costume of pink tights ana gauze skirts.
The skirt dance will also be given by eight
of the most shapely OF the coryphees
Another attractive feature will be the
introduction of some speciaIties BY Mr..

fell heavily with me. Fortunately my
feet came out of the stirrups and l suf-
fered from my contact with the side OF
the cliff only sprained hand. AT four
o'clock we reached the region called
,Suk TVddt Barada. at the outlet of a
pass in the midst of the most pictur-
esque:region in all the Lebanon. The
present village stands on the site of an
ancient town of the earliest Christian
times called Abila, capital of the dis
trict of Abilene, whose tetrarch, Lysa-
MAS, is spoken of by Evangelist Luke.
The remains of the old city are seen
in the rocks above the present village.
There are ruins of a temple and
number of graves cut in the rocks.
One of the graves bears the Moslem
tradition that here is the grave of
Abel, owing to confusion of the
name of Abila with HabH (AbeD. Hence
they call it Ka6r Habil-the grave of
Abel. Beyond the Suk Wadi Barada
begins highly romantic region. The
Barada rushes through deep gorge,
/ leaping from rock to rock, crossing a
stone bridge of one arch built by the
Romans. We were able to see on the
other side of the stream, higher up
than the present road, the remains of a
Roman road cut in the rocks. A Latin
inscription shows that the road
was built under Emperor Lucius
Verus 161-169 A. d. and Marcus
Aurelius Q61-1sO) at the expense of
the village of Abila. At the end Of
this wonderful gorge opens out tho
green plain of Zebedani, through which
| flows the Barada. On our left was
the steep Jebel Zebedani, on our
right the chief spur of the Anti
Lebanon range Jebel-es-Schaki. The
SUBMITS of both were snow-covered.
The sun set as we rode up the
Zebedani valley, and clouds of purple
and gold foated over the brilliant
SUBMITS of the snow-tipped mountains.
| We reached the village of Zebedani
at 7:30 and found lodgings at commo-
dious khan where beds were spread for
us upon the floor Tired to exhaustion
were we all with our rocky ride, yet
having enough energy left to play Mt
leap-frog for the entertainment of the
natives who gathered in crowds, some
to sell us queer-looking curved dag
gers, others drawn by sheer curiosity.
We dined according to the Syrian
fashion, seated La Turque, on the
floor, around circular table about
six inches high and three feet in diam.

To say that DR.. Kilmer is the leading ply

For over forty years he has devoted his life

its successful treatment. During that time,
he has personally examined, prescribed for
and successfully treated nearly half mil
lion patients. In treating so vast an army
of invalids it has enabled him to thor
oughly perfect, test and prove the merits of
his priceless prescriptions.

are about so feet high. The oldest
stand upon an elevation by them
selves; there are hardly a dozen of
them, whose age is reckoned at sew
eral thousand years. Here we are,
then, in the presence of these "Treea
of the Lord" whose praise was sung by
the Hebrew poets, to whom the right
eous man is likened, and whose peren-
nial green and fruitage in old age may
we'll be n symbol of the Immortality of
the good man. In recent times this
grove has been surrounded by wall,
in order to keep away the goats from
the young growth and and to protect
the trees from the natives who would
soon destroy them for frewood. Here
we are in the midst of the great source
of supply whence Hiram king of Tyre
drew those magnificent cedar beams
which entered into the construction
of Solomon's temple at Jerusalem.
These great logs were carried down
the mountain to the sea, thence made
up into floats and floated down to
Joppa, where they were carried forty
miles over plains and mountains to
Jerusalem. The trees that remain are
but few lonely survivors of the
splendid forests which anciently were
the glory of Lebanon. We carry away
with US few twigs bearing on them
the cones of these great "cedars."
The "French road from Damascus
to Beirut, by way of Baalbec and
Schtora, is a finely macadamized high
way, great contrast to the mule
paths over the rocks. Our ride from
Baalbec to Zahleh, where we were en-
tertained by Messrs. Hoslins and Jes-
sup, missionaries of the American
board. from Zahleh to Beirut was one
long to be remembered. The mission
aries accompanied us part of the way
on their splendid horses. We passed
frequently camels laden with telegraph
poles, going to Damascus. These poles
are strapped to each side of the an
imal, which strides along in front of
the driver, now moving to one side of
the road, now to another to crop bit
of grass, and with the obstacle in the
way of these sweeping poles, which
are bound to clear the road. A wagon
was swept over a precipice few
weeks before. DIR. X. and 1 could not
avoid letting out our horses on a
splendid bit of road. Just when we
were going like the wind we heard a

lage called Nebi Schil we lunched,
with the entire village as spectators.
Here my camera was brought into
requisition, and a fine snapshot was
taken of the motley group, who tum-
bled over each other scrambling for
sardine cans, orange peel and scraps
which we threw to them. Now we pro-
ceeded over another spur of the noun
tains, and at 4:30 we caught glimpse
of the columns of the wonderful runs
of Baalbec at the west foot of the
fruitful Bekaa valley and at the
west foot of the Anti-Lebanon range,
seventeen hundred meters above the
sea. In the midst of a luxuriant
growth of gardens and with the crys-
tai waters of the Litany (the ancient
Leontes) flowing through it, this spot
was well chosen as the site of city
and location for sanctuary.
Not stopping just now to consider
the marvellous ruins of Baalbec let us
push on long journey northward, to
visit the celebrated cedars of Lebanon.
Here we arrive at sort of bowl in the
mountains, 5000 feet above the sea
level, among the snow, and find a
noble grove of perhaps $50 trees which

Devotion of a Mother Hen.

In the western part of Massachusetts,
says the Churchman, a fire recently de-
stroyed a fine barn on a stock farm
and number of blooded horses and
cows perished in the flames. Soon after
the fire the owner, walking over the
ruins, came upon an object which
touched him more than the sight of
the charred bodies of his horses and
Jerseys. There sat an old black hen.
He wondered that she did not move
her head to look at him as he came
near her, but he thought she must be
asleep. He poled her with his cane,
and to his surprise the wing which he
touched fell into ashes. Then he knew
that she had been burned to death.
But out from under her came faint
little peep, and, pushing her aside with
his cane, the man found ten live yell
low chickens. The hen had sacrificed
her own life to save them.

CEDARS OF LEBANON.
Hardly a Dozen Trees OF the Old
Growth Are Left.
An Account of a Journey from Damascus
to the Famed Mountains of Lebanop,-
Ancient Roman Bridge In tho
Barada Valley.
Especial Damascus ,syria) Lettery


With great anticipations we seb our
faces toward the glorious heights of
the Lebanon. At ten o'clock we found
our horses waiting for us at the hotel
Dimitri. Jumping into the saddle and
bidding good-by to Damascus we cam
tered off on the fine road to Baalbec
and Beirut, built by the French. All
of us we've in excellent condition, the
horses included, and were soon beyond
the pearl of the Orient" with gar
dens, fountains, bazars and mosques.
At the village of Dummar, about one
hours ride, we turned to our right
from the French road Leaving the
valley of the limpid and rushing
Barada to our left, for two hours we
rode through a wild, rocky region
among the mountains. At length we
came again upon the valley of the Ba-
rada, whose presence was heralded
from afar by the deep cleft in the pre-
cipitous rocks, where the welcome
sight of foliage greeted us. Here we
had a beautiful ride. The trees and
the grass were rich in color, the river
could be heard rushing among the
rocks. Now and then beautiful mead
ows stretched before us.
In about thirty minutes, beyond the
village of Bessima, we reached spot
called El Fidsche, where the Barada
takes its rise, bursting with tremen-
dous volume from the earth-a remark
able sight. 1t must be the result Of
the melting SHOWS of Lebanon proceed
ing through the rocks and finding here
vent. Over this noble fountain are
the ruins of an ancient temple, proba-
bly, erected to the god of the fountain.
Here Fillipo, the guide, spread our
lunch-a romantic spot indeed. Cliffs
of reddish rock lowered aloft 1000 feet
on each side. In an unguarded mo-
ment Abdur's horse proceeded to de-
your loaf of bread which was too
great temptation for his hungry
stomach. The Arab yelled, seized the
unfortunate animal and beat him most
numerically. After lunch we moved
up the valley. In some places the road
was so narrow that we were crowded
right up against the fiat and jagged
sides of the cliff to allow a loaded
camel to pass us. AT q dangerous spot
my horse slipped, lost his footing and

from the tail to the hole. When this
is done cut away slip below the line
sufficient to have little canal, from
the hole to the tail, about the width of
pins head. Round off the corners
where the canal opens at the tail, cut
out an opening for the mouth and draw
in the eye and scales if you wish, and
we have very fine fish indeed" ex-
claimed Uncle Ned, holding it up for
inspection.
Now, we should have long, mar
row dish or tub" continued he, lin
order to give our fish plenty of room.
However, this basin of water will do.
If you will watch me closely you will
see that place the fish on its side upon
the water, so that the lower side will
touch the water at every point, and in
order to keep the other side perfectly
dry. There we have it. Now, if you
will watch the fish very closely you will
see that it shows no signs of moving.
In order to make it swim there is only
one thing necessary, and that is very
simple"
Uncle Ned then went to the dining
room and got something from it, adj
monlshing all to turn their heads
while he did something mysterious.
Then the children turned and watched
the fish intently. A moment passed;
then the fish moved gracefully away.
Can anyone tell me what makes it
move?" inquired Uncle Ned. "Well,
then, will let you into the secret"
Here he produced a cruet of Oil.
"Drop but one drop of oil carefully in
the hole in the center of the fish, as I
have done. After little while the oil
seeks an outlet, and, running down the
canal, spreads on the water and i'm
pels the fish ahead. This is why it
seems to go without any visible cause
to propel it."-N. Y. World.

HOW TO MOUNT STAMPS.
Tho Hinge System Is tho Beat and the
Most Satisfactory.

Tho Hinge System Is tho Beat and the
Most Satisfactory.
Some years ago stamp collecting had
not reached the dignity which it has
now. Then it was looked upon as a
mere craze; now it is classed as pur-
suit with the search for rare old books
and pictures. 1t is something which is
especially interesting to boys and girls,
and, when it is conducted in n system
attic way, valuable results are obtained.
1t is true that juvenile stamp collec-
tors may make mistakes in their work,
but experience is good teacher, and
they will soon learn to distinguish be-
tween the valuable and the worthless
of those that pass through their banda
The famous advice as to how to cook
hare was, first to catch it; and SO it
may be said that, in stamp collecting,
one essential point is to secure stamps
that are perfect and keep them from
being damaged. 1t seems an easy mat
ter, after having secured an album, to
stick the stamps into it; and yet much
depends on how this is done.
To begin with, any pieces of paper
adhering to the backs of the stamps
must not be roughly torn OH, -out
should be carefully removed, and this
is best effected by floating them, face
upwards, in water, until the paper can
be easily peeled away from them.
Care should always be taken that the
face of the stamp does not getwet, for,
although many kinds may be plunged
into water without injury, some, such
as those of Russia, are printed in ink
that will readily wash off.
When all pieces of paper have been
removed and the stamps are quite dry
they are ready to be mounted in the
album, and the best method of doing
this is by what is known as the hinge
system Gig. u.
A strip of thin paper an inch
long and rather narrower than the
stamp, A, has its length gummed to the

and In many cases so fatal. he determined,
therefore, to devote his talents to tho study
and discovery of tho means not only to re-
lieve, cure and restore these all important
organs to health when they were diseased,
but to strengthen and stimulate them 80 that
they should properly perform their neces-
sary functions. The result of his exhaustive
investigation and experiments resulted in
the discovery of compound now known rs
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. The phenom-
email success of this great remedy has dem
onstrated the fact beyond a doubt that tits
now the true specific, not only for Kidney,
Liver and Bladder difficulties, but seldom
fails to cure that much dreaded Bright's Dis
case, which after all is nothing but ad-
vanced Kidney Disease.
We say now, if Dr. Kilmer had done moth
ing else to make his name immortal the dis
covery of this one great remedy alone has
given him reputation that will continue so

A Girls Opinion of Hoys.

A little girl wrote the following COM
position: "Boys are men that have not
got as big as their papas, and girls are
young women that will be young ladies
by and by. Man was made before
woman. When God looked at Adam,
He said to Himself: Well, guess can
do better if ! try again and then he
made Eve. God liked Eve SO much
better than Adam that there have been
more women than men ever since.
Boys are trouble. They are wearing
on everything but soap. If / had my
way, half the boys in the world would
be little girls, and the rest would be
dolls. My papa is so nice that guess
he must have been little girl when
he was little boy."-Arthur's Home
