TOMB OF MARY AND LAZARUS.
An Interesting Tombstone Discovered In
PalCstine.

Palestine.
In n recent issue of the journal OF
the German Palestine society. Prof.
Gelzer, of Jena, discussed an interest
ing tombstone discovered at Cesarea,
in Palestine, and which first appeared
in the Revue Biblique, published at Je-
rusalcm. The inscription reads: ''Mon-
uunent belonging to Tor dedicated toy
Mary and Lazarus" The language is
Creek, and the. inscription dates from
the fourth or fifth century. The orig
iIal editors, the Dominicans of Jerusa-
lem, thought that it was merely mon
ument of two persons by the names OF
Mary and Lazarus. Gelzer, however,
is of opinion that the Biblical persons
st es9 9aTss n visM 81 efs 4aes s6ss
Mary's name precedcs that of Lazarus.
He draws attention to the fact that in
the first half of the fifth century the
discovery of apostles and prophets
tombs was "a nourishing and mani
fcstly also lucrative branch of indus
try" At that period it was claimed
that the bodies of Joseph, Samuel,
Zachariah, John the Baptist, and other
Biblical men were found, and many OF
these pseudo relics were transported to
the capital city of Christendom, Con.
stantinoplc. 1t is not impossible that
at this period also the pretended re-
mains of the sister and brother from
Bethany were transported to Cesarea,
which in the ante-Chalcedonian period
II. G., down to 451-was the metropoli.
tan center of the church in Palestine.

Salt Makes Sugar Swseter.

Who would think of making sugar
swecter by the addition Of salt? Such,
however, is asserted to be the case by
Prof. Zuntz at late meeting of the
Physiological society of Berlin. From
his experiments he finds, that If to u
solution of sugar there be added a
slight amount of saltand water SO weak
that it excites no saline taste, the re-
suit is extra swcetcning of the sugared
water. The weakest of quinine solu-
tion is said to produce practically
similar result. The explanation given
of the above seeming incongruity is
that the ever SO feeble saltness or BIT
terness imparts an increased sensibility
to the sensation of taste by the stimuli
taneous stimuli, and hence an appre-
ciation of additional sweetness.

RIP VAN w,nxLE IN CHINA

He stopped to Watch . Lengthy Game Of
Chess.
A Chinese writer, Tcheng-Ki-Tong,
describes Chinese chess as game OF
patience. 1t is played with three hun
dred and sixty-one pawns, and the
player sometimes deliberatcs half an
hour before moving one of them. Lit
erary men and ladies' are said to be
fond of it, and what sounds more like
", people who have retired from
business" There are three sounds,
the writer says, which help to turn
ones thoughts toward what is pure and
delicate; the sound of falling water, the
murmur Of wind in the trees, and the
rattle of chess pawns.
In the time of the Tching dynasty, as
the story goes, woodcutter who had
gone to the top Of mountain for q
days work found two young men there
playing chess. He stopped to look on,
and presently became deeply interest
cd. and after awhile one Of the play
crs gave him piece of candied fruit to
eat.
The game grew more and more ex-
citing. The woodcutter forgot his work,
and sat hour after hour with his eyes
on the board. At last he happened to
look at his ak. The handle of it had
rotted away.
That frightened him. He jumped up
and hastencd down the mountain to the
village. Alas, among all the people OF
the street he recognized not one, and

turies had passed since he started out
