I In the middle ages, and days when K men made wonderful pilgrimages to HI the Holv Land, it used to be a story I that fowls were never seen on the waters of the Dead Sea, and indeed, that birds could not fly over it alive. " The name of the Dead Sea is derived from this circumstance?that it does not sustain any kind of living thing; for there are neither fish in its depth nor water-fowl swimming upon its surface. And bulls and camels float Upon it.?(Beda Venerabilis, "DeLocis Sanctuch. xi.) " The Lake, destitute for norishing or sustaining fishes, as well as fowl accustomed to frequent waters, even by itB pestilential air kills birds that may happen to be flying about it."?Zullart, "Le Tres.Devot Voyage de Jerusalem.'' Liv. IV, p. 16. Here is a fantasy which has better I basis than many others and as good -claim to everlasting existence as any among the marvelous things reported of the Terra Sancta; but, unfortunately, now and then a sensible observer looks at things just as they are and stupidly tells the exact truth. " Lost several hours waiting for wind near Rajm Lut Saw a flock of black of wotif on fKo FW.a/4 Cno o 8 lp>ird flying over, and afterwards a flight ^^^^a-gulls."?(Le Due ae Luynes, wUj^^Sj^^gxploration d la Mer Morte, flocks BHQ^Bm|Kbout half a mile M^M^^oor^^^racuc5R!?!nti3ilielion ~$?> 5Brce old table that birds, flying over j^Bhe Dead Sea, fall into it dead."? Lieut. Conder, "Tent Work in PalesBane," II, 20.) P So dieth this chimera. As yet, how fever, it holds true that fishes cannot ex st in the water of the Dead Sea. B " I have never found any living ani mal in the water, though many fish, brought down by the Jordan current, salted along the shores.''?Lieut. Conder, " Tent Work," II, 20. W The same is true at the southern end I of the Sea. There the party of the Due ' de Luynes found a lagoon, between the vSea and Jebel Usdum, supplied by a m. hot salt spring and frequently inunJ dated by the sea. Although this water ^Mjftpugly resembled, in taste and speciHBBgravity, the waters of the Dead Sea, BB umber of little fishes, scientifically H^Hown as Cyprinodon Moseas, Cuv., Bl C. Ivnatus, Ehrb., were living in ' it. But, caught with care and living weil in a dish filled with lagoon-water, they instantly died when transferred to a dish filled with water from the Dead Sea. ^ ^- It cannot fail to be extremely interesting to those who claim the bottom of the southern portion of the Dead Sea for the Vale of Siddim, submerged by a supposed rise of the surface of the sea, through a presumed increase of wa[ ter, to read Lieutenant Conder's reL marks upon former levels of this body ^ of water: '^The present north shore of the ^ Dead Sea is a shingly beach, with a M ridge of pebbles at the top of a someHwhat steep slope. Some thirty feet W above high water mark a second simiW lar beach may be seen inland, and w about a hundred feet above the water a third There can be little doubt that we see in these raised beaches former limits of the lake. Above the beaches, oftma thpoo VinnHrpH hichar than the water, there are flat shelves of marl, with steep slopes, much worn by water action. These marks are deposited again8t the high dolomitic cliffs, the tops of which are about the level of the Mediterranean. The shelves have also been recognized as former shores of the sea, and this level may be called the r ~ Siddim level."?("Tent Work in Pales' tine." 11,43.) Verily, this looks very much as though the Dead Sea has been continualy lowering, instead of ever raising its surface. The meteorology of Suez does not yield to the influences of civilization. Neither the maritime canal, nor the ^^?fty acres of cultivation has any apHfl^uable effect in increasing the rainwhich remains at about inches and often does HB^^H^^fl^^B^amount per annum. yet become HHHHB^^^ith its Choits Food for Reflection.

Hove to see my darling's happy smile, \s her young husband parts her golden hair, And takes from her sweet lips the kisses there, And yields contented to her pure shy wile; I love my Idle hours to beguile | With the bright babe, that, fresh and rosy fair, Links In golden bond that Joyous pair, Like a long sunbeam ;down a cloistered aisle, Their gladness flings across my arid path Its little glow and glory; but I pass Out of its lustre, where the hand of death Throws its unlifting shadow on the grass, 1 And crouching down amid its chill I say, "Here lies my lot; outside is hope and day." j Good resolutions are an honor to every heart that forms then . But I that honor takes to itself a new lustre, and that heart is nobler still, when the resolutions are not broken. Death conies equally to us all, and j makes all equal when he comes. The J ashes of an oak in a chimney are no epitaph of that, to tell me how high, J 1 or how large, it was; it tells me not what flocks it sheltered while it stood, nor what men it hurt when it fell. The dust of great persons' graves is ' speechless, too; it says nothing, it dis- ] tinguishes nothing. As soon the dust of a wretch whom thou wouldst not, as of a prince whom thou couldst not, ; look upon, will trouble thine eyes if j the wind blows it thither; and when a whirlwind hath blown the dust of J the churhyard into the church, and the man sweeps the dust out of the church into the church-yard, who will undertake to sift those ) acain.and toDronounce. "This is the patrician, this is the noble flower, and this the yooman, this the plebeian bran."?Donne. WHAT I LOVE. I love the ploughman's whistle, The reaper's cheerful song, The drover's oftrrepeated shout. Spurring his stock along; The bustle of the market man. As be hies him to the town, The hallo from the tree top, As the ripening fruit comes down ; The busy sound of the threshers, As they clean the ripened grain; The husker's Joke and catch of glee 'Neath the moonlight on the plain; The kind voice of the drayman, The shepherd's gentle call? These sounds ol pleasant industry, I love?I love them all. We do not arrive at the sublime by degrees, for infinite distances separate it even from the beautiful. MY THEME. " Dip your pen in the ink," she cried, "And write me a song that shall Uve for aye." She slightly laughed, I softly sighed, And Love was the theme I chose that day. Love was my theme, Love was my song, When the sun crept out from the clouds that day, The fragrant winds, drifting along, Whispered the same sweet, passionate lay. Her cheek waxed white, her cheek waxed red, ^ - And the tide of her heart stood ^jjj^vith a H^^SIgn; - " ' ? ? i " Tis not the song you have writ," she said, j "But the theme you have chosen shall never die." Her cheeks waxed white, her cheeks waxed red, As I said, " Let me teach you the strength of my theme." 44 No need of a teacher, sir," she said, For it comes to our hearts like a tender dream."

Moule and Alexander. The game opened with W. G. and E. M. Grace at the bat. At the end oi an hour and a halfs play one wicket was lost for 9 runs. E. M. Grace was taken at mid-off for 36. At 4.20 o'clock the score was 2S1 for four wickets, W. G. Grace being just out with a total of 152. At the end of the day's play the score of the Englishmen was 410 for eight wickets. Fashions. NEW TRIMMINGS. Among the most important and prominent accessories, or rather trimmings, of a toilet are passementeries and embroideries. An unheard of profusion will exist during the coming season in ornamentation, and costumes will be seen covered with the utmost elaboration of white jet, mother-ofpearl, gold and silver, opalescent beads, pink pearls and flossy silks, lUte the sparkling of a casket of jewels. On white filmy lace and white satin is exquisitely represented the finest work in vines and flowers, fantastically trimmed with leaves and curling tendrils. On a broad band of white lace is seen the snow-drop-pattern. The deep points of the lower edge are separated by a delicate bind ing 01 uimiu-iJKe wniie cueiiine ami gold twist. In the centre of each point droops a graceful cluster of snowdrops, embroidered in chenille floss silk and pearls; the gilt stems and branches have leaves of opal beads in shifting shades of cream, violet and palest green ; the points are finished with tiny scallops of fine chenille and the delicate tints of opalscent beadwork. This beautiful pattern is also produced on black tulle, and the embroidery is done in the most brilliant colors, and on black worked with gold thread only. A magnificent white satin trimis still more elaborate; the lower edge is scalloped with finest handwork of gilt thread and shaded green beads and seed pearls; at certain distances apart are butter-flies with outspread wings, outlined with gilt thread, filled in with knots of variegated metallic threads and seed pearls; the body is in high relief, being stuffed, and is embroidered with shaded green metallic threads and barred across with copper geld, and the head is of red gold beads, dotted with black. The curling vines are done in green seed beads and gilt thread; the main stem is of fine pink ?-vu i .i.a _ peans, wnu iulus iiuwers ui meuiiiic blue and pink seed beads filled in with creamy floss, and tendrils curl about them of gilt thread and dropping, pear-shaped pearls. The upper edge of this superb band is embroidered in bars of alteraflte pearls and knotted threads of variegated metallic lustre. A band of white lace a quarter of a yard wide is exquisitely scalloped with finest work of seeded pearls and chenille thread. In each scallop is a large cluster of fuchsias embroidered with white floss in the heaviest manner; the long, drooping tassel-like pistils are made of graduated pearls, each finished with one pear-shaped pearl; the leaves and buds are of finest work of seeded pearls and opal segments of bugles. A wide white applique trimming alternates with a buckle-shaped and elaborate medallion. These are on lace. The buckles are outlined with pink pearls in small arabesques, closely massed, and knots of glowing metallic threads. From these spread rays of shaded copper gold cut beads, with filling in with pearls and floss; the medallions are outlined with fine, opal tinted bugles and shaded pale green and gold cut glass fine beads. Thft ofTin't. ia that of t.ho richest coins in flashing, changing light. Other white laces are embroidered in imitation of Brussels and Valenciennes. An exquisite with lace imitates old point in flowers worked in white floss and chenille thread, varied with seed pearls, delicate iridescent seed beads in a frosty sheen wrought like stippled shadows. The lower edge of scallops is in an intricate design of floss silk glowing with mother-of-pearl colors; graduated pearls drop like lily cups in clusters from trailing vines of silky floss and silver thread. Another applique on white satin is a series of medallions of pearls with centres of pink pearls in trefoil of variegated metallic threads glowing with the colors of ruby, emerald, opal, sapliire and topaz, set like jewels in finest outlining of gold thread. A cobwebby lace seems strewn with falling snowflakes and flashing icicles of iridescent hues. One of the most beautiful of the lace bands has deep points of large pearls and embroidery of sheeny iridescent bugles as fine as a cambric needle. The graceful lilies and foliage are exceedingly rich with heavy floss work, liny iransparem ocau* giisieuiug wnu shifting rays of blue and gold, and broad leaves of silver, outlined^ leaves filled in with fine cut-glass beads, so delicate that there is only a shadow of water green to be seen. In stronger contrast is an applique trimming of wide branching foliage of finest jet bugle embroidery outlined with gold thread; here and there are clusters of large berries done to shaded irarnet seed beads outlined with black beads and gold thread. Some of the elaborately worked Japanese bands on cloth are four and six inches wider; one specimen on maroon cloth has all the quaint, odd designs seen in screens and fans, with medallions applique in silk of a contrasting color, ond then worked in gay flowers, crescents of gold silk worked in straight bars of olive dotted with green?a tea-box and fan, a flower and zigzafl lashes in the most irregular mannf rB This style of embroidery on cloth is very fashionable and can be easily done at borne by any one familiar with Japanese designs, which are copied fr?<m pottery and screens. The passion for jet has by no means subsided; on the contrary judging from the excessive massive trimmings and extreme cost, it is on the increase. These are mostly in wide applique bands of branches and flowers, open worked; the material upon which they are embroidered in this heavy manner is cut out underneath. Some are done entirely with the finest of bugles, representing long leaves and sunflowers, tulips, lilies, daisies, or clusters of smaller flowers, sometimes a bird or insect; the leaves may be worked in the tiniest seed bead work or in large fine lance like bugles. Heavier bands are equally or more elaborate. Some have a lx>rder of soft, satin piping fringe and jet, the centre showing tuftings of mossy chenille and crescents and stars of cut jet. The beading is composed of curling ostrich feathers. A wide fringe, a quarter of a yard in depth, is of great weight. There is a heavy passementerie Itead-piping top holding the fringe of fine bugles, cut jet beads of graduated sizes completed with long jet droplets.. This at wholesale price costs $30 a yard. Another slyle, still more costly, is an elaborate mixture of satin balls in trellis work, sprays of fine jet beadsVith satin buds, tulips and butterflies of heaviest jet I work. The new favorite trimming is called Marabout. To realize the deJ scription, this may be compared to a fence of alternate heavy jxwts with fine wire work between. These silken posts are entwined around with fine seed jet beads ; between these is a lattice work in diamonds or squares of i beads. Each edge is fringed with j curled laminee or ostrich, or chenille | tufted, and sprigs of jet wires. On a j band six inches wide is interwoven a complication of narrow twist fringe and jet, chenille with jet droplets and tufted moss headed by black feathery grasses and thistles glittering with jet and silver dust. Small shoulder capes not only glitter with the most ornate bead work and heavy fringes of jet, but are elaborately m*ide in the groupj ing of jet and gold bead floral designs, j Some of these of immense weight are j masses of beads, fine bugles, satin balls j and wide fringes. The Drum Major. Why is it that the drum major always monopolizes the admiration of the small boy? He invariably takes him for something in mense, and he is about right. A Chicago Tribune, reporter describes one pf these magnificent creatures thus: " His feet rose and ien Willi me regularity01 quartz erusners; his bearskin wa? as towering and , fluffy as a cat's spring tinie. ! His gauntleted left hand was glued to his hip, and his gauntleted right to his I staff', sawing right and left for dear ! life. Then he reached the second line of review and prepared to salute. First i he raised the staff shoulder high and 1 wobbled it four times like the walking j beam of an engine. Then he reversed I it and gaveone gilderfluke to the right j and two flabdabs to the left; twirled the knob seven times, flung the staff twenty feet in the air, and made a motion as if he were going to turn a triple 1 somerset before it came down again. Instead of this, however, he caught it i deftly, tucked it under his right arm, shot out his left horizontally, crooked his elbow and laid the back of his hand on his brow. And he did all this with ; such skill, rapidity and pride that the j small boy cried: 0, looker him, JimJ my! My eye! don't he look like a ' biled lobster nor notbin." j A Man Who Breathes Through His Ears. A Norwich (Conn.) dispatch to the New York Sun says: The following remarkable statement has been journeying through the Connecticut press: "Now it is a Yankee, Mr. Samuel ?"? * f x? _ TV! isromiey, 01 joriysuc iviver, ju iue otitic of Connecticut, who announces his ability to live for ten hours with*his ! nose and mouth hermetically sealed. ! Where is this thing to stop? The individual referred to above is ^ the popular barber of Mystic, a little ! village on the Sound, between NewLondon and Watch Hill. He has a I unique office in the main street of that delightful old-time hamlet, and is well 1 known along the coast as " Fat Sam." Those acquainted with Sam see no rea! son why he should not be able to acj complish what is coupled with his j name, for he is able to breathe for a ! time without the use of mouth or nost; trils, communication between his lungs and the outside world being kept up i through his ears. When smoking a ; cigar he often exhales the smoke through the same extraordinary channels, to the profound astonishment of ' those who are unaware of this freak of n.ifuro AT?inir noruittiu who have seen 1 the jet of cigar smoke creeping out of ' his ears are willing to testify to the truthfulness of " Fat Sam's" assertion, i Though not particularly fond of notoriety, Sam thinks he can establish his ability to live practically "hermetically J sealed" for ten days. r . What a quaint way Herbert Spencer has of putting things. The following is front his Data of Ethics; "But | just as the rampant egotism of a brutal i millitancy was not to be remedied by j attempts at the absolute subjection of ' the ego in convents and monasteries,so ! neither is the misconduct of ordinary humanity, as now existing, to bereme: died by upholding standard of abcej gation beyond humai/aehievment."
