The Meluli fc a mespnger fiom n hirlj, who is expected to come in the last days, a little before the second coming of Christ. lie is to reform Islamism, and beat down its enemies, lie is thus to-prepate- the way for Jesus Christ, who, .ac- taminating iuiluouces of falsi dis according to the Moslem belief, j ciples or of contumacious infidels. will then appearand unite Mos-1 lems and true Christians into one J Aast body for the utter destruction; of Antichrist. Anv good Moslem - i win say mat t tie .uciuu is to oe a man who is to bear the same name as Mahomet, and who will appeal either from the east or from the v"U. lie is to come from one of the two cities labnlka or labulsa. In answer to inquiries as to the lo cality of these favored cities your good Moslem will take down a ponderous tome from his library and will turn to the heading "la bulka, to read the descriptien: "labnlka, a great city in the west. It has 2,000 gales and 2,000 gate keepers." Then he will turn over a little further to read: "labulsa, a gteat city in the east. Jt has -2,000 gates and 2,000 gatekeep ers.' The oriental mind is not given to scientific curiosity, and is thoroughly satisfied to build upon the ponderous tomes of the library, faith in the existence of a suitable birthplace for so great a personage a the Mehdi. The Persian branch of Islam, regarded as heretical by the west ern Mohammedans, believes that the Mehdi has already come to earth and is somewhere secreted until the fulness of time shall ar rive. The Persians hold that in the latter part of Hie ninth century the twelfth of the Imams of the, line of Ali mysteriously disap peared."" This mam is the Mehdi, and is popularly called the Expect ed. In the village of Samara, in Mesopotamia, is a sacred shrine, carefully guarded by Persian doc tors of divinity. In the center is a magnificent dome lavishly gild ed upon the inside and ornament ed with a profusion of precious stones. The inclosed space is lighted only by a skylight in the ton of this dome. Directlv under the dome is a deep well in which the lost Imam is supposed to have established himself. To this place come thousands of Persian pil grims, who enter awe-stricken the golden hall of gold, and crawl on their knees to the edge of the well to see in the sparkle of the water below the dome the "glory1" of the Mehdi who waits below. To this place also comes an occasional Moslem of the western rite some Turk or Kourd in disguise who enters the sacred place solely to gratify his hatred of heretics by surreptitiously spitting into their well as he pretends to gaze into its depths. 13oth of the great branches of Mohammedans unite in expecting the Mehdi very soon. The Mos lem year 1209 ends in November. With the vear 1300 great things are expected to occur. Every new century is set down in the Moslem history :is having brought some marked event with its early 'cars, and the consensus of opinion fixes upon 1300 as a peculiarly important figure. Among the many combinations which make up the portfolios of those who di vine events by means of numerals this one appeal s most fertile in portent. Thus the popular mind is ready to seize upon any token of the advent of the Expected One. Some look for the Mehdi as a Mon jeddid or renovator, who is to ef fect his reform by peaceful exhor tation. Others hold that he will be a Sahib i Khourouj,or one who abandons his allegiance to the ruling powers in order to initiate reform by the sword. The vast majority of Moslems look for this jmore violent method of refoim. But each individual legaids his 1 neighlim as moiv worthy than . himself to be a subject for the 'avenging swoid that is to purge' the lands of Jslam lrom all con Therefore each man is cairer for the long-expected appearance.- Chicago Tribune. , " . , The Destiny of a Million People Among one million human beings, then are at birth on an average 512,000 boys and -ISS.000 girls. Between the time of birth and the age of ., more than one fourth, or 2G2,000 children die, nearly 142,000 boys and 120.000 girls, leaving 00.000 boys and '08,000 girls, the gi eater mortality of the boys reducing them thus to nearly equal numbers. The next five years are. more favorable, and so is the period from 10 to 15, during which the mortality is the least, buL especially for beys: from 15 to 20 the mortality is greater again, and still greater from 20 to 25, so that at that time 10,000 will have died, leaving GOJ,000 to enter their 20th year. At the end of o) years 200,000 women will have married, while 02,000 per sons will have died, of whom nearly half will die from consump tion, leaving 572,000. The next ten years will reduce the number by 70,000 deaths, leaving 202,000 at the age of 45. Xow each suc ceeding ten years will be more fatal and the number shrink so rapidly that during the next o0 I years they will die at an increasing ratio of an average of 10,000 per year, so that at 15 years of age 341,000 will have died, and only 1G1,000 will be left; the death rate per vear still increasing from 75 to $5, is now about 12,000 per year, so that during the decade 122,000 will die, and 39,000 left to attain S5 years of age; now the death rate increases still more, but as there are less people left to die, the absolute number of deaths grow less than -1,000 por year, so that 3 ,000 will die in the next decade, and only 2,000 will reach the age of 95; of these 1,750 will die before the age of 100 years, so that 250 will reach the age of 100; of these 250 half will die the first year over 100, leaving 150 to at tain 101 years; again half of this number the next j'car, or 5 at 105, and so on, 37 at 103, IS at 104, 9 at 105, 4 at 100, 2 at 101, and 1 at 1 OS. This single surviv ing individual, among one million human beings dving around and before him, will then in his turn at last also bid earth farewell, to make room for other generations as his contemporaries have wisely and more promptly done before him. For many years he was only in the way, and perhaps life has even been a burden tohimself. The rule for determining the dis tances at which objects can be seen at sea, or on any level, is: Two-thirds the square of the dis tance in miles equals the height in feet. The reverse of this rule would give the distance in miles. A vessel whose masts were seventy-five feet high, therefore, could be seen a distance equal to the square root of one and one-half times the height (112A- feet), which would be about ten and one-half miles. During a murder trial in Santa Barbara, Cal., lasting eight days,llic jury purchased and drank four five-gallon kegs of beer, five gal Ions of wine, ten bottles of claret and considerable whisky. Their verdict of guilty was set aside bv the supreme court on this show- gj "What De Lesseps Thinks A Pans dispatch of the 2d, says: De Lessep who has just returned here, in an interview on ' Egyptian affairs, said the first fact that should be known regarding the Egyptian matter is that the1 mowment is a national one. He; is satisfied Arabi has the whole; nation at his back. His force is at present between 25,000 and 30,000 Arabs. lie has arms for 200,000,: and when he needs men can get them. De Lesscps had every rea son to be satisfied with the man ner in which Arabi behaved to wards the canal. The English had no need of the canal for their opera tion. The Arabs hadn't put a price on his head. On the eon tray, after the English had landed at Suez he knew it was not his fault and gave him notice that the Sweet water canal would be cut. Eng lish sailors had behaved very bad ly, firing right and left on the streets and killing many Arab women and children and one of De Lessens own employes. The English army was very well or ganized, but he thinks the war will be a long one. Its final result cannot now be forecast. No se rious operations could be under taken until the hoi weather and overflow of the Nile were end ed in October. It was not true Arabi had mutilated the English dead and wounded. lie had heard nothing of that from officers in Eg3pt. England had long been intending to get her finger into Egypt on one pretext or anotherand the whole trouble has been caused by the intrigues of the Malet, and for the purpose of giving England this opportu nity. He had not seen any of the actual fighting, but there had been many more killed ami wounded among the English than recorded. There were also many cases of sunstroke and some cholera too. When he had been in Egypt be fore the troubles began he had found some opposition to Arabi among the Bedouin chiefs, but now he believed they were all for Arabi. If Arabi was killed or captured thf war would not on that account come to an end. The English might buy some of the chiefs, but that would not help them much. The khedive was a man who would never be able to govern the country, even il the English succeeded in reestablish ing his authority. It would end if the English were successful in his being deposed by them, or in his being merely a nominal ruler. At present he was a prisoner and nothing he did had any weight with the Egyptian people. A Minister's Experiment. A St. Louis preacher, never hav ing tasted whisky, bought half a gallon of it to study its effects in order the better to describe them in the temperance sermon he was preparing. To avoid publicity and accidents he locked himself in his study and threw the key out of the window. In less than an hour he was sinp-ing and dancing instead of writing; about t o'clock in the afternoon he climbed out of the window and slid down the lightning rod, fell into a swill bar rel, kissed a woman on the street, got licked by two men at different limes, broke a window, stole a dog, sassed a policeman and got run in. The judge socked it to him most awfully thirty days but his church forgave him and took him back on his solemn promise that he would hereafter discuss the tem perance question from a purely thcoreti cal stan dpoi n t.
