the other for water only. It is divided horizontally by dark strip, and the first always lies on the surface, looking at the same time both into the air and in the water. Grant Allen says: Its name is Anbleps, but in all probability it does not wish the fact generally known. "-&. Louis Globe Democrat.

road cars. It is light and waterproof, and can be washed and cleansed as readily as wood or marble. The vood pulp is applied while in a plastic state. and the ign which is to be stamped on the paper is engraved on die, which is pressed down upon the bed of pulp as it is spread upon the linen covering. The nodded material hardens quickly, but does not become brittle; in fact, 1t is so pl;able that thls new wall-c0vering is rolled up the same as wallpaper, though, of course, not so compactly.
 For the interior decoration of houses, especially halls, drawing-rooms and dining-rooms, this new material is gain ing in popularity very rapidly. It IS a poor conductor of heat, and thus the moisture in the room does not gather upon it. It has a smoother, warmer look than wood or marble carving, and has no glare to break up and reflect the light like tiling, nor does it become warped by heat The fact that this ma terial is made in continuous rolls ren- ders it especially adaptable for dado work or friezes A dado formed of this material can be carried all around room, into any angle, corner or bay window, without break. It harmon izes with wallpaper much better than carved wood or stone, and does not chip or break when struck by any piece of furniture.
 The variety of designs in which the new wall covering is made is as great almost as with ordinary wallpaper, but the cO1Orin pS uSed are bV no means as varied After it has been hung upon the walls, however, it can be painted or gilded so as to resemble furnished metal, or can be colored and grained to initiate any kind of wood, leather, bronze, tapestry, ceramic or other style of decoration. Among the many styles in which this material isproduced, the one which is the most popular at this time is the Japanese, but Egyptian, Greek, Byzantine, Moresque, Medieval, Renaissance and many other. patterns are produced. r.
