KHARTOUM.

Description of the City in the Soudan
Which has Fallen Into Eel MahdPs
Hands.
Khartoum is a city numbering be-
tween fifty and sixty thousand people.
Several European consuls reside there.
The American consul was Azar Abd-el-
Melek, Christian Copt from Esneh,
and one of the principal merchants.
The European colony is small and con-
tinually changing; for Khartoum is a
perfect graveyard for Europeans, and
in the rainy season for natives also, the
mortality averaging then from thirty to
forty per day, which implies three
thousand to four thousand for the season.
Khartoum is the commercial center of
the Soudan trade, amounting altogether
to siXty-five million dollars year. and
carried on by one thousand European
and three thousand Egyptian CONNER
cial houses. Drafts and bills of eX-
change upon Khartoum are as good as
gold in Cairo and Alexandria, and vice
versa. From official sources [ learned
that the city contained three thousand
and sixty houses, many of them two
stored, each having from ten to one
hundred and fifty occupants. Stone
and lime are found in abundance, and
the buildings are, after a fashion, sub
stantfal, the houses belonging to rich
merchants being very spacious and com
Portable. There are large bazars, in
which is found much greater variety
gf European and Asiatic goods than
would be expected in such distant re-
gions. In the spacious market-place a
brisk trade is carried on IN cattle,
horses, camels, asses and sheep, as well
as grain, fruit and other agricultural
produce. Many years ago an Austrian
Roman Catholic mission was estab-
lished and literally supported by the
Emperor of Austria and by contribu-
tons from the entire Catholic world. 1t
occupies large parallelogram sur
rounded by solid wall. Within this
inclosure, in beautiful gardens of palm,
1lg, pomegranate, orange and banana,
stand a massive cathedral, Il hospital
and other substantial buildings. Before
the people of Egypt and the Soudan had
been irritated by foreign interference,
such was their perfect liberation and
good temper that the priests and nuns,
in their distinctive costumes, were al
ways safe from molestation, not only at
Khartoum, but even at Ell Obeid and
the neighborhood, where the majority
are Mussulmans and the rest heathens.
1t was stated some months ago that
Gordon had abandoned the Governor
palace and transformed the Catholic
mission into fortress, its surrounding
wall and massive buildings rendering it
capable of strong resistance GcncTuJ

SCHOOL AN1l CHURCH.

The University at Oxford has appli-
ances for printing books in one hundred
andti fly languages and dialects.
-Wilkesbarre citizens told the school
principals that they did not want their
young girls" to deliver declarations
in schools, as it has tendency to make
them very bold.-PutS5argb Post.
In some of the rural churches in
Holland it is customary to smoke during
the service. A foreigner, who recently
preached to a Dutch congregation, had
among his audience the pastor of the
church, who smoked his pipe like the
rest.
The Episcopal or Anglican Church
has in England and Wales 14,l72 bene-
fees, $500 curates and 5000, 900 church
sittings. In Great Britain and colonies
and the United States there are, includ-
ing two Archbishops, 223 Bishops. The
number of the clergy is as follows: En-
gland and Wales, y, 900; Ireland, $50;
Scotland, $50; Colonies and India, 1000;
United States $500; total, $500.
Investigation among the school
children of London has shown u sad

The Director of Primary Instruc-
ton in Italy recently submitted to the
Government his report on the operation
of the obligatory law during 1872.
He makes a very remarkable showing.
Out of 1892, 172 children subject to the
law, 1,735, 1875 were enrolled in the
schools at the beginning of the school
year. BY March there were 1900, 755
in attendance, and of this number only
] 232,929 were, at the end of the year,
presented for examination. This lamen-
table condition of things the Director
believes largely due the poverty of the
people.

A THoueHr FoR EASIER.

Sweet is the story in the Gospels told,
Familiar to our ears, yet never old,
How Mary fastened, in the dawnng gray
OF that first, precious, taroH Easter Day,
With spices sweet, and ointment and per-
fume,
Unto the garden and rocl-hewn tomb,
Tendery longing honor due to show
The form she pictured lying cold and low;
But found the imprsoning stone was rolled
And angels sat where late the saviors body
lay.
What wondrous tidings fell upon her ear!
''The Lord ye seek is rsen-He is not here!'
Joy strove with grief and fear in her sur
prise,
Was Christ, then, gone? On but for one more
glance
Of that roverod. beloved countenance.
Weeping, she fingered in the gardens gloom;
And, as the sunrise smOte the open tomb,
She heard her name, and trembling turned to
The face she last had seen on Calvary;
No longer pale with pain, but in the light ''9
OF the fair morning, glad, serene and bright.
With quick Thanksgiving for boon 50
"Master!' she cried, and falling at His feet,
In silence she adOred; but when lie said:
eco tell my brethren" at His bidding sped,
And wrought, in bringing His disciples
The earliest service for the risen Lord.
The centuries stretch between her life and
ours;
Yet as today we wreathe the cross with
flowers,
She in our solemn gladness bears a part,
And we claim kindred with her loving heart;
For saints in earth and Heaven rejoice as
one
AT the glad rising of the Easter sun.
And still the Lord, through each of us His
friends,
A loving message to His brethren sends;
Be ours to hearEent to the tender tone
With swift obedience As Mary S own.
With flower and song our risen King we
greet;
0, not with tardy or reluctant feet
Be ours to do His errandS, or fulfil
The daily, common bidding of His will.
While with US yet we have the poor, the
weak,
The fallen to reclaim, tho lost to seek.
The sick to cheer, the ignorant to teach,
Bruised hearts to heal with kindly deed and
speech.
How rich in service any life may prove
Which in Christ's stead fulfls His ministry of
love!
o, Lovel strike deeper roots our hearts
within;
O'ergrow the weeds of selnshness and sin;
And be thyself our fragrant Offering made
Our perfect flower upon the altar laid.
What purer, Sweeter tribute can we bring,
This Resurrection Day, to ChnSst our Lord
and King?

ALL ABOUT VIOLINS.

| The Success of the Cremona-Voods Used
in Manufacturing the Instrument.
| For some time considerable attention
has been devoted by manufacturers of
the violin to perfecting that instrument.
A discussion has for some time been
progressing as to the secret Of the sue
cess of the cremona. Mr.. Shradieck,
! OF Cincinnati, says the secret of the
cremona makers has been discovered,
and consists of using for their instru-
ments the wood of a tree containing
'-Ed1sam. This tree used to be planted
in the neighborhood of Crcmona, but it
is no longer to be found in Italy
A reporter for the Mail and E'rDrcSs
visited manufacturer in this city and
asked for his views. He said: The
subject of the manufacture of violins
has always caused difference of opinion.
and l think always will. The reason of
the success of the old cremonas is very
difficult to account for. One way of
doing so is that there are a number of
lost arts, and it is contended by some
that the old cremona manufacturers
knew an art of which we know moth
ing"
''Do you think that the Cremona VIC
Inns are far superior to any now made?"
mo, l do not | think that with q
number of people a cremona is only
used for the sake of having an old
violin, and not because of more excel
bnt tone. Artists have crazes as well
as other persons. l don't think that
there was so mnch of secret in the
cremona manufacture, but that there is
a great deal in the fact that they are
very old, and have, consequently, mel
lowed in tone. Mr.. Shradieck, who
says that the secret has been discovered,
and that cremonas were made of wood
containing balsam, does not say whether
1t was pine, spruce, or fir, all of which
yield balsam."
''What wood is principally used for
viDlins?'
.t'The sounding board is made of
spruce and the back of maple. The
sounding-board is made out of two
pieces glued together down the center.
1t is not bent into shape but cut out.
The wood is never cut with a saw, but
split, and the finer the grain of the
wood the finer the tone. The backs are
never polished, but vanished with IA
sort of lacquer, which is supposed TO
add to the tone. Some makers say that
" fne-toned instrument simply depends
SssTe manufacture and proper proper
tions; if that is so, why do they not al
ways turn out good instruments? You
may make a hundred instruments and
not have one good one among them.
This accounts great deal for the eX-
pensive prices violins fetch. ~. y.

SPRING DRESSES.


some of the striking Features of the Late
styles of Dress.
The first importations of dresses for
the spring and summer months show
more changes in small details than in
their general outlines. The very bouif-
ant effect now popular is retained, and
even increased; the back drapery is very
full, and may be either straight or
punched up; and the basque is short,
with high darts that give full bust and
make the waist look slender. The full
tournure in many new skirts is made
entirely by the small cushion pad scwed
to the belt, without the use of steels
across the skirt lower down, as the
latter break the straight effect of the
boX-pleated back breadths. FlounceS
as trimmings are fast giving place to
flat folds, tucks, braiding, passemcn-
terie, and, above all, to the various new
laces of wool, silk, thread, or tinsel,
which are laid smoothly on the front and
side breadths of the skirt, forming
merely a border or else covering these
breadths as far as they are visible below
the drapery that crosses them at the
up. IuC NOOl y ltipltlS lttCtH NhONi II 'lS
Angora laces are now seen not merely
in trimming widths, but in skirt fronts
that are half yard or threc-fourths of
a yard in depth, with scalloped lower
edge and plain selvedge at the top.
These are used over wool fabrics of fine
and sheer quality, and will be the
fashionable ''transparents," just 4 as
beaded lace fronts have been over the
silks and satins that are now being re
placed by wool goods even for very
'dressy costumes. Sometimes this fiat
lace front is of the color of the wool
dress, and sometimes it is in contrast
with it; thus white wool guipure will be
worn over pale blue, pink, and lavender
cashmere or albatross cloth for after
noon dresses; crcam-colored wool lace
will trim brown woolcns of darker tone
reseda cashmere viii have reseda lace,
and black bison cloths will have black
Angora lace, which may be made more
gay by placing bright poppy red wool
under the lace, and thus displaying to
advantage its open pattern. -HaTpcr :
