Antarctic Desolation.

The high summer heat Of the north,
which in the few months of it's existence
has the energy to develop that lovely carpet
ing of grass and flowers which gives to the
low lying lands, even to the eighty second
parallel of latitude, charm equal to that
Of the upland meadows of Switzerland, is
in a measure wanting in the south. In it's
place frequent cold and dreary fogs navi-
gate the atmosphere and render dreary and
desolate a region that extends far into
what may be properly designated the hab-
liable zone. The fields of peoples, anem-
ones, saxifrages and mountain pinks, of
dwarf birches and willows, are replaced by
interminable snow and ice, with only here
and there bare patches of rock to give as
surance that something underlies the snow
covering. Mans habitations In the north
ern hemisphere extend to the seventy
eighth parallel of latitude and formerly
extended to the eighty second. In the
southern hemisphere they find their limit
in Fuegia, In the fifty fifth parallel, fully
$50 miles nearer to the equator than where,
as in the Shetland islands, ladies in lawn
dresses disport in the game of tennis. And
still 700 miles farther from the equator, in
Siberia, Nordenskjold found forests of
pine rising with trunks 10 to 100 feet in
height. Professor Heilprin in Popular
Science Monthly.

TEMPLE OF HERoD.

Interesting Relic In the Museum of An
tiauities In Constantinople.
In the interesting Museum of Antiqui-
ties at Constantinople the object that
struck me most was hoary, battered tab
let, with long Greek inscription cut in it
in seven lines, says correspondent Of The
Sunday at Home 1t was discovered in
Jerusalem about the end of May, 1871, by
the French archaologist, Clermont Gan
neau, at considerable depth below the
ground, in the foundations of an Arab
house, not far from the mosque of Omar,
on what might have been the site OF the
temple of Herod.
This is one of the very few relics OF that
magnificent structure which have survived
to our day. The inscription is in capital
monumental letters and may be translated
thus: sNo stranger can enter within the
balustrade round the sanctuary and in
closures. Whoever is caught will be re-
sponsible to himself for his DEATH" Jo-
sephus gives a graphic description OF Her
DDS temple and mentions that the court
of the gentiles was separated from the part
that was restricted to the Jews by two
parallel walls about 15 feet apart. The
outer wall was about Az feet high. 1t
was an deliberately carved stone balustrade,
with IS doors in it, each Of which had a
pillar in front of it, bearing an inscription
| in Greek and Latin, forbiddtng any for
eigner to enter the Enclosure on pain OF
| death. Josephus mentions that the Ro-
mans respected this law, and no gentle
| ever ventured to intrude beyond this point.
The prohibition in question, however,
was long regarded as apocryphal, even al

i SAVED THE COUNTRY MONEY.
Remarkable Achievement by Speaker
Reed in Passing Appropriation Bill.
(B0ston Herald. }

NASeS0eH
Warrington, February 15.-Speaker
Reed saved the country large sum OF
money by a remarkable exhibition of his
power in putting through the House this
afternoon, under suspension OF the rules,
and with only forty minutes actual de-
bate, the great sundry civil appropria-
tion bill, making in its III pages appro-
priations of $50, 900, 600. Even Speaker
Reed power was thought to be unequal
to this unparalleled feat, for the sundry
civil is the bill which carries the many
miscellaneous appropriations, such as
those for public buildings and river and
harbor Improvements, which are SO i'm
portant to members of the House, and
the summary disposition OF it shut out
all it's amendments which members were
waiting to propose, sand which, II
adopted, would increase the sum total by
large amount.
Speaker Reed, annoyed at the size OF
the appropriation bills, in spite of all his
efforts to keep them down, was deter
mined that not one dollar should be
added to the sundry civil bill, and, risk
ing what is left of his popularity in the
House with those who have been kept
away from the public treasury by him
during the past two years, notwith-
standing his presidential ambition, he
drove the bill through without amend
ment and without division, an over
whelming majority of the House support.
ing him when the time came. in spite OF
good deal of private grumbling and
some public attack on the scheme put in
the bill by Chairman Cannon of the ap-
preparations committee for 5000, 900 for a
bnilding for branch soldiers homo at
his town of Danville, Ill.
Members OF the Senate appropriations
committee who had known Speaker
Reeds intention, did not believe he
would succeed, and were astonished and
delighted when they found that he had
prevented the bill from being loaded up
with additional appropriations. which
they would not have been able to ge out
in the Senate. AS it is, they will not be
able to prevent some of them from being
adopted in the grand assault that will
now be made in the Senate by those who
want these appropriations.

MONEY.
How little May Be Made to Go a Great
Way,


Money is to commerce and business
what the blood is to the body-it simply
acts as lubricant to keep in action the
financial machinery. The total amount
of money issued by the United States gov
eminent from the time of Washington's
administration to the present does not
represent even hundredth part Of the
wealth of this country. The amount of
money which is in circulation Is vastly
more important than the amount of money
which Is stored up in bank vaults. 10 De
In healthy financial condition country
must have its money in constant ciroula-
ton, just the same as the blood in the
body must course through the veins at
certain rapidity in order to keep one In
state of health. A $40 bill, for instance,
If put away in trunk or somewhere else,
will be for the time being useless thing,
but If sent out to be circulated among
tradesmen and farmers and professional
people it will be the means of paying hum
dreds and thousands of dollars of debts
just think what $40 bill can do in a
year, even if it be used only once day,
not including Sundaysl 1t can pay in
that time debts aggregating S3, 100.
In illustration there is little story
which runs as follows:
Mr.. Brown kept boarders. Around his
table sat Mr.. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs.
Andrews, the village milliner: Mr.. Black,
the baker; Mr.. Jordan carpenter, and
Mr.. Hadley, flour, feed and lumber mer-
chant.
Mr.. Brown took out of his pocketbook
a $40 note and handed it to Mrs. Brown,
saying: -.
''Here, my dear, is $40 toward the $40
promised you.
Mrs Brown handed it to Mrs. Andrews,
the milliner saying:
"That pays for my new bonnet"
Mrs Andrews said to Mr.. Jordan as
she handed him the note:
"That will pay you for the work on my
counter -
Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr.. Hadley,
the flour, feed and lumber merchant, re-
questing his lumber bill.
Mr.. Hadley gave the note back to Mr.
Brown, saying:
"That pays $40 on board"
Mr. Brown passed it to his wife, with
the remark that that paid her $50 he hao
promised. She, in turn, paid 1T to Mr..
Black to settle her bread and pastry ac'
count, who handed it to Mr.. Hadley, wish
ing credit for the amount on his flour bill
he again returning it to Mr.. Brown, with
the remark that it settled for that month
board, whereupon Mr.. Brown put it back
into his pocketbook, exclaiming that he
