AN ALPINE MoRTUARY.
A Chastity Place Where the Dead
Await Recognition for Years.
From Parsons Weekly.

From Pearson's Weekly.
In a powerful sketch of the famous st.
Bernard's monastery on the Alps. a writ
err after telling how he spent the night,
says: II arose at dawn The snow had
ceased to fall. Some instinct drew me
to a small stone building about the size
Of a workman's cottage, few PAGES from
the Hospice. on the apex stood a cross.
About three feet from the ground the
building was pierced by a window a cou-
pie of feet square, crossed by thick wood

was dark and as bare as a hay loft.
when my eyes pierced the mystery OF
the gloom / shuddered 1t contained a
score or so of dead-men, women and
children. They stood, or reclined, in a
semi-circle round the dim chamber. The
snow, their enemy, blew past me through
the cross bars in little drifts, circling
plaVfully about its harvest of victims
There, frozen into incorruptibility, they
stand, these triendless and forlorn dead,
whom no one has claimed. As they look
ed at that supreme moment when their
poor mortality put on Immortality, so
they look now-so will they always LOOK
till the valleys shall be exalted and there
shall be no more snow. Frozen into stone
which never thaWs, they have been caught
at the last instant Of their poor lives. A
mother presses her baby to her Withered
breast. An Old man drags a tattered
handkerchief about his throat
"A peasant raise his head eager for
the last curiosity to be satisfied or-e1d-
ed. There, easily recognizable, but not
easily forgotten, wait those friendless and
forlorn dead till God calls"
Some of the bodies have waited there
for twenty years, frozen and preserved
by the intense cold.

Mr.. Elger remarks: 81 have frequent

ticed when the illumination is under
suitable conditions; such tints have
sometimes been attributed to the pos
sible presence of some form of vegeta-
ton, though this would hardly be com
patible with the absence of a lunar
atmosphere
The grandest illustration of this class
of objects is the great Oceanus Proeel-
larum, which covers an area not very
different from that occupied by Euro
pean Russia. If, however, we desire
to look at one of the objects of this
class which seems most emphatically
to suggest its origin to have been an
ancient sea basin, would especially
call attention to the Mare CriSium It

MASSAGE FOR HEADACHES.

In many cases massage will be found
invaluable relieving the pain of con-
gestive headache. The movement
should be made with the palm or sur
face of the fingers and be a vigorous
one.
Begin on top of the head and contin-
lie the treatment backward and down
ward to the base OF the brain. Con-
tinue the rubbing also from the tenn
pies backward and down ward. Much
and heavy rotation at the base of the
brain should follow; also crosswise rub

ing from the head down back of the
ears to the shoulders, for the purpose
of emptying the veins.

tive proximity. there is another cir
cumstance which renders 1t compare
lively easy for us to study the fea-
lures on our satellite. If globe like
the earth in size, as well as in other
particulars had been situated at the
came distance from US as that at which
fhe moon now revolves, it seems quite
possible that we should never have
been able to obtain any clear notion as
To the geography of such globe. For
our earth is, of course, surrounded by
a thick coat of atmosphere: this at
unosphere is at all times and in all
parts more or less Opaque from
the presence of large quanti-
ties of floating material while
there are always some regions
where there is temporarily complete
obstruction, from the presence of
clouds. The atmosphere would thus
oppose great difficulties to the study Of
rhe geography of our earth by an out
side observer. 1t may, indeed, be we'll
doubted whether even the outlines of
the continents could be completely dis
