The young man succeeded in convincing the :dun'cey people, who at fust were r skeptical, that his story was tree and party at once started out to search dor the reptile, but, as far as we have Iteai-d have not +found it, 'though we 'hope they will. Of course a snake of. this ;size would not be venomous; .it would be of the iboa-eonstrictor,lcimd. people p le at- �1 hat' importance some c p tach to anything which emanates groan Egypt. Here we have certain Superstitious people in England great - exercised over a prophecy recently .discovered ,by Egyptologists which : preelicts that an event of momentous etatpartance 'to the destiny would take ielace last Tuesday, the20th inst. Their belief in the accuracy of the prophecy, Wbioh was found inseri'bed, on the great pyramid of Gizeb is bolstered yip by a steady flow of messages from •r,dpFritualists in all parts of the world, +ayning of impending .calamity. Slow foolish to be agitated 'by such a prophecy from such a 'source) The 'f•nture belongs to 'God and is known only by Him. As Inc the messages: of spiritualists, even admitting, which we do not, that they hold intercourse with the spirits of those who have de - Parted this life, is it reasonable to suppose that those spirits know any more than we know about the secrets of the future? The world is in a ,sad state of un - 'gest. This we must all regretfully ad- mit, but let us not he disturbed by'. any Egyptian prophecy backed up by the messages of spiritualists. >F 5•* Pew people, no natter how minute or how extensive their geographical' Fcnowledge might be, knew that in the .State of New Jersey there is a village Gilled Laic Denmark; but a lightning Solt on a recent Saturday night pro- duced effects which revealed far and wide thefact that this village existed and 'that it was:the largest of the Un- ited States arsenals of naval ammun- s,tion. A mass of white wreckage 'sharked the .place where the largest magazine of the reservation had 'been located. A great hole 100 feet wide • sand 30 feet deep, was all that was left of the magazine itself. where had been the T. N.

Of course, all this could, not hap- pen without taking a sad toll of preci- ous 'human lives, At least the dead ',umber 17,, This event reminds us, ,,r -informs tis, as the case may be, that the great civilized nations of the world consider it necessary , to their safety, even in a time of peace,like the present, to keep themselves pro- vided with such vast stores of war equipment. 'When "Peace o'er the world her olive wand extends" such s , i es o ill nut be needed But alas! it seem, as if in this twentieth Chris- tian century, the nations of the world are very far from the time when they will beat their 'swords tyro plow shares and their spears into priming hooks.
