Few people have any adequate con-
ception of the wealth and the luxury
of the ancient peofiles of the east,
Ever and anon in our own day the
newspapers contain accounts of the
foolish extravagances •of the seions
of wealthy famailies, Who show even
greater genius in their ability to die-
sipate and scatter their enorinoti$
fortunes than their ancestors did in
the -accumulation of their wealth, By
frequent repetition so prosaic. and
commonplace have these aecounte be-
come that special trains, private
yachts,and banquets costing ten and
even twenty thousand dollars for a,
few selected friends attract the read-
ers of the many newspapers hardly
'attire than a passing notice.
Extravagant were the. a,ncients 111
the matter of personal a.pparel.
Pliny the elder makes mention of an
instance he knew 'of a bridal dress
which was made entirely of the most
precious kind of ',eerie, which were
strung together, costing over'. 40,-
000,000 nest rtii, or about $1 ,720,-
000 in Anutitean ccfin. Among the
famous colle tions of personal ap-
parel xhume from the _buried citits
of th east by Dr. Heinrich Schlie-
mann the Doted German archaeolo-
gist, e find Unit the ancient peo-
Troy and igyeenee once wore
Id, necklaces Of gold
pies o
waistbands of go
and tiaras of precious stones, which
glittered like the stars of midnight.
Extravagant were the annient pet -
phi of the east in their menu, as well
as in the adornments of their ban-
quet halls. Caius Suetpniue- 1:ran-
quillus, the Roman historian and
biographer, makes merition of one
supper given in honor of Vitellius,
where there were served up to the
guests at °tie sitting 2,000 most de-
licate fishes and 7,000 birde, while-,
one immense dish, called the
"shield," wee; composed entirely of
the brains of peacocks and parrots.
The traveler in the Far East as he
roams -through the ruins of ancient
cities realizes how costly those an-
cient palaces must have bean, even
as, from a broken column of the
Alhambra, you can infer how beauti-
ful mush have once been the palaces'
of the Spanish Moors. So in imagi-
nation youi may picture the costly
-vases of myrrhine, t he priceless. robes
of silk, the heaps Of Damascus rugs
centuries old, the swoed. hilt e jewel-
ed with diamonds and other precious
stones, the garments woven out of
thread of gold and the emptied
treasure vaults, with their countless
prizes scattered about the palace
halls in untold profusion oa the day
that Jericho fell. - Jericho was al-
waye noted among the ancients as a
-city of fabulous wealth.
But, though the wealth of this
captured eastern capital vas prodi-
giouS; yet not one atom of gold, not
one Yard of silk; not one rug, not oue
diamond, was to be taken by the
Hebrew . soldiers for their own use.
God teld.Joshua, he would give, this
city into his soldiers' hands, but ell
the spoilkol war of this eity were to
be God's land God' a alone, But the
night after the battle one Hebrew
soldier, insterul of staying in his
own company and doing what he
ought t� have done, allowed. his sin-
ful curiosity to get' the holier of
. him, He went out among' the ruins
on his own aecount And began to
explore. Then, 'as' he saw the piled
up [heap of wealth,. his heart began
to icevet what Was not his, but
God's. When. tie thought no one was
looking, he Stole e beautiful Baby-
lonish garment, 20Q shekels of silver
and a wedge tif gelid and went and
hid them in his teat. After many
days this theft was exposed. Swift
col eteinnat followed, and-. -
Israel stoned him a7ith. stones."

Crinietbe to us of ihe twentieth cen-
tury? it concerns 141 as a type of:
the Shia of every age. Trace the

The first stage in Achan's fatal

es aS "tile }Ufa of the eye," Achan's

were to be consecrated to the Lord.

so often begins in the looking on
temptation that the safest course for
every one is to avoid the spectacle
of it as far as possible.
Achan's "eye step," in the next
place, was followed by his "covetous
step!" We say that the sin of cov-
etousness is only one step beyond the,
first_ sin. But the second step of
Achten's sin is even. more dangerous
than the first stage. The lust of the
eye is nearly always accompanied by
hesitation and timidity. You can s60
that fear in the flushed cheek of the
young man who stands upon the
street corner debating within, himself
whether or no he will enter the place
of evil resort to which, his dissipated
friends are persuading him. When
the mind has taken the eecond step
and desire Is aroused, the hideous
deformity of sin disappears, and
longing sees in it only what is at-
tractive and enjoyable, The second
sin, the. sin of covetousnese, .is blind
to the scorpion's -sting or the adder's
hiss or the 'tiger's Claw or the
*shark's threatenlig fin lifted like the
black flag. of the pirate over a

Ah, Achate on that fatal night may
not have gone forth with the pre-
meditated idea, of stealing that good-
ly Babylonish garment and the 200
shekels of salver and the wedge of
geld, but after his eyes had 'rest d
on the gold and the silver and the
• goodly garment desire was ovals n -
ed, and his longing to possess thOm
"became irresistible. "Oh," he said to
himself, "I wish I had that garment!

actions. What we think, we will ulti-

have been worth at least et ()Mei in

But now, in following the four
fatal stages Of Achan's sin, we find

There are the symnols or childhood
and youth and niaithood -and old
age. It is a wonderful clock -won-
derful in all its various inechanisms.
But history tells us that this clock
wasin ruins for many, realty years.
It was in ruins up to 1842. Why?
After the illSt mechanic had con-
structed it, in a tit of rage he com-
pletely destroyed it becatiee Oil mag-
istrates of Strassburg were going to
put; out his two r • y efi $0 that he
could not build another clock like it
for any other city, Thus, like the old
clock builder of Strassburg, many
and many a; man by one sinful act,
can destroy ,alt the usefulness and
the work of 'a Malmo. Achan's first
sin was his "eye step." Aehan's sec-
ond sin was his "heart step" o
"thought step." Achan's third sin
was that which drove hint at once
out of brotherly fellowship with
man. It was his "linger step" or his
sin of commission. Cannot you read
the stages - of progression in the
words of the li LI Man eragedy, "1
saw;' "1 coveted;" ,"I took?" Per-
haps we can translate it in even a
better way: "1 looked;" '11. desired;"
"I did."
But now, after the "finger step"
has been committed, comes the ' fear
,and the horror; Aye, the "covetous
step" may lead through an embower-
ed garden. The buzzards may there be
feathered in. the gorgeous colors of a
yellow breasted, black tipped oriole.
The "finger step" may he a leap, a
jump, an impuleive boend, but no
sooner is that fourth step- taken than
comes the "foot step," or the stealthy
fugitive step. As soon as. Achan, the
thief, got, poseession of this gold and
sliver and this Babylonish garraent
he did nottknosi what to do with
them, He Could not wear the cloak;
he could not spend the money; so,
like a oward„ he skulked away and
went and bid them in his tent.
Sin nearly always makes a coward
out of a, man. Achim did exactly
what our first ancestor did in the
garden of Eden after be had sinned.
No sooner was that forbidden fruit
- eaten than, for Adam the heavens
seemed to be overcast. He not only
slunk away and hid in the thickets
as a. cowardly hyena would run away
from the hounds, but when God
called him forth he did even a meati-
er act than that. Ho turned and
trfed to throw the blame upon the
woman by his side as he said, "Yes,
I did eat, but he woman whom
thou gavont to be with nee, she gave
roe, and I did eat." Oh, nay friends,
. the crirainal unconsciously reveals
himself. The accusing voice of his
conscience saps his manliness and
robs hina . of his open demeanor. If
there is not an honest heart in a
man, his face and his bearing will
not be honest. The lowered eyelid,
the trembling hand, the shuffling foot
' -all reveal the error of his past,
A despicable sin always makes a
coward otit of a man -without an ex-
- ception, always, always. Sin by Its
very nature is only another name for
cowardice.- No sooner did Achan take
the gold than he ran away and hid
it; no sooner do you sin against God,
then, like all other sinners, you try

Death by execution is 'too terrible for

Achan is uttering his moans; but

this thought: Terrible as sin is in its
nature and its effects, there is a di-
vine remedy for it. God, in his in-
finite pity, hes had conneission on
the sinner and has stretched out hie
hand to rescue him from his elfin and
his despair. Not only does he offer
pardon to the sinner, but deliverance
from the power of sib. "Sin," he
says to all who put their trust in
Christ, "shall not have dominion ov-
er you." Though, like Achan, you
may have fallen -under its power, if
you come to Christ and put your
faith in him, you shall be saved

TinIque 'Votive Offerings,
In many eburchea of PrOVilleeaid

cordance with vows made by pilgrims
in moments of &Inger are often re-
markable for their frames, Among
the curiosities may be enumerated
laths formed of fiplInters from Slilps
that bare been wrecked; also frames
made of pieces a heavy eables, occa-
sionally painted bright hues, but some7
-times left in their primitive gray col-
or eplashed with tar, ;Nailed to the
lathe surrounding- a painting repre-
sentieg sailors fighting with fierce sav-
ages may be seen African or Polyne-
sian meters and darts or swords made
a bard wood, evidently mementos of
terrible struggles, Sailors or lands-
men who have made •vows during
tinies of peril at sea and who have no
trophies to display will surround their
paintings with broad bunds of wood
heavily incrusted with shells and eea-
weed, not infrequeetly of rare and ex-
tremely beautiful kinds.
Action et the Earth -Upon Mediae.,
Years ago, when the bodies were re -
Moved Crain the Cireetiere des Inno-
cente at Paris, the common pits in
which great numbers of the bodies bad
been interred together were found to
contain reassete of* a grayish white
soapy substance. The matter was not
very well understood at that time, but
t Is now known that the remains of
the dead are under certain conditione
transformed into etteh a material, ei-
ther wholly or in part, which has been
named- "adipocere." It is a true am -
menace' soap, being a. combination of
fatty acids with ammonia.
Bodies that are exposed to the action
of water percolating through the soli
are most apt to undergothis species of
trataiformation. Inasmuch as adipo-
cere is not perishable under ordinary
circumstances-, corpses thus changed
very often retain their form Indefinite-
ly. Now and then they are dug up, and
ignorant writers in newspapers refer
to them as wonderful Instance; of
"petrifaction,"
A Queer Ceylonese Grass.
Lemon grass, known to botanists
an A ndropogen schaenanthus and
which is unknown outside of Ceylon,
and there only in the Kandian
Wet, is in several respects a most re-
markable vegetable production. It
grows to- a height of six or seven feet
and has the wonderful property of
spontaneous Ignition. On the slopes
of Mount Ambulawe during the wet
season the grand spectacle of then
spontaneous conflagrations is frequent-
ly seen, At first a single curl of smoke
or bright tongue of fiame will be no-
ticed. Soon, however, as the water runs
down the stalks and mingles with the
IF and acids contained in the pith of
this curious herb fierce fires bora- into
view here, there and every place, soon
covering the whole mountain In a
sheet of flame. The botanists and
chemists have not as yet explained
Why this paradoxical grase ignites
when water falls upon its stalks.
The 'rebusItsalbul.
The Syrian bulbul ;(nightingale) has
the loveliest voice of all God's crea-
tures and the saddest song ever heard,
Shady 'coverts fringing the Jordan still
shelter tbe bird that "sings darkling."
There is a legend that thebulbul
at in the olive tree in the garden a
jeeeph of Arlinathea and. the night be-
fore the resurrection through the
darkness poured out ber soul in sor-
rowing plaint above the still sleeper
in the tomb wherein was never man
laid. When the first Easter morning
broke over the etude= hills the eggs
In thi nest of the brooding bird spar-
kled with gold, blue, orange and crim-

Hamlet at Sinipapore.
1 saw "Hamlet" played and adapted
for Malays at Singapore. It was sung
instead of spoken, and mostly to Eng-
lish tunes. Hamlet addressed the
ghost to the tune of "Her ,Golden
Hair" and killed Polonius to "Listen
to the Band." Polonius addressed his
son to "Thee English, You Know,"
and, with the king and queen, sang
"Ataxy Was a Housemaid" to other
words. The ghost scene included three
ghosts, two clowns and It bottle of
whisky.

The old-fashioned bake -oven was the best our great
mothers could get. They baked in it in a' kind of a way and
were satisfied with it because they knew nothing better. But
the modern housewife wastes time and good food when she
fafis to avail herself of the improvements of the
Imperial Oxford Range
No other range on the market can do the baking this oven
does. The oven is kept evenly supplied with fresh super-
heated air all the time.
