It is a vain thought to flee from the
work that God appoints us, for the sake
of finding a greater blessing to our
own souls, as if we could choose for
ourselves where we shall find the fullness

seeking it where alone it is to be found

i BIBLICAL RESEARCH.
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

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.

yield to the influences of civilization.

IN THE SHADOW.
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."

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."
