EARLY CHRISTIAN RECORDS.


R1B0kOUok88 A$OSo-Se~
h Upper ESypt.
Great interest has been created n
literary. and ecclesiastical circles IN
Europe by the recovery from tomb In
upper Egypt Of some old codices which
Prof. Hsrnack was the first to recogniz.
Is fragments of some OF the earliest
Christian records, supposed to have been
irretrievably lost. They are three in
number. One Of them bears the title:
1.-THE Revelation of Peter" 1t Is .
prophetic book. resembling the Apoc'
alypse of st. John and was quoted as
sacred Scripture" by the great Chris
tan teacher, Clement, Of Alexandria
in the second century after Christ. It
il supposed to have been written by the
Apostle Peter. Another is: THE Cos
bel of Peter" narrative OF the life OF
Christ, similar to those of the four Cos
pels, and containing some curious variar
lions in the account Of the crucihxion
and resurrection. It was in use in the
second century, especially in the Syrian
communities, and was at first admitted
bv the ecclesiastical authorities, but
sfterward stigmatized as agnostic. It.
too, is supposed to have been written
NV st. Peter. The third codex contains
considerable fragments Of the book Of
Enoch, q prophetic book which was OF
high authority among the early Chris
tians. but the origin of which is uncer.
tain. The ascription Of it to the OLD
Testament patriarch "who walked with
God" is, of course, q mere literary fc'
ton. A translation Of the fragment Of
the Gospel Of st. Peter" has appeared
already at Cambridge university. Prof
Harnack's full report will be published
1T the end of the year.

THE CHINESE WALL.
C Waa . Wonderful Engineering Fee
and . Stupendous Work.

e Was . Wonderful Engineering Fsos
and . Stupendous Work.
The scenery from the great wall II
very fine. The wall is here dividing
line between the high rugged hills Of
China, which tower above US on the one
hand, and the great sandy plains Of
Mongolia on the other, with dim noun
tain submits beyond in the far dis
lance. Over these barren, rocky spurs
and activities. ascending to their very
submits, winding about in irregular
curves and zigzags, its serried battle
ments clear-cut against the sky on the
topmost ridges. descending into dark
gullies to appear again rising on the
other side, the endless line of massive
stone and brick runs on and on until
lost to sight behind the farthest range.
And 30, says the Century, it goes for
miles and miles, eastward to the Pechili
gulf, and westward. mostly In two
great, rambling lines, along the border
Of the Cobb desert and Kansu, until it
ends among the foothills of the Nan
Shan range. However we may regard
It, whether as a grand conception for
the defense of an empire, as an en-
cheering feat. or merely as result Of
the persistent application of human Ia
Dor, it is q stupendous work. No
achievement of the present time COM
pares with it in magnitude.
But it has outlived its usefulness.
The powerful Tartar and Mongol
hordes, whose sudden raids and inve-
sions it was built to resist, are no more
TO be feared. The great Genghis and
Kublai could not lead their people to
CORY conquest now as they did centuries
ago. The Chinese civilization has en-
dured, while the once conquering Mon.
gols, the people who in their brightest
days established an empire from the
Black sea to the China coast, and q
court at Picking Of such luxury and
splendor as Marco Polo described, are
now doomed to pass away, leaving
nothing behind them but the traditions,
and records, and ruins of a brilliant
past. The wall stands as a sharp line
Of division between the tribes of the
north and the Chinese. The latter,
though repeatedly subdued, and forced
TO bear foreign yoke, have shown an
irrepressible vitality to rise like a
phenix, and to reassert their supremacy
and the superiority Of their civilization.

AN ODD TIMEEYECE.
~ Chariot Clock OF the EmparoR 81
China.


Ono of the most wonderful time
keepers known to the horologist was
made in London about one hundred
years ago and sent by the president of
the East India company as gift to
the emperor of China. The case, says
the New Orleans Times Democrat, was
made in the form of chariot, in
which was seated the figure Of a wom-
an. This figure was of pure ivory and
gold and sat with her right hand rest
ing upon tiny clock fastened to the
side Of the vehicle. A part of the
wheels which kept track Of the fight
Of time were hidden in the body Of
tiny bird, which had seemingly Just
alighted upon the lady's finger. Above
was . canopy SO arranged as to conceal
Q silver bell. This bell was fitted with
. miniature hammer of the same metal,
and, although it appeared to have no
connection with the clock. regularly
struck the hours, and could be made
to repeat by touching a diamond but
ton ON the lady's bodice. In the char
lot ut the ivory lady's feet there was
golden figure of q dog. and above and
in front were two birds, apparently
Aylng before the chariot. This beau.
tiful ornament was made almost en-
tirely Of gold and was deliberately
decorated with precious stones.

HIS WIFE WAS TOO GOOD.

Z London Man Had Planned . SpeculA-
tiou, But His Wife Spoiled It.
"Your worlds fair souvenir half dol
lar reminds me Of a singular incident"
said Ralph C. Watson, of London, in the
hearing of St. Louis Globe
Democrat reporter. During the
queens jubilee all England was
flooded with jubilee coins. The
largest denomination was q five pound
sterling gold piece, and from that down
to farthing. After the jubilee all
those special coins that found their way
back to the Bank of England were taken
out of circulation, and before it was
generally known that this was being
done ninety per cent. Of the coins,
fancy, had found their way into the
nav of the old lady of Threadneedle
street.
81 was among the few who had sense
enough to keep a set. had q five
pound sterling piece. q sovereign, q
half-sovereign, q crown, four-shilling
piece, a half-crown, two-shilling bit,
one shilling, sixpence, fourpence, a
threepence, penny. half penny and
q farthing. They lay idle in q box in
my dressing-case fo- nearly four years
I thought nothing of them until one
day last summer, having business in
Glasgow, l went there. Here the jubi-
lee coins were a great rarity, and
found that my collection, which
amounted to seven pounds. five shil-
lings. six pence, ha' penny, farthing.
would bring something like twelve
pounds.
"Ncw, thinks I, I'll just make that
five pounds like wink, SO 1 tele-
graphed my wife to forward the box OF
coins to me by express at once. The
next day got letter from her inclos-
ing postal note for seven pounds, six
shillings, an ! q note from the dear
woman saying that as long as was in
need of the money she thought the let
ter-post quicker than the package-post,
and had had my coins exchanged for a
postal order, and added the change her
self to make it even money. Mad? Twas,
I not only lost my five pound specula'
ton, but lost my jubilee coins as well
but, say, it was rather thoughtful o,
her, you know, and under any othe'
circumstances would have been very
| gratifying"

WORLD WITHOUT BANKS.
Such Was the State Of Things . Littl'
Over . Century Ago.

0uch WAS the state OF Tnln8S Alet4o
Over . Century Ago.
Illustrations of the economic revolu.
ton abound on every hand, writes Prof.
Richard T. Ely in the Chautauquan.
Those modes of protection which we
take as a mere matter of course, were.
for the most part, entirely unknown in
1860. 1t will be readily admitted that q
business world which could exist with
out banks must have been a radically
different business world from that
which we now know. 1t is only little
over . century since there were but
three banks in the entire United States.
If these banks had entirely suspended
their operations, undoubtedly harm
would have resulted; but most men and
women would have continued their Or
binary course of life and been entirely
unaware of the disaster. The misfor-
tune would in no way have entered
into the lives of the great majority Of
citizens. Should one-half of our thou
sands of banks now fail, it would be a
deplorable calamity, the like of which
has rarely been witnessed. Suffering
and poverty would be widespread, and
undoubtedly thousands and hundreds
of thousands would be deprived Of the
berest necessities of life

had the neighbours dog killed; then he
raised the cry that the dog had been
mad, and had bitten other dogs. The
selectmen met and ordered that every
dog should be muzzled for forty days,
and the thrifty hardware man has sold
nearly 500 muzzles at 81 apiece. Staid

The Hermitage is famous building

Six centuries before Christ, the

of the Black sea. They united with
the native Scythians, and Scythian
rulers were generally placed over the
colonies.
Outside the gates of the modern

DISCOVERY.

The invention of DR.. R. " Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical institute. at Buffalo, n. ",
has, during the past thirty years, made a
record in the cure of bronchial. throat and
lung diseases that fairly entities il to out
rank all other advertised remedies for these
affections Especially has It manifested its
potency in curing consumption of the lungs.
Not every case, but we believe
Fully % Per Cent.
of all cases of consumption, in all its earlier
stages, are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as TO induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular natter, great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to US as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced hone physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
. trial of Golden Medical Discovery,
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures. had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit. or had only seemed to benefit little for
. short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis.
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
