A Region without IA Grave,

That vast region of country lying between
China and Siberia, known Us Mongolia pre-.
sents this striking contrast to the Middle
Kingdom, that while the latter appears like
a boundless cemetery, the land of the Tartars
has not grave or memorial stone. The
Mongols are living IN constant expectation
of returning to their old home far off to the
southwest, and they want nothing to keep
them from undertaking the great emigration.
The intensity of desire to be led back to the
land Of their fathers is most suggestive of the
prayers and wailings of the Jews because of
the desolation of Palestine and their agony
of longing for its restoration. When they
are punished enough and reduced to a rem
nant, they say, then will their Messiah re-
turn from heaven and bring back their dis
persion. What becomes of the bodies of the
dead in this graveless lands
You can read an exact description of the
condition of things in Mongolia today as
foretold in the prophecy of Jeremiah over
1000 years ago: They shall die Of grievous
Deaths they shall not be lamented, neither
shall they be buried, but they shall be as
dung upon the face of the earth. And they
shall be consumed by the sword and by fam
inc, and their carcasseS shall be meat for
the fowls of heaven and for the beasts of the
earth" Although this describes a state of
things begun in Palestine, it does not end
there. The Mongol puts the corpse Of his
friend on cart or other conveyance to be
dragged with great speed by horses on TO the
plains, ard whenever it is thrown there the
dogs and wolves may make repast.
Both Chinese and Mongols explain the diff
ference between their customs in this way:
Earth returns TO earth, flesh to flesh; that is,
the Chinese, whose bodies are fed b. the
grains of the earth, return to il as a natural
recompense; while the Mongol, who lives On
the animal kingdom, must, a natural re-
suit, feed il in turn. Read jeremiah, xvii
chapter, TO see how the geographical posi-
ton, religious condition and the like make a
people like the Mongols just suited TO the
prophecies regarding scattered Israel

Ghosts I'm Jail.

In various parts of China there is a belief
that the souls Of very atrocious criminals
who have either been executed or died in
prison are sent back from Hades by Yenlo,
the judge there, to undergo further term of
Imprisonment, one death not being enough
TO expiate their crimes. When the second
term of imprisonment is judged to have eI
pired the district magistrate beseeches the
tutelary deity of the city to accompany him
TO the prison in order to acquaint the ghost
of his release. The order is supposed to reach
the imprisoned by burning it, ceremony
which is soleninly carried out in the Jail. On
Aug 10 last the district magistrate of the
city Of Soochow had placards posted up in
viting subscriptions of imitation money for
the ghosts then in the city Jail This was all
duly burned and thus converted into cur
rency, which would be useful to the ghosts
on the long journey before them.-London

Wanted the Hole Himself.

At the club the other day they were re-
counting some "reminiscences Of the war,
when an old general on the retired list of the
army remarked:
II will illustrate to you the amount of in
fuence possessed by officers over men. and
the high state Of discipline that prevailed
during the first months of the war, by the
following incident that occurred at the bat
tie of Bull Run. In the heat OF the action an
officer, who has since become prominent and
well known throughout the country, was
then in command of brigade on the right of
she line. While riding over the field he dis
covered a soldier concealed in hole in the
ground, which was Of just sufficient dimen-
sons to afford him shelter. The general rode
up 10 him, inquired as to his regiment, and
ordered him to join it at once. The man
looked him full in his face, placed a thumb
upon his nose, and replied
'Oh, no you don't, old fellow You want
this hole yourself. New York Tribune.

The American Analyst thus sums bakers
profits, or what a barrel of -four is worth
when made into bread. A baker will toss a
barrel of -four into a trough. Then he losses
I04 pounds Of water on top. A quantity of
yeast is added, and the baker has 500 pounds
of dough to operate on The 800 pounds cost
him IS. In short order the dough is turned
into TWISTS" high loaves, pan loaves and
other styles of the same quality. The ovens
heat reduces the 800 pounds Of dough to 26o
pounds of bread. The baker sells his bread
At the rate OF cents a pound. or at an ad-
vance Of over so per cent. over what it cost
him. There are 400 bakers, great or small,
IN New York city, and to them is committed
the trust Of supplying bread for 100000
persons There are many bakers in that city
who make l 800 loaves Of bread per day and
sell it for from $50 to $50, or net profit Of
$40. Little money is lost IN the business,
and most bakers do a cash trade

The Cost of Living in q Hat.

Is living in fat expensivei Well, that
depends on the kind of fat one lives in.
On Third and Sixth avenues which are thor
oughfares, and on the more modest streets, in
fats that are not luxurious, that are without
passenger elevators and other costly con-
venieuces, you can get a suite of half dozen
rooms for t600 8 year. OF course $50 per
month is good deal for ordinary persons,
in view OF the fact that the growth OF the
elevated railroad system enables men of or
binary means to live in the suburbs of the
great city, where rent is cheap, and yet get
to and from their places of business in q very
short time. 1t Is this that has caused the fat
system TO fall into disrepute.
But these 5000 fats are chespneSs itself
when compared vita IN the neighborhood Of
Fifth and Madison avenues For suite OF
rooms you will pay anywhere from 1000 %
S.. COZ a year, but those who are able TO pay
it do not seem 70 think ii too much. But
these suites are magnificent in every respect.
The s., 900 year tenants are OF course very
few and very select. Those who pay from
81. 200 TO 5000 sire most numerous, and for
either Of these amounts apartments can be
secured that are luxurious for any person.
But the fat for family use must SO. Real
estate men say that the large and more fash
ionable Cats yield but per cent on capital
invested in them, and real estate spectators
are in the habit OF getting more taan this out
of investments. The smaller fats, furnished
and unfurnished, where the rent IS moderate,
still pay as sn investment The biz oGes do
not, and TIE question what is 10 be done With
them is agltating their owners more than

The ENGLISH en- Early Marriages..

In summing up the marriage controversy,
on which it received q 900 communications,
The London Daily Telegraph says: THE
conccnsus of tn, letters is overwhelmingly
strong against early marriages. Our law
ought, we think, to forbid marriages to young
men under q and to young women under 10.
Among the working classes especially this
would produce, we believe, an excellent effect.
Then. also, it is clear to our mind that the
law of divorce must be enlarged to permit
dissolution Of marriage for desertion, for
lunacy, for confirmed inebriety, for convic-
ton Of disgraceful crimes, as likewise for
established incompatibility OF temper md
temperament, such as just and prudent
judge would admit to be adequate. That the
marriage service as it stands calls also for
alteration has been abundently demonstrated

Grape Juice.

A writer in Pacific Rural Press tells his
method. as follows:
In the first place stem the grapes and
press out the juice into tank, letting it
stand over night TO settle. In the morning
/ rack II off and then filter, thus rendering it
free from ali vegetable matter. also take q
quantity of black grapes and put them in g
boiler, letting them come to boil, in order
to produce dark juice. This juice filter.
Now, by blending these juices, any shade Of
wine desire is produced, from a light pink
to deep claret color. then put the wine
in boiler-whIch should be copper, with q
faucet at the bottom for convenience in
bottling-and let il come to brisk boil,
skimming what rises TO the surface. Il IS
now ready TO draw OF into bottles, which
should be standing in hot water to prevent
breaking on the introduction Of the bot
juice When the bottles are filed they should
be corked Immediately, and then dipped into
melted rosin, which seals them air tight.

Air In Scotch Tenemenfk.

The authorities OF Dundee, Scotland have
been making some thorough investigations
of the air in poor tenements This led to y
comparison with the air of sewers. and 1t
was found that the sewer air was decidedly
the purer aud safer of the two That is,
there was more clrbonic acid and organic
matter and other poisons in the air Of badly
ventilated apartment occupied by human
beings, than in a sewer. This is doubly true
of overcrowded and badly ventilated halls
and lecture rooms, and such places as are
often used for auctions. The fact may be
that much is laid 10 the back set Of sewer gas.
which is simply the natural air of the house,
owing to lack Of common sense in sanitation.
Thousands Of houses get no ventilation, ex-
cept that which is accidental; sewers would
be more wholesome. Plumbers are blamed
when the blame should rest with the occu-
pants and owners.-St Louis Globe-Demo-
