Worlds Most Stupendous Ruins.

The most stupendous ruin in the
world is the great temple at Baalbec,
an ancient city of Syria. 1t seems to
have been IA kind of Pantheon, and is
situated on a magnificent platform.
which rises 1t high above the level OF
the ground, and extends from east to
west a distance of about 900 feet. The
portico Is at the east, and must have
been reached by a grand flight of steps.
1t Is $50 feet, or, including the pavilions
260 feet from north to south. The
threefold entrance leads into the first
court, hexagonal in shape, and measur-
Ing about $50 feet from corner to cor
ner. A portal so feet wide gives admit

tends from east to west for 44O feet,

Guiding an area of between three and
four acres. The perlstyle of the tenn
pie proper was composed OF ffty-four
columns; the height of their shafts was
about 62 feet, and the diameter feet
at the base and about 5 feet at the top.
That part Of the great platform on
which the peristyle rests consists OF
immense walls built up about so feet
from the ground and formed of thir-
teen courses of beveled stones. An
other marvellous ruin Is the Coliseum
at Rome, which oHcloses a space OF
about five acres, and is said to have
been capable OF seating eighty-seyen
thousand spectators. Both OF these
are ruins OF a single building. II we

had realized at last that she vas not

was idly turning over the papers IN

These are nut several examples OF
the correspondence being received
from American women.
In the event OF an outbreak with
Spain positions in the army will be
open to many women, the number OF
purse depending upon the extent OF
the struggle. During the late wal
hundreds Of women served In many
capacities with relation to the army
most of them as nurses, some as spies

etc.
Should a great wal break out the
hospital corps Of the army would have
to employ a great number of women
nurses. Secretary Alger would prob.
ably appoint an experienced woman as
superintendent of nurses. In 1861. a
the beginning of the civil war, Score.

Dorothea Dix for this duty. She Of

when she had almost walked into his
arms in the Kensington High street,
she was so afraid that he might be
lurking about the neighborhood that
she never set foot outside her own
door. II she had known that he was
safely down at IIolroyd, dividing his
life between riding hard from one
point of his property to another, and
sitting moodily staring into the empty
fire-grate, his thoughts all busily &C.
cupied in cursing at fate! However,
that phase Of feeling did not last long
with him, for one fine September morn
ing he Wen over TO the Hall and van
dered round the quiet old garden-a
good deal of its especial charm of
quaint beauty improved away now
where she had spent her happy child

small, neat bed cut in the velvet turf,
just in front Of the dining-roOm win

Old Isaac looked at him hesitatlngly
the old man had felt bitterly his
degradation from gardener to odd man,

sneezed at when its almost certain
alternative Is the workhouse. He hard
ly dared to say what was in his mind;

he ventured a timid protest.

Hin muttered David, and moved
away.

at his own boldness.
But Isaac had counted his chickens
too early, for later in the day the
head gardener came round to him,

mentioning one or two little matters,

der the dining-room window leveled
and turfed over-wants 1t done al

The old man was trembling as he
turned away, and when the other was
gone he stood by the little hower-bed
as IL it were a grave, looking dowr
upon 1t with tear-flled eyes. "Brute!
