Altar Decoration for Lent and Easter.

els. are well known; but the purple
hangings for Ash Wednesday, with lichen
covered branches hung with the funereal
Spanish moss, would be novelty in church
decoration. We give two examples of
these decorations. The Easter altar front
is made of white cloth with Greek cross
composed entirely of spring fowers-prim-
roses, cowslips and others.
The vases are made of appliqued white
satin, and are left open at the top, so that
the stalk of real lily may be inserted.
The lettering of the text, 'The first fruits
of them that slept" is done with small
purple violets, and in the panels below are
prettily arranged designs of trailing ar
butus, tackled on to the white cloth.
The purple Lenten altar cloth has the
cross of light Parma violets, which with
the long gray Spanish moss formed very
good contrast.

Hardships of the Fourth Fremont
Expedition

The Century printed posthumous
account by survivor of tile fourth ex-
pedition of General Fremont. The
scene is Ia the neighborhood of the
Rio Grande del Norte The writer
Micaiah McGehee of Mississippi. thus
described the effect of the cold upon
the animals.
The farther we went the more OBJ
stacles we had To encounter; difficult
ties beset us so thickly ON every hand
as we advanced that they threatened 10
thwart our eNpedition. The snow be-
came deeper daily and to advance was
but adding dangers to difficulties
About one-ibiftl of the men were al
ready more or less frost-bitten. every
night some of the mules would freeze
to death. and every day as many more
would give out from exhaustion and he
left on the trail. 1t seemed like fight
ing fate to attempt to proceed. but
we were bent ON our course. and con-
tinued to advance. AT one time men
were sent ahead to report the pros
peet. aud returned stating that grass
appeared in the distance before them;
they supposed that the snow was abat-
ing. but or coming up what they saw
proved to be The tops of bushes six feet
high projecting above the snow; nor
did anything appear upon which the
animals could subsist. The corn we
had packed along for them was al
ready consumed. Sometimes we would
attempt to move on. and the severity
of the weather would force us back
into camp. In one of these attempts,
before we could beat our way half
mile against the tempest, our guide,
Old Bill Williams, was nearly frozen;
he dropped down upon his mule in a
stupor aud was nearly senseless when
we got into camp. A number of men
came in with their noses. ears. faces
fingers, and feet partly frozen, and
one or two of the mules dropped down
and froze to death under their packs.
Poor mules, il was pitiabl. to see
theml They would roam about all
night, generally, en- account of their
extreme weakness. following back the
path of the previous day. paving in
snow three or four feet deep for some
sign of vegetation to keep them alive
They would fall down every fifty yards
under their packs, and we would. have
to unpack them and lift them up. and
that with fingers frozen and lacerated
by the cold. Finally they began eat
ing the ropes and rawhiIes iariats with
which they were tied, until there were
no more left in camp TO tie them with;
then they ate the blankets which we
tied over them at night; then they
came into camp and ate the pads aud
rigging off the pack saddles, and ate
one auother's names and. tails entirely
bare, even into the flesh, aud would
come to us while sleeping and begin to
eat the blankets off ny; they would
even tumble into our fires. over the
cooking utensils. But poor things.
little relief could we afford them, for,
although they suffered much we were
in no better condition.

BILE to you as if you were paralyzed.

rhe value OF commas.

Natures True Tonic.

One of the advantages of light gym

is that the sick and convalescent can
make what appear to be triiling
efforts, and by them. in time. be re-
stored to active health. If too feeble
to be practically able to make but little
exertion. try what are known as deep
breathing movements. Lie fiat upor

breaths as possible, and while the
mouth is closed. slowly throw the
arms up in front and then at the sides.
Rest for ten minutes. Try again the
same inhalation and exhalation of air.
the latter being pure and fresh. After
while. attempt the same. sitting up.
These exercises can safely be taken by
the sick one every day. several times.
and the whole muscular system will be
improved. just as if some reviving
tonic had been given, far better one
than any charged with alcohol or some
like stimulant.

What to Do When Starving.

A survivor of the hardships of Fre-
mont's terrible four expeditions writes
as follows in n posthumous narrative
of the expedition printed in the
Century. in which he more than hints
at the fact of cannibalism.
1t was curious to hear different men
tell of the workings of the mind when
they are starving. Some were con-
stantly dreaming or imagining that
they saw before them bountiful feast,
and would make selections of different
dishes. Others engaged their minds
with other thoughts. For my part, l
kept my mind amused by entering
continually into all the minuti@ of
farming. or of some other systematic
business which would keep up a train
of thought, or by working mental
solution of mathematical problems
bringing in review the rudiments of
some science. or by laying out plans
for the future, all having a connection
with home and after life. So in this
way never allowing myself to think
upon the hopelessness of our condition,
yet always keeping my eyes open to
every chance, | kept hope alive and
never once suffered myself to despond.
And to this course l greatly attribute
my support. for there were stronger
men who. by worrying themselves,
doubtless FASTENED their death. Ten
out of our party of thirty-three that
entered the mountains had persisted.
and few days more would have
finished the others.

An Indian Challenge.

Two tribes of Indians in the upper
part of California had as boundary be-
tween their districts. low ridge
where the streams headed. If you
should go to where one of these
streams, Potter River. rises. you would
see still standing a tall pile of stones
beside neyer-failing spring; on one
side of this cairn was the territory of
the Pomo Indians, and on the other
the land of the Chumaia. These tribes
were enemies, and were often at war.
Wien the Chumaia wished to chal-
leuge the others to battle. they took
three little sticks. cut notches round
their ends and in the middle. tied them
at the ends into a faggot. and laid it
on this cairn. If the Pomos accepted
the challenge. they tied string around
the middle of the three sticks and left
them in their place. Then agents of
both tribes met on neutral ground and
arranged the time and place of battle.
which took place accordingly. Ernest

suppose once they had roofs but now
they have ali fallen to pieces. First
we went TO the big room where the
king sat and sentenced the people.
Parts of the pillars were yet standing
and between each one was a little
basin cut out of stones. Up at the end
OF the room was the seat Of the King.
Near the seat were some stairs which
led into n prison. We descended these
stairs. II WIS little room with two
holes Mt the top through which the
King told the poor creatures down
there what he was going to do with

the room where the King sa) was very
long and had about twenty pillars in
1t. They were all made of marble; not
very clean and bright now but then
wien IL was new ii must have been
beautiful. We saw some little wine
shops and oil shops. The sign of the
oil shops was cut in the stone outside.
The sign was two men carrying big
jar OF oil between them ON !. stick
which they carried on the shoulder.
The wineshops did not have any sign /

just alike. At one end OF the room was
a long marble table with i've round
holes at the top ! went to see what
the holes were and saw a great big jug
sunk in the earth reaching up 10 the
holes In the jugs they put the oil and
wine which they sold. The streets
were quite narrow; bat think the
Bazars were still narrower which we
saw ia Cairo. There were some beau
tiful mosaic fountains with little bits OF
steps leading up to them for the water
to fall down on. After looking ut some
,tiins we entered the Forum which
had six streets leading into ii. They
eou3d block the streets up so riders
aud carriages could not go through il
they wanted to. We ate our lunch in
the garden OF Diometles and in his cell
lar were found he bones of eighteen
women and children with bread and
other things to eat.--LacY Morris Els
