Ancient Likenesses of Christ.

English work, entitled "The Like
ness Of Christ" written by the late
Thomas Heaphy. and edited by Wyke
Bayliss, is one of the most valuable
archaeological publications of recent
times. The full-page Illustrations,
which are executed in colors, fac
smile, are twelve in number. Three of
these are of the deepest interest by far,
for they give what hitherto the English
public has never yet had set before
them, representations of (D the picture
preserved in the sacristy of st. Peters,
at Rome; (2) that in the Church of st.
Silvestro, in the same city, and o. that
in the Church of st. Bartolomeo, at
Genoa. The first of these, roughly
painted with transparent rude pigments
on unprepared cloth, is never shown to
visitors at Rome, being seen only by the
Pope and two of the Sacred Conclave
after they have just received the holy
communion. The wonder, therefore, is
how Mr.. Heaphy, presumably Protest
ant, obtained permission to copy it.
This copy seems all but perfect, so
nobly and touchingly does it render the
Divine Face of Him who was fairer than
the children Of men, and yet, above all
his human brothers, " a man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief" The au-
thenticated history OF this picture
reaches back to the second century,
while the concentrated thought and feel
ing which it displays "almost force on
us the conviction that he that produced
it must have seen that which he depict
ed" The second and third representa-
tons are executed much in the same
manner upon coarse linen, and are types
Of a class ass numerous in Italy and in the
East. The Genoese example purports
to be the likeness painted by St. Luke
for Agbarus, of Odessa, and there ap-
pears to be considerable amount Of
evidence to identify it with the portrait
mentioned by Eusebius as preserved ct
that place. There can be no question
as to the antiquity of these pictures.

didn't give cent, he said, about the
arrest, but the meanness of the action
was what hurt him. I proposed to see
our employer and have him go Denmark S
bail, or else have the affair hushed up,
if possible; but Denmark positively for
babe any such proceeding; besides, it
would invariably result in the discharge
of both of us.
81 left the cell as detected as Denmark
was, and didn't know what to do.
81 resolved to do an act of justice,
however, and accordingly went direct to
the residence of the young lady and
raped on the door-there was no bell.
81 had no sooner done so than re-
membered that didn't even know what
name to ask for. However, the young
lady herself opened the door and put an
end to my embarrassment on this score,
but increased my embarrassment on a
thousand others.
81 told the whole story, putting the
blame exactly where it belonged. She
never said word during the recital,
but sat there with that straight-ahead
look in her eyes, and 1 half doubted
whether she paid any attention to what
1 said.
"She bowed me out without a word,
and I went home more depressed than
ever. After thinking the matter over L
resolved to go 10 our employer and lay
the whole case before him, in spite of
what Denmark had said, and, by assuming
the whole blame, as of course ought to
do, and accepting my discharge, he
might get Denmark out and keep him in
his employ. It was no fun to lose a
good place then, I can tell you nova
days people change around more.

Employment for Youthful Lover.
One Of our manageable young ladies
from the suburbs had heard her father
say that he wanted boy to do chores,
and as she was leaving the church for
home, forward youth of about Is, with
cane in hand and a cigarette in his
mouth, thinking himself every inch a
man, stepped up to the young lady and
with an air of assurance proffered his SER
vices as escort, at the same time offering
his arm.
"Well, yes" said the young lady, "I
believe father has been thinking of TAX
ing boy to bring up, and perhaps you
might answer"
The boy sloped at go-as-you-please.

Crowds focked to see it its icy brow
was covered with wreath of evergreens,
and the national flag was thrust into its
frozen grasp. For week its popularity
continued. Then it became necessary
to remove it to clear the plaza. In dig
cling it down the laborers uncovered a
dead body-the body of real man
which had been entombed in this coun-
terfeit of snow.
The corpse was that of a victim of vi
olence. The skull had been fractured
by heavy blows, and the features had
been mutilated to prevent recognition.
The body was naked, the clothes having
evidently been removed to secure the
same end which prompted the facial dis

The Poison of Serpents.

What wonderful thing the venom OF
serpent is Chemical analysis fails to
detect anything in it to account for its
action. Water, little albumen, some
mineral salts and traces of mucus, cpl
thelial cells, etc., Jumped together as
s'extractive." Nothing MORE nothing
specific about it all. Tasteless, color
less and inodorous, it may be rubbed on
the sound skin, or applied to the eye or
taken into the mouth without any result
whatever. The bites of different kinds
of snakes produce different effects. Some
act as depressant to the vascular sys-
tenn, some as powerful narcotic, some
cause Inflammation of the spine, while
others seem to give rise to disorganiza-
ton of the structural constituents of the
blood. ALI are attended more OF less
with rigors, delirium, syncope, convul-
sions, paralysis and coma. Whether the
poisons of any two or more species are
identical do not know-it seems proba-
BILE, but Id the five species with which 1
have experimental on myself, SO far, 1
have found five distinct and separate
venoms. I imagine, for instance, that
the rattlesnake and copperhead will
prove to possess the same, and perhaps
several of the viperine snakes. l hope
so. Some OF these fluids are very un-
stable, and decompose if kept only a
short time, or if their specific gravity is
disturbed, while others retain their dead
ly properties even when dried. That of
the common French viper (aper0 0sp5s)
may be diluted down till it forms mere
local irritant. No true antidote has ever
been discovered for the bite of any
snake, and the search for something
which shall be an antidote against the
bite of all appears to me to be irrational
in the extreme, seeing that there are SO
many different poisons producing in
many cases opposite effects. One might
as we'll expect to find general antidote
for opium, belladonna, strychnine,
arsenic and mercury poisoning. The ac-
ton Of ammonia, upon which so much
stress has been laid, is probably nothing
more than that of a strong stimulant,
certainly in its action in maintaining the
fuidity of the blood is quite hypothet-
ical, seeing that premature coagulation
of the fbrine has never been actually
demonstrated. Indeed, it is said that at
the autopsy OF the keeper, Girling, bit
ten many years ago by cobra di capello
at the gardens, the blood formed no clot
at all, but was found permanently fluid
in all the great vessels.

Beware, when at home, or abroad, of the fault
OF thrusting your knife in the butter or salt.
Smack not with your lips neither glover around

Priyately.Illustrated Works.

An elegant pastime of rich New York
ers is to privately illustrate fine books
with choice engravings, and an enor-
nous amount of money is spent in this
way. Robert Hoe, Jr., has notewcr-
thy collection of Observation-Disclosures
works, numbering over 1000 volumes,
which are valued at nearly $500, 600.
He has quantity of books SO elegantly
bound that the binding alone cost from
$25 to $500 volume. The text of his
most expensive volumes is printed on
heavy India paper with broad margin,
with rough edges except on top, where
the leaves are gilt-edged, to keep off the
dust. To privately illustrate a book a
collection Of engravings is at first neces-
sary. They must be of wide range of
subjects, including historical scenes,
pictures of landscapes, interiors, famous
buildings and portraits of famous men
and women. The illustrator carefully
studies the work he designs to illustrate,
keeping in his mind the pictures he has.
Where they serve he places them.
Where the text admits of an illustration
he does not possess he must hunt the
print stores over for one, and not rest
until he finds it. Artists proofs are
usually sought for, and, as the work OF
private illustration is usually carried on
regardless Of expense, their increased
costisnota consideration. IF fan engraving
is too small, it is inlaid in thick paper
by neat process In which the edges of
the picture and of the paper are beveled
that they may be glued so as to be al
most invisible. Mr.. Hoe has set OF
"Allison's History of Europe" Illus
trated by himself, with over 1900 en-
cravings, all of which are artists proofs.
He has an Izaak Walton, also profusely
illustrated at great cost.

The assessment Of the property
