A FUNNY MIsTAKE.-The Chicago
Tribune gives an amusing account of
the adventures of an amiable old gen
tleman from the rural districts, who
had been wavering between ortho-
doxy and heterodoxy for some time.
He came into the city to hear Robert
Collyer preach. 1t was his first Wis
it to Chicago. Stepping into North
Clark street horse car, he rode out as
far as Turner Hall, where many of
the passengers alighted, and he per-
ceived a crowd of people, and inquir-
ed of the conductor if that was Rob
ert Collyer's church. The conductor,
amused at the simplicity of the ques-
ton, promptly answered in the afr,
native, and our curious inquirer pass
ed into the hall. He saw a vast crowd
of men and women sitting at small ia.
bles, drinking beer. This rather
staggered him for a moment, but be
reflected that they were possibly re
ceiving the communion. So he sal
down at table and looked around
him. Presently a young man with q
white apron came up and asked if he
had ordered. No. he replied he was
not exactly a member Of the society
but he came to hear Mr.. Collyer.-
The youth with the white apron star
ed and passed on. Very soon a mum
ber of gentlemen stepped on the plat
form, with trombones, and fddles
and cornets, and began to play. These
Unitarians have queer way Of wor

He thought it would come out all righ
when Collyer came on. But after th,

after long interval there was music
and by-and-bye man dressed in tight

THE WONDERFUL LAND INSIDE-AN EN-
TERTAINING GLIMPSE.
China is the type of permanence in
the world. To say that it is older
than any other existing nation is say
ing very little. Herodotus, who has
been called the father of history, trav-
eled in Egypt about $50 B. G. He
studied its monuments, bearing the
names of kings who were as distant
from his time as he is from ours
monuments which even then belonged
to a gray antiquity. But the kings
who erected those monuments were
posterior to the founders of the Chin
ese empire. Porcelain vessels, with
Chinese notices On them, have been
found in those ancient tombs, in shape,
mater rial, and appearance precisely
like those which are made in China
to-day and Roseline believes them to
have been imported from China by
kings contemporary with Moses or be-
fore him. This nation and its insti-
tutions have outlasted everything.
The ancient Bactrian and Assyrian
kingdoms, the Persian monarchy
Greece and Rome, have all risen, flour
ished and fallen-and China continues
still the same. The dynasty has been
occasionally changed; but the laws
customs, institutions, all that makes
national life, have continued. The
authentic history of China commences
some 5000 years before Christ and &
thousand years in this history is Hk,
a century in that of any other people
The oral language of China has con
tinued the same that it is now for thir
ty centuries. The great wall bound
ing the empire on the north, which il
1,240 miles long, and twenty fee
high, with towers every few hundred
yards-which crosses mountain ridg
es, descends into valleys, and is car
ried over ridges and arches-wa

bly, to repel those fierce tribes who

The Rev. George Griscom, d. d.,
of London, recently delivered lee
ture on sunlight, in which he demon
strated how carbonic acid gas is de-
leterious to human life by exhaling
into bottle the air from his lungs,
and then placing a light therein, which
was at once extinguished. The life
of living insect, the doctor said,
void have been extinguished as quick
ly. The oxygen which is necessary
to life is derived from plants through
the operation of the suns rays-the
yellow ray-and the Vegetables in re-
turn absorb and poisonous carbon ex-
hailed from the human lungs. Both
these operations take place only in
the suns rays, hence the improperly
of sleeping with plants in your rooms.
With man the suns rays play part
very important. Under their opera
ton continual change is taking place
in the human system constant chem
ical process is in operation. The ac-
ton of death is mere chemical oper-
alton, produced by the lncapacity of
the system to inhale the necessary
oxygen, and exhale the poisonous car
bon of the system. To preserve this
condition in life, and healthy system,

TREASURE TRovE-In 1902 the English
attacked feet of Spanish galleons near
Vigo, when seven of them were sunk and
nine burnt. The galleons contained the
tribute of the Spanish colonies for the years
1700-1, amounting, it is stated, to $50, ,O00,-
600. The greater part of this enormous
sum is presumed to be still at the bottom
of the sea, and French society has been
formed for the purpose of recovering the
lost treasure. Operations have already be-
gun, and the divers have hit upon ten OF
the galleons. They are thickly encrusted
with marine growth, yet the chief engineer
proposes to raise them up to the surface o.
the water. Several curious articles, oxyd
lied armor and weapons, a silver vase, and
numerous cannon balls, have been found
by the divers on the decks of the vessels.
The Spanish government has stipulated
that 43 per cent, of the recovered treasure
must be paid into its treasury.

THE MAMERTINE PRIsoN.-This pris-
on was built under Ancus Martius,
and described by Varro. The cham
Der still existing is covered with rec
tangular slabs of volcanic stone called
reddish tuffo: its form is that of
trapezium, twenty-tour feet long, Ell ght-
teen wide, and thirteen high. To-
wards the northwest are traces of
window which shed here its feeble
light. No trace of an ancient door
being visible, it is coniectured that
criminals were lowered into the pris-
on through the aperture covered with
an iron grating. The eastern front
is well preserved, and on blocks of
trayertine are the names of the con-
suIs Ru6nus and Neva, who restored
it. From the steps leading to the
prison. named "Scal9 Gemonia," the
bodies of those put to death in the
prison were dragged through the Fo-
rum and thrown into the Tiber from
the Sublician bridge. These execu-
tions took place in the interior of Tul-
lian prison, thus named from Servius
Tullius. 1t was cut in the rock,
about twelve feet under the level of
ancient Rome. From the pages of
history we learn that many celebrated
persons Of antiquity died in this pris-
on; Jugurtha, of starvation, Lentu-
lus, Cethegus, Statilius, Gabinius, and
other accomplices of Catiline, by
strangulation. The apostles st. Pc
ter and St. Paul, tradition says, were
confined here, and spring of water
said to have been used at the baptism
of Processus and Martinian the keep
ers of the prison, who afterwards suff-
cred martyrdom, is visible, and may
be seen at the present day.

POETRY IN UNDRESs.-An English
paper which rejoices in the name OF
Ladies Own, thus plays tricks with
rhyme and reason: 1t is many years
since | fell in love with Jane Jerusha
Skeggs, the handsomcst country girl

so often did we walk, and the moon
light smiled on her melting lips, and
the night winds learned our talk
Jane JeruSha was all to me, for my
heart was young and true, and | low
ed with a double twisted love, and a
love that was honest too. | roamed
all over the neighbOrS' farms, and |
robbed the wild wood bowers and
tore my trousers and scratched my
hands in search of choicest flowers
In my joyous love | brought these to
my JeruSha Jane; but wouldn't be so
foolish now, if | were boy again.
A city chap then came along, all
dressed up in fine clothes, with shi.
ny hat and a shiny vest, and a nous.
tache under his nose. He talked tc
her of singing schools, (for her father

to win her back to me, but it was al
in vain; the city chap with the hairy
lip married Jeru8ha Jane. And my
poor heart was sick and sore unit
the thought struck me that just al

In Morocco, fat women are es-
teemed beautiful, and girls are accord
ingly regularly fattened for the impe-
rial harem. They take plump dam
sci, of thirteen or fourteen, and shut
her up in a room, the windows OF
which are darkened with curtains OF
green silk. She is kept there with
out exercise, and regularly crammed
with concoussOn, or moistened meal
rolled into balls. If she objects to
swallowing as much as is thought de.
sirable, she is soundly beaten to give
her an appetite.

to be the deepest in the world, going
down 800 feet. One at st. Louis,

stated, of more than 1000. But in
China these walls are found in tens of
thousands, snnk at very remote periods

time has recentlr been adopted instead
of our own. as being much more simple

Empire in Chinese junks, saw little
box containing q magnetized needle,
called Ting-nan-Tchen, or "needle
which points to the SOUTH" They also
noticed terrible machines used by the
armies in China. called Hopao or fire
guns, which produced noise like
thunder and projected stones and pie
ces of iron with irresistible force.
Father Hue, in his christianity in
China" says that the Europeans who
penetrated into China were no less
struck with the libraries of the Chi,
nese than their artillery. They were
astonished at the sight OF the elegant
books printed rapidly upon plant,
silky paper by means of wooden
blocks. The first edition of the clas-
sical works printed in China, appear
ed in 95S, five hundred years b. fore
the invention of Gu!tenburg. The
missionaries had. doubtless, often been
busted in their converts with the la
borious works of copying manuscript
books, and the simple Chinese meth
cd of printing must have particularly
attracted their attention. Many other
marvellous productions were noticed,
such as silk. porcelain, playing cards,
spectacles, and other products of ART
and industry unknown to Europe.
They brought back the new ideas
to Europe; "and from that time, says
Abel Remusat, "the West began to

civilized of all the four quarters of
the world. The arts, the religious
faith. and the languages of its people
were studied, and it was even propos-
ed to establish professorship for the
Tartar language in the University of
Paris. The world seems to open to-
wards the East; geography made i'm
mense strides, and ardor for discov-
cry opened a new vent for the adven-
turous spirit of the Europeans. As
our own hemisphere became better
known, the idea of another ceased to
