Quaint Arab superstitions

A singular phenomenon occurs
on the borders of the Red Sea, at a
place called Nakous, where inter-
mittenU underground sounds have
been heard for an unknown num-
Der of centuries. Ii is situated at
about half.a miles distance from
the shore, whence a long reach OF
sand ascends rapidly to height of
200 feet. This reach is about eighty
feet wide, and resembles an am
phitheatre, being walled in by low
rocks. The sounds coming up from
the ground at this place recur at
intervals of about an hour. They
at first resemble low MUIR
muir; but ere long there is heard
a loud knocking, somewhat like
the strokes of bell, and which, at
the end of about five minutes. be-
comes so strong as to agitate the
sand.
The explanation OF this curious
phenomenon given by the Arabs is
that there is a convent under the
ground here, and that these sounds
are those of the bell which the
monks ring for prayers. So they call
it Nakous. which means bell. The
Arabs affirm that the noise SO
frightens their camels when they
hear it as TO render them furious.
Philosophers attribute the sounds
to Suppress d volcanic action---
probably to the bubbling of gas or
vapors underground.

OF LOCAL INTEREST.
San Antonio to be in the Southern
League Next Year.

League Next ear
1t is learned from au authOrita-
tive source that there is a move
ment afoot to organize a new
Southern League for the season of
1895 says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. With this year the
lease of the present management
on Sportman's park expires, and it
is said that it cannot be renewed
unless the management is willing
to pay a large sum, larger perhaps,
than the gentlemen who are inter-
ested are willing to invest. The
circuit of the new club is to be
made up of Houston, San Antonio,
Dallas, Galveston, New Orleans
Mobile, Memphis and another
town that is to be select
ed in the future. Montgomery,
Shreveport, Little Rock, Birming'
ham and Pensacola are under con.
temptation. The gentlemen who
are interested in the movement are
experienced baseball men, and are
very popular in New Orleans. They
think a league OF the towns men.
toned would pay better than tn
present one, because all the Texas
towns permit Sunday ball. The
salary limit will be fixed at
$1,000. The total receipts at all
games, including grand stand earn
ings and other emoluments that
usually go to home clubs, will be
equally divided after a certain per.
centage has been deducted to meet
any financial contingency that
may arise. By this plan all the
clubs will be placed on an equal
footing and can afford to employ
the best of players.

Science Attacking Group.

The new cures for diphtheria and
Group are occupying more and more
OF the attention OF physicians both
in this country and in Europe. The
most recent reports Of DR.. Roux, of
the Pasteur Institute In Par,s, show
cures Of numerous cases Of diphtheria
by the use OF simultaneous injections
Of the antitoxine now used in de-
stroying the microbes Of the disease
that has meant certain death for
most children attacked by 1t. Group
also succumbs readily to this treat
ment; but all who have the care Of
little children are warned anew by
the latest students of the disease
that its earliest symptoms, even in
apparently healthy infants, are not
to be dlsregarded. AS yet, the potent
remedy for Group is not very accessi-
BILE, for 1t Is costly and slow of prep
aration. But modern research offers
no more interesting field than this
where the tremendous mortality Of
infants Is met by the new applica-
tion of the forces OF scientific medi-
cine, which prophesies now the saw
ing of the lives Of thousands OF little
ones whom physicians always have
looked upon as foredoomed to death.

side the initial is edged with an odd
strand of this sort, composed of mot
tied silk braid. The hat Is round and

with large bow of cerise velvet rib
bon from which rises an aigrette OF
vari-colored beads. In back the
trimming is completed by a large

THE creed of "the higher careless
ness" should be preached to the
housewives of America. Foreigners
tell us that Americans do not know
how to take things easy; that we do
not know how to rest; that we are
entirely ignorant Of the delights of
leisure. This is truthful accusa-
tion. We have worked so hard in
developing new country, and OF
starting it upon It's express train
schedule down its rattllng track to
destiny, that we have forgotten how
to rest. We have fallen into the
vicious and deadly habit of overwork.
And the habit has fastened its in
sidious fangs upon us to such a de-
gree that we work night and day, and
have forgotten the art OF relaxation,
and know nothing of the good old de-
lightful happiness of occasional idle
ness This habit is fastened upon
American housewives to a more
vicious extent than upon any one
else. They have fallen so hopelessly
into the habit Of work, that they
prefer to perform unnecessary labor
rather than to sit down and rest.
Now industry is good thing, in the
abstract, and is justly reckoned
among the d-fashioned virtues; and
the man who breaches industry
breaches a righteous creed, looking
at the matter from a purely abstract
standpoint. But, concretely, the
man who breaches industry to the
American housewife does a very
wicked thing, and should be tried for
heresy. He is like the chief of the
fire department who should order the
hose to play kerosene instead of
water, upon burning building. Let
him go and preach economy to the
inmates Of the poor-house, and talk
of the advantages of regular hours to
the occupants of the Jail; but never
let him preach industry to the
average American housewife. In
dustry is already her greatest vice,
and the man who would influence her
to develop and increase this vice,
rests under an awful responsibility.
