church Interests and tho Wai,

The Eastern war grew out of re-
,igious difficulties originally. For
generations the Russian branch of
the Greek Church has lowed" the
whipping it has given the Moham-
medan Turks on account of old tor
lures wherein thousands Of the
Greek Church Christians found hor-
rible death by fire and sword and
impaling sticks. The renewal Of
the prosecutions against the Greek
Church membership in Servia and
other Turkish provinces was the
prime excuse of Russia for resorting
to the extreme Of war last Spring,
but back of all was the ranking
remembrance of the martyred past.
1t is said with truth that the SYM
patty of the Christian world, re.
CARELESS of creeds in any part of
chat world, was with the Russians
in their battles against Mohamme-
danism as represented in the Turk
ISL Government This was tho case
at tho beginning and all through the
conhict; but now, ut the close, with
Northumberland almost PROSTATE,
the natural desire of each particular
branch of the general church of
Christendom to extend its own bor-
der has arisen, and Russia, with it's
s1reek Church, does not receive the
outside sympathy of religious
Europe which she received during
,he heat Of the struggle. That the
banner of the cross, as borne at the
masthead of the Greek Church, is
,laced in the ascendancy by the
triumphs of Russian arms, cannot
be gainsaid. The religion of Russia
9 spreading; its victorious votaries
daily chant the prayers in strange
and, and the people of another re-
ision have fsllen under its influence
phd within its possible grasp.
The rapid strides made by their
Russian rival is alarming to Roman
catholic and even the Christian
Protestant Powers of Europe. These
zee that the Greek Church, with it's
billions OF representatives, assisted
Py the march of a victorious people,
pay become most startingly formid-
be as q UNCONVENTIONAL religious
over among denominational relig.
us powers. The result of the Rus
an conquest in the East, as
|asonably deduced from the present
pndpoint, must be of vast benefit
the Greek Church as u religious
der. AS to the Roman Catholic
(urch, it will gain nothing by the
ents connected with the now
sing war, and may lose in being
red to face an old rival clothed
b renewed strength. The general
testant sect5 will not be SO ma
ALLY affected in this connection,
ess the Roman Church, which
upies the field with the Protest
lalths in England, America and
er parts of the globe, shall be
Gpeited to turn its missionary
ensth across the path of the adj
beng Greek church. In this event
Protestant churches would be at
st the temporary gamers by the
'endancy of the Cross over the
tsccnt in the Orient.

Shakespeare and the Bible.

Read the following curious parallels
between Shakespeare and the Bible.
They will be found interesting:
Bible" But though 1 be rude in
speech. - Cor. xi. 6.
Othello-" Rude am in speech"
Bible" Consume thine eyes and to
grieve thine heart. Samuel ii. 35.
Macbeth" Show his eyes and grieve
his heart"
Bible" Thou hast brought me into
the dust of death. Psalms.
Macbeth" Lighted fools the way to
dusty DEATH"
Bible-"Look not upon me, because
I am black, because the sun hath looked
upon me. Solomon Song i. 6.
Merchant of Venice" Mistake me
not for my complexion the shadowy
livery of the burning sum-"
Bible" What is man that thou art
mindful of him For thou hast made
him little lower than the angels, thou
hast crowned him with glory and honor.
Thou madest him to have dominion over
the works of thy hands. Psalms viii.
4, g., 6.
Hamlet" What a piece of work is
man How noble in reason, how infinite
in faculties +! In form and moving how
express and admirable ! In action, how
like an angel In apprehension, how
like God The beauty of the world,
the paragon of animals"

Fashion Notes,

Everything is to be beaded in the
spring.
Bronze brown and bronze-green are
two leading colors.
A handsome feather for dress hat is
made of India game-cock's tails and
lOphomore tail feathers combined.
Skirts are worn short in front and grow
longer and longer in the back.
Russia leather fans, mounted with silk
or satin, in all the new dark, rich colors,
are very popular.
The latest novelty in scarfs are of India
crepe, embroidered with silk in all the
Oriental shades.
The latest fashion for handkerchiefs
is to have them made to match exactly
the collars and cuffs worn.
Feathers arranged in bands form q
beautiful trimming. A fringe of Mara
ocut tips is exquisite on an evening silk.
Clasps, such as are worn to fasten
wraps, are now used in holding drapery,
Insects are also worn in the hair. They
seem almost to flutter on their velvety
couches.
Sho anu Vi DlfuE
have been introduced ON velvet head
gear, some pinnioned down by minute
arrows. somewhat bent, to show that
the missile was light and the prey heavy
hearted.
The very latest in hosiery is black silk
stockings elaborately embi oidered with
c!air-de-lune beads, presenting quite q
sparkling appearance. Many ladies,
however, object to these beads, because
they hurt the foot, and the pattern gets
tatooed on it; for these there are inser.
tlons OF black lace insteps.
A pretty model of capote bonnet is
quite seasonable in appearance. 1t is OF
bronze felt, trimmed with a wreath OF
thistles, and diminutivc fir cones, grasses
and moss of every conceivable shade OF
green, few loops of satin ribbon at the
back, and double ruche of tilleul silk
under the border
Lace will, if possible, be used even
more than ever. While it is always de-
sirable to have it real, there is not an
absolute necessity for it. Those who can
afford them still cling to real thread and
guipure, but for those to whom the real
is unattainable, the Nench is pretty and
within reach, and allowable by fashion
The lace used for undergarments is all
OF one kind, although it is distinguished
with number Of names, few of which
are Clevis, Mirecourt and Torchan.

Great Muscular Power.

Mr.. Gosse relates the following anec.
dote in The World of Wonders, of a
three horned beetle, which is not larger
than an ordinary English stag beetle
'iThis insect has just astonished me
by proof of its vast strength of body.
When it was first brought to me, having
no box Immediately at hand, 1 was at a
loss where to put it until could kill it;
but quart bottle full of milk being on
the table, clapped the beetle for the
present under that, the hollow at the
bottom allowing him room to stand up
right. Presently, to my surprise, the
bottle began to move slowly, and glide
along the smooth table, propelled by the
muscular power of the imprisoned insect,
and continued for some time to peram-
bulate the surface. to the astonishment
OF all who witnessed it.
The weight of the bottle and it's con.
tents could not have been less than three
pounds and half, while that of the
beetle was about half an ounce SO that
it readily moved weight 1l2 times ex-
ceeding its own. A bette, notion than
figures can convey will be obtained of
this feat by supposing lad of fifteen to
be imprisoned under the great bell of st
Paul's, which weighs 12, 900 pounds, and
to move it to aud fro on smooth pave,
meat by pushing within"

An Indian War Dance.

The Leavenworth (Kansas) Times
thus describes general war dance, exc
cuted in Chief Joseph's camp above
Fort Leavenworth Chief Joseph and
his brethren were decorated in the most
something new and in the most varied
colors. The dance was given as a token
of respect to the memory of one of the
most valued chiefs of the tribe, who was
| killed at the battle of Bear Paw Noun
| tain. The chief was q leading brave,
and was one of high position in the
tribe. Joseph made the occasion of
great importance at the camp, and was
himself arrayed in magnificent style.
Several fine horses, borrowed frcm the
| officers of the garrison, were used on
| the occasion by the warriors, and each
animal was decked in all that can be
imagined in the way of Indian notions
of beauty. Some were almost covered
with skins of various animals, while
around their necks were long strings of
bells and bead work, which would have
put circus to shame. The tails of the
| horses were artistically decorated with
eagle feathers. Among the horses used
was handsome black steed owned by
Captain @. S. Ilsley, which was made
attractive by being caparisoned in
elegant style, and rode by grandson of
the late survivor of the original tribe.
The latter left his "tepee with quiet
dignity, and, after mounting his horse,
joined the procession which circled
about the same in concert with the
loud cries and walls of the women
within.
The ceremony was kept up for long
time, and each one of the warriors
seemed in earnest. During the cere-
mony Chief Joseph told Captain Ilsley,
who was present, through the inter-
prefer, Mr.. Chapman, that the feeling
of the tribe had always been favorable
towards the white men, and that their
good will had always been looked for,
and that if his heart was taken out it
would show the truth of the assertion
that the tribe had the same feeling now
they always had, and that he hoped
when, if he should ever return to his
own country. he would be able to show
he had told the truth. He then, on
behalf of the tribe, presented Captain
Ilsley with handsome buffalo robe as a
token of good faith. The ceremonies of
the dance were then begun and lasted
until late hour in the evening.

Ca ualties OF Land Travel,

Nj. Gartiaux has published some curl
GUS statistics on the dangers of travelling
by land. He says that in the old dill
gence days man had one chance OF be-
ing killed in 5000 trips. and one
chance of being injured in 10000. On
the railway, between 1885 and 1855,
there was one chance of being killed in
100000 journeys, and one chance of
being injured in 100000 From 1856 to
1875 one chance of being killed in MAX
ing 100000 journeys, and one chance
of being injured in 100000. Now the
chances of being killed are as one to
5000, 600, and of being injured one to
100000. Consequently, person
travelling ten hours day at the rate of
forty miles an hour would, in the first
period, have had chance of escaping
destruction during 321 years; during
the second period during LOLA years.
and between 1872 and 1915 during 1889
years.
