The greatest natural wonder in Java,
If not in the entire weld, is tho justly
celebrated Gu,Ao han-dha Gnmko, or
"home of the hot devils, known to
the world as the Island of Fire. This
geological eccentricity is really lake
of boiling mud, situated at about the
center cf the plains OF Grobogana, and
is called an island because Of the great
emerald sea of vegetation which sur
rounds it and gives it that appearance.
The "island" is a!oout two miles in
circumference and is situated at dis
tance of almost exactly 90 miles from
Solo. Near the center OF this geological
freak immense columns of soft, hot mud
may be seen continually rising and fall
ing like great timbe,s thrust through
the boiling substratum by giant hands
and then quickly Withdrawn.
Besides the phenomenon of the boil
ing mud columns there are scores of gl-
gantic bubbles of hot slime that fill up
like huge ballcous and keep up series
of constant explosions, the intensity of
the detonaticns varying with the size of
the bubble In times past, so the Java
nese authorities say, there was tall
spirelike column of baked mud on the
west edge of the lake, which constantly
belched pure stream of cold water,
but this has long been obliterated, and
everything is now a seething mass OF
bubbling mud aud slime, a marvel to
the visitors who come from long dis
tances 70 see it.

Begging and Religion.

Before a London police justice a pro-
fessional begear told an Interesting story
of his methods. He admitted haunting
the neighborhoods where religious
meetings We're held, and he appealed to
women coming from these meetings
with the quotations: The Lord loveth
a cheerful giver . Those who give to
the poor lend TO the Lord. The birds
of the air have nests. the foxes have
holes, but, like the Son Of Man, I have
nowhere to lay my head. The prison
er said that he found this method very
effective, especially IN the winter
months, when women Wore thick gloves
and could not tell the difference be
tween a penny and 4 half crown.

HER SOUL UNBURDENED.
A Young Brides Confession In the Wan
ing of the HONEYMOON.


Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprocl1-
ett had been married nearly three weeks,
and they had just returned from their
wedding trip. They We're supremely
happy in each others love, and the
honeymoon SO far had been to them as
one long, blissful dream. Within the
next day or two, however, the bride
grew slightly depressed in spirits, and
an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos
session of her. The young husband no.
ticed the change, but attributed it to
fatigue from the recent travels. But his
bride grew more nervous and took on
such troubled expression that he said
to her:
"You have something on your mind,
darling, that is troubling you. Tell me
what it is. -
At first she tried to persuade him
that he was mistaken, that nothing
worried her.
"You are wrong, Charley, DEAR"
she would say. Really, am not wor
rying over anything. 1 am just as
happy as can be- -
The day following, however, the
young wife wore such troubled look
that her husband said to her:
Lucille, you must tell me what is
troubling you. l will not be put off any
longer AS your husband have right
to know. "
Seeing that further concealment was
impossible, she broke down and sobbed
bitterly:
"Oh, Charley, am SO unhappy"
she walled. Il MISUNDERSTANDING.
A sickening sensation swept over the
young husband. Surely there must be
some mistake. She, whom he had looked
upon as the personitication of innocent
omanhood-deceiveh him! 1t must not
be- 1t would destroy his happiness and
blight his life. And then, when he
caught a sudden vision of the horrible
possibilities of the situation. he became
sick at heart and almost fell to the
floor. Then, with great effort, he
controlled his feelings.
''Tell me- !" he said q am prepared
for the worst "
''Oh, Charley, am so sorry!''
"You should have thought of this be-
fore. ~
II know, know. l see my mistake,
now it S too late, - she cried. "Oh, why
didn't tell you before we We're mar
ried:"
Tell me now, and be quick about it,
cannot bear this suspense
| Tell me first that you will forgive
me- she said in pleading tones Il
will devote my whole life in atonenent
| for this one mistake. .
| 81 cannot promise until know what
/ it is, he said.
Then she came over and knelt at his
feet.
''Ch, Charley, you know the wheel l
got just few weeks before we We're
married''-
''Yes; but what has that

HE CONTINUED TO WHISTLE.
Peculiar Ideas Held by Many Con-
corning Noise.

Dr. Girdner in North American Review.
Some have fallen into the error of sup
posing that noise means enterprise and
that the city or town which produces the
greatest din in proportion to the number
OF its inhabitants must of necessity be most
rapidly advancing in modern civilization.
Whatever else advancing civilization may
mean, it certainly means an ever-increas-
ing respect on the part of each individual
for the rights, health and comfort of all the
others. Churches, hospitals, public and
private charities, ETC., should not be the
only evidences of Christian civilization in
our cities. The xiii gdom of heaven on
earth is peace and quiet within, and this
peace and quiet ought TO be reflected in
our method OF conducting our daily occu-
pations. and the business of our cities
should be done with the least possible
amount of noise and distraction.
In the best circumstances, city jewellers
must always suffer in health and comfort
from noise, Just as they must always suffer
from lack Of the purest air. even under the
best possible sanitary conditions. But any
one who makes a careful study of city
noises will be astonished at the very large
number which are wholly unnecessary, and
the abolition of which would in no way
interfere with the rights of business inter-
ests of those who make them. The noise
makers may be divided into two classes
The first and by far the larger class make
unnecessary noise thoughtiessly They
have never had their attention called to the
fact that they cause annoyance to others

The Function of the Jew.

Dr. MendeS, in North American Review.
In England and America two parties have

called THE Maccabees indicative

ests. Both are composed of the brainiest
young men; and where youth moves, espe-
cially youth animated by high ideals much
may be expected.
Here, then, we find organized in every
way the race which has given in our own
day such brains in craftsmanship as Bea-
consfed to England, Cremieux to France,
Iasker to Germany, Rothschild in finance,
Hirsch in enterprise, Jessel in jurispru-
dence Sylvester in mathematics. And this
race existed, organized, vivific, ages before
the great nations of to-day had birth. It's
great temple was built, its psalmists
had sung it's prophets had, preached
of Rome and before the Olympian games
were ever contested. 1t has been subjected
to treatment enough to crush the life out
than human attributes. 1t lives to-day
not at all decrepit, not at all weak. 1t is
younger than ever, if youth means
strength, energy and wild impetuous love
for What is good and beautiful. It is
stronger than ever, for it has the strength
born OF experience. Shall there be- can
must be. And if the chief theater of this
future shall be Palestine. and in that flu
ture AL the families of earth shall be
blessed what will it be but the fulfilIment
of the old promise to Abraham?
Italy has been reborn. Old France died
and new France lives far more vigorous
