ON TOP OF MOUNT ARAFAT.

Mount Ararat has two tops, a few
hundred yards apart, sloping on the
eastern and western extremities into
rather prominent abutnents, and sep
arated by a snow valley, or depres-
sion, from fifty to one hundred feet in
depth.
The eastern top on which we were
standing, was quite extensive, and
thirty or forty feet lower than its
western neighbor. Both tops are
hummocks on the huge dome of Ara
rat, like the humps on the back of
camel, on neither one of which is there
a vestige of anything but snow.
There remained just as little trace
of the crosses left by Parrott and
Chodzko as of the ark itself. We re-
membered the pictures we had seen
in our nursery books, which represent
ed this mountain top covered with
green grass, and Noah stepping out of
the ark, in the bright, warm sunshine
before the receding waves; and now
we looked around and saw this very
spot covered with perpetual snow
Nor did we see any evidence what
ever of a former existing crater, except
perhaps the snow-filled depression we
HAYS just mentioned. There was moth
Ing dUOuI ILLS perpetual suOW-uelu
and the freezing atmosphere that was
chilling us to the bone to remind us
that we were on the top of an extinct
volcano that once trembled with the
commissions of subterranean heat.
The view from this towering height
was immeasurably extensive and al
most too grand. All detail was lost
all color, all outline; even the sur
rounding mountains seemed to be but
excrescent ridges of the plain. Then,
too, we could catch only occasional
glimpses as the clouds shifted to and
fro. At one time they opened up be-
meath us, and revealed the Arras Val
ley with its glittering ribbon of silver
at an abysmal depth below. Now and
then we could descry the black vol
canic peaks of Ali Chez, forty miles
away to the north west, and on the
southwest the low mountains that OBJ
scured the town of Bayazid. Of the
Caucasus, the mountains about
Erzeroum on the west and Lake Van
on the south, and even of the Caspian
Sea, all of which are said to be in Ara
rats horizon, we could see absolutely
nothing.

INHIS WIFES NAME.

A story was told on the House side
relating to certain western banker
and politician, whose name for good
reasons, is not to be disclosed. This
man was prominent for some time by
reason of success with which he die
tated appointments in his vicinity un-
der the present administration. Re
verses overlook him and he disap-
peared as a political factor. One day
a short time ago, he met an old friend
of the Presbyterian faith on the
street.
Hello Brother Buster; how do you
fare?n said the good man.
Il am crushed by my reyerses,
said the ex-politician, in a querulous
voice. Everything is gone. All |
have left, Brother Billings, is my re-
ligion.n
Brother Billings met an acquaintance
shortly after, and to him related the
conversation he had had with the late
banker-politician.
He says all he has left, related
the good man, lis his religion
His religionw exclaimed the other
in tone of irreverence; 'even that's
in his wife's name"

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

There is no man on earth who does
more for the community in which he
lives than the editor of II country news
paper. Toiling ceaselessly from one
years end to another, often with in
sufficient help and unable to secure
assistance, he manages to issue regu-
larly his weekly paper.
No entertainment is projected by
the church that he is not called on to
give it free puff. If citizen dies,
his columns are thown open for liberal
obituaries, while births and weddings
are all noticed and are of considerable
length. For any enterprise of any
kind the community looks for boom
ing.
In thousand ways he helps his
county, and every issue of his paper is
worth a great deal to his commun-
ity. But few people appreciate the
duties the country editor must over
come to get his paper out. He is
about as Woodworking and as poorly
paid as an average laborer in the
country.

And Mr. Hedger, beginning vaguely
to suspect that something was wrong,

while Pamela put her head in her

In the woodward outside Mr.. He'd

natured Goliath.
"Oh ~ said the Squire. "Pears to
me that you made very short stay,
| Hedger."
81 don't think that your sister was
pleased" said Mr.. Hedger.
The Squire suspended his axe in
midair.
Not pleased" he said. why
what on earth did you say to her ~
Il only asked her if she would be
willing to sell me the old clawlegged
mahogany chair for my collection of
antiques"
"And she said no?''
"She said no, most emphatically,
Squire"
The Squire struck his axe into log,
scratched his nose and chuckled.
"Ah p said he. ''Well, it amt her
fault, she couldn't say yes"
Couldn't say yes p echoed Mr..
Hedger.

And then he sat down beside Miss

Il never heard of such thing in all

"No-yes-perhaps ~ said the lady.

WEARING THE TARTAN AND
PLAID.

There was an interesting debate in
the English House of Commons few
days ago touching what is probably,
next to the Roman toga, the most ia
NOUS article of clothing that has ever
been worn by man. 1t arose out of a
plan to consolidate the killed regi-
ment known as the Seventy ninth or
"Cameronian Highlanders' with the
Scots Grenadier Guards, a regiment
which has nothing Scotch about it be-
yond the fact that Scott was the name
OF it's first colonel.
This plan was no sooner noised
abroad than it excited in Scotland the
deepest Indignation, being considered
deliberate attempt to blot from eX-
istence one of the renowned Highland
regiments which in kilt and tartan
have. under the British flag, filled the
world with Scottish glory. 1t is now
nearly century and a half since these
regiments were raised, and for fully a
century they were, if not Highland,
really Scotch regiments. AS the sup
ply of real Highlanders began to run
low, either through emigration or dis
like of soldering, the Lowlanders be-
gan to feel themselves Highlanders I'M
der the magic influence of Scott S nov
els.
Those only who remember the ac-
count which Macaulay gives of the
loathing with which the lowland
Scotch in the eighteenth century look
ed Oh the Highland garb and Highland
manners and customs will be able to
appreciate the force of the spell by
which Scott succeeded, early i'll the
nineteenth century, in disposing near
ly every Scotchman to the notion that
the kilt, the tartan, the philabeg and
blue bonnet were his original national
raiment, in which he looked his best
and which nothing but the advance OF
a gross and material civilization COM
PEELED him to lay aside.
The fancy for the Highlands with
which Victoria and Prince Albert were
seized in their early married life COM
pleted the conquest which the Wizard
of the North had begun and converted
nearly all male Scots into true High
landers to whom trousers or "breeks
were a genuine incumbrance. Every
man who came near Balmoral castle
or aspired to deer stalking, grouse
shooting and salmon killing, put on
the kilt and tried to get his legs
Drowned, as the only costume a per-
soma Srdld. LIE queen was ~ ''hSi,
with the dress that she even insisted
on putting her German sons-in-law and
her grandsons-in-law into it i'll the sum-
mer and autumn, regardless of the
danger to their hochgeboren knees.
But most of the kilt wearers now
adays are gamekeepers, gillies, guides
and tourist touters generally. Mr..
Campbell Bannern'an, the English
war secretary, himself a Scotehman,
speaking ON the question of the Cam:
eronian Highlanders in the house of
Commons the other day said, AN
honorable and gallant gentleman, a
Scotchman and member of u great
clan family, speaking on this sub ject
10 years ago, said that for his part he
had never yet seen in Scotland a
Scotchman wearing kilt unless he
was paid to do so by an Englishman. "

"OVER THE RIVER"



Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've passed to the other side
The CLEAN of their snowy robes | see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide.
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens own blue,
He crossed i'll the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view
We saw not the angel who met him there,
The gates of the city we could not see;
over the river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welcome me.
Over the river the Boatman pale
Carried another-the household pet:
Her bright curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie, see her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark;
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark
We know she Is safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
Ny childhoods IDOL is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the Boatman cold and pale
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
We catch CLEAN of the snowy sail,
And 10, they have pass'd from our aching
heart:
They cross the stream and are gone for ave a,
We cannot sunder the veil apart,
That hides from our vision the gates of day
We know that their safe-moored banks no more
shall sail with ours on lifes stormy sea,
Yet somehow hope on the unseen shore,
They watch and beckon and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
l shall one day stand by the water cold
And list for the sound of the Boatman's oar
shall watch for the CLEAN of the Tapping sail
/ shall hear the boat as it gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the Boatman pale,
To the better shore of the Spirit Land
| shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The Angel of Death shall carry me!

HOLY TO .AIR APARTMENTS.

1t is the general practice to open
only the lower part of the windows of
II room in ventilating it, whereas if
the upper part were also opened, the
object would be more speedily effected.
The air in an apartment is usually
heated to higher temperature than
the outer air, and it is thus rendered
lighter. and as he outer air rushes in,
the warmer and lighter air is forced
upward, and finding no outlet, re-
mains in the room. If candle be
held in the door way near the floor it,
will be found that the flame will be
blown ward; but, if it be raised near
ly to the top of the doorway, it will
go outward ; the warm air flowing
out at the top, while the cold
air flows in at the bottom. A current
of warm air from the room is general
ly rushing up the fiue of the chimney,
if the fiue be opened, even though
there should be no fire in the stove
therefore open fireplaces are the best
ventilators we can have for cham
Der, with an opening arranged in the
chimney near the ceiling.
