The head of the infant Bacchus
whom the Hermes of Praxiteles bears on his
arm, was recently brought to light by the ex-
cavaticns at Olympia. The skull is small the
beautifully arranged locks of long hair are Sc
cured with band, and brought together into a
small knot over the forehead The face, fea-
lures, and attitude are fully developed and
stand In no sort OF proportion to the small forms
OF the body. But the movement of the infants
body is marked by indescribable grace and
hveiiness. The little head is turned toward
the lett shoulder In order to look past the face
OF Hermes to the right hand The left arm
clutches at the grapes which Hermes holds: the
right hand rests on the shoulder of the god.

- The Bibliotheque Rationale has re-
celved communication regarding two verv in
teresting manuscripts. They are two AUTOGRAPH
fragments OF the Epistles of st. Paul. which
nave been found in volume from the library
OF ST. Ambrose on Mount Athos Compared
WIN the incomplete manuscript which the
Vatlcan possesses, they are easily recognized as
authentic, from the fact that they agree per-
lectly with the torn parts wanting in the latter
writing.

So WE Co." Closing the churches
during the summer" says the Presbyte-
rain Banner, {" is beginning to be followed
by shutting up the Sunday Schools also.
The managers of the Brooklyn Sunday
School Union have issued a circular
calling attention to the great evils re-
sulting from disbanding the Sunday
Schools in the city during the summer
months and earnestly requesting the of
fcers and teachers of every Sunday
School in that city to consider the great
Importance of keeping their doors open
during every Sunday of the year Not
withstanding this some of the largest
and most influential of the Sunday
Schools have closed their doors for the
season. The proportion of people absent
from the cities in July and August is
very small, and the number of children
for whom the Sunday School is especially
intended, who are away from home at
that time, is still less. The whole bust
ness of shutting up churches and Sun
day Schools for two or three months in
the year should be abandoned"
We don't do these thing down South
The fact is we are ahead of you in some
things.

In reply to the questions, Mrs. Grant

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

Go forth to the battle of life, my boy.
Go while it is called to-day,
For the yea go out and the years come in
Regardless Of those who may lose or win,
OF the @ who may work or play.
And the troops march eadily on, my boy
To The army gone before;
You may hear the sound of their falling feet
Going down to the ..vef, where two worlds meet;
They go to return no more.
There is a place for you in the ranks, my boy,
And duty, too assigned;
Step into the front with cheerful face
Be quick or another may take your place
And you ma be left behind.
There s wo k 10 be done by the way, my boy,
That you never can tread again;
Work foc the loi,. .est. lowliest men-
Work for the prow, plane, spindle and n
Work for the hands and the brain.
The serpent VIII follow yo' steps, my boy,
To lay for your feet snare;
And pleasure sit IN her fairy bowe
With garlands OF poppies and lo.us flowers
Enwreathing her golden hair.
Temp,a, ons VII wait by the way, my boy,
Temptations without and within;
And spirits of ev'' with,robcs fair
AS those which the angels in heaven might wear
viii lure you 10 deadly sin.
Then put on the armor of God. my boy,
In the beautiful days of yoI.h
Put on the helmet and b eas.pla.e and shield
And the sword that the Lll"7t arm may WELD
In the cause Of right and truth.
And go to the battle of life, my boy,
With The peace OF the Gospel shod,
And before high heaven do the best you can
For the great reward and the good Of man,
For the kingdom and crown of God.

the elders to his house to take dinner.
The invitation was accepted and upon

host scrutinized him very closely, and
when finished addressed him as follows
"What was that you said2" He replied

A Russian Plague,

Fifteen years have gone by since the
waves Of the Black Sea first washed upon
the shores of Russia the eggs of the AnisopHa
auStriGca. Since then the phenomena h;7
been repeated with regularity. The Odessa
VcStrik of recent date contains the an.
nouncement that fresh swarms are ripening
into life on the sands near Sebastopol.
The" coming is a mystery which none can
explain. Tho larvae is first seen floating on
the waves of the sea. So soon as the eggs
get stranded on the shore the beetles break
into life. Then swarm after swarm, count
less myriads of AniSoplta auSiriaca pass over
the Crimean valleys into the interior.
Every year this terrible pest extends its
ravages, and diminishes the poor earnings
of the Russian peasantry by many millions
The great problem Of to-day in Russia ID
how to deal with this constantly recurring
evil. Machines of all descriptions have
been tried, but in vain. Each and all have
failed, as indeed must all mechanical de
vices employed against pest so vast thai

A little plainly dressed woman and two
children came to q fashionable hotel at
Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The fashionables
snubbed her because there was so little style
about her. She stood it for few days and
then sent homo to San Francisco for the
balance of her clothes and those of her
children. Next morning she came to
breakfast in a magnificent morning dress,
made by Worth, and profusely illustrated
with diamonds, and her two little children
were dressed up to look as pretty as
pictures. Everybody was very anxious to
make her acquaintance then, but she did
the snubbing this time. For W, she
dressed in a style that made all the other
women sick with envy, then she shipped
her nine trunks home, and again took to
her plain clothes.

LoCKJAw RELIEVED BY AMPUTATIoN OF
MEMBERs.-Nothing more remarkable in
this age of marvels in science in all bran
ches has bcen reported than case of cure
of lockjaw which a Louisville reporter
learned from DIR. James McEvoy. The
case came in DR.. McEvoy's own experience,
and is the first on record, as it is the most
wonderful he ever heard Of A young
man, aged twenty-five named George Dunn,
residing on the Point" above the city,
had the fingers Of his left hand severely
mashed three or four years ago. Wednes,
day morning he was seized with lockjaw,
and nourishment was administered by pry.
ing the teeth apart and inserting sustenance
upon the blade Of knife. DIR. McEvoy
was called in,y :terday, and as q last resort,
concluded tol amputate the badly mashed
| fingers. The first and third fingers Of the
hand were accordingly taken of, and to
the astonishment of DIR. McEvOy and the
attendants in an hour after the operation
the contracted muscles relaxed and Dunn
was able to talk. He ate also with relish.
The case is one that commands the inter
est and attention of ali physicians.

German emigration is largely on the
increase, the cause being the church trou-
bles, the pressure of increased taxation, the
greater cost of living, the political reaction,
and the dread of active service in the army.
Bremen, Stettin, Hamburg and Antwerp
have sent abroad during the first six
months Of 1880 total of 50,442 persons,
against only l6,O99 in the same time in
1879, 1884 in 1878, and 12,02l in 1877-
that is to say, the emigration this year is
S,476 in excess of the aggregate for tne first
six months of the three preceding years.

several Indianians who had seen Douglass
