A Holy Oil.
Edlnburgh Review.

The love of the marvellous in the thr-
teenth century was not less remarkable In
this age than in those which had preceded
it. In the old French account we read of
new wonders in Palestine not mentioned be-
fore, and OF the Sinai Convent we learn that
There lies Saint Catherine, virgin and
martyr. in very fair marble tomb, which
tomb is so holy that a sort of oil from it
heals many ills. and the grace of God is
shown, in that many wild beasts, which are
on that mountain, 1--we on nothing save by
licking the tomb Of my lady Saint Cath
crime, and by the mama which falls on the
mountain"
At ToTtosa also was now shown st. Luke's
portrait of Our Lady, and at Sardenai,
Syriac N monastery on a rock north of Demas-
Gus, was the miraculous image Of the Virgin,
which distilled oil from its breast. By
special treaty the Templars were allowed TO
visit the shrine and collect the oil, which
was in high repute and sold for a great
price in Europe. 1t is often mentioned In
the inventories of churches in France as one
of the treasures of the church.

A MAINE EXPLORER.
The Dreary Tramp He Has Over the

&1bOh
skowhegan special to Lewiston JournaL
II you were away up in the Maine wilder
ness these days, way up in the lumber
regions far from the permanent abodes of
men, where the SHOWS lie deep upon the
ground and the pines and hemlocks sway
and creak under the winter blasts, perchance
you might see sturdy form stalking over
the landscape.
Upon his feet you would see good snow
shoes of moosehide, upon his form the pic
turesque and highly colored raiment of the
woodsman of the present day. At his hip
and in belt you would find sharp Ratchet,
upon his back a blanket, at his girdle a
blackened coffee pot, and some where about
him you could discover some dried meat,
some crackers and tea, tin box filled with
matches, a pocket-c0mpaSs instead of a
watch, map, pencil and notebook. If
you should follow him you would soon learn
that he studied the growth of timber as he
passed, marked well the course OF each
brook and stream, and now and then con-
suited his map or made some notes. When
the shades of night fell you would see him
seek the lee OF ledge or blowdown, where
lie would build fire, over which he would
hang his blackened coffeepOt, wherein he
had placed gOodly allowance of the herb
OF BOhea.
Then he would collect some wood for the
night, take off his snowshOes and then par
take VI II lTuB al meal. OuL WOuiu come the
plpo after this, and as be smoked lie would
dig in the snow with q snUwshoe grave
ike place, and in this he would spread the
blanket. After the pipe was exhausted there
would be built brisk fire OF fresh wood, ana
then the stranger would drop down into the
snow. pull the blanket around him and soon,
far from the haunts of man. glide away into
that sweet sleep that only comes to strong
and robust men worn by fatigue. You would,
of course, know the man was an explorer.
And you would understand that his mission
was to learn of the wild lands over which he
travelled, the value of the growth of timber
and the opportunities of getting it. and that
somewhere in the city the owner of those
wild lands awaited his report. on which, at
later date, stumpage price would be based.
You would understand that endurance intel
ligence. accuracy and good judgment were
essential factors in the makeup of the ex-
rlorer, and you would admire the pluck that
sent him on such mission into such dense
solitude.

MILSAPS' LATEST.
He Had to Give a Baby to
the Lord.
A Soldier of the Salvation Army Dedi-
Gates His Offspring to the Ruler
of the Universe.

Captain Milsaps Of the Salvation Army,
the editor of the War Cry, had big Job on
his hands last night.
He was standing on the platform of the
ShelteTing Arms station on the corner of
Sacramento and Kearny streets and was
holding up lusty three-m onths-old baby
boy, to The admiration of whole house full
of people.
The baby did not enjoy the situation and
made vigorous infantile protest against
being put on exhibition, but although Cap
tain Mllsaps himself looked as If he wished
he was through with his job, he carried out
the programme to the end.
To the right of the captain stood baby's
mother. and to his left Timothy Harrigan,
alias Frank Mcdonald, formerly a noted
burglar, but now a converted soldier in the
Salvation Army, who is the father of the
boy who was in Captain Misaps' arms.
The parents, who were married a little
over year ago in the old Adelph Theater
barracks Of the army. were about TO dedi-
cate their offspring to the Lord, and the
captain was performing that duty for them.
In plain but earnest language he gave this
child TO the Ruler of all destinies. dwelling
but lightly on the past history of its father,
but hoping that young Frank, as the baby
has been named, would grow up and become
an ornament to Chris tianty.
Proud ana happy, the young mother spoke
words Of joy after Captain Milsaps' address,
and declared that she considered it a divine
blessing to be able 10 give her child, all she
had in this world, to her Savior.
Harrigan himself, who has earned the
title Of THE Jolly Irish Boy since he
joined the army, had few words to say
about the transaction which was taking
place
He wanted it distinctly understood that
he would be contented to see his boy march
IN the ranks of the army. which has saved
his father rather than see him President of
the United States or King of Timbuctoo.
Happy Harrington might have said more,
but his oratory was curtuiled by little Frank
himself, who evidently was getting tired of
the whole business, because he set up such
howl as to make his withdrawal from pub
lie view necessity.
For the rest of the evening, while all the
other people on the platform were busy
with the meeting, the juvenile star of the
evening occupied a quiet corner behind the
piano. wrapped IN innocent slumber.
And all the red-shirted men as well as
the poke-bonneted lasSies present cast
envous glances at Timothy and his UuXom
wife because they we've the only ones who
had baby 10 give to the Lord.

THE PACKARD ARRIVES.

with general light weather throughout. On
January the British ship Firth of Gro
marty was spoken in latitude 43 deg. q
min. south, longitude 81 west.
The Packard carries large general cargo.
and will proceed to discharge as soon as
berth can be had. Two other vessels of the
clipper line are now in port, the Emily Reed
and the T. F. Cakes.
The Packard is one of Grace & Co.'s COM
poting fast clippers, which will carry freight
around Cape Horn at very much reduced
rates, and her arrival has been expected for
several days, she being as a matter of fact
somewhat overdue on account of the heavy
weather she encountered during part of her
voyage.
The miscellaneous cargo she brings is an
evidence Of how eager Eastern shippers are
to avail themselves of cheap transportation
lines to San Francisco.
There are now four other vessels of this
line en- route from New York to this civ.
and one other from Philadelphia, all of
which carry full cargoes, ana will arrive
here in due time.
The big trade Of the clipper ships in no
manner lnterferes with the North American
Navigation COmpany's isthmus steamers,
the nature of their carg0es being entirely
different from that carried by the latter.
