Bellofs About Painting,

The earlier Christian writer's believed
that painting and sculpture were inter
dicted in the Scriptures. and were o n
sequently evil arts. 1t may be ques-
toned il this opinion did not have its
root in the idea Of primitive peoples that
the art Of drawing was an instrument OF
sorcery. by means Of which one ac-
quired the power to act upon a person.
Mussulmans still have q horror OF
images, and the Koran forbids having
ones portrait made and possessing any
image at all,

POISONED DISHES.
Whist w.r. Regarded Ia o,a.. nay. :.

what Wsrs Regarded In 0lden Days -
P~rsssrvstivss Against Poison.
When dishes are now served covered
Il 10 understood that 1t is merely for the
purpose Of keeping them warm. This
vas not, however, the principal Eea-
son why they were served COW
cred during the dark and middle ages.
1t was the fear that poison might be In
troduced into them surreptitiously be-
tween the cuisine and the table where
they were to be served to the kings, or
the lords, or even to persons Of inferior
rank. Tho overs were not removed
till the master OF the house had taken
his place. All dishes afterward served
were brought or the table In the same
manner. It was the custom originally
when the dishes were uncovered for
some Of the servants to first partake OF
them, but this custom was afterward In
part replaced by the servants touching
the food with one Of several objects
which were regarded as infallible pre-.
seryatives against poison. These objects
we're the horn of the unicorn, q serpent's
tongue, the fabulous stone found in the
head OF the toad, s%erpentine. agate, etc.
The first was considered the best, but Is
the unicorn never existed, its horn was
replaced by that OF the narwhal or by q
sharks tooth, which were sold by oil tho
druggists instead Of II and under its
name. Many persons kept q small piece
OF 1t at the bottom OF their drinking
glasses. Unicoln's horn was so rare
and precious that it was worth more
than ten times its weight In gold. 1t
was never proved that the stone alleged
to come from the head OF the toad had
that origin, and the druggists who sold
1t knew that what they vended was a
mineral dug out Of the earth, but this
did not prevent the fraud or put an end
to the superstition. In the time Of Louis
XIV. and Louis XIV. the faith In these
talismans had considerably weaked, but
all the dishes placed on the royal tables
were touched, AZ well as the plate, the
napkin, the knife, the fork and toothpicx
Of tho monarch, with o piece Of bread,
which the chief Of the goblet ut once
swallowed.

W11ps, although they may not recognize
them by this name. Our brother, the
editor of the paper referred to, says
that they ARE ON the jump in revival
times, but hide away the rest of the
year. When they get the power on
them, to see them shout, and eXhort,
and sing, and pray. one would think
that they were taking Heaven by storm;
and when the excitement dies out they
cease to hop about, and make no
further stir until the next years re-
ligious fervor puts renewed animation
into them" All this is too true There
are many who do nothing and manifest
little life at any any ether time than
during a revival Then they will be SO
much in earnest that they will complain
of those whose zeal does not burn as
brightly as their own. They forget that
while they have been dormant those of
whom they complain have been earnest
