A nl.t,rIc Punch Bowl.

Quite possibly the most revered piece
OF silver plate in the United States
navy is the massive 1S-pound silver
punch-bowl of the battleship Indiana.
which bears the honorable scars of an
historic battle. During that famous
blockade and naval battle before Santi-
ago de Cuba this rich piece of table
ware was struck by a fragment of a
mortar shell fred from the Socapa
battery, and which burst in the ward
room passage of the battleship. A five
pound bit of the shell struck the bowl
on one of the stoutest parts of the
body. just where the seal of the state
of Indiana forms the central portion
of beautiful decoration. The seal is
still there; not as the artist designed
1t, for it now forms a part of n
large, irregular indentation, which. in
the estimation of the officers and men
OF the battleship. enhances the value
of the bowl a thousand times over

/ have found that persons of clean
life, of honorable, upright, religious

indifference to the approach of death
as those of grosser life do, but well

There is something about the ap-

In all my experience l have never
found case in which dying man or

Pocket
Monkeys

The latest fad in the way of pets is
the pocket monkey. 1t is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country in
his present capacity, and he might be
said to have taken the hearts OF pet
lovers by storm. Now his popularity
has become so great that the men who
make a business of catering to the
whims of the people who like pets say
that the demand for the pocket mon
key is five times as great as the sup
ply. They predict bright future for
the new favorite just as soon as the
people down in Brazil can be made to
understand what a good comm rc,al
article they have and thus be induced
to make a regular business of captur-
ing these monkeys and shipping them
up here.
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior of Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders. He is,
perhaps, the smallest member of the
monkey family known, being about
five inches long, but with tail that is
sometimes three times as long as his
body. He belongs to the marmot fam
lily of monkeys, and is extremely neat
in person and Clearly of habit If it
wasn't for those characteristics, he
would not be holding the place he does
in the hearts of those who have in
vested in him.

These vessels are whitewashed on the

CONCEALED blocks of wax. The blocks
obtained are from fifteen to twenty
five inches high, have diameter OF
from thirty to thirty-six inches. and
weigh from ESQ to $50 pounds. By far
the larger portion of the raw ozocer-
lite used in Austria is manufactured
into ceserin, there being in that coun-
try about twenty refineries. 1t is
doubtful If the process employed by
any two of them are identical. In
most Of the refining works the wax is
mixed with from six to ten per cent of
sulphuric acid, heated and filtered
through bone, charcoal, or spodium.
This colors it light yellow. 1t is treat

But modern innovations are strangers
to sympathy The railway from Joppa
to Jerusalem, at first an experiment,
is now run on strictly business prin-

projected to connect Jerusalem with
Bethlehem, Bethany, the Lake of Gal

other places, while in the city itself
there are electric lights, telephones
and other modern conveniences. In

Cooled by the gentle movement of
big palm-leaf fans, party of friends
sat on the piazza, calmly talking Of
the heat. Presently one of them said:
Suppose we describe in turn the

What place? What conditions?"
The suggestion was received with
favor and here are some Of the re-
