An Ancient City.

The city OF Petra existed before the
time OF Moses. 1t was the place where
Solomon was merchant and David
fought the foe. Petra is in the very
lowest part of rocky valley, now called
Wada Musa. The city, which covers
considerable territory, is completely
hemmed in by cliffs. The only avail
able entrance is from the east, through a
narrow gorge, so small in places that a
loaded camel cannot pass through. The
path is crooked and the sides of the
cliffs are many hundred feet high. Once
in the valley, where the site of the city
is found, one sees an amphitheater capa-
BILE Of holding $500 persons. Magnifi-
cent temples, pillars, public edifces and
dwellings are found on every side in al
most perfect preservation. Up the
mountain sides the homes for the PEG.
pie were built, and the sides of the
mountains, first shaved off, were carved
into long flights of stairs. All the build
ings and pillars are carved from the
solid rock. A house or a temple was
made out of, and stands to-day, a solid
piece of stone. The process was to
plane off the side of the mountain of
stone, then, beginning at the top, a ia
cade of elegant architectural beauty was
carved upon the face of the mountain.
First the capitol was carved, then the
pillar, then the base, and so on down to
the bottom. Excavations were made.
beginning at the top, and in this way
the temple was gradually constructed.
The stone is puzzle to biologists. It's
color is red and green, and yellow and
blue, and garnet and brown, as in wa
tered silk, and the best explanation of
its gorgeous variety is that the water
has mingled with the iron salts, and the
iron itself. being of different constitu-
ents, in different places, has caused the
several coiors. They look like the col
ors of rich Persian rug blended in
curving lines. The mountains, which
really constitute the surrounding walls
of Petra, and give it the name of the
"Rocky City," and make it the most
lmpregnable place in the world, are
from 1,500 to 5000 feet high. Some of
the dwellings, and temples are 100 feet
in height. The excavations are 30 and
40 feet deep.

Some Fashions In Names.
cleveland Herald


1t would seem that fashions in sign
ing ones name wovld be surperhuous;
that If one had a name that was the
thing to sign, that and nothing but
that, but alas ones simple name is not
sufficient. Some time ago certain young
men of social aspirations started the
fashion OF representing their first names
merely by an initial letter, while the
middle names. often improved upon or
invented tor the purpose, were spelled
out In full. The novelty of this has
worn off somewhat, and we sre not I'M
duly impressed by a card bearing the
dame of 81. Fortesque Browne" or
So. de Smythe JONES'. But now that
women have come to using the same
fashion, we are little surprised. That
1t Is not simply ripple upon the sea of
fashion is shown is shown in the fact
that several wedding invitations have
gone out with the brides name similarly
engraved, both in this city and Phila-
delphis.
A later costume than this is being in
troduced at present that of signing
the entire name IN full, and also that of
Joining two names as a surname. The
we are getting so many of our fashions
nowadays. English women ara signing
Mary Elizabeth Jones, or Herbert Lilo
mel Brown, as a mere matter of coures,
and If he or she were given as many
more names, would use them all, for,
why are names given them if they are
not for use? and do not three or four
names look more important than one
with initials?
The second that of joining two names
as surname, comes from France,
where 1t is customary to use the name
of the wife as well as the husband.
There is much more reason for this lat
ter costume than the former. This
costume makes it an easy matter to give
woman her proper place among her own
or her husbands family. Mrs. Jones
Is indefinite. There are so many Mrs.
Joneses that we cannot tell unless we
know her well, which Mrs. Jones it it
we know. But Mrs. John Hamilton
Jones tells us at once that Miss Hamil.
ton married Mr., John Jones. and that
MIR. John Jones married one of the
Hamilton girls.
In the case Of widow who has mar
ried again, it is quite customary to see
cards engraved 'fMrs. J. Frances Eng
lish, Frances being the first usband's
name. This custom obtains more gen
orally among women who have attained
something of reputation, socially, ar
tlstically, or otherwise, which they do
not wish to lose by hiding their identity
under new name.
