RELIGIOUS RECLUSES WHO LIVED IN HOLES IN THE CLIFFS.

of St. Stephens,

The Monaster y

One of the most eurions scenes on the Thessalian frontier is to be found at

| Kalibaki, some 50 miles by rail above

and Mackerel, |

(Christ.

Trikhala. The town lies on a plain which is backed by the extraordinary rocks of Meteora, rising precipitously to a great height and commanding the marked attention of travelers, In Dilaces the cliffs ascend like a wall to a height ef 2,000 feet. They are rough, free from verdure and disfigured by inno- merable holes and caves all over their face.

lt is these caves and remains of monk- ish dwellings in them that give the rocks of Meteora the strange, almost prehistoric appearance that bas made them famous.

There are several monasteries at Kalibaki. The largest is St. Stephen’s,

Unlike the other monasteries, this is reached by a drawbridge thrown across & yawning chasm. This is one of the largest of the monasteries of Meteora and has a guest chamber especially fit- ted up for visitors—that is to say, there are three iron beds in it, and it is only courteous to surmise that the wadded coverlet and single sheet that go to make up a Greek bed once were new.

The hegoumepos is most hospitable.

Re gives his visitors excellent monustic

Wine, a dinner of many weird courses and is himself very good company. As usual, there are two churches in this monastery, the smaller of the two pos- sessing -some very fair ikons set in beautifully carved frames, and one very old picture, dated 387.

The large church consists of a nave, antechapel, with the body of the church ‘under the dome, which is decorated with the usual half length figure of Here are seen some of the in- laid ivory and mother of pearl stools .and lecturns which at one time were the staple work of the Meteora monks.

All the manuscripts of any value have been removed to Athens. A long build- ‘ing at the right of the bridge contains the cells of the monks, which open into a dark covered corridor. In time of war ‘these monasteries are used as places of refuge.

Not the least curious feature of these runique rocks of Meteora are the holes and caves which literally pepper the ‘face of the cliffs in places.

In many cases these retreats of the thermits of St. Anthony are merely ‘cages. At a distance they look, some of tthem, like big birdcages hung up against the face of the cliff. As éwell- ‘angsithey are all exceedingly primitive. ,

The Thesealian hermit did not ask much .of life. A rocky floor to lie on, bars or railimgs.to keep him frors fall-

ing out of his hole, a shaky ladder down which be might now and then descend toearth and a basket and string to det down for supplies were all he needed in addition to his crucitdix and ather religious necessities.

These aerial caves were occupied in the fourteenth century. Thousands of berniits, judging from the remains of babitations, must. at one time or another have sought refuge in these cliffs. Few of them -can now be entered, for the ladders have for the most part fallen away.

Seemingly the:way a hermit proceed- ed was to choose a hole that tock his fancy. Up tothis he ran a ladder. Then, driving poles into. the rock before the care, he built ont .a little platform. This he roote@ in and surrounded with a wall made of sticks or dried grass. From one platform to another these auchorites ran up their ladders until the whole face of the rock was alive with these bermits of §t. Anthony.

After the time honored fashion cf re- ligious recluses, the cliff dwelling her- mits of St. Anthony depended wholly on charity for their sustenance. Far up in their airy caves they spent their days and nights in prayer and contemplation. When bungry or thirsty, they let down their baskets to the ground, and when these were filled they pulled them up again.

The devout people of Kajibaki be- lieved that these hermits were a special charge upon them and kept them well supplied with bread and water. Every morning men, women and children could be seen tramping to the cliffs to fill the baskets that weze iet down br the strings from above. And so the hermits were able to live their quict, lazy lives without a single worldly care.—New York World.

Ap Opinion of Conkling.

The Rev. H. 8. Haweis expresses this nncomplimentery opinion of the late Rosece Conkling in bis book of travels, lately published: “At Bigelow House in New York I dined with Conkling, the crack lawyer, talker anc, I should say, characteristic windbag of the peri- od. * * * Conkling seemed tome an insufferably vulgar, loud, clever persou —utterly conceited and self centered. * * # Conkling talked through jou and over you and all around you and quoted poetry whether you wanted to hear it or not aud answered his own riddles and asked questions which he never meant you to answer, being of the nature of Cicero’s rhetorical inquir- ies in the Verrine and Cataline orations. I can recollect nothing that Conkling said—only the abiding flavor of his ar- rogauce aud conceit, ” =

Gay Wall Papers.

The shops of the decorators show a decided return to gay effects in wall pupers and seem to indicate that the reign of negative backgrounds for rooms 18 seriously interfered with if not fin- ished. almost an orange tint, bangs next to one of deep red, which, in its turn, gives place to a rich and Vivifying green. These are, any of them, to be used fash- LOnably with white woodwork.

Worked Both Ways.

“It must have cos? you a great deal to provide all these comforts for your employees,’’ said the friend who had been looking through the reading rooms and gyimnasiuim attached to the factory.

**It does cost a little,’’ admitted the manager, ‘‘but, you see, we pay ‘em such low wages that the factory is reak ly a better place than home. That makes "em contented to stay.’’—~Exchange.

A miner in Staffordshire recently dis- covered a petrified arm imbedded in the solid stone or ore. The peculiarity of the arm lies in the fact that the elbow joint can be made to move to and fro as though it consisted of flesh aud blood.

VIGILANT DETECTIVES.

A yellow figured paper, that is |

When a crime is committed, no matter |

in what corner of the earth the criminal tries to hide, he knows that probably somewhere or other on the look-out is a detective waiting to lay his hand on him. ~ When any ta ee disease at- tacks man- kind and hides itself in the hu- man system, no matter how obscure er compli- cated the disease may be, Nature among her great force of dctective remedies has one that will eventually hunt down and arrest that partic- ular disease. Lung and bronchial diseases are among the most baffliig complaints which doc- tors have to deal with: because it isn’t the lungs or bronchial tubes alone which are affected, but every corner of the system furnishes a lurking place for these elu- sive maladies.

‘ )

They change and reappear and dodge |

about the system under numberless dis- guises. They are almost always compli- cated with liver or stomach troubles, nerv- cusness, neuralgia, or ** general debility.’’

The best detective remedy which Na- ture has provided to search out and arrest these perplexing ailments is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It lays an ar- resting hand directly upon the poisonous, paralyzing elements hiding in the liver and digestive organs.

It gives the blood-making glands power to manufacture an abundant supply of pure, red, highly vitalized blood which reinforces the lungs with healthy tissue; feeds the nerve-centers with power, and builds up solid muscular flesh and active energy.

For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short- ness of breath, nasal catarrh, bronchitis, severe coughs, asthma, and kindred af- iections, it is asovercign remedy. While it promptly cures the severest congh it strengthens the system and purifies the blood.

“I feel very grateful for the home-treat- ment given me by the World’s Dispensary Medical Association,’’ writes Mr. T. J. F. Brown, of Sands, Watauga Co., N.C. ‘‘I had catarrh for several years, then took grip, also had hemorrhage from the lungs. I had the best of medical attention but only to bring partial relief. I got up for a few months but had more hemorrhages. I took Dr. ’s Discovery, (twenty-five or thirty bottles) but in a few months I had more spells of bleeding. I wrote to Dr. Pierce and received directions what kind of medicine to use; I commenced taking his ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. I had only taken one bottle when I could see I was improving. I used three bottles of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and five bottles of the ‘Discovery.’ I have been able to do any kind of labor for more than twelve months. Weil I just simply owe my life to the World’s Dispensary Medical Associa- tion,’’

‘‘T was first taken (nearly two years ago) with choking and aching in my throat, and I suffered dreadfuily,’’ writes Mrs. D. Z. Moore, of Deming, Grant Co., N. Mex. ‘‘I took everything I coulc think of, and spent a great deal of money. Had three doctors treating me. My tiioat ulcerated, and I lost my voice. Could scarcely talk so a person could understand me. The doctors called the trouble bronchial affection; said the larnyx was badly affected. I was al- most dead when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. My neighbors thought I would not live a month. I was almost in consumption, but thought I would try tie ‘Discovery.’ From the first I commenced toimprove. I have taken it right along and with a few more bottles think I will have as good health as ever. I owe my life to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. I have been the cause of several in this town being cured by it.”

Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser is a book of 1,008 pages and over three hundred illustrations, some of them colored, all fully explained. This book is free. It has been selling for £1.50. Now you may have it in all its usefulness. and in strong paper covers, for 31 one-cent stamps, which pays the cost of customs and mailing ody, or in cloth binding for 50 stamps. It is a veritable medical h- krary all contained in a single volume.
