The Dead Sea Level.

A marked rise in the level of the Dead
Sea has been noted. The ruin, Ell Bahr,
that stood like an island near the River
Jordan, is now completely under water.
A broad lagoon has formed on the
north side Of the Jordan delta. The
water does not sink in summer and ii
is surmised that the whole bottom of
the Dead Sea has been raised by vol

Our Working
Girls.

Life to the most favored is not always
full of sunshine, but to the average
American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living, and, perhaps
to help others at home, life is often
heavy drag in consequence of illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations,
such as bacl1ache, pains in the lower
limbs and lower part of the stomach,
irregular and painful monthly periods.

I cards, which answered the purpose ex-
cellently.
An hour or two was passed with Miss
Taylor in conversation upon various topics
which might lead the really estimable
young lady to diyulge all she knew about
the Captain, or concerning his wherea-
bouts and business, which was certainly
not much.
1t appeared that Immediately after the
embezzlement, and while at st. Louis,
Taylor had telegraphed to his brother,
Robert, to meet him at New Orleans at
a certain time, as he was going into busi-
ness in that section, and should need his
services, for which he would be able to
pay him handsomely; the brothers had met
there and had proceeded to some other
point; the Captain claiming that it would
be injudicious to make that fact known,
as he had also sent a full and complete
confession to his parents of his embezzle-
ment from Kuhn Brothers. which he had
directed them to burn, and which he fin
ished by requesting his family not to
write to either himself or his brother for
some time to come: or at least until he
should indicate to them that it would be
safe to do SO; and under no circumstances
to give any person an iota of informa-
ton concerning himself or his brother.
My son left Miss Taylor's hOspitable

1867, either afoot or by some mode Of
conveyance unknown to the clerk of the
house, and that they left the house in an
omnibus at o'clock on the morning Of the
third day following.
Naturally the next inquiries were d.
ricted to ascertaining to what boat or
railroad lines omnibuses could be ordered
at that hour of the morning; if to different
ones, then to discover who had driven the
particular omnibus which conveyed Tay-
lor and his brother from the hotel; and
then make an effort to learn to what point
they had been conveyed. This, however,
proved less difficult than had been feared; +;
for it was found that on the morning in
question the omnibus had gone from the
hotel to but one point, and that was to
the ferry connecting with Berwick Bay
route, by the New Orleans Il OpelousaS
Railroad and the Gulf, to Galveston, al
though large number Of passengers had
been booked, and it was impossible to as
certain whether Taylor and his brother
had actually gone that route or not,
though everything was in favor of that
presumption.
The death of Gen. Rousseau had caused
quite a commotion in New Orleans, and it
seemed pretty hard matter to get any
thing further of a definite character in
that place: and 1 therefore instructed my
son and Detective Heating to proceed
Slowly 10 galveston, stopping at brdsneaE
City. where Taylor might have diyerged-
he had taken that route with
the other passengers from New Orleans
and to particularly search passenger lists
aboard any lines of boats, and all hotel
registers, before arriving ut Galveston, so
as to have the work done thoroughly near
est the base OF operations.
In Brashear conductors of trains were
applied to; the hotel and omnibus men
were questioned, the Postmaster was ap.
pealed to, and even the passenger-lists of
the boats which had been in port, and to

The complete novel in Lippincott's

The special features of the American
Monthly Review of Reviews are a charac-
ter sketch of England's new Queen, Alex-

careers of the late Gen. Harrison, by
Gen. L. J. Morgan, and the late ex-Sena-
tor William M. Evarts, by Albert Shaw,
with many portraits; an article entitled
"France on the Wrong Track" by Baron
ritOry. its Status, Development, and Fu-
ture," by Col. Richard J. Hinton.
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Jerome X. Jerome, although seldom taken
seriously at home has been taken au pied
la lettre in Germany. His Three Men
on Wheels" an apparently fippant
enough book, has been adopted in Ger
classes in English. Germans take their
pleasures seriously.
The cover OF the Ledger Monthly for
April represents rich display OF Easter

quisite color print, picture worth franz
ing.

Personal "reminiscences of Queen Vic

sorts of useful and home-life suggestions.
The April North American Review
might be called a Tolstoy number, the
name of the great Russian novelist ap-
pearing on the title-page in connection
with the three leading articles. The first
is a powerful paper by Count Tols;oy, en-
titled 'gThe Root OF the Evil" in which he
discloses what he regards as the funda-
mental cause of the inequality which
characteriZes the circumstances of differ
ent classes of men under the existing con-
stitution of society.
