“(i.ioil night, Ha ; don’t keep Will
iip u»> lorg, or he won’t be able to lilt
a haystack to-morrow.”
It w-s my wife who spoke My
main Ual and I were sett lug down lo
, i nifi rtable smoke, in ray den, and
ner warning vo oe fell on unheeding
ns. Hal, a big broi za athlete, with
r.,y lia r round a youngish face was
pan ling a abort holiday at my place
n the countiy, and this night was
itdly to he tno last, ha and I
mult, have to oat selves, lor already
bn golden leaves had fluttered down
rum the treei, and on the morrow
i sts wnuid lilt the coverts with the
j-mt.e of smooth-bores and waae the
emioes in the old housa with their mer
riiuect. Hal had only just returned
from Khuuerly, free from the troubles
f impecumosity lor the rest of his
natural life, but not, I thought, so
right and cheery us should have been.
The smile X used to know so well in
those hootst blue eyes was never in
tnetn now, save for courtesy’s sake. Ho
prepared to elicit from him, if possi
hie, the cause of the change. To my
surprise he cui. me short at once. “No,
o.d fellow, you aren’t to do auy of the
talking to-i.'.gir; that’s my part of the
neat: you pri pi.ro to listen ” And
heii alter a momeut he deliberately
I nls pipr. gjt up sud turned the
■ V in theuoor, and oegati again with:
Will, do 1 1 ink luce a chap to enm-
i t loutcleii No, you needn't answer
i know whuty u would sav; hut for
i that you are wrong—I did almost
mini it one once, and J am going to
it! you ao about it.”
Hal aud I bad been tchooi compan
ions, and though l was his senior by a
ear or two, he had been the hero of
lyscuool days, and had retained his
ill nonce in our alter life.
Together we hail grown up at his
mother’s knee, aud when our rela-
i told us that the utile store our
fat hers had left ua would not ailow
any 1 mger stay at school, aud hinted
that w« had better be up and doing,
ll.i ami i had together elec ed to try
lerksbips in the Indo Kuropean
itraph Hervice. The pay was uot
great, but on the fore ign stations
rs enough to live on; the work
(eight hours out ot every twenty-four)
t« not repulsive in iiself, and the ser-
ie gave us an opportunity of visiting
strange lauds.
Those were pleasant days at Kortch
; spins of our poverty. I thiuk one
.gut do worse than live them again.
Bui, at tne end of two yeacs we had
tired ot them, aud a telegram received
vi.li of December informing me
he death of a relative, which lreed
forever from the service of “do,
and ib-ah,’ 1 was eagerly welcomed,
here was no such luck lor him, but
1 1 ail tuat when l left Kartell he de-
riuiaeii to leave wish me and seek

woke a spirit of defiance to the

while the chorus of ’The Red,

Ped past,
‘ But soon the frost laid its finger on
ur hp» and glued them together with
T bonds. Our mustaches whitened
•i sutfaned, and our eyelashes froze
u our fids, until we were glad to
nestle into cur wraps aud be silent.
“The lights of the town were b* on
out of sigh'; the stars too had disap
peared, and again the ceaseless, silent
snow fell aronnd us.
‘ Away io the west over the low
rolling steppeland by Sebastopol and
onr English dead, among them your
tather and mine, hurled as English of
ficers are best buried, ‘deep with their
men,’ The ruined oity round which
they fought, standing In rains still, its
empty window frames and doorless
passages gezlng blankly over irrzau
sea aud low snow-clad hills is the most
desolate sigh: upon earth. Could it be
that tho dead lying there to-night
wereatpeact? Had they no louring,
as I had to bear ihe happy Chris: mes
bells of borne ring out across the stow?
Full as the earth and wa'er is of life,
crowded with myriad forms of sen
tient beings, it seemed herd to believe
that the nroad expanse above aud
around us was peopled only by tbe
feathery snow lUkes. To me it seemed
that the graveyards of the Crimea had
given up their dead, their voices were
m every wind that sighed, aud befoie
I reached the post Btaiion I had almost
persuaded myself that 1 could distin
guish their forms in the storm. For
nearly three hours we tolled over tnt t
fifteen versts of steppeland. ;Xwire
with a sudden plunge that took our
brea'h away, and sent us rolling from
the In zeti truss that formed onr seat,
we dived lnadiong into drills above
the horses’ wiiherr. With many a
curse and many a caresising word did
the yemschik, by our neip, extricate
his half hurled team, aud at last
through a rift in the whirling ilakeH
we saw the gauut black and while
post that marked the station a which
our journey for the night ended, it
any: mug could hnv« astonished stolid.
Havel, the German Jew who managed
the station, the arrivai of travelers on
such a night would have done it. As
it was, iustead i f that best welcome
which one hopes fir at an inn, we were
near being turned away Had he
something good for supper? ‘Nnehe-
ve’ (nothing). Something wirrn to
drink? ‘Nitchevo.’ Was ihere piemy
of gauit? S iU ‘Nitchevo,’ and solo
every question until you might fancy
•Nitchevo’ was tho only word iu the
Russian language, as thanks to Us
many varb us meanings it almost
might be. Tuat was a dreary night we
passed at Sutiauovika. The bit er cold
seemed to take shape and bizr, and
torture aud grip as with the personal
malice of a living foe. Tho wooden
bedsteads groaned aud thawel slowly
as we lay upon them, until great beads
of moisture stood at every crevice in
tha woodwork. Outside, the spin’s of
wind and stoim were abroad to mett
old Christmas ou his way from tile
Irozeti North, with nothing more than
the one dim light of the station, gleam
ing out over the waste, like tne Cy-
cli qis’ eye to watch them.
“It was early dawn when, with
heads soiled by the pain caused by
tho stilling fumes of the charco istove
and by want of rest, we sailed out
with our guns into the icy freshness
ol the new day.
“As tee morning broke, tha wind
went down, and the drift, resetting on
the Hteppe, gave us a clear view all
rRiuuil. From time to time as we came
with noiseless tread into some shel
tered Balkan, a pulf of snow would fly
up into the air, and a form scarcely
,e»s white than its surroundings would
hurry away, serosa the waste, or dye
it with its crimson lileblood
* Here and there we came to tiny
pools wneie, on tho frozen smface,
groups of tea! or duck were sitting
with rulllad plumes, longing lor Hie
liquid element, which seemed for the
nonce to have vanished from the eaith
altogether.
“By noon our game sacks had grown
heavy, and we turned our beaus to
ward home, satisfied that Christmas on
tho stoppeH was a little less cheerless
than Christmas In the town.
“With our reiurn our troubles be

“The traitor wind that, for a while
had sunk to rest now rose like a giant,
refreshed, whirling the fine snow in
powder irom its resting pla.iea, and
blinding tbe eyes that sought the
homeward way.
“Hour af.er hour we plodded on in
tho ever-increasiug darkness of drifted
snow, nothing visible above cr around
save the opaque veil that hid the world
from our eyes.
“Wilder and wilder grew the wind,
catching your light form in his rough
embrace, and whirling you in a stag
gering dance over the snow, I see you
now almost as plainly as I mw yon
thee, in my mind’s eve, at one mo
ment wrapped and buried in your
Pourks, the next shot out from it, a,i
legs and arms, as if it would have been
torn from your shoulders by the wsy-
ward giant.
“ ‘Go home, go home,’ the wind
seemed ever whistling in our ears, but
the bliuding snow mocked the good
advice.
“For you rest seemed near, but such
rest as curdled the blood to think of.
Weakened by waut of sleep, wearied
by heavy toil, the grin of the icy wind
had got hold upon yonr heart, and
that dread drowsiness—sure prem ia,
II yielded to. to the everlasting sleep-
seemed fast growing upon vou, numb
ing yonr energies, and making life ap
pear a boon not half so much to be de
sired as the soft, cold couch iu the
drift at your feet. Twice vour weak
kuees railed, and you sank, how softly,
iuto the snow, Twice I returned aud
dragged you from your self-elected
shroud, supporting and driving you
forward in spite of your supplications
and reproaches
• But my own strength was waning,
my oourage failing, iu the hard and
bitter batUe with the merciless cold.
“There were devilb abroad that day,
Will, in the darkness of the snow
storm.
“Nothing less could have whisper
ed In my ear that your liie was ail that
stood between me and wealth and tree
dom from a life I loathed—your life,
which you yourself prayed me to let
you lay down, as a burden too heavy
for you to bear; your life., which, per
haps, spite of all my efforts, I c-omd
never save, and which might cost me
my own. .
“At last, when I was well mgh
spent, you slid from my grasp, and
afraid to look at you again, 1 et ihe
devil have his sway, and left you. Ihe
tempter had succeeded, sud I, the heir
—I your more ihan brother—lelt you
to the sleep of death, went onward
alone to safety, wealth and (tool that 1
was) I thought to happiness.
“On, on through tho storm I strug-
gieu. The while cur a n had closed
iorever over you, and I dared not look
behind. On, and ou, out still no sign
of the station, and at last the moan of
waves told me the awful truth I had
wandered far from my course.and bow
nothing remained but to lie down and
die. Not side by side with you as i
should have done, not to rest iu mno-
cenoe as you had done, but haunted
and tortured even to my last death
throb by the devil to whom I bad
yielded. Fora time I lav down and
listened to the voices of the waves,
mingled with the cries of some sea
gulls those mariners’ mourners whose
even, undulating ilUbt uo storm seems
ever to disturb. Then I rose aud stag
gered on again. To me no dreamy
death drew near.
I no longer sought to Have nay lila,
uav eould 1 have chosen, I should now
have preferred death bv your side to
escape without you. But it was too
late To loot at you now would have
been vain. 1 neither knew where I n**(-
left veil Dor where the inn l»y. As 1
plodded mechanically forward, stag
gering heavily at every step, I caught
a glimpse o' what seemed to me a dis
tant figure In the snow. Huge and in
distinct, at first I could not make out
its outline, until a sudden rift in the
storm revealed to me two other way-
iarers battling like mysell with the el
ements. Mauiy plunging forward, 1
tried to overtake them, but the more i
struggled the deeper I sank in the
drifts svhich now engulfed me, some
times almost to the waist. Before 1
could reach them the white curiam ot
the storm between us, and was again
aione. From time to time it seemed
to me that I caught sight cf them al
ways Just beyond my reach. Despair
took hold of me. I felt I was going
mad. With aii my strength I tried to
call aloud, but the vind drowned my
voice. I was like one trying to cry
out in a dream, and then I think I
prayed.
“Again the curtain parted for a mo
ment aud I saw my fellow wander6rt;
two weary figures in long gray cloaks
like thus9 the Russian soldiers wear,
ooe of them almost carrying the other
in bis arms But slowly as they seem
ed to toil a ong they were still too fast
inr my most frantic endeavors to over
take them, nor did they ever tarn their
laces toward me. Again and again I
lost sight of them, and than my agony
of mind bordered on insanity. Once
as I followed close behind them they
disappeared so entiiely that, tearing to
lose them altogether, I bent over ihe
spot to find ti-elr tracks, preferring in
feel my way along their fooisieps ra : h-
0 thaii be left utterly without guid
ance in that wilderness. In vain. Be
hind me my own tracks were scored
deep aud plain upon thesuow, bat they
weru the only ones, aud bei 're me all
iay smooth aud unbrekeu. Their foot
steps left no track.
“O me again the figures reeppeared
anu again I followed them, lor how
long wa shall never konw; but it seem
ed to iuh m my agony as if, like tbe
Wandering Jew, centuries rolled by
beneath my weary leet. At iast iha
two paused, one of them bad slipped
from, the other’s grip, aud that oiiier
stood bending over his companion.
With one sup-emaetfort I plunged for
ward until L was aim st iu arm's
ieiigth of them, and theu—the snow
held me.
“H'.nve as I would to lift my ieet,
they .clung to the cruel snow; snow
that ins aad of being light as feathers
or tea foam was now heavy as lead or
the Durden of an unrepeuted crime.
“My lips and my powers of speech
congealed.

riously across the dreary waste it
caught the cloak that shrouded tbe
standing figure’s face, and as it blew
back for oue momeut I recognized my

In mercy the cold wind crept into my
heart and sillied its healing. The fig

and then were blotted out. I thought
I heard the deaih-rattle in my own
throat, saw my own dead face looking
up at me from the snow, still with an
awfui stillness, bat not of peace, set
rather in the frezrn agony of eternal
despair. I staggered forward and
fall
“it seems to me that in those min
utes I really passed through the val
ley ol death, reaiiy sufisred the whole

may be so. At last itie worst seemed
past, ior eveu as I foil, my head in

should have been my sepulchre, but
on vour icy cheek.
“Oh, ot course I knowhow men ol

right, (or some such theory,) and so,

and was with me st'.il as I lined your

“A'rnost as if her dear voice was
speaking in the wild night, I seemed
to hear again the old, o.d story your
mother used to tell us children—ho*
iii that nieht after Inkerman, the
brothers, one sore wounded, and the
other sore spent, had held together
manfully, and through the darkness of

“Nothing seemed strange to me
then. I knew ihai those brothers had
come to me from that sileGt graveyard
at Bebastopol, where both now lie ‘for

from death aud dishonor.

HIE EIEUISI SHOES OF OCk AfiCESIOBS
In the stzncluie cf tbe human foot
there is an application of the bridging
principle nceqnaled in any branch of
mechanism. In tbe foot there is a dou
ble srch, a longitudinal arch and a
transverse arch. Tie hollow portion
between the two extremities of the
arch is filled with soft tissue, and from
the bone of the heel to a bone near the
toe runs a strong ligamentous band.
The bridge of the foot has to sustain
the superinduced weight of the body,
and whatever we carry in our hands,
and is especially so constructed that
weean run, walk, leap and climb as
tbe case may be An artificial bridge
has only to sustain tho weight it is snb-
jecifed to. The parts cf the foot are so
arranged as to allow » little movement
among them, though the aggregrate
movement of the whole foot is com
paratively great. No sensible person
ihioks there is anything ngiv in
a pecteetiy formed foot, yet every at
tein-it made to model a shoe >o the
form of the foot has been met by the
objection that something very inele
gant must be the result. The idea of
inelegance in a boot which fits the foot
properly is nothing after ail, for it is
not so much a matter of fact that rules
as lashion. Fashion is very arbitrary,
indeed, and makes a great change in
our outwanl appearance Coverings to
the foot began with sandals. After
these came shoes left open at tbe toes,
then the wooden shoe of the ninth and
tenln century, followed in the middle
ages, by shoes with long pointed aud
turned up ices, which sometimes turn
er up as high as the knee Eater a shoe
was worn with an exceedingly wide
toe, so very wide that it impeded the
process ol walking Queen Mary re
st no: ed the wearing of ibis shoe by
prooiemaiion The proclama ion ran to
ihe edeet that shoes should not be
worn wider than six inches. So it is
seen that the idea of a beauliful foot
has changed very much. After once
wearing a boot that fits really good we
ook upon ail others with disgust.

HANdlNU (UKDENS OF liABYLOX.
The hanging ga-dens of Babylon,
which are said to have been construct
ed by Nebuwhsdnt zzar to gratify his
wife, Amyitis, a native of Media, who
longed for something to remind her of
her mountain home, consisted of an ar
tificial mountain 400 feet on eaoh side,
rising by successive ternoes to a bight
which overtopped the walls of the oiiy
These terraces were formed of succes
sive piers, the tops of which were cov
ered by tl -g stones slx’eea feet long by
four fee. wide. Upon these ware spread
beds of niatnng, then a thick layer of
bitumen, oovered with sheets cl lead.
This formed a solid foundation, upon
which earth was heaped. Some of the
piles ware hollow, to afford depth for
the roots of large trees. Water was
drawn from the river to irrigate thi-i
mountain of verdure. The height cf
the w-.ils of "Babylon has been va
riously estimated! Herodotus makes
them 337i feet, Pliny tlO'J royal leet,
and Strabo 75 ieet. From the various
estimates we must believe that these
walls had an elevation nearly as great
as the dome of 8t. Paul’s in Houdon
The th ekuess oi the-e walls was tiO
feet, aud on each edge of them some
times rooms were built, facing each
other, aad yet leaving space for a four
horse chariot to turn. These great
walls inclosed an area of above 100
sqaare mileb—nearly five times the
size of London. Mucn of this iccio
sure was occupied by gardens, parks,
paradises and orchards. It was Hara-
eus, the iaHt king of Assyria, probably
grandson of Esarhaddon, who collect
ed his wives aud his treasures In his
palace, and, setting fire to the building
perished iu the flames.

A T.ady's ©pinion.
l\Trs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes;
«Pn. S. B. IIartman N Co.,Columbus,
Ohio: I commenced on the filth bottle of
vour PerpNA this morning, and should
just as soon think of doing without iny
meals as without mv medicine. I
have been doctoring for about four
rears, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when I got one of your books, “ The Ills
of Life." I was in bed at the time. J.
read and re-read your book and felt like
trving your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use In trying anything more.
I was too far gone, and might as Well
make up mv mind to die. I told them
1’ERUNA was the medicine I needed, and
I intended to try a bottle. It proved a suc
cess in breaking the chills, and ii it had
not done one thing more, I would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
I feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
so well, as they all tiiought I was dying
with consumption, and now my own folks
have as much to say for the PEKUNA as
I. I recommend it to everybody I sec.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERCNA. I
gave the one my book to read; told her
to bring it back, as I prized it very high-
]v. The other got the name of the Pb-
itUNA to send to his son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator. My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Ingram’s,
though nothingcompared to being so bad.
There was a lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was a long time before it
looked like opening. The doctor said he
would have to lance it in a few days, but
I thought I would attend to that myself
so I put a little fly bl’sier on it and if
opened; then I put p. poultice on and ther
salve, and kept the salve on ail the time
It got so bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my lelt
breast. Then there were two places on
mv head, one near the temple and one
back of inv ear that was just dreadful.
No tongue can tell what I suffered. My
head felt so strange sometimes. I thought
I was going crazy. Since I have used
the PERUNA (I don’t use the salve any
more) rav sores healed up right away
And oh, what a relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. I feel like letting everybody
know all about it.”
Tohn Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa., writes:
*' Vour Percxa. is a good medicine, and
we sell lots of it. Will you please send
us some more ‘ 1 lls of Life,’ with a few
German.”

WHY SEALSKIN IS EXPENSIVE.
Only Four Seal Crimed, Known do the
World—flow- tbe Animals are Killed.
“Seal fur will never become cheap
er,” said a wholesale dealer on Broad
way to a Mail and Express representa
tive. “They may get higher prioed
though, unless some new seal hunting
places are disoovered in some part of
thiB globe.”
“Why will it never become cheap
er?”
“There are only four fur seal grounds
of any Importance in the world—the
lAlenas of Bt. George and St. Paul in
Behring’s sea, which belong to the ter
ritory of Alaska, and the other two
are the Commander Islands, lying 700
miles west of these in the cztr’s do
minions. The first two islands pro
duce the gieaiesi number of seals.
During ihe mouths of May and June
they come to these islands in flocks of
thousands. Tneu the great Slaughter
takes place to supply the fashionable
world with seaiskm sacques. The
AiastsaSeai Fur Company kill about
1,000.000 seals annually. They pay the
dnuvos forty cents for eaoh seal they
kill and skin. No firearms ate used,
as it wouid drive the animals away and
spoil the island i as a seal resort. Tney
are killed with the single blow of a
club on ihe head. Then the skins are
quickly removed, partially cured a d
prepared for shipment to England,
where they are dressed and dyed.
“It takes a great deal of care aud
work to bring the fur to the rioh and
glossy perfection it shows when wrap
ped area mo the form of a fashionable
lady, F.rst, aii the coarse hairs are
removed and then the fur is dyed the
shade rtqulrtd. But it takes experts
to do this, aud in London only the art
seems to bo well understood. Now,
tbe value of sealskins depends entire
ly npon their successful treatment end
the color and smoothness of n perma
nent nature attained. It takes three of
tne sealskins to make a full size:
oioak. They should last the wearer
seven years without losing their rich
color, and at the same time retain their
perfect appearance. The best cloaks
aie worth ?400 apiece. Tae finest fur
comes from young seals, between the
ages of two and three years When
they get beyond the age of four the
fur becomes stiff somewhat. At six
years of age they are utterly worth
less. Now the great question is how
tong will these seals Li t? and il they
akea notion to desert these four isl
ands where will they gt? The United
States, it is true, has restrict d the
■ ■umber to be killed auuuaiiy a< 1C0,-
OOU, yet st this rate wiii they not tiuauy
boo me extiDoi? Some thiuk they in
crease so fast that this number is
scarcely missed. Weil, that may be
true. But the great danger is that they
may take a notion to emigrate to un-
kuow i part8 of the world. Iu that
csss the sealskin i aequo that flgures so.
prominently as an ar.icle ol dress and
fashion now will become obsolete and
added to the history of the dodos.”
THE I.ANGHAUE USED BY CHRIST.
The language used by Christ was the
Aramaic, the dialect of Nzrtharn Sy
ria. The Israelites were much in con
tact with Aram ran populations, aud
some words from that tongue became
incorporated into the Hebrew at. a very
9ariy date. At the time of Hezekiab,
Aramaic had become the cfticial lan
guage of both Judea aud Assyria; that
is the language Kpokeu at the courts.
After the fail ol Samaria the Hebrew
inhabitants of Northern Israel were
largely carried i.:to captivity, and their
places were fatten b> colonist from Sy
ria, who prooabiy spoke Aramaic aa
their mother tongne. The fall of the
Jewish kingdom hastened the decay of
Hebrew as a spoken language—not
that the captives iorgot their own lan
guage, as is generally assumed, but af
ter the return to Judea the Jews found
themselves, a people few in number,
among a large number of surrounding
populations using the Aramaic tongue.
When the latest books of the Old Tes
tament were written, Hebrew, though
still the language of literature, had
bean supplanted by Aramaic as the
language of common life. From this
time on the former tongne was the ex
clusive property of scholars, and has
no history save that of a merely litera
ry language.

A ship recently arrived in Breton
from Buenoe Ayres bringing 31.390
hides, worth S125 000, from which
cargo when tanned it will be possible
to manufacture $1,000,000 worth of
shoes. Most of tuese shoes go west
to pay tor tne corn and wheat ship
ped to Liverpool, which pays for the
dry goods and manufactured irou
that goes to Buenos Ayres, and there
pays for the hides. Bo it will be seen
that, although in a round-about way,
the hides are in the end paid for by
the export of American cereals.
American shoe manufacturers have
carried the trade to so great perfection
that they find no difficulty in com
peting with England, France and
Germany, and eflorte are now mak
ing to introduce American shoes into
Egypt, Cuba and iu theBouth Amer
ican countries.

he left her at a hotel aud procured a

she retused to have the ceremony

to Stevens : "Come quickly; I am

I hsve been using for a month or
two in my household Swift’s Specific
(S 8 S), the greater portion of it having
oeen consumed by the female portion
of uny family, aud with the happiest
results. It acted like a charm on my
wife, who had been in ba 1 health for a
longtime, and for whom I had paid
hundred- of dollars for doctors and
medicines. It began to buiid her up
from the first dfise. Another female
member ol my family took it with
equa ly satislactcry results. It is cer
tainly the beat tonic for delicate ladies
that I have ever used, and I have tried
them all. I have no douot dial tha

My child, when about oue month
old. was afflicted with a dreadful
breaking ou: on the side of his face.
It troubled us vary much. I took him
to the doctor, who did not think there
was much the matter, but the chiid
continued to grow worse. The little
fellow was suffering so much, and whs
sj fretful taat we bsd no rest night nor
day. We consulted other physicians,
and they did what they could, but
brought no relief to tho little siitl-rer
I tried everythirg at hand or that 1
c 'uiii hear ol, but without tho < esired
effect. About this time I saw an adver
tisement of Swift’s Specific It was
recommeodtd for skin diseases. I pur
chased tour bottles. The first bottle
did him a great a a! of good After
using the third bottle the disease entire
ly disappeared, and the child is now

from Corinth, Miss , says:
“I have seen Swift’s Specifi used as a
wash ior racers and pimpios with tbe
most gratifying results. As a blood
purifier it drives the poison to the sur
face, and when used as a wash it ao
sorbs and dries up the sores I have
seen it used in cases cf blood poison
and skin eruptions,and tnese disappear
in one naif of ihe time that it ordina
