THREE DREAMSJK I DESERT,
As I traveled across an African plain
the sun shone down hotly. 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

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

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."

I'HJl'liau Hook or the Dead.
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. Thou art he, he
Thou. Make it well for him in the
aud of spirits.
