Prophet ot I6oo Saw Kaiser's Doom.

Part of an extraordinary Latin prophecy made by Brother Johannes in the year 1600 is quoted ill a recent t issue of the Figaro"
 In deciphering the allegory, it must be remembered that France is repre- sented by a Cock, England by Leop- ard. Russia by White Eagle, Germany by Black Eagle and Austria by the "other Eagle" while the Lamb stands for Justice, Mercy and Truth. Howard the year 2000 the Anti christ will manifest himself. His army will surpass ill numbers all that can be imagined, says the prophet.
 ''There will be Christians among is legions, and there will be Mahometans and savage soldiers among the de- lenders of the Lamb.
 "For the first time the Lamb will be all red. There will not be single spot in tlIe Christian world that will not be red, and red will be the heavens, the earth, the waters and even the air for blood will flow in the domains of the four elements at once.
 "The Black Eagle will throw him. self on the Cock, who will lose many feathers, but will strike back heroically with his spurs. He soon would be crushed were it not for the help of tue Leopard and his claws.
 "The Black Eagle will come from the country of Luther, will surprise the Cock from another side, and will invade the country of the Cock up to the middle of it.
 "The White Eagle, coming from the North, will surprise the Black Eagle and the other Eagle, and will invade the country of the Antichrist from one end to another.
 "The Black Eagle will see himself | forced to liberate the Cock in order to fight the White Eagle, and the Cock will pursue the Black Eagle into the country of the Antichrist to help the White Eagle.
 "The battles fought up to then will be as nothing compared to those which will take place in the country of Luther, for the seven Angels will to- gether pour in the fire Of their censors on the impious Earth, which signifies that the Lamb will order the exter- imitation of the race of Antichrist
 "When the Beast sees that he is lost, the will become furious, and for many months the beak of the White Eagle, the claws of the Leopard, and the spurs of the Cock will turiously strike at him.
 "They will cross rivers over the bodies of the slain, and these, in places, will change the course of the waters. They will bury only the men of noble families, the leading com- mandants, and the princes, because to the carnage made by the armies will be joined the wholesale death of those who will die of hunger or the pest.
 "The Antichrist will ask many times for peace, but the seven Angels who walk in front of the three Animals defending the Lamb have declared that victory will only be granted on the condition that the Antichrist be crushed like straw on the barn floor.
 "The executors of the justice of the Lamb cannot stop fighting as long as the Antichrist possesses soldiers to fight against them.
 "What makes the decree of the Lamb so implacable is that the Anti christ has pretended to be follower of Christ, and to act in His Name, and if he does not perish, the fruit of the Redeemer would be lost, and the doors of Hades would prevail against the Saviour
 "The fight which will take place where the Antichrist forges his arms will not be ill any way a human fight
 (This may have reference to Essen, where the Krupp works are and many authorities believe that the decisive battle may take place in Westphalia.)
 "The three Animals defending the Lamb, will exterminate the last army of the Antichrist, but they will be forced to erect on the battlefield a pyre as large as city, for the bodies of the dead will change the aspect of the countryside, as there will be mounds of the slain.
 ''The Antichrist will lose his crown, and will die in solitude and madness. His empire will be divided into twenty two states, but none of them will any longer possess fortresses, armies or vassals. >
 Cautiously enough, this number coincides with the number of German states.)
 "The White Eagle, by the order of St. Michael, will drive the Crescent from Europe, and will install himself at Constantinople. Then will begin all era of peace and prosperity for the earth, and there will be no more wars, each nation being governed according to it's desires and living according to te rules of justice.
 "There will no longer be Lutherans or Schismatics. The Lamb will reign and the supreme happiness of humanity will begin. Happy will be those who, escaping the perils of that period, will be able to enjoy the fruit of the reign of the Spirit and of the purging of Humanity, which can only come after the defeat of the Antichrist.''
