Oneoftho most interesting lakes or inland seas in tbe world is the Dead sea; \v’ '!i has no visible outlet. It is not mere fancy .that has clothed tho Dead sea in gloom, Tbo desolate shores, with scarcely a green thing in sight, and scat tered over with black stones and ragged driftwood, form a fitting frame for tho dark, sluggish waters, covered with a perpetual mist,, tujd. breaking in .slow, heavy, sepulchral toned waves upon the beaoh. It seems aA if the smoke of the wicked cities was yet ascending up to heaven, and as if the moan of their fear ful sorrow would never leave that God smitten volley. It is a strange thing to see those waves, not dancing along and sparkling in tho sun, as other waves do, but moving with measured melancholy, and sending to the ear, as they break languidly upon the rock, only dolfful sounds. This is, no doubt, owing to tho S ;at heaviness of tho water, a fact well own and which we amply verified in tho usual way, for, on attempting to swim, wo went floating about like empty casks. * This experiment was more satisfactory in its progress than in its results, which were a very unctuous skin and a most pestiferous stinging of every nerve, as if wo had been beaten with nettles. Nor was tbe water we took into our mouth a whit less vile than the most nauseous drugs of the apothecary. That fish can not live in this strong solution of bitumen and salt is too obvious to need proof; but to say that birds cannot fly over it and live is ono of tbo exaggerations of travelers, who perhaps .were not, liko ourselves, so fortunate as to seo a flock of ducks reposing on the water in appar- Ihealtl ‘ 1th. And yet this was all the'life wo did seo. The whole valley was ono seething caldron, under more than a tropical sun.—Missionary Herald. A Cotta Bican Delicacy. Aside from the scant rations he tho Vuloro’s food consists mainly of wi hogs, or such other animals os ho may ho able to kill, eked out by tortillas, and as on occasional luxury a dish of red beans'stowed in fat. Monkeys aro con sidered the choicest of morceaux, par ticularly the large red species, which are as highly relished by the hunters as are raccoons by southern darkies or Thanks giving turkeys by New Englanders. < In deed, in many ports of Spanish America monkey meat is eaten by both natives and foreigners, whoso gastronomic tastes aro harder to pleaso than tlioso of the hungry Yularocs. I can, myself, testify to tho fact that a well broiled slice of young ape, though a trifle tough and strong, is not more unpalotablo than bear steak or buffalo meat, which it greatly resembles. If ono could over come tho cannibalistic ideas engendered by Darwinian nonsense, and not feel as if feeding upon black baby, monkey flesh would be decidedly preferable to pork as an article of diet.—Car.

It is a copy of Dante’s “Divina Commedia," struck eft tram the smallest type ever cast Tiro sheets of paper, cut into sixteen parts, were enough to contain tho whole . 14*228 verses. The leaves measure two inches in 'length by one and a half in width. Tbo typo was cast in 1850, but tbe compositors and proofreaders em ployed on the work repeatedly abandoned it, On account of the eye strain, and it wm not completed until 1875, The type was too small to “distribute," mid so, after using, it was- melted and hast over again. Another interesting volume is “The Indian Bible, Translated by the Apostle John Eliot.". It was printed in 1868 at Cambridge, in Matlck dialect, a portion of the type being set by “praying Indians.” A book dated 1678, by Latin John, the famous negro scholar and poet, is so raro that the British museum has no copy of it. Juan Latino—as his name properly was—is celebrated as one of the most learned men of the Sixteenth century. He was professor of Greek and Latin in tho cathedral School of Grenada, an accomplished swordsman, a beau, a ,wit and musician—in short, a sort of Admiral Crichton ii» burnt cork, as it wore. He fell in love with one of the beauties of Grenada, and they were mar ried by the bishop of the cathedral, Don John of Austria acting as best mart.— Rene Baclie in New Orleans Picayune. * *•' »T ■ e POPULATION. 1884... ./ 3,600 1888 10,000 1892 20,000 Valuation of Property’s 1884.. ........ — .$1,438,677.38 1888.. .. 2,672,113.00 1892.. ..; 6,000,000.00 —— V ■ < ■ fpi •.
