At the heart of the town is the now shrine of toudaneso Mohamunedism, the burial place where the late Mandi was interred within a year after his great triumph over Chineee Gordon at I:har- toum by bis successor i{halifa Abdullah, who is himself still sometimes: 1stnkeniy called the Mahal, but whose real title is 3iuntazer el Mandi, or sueee_ssor of the Mabdi. The I{halifa was ono of the four generals of the late Mandi and was by the latter proclaimed before bis death as bis successor. He disposed of all his rivals and the relatives of the late Muhdi by the usual Oriental method of slaugh- ter or imprisonment. No one knows what the population of the Soudan may now bo, but it is not doubted tbat it bus decreased 50, 00, possibly even 75 per cent.. within two decades; but though less in absolute size,.

There are eurleils myths regarding our common, little, every -day, green pea. I3y some peasants of Europe the plant is. in some way related to celestial fire. Peas aro held sacred to Thor, and in Berlin are a standing dish on Thor's day. It is also recommended that the children with the measles should be washed in water in whicb peas bave Inert boiled. The use of peas concerning love matters is accounted for by the fact that they are sacred to the patron of marriage. In Bohemia girls go into fields of peas and make a garland of diferent- colorodflowers; this they lie on and in the night hear a voice from underground which tolls them what kind of a husband they will have. In England, when the housemaid shells peas, if she chances to find a pod containing nine peas. she hangs it over the kitoben door, and the firstrustio who comes in will be her husband, or at least her sweetheart. A Cumbrian girl, when her lover proves unfaithful, is, by way of consolation, rubbed with pea straw by the neighboring labs, and when a Cumbrian youth loses his sweetheart, the same comfort is administered to him by the lasses of the village, Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator has no equal for destroying worms in oliildr.en and adults..
