THE HEBREW HELL.

It Bears Seven Names E,ch of Wh oh
 Has special Sixnifcan 6.
 Tho namos of hell in Hebrew are, ac cording to Q rabbinic commentator. seven. It is called Abaddon, or De. struction, according to Joshua ben Levi, in the passage: Shall Thy loving kindness be declared in the grave or Thy faithfulness in destruction?' (Psalm, lxxxviii, ll.) Tsalmaveth, or the shadow of Death, in ''such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death" |" (Psalm evil, 10) Sheol, in the com mencement of the lamentation of the Prophet Jonah, whom he says: Out of the belly of hell [Sheol] cried l." (Jonah li., 2,) Shachath or Bir Shachath, corruption of the woll of corruption, in ''neithor wilt Thou suffer thine holy one to sec corruplion;" Psalm xvi, 10) For Shaon, the cistern of sound that is, the sound of tho echoes in it's hollow vastness, in "IIe brought mo up also out horrible pit" (Psalm xl, 3.) These last two words, having the marginal annotation Hobrew pit of tumult, arc interpreted "a cistern of sound' by Joshua ben Levi. Tit Hayyaven, or mire of clay, as in the continuation of tho preceding passage, ''out of the miry clay" and Eretz Tachtith, the lower land, or the "ncther parts of the earth" Ezekiel, xxi, 1s.) To these may be added Topheth. Emek Habbacha, the valley of weeping, or Bacha, or balsam, or mulberry, (Psalm lxxxiv., 7.) and Alukah, tho horse leech or the vam- piro. (Provcrbs, XXX. 15.)
 All these names seem to indicate hell in it's primary sonse of Hades-the covered or unseen world--not he'll in it's proper intendmcnt of a place of tor mont. The common word for hell in this latter signification is Gehinnom. Gehinnom, the valley of IIinnom, or Ge-ben-IIlnnom, tho valley of the son of Hinnom-for 1t bears both these names 1 in Joshua, who mentions 1t in his de- scription of the borders of the tribe of Judah-was, says Rabbi David Kimchi or Radak, as he is commonly called, from the first letters in his name, place in the land lying near Jerusalem, and tho placo was contemptible. and people cast their carcasses and pollutions, ''and there was thore fro to perpetu. ally burn their pollutions and their bones." (Second Kings, xiii, 1G) Therefore, by way of simile, says Radak. tho placo of judgment of the wicked was called Gehinnom. Elias Lcvita, in his celebrated "Tishbi, ' says tho rabbis called the place of pun ishment of the wicked after death, Ge, hianon, because the valley of the son of Hinnom. lying near Jerusalem, was a place bofouled, where children were burned in honor of Moloch. ; Century.

They Were So Happy.

They were young lovers, and as they strolled through the ramble in Central Park the future looked very bright and pleasant to them.

'I can tell by it's bark, my darl- ing" and then policeman ordered them of the grass, and they were very, very happy.
 IT IS very seldom that request for . patent is refused to Scottish applicant, and when it is the reason almost inva- riably is that the idea has already been patented. One of the earliest Scotch inventors in this country was old Hugh Orr, a Lcchwinnoch man, who had a foundry at Bridgewater, Mass, during the revolutionary times. He was we'll known in his lifetime to Washington and the other American leaders, as from his foundry came most of their iron and brass cannon.

Flute.Playing for Ladies.

] A lady correspondent of daily paper urges the importance of flute-playing for women as a means of health and bodily development. She argues that the art of filling" flute, blowing into it, necessitates lung expansion. The continued daily practice begets deeper and deeper inspirations, old adhesions to the chest walls are broken up and ab- sorbed, stooping shoulders become thrown back, the chest contracted by the habit of tight lacing becomes ex. banded and broadened, and the blood from the more frequent and increased supply of oxygen courses in the vessels with moro force. Renewed activities in construction result everywhere, nu triton is improved and bodily health is invigOrated.

Interesting Observations Made by Prom.
 inent French Physician.
 The fact that certain spots constitute apparent foci for the spread of cancerous disease has orc now beon noted, though VIC arc still completely in the dark IS to tho causes which undcrlio these vaga. rics of distribution. It is. however, only ly systematic close observation that wo can hope to solve tho enigma, and acquire the knowledge which alone will enable us to check tho ravages of Q tcrrille and iniplacablo disease. Some observations made by Dr. Arnaudet in the littlo village of St. Sylvcstrc de Comedies, in Normandy, are interest ing in this respect The village only numbers some 400 inhabitants, but among thcm tho deaths from cancer arc four tim"s moro numerous than at Paris C4.SS as compared with 4.l6 per l 0 deaths). In tho course of this inquiry into tho causes of this sprcial mortality, Dr. Arnaudet discovered that there were certain ''canccr nests which tho theory of contagion could nlono explain. Tho water supply of these people is drawn almost exclusively from surface ponds; but he observes tl; t very little water is diu3l;, though it is used in tho manu- fac.ure oi cider. lo shows on chart that tho lnalady developed itself sue. ces, lively aliag line corresponding to the water supply supplying the ponds, and ho is evidently strongly inclined to attribute the outbreak to the water, or sccondarily, to the cider He subse qucntly extended his observations te four noighborins communes. in all o which tho proportion of deaths iron cancer was largely in excess of the nor nal rate.

THE DRExeC BROTHERS.
Q9eh Gossips About Phlladelphia's Multi l Millionaire Bankers.

0o4h G0ssips About Philadetphisb Multi- r. Millionaire Bankers.
 ! The house of Drexel arose in Phila- delphia somewhat earlier than that of Jay Cooke, commencing with Tyrolese artist who painted pictures and shaved notes and currency. Upon careful foundations, writes "Gath" Tn the Gin cinnati Enquirer, he raised a house which at the decay of Jay Cooke seized upon many great occasions and, drawing in such men as Mir. Mcrgan, of New En. gland, began to play vast intermediate part between railroads and investment and general financial directions. The fortunes of the three Drexel brothers, though not as large as some fortunes in New York City, have been in the aggre- gate probably s25, ,OOO,OOO to sc. 900. These bankers were wise in drawing young blood into their departments and buying experience as princes formerly bought great military commanders. The Drexels have recently absorbed the Stock Exchange of Philadelphia into their huge marble block which they have put up on Chestnut street op- posite the old Hall of Congress, and be- tween that and the Bank of the United States, which still stands and is the American custom-house. A portion of that ground was covered by the Phila- delphia library which Franklin founded and before which his statue stood. know of no American city where the lawyers offices seem to extend so many miles as in Philadelphia; they commence down by the old and now effete Stock Exchange on Third street and can be followed up Walnut street nearly to Broad. The civil war finding Phnadel- phia far out upon its frontier, since Baltimore sulked at the recovery of the Union, electrified the former city, ab- sorbed all it's functions, and hence to the present day the politics of Pennsylvania is as much directed by the war on the one side as the politics of Virginia by the opposite side.

Opposed to False Teeth.

A singular runaway is reported from South Brooklyn, N. Y. A woman named Gildorsleeve, who had lived with her husband for over thirty years and had borne him four sons, some of whom have attained manhood, has left her home because, as she states in letter. her husband had not furnished her means to properly clothe herself and had refused to give her the money to have her teeth attended to. She there- fore secured a position at 814 a month, and with her earnings for year she said that she proposed to: have her teeth properly cared for, and with the balance to buy clothes to last her during life. Then, if her husband would receive her, she intended to return to him, as she loved him. Mir. Gildersleeve has searched in vain for his wife; says he provided literally for her and furnished her horse, but did not approve of her having false teeth.

POLITENESS IN COREA.

Peculiar Experience of an American Lady hs in Seoul.
 The natives in the East who have be. come familiar with foreigners and their customs take very readily to the custom of calling-and eating-on New Years day, and one lady had very peculiar ex- perience with native official in Seoul last year.
 She was keeping ''open house," and had made some preparation for receiv, ing her guests in the proper manner. Among other things, she had prepared with her own hands a very excellent cake, which she expected to distribute in little bits to all who might favor her with call. A party of native gentle men arrived, and, having given one of them cup of tea, she placed this fine cake before him with an invitation to help himself. She then went with the others to another room, and was gone some time. When she returned she saw had all but disappeared down the throat of the poor fellow, who had tried his best to do the polite thing-according to his country's customs-and not leave any of the food set before him, thus showing his appreciation of the hosts table and hospitality. The ladys vexa- tion was vanished by feeling of com miseration for the miserable man, who seemed to be very much in need of an emetic just then. It is said this call was his first and last on that day, as he de- clared to friend that foreigners must be all stomach if they could go from house to house and do justice to the hos. pitality of each.
