At the present moment the Order numbers about 10,000 members, scattered throughuut Islan, bat tiey all own allegiance to the Sheilsh at Damascus, who claims to be a lneal fant of the great founder, and to whom have been transmitted the supernatural powers with which bis anceatur wos endowed. Such powers, huwever, are by no incans confined to Shelkh Ruslan and ble discipies, but exist to a greater or Jess extent fn three other Ordors, yiz.: the Kilant, the Rifal, and the Sukkt. But my friend, the Bedawi Sheikh, niaintained that he bad certaln wifts which none of them possessed, while they had uone which be could not exercise, Atany rate, I was anxious to see lis powers put to the test, and, accompanied by seme friends stimniated Dy tlie fame curlosity, we made an expedition to the Meidan uue after- noob, and found the little courtyard half-full of people, and the neighboring housetops thickly occupied by female spectators. Amoug those aasembied in the court were two or three wild- Jooking inen, stripped to the walst, white others, clothed, but apparently pot altogether fo their rleht mind, wore about to take part in the per- formauce. The Sheikn’s eldest son, a particu: larly handsome doy, with the large, lustrous eves of the gazelle, was a conspleuous figure in the group, while the Shelkb himeelf wag «man whose countensnce and bearing marped him at once as not being of the common herd. His face was somewhat of o Jewlsh type; the short Rrav beard nnd mustache partially concealed a toouth decidedly pleasing in its expression: the eyes were bright und plerelng, aud the nose was aquiline, ‘Taking a handful of skewers similar to thore used for cooking purposes, cach about a foot Jong, be called the wildest, half-stripped dfscl- ple to him, and, opening his mouth, muttering the while with great apparent iusgenrity of con- centration a prayer or invocation, hic, with a sudden jerk, forced the puint clean through the check, so that tt could be seen projecting on the other side. He repeated the process with the other cheek, the man showing no sign of pain, and not a drop of blood flowing from the wound. He then went to lus son, who calmly gazed at him with his large swiniming eyes, opened hls mouth, and recelyed a similar atab through the cheek without the quiver afaneyelid. | was watching him clonely, and could not observe the sligheat muscular contraction, The point was clearly projecting through the akin, and ‘deeep- tion was impossible, as there was overy oppor- tunity afforded for the closest {uspection. Leuv- Ing the two victims with their mouths thus trussed, agit were, the Sheikh took a sauare box, whlek, when It was opened, was found tocontatn avyeral Jive scorpluns of unusual size, Taking up ouo of these, as larze as an ordinary land crab, he handed ft, all wriggllng, darting its tail {n efforts to ating, to 4 mao who came forward, nnd calinly bat rapld- ly dropped {t into his mouth and crunched it with great apparent relish, cating {t complotely up. ‘Then we saw a much larger box, cuntatn- ing serpents of various izes. ‘I'heae he turned outupon the floor, dominating then after the manner of serpest charmers, and allowins them to twine and curl round him, In this, of course, there was uothing marvelous, norludecd in what. immediately followed, though it was sickenlie to behold. Drawing a lye enake about ty feet tong out of the box, he held tt up by the tail, when suddenulya tal] mut afllictud appar. ently with St, Vitus’ dance, with. hair disuev- eled, rushed forward with a Joud ery, and with foaming lipa seflzed the snake with oth hance, tore Jt violently asuoder, aml plunzed Its bloody and palpitating end into his mouth. This acetned the eignal fora general scramble. Ina moment threo or four men were tearing the writhiug fragmenta with their tecth, and with eager grcediness dovoured them {n large mouth- fuls uati! pot a particle of the auake remained. ‘They then drow back with scomtug reluctance, wiping their bloody lips wit thelr hand ‘Bue the excitemcvot scemed to buve produced a sort of fit fu the man who had first seized tho snake, from which the Bhelkh restored ibn by clasping big bead with Loth hands und presalyz it violontly, white he azuin concentrated himsetl ou fncuntations, the veins starting out of bls foroneatt with the intensity of bis eiforts, Ino few moments the dervish had become coupara- tlvely calm, thouch for the rest of the time £ observed that he continued to twitch and jerk convulsively, while his eyes rolled wildly.

The Sheikh was to duugysted with the weale nerves of our party thathe treated us with a shade of'contempt henceforth, and seemed vory nearly determined to go ou with the ceremony whother we kod {t or not. I confess I regretted that {t should hare been brought to'aclose atbtha moment when tt was becoming really Interesting; but the testlmon: of an Zaetieh medical man of high reputation and experience, who has been long # residdnt In the East, aod who has witnessed both ihe plere- ing of the abdomen and the neck, will have moro welght than mine. This gentleman has informed mo Une the operation in both cases Is genuine, The knife goes in about alx inches, [ myself saw that thera was no possibility of its being slipped back into the handle. ‘Aa it drawn eharply out by the Sheikh, he wets hf forefinger with his tonguc and instantly places it on the wound, which than closos, leaving only aecar, but there ts no aten of blood or foflam- mation, I was tunable on this occasion to re- mintn behind and sattefy myself on tho subject, but the Sheikh and his disclotes evidontly took umbrace at our refusal to sco all they were pro- pared to show, anid attributed it probably to skepticlam, though, In fact, a too vivid belief in the reality of the performance on the part of aome of our party was what so abruptly termi- nated our visit. I asked the Sheikh, however, to come and gee mo on the following dav, which he did, and Thad along and interestiog conversation with him. He said that from early youth ho bad been trained to {ntense concentration and pray. er, and repeated to me the forme of invocation by which both Allah and the Bhelkh Bedawi could be approached. Partially closing his eyes and lowering bis yoice to a whisper, he pro- nounced these formulas, the breath becoming longer and lower until {t was almost imper- ceptible, and the whole frame being apparently - al an extrome teosion. ‘The sentences were cont pty and almost automatically repeated. Housing himeelt, after ho had shown me the inanuer of Invocation, he afd that, had be gone on a little louver, he would have fallen into a trance: that trances thus {nduced were tommon to him, and that while he was In them be could become conscious of the presence of the Sheikh. Bedawi and converse with him; that he repeat- edly did 80, but that ft was never permitted to lum to divulge what passed. Me said It was not absulutely necessary to be a Mohammedan in order to be a member of the Order, but « profound and entire belief in the Sheikh Bedow! as the source ot thelr cower was essential, aud as Bedawt, while on earth, had been a devout Moslem prua- tically, none but Mostems ever sought to belon to the order. At the same tine he admitte that such practices were vot recognized by the Koran, und they are, fladeed, opposed to ite solrit: but he ctafmed that Allah permitted them for exceptional purposes, and that the ob- ject of the Order was to prove the truth of the miracles recorded uf great proplets, such as Abhaham, Moses, aud Christ, al! of whom could perforin slinilar wonderful works, and persons doubting the truth of this could be convinced that they were possible in old timus by seelniz what waa pussible cow, If, bowever. they wero attempted even by members af the Order from any other than arelicious motive, the protection of Bedawl would tu withdrawn, and Gaey would certainly prove fatal.
