In a recent letter he writes : “I don’t wonder that Boaz fell in love with Ruth. The Bethlehem girls are among the beauties of the East, and you will find more pretty girls in the 'hills of Judeu than in the same amount of territory anywhere else the world over. A shipload of these Bethlehem maidens, if they could be transported to the great North-West, would capture the bonanza farmers of the Dakotas just as Ruth captured the great land-owner, Benz, and when they came‘ back to \Vashington as Senators’ wives they would be the belles of the capital. These Bethlehem maidens are fair-skinned and hright~eye 1. They have straight, well- rounded forms, which they clothe, in long dresses of white linen, so beautifully em- broidered in silk that asingle-gown requires many months of work. This dress is much like an American woman’s nightgown, ‘ without the frills and laces. It falls from the neck to the feet, and is open at the ront ina narrow slit as far down as 'a modest decollete dress. Over this gown they wear sleeveless cloaks of dark red stripes. and the head they cover with a long shawl of linen embroidered with silk. Each girl wears her dower on her person in the shape of a. necklace of Coins and the forehead of each maiden is decorated with a crown of coins. some of which are silver and others gold.” ‘ ‘ Why, Sensuinxy," said Doctor John, meekly. “ It’s in the air out here to do erratic things, but, the neighbors in your town shall never know, I swear it." ,r _ .. “ ‘1 on see,” smxlcd Doctor John, “ I was right. about our humble vegetable.

Wherever the fur is to be cut it must be marked on the skin side with chalk. not letting it out quite through at first, and then pull the pieces apart, finishing the cut very delicately so as not to spoil the fur. On no nccannt must scissors be used, as they will cut the fur on the outside in spite of the greatest precaution. When it is all cut,the edges to be sewed are brought together and moistened and sewed over- hnnd with waxed cotton thread. Silk cuts the skin. When the seam is sewed it should be laid fur side down on a. board and the seam again moistened, and pressed l flat by rubbing it with a shell or some‘ other smooth-surface artic‘e. If done t his : way no seam is visible on the outside and ' the garment looks as well as ifdone lry pro- l fessional sewers.

' Thus engaged, the combatants swayed to ‘ the‘brow of a. hill. down which the bear cast. himself with a. velocity that plainly discon- ‘ certed the serpent, for it unwound two or 1 three of its folds and threw its tail around i a. tree, hoping so to anchor the bear. The ' manreuvre resulted in its own undoing, in ; more ways‘than one. ) Tne rigid, outstretched line of tail gave the bear a chance to seize its assailant, a. chance which up to this time had not been alfarded. The hear was quick to seize its opportunity, and fastened its‘jnws in the snake’s quivering flesh The hissing was now frighful, as the snake rapidly un- wound itself and struck savagely an the bear’s jaws. quarters of a. coffee-cupful of almonds, i blanched and shredded.

That this figure of speech is correct in describing its appearance I am certified by an incident. After crossing the Atlantic the first time and writing from Baslc, Switzerland, to an I American an account 'of my Voyage, in which nothing more fascinated me than i. the phosphorescence in the ship’s wake.

Re- turning to my hotel I found a. book of John Ruskin, and the first sentence my eyes fell upon was his description of phos- phorescence, in which he called it “The Lightning of the Sea.” Down to the postolhce I hastened to get the manuscript, and, with great labor and expense, got possession of the magazine article and pub quotation m urks around that one sentence, although it. was as orig-inai with me as ‘..vith John Ruskin.

Aye, we are all following somebody. either in right or wrong directions. A fewduys ago I stood beside the garlanded casket of a gospel minister, and in my remarks had occasion to recall a. snowy night in a. farmhouse when I was a. boy, and an evangelist spend- ingu night at my father’s house, who said something so tender and beautiful, and impressive that it led me into the kingdom of God, and decided my destiny for this world and the next.

I am not talking of remarkable men and women, but of what ordinary folks can do. I am not speaking of the phosphor- escence in the wake of the “Campanile,” I And here I correct one of the mean l notions which at some time takes possession of all of us, and that is as to the brevity of human life. When 1 bury some very useful man. clerical or lay, in his thirtieth or iortieth year, I say, “What a. waste of energies!

Getting his strength from God, 'he starts from home with high purpose. of doing all the good he can possibly do in one day. Whether standing behind the counter, or talking in the business “flies with a pen behind‘his ear, or makinza bargain with a fellow-trader. or out in the fields discussing with his next neighbor the wisest rotation of crops, or in the. shoemaker’s shop pound- in;r the sole-leather, there is something in his face. and in his phraseology, and in his manner that demonstrates the grace of God in his heart. _ Ho: can trill; on religion with- out ztwkwartliy dragging it in by the ears.

Another young man 18 who heard that jolly scepticism made up his mind that “ it makes no difference what we do or say. for we will all come out at last at the right place," and began, as a consequence, to purloin.

I do not v propose with a searchlight to show the breakers of the awful coast on which that a ship is wrecked, for my business now is to watch the sea axrer the keel has plowed it. No phosphorescence in the wake of that ship, but behind it two souls struggling in the waves; two young men destroyed by , reckless scepticism, an unilluminedocean be- neuth, and on all sides of them. Blackness and darkness. You know what a gloriously good man Rev. John Newton was, the most of his life, but before his conversion he was a very wicked sailor and on board the ship “Harwieh.” instilled Infidelity and vice in the mind of a youngman’s principles which destroyed him. Afterward the two met and Newton tried to undo his had work, but in vain. The young man became Iworse and worse, and died a profligate, horrifying with his profanities those who stood by him in his last moments.
