The I5i??et Eartrifinakes,
In 3Co .V. 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.

Tbe Mocking DirJa of Yosemite.
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

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

guarantee on it, use accordlnely, and if it
does you no good it will cost you notblnjr.
