A Wonderful Tree.

The wonderful redwood tree ship

The section Of the tree was taken
from mammoth forest In Tulnre

forest giant 3i2 feet in height, grow
ing at the altitude Of G,33j feet, and
was severed from the parent tree y

the tree measured 90 feet Ia circum-
ference. OF course the tree was con
siderably larger at the stump, but n
section from the base could not be

Hands that are soiled with dishonor, instead.

Bethesda's Pool.

A Washington special to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says: The
American Consul at Jerusalem, Mr..
Gilman, sends TO the State Depart
ment an account OF the recovery of
the famous Pool OF Bethesda. AS Is
well known. the Birket Israel has in
the past been considered as the site
OF the Bethesda, but the excavations
OF the Algerine monks under the ruins
in the rear o. the Crusader Church OF
ST. Anne have gradually transferred
opinion in favor OF the latt locality.
This was strengthened 10y the discov-
cry OF u rock-hewn pool containing
water beneath three successive struct-
ures Subsequent excavations re-
vealed the remains Of two tiers OF
five arched porches, the lower tier
being in the pool
The intelligent labors of the monks
who are i'm charge OF the property
have been further rewarded 10y the
recent recovery OF ano,her pool con-
tanning good supply OF water TO the
westward Of that first discovered, the
entire agreement with the descrip-
tious os the Bethesda aS given 10y the
fathers OF the Church and Christian
pilgrims and writers as early a. the
fourth century. The correspondence
in number OF the five porches 10 those
mentioned in the Gospel OF 81. John
will not escape notice. Steps cut in
the rock lead down into the water.
An ancient Christian church in
ruins surmountS the entire structure.
The remains Of the upper tier of
porches extend above the pool at
right angles from the north wall of
the crypt beneath the chursh, in
which the apse, at the east end,
though diiapidated, is still distinctly
defined.
On clearing away the debris that
choked the fifth porch westward ot
the apse all these discoveries culmi-
mated in revealing the remains of n
painting or freSco upon the plaster Of
the wall in the rear. The fresco rep.

carrier. A few days ago he secretly
secured bundle OF old love letters
that his mother had treasured since
the courtship days and distributed
them from house TO house through
out the neigbborbood. The sequel is
not related, but the probability Is
that this bright youth has no further
