WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.
BY THEo. JOHNSON.

Ninevsh, thou great and wond-
erlul city of the dead. When Ma
bapalassar of Babylonia, marched
against thee, (about 623 years B.
c. sacked and laid the waste,
destroying thy magnificent temples
carrying thy people into bon dage'
thy glory forever fled and the
breath of the Almighty swept
over thee and buried thee out of
sight of man; so that Xenophon
with the 10000 Greeks camped
near thy grave but knew it not.
(B. G. 401 } And the great victory
of Alexander over Darius (B. c..
33l.) was won almost over thy
silent resting place, yet he knew
it not. Nor when Heraclins de-
feated the mighty Persian army
CA. D 626.) little dreamed he that
beneath his feet thou was slum-
bering, in fulfillment of prophecy,
never more to rise again, Zeph.
End ch. V. 13, says: "And He
shall stretch out his hand against
the north. and distroy Assyria,
and will make Nineveh a desola-
ton" (See Nahume 1st ch. v.3,
and End ch. v. 8; and Ezekiel 91st
ch. V. 3, 10, IL, 12) And Isaiah
spoke of the beginning of thy
doom. -37th CHI. V. 36. 81, 38. In
thy glory thou didst sack the ma
tions and cities on all sides of
thee, murdered kings, and carried
innocent women and children into
bondage, and thy soul didst wreak
with blood, yea, the blood of the
holy city erusalem. Thou vast
rich with the spolls OF many ma
tions, but thou art desolate. Thy
resting place being discovered in
1S4S, which for 1000 years was
shrouded in mystery. But mod
ern inginuity hath disturbed thy
slumbers, and the God of Israel
is now speaking through thy hid
den mysteries, treasured up
against this age OF inidelity, to
and gain.saying peo-
pie, for upon thy walls comes
wonderful historic accumen, Of
which we will treat in our next.

UNDERGROUND WORKERS.
pie Who DeIve in the Earth
for a Living.

According TO recent computation
made in France there are 1885, 900 per-
sons of both sexes who spend their
lives procuring from the earth such
indispensable products as coal, metals
and salt, as well as other like precious
stones, which cannot be classed among
the necessaries. Most of these toilers
spend their working hours far below
the surface. Not many years ago the
treatment which thousands of them
received, and particularly the women
and children who toiled in the deep
coal mines in Great Britain, became
public scandal. The adoption of hui
name laws led to change in the dis
graceful conditions under which they
worked and lived The miners of the
world have now a pleasant existence
compared with that which they led
few decades ago, says the New York
Sun.
In no part of the world are there 50
many underground workers, in pro-
portion to total population, as in the
South African Republic. These work
ers are in the gold mines, and practic-
ally all are negroes under white over
seers. The worst thing about their
life is that the Beers of the Transvaal
have never consented to suppress the
liquor saloons near the mines. The
Transvaal government has drawn a
large revenue from these saloons by
means of a heavy license tax The re-
suit is that most of the black miners
have spent large part of their earn
ings in drink and many murders, rob-
berries and other crimes have occurred.
Thousands of black men also work in
the deep diamond mines at Kimberley.
The most peculiar feature of their en- +
ployment is that during the term of |
their contract they are prisoners.
They live inside large compound sur
rounded by a high board fence on
which guards are mounted as on the
walls Of Sing Sing prison. Every
morning they are marched out to the
mines and every night they are
marched back again. Inside the COM
pound are the rude cabins IN which
they sleep; and here and there are
shops where they may buy everything
they require. Liquor, however, is kept
away from them, and so the years
spent in the mines are far more profit
able to them in every way than is the
case among the gold miners.
The United Kingdom has over one
tenth of all the subterranean workers
Of the world. They are mainly en-
gagged in the coal and iron mines of
western and central England and
south Scotland and in the tin mines
Of Cornwall. Many of the iron and coal
mines have now reached great depths
and the day is not far distant when
,ome of them will be abandoned, as il
will be cheaper to import than to sink
to greater depths for mineral.
The United Kingdom has nearly
vice as many miners as there are in
he United States. Germany also gives
work to more miners than this coun-
ry employs; and yet this country
urns out a great deal more iron and
oal than either of those kingdoms
Dhe reason why we obtain far great
r product with a much smaller min |,
ng force is that we use a great deal of
mining machinery; so that
hough we pay the highest wages the
ost of mining is less in this country
han in most European lands.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF FADs.

naturally underestimate thelr In
huence.
As fads are essentially American
and the locality where they thrlv,
best seems TO be the United States
we have not seen ourselves al
others see us, and therefore have
not philosophical and speculateC
upon the national tendency tC
erraticalness. Fads grow out oi
commercial enterprise. "The
latest thing" is the magic phrase
which starts them.
The inventive genius back of
the world of commerce is worthy a
feast or a fast day in the almanac,
and is as truly worshiped as were
some OF the NEUROLOGICAL gods of
the Egyptians. Fads are also sbe
natural outgrowth Of a restless, en-
terprising, experimenting, nervous
race, a race which loves things
novel and exciting. Hence, we
have fads, fads harmful and harm
less, fads in dress, fads in speech,
fads in needle work and architec-
ture, fads in social customs, edu.
cation, politics and religion.
Other countries have fixed Gus
toms and costumes. They have
distinctive styles in architecture
and wooven materials. The Chi
nese, Egyptians, Turks, Japanese,
Scotch and others have dressed in
their own respective styles and
held their same distinct religions
for hundreds of years, some of
them for thousands Of years.
Think of it America could
never endure such monotony.
Faddism is expensive to the in
dividual but benefits commerce.
Our women have from time to
time, doomed to inactivity set
after set of their own muscles, and
have sometimes condemned to se-
we're restrictions sets of bones as
well. Is this not admirable devo
tion to the gods of fads?
There have been marvellous
transformations from brunettes to
blonds, and from blonds to bru-
nettes. There have been tapering
toes, elongated necks and mould
ings from the Grecian bend to the
Marie Antonette dip, and still our
women move and have their be-
ing.
Our men bedecked in buttons
and badges are recovering from the
Trilby toothpicks. Their efforts
toward physical transformation
proves detrimental to business,
hence they develop fads in other
lines. Advertising gives them a
good opportunity to sell Rough
Rider goods, Klondike goods or
Carrie Nation hatchets.
Variety is restiul. Fads may
develop individualism, but extreme
iaddism ndangers eindividualism .
and obliterates discrimination.
No one wishes to lose individ. q
ial force of character. Nothing is
much more disgusting to the stu !
lent of human nature than affec-
alton. Our country above all s
'thers gives opportunity for de- .
Ieloping individual cast, talent
nd character. While fads flourish
nd "the latest thing" meet our !
yes on every side, may sense and +
discrimination protect Us. I'd

The interest laws Of China. with
which the operations Of banking are
intimately connected, date from the
year 1850 Of our era. The enormous
rate Of interest is euriously defended
by several writers. 1t results, they
say. in securing economy in order that
the borrower may repay the loan, in
producing greater industry, in deter.
ring persons from borrowing. in reduc,
ing the number Of renters Of land, thus
increasing the number Of land owners
and in inducing circumspeeiion in re,

stated by men Of business that this
30 per cent. is also a maximum founded
on the probability that the oscillations
in the price Of silver will never exceed
that sum. II must be understood also
that the ordinary rate Of interest rare
IL exceeds 20 or % per cent, and that
money may be had as low as ~ pei

ceeds even so per cent Forum.

good Paine's celery compound has done
