The archaeological researches In Rome
of the recent years have thrown much
light upon the life of the early Christi
ans in that city; but no discovery has
proc uced such interest as that Just an
nounced of the tomb of Amplias. Says
Paul in Romans xvi. s, 'Grest Am
plias, my beloved in tie Lord" Who
was Amplias? Wao were his friends?
Why was he buried in this particular
placep The answers to these questions
are all furnished by the discovery OF
his tomb, and fiood OF light let up
On the times OF the early Roman
Christians. His tomb stands III one OF
the ca.acombs excavated III the time OF
Donitian, ON the ground then belong
ing ia Flavia Domitian, his niece.
Roman history preserves the fact that
Tlayia became a Christian. Amplias,
the friend ef Psul, must have been a
a distinguished man. Because he was
burie d in FlaEia's cemetery, We Judge
they we're personally acquainted. By
paul's greeting we imagine he was min
ister Of the New Word. Then the Tomb
Is of such caracter that only the pos
SCISSOR of great wealth could have con-
structed so remarkable a resting-place-
Was this the work of Flavia. niece OF
the great Donaitian? Was it erected at
the cost OF his familys or by the early
Christians OF Rome? These questions
NAV be answered, for the investigations
are not yet concluded. All that We know
al pres ent Is that there is Io tomb IL

Short Trips

There is a proposal Of loot to carr
European passengers to Cape Race, or
some eastern part of Newfoundland, and
there embark them on steamers Tor
Europe. 1t is calculated that the tune
can DE reduced to for or FIVE days, even
with our present steamers. by making
the ocean journey simply from land to
land, and performing the remainder OF
the distance by railway. 1t is calcul'.-
ted that from two to four days can be
saved by embarking at st. Johns or Cape
Race instead OF New York. Our idea
is that if a long sea voyageis to be taken,
the anEoyances, except IL case where
extreme speed Is necessary, OF changing
from cars to ship, and two-day raii-
way journey, will overbalance the siifer-
ences OF speed at sea. We have not
the least idea, unless the Eastern rail-
way connections are made vastly Ill bet
ter style than at present, that this
scheme will be successful.

Tea z.nd Coffee as Rivals.

Coffee anu tea ere natural allies, but
they are also natural rivals. As against
alcoholic drinking i'll any form they are
comoined. 1t is over tue unoccupied
territory, after alcohol has been driven
away, that the contention between the
two comes. Taking the world through,
the general ver,tict seems 10 be i'll fayOE
of tea. Two of the largest empires in
the world-China and Russia--are tea
drinkers. In BoAlIara and Samarcand.
and in most parts OF Central Asa, the
tea-urn is forever steaming. On the
ther hand, the Arab and the Turk, aud
with them the whole western part OF
the Mohammedaa world, are coffee
drinkers. The decision of Europe Is
not absolute for either side. II seeAs
to be very much determined by wh&t We
may call the accidents OF the case.
The nations which can get good coiiee
drink coffee. Those which car get good
tea drink tea. Those which can get
both drink both. England claims to
lie one of these, but the preference OF
England is beyoad ali doubt for tea and
not tor coffee. The unfair choice Is very
largely compensated for in the United
States-the chief coffee consuming coun-
try in the world. EhglIshmeu, too,
would probably make more use "a COT
fee than they do if they eculd once be
induced to overcome the initial ditiicuI-
ties of having 1t prepared as it ought to
be. Tea can be made easily enough.
1t may be strong or weak. according TO
fancy. 1t IS tea III either cilse. The
right plan, we are assured, is to put
plenty OF tea into the pot. then 10 add
it tc chance whether the liquid comes
Out strong or weak. But whateyer we
may think OF weak tea, ther IS no SGed
word to be said for weak coffee. Cofe6
must be very strong II 1t is to deserve
the name OF coffee at all. 1t Is a gen.
erous drink and 1t Is for generous ma
lures. the little arts which the frugal
housekeeper uses III rualllng tea are hot
to be thought OF IN making coffee.
There must be no economy IN the amount
used, no filling upof the pot, no making
the same materials serve twlce over.
That tea should ever be made like this
is bad enough, but there may be tastes
SO depraved as to put up with II and to
see nothing TO object to about It, The
man has yet TO be found who can even
make pretence OF liking weak coffee,
diluted in ten times its proper volume
and as deficient III fragrance rs IN

''Why, the chap who saved train

the glare OF the blazing kerosene lamp.
After much persuasion, reinforced by
stiff horn OF appleJack, he began:

A New Industry For Women.

Among the other grievances Of the
fair sex III England the legal rule that
imam" in acts of Parliament includes
both sexes when 1t iIhicts punishment,
but is limited 10 tue male sex when It
confers privileges, has long heldaPromi-
nent place. 1t would seem, however,
that the Iue Is not invariabie, and ae e
cording to decisien Of the POnteflact
magistrates it would seem that women
can indulge in poaching with impunity-
Tie daughter OF a notorious poacher
was caught coming from the fields with
all the paraphernalia Of the craft coz
cealed on her person. Her solicitor
secured her release BY contending that
as the act referred solely to men wo-
man could not be punished under Its
provisions. This decision opens up a
new field of profitable industry to wo-
men and, ii it should be upheld, the
male poacher would not become as ex-
tinct as the dodo.

On the I7th OF July, with traia oi
five mules and two cOmpGi ions, one OF
whom was partially familiar with the
country saws writer, / climbed the
summit of Cerro GordO. AT last we
stood upon the lofty ridge OF the Tele-
scopes, ard beheld below us the fateful
valley. which hes go feet below the
level of the sea and extends for hun
dred miles northeast and southwest,
with width of from thirty to forty
miles from east to west. Upon no land
scape can one look so deeply into the
interior Of the earth, for 1t occupies the
lowest point of dry land upon the conti-
nent, and, so far as | am informed, of
the earth itself. Befor Us II lies, a long,
deep, wide, vast basin, its shining
patches disclosing through the distance
its beds OF soda. salt AMI borax, which
cover thousands Of acres and blaze and
simmer and barn in the steady blaze
of light and heat which p0urs upon
them from a cl0udless sky. The valley 5
deep deciension grows upon the senses
and becomes more marked as the eye IS
held steadily upon it, and 1t Is empha-
sized by the swift decliYity ofthe inclos-
ing mountains. Dcear and deSOlate 1t
stretches its full length alo 2 IL frame
of painted mountains, which define, in
strong and mighty lines, Its aspects OF
terror. Though leaving the summit at

the borders OF the valley. By the bril-
liant moonlight We Were enabled 10 trace
the trail along the rocky washes as We
rode on into the night. At last, worn
and weary with hours of riding. We
reached the centre of the valley, known
as the "Big Hole" the point of great
est depression. Though time and ex-
ploration have drawn from out the aaci-
ent story most of its fearful threads,
this is still Deaths Valley and Is still
and will remain a region Of dread.
Indians familiar with Its face from III

prevailed on to go into 1t beyond their
time-wo trails. 10 the lost emIgrant

1t with fear. He knows its terrors, and
the bleaching bones of many skeleton
warn him to beware. Once lost within
Its embrace, and man 5 doom is written.

FoIlowin. a Streak of Wind.

A tr butor of RGby Hill was asked
how his .'p,tch" looked, and he made
the following remark 81 am follow
ing a streak Of wind" Strance as this
may appear, yet it Is true. 1t appears
that ia sinking upon his piece of ground
he came upon a crack IL the rock abou
three inches in width, from which issues
considerable air. Where 1t comes from
and whai tie miner may strike IN fol-
lowing this strange ''iead must Tor the
time remain a mystery. The miner
was right in following his ''stTeak OF
wind" lie doubtless understands ihat
this streak of air breathed out OF the
depths Is liable to lead Linn TO cave,
and he also knows that a cave Is liable
to contain an amount OF ore that would
make his fortune. Among the old lead
mines of Galena, Ill, a ''streak OF
wind or '.breathing crevice" was al
ways considered a first-class indication.
When miner found that, he was pretty
sure Of fnding cave filed with lead
ore. The lead mines of Galena are IL a
limestone formation that Is much the
sane as the formation about Eureka.
Wind from crevice down IN the
mine Is worthy of much consideration,
but wind on the surface from the hor-
izontal crevice an inch or SO below the
miners ose is often moth Dc but wind.
