Kamchatka has many volcanoes; the
only ones in Russian territory that
are still active. They are unusually
impressive. Their summits Vr al
ways smoking and often glow with
molten lava, though they are clad in
eternal -snow and are covered with
glaciers.
The volcanic eruptions are very
grand, but being witnessed only by a
few natives or Russian officials they
awaken but little attention in the
west. About -forty ofthe mountains
are of volcanic origin, but of these
not more than twelve are still active, height
One of these remarkable eruptions
occurred last fall at the Avacha vol
cano, '8,210 feet high, on the southeast
coast of Kamchatka. The eruptions
were- accompanied by subterranean
rumblings that were audible for six
ty miles. These phenomena are often
attended by violent earthquakes which
sometimes raise 'the waves to a great
height, flooding the coast and sweep
ing away the tents of the. natives.,
Thi3 was the case during the recent
eruption.
The accounts that have been sent to
St. Petersburg of this eruption say
that a more magnificent and awful
spectacle was probably never present
ed. Lava flowed in deep streams
down the sides of the mountains. The
streams looked like wide, molten riv
ers. From Assures in the earth nox
ious gases escaped, destroying animal
and vegetable life near the mountaip.
Even fish were killed by thousands n
the neighboring streams.
The volcanic eruptions in Kamchat
ka probably surpass those of any oth
er part of the world in violence and
duration. An eruption mentioned by
Krashmeninnikov lasted four years,
from 1727 to 1731, and that of 1737,
which was far more violent, dis
charged, vast lava streams, melting the
glaciers and : sweeping avalanches of

A Sleeping Premier,
Lord North was the sleeping tarlia
mentarian of the eighteenth century.
He was forever yawning in the faces
of members and their speeches. Black
and White says of him that indignant
orators were constantly complainin
of his refusal to listen to them, and
he was liever at. a loss in subjecting
them to the further humiliation of a
ho
sharp retort.
"Even now, in these perils, the
noble lord is asleep!" burst forth an
angry" member of the opposition; and
Lord North awoke in time to murmur,
"I wisli I were.
Aeain he said to another grumbler,
"The physician should never Quarrel
with his own medicine.
.'To -a 'speaker; who impeached him
of all sorts of crime3, and called atten
tion to his dozing through the at
tack, Lord North rejoined. '
"It is cruel to deny me the solace
enjoyed by other, criminals that of a
right's rest before they meet their
fate. V
The best story of the sleepy pre
mier is that connected with a peer
who bored Parliament with a history
of shipbuilding from the time of Noah
and his ark. North began dozing at
the mention of the ark. and slept until
the speaker reached the Spanish Ar
manda. Then a colleague woke himi
"Where are we now?" asked North.
"In the reign of Queen Elizabeth."

minister. "Why didn't you let me

receiving the blood of victims, adjusting
the pieces of fiesh and carrying coals of
fire. 27: 1-8. r
7. "The laver." This was put between
the tabernacle and the altar of burnt offer
ing. It was malde of brass with a pedestal
or brass and was hiled wito wafer, iiere
the priests washed their hands and feet
when preparing themselves to 'enter, upon
their- holy worc. 30: 17-J1. It was also
used for washing certain part3 of the vic
tims. Lev. 1: 9.
. "Set up the court. The hangings,
or screens, which were to serve as a ienee
about the coutt were attached by snver
hodks to pillars of brass resting in sockets
of brass. There were to- be twenty of
these pillars od the north and .south sidea
and ten onvthe east and .west sides. -, ;

narticular oil Icomnounded for the pur1
iwsps here stated and for no other The
Lord had given Moses careful directions
both as to tlie oil aud the manner in
which it was to be used. 30: 22-33. It was
not to be used, upon foreigners, -or for the
purpose of anointing the fiesh. but it was
to be holy. "And anoint the tabernacle,"
etc. "The ceriemony of anointing .with oil
denoted the setting apart and consecration
of an office tola holy use.", - ,

13 "The holy garments." The attire
of the priests, and especially of the high
priest,-: was very elaborate, and is minute
ly described jin chapter 2S. The sacred
dress ot the priest consisted oi snort linen
drawers, a tunic of fine' linen reaching to
the feet, a lirien girdle, a linen bonnet or
turban, and also a linen ephod which is
ascribed to them in-1" bam. 22: IS. In ad

tribes of Israel on twelve precious stones;

Tears do not weaken the sight, but
improve.it. They act as a tonic- on the
muscular vision, keeping -the eye soft
and limpid, and it will be noticed that
women in whose eyes sympathetic
tears j gather quickly have brighter,
tenderer orbs than others. f When the
pupils are hard and cold the world at
tributes it to one s disposition; "which
.s a mere figure of speech, implying
the lack of balmy tears that are to the
cornea what salve is to 4he skiir or i
nourishment to the blood.
- The reason some women weep more
easily than others, and still more
readily than the sterner six, has not
its difference in the strength, of the
tear gland, but iif the possession of a
more delicate nerve system. ; The
nervje fibers, about the glands vibrate
more asily, causing a downpour from
the watery sac. Men are not nearly
so sensitive to emotion; their sym-
patheteic nature the term is used in
a medical sense is less developed,
and the eye is therefore protected
from shocks. Consequently, a man
should thank the formation of his
nerve nature when he contemptuously
scorns tears as a woman's "practice. !
