A Preacher Bleeds to Death.
Pieruk, D.ik., August 7. Rev. J. "W.

EgTPt' Tombs and Temples.
It would seem that the builders of ?gypt'3
ancient nonuments, whether, tombs or
temples, had, in view mainly vastness iri,
Bize and brilliancy in color. They meant at
onee to overpower tho imagination and dazzle
the eye of the beholder of each, suoJiedtn
age who should p hanca to stand in thq presi
eace of their works. ' Witness the. immensity
of the great pyramid, and ot that unrivaled,
temple of El Karnak; gaze upqn tha tombs,
of the Theban kings i the temples of Esueh
Edfou and Abydcs, and you reflect seriously
on the lost arts, for at Ahydes a4 Thfcbea
may be seen colors aa bs ight today as when
laid on 3,S00 to 8,500 ye-rs ago.
We saw at Abydos the cartouches of seventy-six
kings who had reigned over Egyp
before the writer of the book of Genesis was
born. The beauty of form and variety of
these bas-reliefs, as well as their exquisite cob
oring, surpass any pictures we have seen upon
the walls of any of even Egypt's temples.
The obelisks, of which we have an example
at New York, wera monoliths of the red
granite of Assouan. They stood before tho
pylon of the temple, towering far above itj,
and the inscriptions in hieroglyphs upon, theui
were dedicatory of tho temple. These
obelisks wera usually in pairs. ' The pylon
was an immense arched gateway at the
entrance. Sometimes another, still more im-t
posing, was in advance of this; was design
nated as tho propyloa. Prom the main gate
way a court yard was reached. Massive col
umns surrounded this; then came the portico,
with another lavish display of columnan
architecture. In some temples, as at Karnak,
there is additionally the hypostile, or hall of
columns, 134 in number, some of them sev
enty feet in height by twelve feet in diameter,
crowned by massive capitals designed from
the papyrus and the lotus, a perfect forest of
giant beauties, all rich in gaudy colors.

Hindoo TTomenas Tlonsekeeper.
The household duties are almost wholly
limited to cooking. Ladies of high caste and
wealth do not disdain this work. To prepare
nicely seasoned and well cooked dishes for
the household, especially for the lords oi tho
manor, is their highest ambition. They be
lieve this to bo tho straight road to paradLoe,
L e., by pleasing their husbands; and Hindoo
women have learned that good dinners are a
certain means to that end. There are usually
servants to do all the preparatory and clear

preparing the food for eating is often, indeed
usually, performed by tho delicate bands of
the ladies of the household. The meals an

and dinner in the evening.

J flCALIFORNIA'3 GREAT MOUNTAIN.
Going- Up to the Top of the Shasta atd
Then Down Again.
Now that we wera within a few miles of
Shasta, it did not look so wholly white. Its
snows were plowed by many a rocky ridge, not
perceptible at a greater distance. It did not.
however, lose its supernatural appearance
thereby, but rather gained an effect more
startling by the sharp contrast of lava rock
and sweeps of snow. Shasta was named by
Itussiau travelers, the proper derivation of
tho word being lelicste, meaning chaste,
pure. It is the culniinatin.j cak of the
coast ami Sierra ranges, and has an altitude
of 14,4-11 feet. Its glaciers extend for more
than two miles down its slopes. We sat for
an hour on tho hotel porch trying to famil
iarize ourselves with IhU strange mountain,
but its unearthly aspect did not change
for us.
"It i3 terrible to be up there!"' said Hal,
with almost a shudder. "One is in no dan
ger of forgetting tho experience. As I was
following that lava ridge this sido of tho
Devil's Thumb, I saw far off on the snow a
black object about tho size of my finger,
wriggling and staggering about, falling Hat
occasionally and then resuming its fantastic
gj-rations. I observed it carefully, and dis
covered that the object was forked, and then
it flashed through mo that it was a man
climbing the glaeier. When our parry
reached the cleft peak that forms the summit
we were met by a ierfif t avalanche of
clouds that tossed und tumbled about, giving
a ghostly indistinctness to everything. W'o

Tb- i:ai:ifan c.T tTie Vat.
The o:te tiling nrodful to develop tho agri
cultural and pastoral imssibilities of this re
gionin a word, the key to its destinies is
an adequate r;i;nfail; and this suggests a
toni;; regarding which has arisen nearly all
of the controversies connected with the suc
cess of the new west, llxpercs who knew uh
solately nothing whatever about the actua.l
tacts in tha case have written many -.
weighty art icle to prove that we do not have,
nevtr have had, and never can have any
rainfall worth mentioning. On the other
hand, tho people out here, who know from
their actual experience that we do have a
liberal and bona fide rainfall in every por
tion of our immense desert, are not con
tent with ktating the facts, or making affi
davits to them, but rack their brains to
find ingenious loasons for the beneficence
of Providence. One asserts that every yard
of steel rail laid iii the desert will draw from
the heavens a gallon of water per annum;
another claims that there has always been a
good rainfall here, and jwints in evidence to
the numberless canyons and creek beds twist
ing and turning in every direction, but all
ultimately converging to the rivers which
empty into the Missouri. A third contends
that rain follows the upturning of the sod,
and. that every acre of land plowed makes a
draft on the clouds for a definite quantity of
water.
It is certain that the buffalo grass 6od
which has covered these plains for centuries
has become as impervious to water as a cow
boy's slicker. Hence the rain never pene
trates it, but rushes oir the "divides" in a
fury to reach tho rivers. Anyone who has
seen it rain on the plains can understand
something of the deluge which covers tho
entire prairie to the depth of twelve to
twenty-four inches during the summer show
ers. It is easy to comprehend then how the
numerous canyons in Kansas and Nebraska
are cut by the eagerness of the flood to roll
eastward. Ru t when the prairie sod has once
been, plowed the soil absorbs water liko a
sponge. After a day's heavy rain there is no
mud visible in a plowed field; the moisture
soaks downward to great depths, and the soil
retains it through weeks of dry weather
afterward, sustaining its crops without ad
ditional rain for a wonderful length of time.
It is at least reasonable to suppose that under
this changed condition of large portions of
the soil, which now absorbs rain instead of
shedding it like a rubber coat, the c imate
retains it3 atmospheric moisture better, and
the rainfall becomes more regular, less fall
ing at a time, but falling oftener. This
change may account, too, for tho heavy dews
which of late years have been remarked in
this country thing absolutely unknown
ten years ago. The upturned soil parting
with but a httle of iti moisture every day; it
returns to it at night, well nigh as refreshing
as a shower. Frank H. Spearman

Improvements In Passenger Cars.
Chief among the new features is promised
a place where thirsty and bibulous men may
drink unnoticed by fair passengers. This is
all right as far as masculinity is concerned.
Hut in this perfecting of tho means of
traveling tho fair sex should receive re
membrance. A car wherein women may
enjoy more privacy in tho dressing room
is needed quite as much as a car that
holds the counterpart of a hotel bar room.
Men love to drink unseen of women, no less
than women hope to "fix up"' unseen of men
to use brush and comb in a place sacred to
their own sex. Tho a vera go sleeping car
holds no such place, and tho car perfect in
this respect ha not yet apicared. Dressing
at the rate of forty miles an hour possesses
for femininity many embarrassments not yet
eliminated by the ingenious designers and
builders of tho modern railroad car. ritts

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed by the
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Jit. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
currence more probable in 188$.
