superstitions of the Sea.
IRehohsth Herald.I

There is a story told by sailors of a haunted ship :hss used to sail out of Liv. erpool. The last voyage she made as an ordinary ship with no ghostly accom- psniment, she had supercargo who was a violisist. He used to take his violin and go up into the main crosstrees, where he would sit and play, his favorite tune being " The Girl Left Behind Me" On the voyage the supercargo became insane and jumped overheard. Ever after that occurrence on stormy nights, when wind and waves were high, and the ship groaned and creaked as she strug- gled through the waves, the sailors, Aoun- dering about on the dark, slippery decks, heard above the bowling of the tempest the sound of violin playing The Girl Left Behind Me" in the main cross- trees.
 Not many years ago there died in a little Cape Cod town retired sea cap. tain. Once when he followed the sea he came across sinking bark of Cape San R que. A gale was blowing at the time and heavy sea was running Added to this night was coming on, and though the poor ~retches begged frantically to be taken of, the captain sailed away and left them to their fate. The memory of the doomed crew of the sinking bark, stretching their hands out appealingly and watching his ship sail away with de- spairing eyes and ghastly faces, fingered with the heartless captain all the rest of his life, and in his declining days he ire. quently complained that the crew of the bark were haunting him, and said that some day the weasel itself would sail into harbor and take him away. One stormy winter afternoon the old man lay on his bed dying. lust as the ebb tide began to run in he sprang up and shouted {: Don't Don'tl m stand by till morn. ing. I'll take you all offl" and fell back dead. The watchers by ais bedside said afterward that through the window which overlooked the bay they saw bark come sailing into the harbor st the moment, and then vanished before their eyes.

An Invi, alton to the Queens Ball.

lGen. badeau, in New York Sun.
 You can not be asked to the queen . ball unless you have been at court the same year. For very great personages the rule may be relaxed, but in ordinary cases it is immutable. Once upon a time, however, a fair American arrived too late in the season for drawing room, and, in spite of etiquette, she determined to go to ball. But the American mia ister declined to ask the court to break its own regulations, and our undaunted countrywoman. who bad met the heir. apparent in society. applied to the prince himself His royal highness likes pretty Americans quite as well as others ; SO he good-na,uredly promised that if the American would make the request the invitation should arrive.
 But, when this vas announced to the willy diplomatist from the United States, that functionary had the fear of the court before his eyes, and, with the art of a Machiavelli, he wrote the lord chamber lain that, "at the instance of the prince of Wales he had the honor to apply" {" etc. The card was sent, and the impor- tunate American went to the ball. But the august queen of Great Britain and Ireland was indignant at the infringe. ment on her prerogative. See informed ,he heir to the throne that the ball was her ball, not his and the prince was vexed with the minister, and the minister was vexed with his compatriot; and alto gether the excitement aroused in exalted circles was very like wha, occurred at Olympus when Juno and her progeny were in the affairs of earth and the gods took different sides

Tree Planting in the United states.

II
From a paper on the woods of the
United States and their destruction, in
the February Century, Mr.. J.lE. Cham
berlain sums up as follows: tThe rea-
sonable conclusion of the whole matter
would seem to be that while there is no
serious menace to the eastern half OF the
United States through the loss Of forests,
there is good reason to urge the preser-
vation Of as much of them as possible
and the encouragement Of new planta-
tions; while in the western half of the
country the immediate withdrawal from
sale Of the whole body Of forests belong
ing to the Government is highly desira-
Bile. There should be an exhaustive in
quiry, at the hands Of a competent
Government commission, into the sub
ject Of the extent of forests belonging to
the Government. their location, value,
character ETC., the proportion Of private
lands now wooded, and the apparent
dependence or independence, as the
case may be, of all sections Of the coun-
try upon the modifying effect Of forests.
Exact information is now needed, which
could scarcely be obtained except
through the efforts Of such a commits.
sion.
Sentimental considerations, sup
pose, are to be held secondary to the
practical in the matter; but they are
powerful, and should be aroused in be
half Of no object more readily than thu
woods, which have occupied SO large Z
place in the sentimental life OF mar
from the earliest times.

Years ago, the writer saw q picture
with this inscription; The only true
likeness Of our Saviour. taifen from one
carved on an emerald. by command Of
Tberius Cesar, and given from the
treasury Of Constantinople BY the Em-
peror Of the Turks 10 Pope Innocent
VII, for the redemption Of his brother,
taken captive by the Christians.
Further search discovered the same
picture associated with different incl
dents, and led to study Of the pictorial
conceptions of our Lord in sacred art.
In the time Of Christ superstition had
suppressed all pictorial Jewish art even
in portraiture, and though skilful and
ingenious In all else, no jew dared 70
paint portrait, and no strict one would
even allow his own to be painted. for
fear of violation of the second COM
mandment Portraiture was therefore
almost exclusively In the heathen hands
and consummats as was Greek art In
painting the faces aud forms Of men. 1t
had small scope in that little Syrian
province Of the Roman world, where q
painter was an outcast
The first pictures of Christ were prob
ably the work Of some of His own dis
ciples. and gradually. as those who low
ed Him desired 70 see His face with the
eye of sense, the less scrupulous Gnostics,
with their ruder form of Greek art, re-
peated again and again some prototype
well known to them, but unknown to
us.
Very early in Christian history--as
early, indeed, as we have any history
outside of the gospels-there was some
well-known ideal, and many copies,
though varying among themselves. dis
tributed among the oriental churches in
Asia and Africa, not always the same in
every detail, but so uniform in general
that they were distinguished at sight
The earliest known historical mention
of such works. though only incidental,
is made by Tertullian (born in A. d.
1907, who criticises picture of Jesus as
s.incorrect," and wanting in resem-
blance." This implies that there was a
correct type, which truepicture should
resemble. Nothing better illustrates the
number and antiquity of such pictures
than the fact that the earliest ecclesias-
tical historian, Eusebius, in $40, speaks
of them as very plenty. and some o.
them already very ancient, and assocl-
ated with traditions of miraculous origin.
Augustine, in the next century, speaks
of "a variety Of numberless pictures, !
and alludes to some Of them as ancient ~
