"But," says some one, "while Wy we admit the' Bible is--of. GUd; it has ).O not been understood, until our time."

I have two wonders In regard to these men. The first :one is, how the Lord got along without them before< they were born. Tihe second wonder is 1 how the Lord will get along wit-hout them after they are dead. "But," sAy some, "do you really think the Scriptures are INsPfIED THROUGIHOUT" Yes, either as history or as guidance. ' Gibbon and Josephus and Prescott re Scord in their histories a great many Sthings they did not approve of.

She was so perverse in her nature t,hat she would be not reclaimed, but seemed only to be born to be a p)la gue to me. The strength of Samson, the knowledge of Homer, the prudence of Augustus, the cunning of Pyrrhus, the patience of Job, the subtlety of Hlannibal and the watchfujness of Her mogehies, could .not have sualiced to subdue her; for no skill or force in the world would do her good.

How Bandanas ago aade, The material of which the bandana (a Spailsh word) is made is either silk or cotton, and is dyed in different col ors-more .commonly red, but some-. times also yellow and blue, with round or -diamond-shape'd spots all over it. The process of the manufacture of the bandana is this: The material is first dyed the desired color, and a pile of the handkerchiefs is tlien put into a press b,etween two copper' plates,, one of p'htogi is fastened to the top apd the otlier i ) the bottom of :*the press.

Such costumes were never seen be fore, and the value of the jewels worn was to be reckoned by millions of dol, lars. A conspicuous figure was Mme, Gautherau, the noted Creole beauty She was dressed as Cupid, and ol course .her raiment was exceedingly scanty.- But she was literglly inorusted with gold and gems. The abbreviated skirts of: her costume were actualli made of pure gold, spun and wovei into gauze so delicate that it was not much heavier than sifk. Another much admired costume was that of the famous beauty, Mme, Barn trdaki. She was a Diana. Het bodice was of blue velvet. and het skirt of white satin, and every stitel in the seams of these was marked by a diam6nd or a sapphire. Hanging over her shoulder was a panther's skin, and her hair was pow dered, not with diamond dust, but with diamonds And sapphires as big ai peas, all held in place by a network o: gold thread. She had on her person more t,han $250,000 worth of precioul stones. Mile. Marie Van Zandt, the Ameri can singer, was esteemed one of the most beautiful women Dresent. . Mme. Pasta, the actress, wore a se of real imperial Russian sables, one o: less than a. dozen sets in the worlk owned by persons outside of -royalty She had also a marvelous coronet o pearls and diamonds, said to be worti more than $100 000. - Gorgenus Umbrellas.

Of the-place of the umbrella in the pop)ular estimation of the Chinese I can not adduce a more striking in stance than the recognized testimnonial to every popular official on leaving a large community over which he has ruled beneficentl.y and without opprea slin. It is a large umbrella of red silk or satin," richly embroidered In gold, it is about four feet In diameter and is raised on a pole nine. feet high-and surmounted with a gilt knob. its name, wang-ming-san, or, umbrella of mayrald names, imblies that it is an offering from at least ten thousand persons, who were all of one mind in giving it. Sometimes the principal nmames are painted amid clouds on the deep satin curtains. So this ponderous decoration is a most literal "legion of honor," and the proud recipient is thenceforth distinguished as the owner of a ten-thiousandl-man umbrellal A Japanese Comic Artisti Coming~ to more modern times a brief glance on the wag of the distant -land is in pleasant order. .
