PP SOI DEE OW 2S RB | Mrs. Lewis’ arguments is contained in the if following ilustration of her subject: “We have, first of all, the various Ara- maic phrases actually embodied in the Greek text as having been uttered by our Lord, such as ephphatha (he opened), ta- Htha, cumi (maiden, arise), where the word cumi might be Hebrew or Syriac or Arabic. And the last despairing cry of our Lord on the cress, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? is not translated in the Sinaitic palimpsest, for the gcod reason that it is a natural part of the Syriac text. “Take next the names of persons and places in the New Testament. The Syriac word for son Is bar, and so we have Bar- tholomew, Barabbas, Bar-Jesys, Bar-Jona, Barnabas, Bar-Timaeus. Had Hebrew been the spoken tongue, these names would have run Bentholomew, Ben-Jesus, etc. We have also cepha (a stone, feminine gender), Boan- erges—i.e., Beni-rogaz (sons of thunder), Sepphira (the beautiful), Thoma (the twin), Martha (the mistress), Tabitha (the ga- welle), Bethsaida (house of fishing), Naza- reth (watch), Gethsemane (an oil press), Golgotha (place of a skull), Aceldama (th field of blood). It may as well be ex- plained that the final syllable of most of these names, a, is‘a distinctive Syriac ter- mination. The words mammovw. (Matt. vi, 24) and raca (Matt. 22) and abba are Syriac also.” Mrs. Lewis cites many other convincing ndications that Christ spoke in Syriac or Aramaic, the most of which are too tech- nical for use in this connection. She has Foured a flood of light upon a most ab- struse subject with the aid of her recent important discoveries—abstruse, first, for the mysterious reason, which probably no ene will ever explain, that Christ did not set down a single line in writing of his doc- trines or teachings; and, , because no one took down those teachings, they hav- ing been written in their present form from memory years after his ascension. 'The dis- cussion of this question will engage the at- tention of scholars, and many interesting contributions to the literature of the sub- ject may be expected, especially from the new point of view introduced by Mrs. Lewis. ——— +e.

A “white” Christ- mas, however, has many other attractions to those who can bundle up warm and have strong shces and be otherwise equipped to withstand the attacks of the weather that aiways. accompanies a Christmas of this sert. From time immemorial, or ever since Christmas has been celebrated, which is Pretty much the,.same thing, a Yuletide snow has been regarded as the precursor of @ new year full of health, teeming with gced crops, so teday the vagrant precursors of such a Christmas have been generally greeted with much satisfaction. The poor, of course, do not enjoy the outlook so much, but then any kind of winter weather means distress to them, and so it will be well today and every day at this time of the year for those who have plenty to re- member those who have nothing, and share with them at least a Ifttle of the season's comforts. The streets are crowded again today with both of these classes, but the representa- tives of St. Giles far outnumber the repre- sentatives of St. James, however demo- cratically they may mix in the throngs that pour up and down the thoroughfares and in and out of the stores. From now to the closing hour on Christmas eve night the same bustling, busy masses of men and women and children will continue their pursuit of the pretty and the useful, of the beautiful and the unique, of the novel and the familiar objects and articles that they may find appropriate to gladden their dear ones at this joyful time of the year. tle who has pennies to spend nerhaps may inspire as much delight in what he places in a tiny, trembling hand as ie whose fat purse may send a wagon load of preseriis to the petted darling in the mansion up- town, because the happy throb of a heart cannct be measured by the substance of its inspiration. ¥ Who is it in Washington, old or young, to whom the name of the Boston’ Variety Store, on Market space, near 7th street, is not familiar? Whats it that at one time or another has not pought or received some token from the mammoth stock ‘ef this well-known store? .That stock is greater this year, if possile, than ever before, and appeals in every way to the shopping pub- lic. Its variety ig infinite, its prices run the gamut from lost/ito high, to suit the quality of the article, but always reason- able in proportion. _Whether it is a toy, to amuse the passing‘ hour of a little ehild; whether it is something ornamental. for the parlor or the tolleé table; whether it is something useful for. the person or the household, it can bé found at the Boston Variety Store. A large staff of clarks, at- tentive and capable, are on hand early and late to show the geois’and wait upon pur- chasers.

Nearly one hundred druggists, grocers and confectioners sell it. The one great cry this year has been to obtain gifts which would be useful, as well as pretty and pleasing. Easton & Rupp, the popular-priced _stationer: 1th street, have solved the problei heir big of gifts, sultea inkstands, ink store is filled with all kinds to both ladies and men. If wells, fountain pens, dainty pen and pencil holders, “swell” box paper and enyelopes have Leen decided upon as a gift, ton & Rupp’s is the place to go. Their store is just across from The Star office. During the holidays you men, and ladies, too, will often be out late in the evening. After the theaters and dances stop in at Fritz Reuter’s, corner Pennsylvania avenue and 4% street, for a dainty supper. The ladies’ cafe, on the second floor,.is hand- somely furnished, with plenty of waiters. Steamed oysters and broiled live lobsters are Mr. Reuter’s specialties, although ey- erything in season is quickly and de- liciously served. There is a world of satisfaction in buying from dealers who handle only the finest. Cannon & Chandler, 76 to 81 Center market, enjoy that enviable reputation. Their stands are piled high with the freshest, choicest turkeys, chickens and ducks, and all kinds of Christmas fruits and vegetables. One point worth remembering about these gen- tlemen—that they gladly refund money on any purchase you find unsatisfactory. Before and during the Xmas holidays most housewives will be too busy to give much time to baking. To such Krafft’s bakery,18th street and Pennsylvania avenue, can supply everything needed. They bake all kinds of delicious bread, rolls, biscuits, cakes and pies, and send all orders fresh from their ovens. Few homes in the city boast of such splendid bread, ete., as Krafft’s bakery makes. Their specialties this year are fruit cake, pumpkin pies ana brandy mince pies. J. T. D. Pyle’s five big stores, at 412 4tl: street southeast, 11 7th street northeast, 3a and Maryland avenue northeast, 1904°7th street northwest, and Washington and Mon- roe streets, Anacostia, have donned their holiday attire and are daily crowded with Shoppers buying Xmas groceries and dain- tes, All kinds of nuts, raisins, candies, plum ‘puddings and mince meat are dis- played, while all the usual substantials and delicacies to be found in an up-to-date gro- cery can be had at any of Pyle's stores. By buying in enormous quantities and paying cash, Mr. Pyle gets big discounts off regu- lar prices—and claims to sell on smaller margins than aiy-other house in the city. The Saks Fur Company, corner 13th and G streets, have made unprecedented reduc- tions on magnificent furs. They have de- termined to close '$utall their ready-made garments quickly, id the prices now marked on themidor not represent their actual cost.

Anything of that character will be certain to ‘please, Could anything else be 80 sure of being received with such Dleasure to the “little folks’ ”” hearts. ‘The 7th street cars pass the door. To a great many people there is no more Gesirable present for Christmas, both to the dcnor and receiver, than a photograph. It may be a dainty picture of the young hope- ful of the family, to be sent to admiring friends and relatives; it may be the picture of a sweetheart to be treasured as a dear Possession, or it may be the picture of an aged relative, whose likeness alone may be extant when °another Christmas rolls around... To those who contemplate patron- zing the photographer, Kerfoot, 806 Penu- sylvania avenue, offers:many inducements. He has every modern facility for turning out good work, and, combined with this resource, artistic talent. Tt is well to remember that Anton slippers and all sorts of delicate “finery” makes them as fresh and bright as new. without the slightest tnjury to delicate fabrics. A postal or telephone message will bring their wagon for anything to be cleaned or dyed. The Arlington drag store, corner Ver- mont avenue and H street, ts a very at- tractive place for Xmas shoppers. Their display of cologne extracts and toilet wa- ters, put up in beautiful bottles for gifts, is very fine. They handle A. M. Tenney's bon- bons and chocolates, in fancy boxes. It is worth while to pay this handsome store a visit. “It pays to buy the bes is certainly true of wines and liquors. “Cheap” wine is about as poor a drink as any one can Imagine, while pure wine, of the age, makes a drink “fit for the gods Kraemer, 735 7th street, handles oniy such brands as can be fully guaranteed as to age ard purity.

Miller & Krog- mann, in Center and K Street markets sell them. Everything to make the Christmas dinner a glorious success can be citained at the Cottage Market, 818 14th street. Wild tur- keys, venison, turkeys and capons, canvas- back and redhead ducks, terrapin, Bermuda potatoes, lady apples are only a few of the many substantials and delicacies to be found there. The proprietor of Cottage Market is most particular as regards quality. The Farragut Market, corner 17th and K streets, handles every substartial and deli- cacy It’s possible to obtain in season. This year Mr. Wheeler is making a specialty of Christmas turkeys, cranberries and celery, ard he promises the finest that money can buy. Those who intend to give dinner parties during the holidays will find it to their advantage to consult Mr. Wheeler.

The Haines Bros.’ pianos have received the unqualified indorsement of famous artists and mvsicians. In delicious candies and confections, and sorts of holiday “goodies,” Mr. Burchell, S F street, is sure to have just what you wish.

Mr. Stalee’s studio is at treet THE KEY TO CONSTANTINOPLE. Description of its Ferte and Perilous Passage. From the Baltimore Sam. The name of “Dardanelles,” derived from an ancient Greek town, Dardancs, situated on the shores of the Hvttespont, was origi- rally applied to four forts located on both sides of these straits, which connect the Aegean sea with the Sea of Marmora, on whose eastern end the city of Constanti- Rcple was built. The Hellespont finally be- ¢ame known as the straits of the Darda- Belles, the key to the Turkish capital. Mo- hamesi HI, socn after the seizure of Con- stantinople, tn 1458, had these forts erected. Not being kept in_good order they were un- able to prevent the passage of a Russi: Gn 1777) and an English squadron (in 1! Sinee-1567 severat additional batteries have been raised and several new forts built at the entrance from the Aegean sea. As far back as 18, the Ottoman Porte was nego- Uating with Great Britain for a treaty pro- Tibiting admission of any but Turkish war- ships to the Dardanelles, to waich proposi- tion the great pcwers agreed in 1814, ard which fact was confirmed in the peace of Paris in 1856, as well as in the peace of Berlin in 187s. The Derdanelles form a long, tortuous and Parrow passage, swept by a strong current. The average width of the straits is only two miles, whilst at the narrowest point the channel is only about 1,000 yards broad On either side the ground is the most favorable for forts and the most unfavora- bie for ships that may attempt to force a Passage, but the latter would find it dimf- cult to reach the forts at all with their girs. Indeed, modern warships of any type are peculiarly susceptible to a plung- ing or cownward fire, against which the thin armor of their decks cannot protect them satisfactorily. In 1878 Admiral Horn- by of the British fleet, when he led his squadron up the Narrows, found that scarcely a gun in his fleet could be trained upon the Turkish batteries on the cliffs. He had, of course, no occasion to fire a shet, the Turks, then in alliance with Eng- jand, not opposing his passage. Herr R. von Bieberstein, a German officer, in describing the Dardanelles forts, states that at the very entrance to the straits there the width ts about two and a quarter niles. There are forts Sedil-Rahr-Kelessi, with @0 guns and 1 mortars, and Kum Kalessi, with 36 guns and 12 mortars. To these must be added two strong earth- works, each mounting 16 guns, which gives a total of 166 heavy guns. In war every kind of mine and torpedo would suplement the terrific cross-fire of these batteries. Then some miles-farther up, at the narrow- est point, where the current is swiftest, where the way is rendered hard of passage by shoais, and where the cliffs on either side rise high, is a second tremendous group cf works, mounting between them no fewer than @0 guns and 48 mortars, distributed in 1 forts er earthworks, many of which are strongly constructed, in accordance with the progress of military art. The guns are. mary of them, of large caliber; even in 1878 there was a fifty-ton Krupp. Here again the defense would have the as- sistance of mine-fields ard all manner of torpedoes, and can enfilade the passage with gunfire.

From Harper's Ba 4 Our likes and dislikes toward other peo- ple seem usually to rest upon some ca- price, and not upon any logical or sensi- ble reason whatever.

Neither do bis circumstances, his environment, his mentality or his learning invariably fur- nish excuse for our feeling. 4 e carrot say that we like or dislike people according to their like or dislike for us, since ve often Kke those who dislike us, and dislike those who have a strong liking for us. Nor do we necessarily ways like those who have given us benefits, and to whom we have a feeling of obliga- Gratitude may create a liking, but by no means always the case that it does. Those t: whom we are bound by some whether of social, business or family tle, do not always command our affec- always creates dislike. We sometimes hear an impulsive person exclaim that he always dislikes people whom he feels that he ought to like, But an equal number of natures seem able to train their likes and dislikes in the di- rection of their duty, as vines are trained upon a trellis. If any one has discovered what law governs the likes and dislikes of human peings toward one another, he must be the same individual who has discovered the law of chance, and perhaps the twe are synonymous. 00 They Went Together.
