mentation which the Mexican fancy can suggest. The lower part of the face was coucealed by a silk handkerchief of bril- liant color, leaving a small aperture for breathing purposes. Down the back floated vari-colored streamers, and capes of rich material drooped gracefully from the shoulders. In one handthey carried scroll work that looked like the substantial side of a paper rack and with the other they rattled their prettily decorated castanets in tune with the monotonous movements of the dance. Some of the dancers were distinguished in an original and startling way, which, tothe American onlooker, lent ridicule to the whole inane proceeding. Over their velvet trousers were drawn ab- breviated balloon pantalettes of the style so affected by the comic paper cartoonists in their sketches of the aunties of colored society.

Around the flaming fagot fires they formed and amid a silence as profound as avraveyard at night they circled these tributes to the saint, never changing the step, but varying the movements of the body at command of the leader. Some- times they would bow and scrape to the flames, and then fall to the earth and squirm and wriggle like so many horrid snakes. It wasa weird seene. The glow from the fires dreadfully accentuated the painted faces of the Indians, who stood stoically silent, with no manifestation of approval or displeasure. ‘They formed a lurid background toa decidediy dramatic ceremony. ‘he senors themselves, mantled in their scrapes, were an interesting part of thestage group, and the gaunt and sal- low faces of the senoras seemed to reflect the spirit of superstition that swayed the scene. The dancers never appeared to grow tired. It was “Oh, on with the dance” all the time, until a diversion was created by the sudden appearance of an evil spirit in the makeup ofabull. This fellow wore horns, and the greater part of his body was incased in the hide of the animal that shows so much antipathy to red.

sasacesdbiclabcikcecaiadssieeaailiaheiptts Sa Rational Disinfection.

A practical unanimity of opinion may be said to prevail at present among phy- sicians and chemists that the following methods ef disinfection have proved the most effeetive and trustworthy: All fa- bries which will not be injured in the pro- cess are to be boiled in water for at least four hours, and fabrics which will not stand this treatment require to be sub- jected to the action of dry heat for a much longer time. Furniture, ete., may be treated with a four-tenths per cent. solu- tion of carbolic acid. All articles which have been in actual use by a patient are to be burned, the walls of the room must be thoroughly rabbed down with bread, which is afterward to be burned, and the sputa and excrements of the patient treated at enee with chloride of lime German authorities advocate the employment of steam and heat, maintaining that these are cheap and efficient agents, being also highly penetrable and at the same time are dangerous to but few household articles, Of the three chemical agents destructive of disease germs viz.: carbolic acid, corro- sive sublimate and chloride of lime, the last is the least expensive and dangerous.

The Christmas Hobby Horse,

Among the diversions cf the season in the olden time was the hobby horse. It is said to have originated in Cornwali, where, according to tradition, the Scench once effected a landing at a small cove on the coast, but seeing at a distance a num- ler of women dressed in their red Cornish cloaks they mistook them for soldiers, and fleeing to their ships put to sea. The boys and young men thereupon disported them- selves by prancing around in imitation of a horse, With poles between their legs. In Kent the f-stivities of Christmas com- menced, with a curious procession called hodening of young people, who had with them the stuffed head of a dead horse, which they fixed on a pole covered with a horse cloth. One of them got under this cloth and walked about, pulling a string attached to the lower jaw of the skeleton, thus making a loud snapping noise, which was accompanied by the others, who were grotesquely attired, with hand bells in thear hands, They went from house to house and were given beer, cake or money.

ON MOUNT SINAI

LIFE AND CUSTOMS OF THE CHRISTIAN COLONY THERE LOCATED.

Impressive Sights to Be Seen in the Rug- ged Religious Community—The Precious Library in Charge of the Chief Monk— —How the Monks Spend Their Lives.

The present condition of the convent on Mount Sinai is thus described by a recent writer in the Guardian: “It is 2n impres- sive thing thus tocome upon a Christian colony and a Christian church in the rocky heart of the Sinaitie peninsula; a colony which can trace its ancestry to the earliest days of Byzantine Christianity, 1 church which be:ts witness to the faith of Justin- ian and Theodora, of Cosmas and Damian, of Catherine of Alexandria, and Catherine of Russia. ‘he convent itself isa mass of buildings, heavily fortressed; there were days when it had to defend itself against Moslem persecution and Bedouin marau- ders.

“The monks within, some twenty or thirty in number, are uncouth and un- kempt to the last degree. Hardly a sign of the effects of the religious life can be seeu in their faces, many of them repul- sive enough, But no visitor can fail to re- member with gratitude their kindly and unaffected welcome. Their feelings to- ward the English church are most friend- ly, and if an English priest is among the travelers he is taken within the screen and allowed to kneel before the aliar, and to take part in the celebration of the liturgy. Yhe church is a fine basilica, richly but tastefully decorated and well cared for. Its chief artistic treasure is the superb mosaic work in the apse, of the seventh or eighth century, representing the trans- figuration, to which the church is dedica- ted. As a rule there are three services daily, announced with chiming of bells and beating of the gong, at four and six a.m., and twoin the afternoon (vespers), The eucharist is celebrated generally twice a week, and on saints’ day.

“Beyond attending the services, the monks do not seem to have much to do. Study, of course, they never dream of. There isa great deal of baking of bread and brewing of date wine always going on, as well as some lazy whitewashing; there are the olives and vines in the garden to be looked after; but for the most part the inmates live a life of serene and vacant idleness. Of the chief officers the prior seems to be a nonentity, the mosa promi- nent person being the steward, who under takes the services and the internal econo- my of the house. Next in importance secretary, a young man in deacon’s orders, with some pretensions to education, possessed of a good-natured heart and a minimum of bad French.

“The precious library js under his charge, though he knows nothing at all about it, and handles the MSS. in a way that is harrowing to one’s feelings. But things are better now than they were once. The books are housed in three rooms with glazed windows; they are labelled, num- bered, and most of them catalogued. Their contents have not yet been completely explored; but the latest researches war- rant the belief that the principal treasures have been exhausted, and that another Codex Sinaiticus is uot likely to be dis- covered in a waste-paper basket.”

comes the

Vast Armaments of Europe.

Thirteen million bayonets prop up the ezar’s throne. That is the full strength of the Russian army on a war footing. Ger- many comes next, but after a long inter val, with 3,700,000 soldiers; Italy has 3,155,- 00 and France 2,850,000, excluding 350,000 auxiliaries Austria’s fine army, which in quality is reckoned scarcely second to Kai- ser Wilhelm’s, contains a maximum of 1,794,175 men. England at home and in her colonies can mobilize a force of 662,- 000. The little martial republic of Switz- erland can summon 486,000 soldiers to her banners in an emergency, and eyen pover- ty-cursed Spain boasts of 409,000. Austria, of all the powers, bas the most burdensome military establishment. Her annual ex- penditures on her army are $255,000,000, while Russia’s, with an army seven times as large, are only 186,000,000, and Ger- many’s €113,000,000. Inu proportion to size England's army is, perhaps, the most costly. Her 662,000 men require $89,000,- 000 annually for their support, or only $38,000,000 less than the amount which provides France with an enormous host of more than four times England's numbers. —Boston Journal,

“Have Another Prayer or Two!"

A good story of poor Villiers’, the war correspouden’, whose death in the war in the East is reported this week, was told me by Captain Charles Reade, R. N.,a nephew of the novelist of that name. Cap- tain Reade happened to be in a certain town in England one evening and found that Villiers’ was to lecture there on his experiences as & war correspondent. The lecture was under the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian Association. The proceedings were opened with prayer and then Villiers’ began his address. When he had got half way through he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, the most interest ing portion of the evening’s entertainment has now arrived—an interval of five min- utes. J am going out for a minute or two. While lam away you enjoy yourselves; have another prayer or two!”

A Man With a Long Head,

A Texas military company were ont to the range recently, practicing at rifle- shooting. The lieutenant in command suddeniy became exasperated at the poor shooting, and, seizing a gun from one of the privates, cried angrily, “I’ll show you fellows how to shoot!’ Taking a long aim, and a strong aim, and an aim altogetier, he missed. Cooly turning to the private who owned the gun, he said, *““That’s the way you shoot.’ He again loaded the weapon and missed. Turning to the sec- ond man in the ranks he remarked, “That's the way you shoot.” In this way he contrived to miss about fifty or sixty times illustrating to each scldier his per- sonal incapacity, and finally he accident- ally hit the target. “And that,” he ejac- ulated, handing the gun back to the pri- yate, “is the way I shoot.” 5

Know When loebergs Are Near.

The captain of an ocean steamer in most cases finds out when his vessel is approach- ing «n iceberg from the men down in the engine-room. That sounds queer, but it is a fact, nevertheless. Itappears that when a steamship enters water considerably colder than that through which it has been going its propeller rons faster. Such water usually surrounds the vicinity of bergs for many miles. When the propel ler’s action, therefore, is accelerated with- out the steam power being increased word is passed up to the officer on the bridge that bergs may be expected and a close lookout for them is established. —Washing- LOD St@h— ee eee,
