-Taking a pencil he drew a rough
sketch of the interior of the
prisou.
"It looks like a well when you
stand in the center," continued he
when he had concluded his drawing.
The guard who stands in the
center there can see everything
that's going on down every one of
the galleries. Every one of those
double marks is for a gallery with
cells along each side and a man
with a loaded gun at oach end.
They keep twenty-four blood
hounds all the time in one of the
halls. Every one of tho halls ruus
into the center circlo. So a man
has no chance. You can't find out
how" tho place is fixed when you
get into It, because you've got
your head all tied up in the black
cap. I got more accustomed to it
after I had been there a year or
so, but it was terrible not to have
any one to talk to and to go on
from day to day in the same cell.
It breaks the best man down. The
brain goes first. It always affects
the brain. When a man is broken
down so that ho will die in a little
while if something is not done for
him, they take him to the hospital
and let him stay there until he
gets strong enough to stand it a
while longer. I worked at the
trade of bottoming chairs; some
'of them mako shoes and some ci
gars. They are glad to work at
anything when they are shut up by
themselves. There is no talking
allowed; no whistling; no unneces
sary noise of any kind. If the
rule is violated two guards come
to the cell; they drag you out;
you have to hold your hav? SBSF
vour head. Thev catch ,ou by
tho shoulders and throw you down.
Then they heat you with their
black Jacks. They are clubs with
ropes to them. There is no beat
ing allowed but they do it any
how. Then yjou are put in tho
cooler.' It is the deepest dungeon
in the place, with scarcely any
light in it. You get exactly three
ounces of bread a day and a quart
of water while you aro there, and
you stay twenty-ono days. 'Is that
tho onlv nunishment?' No, they
have a tight box they put you in.
It has water in it which strikes
you just under the arm-pits, and
tbero is more water running in all
the time. Tou have to pump with
your hands and feet as hard as you
can to keep the water from getting
over your head. I have seen men
who were left until they were bro
ken down and wore nearly drowned.
I was 'ducked' twice. That's
what tbey call it.
"I was buried for nino years,
and I nearly forgot how to talk.
Mv throat and tongue got so I
couldn't use them. "When all but
my last year was up thoy let me
out of my cell to carry water to
tho other prisoners. I had a wife
and child when I went in. One
day in 187G the keeper and another
man came to my cell. They read
me a notice that my wife had mar
ried again. Before they got through,
the keeper looked at me and
stopped. He pulled tho other
man away. 'Stop,' said he, 'he's
hurt enough.' Ho was right, but
I have lived through it. Every
day the keeper would come, open
tho trap in tho door of my cell,
put in my food, talk to me for a
minute or two and go away. It
was the same thing for ten years,
day after day. The grand jury
would come into the prison occa
sionally and before they camo
everything would be fixed up.
But they didn't see everything.
We could count time that way.
Once every month, too, we got a
bath. At last the day came for
me to get out. It was December
24th last, the day before Christ
mas. They took me to the door
and told me to go. I stepped out
and the fresh air struck me. 1
trembled like a leaf. A bootblack
was standing across the street. He
saw me coming and said 'Welcome
out.' I had hard work to keep
from crying. I wandered around
the city hunting work. I was re
solved to die sooner than go back."

The Making ot Dreams.
Says J. Mortimer Granville:
Dreams aro night-thoughts, un
checked by the judgment and un
controlled by the will. It is not
true that we do not reason in
dreams, that the exercise of the
judgment is wholly suspended,
and that the will is entirely power
less or ceases to act. These diffi
culties aro not altogether in abey
ance, but thoy doze while the
subordinate powers of the mind
those which play the part of
picture-carriers and record-finders
ransack the treasures of memory
and mingle together in the direst
confusion old things and new.
Imagination is not active, but it
remains just enough awake to
supply the connecting links which
give seeming continuity to those
parts of the phantasmagoria which
we chance to remember on recov
ering porfoct self-consciousness,
and which, being remembered, wo
call "dreams.'' No one remembers
more than one dream, unless he
has roused from sleep more than
once. Tins experience lias leu to
tlw inference that dreams only
occur at the moment orJn the act
of awakeaiiip There arc dreams
.which" tako placo in the process of
returning to consciousness for ex
ample, those instantaneous scenes
and spectacles which are suggested
by the sound or feeling that rouses
the dreamer; but, in result of a
long and close study of the subject
with a view to discover the nature
of dreams, and tho laws of dream
ing, for medical purposes, in con
nection with tho treatment of
sleeplessness, I am persuadod that
dreams occur in the course of
sleep, and aro wholly forgotten.
That they do not and can not tako
placo in deep sleep is probable,
because deep sleep is general
sleep; and when this state prevails
tho subordinate faculties are sleep
ing, and the pictures and records
which compose dreams aro not dis
turbed. To understand dreams
wo must understand sleep, and it
is because tho two phenomena
have not hitherto been studied to
gether that so little is generally
known about either. Popular

The Mohammsdan Leadership.
The
insurrection in Arabia
agaiust the rule ol the Sultan of
Turkey is a movement of import
ance, even if it should not prove
entirely sucoessiui. It began in
Yemen, the most fertile of the
Arabian provinces, and has already
made such head that the forces of
tho insurgents are moving north
ward to attack Mecca. No expla
nation has been made ns to the
whereabouts of the Turkish garri
sons m iemen whioh were not
long ago reported to have an ag
gregate of 20,000 men: The hold
of Turkcj' has never been stong
in Arabia. North of the Yemen
they occupy two seaports on the
Red Sea, one of them being Jcd
dali, tho principal landing-place
of Meccan pilgrims from the north
and west. They also have garri
sons in the interior, at Mecca, Me
dina and TeyefF, to the last of
which Eidhat Pasha was sont a
few months Sgo for complicity in
the murder of Abdul Aziz. Soon
after Midhat's banishment it was
reported that the Arabs intended
to set him at liberty and elevate!
him to the Caliphate, which was
improbable, since if they -nade a
change in tho headship of their
religion they would naturally de
sire to choose from the race of the
Prophet.
Theio is no religion which has
such a hold on its professors as the
Mohammedan. Although it ad
mits of some liberty of expression,
heresy is almost unknown to it.
One of its peculiarities is to unite,
if possible, all believers under one
leader, who shall be both civil and
religious ruler the true successor
of the Prophet, for that is tho
meaning of the term Caliph. Mo
hammed was the civil and religious
head of his followers, and so were
the four "who came after him, whose
united rule lasted for forty years.
When tho administration of tho
last of these ended, Mohammedan
ism had subdued all Northern
Africa, Syria, Persia and Turke
stan, and was thundering at the
gates of Constantinople. Its power
had grown too large to bo nil
ministered from the Arabian ties
crts, therefore the Caliph estab
lished himself at Damascus, which
continued the capital for ninety
years. The "Calipluto was then,
with a brief delay at Cufah, trans
ferred to JBagdad, whose riches
and splendor dazzled the world
for several hundred years, until it
was overturned by the Turkish
hordes from Central Asia in the
year 1258. During this time, and
for some hundreds of years later,
a separate Caliphate was main
tained by the Moors in Spain.
After the destruction of Bagdad,
another line of Caliphs was estab
lished at Cairo, and flourished
there until Egypt was taken in
1517, by the Sultan of Constanti
nople, who, at tho same time,
captured tho Caliphate. Since
that time, the Sultans of Turkey
have been Caliphs without tho
title, lords of Arabia, and protec
tors of tho pilgrims to the holy
shrines of Mecca and Medina. As
a compensation for tho appropria
tion of the religious leadership,
the Chcrif or Governor of Mecca
and Medina is selected from tho
tribe which had tho .honor of pro
ducing tho Prophet, the Sultan
giving his appioval.
The propriety of having the
spiritual head of their faith at tho
city made sacred by tho venerated
founder of their religion, has al
ways been obvious to Mohamme
dans. While the Sultan was the
bulwark between them and Chris
tendom this did not seem so im
portant, but when he was defeated,
stripped of his territory, and
spurned by European nations, thoy
lost their respect for him, and tho
bolder among them dared to think
of supplanting him by a true Arab.
That is the meaning of tho pres
ent movement. Beginning in the
month of the annual pilgrimago
to Mecca, the seeds of the" trouble
are likely to be borne into all the
countrios where Mohammed is ro
vored, and where reasons for dis
content already exist. Northern
Africa is ripo for any movement,
ajrainst the cursed Giaour. Turkey !
still has an army and navy, and
may have European assistance in
the coming struggle. The Arabs, J

"Wh- do you throw Snow-Billi

the Wolf, "and I could not tlirow
