A FANCY OF DICKENS,

tures Haunted by Them.
There is leering giant over certain
chimney piece, and there are dozens of
giants Critans warning with Jove) on
the walls Of another room so inconceiva-
bly, ugly and grotesque that it is wonder
ful how any man can have imagined
such creatures. In the chamber in
which they abound, these monsters.
with swollen faces and cracked cheeks
and every kind Of distortion OF look and
limb, are depicted as staggering under
the weight of falling buildings and be.
ing overwhelmed in the ruins; upheav.
ing masses of rock and burying them
selves beneath; vainly striving to sus-
tain the pillars of heavy roofs that topple
down upon their heads, and, in a word,
undergoing and doing every kind Of mad
and demoniacal destruction. The figures
are immensely large and exaggerated to
the utmost pitch Of uncouthness; the
coloring is harsh and disagreeable, and
the whole effect more like, should i'm
agine, violent rush Of blood to the head
of the spectator than any real picture set
before him by the hand of an artist.
This aploplectic performance was
shown by a sickIy man, whose appear
ance was referable. dare say, to the bad
air of the marshes; but it was difficult
to help feeling as if she were too much
haunted by the giants, and they werG
frightening her to death, all alone in
that exhausted cistern of a palace
among the reeds and rushes, with the
mists lowering about outside, and stalk
ing round and round it continually.

A Handy Remedy for Alcoholism.

A writer in the London Ldncet directs
attention TO the fact that the most recent
remedy for alcoholism is petroleum or
paratfine oil, to which the notice of tho
st. Petersburg medical authorities was
called by an accident. 1t appears that IL
laboring man, who had been drinking
heavily for four days and nights, entered
in a complete state of intoxication a gro
GERS shop. Unnoticed by the shopkeeper
he staggered up to an open cask of pero-
leum and began drinking from it. With
difficulty he was dragged away from the.
cask, and, seeing the large quantity of
petroleum he imbibed, it was expected
that he would fall down senseless and he
seriously ill. Instead of this, however. it
is related that the petroleum had cured
him of all the i'll effects of .overdrinkipg,
the nausea, unsteadiness of gait, and head
ache disappearing as if by magic In
fact, it is stated he left the shop sober and
quite another man.

These traditions were to the effect,

In 1889 stones answering their descrip-

Journey ThrOuSh JermsaIrm.

1T was Just after the Greek Easter,
ure before a New York audience, "that
visited Palestine, and passed along the
road over the Plain of Sharon. | waa
told that 600 pilgrims had passed along
that road the week before on their visit
to Jerusalem, and that 5000 of them
were Russians. We saw many Of them.
and it was learned from them that a large
proportion had come from the vicinity
of Moscow" At length the city of Jeru
salem was reached, the Joppa gate being
the first sight of it which was shown.
Beside the gate sat a group of lepers,
such as have been wont to sit there since
the time of Christ "A Iepers' hospital
has been built" the professor said, :" in
the near vicinity, as one of the reflex in
f1uences of Christianity; a modern build
ing of brick and of considerable size, not
unlike many hospital buildings in this
country"
Plans of Jerusalem of ancient and
modern days were shown bv the lecturer,
and several pictures illustrating the EN-.
ployments of men and women there,
which have not changed much, it was said,
in 1000 years, Men were grinding corn
or wheat with the hand mills and the
women were carrying water.
The Russian government. Professor
Brickmore said, was apparently trying to
gain possession of Palestine 1t was
steadily extending its holdings in that
country The Russians build chapels
there for Russians to worship. in. Pur-
chases Of land are frequently made and
accommodations provided for Russian
pilgrims who visit the spots they consider
sacred in the Holy Land. One reason
assigned by some why the prosecuted
Jews in Russia did not go to Palestine
when driven from The domain of the
czar was that they had forseen the signs
of Russian strength in Palestine, and
feared to return to ,the land peculiarly
their own because that might mean SIM
ply repetition of the treatment they are
now receiving.
