Mass on Mount Blanc.

An interesting event in the history
OF mountain climbing and in the rec.
ord of Christianity as well was the re
cent celebration of mass on the summit
of Mount Blanc. This unique religious
venture was undertaken by Rev. Jean
BONN, the parish priest of St. Didier,
who, with three companions, two OF
them priests, and with three guides
left Courmayeur in Piedmont, and
assembled the historic mountain, bear
ing with them an altar consecrated by
the archbishop Of Turin for the pur-
pose. They started one Wednesday
evening, but were overtaken by bad
weather and compelled to pass the
night at the last shelter. The follow
ing day they reached the summit, cele-
brated mass, and returned to Cour-
mayeur by 1880 o'clock the same
evening.

Old Holland Fortifications.

With very few exceptions the old
cities of Belgium and Holland have
leveled the walls which have played
such grand parts in the national his.
tories, and they are converted into
promenades after the manner OF
Chester and York. The walls of Ant
werp and Malines have been replaced
by boulevards. The old bastions OF
Amster dam still remain, but the

Il Strange Island.

Christmas island is one of the most
interesting in the world. 1t is two
hundred miles from Java and consists
largely of coral, which rests on vol
canic foundation. The coral forms
almost inaccessible cliffs, covered with
luxuriant vegetation. In the day it
swarms with huge crabs and at night
with rats. Man could not live on the
island, as it does not possess fresh
water, the rain sinking into the rock.

A traveller who is too modest to allow his
name to be made public declares that he
has discovered the origin of the waltz
Neither America nor Europe possesses the
honor of being tho birthplace of this dance,
which, like many other wonderful things,
comes from Africa-at least so says our
traveller. He assures US in solemn earnest
that every morning at sunrise the ostriches
SOLICIT in groups and go through regular
and graceful movements, which is nothing
other than the waltz. Unfortunately he
does not complete his information by tell
ing us whether tho birds dance the Ameri-
Fan, English or German style, SO we are
left in ignorance as to which form is the
most primitive. He also loses sight OF the
TACT that instead of the colonists having
earned the waltz from the ostriches they
may have relieved the monotony of their
existence by teaching the birds to dance

Some years ago, in an article on "The
Cradle OF the Semites," had occasion to
study the ideals Of male and female beauty
ihadowed forth In the erotic composition
known az the Song of Songs" or the
"Song of Solomon" in the Old Testament
It dates from about $50 B. @. There the
male is portrayed as white and ruddy,'
his hair black and curly, his eyes gray
t''like doves washed with milky. his
stature tall. He describes his bride as
flair all over, without spot" slender,
"like palm tree" mot fat, ms modern
oriental beauties), her hair las flock Of
goats" that is, wavy and light brown,
probably, her lips red, like thread Of
scarlet"
The interesting feature in both these
descriptions is that they point much more
to the blonde than to the brunette type as
that which lowered before the imagination
Of the sons and daughters Of Israel as the
realization Of their amorous dreams.-Cor
