Africa is a long stretch, but it is a
change DR.. Weber proposes max
ing next month. He is going to
missionary settlement on the
west coast where he will devote
some years to missionary work
among the natives.
DR.. Weber will leave here June
10 and a few weeks later will sail
from New York to Liverpool. AT
Liverpool he will take a passage
on an African coasting steamer to
Great Batango,a German settlement
on the west coast. From thence he
will proceed inland about LOO
miles to Efulen, his final destina-
ton. Efulen is missionary station
in the heart of the Bulu country
and is situated about three degrees
north of the equator. It is a
small settlement and is about as
unhealthy as even a doctor could
desire. Malaria and African fever
"a combination of yellow and
malaria fevers-are up and doing
at Efulen all the year round.
The natives of the district to
which DIR. Weber is going are, OF
course, negroes. They are spoken
of Complementary as Bulus, but
they speak as many different
dialects as the North American
Indians. They are a very primitive,
peace loving people and are eager
to learn and adopt the methods OF
civilization. The district is seldom
visited by white men.
DR.. Weber is graduate oil

clan of this institution on April
10. Previous to that date he was
house physician at the city hospital
of Saltwater. Misplace here will be
filled by DR.. J. L. Millet, a graduate
of the University of Minnesota.

JERusALEM's RUINS.

The Remains OF Mediaeval Church
Discovered.
The Greek Catholic monks, who are
in possession of the chief portion of
the church of the Holy Sepulcher. are
now going to build a bazaar opposite
it, where pilgrims may purchase SOU
venirs of their visit to Jerusalem Dur
ing the process of clearing the site
the foundations of an old medieval
church, forty meters long and thirty
wide, with three apses, were discov-
cred. A number of fine capitals. frag-
ments of basalt pillars and bas-reliefs.
with symbolic animals, were found, all
these remains having, doubtless, be-
lOnged to the choir of the church Last
year a valuable silver shrine. contain
ing a piece of the holy cross and relics
of the Apostles Peter and Paul-ac-
cording, at least, to the inscriptions
on them-was discovered at the same
place. The patriarch of Jerusalem, it
is said, is keeping other discoveries Sc
cret, owing to his dislike of the Ro-
man Catholic church. Those men
toned above are all the more impor-
tant as it can be ascertained to what
church they belonged. According to
the statement of a medieval traveller.
the hospice and the monastery, which
the citizens of Amalfi founded about
the year $40, as a refuge for Western
pilgrims, was situated due south of the
Holy Sepulcher, about stones throw
away. The first church was built in
honor of ST. Mary de Latins. and the
second, the ruins of which have now
been found, in honor of ST. John the
Baptist. The French monk Bernard,
who lived there in $40, highly praised
the hospitality and the large library of
the hospice. A Mohammedan histo-
rian says it was destroyed by the
Kbalif Hakem and rebuilt shortly aft
erward; while, according to another
account, it prospered down to the time
of King Baldwin of Jerusalem, from
HOO to Ills, when the two commune
ties of St Mary and st. John adopted
the latter as their joint protector. This
was the origin of the Knights of St
John. The remains now discovered,
therefore, are the ruins of the cradle
of this order. 1t is most unfortunate
that the preservation of these very in
teresting remains seems impossible,
owing to the ill feeling which exists
between the Greek and Roman Cath
olics in Observation-Disclosures Standard.

The New silks.


Time was, not so long ago. when the
cost of a gown could be plainly dis
cerned by glancing at it. but now it
is to a certain extent different. The
new silks are SO beautifully finished
and SO prettily figured that one is
really deceived in them, and might
easily be mistaken in thinking them
much more expensive than they are
There are Louisine silks, of which
one never tires in praise. and there
are the empire stuffs, that are SO
pretty with their bouquets and their
floral baskets, their wreaths and their
little market punches; and there are
the Persian silks. which really grow
more and more wonderful as the
world goes by.
But besides these there have recent
~ been manufactured many handsome
silks that for beauty of coioring and
delicacy of design will probably never
be excelled. These are sold for small
prices, some of them well within q
dollar yard. and are SO good in color
and texture that they can be made up
very simple. often without any trim
ming but their own figures

Nautical Heir Apparent.

British service papers have noted
that the Prince of Wales is the first
heir apparent to the British crown to
hold an actual commission in the
navy, the senior service on their side
of the water. Hitherto the heir appar-
ent has been put into the army, and
any naval rank he may have held has
been purely honorary The same rule
was followed in the case of the sons of
the present king; Prince Edward was
made soldier, and died while major
in a hussar regiment; Prince George
was made a sailor, and has command
ed his own ship on a regular cruise.
Now, by the death of his elder brother.
he becomes Prince of Wales, the first
of the line to be sailor. Hitherto he
has been promoted rapidly, but with a
decent period of service in each rank,
until he now holds the commission of
a captain. Hereafter his promotion
will be honorary, as it will no longer
be advisable for the heir to the crown
to go to sea in command of a feet or
to take the risks of naval officer
