THE DARKEST NIliHT. "He theu having received the sop went ont straightway, and it WHS night.1' Earth's darkest night is not that one on which the lights are out and the stars refuse to i*hine. Nor yet io the night of sorrow the darkest. It may be true that theo life's light is dimmed, and a great gloom settles over one's poor spirit. But there ts a darker night still-the night of re morse, when a raging grief ?nd shame $ave burned the heart to ashes-wheo -ene marches away condemned from the judgment bar of his own soul when one feels, as Judas did, that he is undone, and earth has no relief for him-that the only way out of this aight is by a suicidal hand to open 4he gates which usher into anight that is darker still. , How many interviews Judas had with the priests, we do not know. All along for two years or more, they had been watching their chance. Maybe this knowledge had been like a fire-brand in the mind of Judas. ?The eyes of the priests had beeo to -Jindas like the eyes of a serpent to a .bird. He knew that the opportunity iov a bargain was never closed to him, and this knowledge at last conquered him. I used to play checkers some times with my dear old friend, Ned Cuttinoj DOW gone away from me, and sometimes he would not hesitate to show me a trap he had set for me. He fixed it, and left it there, feeling < confident that, sooner or later, I wonld fall into itt, and generally I did. So l?tgh priests did. They did not conceal their designs, and Judas was .caught at last. God pity the man who has to live daily and hourly with in sight and sound of a great tempta ,$dn! The time came when Judas eonld hold out no ioDger. 1 guess it is a sort of apology a brother disciple ssskes for him when he says, "Satan entered into him." So, one night while a stiff argument was going ca in the hall of the assem bled high priests, there was a cat-like step approaching the door, and then a timid rap. The man who stood there looked quickly about to see if he waa watched, and was impatient till the door was opened. Then be hold the spectacle that follows under the glare and Hash of the lights Jesus' friend, Jesus' disciple has ?orne ?o bargain with Jesus' enemies! The moment the priests found out why ho had come, they assumed a patronizing air. What they said Against Jesus, how they denounced him, and looked laughingly into each other's eyes, will never be known. But the contract iras made. The Lord was sold, and Judas had the money in his open palm-thirty pieces of silver-fifteen or twenty dollars in ?ur money. Then he went out. His bargain was that he would kiss his Master when he found him, sud so point him out. Therefore he told ??hem when and* where to come. The accomplishing of a wicked scheme-the nervous excitement of the thing-will keep one np for awhile; but the spirit quails at last. That mopey there in o Judas' band is not doing him any good now. Nay, / he clutches it tightly, lest seme one ?should hear it rattle. The very sound of the gold io his hand would startle him more than the hiss of a serpeot 5o his bosom. Did he despise him self? Yes, ?and that was bad eoough, "bot those men whom he had left they despised him too-those priests. . They had paid him their money, but it was like casting refuse to a dog, and he knew it. The idea of money being a solace to a man io this con dition! There are people liviog in great aod splendid homes, gotten through si of ul gain aod fraud, aod to them the floors are never smooth, the lights are always dim, the beds hard and uncomfortable. A man may sell himself for money; but money will .not cancel the obligation. Bot let ns follow Judas. A great crimina!, like a great sufferer, easily .arrests our atteotioo. Judas now goes back to his old place io that up per room. He is the conscious car rier of a great secret. Can he keep it? There are some secrets that can not be kept. Io Hoop's story of Eu gene Aram, he tells how the murderer cast his victim in the.river. Now the corpse lies buried and is safe from mortal eyes. But on the following moroing, the murderer returns to the spot, and there lay the corpse-the faithless stream was dry. It was so with Judas. For lo! Jesus koew the secret, aod publicly exposed the trait or. What a timeVthat was when they were all asking, "Lord, is it I? ia it I?'' and Judas had to ask it too. How his voice trembled that nightj_ Then too he had to look upon the pained face of his Master, and *Toho says Jesus was troubled io spirit. Judas had also to come into touch again with his former comrades. It must have been an awful hour. It was Jesus who cut the interview short. There was no use to prolong the agony, and hence he said, "What thou doest, do quickly." Then Judas went out, "and it was night." Grave, solemn, holy night 1 Did thy sweet stars twinkle aod twinkle aod grow pale and dim? A man had sold his mas ter! Judas had bargained away his L^rd for money/ N'ght. ! Tt WHS SI1 ! ways night to any man who tums hi. . hack H n treachery on his beste fii??ii?i. Judas was to be with Jrsus no iu ?re. Only once again was ,he to see him ? under the glare of torches, aud th?n ! never more until the day when earth sud sea give up their dead, and Jud? ! and Jesus staud face to face. He bio surrendered all claims upon Jesus for help and blessing-even thu privilege of worship and prayer was gone. All gone; but he had the money. Yes, hr had that, and it tinkled in the folds of his robe while J??hn was asking, "ls it 1?" Now he is out in the night, and he holds the niouey io his palm. It writhes like a nest of ser pents, it burns like a fire from hell, und uuder some dim light he is pass ing, the shilling of the money struck his brain, and made him mad and crazy. Go, spend your money, man, and enjoy it. Surely you have pain dearly enough for it; now get out ??f ;t ali you can. Go down into the city where the gleeful and happy people live, go to the place of carousal And sure enough, yonder he goes--go*> like the flight of a horse. Down int? the city now? No, I see him stand ing there, out of breath, at the door of the high priests' hall, the very place where he got the money. "Take i! I take it!" he cries. "I have sinned ! I have betrayed an innocent mau!' And the money jingles on the floor. Then out again into the night-a night now grown but darker far him; for there is a darkness whicli even gold cannot charm away. Where now, "Judas? ''Ah! whither shall I flee from hell ? Myself am heil !" He cannot get rid of his sin ; so .Ide gets rid of himself. Somewhere he dis covers an old leathern rope. Stand ing on the city wall that overlooked the deep valley, he ties the rope, one end about his neck, the other to the wall, and then he leaps. There is a jerk, a soap; the rope breaku, end Judas, falling open the jagged, rocks beneath, bursts open. Abd it was still night-night in the world he left, acd night in the world whitter he went. That was the end of the man who sold his Lord. Shall we curse and censure him? No, not now. Some times there come moments of spiritual delirium, when for the gratification bf some sinful impulse, one is willing to give up everything else. John Bun yan said that for a year he was con tinually tempted by a vice which seemed to say, "Sell Christ ! par: with Christ!" The man upon whom 'Satan has fixed his burning eye-yea, into whom the evil spirit baa alreuc y tu tored-deserves the pity aoc the prayer of every believing soul. Judas is the marvel of the New Testament. A man who grew worse and worse at heart, while yet he lived nuder the holiest influence. But he went away at last, and out into the night. There was night in the world about him night in the throbbing heavens above -night in his heart-night in the blackness of his thoughts-night lu the pit to which his spirit went night everywhere and forever.-C.

'Even Philadelphia Calls Bustlotou a Sleepy Old Place. Nestling cozily at the junction of two colonial highways out in the Thirty-fifth ward, Bustleton enjoys the unique distinction of being c veritable Sleepy Hollow within the limits of this great city, in spite or the activity supposed to be indicated by its name. While every other por tion of the city and many country sections have their free postal deliv ery systems, the residents of Bustle ton are still compelled to go to the postoffice and inquire for any mail matter that may be awaiting them. In the way of facilities for reaching the heart of the city they are aLc practically no better off than they were half a century ago, when the Btage coach was the only method of public conveyance. The town is most beautifully lo cated at the junction of the old Welsh road, laid out and used al most 200 years ago, and the main road leading from Bucks county to the city, known as the Bustleton turnpike, which was macadamized about 1807 The Welsh road was so named because it held from the old King's highway-the Bristol turn pike-at Eolmesburg, to the Welsh hills. Back of Bustleton and run ning past the old Pennypack Bap tist meeting house, the oldest of its kind in the city, is the Krewstown road, which takes its name from a celebrated family of patriots during the Revolutionary war, the descend ants of whom are still living in that section. Bustleton itself, according to tra dition, got its name from a woman, vbo in the early days lived on the site of the present railroad station. She was an active housewife, and when the question of naming the T illage came up some one suggested the name of the woman. The name .way, however, a Welsh one and rather hard for the uninitiated to g;it: around, and that idea was given up. But, according to the stories handed down in the old families, the town was called Bustle town in hon or of the bustling character of the woman. Since then the name hus been corrupted into Bustleton. Foir o ver 70 - years, the only means o? travel between Bustleton and this ??ty were the old stage coaches. But in 1870 the Pennsylvania railroad built a branch out from Holmes buirg, which resulted in driving off the stage coaches. George Birk munn, now proprietor of a hotel at Holmesburg Junction, formerly owned the stage coach line, and he tells many interesting stories of the old days. He bought the line about 38150. But it had been operated for half a century before that by John Risdon, David Davis and others. The fare to and from the city from Bustleton was 25 cents each way. By railroad it is now 64 cents for the round trip, or 38 cents for a single fare. Two trips were made by the stage coach each way to Second and Arch streets, and the time consumed be tween the terminal points was one and a half hours. Counting delays, by reason of trains laying over and afterward taking trolley cars at Front and Berks streets, Birkmann claims that there is little or no sav ing in time between then and now. By the recent taking off of trains for want of traffic, Bustleton is in point of fact no better off today in the mat ter of early and late transporta tion than it was when stage coaches were run half a century ago. Twenty-five years ago Bustleton had the large La Grange and the Lod gos' Print works running, which, together with tho Yerkes Edgo Tool works, near by, gavo employment to several hundred people of both sexes. Now not one of these is run ning, and there is not a single man ufacturing interest employing half a dozen hands being carried on in the town. Notwithstanding all this, Bust leton is one of the most delight ful and healthful sections of the city in which to live, and its people aro happy and contented. But they woulld like to have mail delivery by carriers. Among the residents of the pretty little town are still many families whose ancestors for generations back lived and died in the same place. The Dungans, Snyders, Yon kers, Murrys, Brouses, Heritages, Knights, Shallcrosses, Hogans, Greggs anti a host of others still live there and vote at the same {lolling places .vhero their great-grandfa thers voted in the early days of tho republic.-Philadelphia Record.

The Anneal Yield of thc Golf of Califor nia Ia About $300,000. Tho agent of the English proprie tors of the concession granted by the Mexican republic f ^r a monopoly of pearl fishing in tho gulf of Cali fornia recently gave some interest ing details of the present methods employed in their industry, which has continued ever since the occupa tion of the country in the timo ot Cortes. The whole coast of the gulf of California abounds in pearls, and the concessions control the entire territory. Until within the last few years native divers were employed, and the depth to which they could descend did not exceed 35 feet. With the introduction of diving apparatus the limit of depth was increased to 30 fathoms. The best divors could formerly remain under water not to exceed two minutes. A modern diver thinks nothing of a two hour stop in water 100 feet in depth, though at greater depths the stay ie necessarily shortened on account oi the enormous pressure of the super incumbent water. A diver when upon the floor of the ocean looks about for the oyster, which he tears from the object to which it is at tached, and places it in a small bag hanging to a rope, which is hauled into the boat On a given signal. Sometimes the number of oysters seemed is large. At other times only a few are caught. The diver does not contine himself to tho pearl oyster alone, but if he sees a rare specimen of coral or a sew species of shell he places it in his tog and sends it to the surface, where it becomes th? property of the concession and one source of its large income. Last year, the value of the pearls harvested in Lower California was alone $350.000. In addition 5,000 tons of ?helle were exported, which were valued at $1,250,000 mora Pearl fmhing is the entire occupa tion of the natives, and La Paz, the headquarters, a city of the penin sula, with about 2,000 inhabitants, is solely dependent upon the indus try. The business is one of chance, and the pursuit is a fascinating one to the natives, who are born gam blers. ?Every oyster does not contain its pearl, and only at intervals, and rare ones at that, is a really valua ble pearl discovered. The largest one ever found was about three quarters of an inch in diameter and was sold in Paris to the emperor of Austria for $10,000.. Many black pearls are found in Lower Califor nia and are valued higher than the pure white. The large majority are seed pearls and are only of moder ate valua San Francisco is not the market for Mexican pearls, though it ought to be. The harvest is exported straight to London and Paris and distributed from those great mar kets. The dangers of pearl fishing have always been exaggerated, possibly to give a fictitious value to the beau tiful gems. The loss of life in the fisheries in Lower California was undoubtedly larger before the intro duction of the diving dress, but it is not an established tact that the deaths were always caused by the shark or octopus, though these ma rine monsters were without doubt responsible for the loss of many lives. Every diver has plenty of hair raising stories to relate of nar row escapes from death, but as bo is the only witness of these affairs it makes the difficulty to substantiate them so much the greater. The occupation at beat is a hazard ous one, and those who were engaged in it before the introduction of div ing apparatus were always short lived. The demand in the world's markets for pearls of extra beauty is always far in excess of the sup ply..--Mineral Collector.*' - Thc smallest tree in the world is (she Greenland birch.

Nothing is moro delicate and deli cious for luncheons and high teas than a cured ham baked. Take a ham weighing from seven to nine pounds and soak it overnight. In tho morning scrape the outside, rinse well and roll around it a bunch of sweet hay. Place it in a good sized kettle and cover it with cold water. Put the kettle over the fire, and when the water reaches tho boiling point place it over the cooler part of the fire, whero the ham will just simmer for two hours. Then take it from the fire and let the meat re main in the kettle until the liquid is just lukewarm. Then take out the ham and peel off the skin. Place the meat in a baking pan and bake in a moderate oven two hours, using a cup of wine, hurd cider or vinegar sweetened with brown sugar to baste it with, pouring on two table spoonfuls at a time until theamount is used. Then baste frequently with the drippings from the ham. When the ham is baked, befors it is re moved from the oven take a cup cf finely rolled stale broad crumbs and two teaspoonfuls of brown sugar ind a level teaspoonful of dry mus tard and moisten with a little ci 1er or wine to make a paste. Spread this over the ham and return it to the oven long enough to have it a nice brown.
