MAUt.KES NATIVE CUSTOMS,
(Sfwfnl Correii(l(nc.)
AitDEN Arabia. By tlio navigator,
on a long tour around tho world, no
scenes are encountered more barren
and denolato than are met with on a
crulsn through tho Red Sea. From
tho first- Egyptian port to this re
nowned' Arabian colony in tho south,
Iboro is presented a succession of
visions, dreary, HfelesB and gloom in
spiring, The grim headlands of Egypt
and Akabah, tho jagged crests' of
Nubia and Arabia, tlio white sand
dunes aud tho coral i-eofs along the
eoait, and tho endless array of joyless j
islands, form a world of ntter ilesola-'
latlon. iNot a vestige of vegetation,
not a show of life is seen anywhere,
n spun oi gioom ana ueatu seems
broodintr over the land.
i Abovo all these scenes of desolation
'is spread a cleat sky, offering no ob
struction to trio Darning and ponctra'
ting rays of the tropical sun. By day
and night the very atmosphere seems
on dre, and fairly parches every living
tissue, makincr almost intolerable tlio
lifo of all on shipboard, wbo aro fortu
nato if thoy aro enabled to oat or sleep
a titho of their usual allowance. For a
few days our ship was driven beforo a
tair wind, in which all her tails woro
spread, for unlike a merchant-steamer
our war vessel was required to depend
upon her sailing qualities whenever
practicable. When near the centre of
the seaa dead calm set in, while tho
canvas fluttered and hunt? in shrouds.
For tho rest of tho way wo encountered
strong Head-winds, against which we
steamed as in the face of a hot furnace
blast.
In its grcatost width tho Red Sea is
two hundred miles broad, and tho ex
treme length from tho Straits to Suez.
including tho gulf in the north, is four-
teen hundred miles, requiring five days
for a steamship to makn tho run to
Aden. Its waters are beautiful, wheth
er seen by tho light of the sun or of
tho moon, a those bodies appear to
inane tneir ingtit, trom AraLia toward
iigypt. Unhampered with tho re
straints and necessities of other vessels,
uiir cruiser, unuer government orders
to carry tho stars and stripes into as
many foreign ports as possible, made
.1.1 t u idDiii-jjr uuwn WJU Bfla, I1UW
oil tho one side and now on tho othir,
grating a view hero and a glimpso
there" of tho desert and rocks. of treeless
and lieless nature, and of tho barren
islands with which tho borders are
studded.
At tho port of Jidda on the Arabian
shore, midway down the sea, were the
first signs of activity, save that of pass
ing Bteamers, along tho route. This is
tho approach by water to Mecca, the
shrino of tho faithful, which lies a
few miles inland, whither thousands of
pilgrims aro constantly journeying
from all parts of the Mohammedan
world. The town stands on air orai,
nence, and am'd its dirty and forlorn
surroundings is without any special
interest. It will bo remembered as the
place in which occurcd tho massacre of
Christian residents a generation ago,
and which was subsequently bombard
ed by tho Enclish trun-boats. from
which it has not vet lecovered. It
claims to contain tho tomb of Mother
Eve, whoso last restiutr nlaco is still
guarded with religious care. Uuhappl
ly for us, wo were not permitted to
pour out our tears at tho grave of our
esteemed ancestress, who in lifo wo
never even bad tho joy of meeting.
Farther in the south, whero the
shores begin to approach each other,
wo came to Mocha, another miserable
aud desolate town which was once an
important centre in the coffeo trade.
ino traveller wonders how- anvthuii:
can bo grown on these barren rocks ol
Arabia, but let mm remember that the
coffee comes from tho interior of the
country where somo fertility and in
dustry abound. Tho trad .- of Mocha.
however, lias been gradually passing
away, and is now centered at Aden.
What particular Junctions Mocha and
the various ports of tho Red Sea per
form in tho economy of tho world I
cannot pretend to sav. Thev are
neither ornamental nor uBciul in our
wayof looking at things, and as for
possibilities of becoming anything
else they might as well have been lo
catod on tho hidden side of the moon.
At its lowor extrcmoty the Sea is
narrowed to a strait that all students
of geography will recognize as Babel
Mandeb, but whether deriving its name
from tho tour which was never .com
pleted I do not know. It is sometimes
called tho Gato of Tears, because of the
swift current and hidden rocks which
aro supposed jto make navigation
dangerous. Tho wrecks of some un
fortunate ships, strandsd upon tho reefs,
tell silent stories of the dangerous ways.
Tho channel is about twenty miles
wide, and is Hanked on cither side by
iotly mountains, whose gray walls
beetling in tho uir riso a thousand feet
above the waters. Perched upon the
rocks at intervals aro seen the forts of
several rival nations, with their colors
(looting almost iu sight of each ot her.
Hero aro tho flags of Turkey, Italy,
Franco and England , proclaiming na
tional sovereignty.
In the lowor part of the strait, a
short distance from tho shore, ia the lit
tie island of Perim, that is really the
koy to the situation. It is of volcanio
otigip, with an area of seven square
miliH, and lies just above the level of
tho tides. It contains a lighthouse,
and a fow building and barrack for
tho British garrison, by whom alone it
is occupied. It is strongly intrenched,
and its fortifications and batteries on
ablo it to command effectively tho en
trance to tho Red Sea. To llyo up
on this Island is anything but delight
ul, for nothing grovvs upon It, not n
squaro foot of shade is found, mid not
so much as a drop of water anywhero
txlsts.
Beyond tho strait of Babel-Mandeb,
whioh is so well guarded with natural
fortresses and sentineled by Perim
Maud, tho navigator approaches tho
olty of Arden, tho site of whioh is
markod by a solitary tnouutain that ro
sembles in form the Rook of Gibraltcr.
The blaok and scarred wall-, which
scora to havo been shaped by the (lory
elements, aro lifted moro thau two
thousand feet abovo tho sea, standing
a frowning and defiant gnard over tho
olty at Its base. For a type of perfect
desolation the eoono Is admirable If
it do tne looauon ot the original Eden,
j as somo antiquarians insist and as its
name implies, wo aro forced to bcliovo
that time lias wrought mighty changes
in its surroundings.
Tliu citV tinnnot bo seen from llm
harbor. Along the terrace at tho foot
ot ino mountain nro rows of rod-tilled
and white-walled buildings and ware
houses, tho first signs of habitation.
This is tho landing place for boats, and
is called Steamer Point, where most of
tho business of tho port is transacted.
Hero aro assembled tho tradesmen from
many lands, n few Europeans, a largo
nufiiber of tho' original type, and many
other Arabian and African merchants.
As soon as a vessel comes to anohor
in the harbor it is snrroundod by scores
of baits, manned by dusky and naked
boatmen, who offer for salo numerous
articles of nativo manufacture. A
fund of amusement is furnished by tho
small boys, in a state of perfect nudity,
who paddlo about in littlfl dug-out
canoes. They ore expert Jn swimming
and diving, and expect you to throw a
few pennies in tho water. They un
derstand perfectly every move on deok.
There is a scramble among them the !
very moment you take tho money in
your fingois. With a splash, that fair
ly upsets their boats, a dozon boys
disappear under tho water, and never
fail to catch tho money beforo it reaoh

Of tho strango people that aro met
with here, perhaps tho most startling
are the Somaulees. Tbey aro not na
tives of Ardun, but simply truders who
oome from tho province of Somauleo
ontho opposite shore of Africa. In
color and feature's they aro negroes.
Their heads aro covered with long
frowzy red hair, that is mado rigid
with a pasto of clay and stands on end,
giving them a frightful and uncanny
appearance. Their attention is dovote'd
to.thi'ir hair rather than the .person.
They wear no clothes to speak of, thoir
lithe, sinewy forms being displayed to
good advantage.
Aden is situated in tbo crater of an
extinct volcano, several miles in cir

cisterns of immense sizetand capacity;
from which tho city was formerly sup
plied with water in tho dry season,
sometimes lasting several years. They
wore built centuries ago, and bavo long
been indistise. There aro various public
squares in tho central part of the city
where tho caravans from the desert,
with camels and merchandise, are
usually encamped. The streets aro
narrow and dirty, lined with dingy
shops and native huts. It is an un
healthy and inhoBpitablo place, intense

A Hundred Tons of money
It hardly seems possiblo that tho
money paid in one month for a ten
cent article, could, if pennies were used
in payment, weigh one hundred tons.
Yet ono of our bright school boys has
figured that this is true of Diamond
Dyes. To iudgo from tbo. stock of our
dealers in dye stuffs, Diamond Dyes
own tho field of pickage dyes, and are
complete success. Uf courso thov
havo imitators. "Nothing is a success
until imitated." But no ono wants to
risk a counterfeit wheo tho genuine
can bo obtained at the same price.
I'hreo now color-) havo lately been ad
ded to the list of Diamond Dyes: Fast
Stocking blaok, Turkey Red for Cotton,
and Brown for Cotton. Tho manu
facturers, Wells, Richardson' fc Co..
Burlington, Vt., will send.colored sam
ples of these now dyes, with book of
lirectious, to anv address, frco of
charge. Thtso additions seem to hjjve
mada tho lino so complete that any
shade can be matched with some color
of Diamond Dyes. The beautiful
sample book of shaded colors, lately
sent to all dealers in dyes, wid delight
the eye of any lady. "It's eaiy to dye
with Diamond l)yes," is so absolutely
true that homo dveiutr is no lonorer a
difficult and disagreeable task. Alma
nacs, with their hints as to propjr times
for difforeut times for different work,
tell us that now is the timo for Spring
dicing. This, together with the
thought of that hundred tons of money,
loads us to a9k,what school bov can
figure how many thousand of ladies
aro now saying that this is tho timo to
uno Diamond Dyes.

Sunday School Convention.
Tho tonth Sun-Jay School Conven
tion of FiBhlngcri'Ck iownshlp was
held id tho St. Jamo) Reformed obtiroh
March 9th, at ten A. M. Devotional
service, conducted by tho president
Mr. John Sutton.
Address of woloomo by Mr, Jacob
lieishllno. Kesnonsn by Hov. A
Hontz, followed by Mr. SuttOD. Tho
delegates -wero tben enrolled, after
which tho following committees were
appointed:
Rcportorial committee, Anna Mo
Henry, Oscar Hess.
Committee on nominations and re
solutions, David YoBt, Daniel Mo
Henry, Cyrus Robbins.
Tho different subjects on tho pro
gramme were then ably disotissed by
llovs. A Ilontz, J. W. MoNamara, and
I. Edwards, John Sutton, D. Mo
Henry and Ell Robbine.
The first subject for discussion was,
"Tbo advantages of the Sunday
School to the community." Tho
ohildren derive great Lenofit from it
Many parents cannot, for the pressure
of other duties, giro the instruction
they would desires here tho Sunday
School steps in and assists them.
The Sanday School takes the place
of that which' ought to bo in the home,
namely, tbii ability to instruct the
young. Inasmuch as all parents have
not this ability, it is an absoluto neces-
sity to have n Sunday School. And
those parents who can, should have
tho ohildren proparC tho lesson at
home, so that they may answer intel
ligently any question asked on tho les
son. If it wero not for tho Sunday
School many children would receive
no religious 'natruction. The mind
of tho human being is a wondering
thing and will lay hold on something,
and if tho children aro not in the Sun
day School tbey will be in places and
company that will bo degrading.
Discussion, "Tho real objects in
Sunday School teaching." Ono oh
joct it to becoruo familiar with the
Scripture.
What is taught in the Scripture will
make them better men and women, for
they will learn nothing thero but what
is exalting and ennobling. In the
Sunday Sohool we learn to love God
'ami our Saviour, and if wo love him
we will desire to seivo him.
We want also to assimilate tho
children to havo their characters blend
ed, so that in after years they may
feel an attachment to eaoh other. The
recollections of tho scenes enacted (in
the Sunday School, and even tho face
of tho tcaoher, remain with us and aro
just eo vivid in our memory when we
are old, as ia tho days of our youth.
There is one object covering all other
objects. It is not merely to gather
tho children together and teach them,
even the Bible, but to bring them to
Christ. This is the real object, it has been
tried by all denominations and they
have found that no churoh can prosper
without a Sunday Sohool, and whero
there is a good Sanday School you
will generally find a prosperous con
gregation. After singing "Nearer My God to
Thee" the convention adjourned to
meet at 2 p. m.
Tho afternoon session was opened
at the appointed time, by devotional
service conducted by Rev. J. W. Mo
Namara, followed by enrollment of
delegates, after whioh the following
subjects were discussed:
"Who are responsible for the failure
of. tho Sunday Schools? All are re
sponsible who are connected with it.
Tho superintendent should bo punct
ual, not easily discouraged, and the
Sunday Sohool should not bo suspend
ed on account of other gatherings.
The teacher should strive to pre
pare tho lesson, so as to interest the
pupils. Should illustrate the les-ion
from nature if possible, so 'as to be
within tho comprehension of all. The
teacher should also visit and look alter
the absent ones, and in case the teach
er must bo absent ho should secure a
substitute. Parents should teach the
children to roverenco the Sunday
School and tho teaoher, and also see
that they attend promptly, and punct
ually jhavingjireviously prepared the
lesson at home. If these duties arc
all faithfully discharged the Sunday
School will bo a grand success.
Discussion, "Ihe neoessitv of edu
eating our schools on the subject ol
Missions.' The spirit of Missions is
the spirit of Christ. Ho was the fi st
Missionary, and wo read "If any man
havo not the spirit of Christ hois none
of Ills.'' If wo want persons to be
interested in Missions, wo mnst begin
in tbo buiinay bebool. Wo should
leacb benevolence as we do temper
mice.
Discussion, "Is not tho difference in
tho support and nltontion of Sundav
Schools and dav schools too croat to
bo justifiable?"
We c:i scarcely separate tho two,
for without tho day school, our child
ren would scarcely be able to read and
study tho Word of God; and all true
Christians earnestly desiro their child
ren to be well informed in tho Bible.
As tho religious training is paramount
to tho secular education, so tho support
and attention of tho Sunday School
should be greater than that of tho 60
oular schools,
Discussion: Ought the Superintend
ent teaoh a class?"
That wo'uld depend altogether on
tho bizo of the school. If tho school is
notlaige, he might, if well posted,
take charge of tho Biblo class.
Ho should noto tho maimer in which
tho lessons aro taught by the different
teachers, to see that what the pupils

A Hew System of Steam Heating adopted
on the Pennsylvania Ballroad
After two years of triaU and expert,
mcnts the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has adopted a system for
heating tho passenger cars by steam,
which experts declare to be1 the best,
safest, and surest mode of heating yet
devised.
Tho Philadelphia Times of March
14th thus describes It: ' ,
"Tho system is what is knoirn as
the condensation system. Two
straight Iron pipes, two inches In di
nmoler, ate placed under lhe floor of
tho car and aro connected by cross
pipes in the center. A small pump is
fastened to ono corner of tlio 16'ndor
and connected with the boiler by a
pipe. Tho steam passes through tho
pump, enters ono pipo a'ld parses
through it to tho centre of tho car.
Hero it goes up through a valve and
branches off into two iron nines.
Theao pipes extend across the width of
the car and are joiued to two long
wroaght-iron tabes running length
wise of tho car. From these project a
short spur pipe under each seat. The
steam goes through these pipes, passes
up through tho radiators in oaoh end
of tbo car and is then drawn down
through a oast-Iron pipe baok to the
centre of the car, where it passes
through a valve and enters the return
P'PL ... ...
"The little pump on the tender is
constantly at work' and creates a vac
uum which draws back to tho pump tho
oondensed water. In addition to this
the exhaust from tho pump aud the air
brako aro both directed into tbo tank.
The valvo in tho centre of tho car is so
arranged that when the temperature is
l-.Uli enough, by turning a small cook
under tho centre seat tho supply of
steam is shut off from that car aud it
rushes through the pipe to tho next
one. In this manner one car can be
without heat while the thermometer
climb-) up in the nineties in tho
others. Or in tho same manner ono
side of the car can bo heated to a
higher temperature than the other, if
necessary. W hen the steam reaches
the cent! c of the last car it goes up
through the valve, eaters the neating
pipes and radiators and tben is caught
by the vacuum and drawn back to its
starting place.
(1001) VENTILATION AVFOnilKD.
"No. steam escapes in any 'place' and
tho pipes from the rear of tbo centre
of the last car have no' steam in them,
while the car itself is well warmed by
the pipes on the inside. By this
moans no dripping occurs and tho 1 va
cuum is -so strong that the steam pipes
are entirely tree trom water and in tho
event of a wrecks aud, the pipes were
Droken tbo vacuum la so powerful1 that
it would suck the air in instead of1 al
lowing the steam to escape. In mak
ing np a train of cars the big pipes
under tho car1 floor are connected by
means of a slip grip and about a' foot
of strong rubber hose. Underneath
eaoh seat is a hole two inches wide
bored through tho floor bf the1 car In
such a manner that when the cold air
rushes 'in it strikes tlio hbt'tlroh pipes
on tho inside and becomes' heated.
"This arrangement keeps a constant
current of warm fresh air in tho cars
at all. limcs.'JJand the vacuum in the
pipes draws what littlo water there ia
in the pipes, so that when tbo cars aro
uncoupled thcro is not a drop of water
to fall ou tho road-bed or station floor.
It requires but little' steam to run tho
pump, and on yesterday's run' frofn
Philadelphia to New York, with a
train of twelve cars, but five pounds of
steam pressure was used. This was
sufficient to creato a vacuum1 in tlielrc-
turn pipe, averaging1 fourteen inches.
In the supply steam pipo it averaged
six inches, and oa the .engine nineteen
inches o- nino and one-half pounds.
Tho average temperature during the
run was eoventy-hvo degrees.
EXPERIMENTS WITH TIIK TEMPERATURE.
'Several 'experiments were made to
find out how hich tho temperature
could bo raised. In somo of the cars
tho mercury registered ninety' decrees'
and in others when tho Bteam was shut
off it dropped twenty and thirty do
greeB. As tho train wont rushing
along tho wind came through the 'aper
tures in the floor and purified what
would have otherwise have beeu a
close atmosphere. Tho iron pipes aro
covered with thin wooden sheathinirs.
and the passenger who is troubled
with cold feet can warm his ' toes as
well as if ho had them wrapped up in
hot-waler bottles. Tho now nyatem
works to perfection, and not a hitch or
break has occurred to mar the nerfeot
success of tho syntora."
By this method of heating every de
sirable poiut is gained. A auflicient
amount of heat can always be secured,
and it can be regulated to any desired
temperature. Tht re is no hot water In
tho pipes to solid or burn in case of
accident, and an ample Bupply of pure
fresh air ie supplied througu the aper
tures for ventilation.
On tho introduction of this Perfect
system of heating, the car stove with
an us ternblo possibilities will bo for
over discarded. Tbo oil lamp has al
ready given way to the electric light,
and with the abandonment of thif
Btove, the last objectionable feature in
railway travel will be happily gotten
rid of, No ovent in tho history of
railroading will servo to stimulate
travel so greatly.
It is oxpected that all or tho "dob.
songer cars of the Pennsylvania Rail
road will bo fitted wih this applianco
beforo another winter.
