the TEMPLE OF sAAL.
A Whole Village Now Inciosed Within
the Ancient Walls

There rises huge wall, seyenty-five
feet high, inelosing square court. of
which the side is four hundred and
seventy feet long. Part Of the wall, hav-
ing fallen into ruins, has been rebuilt
from the ancient materials, but the
whole of the north side, with its beau
tiful pilasters, remains perfect.
AS the visitors enter the court they
stand st;ll in astonishinent at the ex-
traordinary sight which meets their
eyes, for here, crowded within those
four walls, is the native village Of Tad
mar. 1t was natural enough for the
Arabs to build their mad huts within
these ready-made Notifications, admits
Blackwood's Magazine, but the impres.
sion produced by such a village in such
a place is indescribably strange, The
temple, 50 to speak, is eaten out at the
core, and little but the shell remains.
But here and there a fluted Corinthian
column or group Of columns, with en-
tablature still perfect, rises in stately
grace far over the wretched huts, the
rich, creamy color Of the limestone and
the beautiful holdings OF the capitals
contrasting with the clear blue of the
cloudless sky. Tho best view Of the
whole is to be obtained from the roof of
the naos, which, once beautiful and
Rdorned with sculpture, is now all bat
tered and defaced and has been meta
morphosel into a squalid little mosque.
To describe the view from that roof
were indeed u hopeless task. High into
the clear blue an and the golden sum
shine rise the stately columns; crowded
and jumbled and heaped together be-
low, untouched by the gladdening sun,
beams, unre;reshed by the pure, fresh
air, lies all the squalor and wretched-
ness of an Arab mud hut village

CLIMATE OF EGYPT,
Something About the Atmospheric Cons
ditions In the Valley of the Nile,


Something About the Atmospheric Cons
ditions in the Valley of the Nile.
From study of the climate of Egypt
recently made by Dr. j. Ham, says
the London Globe, it appears that for
three or four days in March or April a
hot, dusty wind visits Cairo and de-
stroys the foliage of many of the trees,
During summer hot winds-the Etesian
winds of the ancients, to which Thales
ascribcd the rise of the Nile-blow
from the north, but, although dry, they
are clean. Toward September damp
ness of the air accompanies the rise of
the Nile, dew falls occasionally and the
heat becomes oppressive, owing to the
moisture.
October and November bring snow
and then morning fog or shower of
rain; but after that the weather be7
comes pleasant and steady, snow is un-
known, frost is very rare and rain is
also infrequent.
The highest temperature recorded at
Cairo during the seventy-one years end
ing 1883 was III degrees Fahrenheit, in
August, 1851; the lowest was 2S.4 de-
grees Fahrenheit, in February, 1880,
The mean annual temperature was 70.5
degrees Fahrenheit. In 1887 the rain
fall was only 81 inch, and in 1855 it
was 1877 inches. Hail and thunder.
storms are exceedingly rare.

TuIELARY TReEs,
Some Of the Shrubs Considered Sacred by
Peoples of the East.

FSoples OF tlic i@asts
People had their tuteiary trees just as
they had their tutelory gods, the
former being the affairs and shrines of
the latter, says the GentIcman's Maga-
zine. Among the Scandinavians the
ash was hold to be the most sacred
tree. Serpcat s, accor!,ng to their be-
6ef, dared not approach it. Hence the
women left their chl!ren with entire
confidence under its shade while they
went on with their harvesting, The
1ews and the Arabs pace the date palm
before all other trees, because it was,
they say, male of the same clay as
Alan, and prophesied through its
leaves. The rahbis accredited Abrao
ham with knowledge of what was
thus conveyed for his direction. In
Persia the inhabitants burn wax tap
ers, as at q shrlne, before the trees
which they hold sacred, the oriental
plane and the cypress. They hope thus
to ootain the cure of their maladies
and the accom-. a,ishment Of their
wishes. So thrtnignout the length and
breadth Of India, the Feus religiosa,
under which Bu1dha rested for seven
years plunged in divine thought, is ded-
icated to reng}ous worship, and may
on no account be felled or destroyed.
With more universal, but not less sin
cere, reverence do the peasants of
Russia prostrate themselves before the
trees which they are about to cut, and
deprecate the vengeance of the deities
whose resting places they then proceed

SACRED PIGEONS OF VENICE
Tons of Grain Required 70 Care for the
Doves OF st. Mnrix's Church.

Doves OF st. MnriSs Church.
1t may be of interest. says the st,
Louis Republic, to such the readers as
like to sentimentaize on sacred subjects
to know that the Holy Pigeons of st,
Marks" have been recognized as such
by the authorities Of Venice for more
than thousand years--ever since the
year SIT. In olden times it was the
custom of the sacristans Of st. Marks
church to release doves and pigeons,
fettered with paper, after the religious
services Of Palm Sunday. The paper
fetters partially disabled the poor birds,
and such of those as did not escape
were caught by the people, who fatted
them for Easter dinner. Sometimes
one and sometimes dozen Of the poor,
futtering creatures would manage to
break the paper thongs which bound
wings and feet together, whcrcupon
they almost invariably sought refuge
on the roof and In the stecplos Of the
historic old church. All of the escaped
birds assumed a certain sacrcClaess, and,
it being against the law to kill or harm
them in any way, incr -ased to enormous
numbers. During the time Of the repub-
lie the Sacred Pigeons of st. Marks"
became objects of national soil itude,
tons of grain being annually eapplied
for thcir maintenance. After the fall
of the republic thousands Of them
starved to death and all would have died
but for provision made by pious old
lady, whose will perpetually provides
for them.

DRY GOODS.
Slaughter Continued.

The people of Alexandra
know a good thing when they
see it. They saw the prices
that were put on the immense
stock of
Dry Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, &c.,
and they caught on at once.
They came in flocks, in crowds,
in troops, and when they saw
what we were doing and real
lied the IMMENSE SACRI-
FICE that was being made,
they waded right into the good
things and every one secured
a prize. At this SLAUGHTER
SALE you can't go wrong.
Whatever you buy is a bar
gain which cannot be dupli-
Gated for double the money.
YOU DRAW A PRIZE EV-
ERY TIME-THERE ARE
NO BLANKS.
Some good things are gone,
but there are many still here.
Those who couldn't oct to see
us last week missed some
good opportunities. But we
are still going to give them a
chance to get even. We have
made another STUPENDOUS
REDUCTION in the prices of
the goods left. This sounds
impossible, but it is true new
ertheless. We want every
thing cleared out from top to
bottom, and the way we are
going to do it is by giving to
each person three times as
much for his money as could
be gotten elsewhere for the
same sum. We have plenty
of choice fabrics yet on hand,
which, if the business had to be
wound up, would command
full price to-day from every
man, woman and child who
needs them. These very same
goods we reduce this week to
less than one-half of their mar
ket value. Why, it would pay
you to lay in a stock for future
use.
It's like saving up so much money in bank
you will have to have the goods some time,
and you will have then to pay 100 cents on
the dollar for them. Why not buy them now
and thus effect Il great saving? A PENNY
SAVED is A PENNY MADE. This is an
old saying and true one, and if you want to
save good hard dollars in these hard times
