He'll.

The word "hell," translation of the
Greek word Gehenna, is q term used to
designate the valley of Hinnom. This
valley bounds Jerusalem on the north.
and lies below Mount Zion-a scene OF
sacred and imperishable associations.
In this valley Moloch, the national god
of the Amorites, was worehiped with
the horrid and inhuman rite of sacri-
ficing children in the fire. When
Josiah, in his conquests, overthrow this
idolatry, he poured contempt upon the
Internal practice by casting into the
valley the bones of the departed. In
the estimation of the old Hebrews
the bones of the dead caused
the greatest of all pollutions. What
ever person, place, or things they
touched were forthwith considered
"unclean." Hence this valley Of Hin
nom, this "hell," having been the re-
ceptacle of the human remains which
Josiah threw into it, was considered
place tho most polluted and ac-
cursed. From this circumstance it be-
came a common receptacle for all the
refuse of the city of Jerusalem. Here
large quantities of decomposing veg
etable and animal matter were con-
stantly thrown. This putreseent matter
generated an abundance of worms /; the
worms here never died. To prevent
the noxious efluvia. springing from
this mass of corruption, poisoning the
atmosphere and breathing disease and
death into the heart of the city, fires
were kept burning day and night. This
valley, therefore, was literally place
where "the worm never died, and
where the fire was never quenched. -
Rev. Phelps.

Publicity.

Arthur Helps, in his book on Socia,
Pressure, says good thing which is as
applicable to America as to any spot on
the habitable globe: GA great DANCE,
turks in the love of publicity, which
comes to be a besetting sin, sometimes
even of the greatest minds. and which
leads to falseness, restlessness, and to
most dangerous desire always to stand
we'll with that public, which is sure,
very soon, to be made acquainted with
all that the lover of publicity may say,
or speak, or intend. Publicity is also a
great absorber of that time which might
be much better spent. The desire for
knowing everything about everybody
what he or she thinks, or says, or does,
on any trivial eccasion-occupies now
large part of the time of the civilized
world, and must be great hindrance to
steady thought about mans own con-
Germs, and about those subjects which
ought most deeply to interest mankind.
A stupid kind of gossip becomes the
for the generality of men. I do not
agree with a certain friend of mine who
has told us that the folly of mankind
is a constant quantity but do admit
that this iulsome publicity I have de-
scribed is one of the facts which speaks
most in favor of the view he has been
taking. If publicity could be perfect,
there would be less to be said in its
disparagement. If every one wore his
heart upon his sleeve, we should at
least get rid of falseness, and the world
would know with whom and with what
it was dealing. But studied publicity
is very dangerous. When all people
know what they may say or do is likely
their sayings OF their doings to meet
this appalling publicity. And that
which they deem will not be pleasing to
the public, though it may be the thing
of all others which the public ought to
hear, they will carefully suppress"

The CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILROAD
The preliminary surveys for the Cana
dian Pacific railway are rapidly ap-
preaching completion, and the actual
construction of various sections of it
will very shortly be in progress. In
the government estimates for next year
there is an item of Sc, $50, 600 under the
head of " Pacific Railway" and on the
occasion of its discussion in committee
of supply, the premier indicated what
the government proposed to do in
furtherance of this undertaking. A
telegraph service is to be established
along the entire route in advance of the
railway, and 81 900, 600 is asked for that
purpose. The contracts for this are
already let. Two millions of dollars is
for the payment of the large purchase
Of steel rails recently made in England
by the government so, 600 tons of the
best steel rail were secured at the av-
erage rate of $40 80 per ton, which is
ella med to be lower rate than iron rails
we're sold for during 1878, and a little
more than half the price of steel rails
during the same period.

A Heroic Young Girl.

A few days ago, at Aylmer, Ontario,
an event occurred in which two children
were the actors-but in which the high
est attributes of human nature were
displayed-and heroine of seventeen
years closed her career, having done
that which hundreds of her sex pass
through long lives without achieving

to the mighty dead" and could claim a
kindred with the great of old. A young
girl named Popps, seventeen years old,
is working in the house, nursing, who
can say over what ?-and keeping an
eye on her little brother who was play
ing upon the ice on the creek. The
little boy falls into the water instantly
his sister, careless of danger, runs to
pull him out and is drawn in herself
What does she do? Think of herself :?
No! She calmly tells her little brother
to climb onto her back and get out.
He did SO and was saved, but, in doing
as she babe him, he pushed her under
the ice, under which she drifted five or
six yards, and, of course, when taken
out was quite dead. What q noble
girl Could any hero whose name shall
live forever in story do more than she
did? At her age she knew we'll the
peril, but boldly ventured life, and love
and youth to save another. She died

salvation-and while We mourn over
the loss of SO fine and noble q spirit,
there is q mournful satisfaction in
knowing that such heroic devotion still

A CONTEST, novel in this country,
however common abroad, has just been
decided at Paterson, New Jersey.
There a number of English mechanics
out of employment have been amusing
their leisure in rearing and training
carrier-pigeons, and the first match in
this country was flown the other day.
Seven birds were entered to fly an
average distance of three miles. The
time made was not considered fast.
The winner of the first prize made the
distance in something over three min
utes, and one bird was over eight min
utes in reaching its cote. The first
prize, under an old English custom,
was large copper kettle of little value
pecuniarily, but greatly esteemed as
the emblem of victory. The test was
merely prelude to grand match in
which some two hundred pigeons will
be entered to fly ten miles. Some of
the birds to be entered have a record,
having distinguished themselves in fly
ing between London and Paris.

The Forms Of Fear.

In various characters fear assumes va
rious forms. Some children, who can
brave an external danger, will sink de-
pressed at reproof or sneer. It is our
business to guard against the inroads of
fear under every shape for it is an in
trinity, if suffered to gain the ascend
ancy, most enslaving to the mind, and
destructive of its strength and capability
of enjoyment. At the same time, it is
an infrmity SO difficult to overcome, and
to which children are so excessively
prone, that it may be doubted whether
in any branch of education more discre
ton or more skill is required. We have
two objects to keep in view: the one, to
secure our children from all unnecessary
and imaginary fears the other, to in
spire them with that strength of mind
which may enable them to meet, with
patience and courage, the real and I'M
avoidable evils of life. For the first,
there is no one who has contemplated
the suffering occasioned, through life,
by the prevalence of needless fears, i'm
aginary terrors, and diseased nerves, but
would most earnestly desire to preserve
their children from these evils. To this
end, they should be, as far as possible,
guarded from everything likely to excite
ton. In very early childhood they ought
not to be startled, even at play, by sud
dennoises orstrangeappearances. Ghost
stories, extraordinary dreams, or other
gloomy and mysterious tales, must, on
no account, be named in their presence,
nor must they hear histories of murders,
robberies, sudden deaths, mad dogs, or
terrible diseases If any such occur
rences are the subjects of general con-
versation, let them, at least be prohib-
tied in the nursery. Nor is it of less
importance that we should be cautious
ourselves of betraying alarm at storms,
q dread of the dark, or a fear and dis
gust at the sight of animals. The
stricter vigilance in these respects is
required because, by casual indiscretion
on our part, by leaving about an inju-
dicious book, or one alarming story, by
once yielding ourselves to an emotion
of groundless terror, an impression
may be made on the mind of child
that will continue for years, aud mate.

The Art Of Dress.

The Pail Mall Gazette, in a review of
M. Charles Blanc on the art of dressing,
says: "Sonle of our readers will per-
haps be surprised to learn that the
style of a lady's dress should depend
upon the shape of her nose, just as the
colors she wears must be chosen with a
due regard to her complexion and the
particular shade of her hair. If the
nose is classical the toilet must have
certain style about 1t, especially when
the persons features and bearing are
imposing. But what is style asks M.
Charles Blanc and he then proceeds to
tell us that this question may be an
swered by the first principles of decor
alive art-namely, that there is more
majesty in repetition than in alterna-
ton, and more dignity in harmony than
in contrast. Few colors, lines that are
in the midst of richness, uniformity of
materials, and quiet trimmings consti-
tute a toilette Severe. On the other
hand, different shades of color, broken
lines, novel trimmings, and the piqu-
ancy caused by contrast are the charac-
teristic features of q toilette de genre,
and would suit person with a "tip-
tilted" nose, as Tennyson has it, or at
least an unclassical one, a pleasant
looking countenance, or saucy eyes.
There are thus two extremes austerity
and coquetry, or, in other words, dig
nifty and gracefulness-a we'll as
medium style, which may be termed
pompous elegance. M. Charles Blanc
compares the three kinds of toilet to
the three orders of architecture, and
tells us that by taking little from one
and little from another we can COM
pose dresses that will suit any style of
features. A lady, however, in selecting
her toilet, should always bear in mind
that she must adorn herself in such a
manner that whom people look at her |
their attention, after resting moment |
on her dress, will become concentrated |
on her person. In this manner the eIe- |
gance and gracefulness Of q lady's at |
tire will cause people to admire the lady
herself. How often have we heard It |
said, We saw some magnificent dresses |
this afternoon 7 Now, if the clever |
who fashioned those robes |
had exercised little more ingenuity
The same people would have remarked,
We saw some very pretty women this |
afternoon |

Deep-Sea Soundings.

In lecturing recently before the roya
society on the Challenger expedition t,
the North Pole. Professor huxley ad
verted to the work which it was expected
would be done in reference to the. dis
tribution of life at the bottom of the
deep sea. The first instrument which
successfully brought up portions OF
this bottom was used by Sir John Ross
in 1878, seconded by Captain, afterwards
Sir, Edward Sabine. The result of
their Observation-Disclosures exam
nations being then unknown-had not
been exactly preserved, but subsequent
soundings little further north showed
that the bottom was entirely made up
of the skeletons or cases of diatomace-
ous plants and radiolaria, the silicious
matter being obtained from the water
by the action of those plants, which
cover the surface in places like thick
scum. We have thus a silicious pole

it was not without reason that when in
1889 the admiralty fitted out an Antarc-
tic expedition Humboldt suggested that
the existence of an Antarctic cap of the
same nature-a conjecture which was
perfectly verified. Between these two
zones Ehrenberg, so long ago that his
merits were apt to be ignored, had
that the greater portion
of the sea bottom was composed of

of organisms similar to those now liv-
ing. Whether at the bottom or not

for Professor Wyville Thompson and
some of his colleagues were at issue on |
this popt; but if so, certainly at the |

due to the Challenger investigations |

ASAvAaK HEAD-DREss AND SHIELD
We were shown this morning, by Mr..
Tom o 'Brien, the paraphernalia of an
Indian recently killed on Devils river
by a party of stock men, Mr.. John
Patterson being the man who assisted
the Indian to shuttle off his mortal coil.
The trappings consist of head dress
of feathers, beads, etc., to which trail
of red flannel was attached, adorned
with eagle feathers, and long enough to
have swept the ground: 1t is COR
geous piece of architecture. The
shield has several buckskin coverings,
very artistically arranged with plumes,
stuffed birds, and a little buckskin fig
ure of a man, which is supposed to be
an idol. In the middle of the shield
bangles the faxen scalp of a white
girl, worked in with beads and tied up
with blue ribbon, like the braid of a
school girl.-S0n antonio (ze1as)
