Then J drew my horse up under a mimosa tree, and I took the saddle from liiin Kiid loft him to feed among the parched bushes. And all to right and loft stretched the brown earth. And I sat down under the tree because the heal beat fiercely, and all along the horizon the air throbbed. And after a white a heavy drowsiness came over me, and J laid uiv head down aguinst my sad dle, and I fell asleep there. Ami iu my sleep I had a curious dreuni. I thought I stoo'l ou the border of a great desert, and the sand blew about everywhere. And I thought I saw two great figures like beasts of burden of the desert, and one lay upon the sand with its neck stretched out, and one stood by it. And I looked curi ously at the one that lay upon the ground, for it had a great burden on its back, and the saud was thick about it, so that it seemed to have piled over it for centuries. And 1 looked very curiously at it. And there stood one beside me watch lug. And 1 said to him, "What is this huge creature who lies on the satidi"' And he said, "This is woman; she that bears men in her body." And I said, "Why does she lie here motionless with the sand piled around hei-P" And he answered, "Listen, I will tell you! Ages and ages long she has lain here, and the wind has blown over her. The oldest, oldest man living has never seen her move; the oldest, oldest book records that she lay here thcu, as she lies here now, with the sand about her. Hut liHlen! Oder than the oldest book, oliler ill 111 I lie oldest recorded memory of man, 011 the rocks of Lan guage, on tho hiird-baked clay of Ancient Custom, now crumbling to decay, are found 1I111 marks of her foot steps! tSide by side with his who stands beside her you may traco them; and you know tliat she who now lies there once wondered free over the rocks with liiw." And I said, "Why docs she lie there nowP" And he said, "I take It, ages ago tho Age - of dominion - of - muscular-force found her, aud when tdio stooped low to give suck to her young, and her back was broad, lie put his burden of subjection on to it, ami tied it on with the broad band of Inevitable Necessity. 1 hen she looked at tho earth and the sky, and knew there was no hope for her; aud she lay down on the sand with tho burden she could not loosen. Kvcr since she has lain here. Aud the ages have come and the ages have gone, but tho band of Inevitable Neces sity lias not been cut." And 1 looked and saw in her eyes the terrible patience of the centuries; tho ground was wet with her tears.aud her nostrils blew up the saud. And I said, "lias she ever tried to move?" Aud he said, "Sometimes a limb has quivered. Hut she is w ise; she knows she cannot rise with the burden ou her." And I said, "Why does not he w ho stands by her leave her aud go out" "And he said, "lie cannot. Look And I saw broad baud passing along the ground from one to the oth er, aud it bound them together. He said, "While she lies there lie must stand aud look across the desert." Aud 1 said, "Does lie know why he canuot move?" And lie said, "No." And 1 heard a sound of something crackling, aud 1 looked aud 1 saw the band that bound the burdeu ou to her back broken asunder; aud the burden rolled on the ground. Aud I said, "What Is this?" And he said, "The Age-of-inuscular-force is dead. The Age-of-nervous-force has killed him with the kuiftt he held in his hand; aud silently and in visibly he has crept up to the wmuau, aud with that knife of Mechanical lu vuution h has cut the baud that bound the burden to her back. The Inevita ble Necessity is broken. She wight rise now." And I saw that she still lay motion less on the sand, with her eyes open and her neck stretched out. Aud she seemed to look for something 011 the far-off border of the des i t that never came. Aud I woudered if she were awake or asleep. And as I looked her body quivered, and a light came into her eyes, like when a siThVam 'breaks Into a dark room. I said, "What is it?" He whispered, "Hush! the thought has come to her. 'Might I not rise?'" And I looked. Aud she raised her head from the sand, and I saw the dent where her neck had lain so long. And she looked at the earth, and she looked at the sky, and she looked at him who stood by her; but he looked out across the desert. And I saw the body quiver; and she pressed her front knees to the earth, and her veins stood out; aud I cried, "She is going to rise!" . But only her sides heaved, and she lay still where she was. Hut her head she held up; she did not lay it down again. And he beside me said. "She is very weak. See her legs have been crushed under her so long." And I saw the creature struggle; aud the drops stood out on her. Audi Slid, "Surely he who stands beside her will help her?" And he beside me answered, "He cannot help her; she must help her self. Let her struggle till she is strong." And I cried, "At least he will not hinder her! See. lie moves farther from her, and tightens the cord be tween them, aud he drags her down." And he answered, "Ho does not un derstand. When she moves she draws the band that binds them and hurts him, and he moves farther from her. The day will como when he will un derstand, and will know what she is doing. Let her once stagger on to her knees, iu that day he will stand close to her and look into her eyes with sympathy." And she stretched her neck, aud the drops fell from her. And the creature rose an inch from the earth and sank bank. Aud I cried, "O, she is too weak I she cannot walk! The loug years have taken all her strength from her. Can she never move?" And he answered me, "See the light iu her eyes?" And slowly the creature staggered on to its knees. And I awoke; aud all to the east and to the west stretehed the barren earth with the dry bushes on it. The ants ran up aud dowu iu the red sand, and the heat beat fiercely. I looked up through the thin branches of the trees at the blue sky overhead. I stretched myself, aud I mused over the dream 1 had had. And I fell asleep again with my head on my saddle. Aud in the fierce heat I had another dream. I saw a desert and I saw a woman coming out of it. And she came to the bank of a dark river; and the bank was steep aud high. And on it an old The hanksof an African river are some times a hundred leut high, and consists of deep shitting saints, through which lu the course of ages the river has worn its glgaullu bed. man met her, who had a long, white beard; and a stick in his hand, and on It was writteu Reason. And he asked her what she wauled, aud she said, "1 am a woman, aud I am seeking for the Land of Freedom." And ho said, "It is before you." Aud she said, "I see nothing befoob me but a dark, flowing river and a bunk steep and high, andcuttings hero ami there with heavy sand in them." And he said, "And beyond that?" She said, "I see nothing, but some times, when I shade my eyes with niv hand, I think I see on the further banl trees aud hills, and the sou shining on them!" He said, "That is the Laud of Free dom." She said, "How am I to get there?" Ho said, "There is one way, and one only. Down the banks of Labor, through the water of suffering. There is no other." She said is there no bridge?" Ho answered, "None." She said, "Is the water deepP" He said, "Deep." She said, "Is the floor worn?'' Ho said, "It Is. Your foot mav slip at any time, ami you may be lost.' She said, "Have any crossed al ready?" Ho said, "Some have tried!" She said, "is there a track to show where tho best fording is?" He said, "It has to be iiiadV." She shaded her eyes with her hand, and she said. "1 will go." Aud he said, "You must take olT the clothes you wore iu the desert; thoy are dragged dowu by them who go in to the water so clothed.'' And she threw from her gladly the mantle of Ancient-reeeived-opinioiis she wore, for it was worn full of holes. And she took the girdle from her waist that she had treasured so long, aud the moths Hew out of it iu a cloud. Aud he said, "Take the shoes of dcpcndcuoc off your feet." Aud she stood there uaked, but fot one while garment that clung close to her. And he said, "that jou mav keep. So they wear clothes in the Land of Freedom, lu the water it buoys; it always swims." And I saw ou its breast was written Truth; and it was white; the sun had uot often shone ou it; the other clothe had covered it up. And he said, "Take this stick; hold it fast, lu that day when it slips from your hand you are lost. Tut it down before you; feel your way; where it cannot liud a bot tom do uot set your fool." Aud she said, "1 am ready; let 10 go." Aud he said. "No -but stay: what I; that lu your breast?" She was sileut. He said, "Open it and let me see." Aud she opened it. Aud against her breast was a tiny thing, who drank from it, aud the yellow curls above liii forehead pressed against it; and his knees were drawu up to her. and he held her breast fast w ith his hands. And Reason said, "Who is he, and what is he doing hero?" And she said, "See his little wings 11 A lid Reason said, "Put him down." Aud she said, "He is asleep, and he Is drinking! I will carry him to the Land of freedom. He lias lnvn child so loug. so loug I have carried him. We will walk together there, and his great white wings will over shadow me. lie has lisped one word puly to me in tho desert Pasiou!' I haV fl t eamed lie might learn lb sav Friendship' iu that land." And Reason said, "I'ut him down!" Aud she said, "I will carry him so with one arm, and with the o'ther I will fight the water." He said. "Lay him down on the ground. When you are in the water you will forget to tight. You will thiuk only of him. Lay him down." He said. "He will not die. When he hrxls you have left him alone he will open his wings and fly. He will lie in the Land of Freedom before you. Those who reach the Laud of Freedom, the first hand they see stretched down the bank to help them shall be Love's. He will be a man then, not a child. In your breast he cannot thrive; put him down, that he may grow." And she took her bosom from his mouth, aud he bit her. so that the blood ran down on to the ground. And she laid him down on the earth! and she covered her wound. And she bent and stroked his wings. And I saw the hair ou her forehead turned white as snow, and she had changed from youth to age. And she stood far off ou the bank of the river. And she said, "For what do I go to this far land which no one has ever readied? O, I am alone! I am utterly alone!" And Reason, that old man, said to her, "Silence! what do you hear?" And she listened intently, and she said, "I hear a sound of feet, a thous and times ten thousand and thousands of thousands and they beat this way!" He said. "They are the feet of those that shall follow you. Lead on! make a track to the water's edge! Where you stand now the ground will be beat en Mat by ten thousand times ten thous and feet." And lie said, "Have you seen the locusts how thoy cross a streami1 First one comes down to the water-edge, and it is swept away, and then another comes, aud theu another, and then another, aud at last with their bodies piled up a bridge is built, aud the rest pass over." She said, "And of those that come first some are swept away aud are heard of no more; their bodies do uot even build the bridge?" "And are swept away, and are heard of no more and what of thai?" he said. "And what of that " she said. "Thev make a track to the water's edge." " "They make a track to the water's edge " And she said, "Over that bridge which shall be built with bodies, who will pass?" Ho said, "The entire human race." And the woman grasped her staff. And I saw her turn dowu that dark path to the .river. And I awake; aud all about me was the yellow afternoon light; the sink ing sun lit up the lingers of the milk bushes; and my horse stood by me quietly feeding. And 1 turned 011 my side, aud 1 watched the ants run by thousands iu the red saud. 1 thought I would go ou my way now the after uoou was cooler. Theu a drow siness crept over me again, and I laid hack my head aud fell asleep. And 1 dreamed a dream. 1 dreamed I saw a laud. Aud ou the hills walked brave women and brave men, hand in ham!. And they looked into each other's eyes, and they were uot afraid. And I saw the women also hold each other's hands. And I said to him beside me, "What place is this?" And he said, "This is heaven." And I said, "Where is it?" And he answered, "On earth." And I said, "When shall these things be?" And he answered, "Iu the future." And I awoke, and all about me was the sunlight; and on the low hills the sun lay, and a delicious coolness had crept over everything; and the ants were going slowly home. And I walk ed toward my horse, who stood quietly feeding. Then the sun passed down behind the hills; but I kuew that the next day he would rise again. Oliver Sehrciner in the Fortnightly Review. The Chopsticks. "They cut their food with their dag gers, and they eat with pitchforks!" cried the horrified Japanese who lirst saw Europeans eating in such a bar banc and revolting manner w ith the knife and fork. Light-fingered, deft, and imitative as the Japauese and Chinese are, it takes them as long to learn the proper and graceful use of the knife aud fork as it requires for ns to master the evolu tions and etiquette of the chopsticks. It is a pretty sight, at the beginning of a Japanese feast, to see the host help his guests to sweets, as then is dis played the best and most graceful play of the chopsticks. One can take a lesson, as the mastor of the feast daint ily lifts cakes or confections aud places them on a paper before the guest. The Chinese chopsticks are longer thau the Japanese, often metal-tipped and decorated, and are used again aud again. Mandarins carry their own silver-tipped ivory chop-sticks to a feast, wipe them clean, and carry them home again when it is over, lu the common restaurants in Chinese cities, the chopsticks constitute a lottery for the patrons. All the sticks are kept to gether in a deep, round box, aud cer tain ones are marked ou the lower end with a Chinese character or number. The ones who select these chopsticks from he box, are entitled to au extra dish or portion without charge, lu the old city of Tien-Tsin, particularly, one is half deafened when he passes a restaurant by the rattling of the boxes of chopsticks and the shrill voices of the proprietors screeching the merits of their establishments at the top of their lungs. In Japan, where exquisite neatness and daintiness mark every part of household living, the same chopsticks are used only ouoe. At a feast, or at an ordinary tea-house, a long paper envelope laid beside one's bowl con tains a pair of twelve-inch sticks no thicker than lead pencils, whittled from clean white pine. To show that they have never been used the two sticks are whittled in oue piece and split apart oply half their length I'liia Runamah Scidmore, in St. Ktcfiolas. Feminine Drews In Japan. Having been soaped and dried the Japauese girl takes a long strip of cot ton or silk, according to her taste or condition, the strip being about eight een inches wide and thtee yards long. Holding the upper corner of one end of the cloth jnsi over the left hip she wiuds the strip tightly around the loins aud hips, fastening it by tucking the end corner in the belt so made, says the San Francisco Chronicle. This might be called the Japanese corset, except that, instead of compressiug tho waist, it squeezes the low er abdominal portions aud upper hip. When proper ly put on it makes an almost rigid bandage, and it is this which gives that peculiar little shuffle atfil swing to the original Yuiii-Yuiii's walk, the legs be ing really only movable from the knee down. Most writers have ascribed this waddle to the wearing of high wooden clogs, but this is a mistake. The meu wear clogs, but they walk as freely as an Indian. The kilt, so to speak, having beeu adjusted, the Japanese girl then slips on a little, loose, sleeveless jacket again either of cotton or silk which comes down to the loin cloth, and over that a blouse or short kimono: then an other a little longer, two or three of these, then the kimono, and then the obi or bow. All these undergarments and the kimono itself nre crossed in front and are open at the neck. Each is decorated at the neck with a strip of colored crape, and the whole is so ar ranged that these strips show oue be neath the other. Sometimes a belle show a half dozen or more of these dif ferent colored strips, the effect being quite raiubowish. If the weather is w arm the inner garments are dispensed with, and the parti-colored silks are sewed to the inner side of the kiuonio in a number of plaits. Stockings the Japaueso woman does uot wear, except those w ho have adopt ed the Europeau fashions, while the shoe is either a sandal or a clog. No matter what the form of the sandal or clog, the method of attachment is al ways the same a soft loop into which the foot is thrust, with a thong to pass between the great toe aud the others. The sandal (zari) is nearly always made with a straw sole and quilted top, aud is used tor indoor wear, while the clog (gita) is of wood. Their height is regulated by the "tony" aspirations of the wearer, just as French heels of ex cessive height is worn by our owu fash ionable sisters. It is in her obi, or sash, however, that the Japanese belle takes her great est pride. Ordinarily it is tied behind in a bow about a foot square at the back, resembling a cartridge-box iu shape, lint there are times wheu this modest little bow will not suffice, aud there are ladies who go to excesses iu the size of the obi. It is made out of black silk, folded to be fully a yard wide, and it is tied iu a bow whose ends extend fully three across. Moreover, it is w orn iu front aud a little to tho side, and alto gether is a very stunning affair. Some Uses For Ilorni. Sprinkle places infested by ants with borax aud you will soon be rid of them. Blankets and furs put away well spriukled with borax aud done up air tight, will never be troubled with moths. A little borax put in the water before washing red, or red-bordered table cloths and napkins, will prevent their fading. Ringworms will yield to borax treat ment. Apply a strong solution of borax three times a day; also dust on the tino drv powder very often. Silver spoons and forks, in daily use, may be kept bright by leaving in . strong borax water several hours. Tho water should be boiling whon they are put in. Put a teaspnonful of borax in your rinsing water; it will whiten the clothes.and also remove the yellow cast on garments that have been laid aside for two or three years. One of the best things to cleanse the scalp thoroughly, is to dissolve one-half teaspoonful of borax in a quart of water and apply it. rubbing it in well. Rinse thoroughly iu clear water. For washiug tine nice flannels, noth ing will cause them to look so nice as borax iu the water, a tablespoonful of borax to a pail of water being the right proportion. Always wash baby's little llauuel skirts, shirts, etc., iu this. Always wash baby's mouth and gums every morning with water iu which you have put a pinch of borax. It keeps the mouth fresh and sweet, and prevents that uueomfortable affliction, a sore mouth, with which so many poor babies are troubled when their mouths are uot kept perfectly clean. liorax water is excellent for spong ing either silk or wool goods, that are not soiled enough to need washiug. lu washing cashmere or wool goods, put a little borax in the water. This will cleanse them much more easily and better.w ithout injury to the colors. Do uot rub them on a board, but use the hands, and throw on a line without w ringing. Press them on the wrong side, and they will look almost like new. Oovtl liuumketpint. Unraveling Ciphers. Communications in cipher are not so secret as many persons suppose. The Iondon correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury writes: "Nothing has amazed the Timet people more, I believe, than the discovery of the secret cipher with w hich they communicated with (ieorge Kir by in America when Mr. Rirby was engaged iu negotiating with Sheridan. It was au alphabetical cipher, and was so verv cleverly constructed that It seemed to defy detection. But Mr. Labouchere once declared that he would unravel any cipher that was put before him, and Archbishop Walsh is quite as clover at this kiud of thing, it would seem, ns Mr. Labouchere. Ciphers, iu fact, are not very difficult to detect. On one Loudon paper, for example, every advertisement which goes iu in cipher is read before it apears, aud the work is not as a rule, found to be very difficult. There is sometimes great amusement in the unraveling of these presumably secret methods of c.'n muuicution." An athlete explain that elevated rail roads are "overtrained." 1500 MILKS. Bnt She Got It.

The Egyptian "Book of the Di'iid" or funeral ritual contains probably the oldest existing record of the faith of man iu the immortality of the soul. Its chapters are found inscribed on mummy cases or written ou rolls of papyrus withia them. The book re count the supposed experience of the soul after death; its passage across the land of darkness Into the blessed fields, U its final judgment and admission into the presence of its father iu "the eter nal dwelling place of the cleansed spirit." The following passage from one of these mummy cases recently ex humed shows its express declaration of future life: "The osiris (soul) lives after death. Every god rejoices with life; the osiris rejoices as the gods re joice." It is supposed the "Hook (I the Dead" originated with the Egyptians between 2,000 and 8,000 years ' before Christ. A mummy case from the great pyramid, inscribed' 1.700 years before the time of Jesus, has the following in icriptiou: "O, God, the protector of bira who cries to Thee, he is Thine; let aim have no harm; let him be as oneof Thy flying servants.
