SWIMMING IN THE DEAD SEA.

Rev. Francis Tiffany In Christian Register.
From Jerusalem We had thor
oughly delightful trip of three days
to Jericho, the Dead Sea and the
Jordan. In the saddle most of the
time, and under blazing Syrian sun,
the fatigue was certainly great; but
the interest was far greater. 1t was
good to be out among the mountains,
stern and naked as they We're, and TO
make the descent of nearly four
thousand feet to the wilderness in
which John the Baptist had preached,
and in which the Essene communities
had wrought out 50 many of the
peaceful tenets Of the gospels. AS
for the Dead Sea, it will, in contra
diction of its name, forever preserve
green and living memory in my
mind. No fish can survive in it, we
all know; but for place for swim,
or above all for float, commend me
to it beyond all Winnepesaukees in
the world. How il bears you up in
it's arms! How ii annihilates the
ponderosity and dignity of the laws
of gravitation! How it introduces
you into the inner consciousness of
dainty Ariel and fairy creatures !!
The more you weigh, the less you
weigh; there is the real ny drostatic
paradox, An elephant in the Dead
Sea would feel himself gazelle.
Then what a mirror its steely surface
was that morning, and how beautiful
its reflections OF the mountains of
Palestine on one hand and the Moab
on the other.

infinite amazement. / am not here
to defend or attack the administra-
tion, but to rryclslm the rectitude of
our motives. The defense which
the senator from New York has made
Of the president reminds me of a
desperate murder case which once
tried. The only defense ! was able
to make was that the accused was
suffering fronE such utter moral de-
pravity thai he was absolutely
incapable of crime. He was ac-
quilted. Aftcrward he came to me
to thank me for the verdict. In
doing 80 he said, however, that he
would rather go to the penitentiary
for life thaiF again listen to the
defense made of him. Laughter. 1n
After Mr.. Vest had closed his
speech Mr.. vlass moved that the
senate reees 5flt'om sths one eighth
differential.
Mr.. Gray followed, urging that the
senate insist upon its amendments.
He intimated that in his advocacy of
free raw material the senator from
New York Hill) was insincere. He
had never, in the long conferences
of the democratic senators that
preceded the adoption of this bill,
raised his voice in behalf of free coal
and iron ore.
An angry colloquy between the
two senators followed.
The senate adjourned until Monday
without taking vote.

WHAT An ACTOR EARNS.

Rudolph de COrdova in the Forum.
The salary of the average player is
put down by an eminent authority at
not more than 81 800 year, earned
during season of about thirty weeks.
In my opinion this is high esti-
mate, for 81, 200 would be nearer the
mark. Out of this the actor-and l
use the term to include also the
women of the stage-must provide
the clothes worn in the play, which
are often very costly; he must make
neat appearance in the street, de-
fray his hotel bills, pay for sleeping
cars on night journeys (for 1t is only
in very rare instances that the man
ager pays for them) and for the lux
ury OF a parlor car when he can get

SOME OBSERVATIONS.

From Kate Fields Washington.
loves language is the speech of
action.
The. pswnbroker places no value
on sentiment.
II yon want to learn humanity
study good woman.
II you are an idealist never go
behind the scenes of a theater nor
into the serxing room of a restaurant.
Never wear your best clothes when
inquiting the price of board.
Temptation is an acid which re-
veals the quality of the metal we are
made out Of.
Devotion Is to woman what dew
Is to the rose-almost life itself.

THE DAINTY H'HiTE GOWN.

Isabel A. Mallon Ia the Ladies Home Jour
nal.
When wearing n white gown
thought must be given to the becom-
ingness Of The shade, for, after all,
there aIe as many tints in white as
in other colcrs; The one that may
suit the pale Ilonde is absolutely
unbecoming to the rosy brunette.
Dead white, which has CLINT of
blue about it, is seldom becoming to
any one. 1t brings out the imperfec-
tions of the complexion, tends to
deaden the gloss of the hair, and
dulls the brightness of the eyes, The
white that touches on the cream or
coffee shade is undoubtedly the most
artistic and best suited to the general
woman. However, in choosing il
one must be careful not to get too
deep a tone, which is apt to look not
quite dainty, and to give the i'm
preston of faded yellow, rather
than cream white.

DEBs' OPINION OF THE STRIKE.
BY advice of their lawyers Debs
and his fellow prisoners decline to
submit to extend interviews for pub
lication. ~ deem it best" said
Mr.. Debs, "under present circum-
stances not to discuss the strike stu
alton. News on that point must be
obtained from headquarters"
sis it true that you intend bring
ing action for false arrest or for any
other cause against the Uuited States,
Mr.. Debs2"
"The thought has never occurred
To me and l might as we'll say right
now that no such action will be
begun by me-"
"What, if any, good have you
accomplished thus far?"
ga vast amount of good has been
done the cause of labor by the pres
ent movement. There is no doubt
that the railsoads were combining to
make a general cut in the wages of
their employees. They have not
done it, and | am confident will not
make the attempt. The condition of
thousands of men is better to- day
than had the strike not taken place.
Of course, there are many sufferers
but no great reform was ever brought
about unless innocent persons suf
fored. The effect of the work so far
done will be lasting for the good of
downtrodden labor, and the time
will eventually come when capital
will not be permitted to grind its
heels into the neck of every servant
it seeks to own body and soul. But
YOU must pardon me if decline to
talk further concerning these mat
ters.n

Myron Reed delivered sensational

in which he declared he was an
anarchist. He continued by saying:
"Jesus Christ was not only an an
archist, but was killed by the repre-
sentatives of the law, the church
and state, for daring to practice
humanity. Jesus Christ was an an
archist and socialist, but never
read of his being a deputy sheriff.

me 30 much in the past few weeks
as to see so many men anxious to
take gun md offer to go out and
shoot their fellow men for the mere
pittance of 90 per day."
