Emblems of the Apostles.

The medieval artists, having no idea
of the personal appearance of the Sa-
viours followers, adopted set of signs,
or emblems, for each, which soon be-
came familiar to all. The emblem Of
Peter was either large key or two keys
crossed, which is readily explained by
referring to the words of Christ (Matthew
xvi, 1917, "And I viii give unto thee the
keys of the kingdom of heaven" The
emblem of Paul was sword and book
the latter to remind the beholder that
he was teacher of men; the former to
indicate that he was beheaded with a
sword. st. Andrew was usually figured
standing by cross shaped like letter
x, that being the form of the cross upon
which legend says he was crucified. The
emblem of st. James the Great was
either a sword referring to the fact that
he was also beheaded-or a pilgrims
staff, he being great traveller.
st. Johns emblem was a caldron, re-
ferring to his experience in the boiling
oil. ST. Philips emblem is an enigma
It was spear and cross, yet it is
known that he was hanged. st. Bar
tholomew, who was ''fayed alive" is
represented with a knife and his skin
hanging over his arm. Matthew's en-
blem is square, supposed to have some
reference to Christ's calling. st. Thomas.
having been pierced with dart" is
pictured carrying spear. The emblem
of James the Less was club, he hav-
ing been 6beaten to death with fag-
got;" st. Matthias an AK, he having
been beheaded. Simon's emblem was a
saw. The legend says che was sawn
asunder. st. Louis Republic.

Gem pedd1ers Of Cev,on.

I was sitting one afternoon on the
beautiful wide yeranda of the Gale Face
hotel, Colombo, in Ceylon.
A light hand touched my shoulder, and
barefooted Cingalese stood before me-
Would you like to buy some stonesy
he asked in his pleasant voice.
These peddlers Of gems are very nu.
merous in Ceylon and threaten to become
nuisance to the traveller. They are mol
allowed to enter the hotels, and once
saw one of them actually beaten out Of
the Oriental in Columbo. Hence itwas
that before addressing me my Cingalese
friend glanced furtively up and down
the long veranda to see that he was un.
observed by the minions Of the hotel.
He took from beneath his blouse /,
bundle of white cloth, which he opened
displaying about q pint of rubies, car
buncles, moonstones and cats eyes. A,
/ had nothing to do, looked through
them, after explaining to the sable mer
chant that had no intention of buying
The collection must have been worth
many thousands of dollars, judging b,
individual specimens, but apart from hill
merchandise the barefooted vender. cos,
tune and all, might have been assessed
at about 8 shillings. Donahoe's Maya,

Loneliness of the Pacific.

In the simmer of 1850 1 left San Fran.
SEQ on a sail vessel formerly from Bal
.nore) for Panama, distance 1900 miles,
and on the entire route, which lasted IS
days, we never saw sail Loneliness is
no word for it, especially when we lay
becalmed In the tropics, with our vessel
floating as helplessly about as chip on
mill pond, the ground swell keeping up
the monotonous roll of the vessel from
side to side all day and night and day
after day, each roll being accompanied
by flap of the sails and creaking OF
the rigging that might have passed for
the flap of the wings and the wall Of lost
spirits.
When we read about Noah and his ark.
we are apt to think that he must have
had rather lonely time, but then he
was out only 40 days, and besides, with
all the animals, etc., on board, he had
plenty to occupy his time and attention
and if he wanted amusement to while
away the time he had only to start a
sparring match between his monkeys
and parrots. True, there is no report of
any such proceeding on his part, but
that is doubtless because there was no
modern newspaper reporter on board. ]
tell you man cannot realize what lone
illness or discomfort is until he has made
some such trip, and if he wants to com
plete his education in that line he should
preface it with a tramp Of 1000 miles
over the mountains and across the deserts
amid wolves and wild Indians, as thou

Doctorine En- nIasse.

Today in England, at Harrow, the
boys are doctored en- masse. Each one
is served with two grains of quinine at
morning and night as safeguard against
the influenza. The drug is administered
after prayers, and the ceremony has thus
q double solemnity. As the boys go out
in single file they are met by the matron,
who gives each one his choice of powder
or pill. The choice made. the drug is
swallowed and SO the line is gradually
shortened. st. Louis Republic.

Persian Pecnliarities.

Persia has been described as consist
ing Of two parts-one, desert with salt;
two, desert without salt" This is
rather an exaggeration, but the general
appearance of the country is extremely
barren. Where irrigation is carried on
this wilderness is made to blossom like
. rose" The low houses of Persian
cities are built Of unburned, implanted
brick and lave no windows on the
street. They are usually more inviting
within than without. San Francisco

THE LILY AND THE LOTUS.
There grew a flower in Babylon

There grew flower in Babylon
Whose perfume makes young lovers weep
On 1t Assyrian moonlight shone;
Euphrates murmured 1t to sleep.
It brings back old forgotten dreams;
Its petals breathe dead loves kiss.
Astarte bathed it in her beams
In the gardens of Semiramis.
But Egypt has a sweeter bloom
The lotus of forgetful breath;
Swathed and embalmed in spiced gloom,
The sad Nile sobbed its dreams to death.
IT soothes remembered loves to rest
AS quiet asdeath's waxen lid.
They laid it on Nitocris' breast
Beneath her silent pyramid.
