D. the greater part of the Roman world was convulsed by an earthquake, which was followed by tidal waves. For a long time after ward tbe city of Alexandria annually comccemor&ted the fatal day when 50. OuO citizens lost their lives in an inun dation. Two centuries later the Rom an empire again waa shaken, and cred ulity ia staggered by the statement that 20,000 lives were lost. One shrinks from enumerating many of the great earthquakes of history, for to attempt the task is to sap fall of hor rors. In the early history of America the disappearance of whole cities waa not unusual. In 14oC. 00,000 persons were killed in Naples. In 1759 there were destructive shocks in Syria and at Bilbec 10,000 perished. In 1733 G uats emala, with all its riches and 8.000 fam ilies, was swallowed up. In Sicily and Cambria, from 1723 to 17SC. the Tie tlms reached a total of 80,000. China's capital waa destroyed in 1333 and mul titudes were killed in a series of shocks that were distributed through ten years. And so on until the statistics become siccning. The great Lisbon earthquake of 17ol will be remembered as the one in which the good Dr. Johnson refused ta be lieve, although he pinned his faitb to the story of the Cock lane ghost. This shock extended over a 6nrface of the globe four times greater than that of Kurope, destroying the cities of Fer and Me quincz In Jiorocco, with 15.000 pers sons, and affecting tbe coasts of Green land, the Isle of Madeira, and tbe West Indies, nearly 4000 miles away. At Lis bon it was All Saints day, the hour of higb ma?a, ana ail the churches were crowded. There were three shocks, and then the city was in ruins. The earthquake was followed by the horrors of a conflagration. In the Caracas earthquake of 1S12 the people were praying, like those of L!a bon, when desolation came upon them. I; was Thursday of Iloly week, and great number were in the churches. At least 4000 people perished In the downfall of the sacrtd edifices. Oae cathedral only held out. Moorish Hcanty. The Moors have extraorditary ideas concerning female beauty. They farcy an oily skin, teeth projecting beyond the lips, pointed nails an inch long and a figure so corpulent that twoptrsoc3 putting their arms around the waist cou!d scarcely make their fingers toncb. A woman of moderate pretentions to bau'.y needs a slave under each arm to support br aa sha walks, and a per fect belle carries weight enough to load a camel. Mother are so anxious to have their daughters attain this cn wleldiy size that they make them eat a great quantity or millet pudding and drink several tow!a of camel's milk a day. Mungo l'.itk says he has 6een a j poor girl sit crying for more than an h ar with the bowl at ber lips, while bor mother e'.ooi over her with a stick auJ b-it her whenever she perceived tlint she was r.ot swallowing. Tee M cra canrry at a very early a;e and wives ate always purchased. The fuihtr of the girl cannot refusi an offer nult33 there ia soma stain on the young ej in'a character. If a wife doea cot become the mother of a son she may be divorced by the bnsband. The mother of many sons is held in the blghess re spect and ia never suffered to perform any nieui-al office. How Far Can Yon Hear. Some experiments in judging dis tance by Bound were carried out on Sat urday last by one of the Louden bri gades of the Metropolitan volunteers. This branch of military taties is quite a depaitura in volunteering acd one which, if It is to be made of service, will require more than an ordinary amount or practice. It was first ex plained to the men that sound travels at the rate of 1,100 yaida iu thiee sec onds, and oa this basis tbey were to estimate the distance at which some rifles wer6 being discharged ia the dark ness. Tha answers at first were very wide oJ the mark, some of the men ba ing &3 mucb. as 130 yatd9 out ia their cilcuirttion. "With a little practice, however, a great improvement; was fcbown, many of the men gueesicg the distance exactly. I am told, however, that the expvriuienia are not as satis factory a3 was toped, and la though; som lime must elapse before judging distance by sound can be rolled upon wiih any certainty. A Dinner In ralestine. The Jews generally eat their dinner before noon, and their supper after sun down. The cLisf meal of the Jews was in tho evening ; of the Egyptians it wa3 at noon. The early Hebrews sat or squattnd round a low table upon which the meal was served, tnt In later time couches vrere used to recline upon before the tables. Tbe guests were ranged in order of rank side by side, resting upon the left elbow, the right arm beiog free. The dishes, aa they are to thia day, were generally Hews rice, beans, and purgal (cracked wheat, with soupa or sauces. The meala wire so cooked that when served they fell to piecea. Knives and forks were tot used at the tables, but spoons, and gen erally tbin slices of bread were doubled cp and dipped into the soup, and eat ing from the same disb. These pieces of bread also served the purpose of napk'na. Longfellow with Tarlations.

Few of those who have sojourned ever quite a long time In Yosemite val ley are aware that It is filled with myr iads of mocking birds, tbe other sights and sounds overpowering all else, and beside, the birds make their haunts as far as possible from the places where the travelers go. The writer of this was In that wonderful valley and was invited to make one of a quiet party and ride down to tbe Bridal Veil falls. The stream that fell from that sun- lime cliff was tbin and transparent, and looked a little thing from that awful height seen through this natural rift in the trees which made a fitting frame for so grand a picture. Tbe thundering of tbe water int that seething caldron ceased, and we looked to see where it had gone. The wind had swept that floating, misty veil aside and dashed the bright drops against the mighty sides of the mount tain, where It nourished millions of beautiful flowers, and tbe misty veil swayed and swept in a rainbow arch far aside, and silence reigned unbroken for one moment, and then burst forth the song of tbe mocking birds In tbe trees. the bnshes, the air, until the whole forest pulsated in unison with their eong. Millions of brown coated birds there were everywhere, until the whole of our very natures seemed permeated with their music. Sometimes low and sweet, again sad plaintive, and then full, rich and triumphant like a paean of joy and gladness, while we looked at each other in wondering silence. Jnst as it seemed that the melody was un supportably sweet, and that our hearts could not contain more without the re lief of tears or shouts, tbe wind died away and the water again struck with an awsome roar into its rocky hollow with a force that made tbe earth trem ble, and was again lashed to furious foam and the song of the mocking birds hashed. Thus it goes on ever and ever, alternately, and has for ages, the song of the birds and the thunderous reverberation of tbe cataract. Royal Dinners In England Tbe royal dinner parties of England are the most formal and studied in the world. To beginners tbey become a frightful ordeal, and they rarelysat the end can tell what the meal consists of ; to old stagers they are a frightful bore. The novices are expected to arrive ear ly so as to be postad by Sir Henry Ton - sonby ia court etiquette. The qneen usually receives her guests for after noon tea In ber own sitting room, and remains a short time with them chat ting on light subjects ; then they are permitted to wander over tbe castle cr stay iu their rooms till dinner time. which is at 9. Sne says a few words to each guest as she enters tbe dining room, and then leads tbe way to tbe table. It always seems so discourteous for no one to step up and offer the o'd lady bis arm, but it would require an equal in rank to do so, and she enters and leaves the room alone. There is very little conversation at the table. Each guest is asked one question by the qaeeo, and can make one reply. Tbe pauses between are dreadful, and tbe mechanical parceling out of questions and answers makes It seem as if the qneen were putting a Bible class through is catechism. Each one waits for bis turn to come next, and in the embarrassment the "answers" are often of tbe most stupid kind. Xaklng the Sun Work. One of the most notable inventions displayed at the Paris Exhibition was an apparatus for transforming the heat of the sun into motive power for pump ing water and other mechanical uses. It Is the device of a French inventor named Charles Tellier. This apparatus is of great interest as forrhadowing the time when solar heat, in combination with electric transmission of force, will be made te furnish motive power for all engines and take tbe place of coal and steam, a change wich will vastly cbapen manu factures and travel and greatly enhance human comfort tbe world over. The heat which comes to the earth Id the sun's beams is, as has long beta known, the equivalent of one to five or more horse power for every squire yard of the earth's surface, according to tbe latitude and tbe season of the year. Tbe utilization of this waste heat, its conversion into nsable power, has been tbe study of inventors, and much time and great sums of money have been spent upon it. M. Tellier's contri vance alms to accomplish this object. Learn to ForglTe. Learn how to forgive. Da not carry an unforgiving spirit with you through all your life ; it will hurt you more than anything else. It will destroy the happiness of many around you, yet its chief feeding ground will a fouud your own heart. You hate yonr neighbor. Yonder is his dwelling, one hundred and fifty yards away. Yen pass by a wood fire ; yon pluck a half-consumed brand from it, flaming and gleamiDg, and thrusting It under your garment to hide it, you start for your neighbor's dwelling to burn it. Who gets the worst of it f Yon Gnd yonr garments on fire, and your own flesh bnrned be fore yon can harm your neighbor. So is he who carries an unforgiving spirit In his bosom. It stings his o n soul like an adder shut up there. I know of seme who call themselves christians who are miserable because or thier own revengefulness. Forgive yonr enemies and get down on your knees and pray for them, and salvation will come into your own soul like a flood. "Father, forgive them." Sweet prayer and blessed example I Dyapepma and Ll rrr Couipalat. Is It not worth tbe small price cf 75 cents to free yourself of every symptom of these distressing complaints, it yoa think so call at our btore and get a bottle of Sholoh's Vltalizer. Every bottle has a printed guarantee on it, use accordlnely, and if it does you no good it will cost you notblnjr. Sold by Dr. T. J. Davison.
