Nature is filed with music. Away out
amid the solitudes of Mount Sinai, the noun
tain famed in story and in song, the hill call
ed Gibel Nakus Cdountain of the BelD, there
are musical tones that are heard distinctly,
and have excited much comment concerning
their origin. When one stands on the west
ern side, facing the Red sea, not the slightest
sound is heard. But the Arab guide will bid
rs remain at the bottom while he goes up the
slope. As be sinks in the sand nearly to his
knees at every step we hear faint sounds re-
sembling the tones Of the violin.
AS the rafting sand increases. setting in
motion leach grain a grain many times, y
soon rustling sound is heard, and then low,
mellow, musical tones, increasing gradually
to that of deep church bell, finally pealng
low and loud like distant thunder. When
the entire surface is in motion, one can i'm
agine what the sensation would be if one
were sitting upon some enormous musical in
strument while a bow was slowly drawn
across its strings. In short time the sand
settles, sound waves no longer vibrate, an
all is still again.

Indications of Eyes.

There are persons who profess to interpret
character by the lines on the palms of the
hands, the color of the eyes, the hand writing
and some other personal peculiarities To
what extent such interpretations are correct,
of course, we cannot say As to the color of
the eyes being test, the explanation as we
find it is as follows:
Clear, light blue, with calm, steadfast
glance, denote cheerfulnesS, good temper,
constGncy.
Blu, with greenish tints, are not so strong
~ Indicative of these traits, but slight pro-
pensity to greenish tints in eyes of any color
is a sign of wisdom and courage.
Pale blue or steel colored, with shifting
motion of eyelids and pupils. denote deceitful-
ness and selfishness
Dark blue or violet denote great affection
and purity, but not much intellectually.
Gray or greenish gray, with orange and
blue shades and ever varying tints, are the
most intellectual, and are Indicative Of the
impulsive, impressionable temperament-the
mixture of the sanguine and bilious which
produces poetic and artistic natures
Black dark brown are sign of passionate
ardor in love.
Light brown or yellow denote Inconsistency;
green, deceit and coquetry. Eyes of no par
ticular color tonly some feeble shades of blue
or gray, dull, expressionless, dead looking
belong to the Emphatic temperament and
denote lstleSs, feeble disposition and cold
selfish natIlre

Some Odd Epitapls.

A writer in The Boston Transcript says,
with regard to curious epitaphs:
l have been much interested in the quaint
and curious epitaphs recently published in
your columns, and l send two others to keep
them company.
From an old graveyard in Belgrade, Me-:
Though greedy worms devour my skin.
And gnaw my wasting flesh,
Yet God will raise my bones again,
And clothe them out afresh.
From a little wayside burial place near
Easton. Mass:
This sudden death which by fall pro-
claims loud and solemn call to all the
friends and neighbors too prepare to bid this
world adieu."

Where Fruits Were First Found.

Lemons were used by the Romans to keep
moths from their garments, and in the time
of Pliny they were considered an excellent
poison. They are natives of Asia. Spinach
is a Persian plant. Horse radish is native
of England Melons were found originally
in Asia. Filberts originally came from
Greece. Ounces originally came from Cor
NTH. The turnip originally came from
Rome. The peach originally came from Per-
STA. Sage is a native of the south Of Europe
Sweet marjoram is native of Portugal
The bean is said to be native of Egypt.
Damsons originally came from Damascus
The nasturtium came originally from Peru
The pea is a native of the south of Europe
Ginger is a native of the East and West In
dies. Coriander seed came originally from
the east. The cucumber was originally a
tropical vegetable. The gooseberry is indig-
enous to Great Britain. Apricots are indig-

much opposition. 1t was prophesied that
such structure must fall by its own weight
nearly 100000 pounds, that it could not
resist the pressure Of heavy wind storms and,
finally, that if il proved stable the great mass
of iron would magnetic everything in Paris.
NJ. Eiffel met all these objections by going
ahead and building his tower, which is pro-
uounced perfectly safe, and visitors to this
feature of the exposition need not fear to
make the ascent No one can fall ont of the
elevators or off the stairways, and every part
of the structure is protected from lightning.
To give some conception of this tremendous
structure, 1000 feet in height and dwarfng
everything around it into absolute insignifi-
canoe, Golden Days, from which the cut is
reproduced, describes it as follows:
The Seine, at its base, looks like a very small
gutter along footpath, the gilt dome of the
Invalides resembles a pin cushion, and the
Trocadero, opposite, IS only visible because it
stands on @ hill. This wonderful tower is of
cast iron, of pyramidal form, and the ex-
IRENE height is 900 feet It rests on four
pillars, which are 800 feet apart, and the arch
has height of 16l feet.
The first story Is 1872 feet from the ground,
and GAS a gallery n feet wide, where cafes,
restaurants ana waiting rooms nave Deen
fitted up. The second story is $50 feet from
the ground, and there is another gallery, so
feet wide. From this point the tower mar
rows more rapidly, and runs up to what looks
like small point from the ground below;
but there is room enough in the balcony and
cupola for hundreds of people to stand and
look, not only all over Paris, but for a dis
lance of ninety miles in any direction. Access
to the first gallery is had by four elevators.
From this landing the visitor may either go
the top of the tower by the elevators or walk
Up by one of the four stairways.

Take Your Choice.

There are two very ancient poems concern
ing feminine whistlers, and as they are of
diametrically opposite opinions everybody
can be satisfied with the one OF the other.
The first runs:
Whistling girls and growing hens
Always come to some bad ends.
The other is more charitable:
Whistling girls and bleating sheep
Are the best property man can keep.

The following poem occurs in Sake Holme!

as ''Draxyis Hymn"

Some way to help, some way to show
Me to the thing long for so.

It looks so sweet, it looks SO dear.
Dear Lord" pray, "Oh, let me know
If it is wrong to want it So"
He only smiles-He does not speak;
My heart grows weaker and more weak
With looking at the thing so dear,
Which lies SO far and yet so near.
Now, Lord, / leave at thy loved feet
This thing that looks SO near, so sweet;
will not seek will not long
I almost fear have been wrong.
I'll go and work the harder, Lord,
And wait till by some loud, clear word,
Thou callest me TO Thy loved feet,
To take this thing SO dear, so sweet.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled TO ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes inev-

strength Of the body sufices to enable 1t to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases 2 little aid to the weakened
Lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years Of useful life.
