THE CASPIAN CHANGING ITS LEVEL.

At the Beginning of the Christian Era II
Was Level with the Ocean.
The Caspian sea lies eighty-five feet
below the level of the Black sea, and is
the greatest body of water in the world
lying below the sea level. 1t is remark
able not only for this fact, but for the
changes that have occurred in its level
About the First century of our era there
is no doubt that the level of the sea
stood eighty-five feet above its present
horizon, and of course spread over a
vastly more extensive area than at
present. The Russian Geographical
society has printed a treatise, written
by N. NJ. Philipof, on these remarkable
changes of level. Since the early part
of the Christian era a general and grad
ual decline of the level of the sea has
taken place.
In the Eighteenth century, however,
there appear to have been a few
periods when the level rose. From the
beginning of the present century there
has been fall, but since 1865, Judging
from recent observations, the level has
been higher Lieutenant Sokolof. a
naval officer, while working in the Cas-
plan region from 1S43 to 1S4S collected
much information. He found that in
the present century the level had stead
LILY fallen, just as in the last century it
had risen, causing great apprehension
among the inhabitants of an inunda-
ton and giving rise to the belief in
periodical variations every thirteen
years.
Lerch. while in Baku in 1874 and
l747, found submerged buildings which
had stood on dry land thirty years be-
fore, and he mentions a saying of the
Persians that the sea rose and fell al
.ernately every thirty years.

NEWPORT, May 2.-Newport is to have
a sensation this summer. 1t is authenti-
cally stated that the beautiful and ceebra-
ted daughters of Lord Dufferin, Beatrice
and Adelaine are to grace this famous re-
ort with their presence this coming sea-
son. 1t will be remembered that Bea-
trice's beautiful dark eyes have played
havoc lately with the heart of Albert, the
eldest son of the Prince of Wales. What
it will amount TO. is yet matter of con-
lecture in England. The young ladies
are acknowledged to be the most beauti-
full in all Europe, and there will be not a
little excitement in the hearts of our
American bellies over their coming. They
are exquisite dressers and their costumes
will be marvels of curiosity.

SUNSET IN THE FOG.

The cold gray fog of the winter day
Held sea and land in thrall:
Silent the vessels al anchor lay:
n spell was over all.
The narrow lines of each vessel bound
The limit of their sphere;
Beyond was naught but world of sound
A world OF doubt and fear
From the yards the sails bedraggled hung
Bordered by drops of dew.
Feathcry mists from the halyards flung.
Like ghostly pennons flew;
While the masthead pierced the mis-.
gray
And vanished at the spars,
The ratlincs seen but step away
Were harrow prison bars.
But sudden golden glamour stole,
AS through a tiny seam;
1t spread till tho glory Lit the whole,
And hghtencd beam to beam
No shadow fell from the ray of light:
The wind and sea were still;
Twas then that the red sun sank from
sight
Behind the distant hill
We saw 1t not as the golden ray
Gave place to tints Of rose;
And the mists, no longer cold and gray,
About us seemed to close.
They closer grew as the rose light died.
The mists took on their frown,
And the gloom that came from either
side
Told that the sun was down.

PARIS, May 2-Further particulars have
been received here in regard to the labor
riot at FOumies yesterday, and show that
early last evening mob composed Of
about 1900 people carrying sticks and
armed with revolvers, surrounded the gen
darmes crying down with the masters
1'dea,h to the masters" Eve want oul
brethren" This last cry referred to the
meu arrested early in the day for intimda-
ton of those men who had refused to 90
out on strike.
The mob then attacked the town hall
and the gendarmes sent there to protect
that building fired their revolvers 10 the
air in order to trighten the rioters, but
without any effect. The troops with fixed
bayonets then charged the mob and drove
il away from the immediate neghborhood
of the town hall. The crowds, however,
after being driven backward, retaliated by
firing volleys of brick and pieces of paving
stones at the troops, frequently striking the
soldiers. After this proceeding the mob
reappeared with increased numbers and
made another attack upon the gendarmes
A fierce conflict took place between the
gendarmes and the rioters in the
rear of the church, during which
a number of the former were placed
hors du combat. A re,iment of infantry
was summoned 10 the scene of renewed
disorder, and an uproarious scene followed,
the crowds fighting hand-to-hand with the
police aud soldiers. Finally, upon the
rioters persisting in their refusal TO retire,
the soldiers fired, killing three people out
right and wounding a number of others.
The soldiers acted under their officers in-
structions, and in order to avoid the taxi
ing of life fired low, at the legs of the
people, with the result that many limb
OF the rioters has been amputated as one of
the results of the labor disturbances
After this severe lesson the mob fled and
all is comparatively quiet during the night.
To-day there is feeling of suppressed ex-
element throughout Foumies

why Some People Married.

The reasons that some men give for
having married some women are only
to be surpassed by the reasons some
women give for marrying some men.
There was the man who married his
wife because she was left handed, and
it amused him to see her sew with the
off hand, as he said. There was the
young woman who married her hus
band because he was fat, and was 30
handy to sit on her books of autumn
leaves in the fall and press them. Then
there was another woman, presumably
not SO young, who finally married the
man who had courted her faithfully
for eleven years, because, as she after
ward accounted for it, ''he had wore
his chair in their settin' room plumb
out settin' in it so many years, an
since the he'd to be a new one bought,
she thought 'tmight as we'll be fur
themselves, n on their own account"

Our lives would be better, our
thoughts nobler, our hearts larger, our
faith more real, our words more chair
table, if we would, once for all, learn the
lesson of the law and the prophets,
which is not to glide along the razor's
edge of scholastic dogmas, nor to wear
formulas threadbare by conventional
iteration, but to love God and to do
good to our neighbor.-Farrar.
