The Pathos of the Bible.

Palestine to-day is q land of ruins.
Fields once fertile are desert; hill-sides
once clothed with vineyards are barren
and unsightly; cities dismantled, harbors
choked with rubbish and the refuse of
the sea. ALI is worse than solitude, ac-
cursed, "trodden under the foot of the
Gentiles;" yet the hills are musical with
words that shall outlast them an eternity.
Traverse the valley of Hebron; there lie
the bones of patriarchs. Visit the bor=
ders of the Dead Sea; its sluggish wa.
ters roll over the cities of the plain, and
trace the fre-storm from heaven. And
there, beautiful for situation, the Holy
City -Jerusalem-whither the
tribes went up; the guilty city, where he
warned, and healed, and pleaded, over
which be wept; the fated city, desecrated
by mans darkest crime, consecrated by
the marvellous manifestations of redeem
ing love. As the veri6cation Of pro-
phetic truth-as the center of memories
tenderest, most sscred-these ruins are
natures tribute to the pathos of the BIZ
Bile. They recall the touching narration
of holy wit, whose sympathetic influence
is felt wherever the word has gone forth.
Divested Of its pathos, the Bible were
but compilation of social ethics.
An ancient legend has it that tyrant
of the East went forth to battle with the
Greeks. Gazing upon the mass of liv-
ing millions enlisted in his cause, the
monarch's heart was melted. He wept,
he knew not why. The tears came not,
as he supposed, from any inference of
reflection. They arose spontaneously, as
they will at times amid the hustle Of a
crowded thoroughfare. Our own emo
tions are reflected back from other hearts.
We feel the thrill of spiritual contact,
the mighty presence of life. Such is
the pathos of the Bible, the underlying
tenderness which makes the book Of
books the book of human nature-sound-
ing the depths of human sympathy, uni
versal, inde6nable, profound. - Prize

Russia's Wheat Supply.

There is one important contingency in
regard to the wheat supply of Russia
which American spectators thus far
seem to have ignored. They have as
sumed that Russian wheat would be cut
off altogether by the blockading of the
ports on the Black Sea. But Russia has
a large railroad system, which is under
the absolute control of the Government.
There are $4,000 miles of trunk line
railroad in Russia, which have been con-
structed since the war of 1896, and
were located by the government with
special reference to strategic and com
mercial necessities in time of ywar.
Three of these main lines connect Cen
tral Russia with Germany, so that, be-
sides the Russian port of Riga on the
Baltic, Russia has an outlet through the
North German ports like Koenigsburg
and Dantzic. The Russian wheat export
to Germany for German consumption
has been for some years transported by
rail, and the same facilities may be used
for export to Great Britain from the
Baltic ports when the Black Sea ports
are closed. The longest distance which
it would be necessary to carry the wheat
by rail in taking this direction to Baltic
port to Great Britain does not exceed the
the distance from our Northwestern grain
fields to New York and other Atlantic
seaports, and the sea voyage will be very
much shorter. High prices will un-
doubtedly bring out in this way all the
surplus wheat that may remain in Russia.
If the war continues it may reduce to
some extent the amount of Russian pro-
duction, but as long as there are friendly
relations between Russia and Germany,
the American grain growers will by no
means have monopoly of the British
demand for breadstufs.-OhteaSO Tri-

WOOdsmen and Axes.

From an article on pineries and modes
of chopping in the Northeastern Lumber
man, we extract the following: The
STYLES of axes differ with nationalities. A
Canadian chopper prefers broad, square
blade, with the weight more in the blade
than elsewhere, the handles being short
and thick. A Down-East logger, one
from Maine, selects a long, narrow head,
the blade in crescent shape, the heaviest
part in the top of the head above the eye.
New York cutters select broad crescent
shaped blade, the whole head rather
short, and the weight balanced evenly
above and below the eye, that is, where
the handle goes through. A Western
backwoodsman selects blade, the cor
ners only rounded off, and the eye
holding the weight of the ak. The
American chopper, as rule, Sc
lects a long, straight handle. The
difference in handling is that a Down
Easter takes hold with both hands of the
extreme end, and throws his blows easily
and gracefully, with long sweep over
his shoulder. A Canuck chops from di-
rectly over his head, with the right hand
we'll down on the handle to serve in jerk
ing the blade out of the stick. A West
erner catches hold atthe end of the han
die, the hands about>three inches apart,
and delivers his blows rather directly
from over the right shoulder. In fact an
expert in the woods can tell the nation
ality or State a man has been reared in,
by seeing him hit one blow with an ak.
1t is, however, an interesting fact to
know that Yankee chopper, with his
favorite ak and swinging cut, can, bodily
strength being equal, do fifth more
work in the same time than any other
cutter, and be far less fatigued. This in
a very large degree will account for the
greater percentage of Maine men who
will be found each year in the woods.

ABOUT NosEs.-There are three ma
tionsl noses among civilized people, and
only three-the Jewish, the Grecian and
the Roman. Each is of a description
totally different from the other two, and
all three have a distinct character of
their own. The Jewish is the oAly ma
tional nose now remaining; the Greek
and the Roman are occasionally repro
duced among modern nations, but as ma
tional characteristics exist not longer.
That the ancient Jews attached no slight
importance to this feature is svinced
from Leviticus xxi. 18. where "he that
hath a fiat nose" is ranked with the blind
and the lame, and crook backed, the
scurvy and the scabbed, and is forbidden
to take part in the service of the sane
tuary.
The Greek nose has come down to us
in the Greek sculptures, and certainly
accords better with our Northern ideas
of personal beauty than any other.
Seen in profile the outline is almost a
continuation without curve or deviation
of the outline of the forehead. and would
seem, phrenologicslly considered, quite
in harmony with the unparalleled pro-
gress of the Greek in art, science and
philosophy. Among US moderns the
perfect Greek nose is extremely rare,
save on the canvas of our painters.
The Roman nose is the very incarnation
of the idea of combativeness, and suggests
the notion that it was borrowed from q
bird of prey.

Having heard that the Rogers Upright
Piano Company had introduced novel and

pianos, we have examined the instrument
with much interest. We find simple but
original application Of the "set screw" by
which metallic slides holding the "tuning
pins" are moved up and down, Tightening and
loosening the strings.
1t is evident that neither weather, climate,
nor lapse Of time can have any effect upon

QUEEN VICToRIA's LITTLE DOMESTIC
QUARREL.-Queen Victoria, in the early
days of her welded life, had one of
those squabbles with her husband, of the
sort which will come about sometimes
even between the most loving married
couples. Chagrined and vexed, Prince
Albert retired to his room and locked
the door. The queen took the matter
quietly for a while, but after the lapse of
an hour she went to his door and
raped.
"Albert," she said, "come out"
"No, will not" answered the prince,
within. "Please, go away; leave me
alone"
The royal temper waxed hot at this.
"Sir," she cried, "come out at once.
The queen, whose subject you are, com
msnds you"
He obeyed Immediately. Entering
the room she designated, she sat down in
silence. For long time nothing was
said. The queen was the first to break
the silence.
"Albert," she said, "speak to me-"
"Does the queen command it9' he
asked.
NO." she answered, throwing her
arms about his neck; '"'your wife begs it"

Virginia has the largest and most valua-

Union. Professor Gontaine estimates
that the area still covered by forests is
between s,OOO,O 900 and 100000 acres,
and that the value of the surplus ex-
portable timber is fully &75,00O,OO0 as
it stands in the forest. The oak, walnut,

More Testimony as to the Merits
of the New Piano.

While "the Baldwin" !" that byou Of American
hotels, was being constructed, Mr.. Baldwin
searched through the Eastern cities for the
most magnificent furniture that wealth could
command to grace his princely parlors, and
none will deny the exquisite taste OF his Sc
leetions. He also visited all the leading piano
manufacturers, each Of whom displayed his
most superb instruments and offered them at
the most tempting figures, being naturally
desirous to increase his business reputation
by being able to announce that his pianos had
been given the preference over all others,
and were TO adorn the splendid salons of "the
Baldwin" The following tells the result:

CHEMICAL analysis discloses the fact
that among the many articles used for
food there are only two, wheat and milk,
which contain all the elements of the hu-
man body and in the proper proportion.
Other articles-such as butter, sugar,
syrup, and fat of all kinds-are wholly
carbonaceous, or heat-producing; so that
if human being were to attempt to live
on these articles alone his brain and
muscles would starve. By actual expert
ment it has been found that a man could
not survive two months on such diet.

THE poolselling bill has had an un-
expectedly easy triumph in the Senate,
passing without negative vote and in
the exact form in which it was received
in the Assembly. Mr.. Morrissey made
some gloomy predictions of the probable
effect of the measure upon race-courses,
and was excused from voting, at his own
request, on the ground that he was him
self interested in one, the fact being
moaestly concealed that he had also been
the principal proprietor of an establish
ment devoted to the practice which the
bil1was framed Nespeciall5Ato prohibit
that of political betting: The arguments
of those opponents of the bill who are
not interested in gambling-houses, and
their number is large, must now be ad-
dressed to the Governor. 1t was the
recommendation in his annual message
for the passage of law to put an end to
betting upon elections which inspired
the present bill, aud it remains to be seen
whether he will sacrifice one Of his own
measures to save the race-courses.-N.
