The japanese idea Of He'll.

At Tifany's is a scarf of gray Canton
Grape, which psrtrays the Internal
regions according to the japanese idea.
The scarf il nine yards long and half a
ward wide. The first scene represents
satan on earth seeking new victims, The
arch.fend appears as sulphuric, yellow
ish>green demon, with protruding horns,
cloyen feet and demoniacal expression,
hiring his victims into his net, and
plunging them into fiery depths. They
sppear to fall into a nest of burning
scorpions, where they are tantalized bya
glimpse of their friends enjoying them
selves in q lake of cool water. In the
ncxt scene, Satan takes the form of an
immense dragon, with his human victims
crouching in terror at his feet. They are
mercilessly dragged into court, and the
Judge is represented as condemning them
70 he tied to rocks and to have red hot
load poured down their throats They
are then chased by hyenas through field
of open knives and other sharp mstru-
ments. The victims are next portrayed
a. being tortured by having their limbs
sawn off and by being thrown into a re-
voIving wheel of fire. Satan next ap-
nears to be looking out for new victims
m field OF battle. Some of these
Victims are made to hug red hot stove
pipes, while Satan himself, with a smile,
Il tanning them. Others are swimming
In seas Of blood, surrounded by laughing
demons. Others still are seated in a
caidron of ret.hot sulphur, having their
tongues pulled out. Some are repre-
sented as carrying heavy burdens Of coal
and throwing it into the fire to burn new
victims His satanic majesty Is next

that religious duties consist in doing justice,

will say, Are we to have no word of God
no revelation? ! answer, Yes; there is a

word of God is the creation we behold; and
it is in this word, which no human invenr

THERE is evidently something wrong
with the atmosphere out west, and If
the weather clerk was attending to bust.
ness he would have it ret right again
At Morris, Ill.,, the other day, a large
cloud arose from a little south of west
passing eSst, and just about on the line
and directly over the Illinois river. The
cloud was not very dense, and yet was
quite black, but had nothing to indicate
tornado in it. But emanatinp from
the cloud was constant roar, like dis
tant thunder, which did not cease from
the time the cloud appeared in the west
until it was cut of sight in the east, the
time extending at least fifteen minutes
The sound was something like the roar of
a distant train of cars. although those
who have heard the sound of coming
tornadoes, reco. nHed it Immediately as
being of the same character. But the
most remarkable feature of it was that
every few moments, perhaps as often as
once in two minutes, the sound would
swell into roar OF thunder-in no case
a crash, but simply an enlargement of the
roar 1t would then subside into the
continuous roar, and then swell again,
and 20 on. There was no wind percepti
BILE near the earth, and no evidence of
any accompanying the cloud in the sky.
IT is strange thing how little, in
general, people know about the sky. 1t

has done more Ter the sake Of pleasing
man, more for the sole ard evident pur.
