aud in them all the little last new 8
feminine lodges in the way of t
adornment in gloves, boots, silks, i
laces, bonnets, tea gowns, etc. There {
too, is the cable-cars sweeping G
its business streets, bear il
ing its thousands to aid fro with a c
great rush like the laundering I
wheels of the juggernant and often 8
sacrificing life under its wheels. !,
All is hurry skurry; there is no time {
for a decent step. The whlstls1
sounds, you spring to the step, and \
with a grip hold on the back of the
seat or grab the nearest thing at I
hand for self. preservation against
destruction. Step into the flying
car, and ten TO one, seat yourself in
som sbody's lap where you Fare not
wanted or expected. Rise in a aut-
ter with On apogy and plunge grace
fully into the only vacant seat you
have had an eye to all the time,
greeted with the smiles of all
around You save the one with the
lap you have just vacated. On you
fly to your destination. nine miles
out, it may be, for nickel. Prac-
tice in the gy mnasinm is thing to
perfect one for that mode of travel |
On Wabash Avenue there is to |
be seen the panorama of the "Baetle
of Gettysburg, with its hand-to
hand fighting add great sacrifice of
life; the "Eden Musee," with its
chamber of horrors; and last, though
not least, Jerusalem on the Day of
lsCrueifxien.' We all know what
that is; but to look ION that sub
lime, realistic illustration of sacred
history as now exhibited in pano-
rama gives one more correct un-
derstanding of the grand and awful
sacrifice SO powerful and wonder
fully portrayed by Karl Frosch.
We ascend the stairway and step
seemingly into another world, SO
strange is the scene around us.
An inky darkness envelopes the
sky and through it the evening star
is shining. An oppression falls up
on US in the gloom, and we lay our
hand upon our heart to quiet its
quickened pulsation. Our vision
clears and we see Jerusalem on the
hills with her palaces, surrounded
with her wall and open gateways.
Near at hand the rocks are rent in
twain, steep, Jagged, and wild IA
vines open on lr view. Caravans
are hurrying over the hills from the
| frightiul darkness for shelter with
IN the city. Groups of strange peo-
pie in oriental costume, whose
bright colors contrast strange
lily with the scene, fill the
spaces, many with awe depicted in
every feature. Loaded camels are
standing or kneeling near the mar
ket place; and fruit, vegetables and
flowers are displayed in the mar
kets. Under the olive trees in the
distance are grouped the wretched
lepers, with eyes turned longingly
) towards the cross. Jewish maidens
stand gazing with their water-jars
on their heads; and focks Of sheep
: and goats with their shepherds are
seen On the hills. The mountains
rise towards the horizon covered
with the dark green olive trees.
One gasps for breath and clutches
at the heart in pain as they raise
their eyes above the riven rocks to
the crots where hangs our dead
Saviour-hanging with outstretch-
ed limbs, and with MORALLY
wounded hearts between heaven
and earth! Blood is seen where
the strong nails penetrate the feet
feet and hands; resignation and
holy peace rests on the upturned
face "a peace that passeth under
standing" The sponge saturated
with vinegar and water and the
stalk of hissop to which sit is at
tached lie at the foot of the cross.
| The disappearing criminal Gasmas
hangs on one side and the repen-
tant Dismas on the other. Roman
| soldiers in coats of mails, mounted
and on foot, are near the cross
some of them casting lots for the
| Savior's cloak, unnindful of the
awful surroundings. Agonized
friends and relatives stand with
fearful eyes and bowed heads to
one side. Sn ;ering unbelievers and
hooking friends gaze with pitiless
leyes; and His last look was upon a
sea of revengeful and sarcartic Wis
ages. Pen cannot describe, Ian
guage fails to convey the scene that
meets the eye. But it will remain
with US forever. It rises up befole
US in our solitary walks. 1t is be-
fore US in our Thoughtful Incidence
1t comes in tie early morning,
when the stars linger linger
in the sky. IL is before in the
dewY eve, and in the darkness of
night, when "none but God can
hear" Eft comes in our dreams in
teesified, and our heart sobs as it
| did the day we stood panied and
started in the gloom, thinking be-
fore the cruelest and most atrocious
Suffering the world ever witnessed.
