THE HE S EYE !i U\4.S.
There never was on earthly dream
Of beauty and delight
That mingled not too soon with clou Is,
As sunrays with the night;
That faded not from that foiul heart
Where once it loved to stay,
And left that heart more desolate
For having felt its sway.
There never was a glad, bright eye.
But it was dimmed with tears.
Caused by such griefs as ever dull
The sunshine of our years.
We look upon the sweetest flower,
'Tis withered soon aiul gone;
We gaze upon a star, to tind
But darkness where it shone.
There never was a nolile heart?
A mind of worth and powerThat
had not, in this sinful world,
Some sorrow for its dower.
The laurel on the brow hath hid,
From many a careless eve,
^ The secret of the soul within,
Its font of agony.
There never was n restful soul
Unmoved by grief or pain,
Or sweetest hour of earthly bliss
Free from aid sorrow's stain.
We mark the dewdrop on the grass,
In flush of early day.
Yet soon the seething sunrays come
A ml rtrin!.- tliem nil nwnv.
We view the mountains steeped in light
At the first blush of day;
Behold how changed they are at night,
How dull and dense and gray,
So with the birds in tuneful spring;
How sweet their songs in May!
Nor though* they have, nor care they take
For blasts of Winter's sway.
There never was a bubbling fount,
An ever-flowing spring,
Whose waters to the fevered lips
Unfailing we could bring.
All changes on Time's sinful shore,
Or hides from mortal sight;
Oh, for that world where joy and peacj
Reign endless as the night!

"From Unclc Philo!" said Jenny Simford,
in a lone of consternation, stilling
at the signature of the letter she held.
"By Jove!" her brother Tom ejaculated,
and emitted a long whistle, expressive
of deep astonishment.
"What's up?" said John Barry, from
the doorway.
John was not one of the household,
but being engaged to Jenny, he was
nearly always on hand.

into a chair despairingly.
"Ob, by Jove!" said Tom again, with
a horrified intonation.
"You don't seem fond of him!'' John
observed.
"Fond of him?" Jenny repeated.
"We detest him! Ilaven't we ever told
you about him? He's the bane of our
lives. You know when grandfather
died, he left most of his property
to father--this house among the rest.
To Uncle Fhilo (he lives away off in
Dalton; Tom and I have never seen
him;?to Uncle Philo, who is worth,
nobody knows how much?father says
* he is the richest man in the county?he
left only a thousand dollars, just a memento.
Of course he was right: Uncle
Philo didu't need the money, and father
r)irl Rut. I'nclfl Pliiln wasn't sntlsfipfl
Jenny's blue eyes burned with indignation.
"He wouldn't touch the thousand
dollars; he wouldn't even come to
poor grandfather's funeral; he declared
he was going to contest the will. "Winhe
didn't was a mystery to us. Father
says he is a dreadfully determined man.
But this explains it." Jenny turned to
the letter with quivering lips. "lie's
simply been taking his time about it,
Pand settling his affairs so he can leave
them safely; and now he's coming out
here?he states it boldly?to look at the
place, and see whether it will be worth
his while to contest the will. He's a
wretch!"
Jenny's feelings overpowered her.
She pulled a dainty handkerchief frcm
her pocket and sobbed into it?Tom and
her tiancee looking 011 compnssionateh*.
She was not given to such outbursts ?
she, who had been a dignified little woman
ever since she was fourteen, tilling
her dead mother's place with absolute
perfection.
"I'm find noor father's awav " she
said at last, raising her blonde head.
"He'd be dreadfully worried.'"
"It's a plagued shame!" said John,
energetically?restraining a desire to use
a stronger adjective.
"I'll thrash him within an inch of his
life if he com^s here!" Tom declared.
"No: wait," he added, with something
of a grin?"I'll introduce him to Mr.
Dobbin. That will settle him!"
"Mr. Dobbin?" said Jenny.
"He's a man that's se ling lightningrods
in towD," Tom explained. "He
button-holed me yesterday, and got an
order out of me before I knew it. He's
got the longest tongue of any man I
ever saw. You can't get away from him.
I'll present our beloved Uncle Philo, and
he'll go back to Dalton on the next train.
Dobbin's coming this afternoon to put
up the rods, Jenny. Don't get him
started to talk. I warn you."
Jenny smiled through her tears.
"You'll stay to dinner, John?" she
said; more cheerfully, and vauished into
the kitchen.
bo absorbing was the preparation ot
dinner, so entire her success?Jenny was
a born cook?and so gratifying were the
praises which Tom and licr future lord
had showered upon it, that Uncle Philo
and the danger which threatened them
were almost forgotten.
But as she stood in the doorway and
watched their departure together?Tom
and his prospective brother-in law were
clerks in the same office?she felt her indignation
returning.
How contemptible, in the hardness of
his mercenary heart, and the meanness
of his motives, was this man who proposed
to rob them of their home!
He, with his houses and his lands, his
stocks and his bonds; while her father's
struggle through life had always been a
hard one, and her grandfather's bequest
had been unspeakably welcome to him.
Was not the difference great enough
now ?
Jenny went back to her dishes, with
one small hand unconsciously clenched.
She was putting the last brightly-polished
class in the cupboard, when there
came a knock at the kitchen duor.
It was a loud, aggressive sort of knock,
and Jenny went to answer it timidly.
What she saw reassured her?merely a
small man, with thin, grayish hair, and
bright little eyes, and a carpet-bag about
as big as himself.
He looKed up into her pretty, blonde
face with a sort of astonished admiration,
ana cr.mc in wunoui ueing invneu.
"I don't want to buy anything," said
Jenny, with a suspicious glance at the
carpet-bag. "Oh!" as a sudden recollection
of Tom's words came into her
mind, "you're the lightning rod man,
Mr.? Mr. Dobbin? Take a scat."
The little man sat down in silence, with
no diminution of the admiration in his
sharp eyes.
Jenny ?at down, too, wondering a little
at Mr. Dobbin's reserve.
It did not agree with Tom's description
of him; but Tom was slightly given
to exaggeration.
"You'll w;int a ladder, I suppose?''
rsaid Jenny, encouragingly.
Mr. Dobbin wa^ evidently bashful.
"Hut where arc the rods?''
Mr. Dobbin smiled a little, and
coughed uneasily.
He was overcome with timidity and
embarrassment, evidently.
Jenny's soft heart was melted with
pity.
"I was relieved to find it was you,"
she said, pleasantly, with a desperate desire
to nut him at his ease. "I am ex
t
pecting somebody else?whom I am not
anxious to see."
"Indeed?" said Mr. Dobbin, finding
his voice at last.
His tone betrayed so much interest,
and his bright eyes, tixed approvingly
on her face, shone with such a friendly
curiosity, that Jenny felt a sudden liking
for the little man, and an impulsive
desire to pour her troubles into his sympathizing
ear.
"It is my uncle," she .' aid, with her
prettiest pout. "And I abominate him.
I'm very unnatural, am 1 not?" and she
' * laughed.
The lightnincr rod man did not respond;
but he betrayed a sudden Increase
of interest.
"I'm unnatural," Jenny repeated.
"But I don't believe an an^el could feel
any other way in this case."
Mr. Dobbin coughed atrain.and wound
one of his short legs around the rungs of
his chair.
"Might I inquire." he said, mildly,
"what 'this case' is?"
"It is the most dreadful you could imagine!"
said Jenny, impressively.
And, with an uneasy consciousness
that she ought not to confide it to a
r
! stranger, she launched into an indignant 1
j recital of I'ncle l'hilo's unpleasant bei
havior, from her grandfather's will to
! the present crisis. She even brought
I'uclc l'hilo's letter, and read it aloud,
! with scornful emphasis, pointing out the ,
I hard heart edness it indicated, and dwell|
ingon its general wickedness.
"To think," she cried, "that he, with
| all his money, should begrudge us this! ,
It is not much; it would only make him ,
a little richer; but it is everything to us. |
And father his only brother! lie must ,
I be utterly heartless."
! Iler soft eyes were bright with a pret'
tv wrntli nil/I ln.i- to< r? \\.;ic f?h;irmin??lv I
flushed.
The lightning-rod man watched her
with fascinated eyes.
"I have thought." Jenny went on.
musingly, "that if lie knew how things
! are, he might feel dillcrent. If lie knew
i how hard father has always worked,and
' how unfortunate he has been, and how
j much he needed the money, and how
many tilings we'd like to do that we
| can't even now?how much 1, for inI
stance?"
She stopped suddenly, with a flush.
Mr. Dobbin drew his chair a tittle
' closer.
"How much you what, my de:ir?" he
j said, gently.
Jenny looked at him timidly.
I But there was a fatherly look of kindness
and sympathy in his bright eyes
| which there was no resisting.
"IIow much I would like to bring
j John a dowry?a little one!" she said,
soitly. "l?i expect 10 marry mm, you
know. And lie is only a clerk: we shall
need it dreadfully."
The lightning-rod man was silent,
i "I'm afraid I have bored you.'" said
j Jenny, compunctiouslv; "and it is quite
| absurd to have told you at all."
"I am glad you have," said Mr. DobI
bin. with a kind smile."
"But I have hindered you," said Jenny,
rising hastily. uOf course you
) wanted to be at work."
"Not at all," Mr. Dobbin rejoined;
"or?that is. I think I will coiuc to-morrow.
if it will be quite the same."

was really very nice for a lightning-rod
man.
Torn was home early that night, and
Jenny met him at the door.
".Mr. Dobbin came," she said, brightly.
"And I never shall believe you again.
He isn't such a talker at all.*'
| "He isn't?" said Tom, amazed ly. "He
I was a>leep then, or temporarily insane."
I "I'm afraid, come to think of it, that
j I didn't give him a chance," said Jenny.
"You must have been hard at it to
keep Dobbiu quiet!" Tom ejaculated.
' j "What were you talking about?"
| "I'ncle Philo." Jenny replied. "I
I don't know how I came to; but he
I seemed such a nice little man, and so
I sympathetic?"
"Little?" cried Tom. "Dobbin little?"
"Well, not tall," Jenny protested.
"And then hn is older than father. His

" 1"--- f "Gray?
Dobbin's hair?''said Tom.
lie looked at his sister in alarm, as
though he suspected her of having taken
leave of her senses.
There was a sudden knock at the door,
aud Jenny opened it. A very tall and
very lanky man, with a shock of bright
red hair, looked in alTablv.
''I'm a little late, you see," he observed,
nodding to Tom: "but better
late than never, you'll find in this case.
You'll never regret, sir. having invested
in an article which 110 honest citizen,
valuing his life and the lives of his fam
ilv, can afTord to be without. And for 1 ,
neatness, durability and unfailing efficacy, ,
these rods of mine can't be beaten. "Why,
sir, only last week, they saved a family
of fourteen from total destruction.
There isn't a particle of doubt but what, ,
if my rods hadn't been on that house,
that family would have been?"
Jenny turned to her brother in bewilderment.
"Don't talk, eh?" siid Tom, in an
amused undertone.
ine rea-nairea man, perceiving uiiu
he was not heard,disappeared,smilingly,
around the corner of the house, continuing
the account of the rescue of the j
family of fourteen under his breath.
"Is thiit the lightning-rod man?"' s:iid
Jenny, anxiously.
Tom nodded.
The same dreadful suspicion cr.me into
the mind of both.
"I'ncle Philo!" said Jenny, faintly.
"Could it have baen I'ncle Philo? And
I told him everything! IIow dreadful!"
"Dreadful?" said Torn, with unfeeling
| mirth. "I consider it extremely jolly,
i lie knows our opinion of him, anyhow,
and now let him do his worst."
I'ncle Philo's worst was a vast surprise
j to everybody.
| Tom came home, a week or so later,
; holding a thin letter, and handed it to
| his sister.
"From Dalton," he said, solemnly,
j "I don't dare to have you open it. Of
; course its me iormiu nonce tu Lncie
Philo's proceedings against you."
Perhaps there was a remembrance of a
I kind look in a certain pair of sharp little
eyes 111 Jenny's mind. At any rate, she
tore open the envelope bravely.
It contained merely two slips of paper
1 ?one a check representing a sum which
i it took four figures to express; the other
j a half-sheet of note-paper, with five
words written upon it:
"Your dowry?from Uncle Philo."

Evolution of the Cake.
In 17o4 Christopher Ludwick, a native
of Hesse-Darmstadt, a baker by trade,
settled in Philadelphia and opened a
shop on Fifth street, above Race, which
was then quite suburban. Ludwick had
been both a soldier and a sailor, having
i served in the former capacity in the Austrian
army during the war ayain.st the
Turks, and afterward ou one of the ships
of Frederick the Great. He sailed to
both the East and West Indies, and
learned to make pastries of all sorts. He
soon acquired a reputation in Philadel
puia as a uiik.lt oi gmgerureuu, wuica
was then considered quite a luxury, and
in a few years he became the possessor
of a comfortable fortune. When the
war for independence begun,- Ludwick
took an active part in 'he alTairs of the
struggling colonies, and in 177C acted as
a volunteer, serving without pay. In
1777 the Continental Congress appointed
him "Baker General" to the army. He
was required to furnish 100 pounds of
bread for every 100 pounds of flour that j
passed through his hands.
Ludwick protested that he would not ?
make himself rich in that way. He said J
he could make 13o pounds of bread !
! from 100 pounds of Hour.
He was as good as his word, and as j
long as he could obtain Hour the Conti- j
nental soldiers did not suffer foi bread.
"Washington h:id great respcct for his
shrewd common sense and sterling integrity.
He oftou invited Ludwick to
i dine with him, and spoke of the shrewd
old baker as "his honest friend.*' i
The war crippled him financially, but i
he still managed to live in considerable
comfort from the profits of his gingerbread
sales. One of his most valued i
I possessions was a let'.cr from (Icneral 1
I Washington thanking him fur Ins service j
1 as "Baker (Jcneral." Ho called this his i
j "diploma," and hung it, suitably framed, ;
j in a consoicuous place iu his little shop.
I Before he died his fortune mended and i
! lie left considerable property in charity, j (
| and an excellent receipt for making gin- |
1 gerbread. He died in 1 so 1, and is buried j .
' in the Lutheran cemetery at Mount Airy. 1

stock every day. There are live great
bakeries in the city engaged in the manufacture
of cakes. They ship their goods
all over the country, to China, Australia,
the Kiist Indies, and that home of pastries, j
j England. Christopher Ludwick mixed 1
his dough in a wooden trough, and
i baked his sweet cakes in an old-fashioned ;

WHAT THE CHINESE EAT.
:ttisike of the mongolian restaurants

? What a Dinner Cosli*.
Wong Chin Fuo.thc Chincsc-Aincric.m
ivriter, lias the following article in the
I'hicago Xtics: In the last two years New
York fashionable society has cultivated
[i new craze?Christianizing and educating
John Chinaman. Kvery church
patronized by tlje creme de la creme has
its Chinese class, its Chinese teachers,
its Chinese night school. It has done
much in turning attention to Chinatown
and in making known many things that
heretofore were Celestial mysteries.
Among these is the Mongolian restaurant.
It is safe to say that in 1880 not
more than a hundred New Yorkers had
ever dined in oriental style. In 188o
the number is far up among the thousands.
The average American, when lie
first approaches the Chinese table, doc-s
so iu fear and trembling. Vague presnntitni'nis
of ragouts of rats, mavoii
naise of mice and similar luxuries >!oat
through his mind. Nine limes out of
ten he leaves the table with the conviction
that lie has learned something, and
that the almond-eyed sons of the (|iieue
are the best cooks in the world. So he
ffoes again, and with him brings two or
three iuajuisitivc or adventurous friends.
There are six Chinese restaurants
proper in the Mongolian settlement.
Each is famous for some dish or style of
cooking. The l)c!monico of the number
is Yu-l'ng-Fang-Lan, at No. 14 Mott
street. Here repair Canton reporters
and Hong Kong merchants from 'Frisco,
flush gamblers and wealthy laundrymcn.
All of the restaurants are run on the
same plan. A plain wood floor, swept
and scrubbed hourly till it fairly shines,
simple pint- cr walnut tables, small stools,
crimson banners and tnottots on the
walls, and a lavish display of curious
porcelain vessels in racks and stands
characterize one and all.
You have never dined, reader, under
such auspices. With two friends yon
enter Yu Ung's and perch on a stool
near a large square table. The next moment
the attendant has put down in front
of you n teapot tilled with fresh boiling
tea, a teapot one-third the size of those
used by Americans,two bony chop-sticks,
a porcelain spoon, a tin liqueur bowl and
a saucer tilled with a chocolate fluid
called se-yu. This is a hybrid between
salt and diluted Worcestershire sauce.
From its name comes the familiar British
term "soy." The first coursc is cold
roast chicken, served with pickled perfumed
turnip. The llesh is tender, snow
white and free from sauce. It is cut
into small pieces, but these are arranged
so as to preserve the outline of the fowl.
You seize a piece with your chop-sticks,
dip in the sauce, and then eat it in solemn
silence.
The next coursc is fresh fish, steamed,
boiled, or fried whole and covered with
a dark and very aromatic sauce. With it
is served a bowl heaped to overflowing
with rice. It is cooked as only the Chinese
can? each grain soft and tender and
distinct from its fellows. Next appears
a bowl of chicken soup, on whose surface
.loats a few thin slices of some green
vegetables. Then follow roast duck
with pickled carrot, chow-chow-sue (a
ragoui U1 ciiiUKt'ii uvvr, icuu jiui i\, uaiuboo
tip, celery, bean-shoots and union),
dried fish, steam chopped pork, macaroni
and chicken, and dainty dumplings
tiilled with spiced hashed meats.
With the foods are served tiny pitchers
of liquors. One is a brown ice arrack,
the second a date brandy and the third
[in orange gin. The nearest approaches
to these in the American barroom arc
Batavia arrack, pear brandy and green
curacoa. All the dishes are well cooked
and served, and all arc a novelty to the
most blase gourmet. The made dishes
especially are new and strange.
The next surprise is the bill. The same
or an equivalent dinuev at an average
restaurant would cost a party of three
persons at least $0.50; in a first-class
hotel, ?8.00. At Yu I'ng's, however,
the cist is but $2.48. Of course the
Mongolian has luxuries, and pays
for them l,alle samee Melican man.1'
A duck half boiled and stuffed with almonds,
chestnuts, raisins watenue'on
seeds, imported spices, and roasted, is
worth $2. A sucking pig similarity
treated brings $.3 to ?7. JLSird's-ne.st soup
at fiftyccnts a portion, shark's fins fricaseed
at forty, dragon fish ragout at
thirty-five and sea-worm at seventylive
are other instances in point. It is
not uncommon for a Chinese dinner to
cost $ > a plate, exclusive of wine, and
on state occasions ?40 a head has been
the price paid by the giver of the feast.
At these great dinners a feature of the
cooking is the element of surprise. A
dish of apparently hard boiled eggs is
placed before you. You open one and it
is filled with a purplish custard, flavored
with violets: a second has a brown filling,
colored and flavored with chocolate,
acd a third a rose-tinted and perfumed
cream. A second dish of eggs will contain
assorted ices and ice creams. Again,
the attendant deposits before you what
seems a well-boiled trout. Your chopstick
removes the fish-head and skin at
one touch and discloses a long dumpling
lillcd with delicious chopped me.it or
_-.i 1 1?,l:?u
gUUlC. *YIlUliii;r uiiauiuuy uiau uuinsio
apparently of small, well fried potatoes.
Each one, however, is a thin shell of
line, thoroughly cooked dough, containing
vegetables, poultry, fish, game
or meat.
While dining you have a good opportunity
to study the domestic habits of
the Mongolian race. However crowded
the restaurant may be, quiet reigns,
broken on'y by the orders of the steward
and waiters to the cooks, and the
"thank you" of the guest. In English
the latter practice would become monotonous.
In Chinese there are seven expressions
for our one, and a happy variety
therefore exists. They eat leisurely,
and almost invariably leave a portion of
their food untouched. Each, as he begins
his meal, pours a tablespoonful of
tea into his cup, and then, by a dexterous
swing of the wrist, throws the liquid
in a semi-circle on thctloor. The custom,
or ceremony, seems to have had a religious
meaning in remote antiquity, but
to-day is kept up for luck, or perhaps
from mere habit.
Another feature is the simplicity of
their diet. At four tables the meal being
eaten consists of tea, a bowl of rice, a
small fish, a piece of chicken and a
saucer of sliced perfumed pork. In ordering
a dish they order by value only.
It is "ten cents fish," "fifteen cents
chicken," and never "plate of roast
beef,'' "piece of pie," etc., as witn
Americans. Hut few indulge in stimulants.
Those who do combine into pools
of two, three or four and then order
"eighteen cents arrack." The whole
amount is hardly more than the straight
whisky of a C hicago rounder.

smoother leather.
Milk anil Eggs as Food.
Average eggs weigh eight to the
I pound. Thus a dozen eggs weigh one
I and a half pounds. A pound of eggs
j contains more nourishment than a pound
! of meat and bone. Hence eggs at twenj
ty-four cents per dozen are as economical
i a food as beefsteak at sixteen cents per
| pound. There is no flesh food that may
! be served in so many palatable ways as
j eggs, nor so easily obtained by farmers.
| They may be boiled, poached, scrambled,
j fried, made into omelets plain or mixed
! with herbs or salted meats, and used in
i a great variety of ways in cakes, Indian
1 bread, and other cookery. Thus there
j are few seasons when it will be good
i economy in the farmer's family to stint
j themselves in this easily assimilable and
: nutritious food. Every family having an
: icehouse or other food' storage should
preserve a good supply to be used when
I they are scarce. They may be kept fairly
well in a cold cellar if put down in the
' autumn.
j One reason why persons suppose eggs
lack nutrition is that they arc in a semifluid
state. Yet heat readily converts
j them into a solid by coagulation. Like
j milk, eggs are perfect food, containing
j all the constituents of nourishment, and
like rare roast-beef, soft boiled eggs are
| digested in three hours. Milk, like
; eggs, is capable of great variety in the
i cooking, and milk and cream should
! constitute a considerable portion of the
diet in farm life, especially in the prei
paration of pudding, sauces and the
j many dishes that form palatable accessories
;o table enjoyment. It is, therej
fore, bad economy for the farmer's family
to stint themselves in milk, cream,and
! eggs, on the ground that they are not
I solid food. Salt pork, bacon and ham
: arc indeed solid food in the sense of indigestibility.
It takes five hours to di:
gest either, and only strong stomach9
i can bear them. They should bo used
more as relishes than as true food on the
farm in summer, as they are everywhere
i else. It should be remembered that it is
simply the juices of any food that serve
j the purposes of digestion.
It is only that portion of any food
| that is soluble iu the fluids of digestion
> that is assimilated and taken up bv the
! system. Fresh meat is largely water?
about 71 per cent, and that of eggs
; about the same, or about that of blood,
j which contains three pet cent. more. The
I marketable meat of the ox contains 10
i per cent bone, so thit this again would
bring eggs fully up to the standard of
' lean meat. The fact that the farmer is
obliged to depend so largely upon salt
j meat in summer, and the added fact
! thit milk, cream and eggs are especially
j valuable in ihe preparation of salted[
meat dishes, render careful thought on
I the subject all the more nccessary.?

A Dog that Understands.
; There is a Newfoundland dog of the
| Historian's acquaintance, Lion by name,
j who gives daily proof of his comprc- '

j During her call Lion came in very slyly,
lay down on the parlor carpet and went

the visitor said linaiiy:
"What a handsome Newfoundland i

Lion opened one eye. "Yes,"said his ]

Lion opened the other eye and waved I
his tail complacently to and fro along 1

mistress went on. i
Lion's tail thumped up and down i
violently on the carpet.
"And lie is so gentle to them all, and
i such a playmate and companion to them, i

Iceland owes its existence entirely to '
volcanic upheaval and has ever been one 1
of the most active volcanic regions of the
globe. It. is situated in the North At- ;
lantic Ocean, just south of the arctic
circle, which it touches, and geograph
ically belongs to the Western lleini- <
sphere, though the circumstances of its
discovery and the political changes that
took place during the ensiling centuries
casi its lot with the Old Wor d. In area
the island is about 40,000 square miles,
or somewhat similar to the States of
Maine and Ohio, but nine-ten lis of this
is entirely uninhabited.
The farms and villages of Iceland are
all contained in a narrow belt that runs
around the island, and are situated in
the valleys between the mountain chains
that radiate from the high land of the
interior and extend far into the sea.
Within this inhabitable ring the islnnd
is one vast desert, a huge tableland that
has for ages been the trysting place of
nature's most violent forces. Kiven and
torn and tossed?the earthquake, gla"*

a scene that cannot be equaled. For an
extent of 20,000 miles there is utter desolation,
inhabited by no human being.
From this tableland again rise mountains
and volcanoes, singly or in groups, while
the snowy domes of the Jokulls
(pronounced Yac'kull, and meaning
a mountain eternally covered with snow,)
tower high above them all. Every century
sees changes in this interior. Hills rise
where before there were valleys; boiling
springs disappear ot burst forth where
they had not previously been known,
and in the mountain sides or on the level
plain huge chasms open with reverberating
reports and belch forth seas of molten
lava. In the southwestern part of the
island, about sixty miles from Reykjavik,
stands Hccla, a comparatively small,
though very octivc, volcano. Further to
the eastward is the terrible Yatna Jokull
stretching its glacier arms and riven clitTs
over th(T surrounding country?4,000
miles of ice resting upon a nest of volcanoes
that, perhaps, are only waiting
the time whea they shall, as before, open
their huge throats and gushed sides and
spread destruction over sea and land,
suffocating many birds, animals, and
men with their noxious gases, destroying
the fishes in the-sen, and sending
the waters of the rivers hissing and
screaming into the air before the approach
of the fiery flood. The two most
violent eruptions on record have occurred
from this group, and several times have
they spread ashes and sand over the
farms that lay within the course of the
wind and over the seas for hundreds of
miles.
From the name and situation, one
might expect to lind Ireland a cold,
desolate country, shrouded much of the
time in snow and bordered like the east
coast of its neighbor, Greenland, with
almost impenetrable fields ot ice. The
Gulf Stream, however, plays an
important part in modifying
and equalizing the climate, ana
though the summers arc somewhat coolcr
and shorter, the winters are far milder
than in some parts of our own country.
Quite a difference exists between the
climates of the southern and northern
parts of the island; but if we trace the
isothermal or line of mean temperature,
equal to that of Akurey'ri on the north
coast, we will find it leading us far south
in other countries that boast of a more
salubrious-climate.
With the exception of the priests
(Lutheran) and a few merchants, the
people are all farmers. Those who live
near the sea, or one of the many fjords,
combine several occupations, and thus
gain a good livelihood, or even wealth.
The priests hold their position under the
government, and are paid from the public
treasury, but they generally add tanning
to their official duties. The merchants
have their stores at one of the small villages
about the coast, and carry a stock
comprising almost everything. Sometimes
they employ agents who travel
through the country buying ponies,
which they ship to Scotland, or perhaps
they own a small vessel which coasts
around the island buying oil and codfish.
The farmer obtains all the necessaries of
life from the land and waters around
him. The rocks and turf arc his building
material, the bogs furnish inexhaustible
supplies of peat for fuel, the
rivers swarm with salmon during the
summer, and the sheep yield wool for
his clothing. If near the sea, the almost
domesticated eider duck contributes its
eirgs and down, the seals and sharks give
oil for his light, and codfish arc added
to his wiuter stores. Once a year he
journeys to Reykjavik or one of the
smaller villages and barters his produce
for things that serve to make his isolated
life more comfortable. Usually wool and
oider down arc the things brought. For
these he is given credit by the merchant,
and permitted to draw his yearly supply
of goods, consisting of ryemcal, Hour,
codec, sugar, calico and lumber. .Upon
the Hums tne nouses, wmi very icw
exceptions, arc clusters of low,
turf-covered huts with gablo ends,
doors and window frames of
wood, and, if seen from a distance,
are not easily recognized by the
stranger. Sheep and even ponies arc frequently
seen upon the roofs in quest of
the grass that glows-more luxuriantly
there than in the pastures; but the interior
of the houses is often made very
comfortable by paneling and flooring
with wood, painted, and sometimes
nicely furnished. Not having much to
do at any season, not caring to exert
himself beyond his yearly necessities,the
Icelander finds much tune for reading,
his favorite occupation. One who cannot
both read and write is not to be
found, and indeed, as a whole, they arc
one of the best educated people on the j
globe. Well informed in history, geography.
and literature, especially of their .
own country, the traveler is often surprised
to find these people conversing !
very intelligently about persons and I
events of all countries and ages, though
they themselves may never have been out
of sight of their own island. A faculty
for learning languages is certainly a
trait of these people, as every day one
meets persons who converse llucntlv in
Danish and English, and perhaps Gcr

Further inland no chance is afforded for !

who have traveled extensively in j
other countries, and having studied I

pic, are now trying to give their coun- '

and to gain from other people that recognition

societies lead a flourishing existence j
here; and after years of inactivity the j
country is again bringing forth authors
and scholars who cannot but be rccog- |
nized among those of other nations. At '
several places oil the island there are well i
equipped printing o.'lices. From these, j
every year, are turned out books, the j
workmanship of which, both in typo- i

visitor. At Reykjavik, four modest, but!

Bags of hot sand arc much better than
bottles of hot water to place in the beds
of invalids who require artificial heat.
The sand retains heat longer than water,
and sand-bags are more comfortable
"bed-fellows" than bottles.
Writers in the London Lancet call attention
to the great value of hot water
applications to the head in cases of fainting
or syncope. They say also that a
prompt use of it, applied to the forehead
with cloths, will very often avert such
attacks.

As I approached the lodge an hour before
sunset, I saw dangling from a lodge
pole, which rose far above the lodge, the
scalp around which the dance was to be
held. The scalp was that of a woman.
The hair was fully eighteen inches long
and of a red color. As I entered the
lodge no one was within except the
dancers, ten or twelve in number, who
sat in a semi circle at the back of the
lodge and opposite the entrance, and two
attendants who busied themselves attending
the wants of the dancers. All
was quiet, not a word being spoken until
near the setting sun. Then the drummers
beat with all their power, and in
came the spectators (mostly men) pellmell,
yelling at the top of their voices.
All seemed confusion, all were talking
at once; but once in, all again became
quiet as before. The dancers
were painted most fancifully, many being
covered all over with white or clay
paint. "Where only the facc was ornamented
the rare colors were used, such
as red, green, blue, yellow, but all were
minted beyond recognition. Spotted
Horse was the first to balance; he being
the one who had cut the scalp from its
owner. He came forth with dignified
air, fir3t described how he had killed the
woman and cut the scalp off before she
was dea 1, even describing how she had
screamed and pleaded for mercy. By
use of the tomahawk he held, lie acted
out as near as possible the dreadful
tragedy in which he had played so important
a part. Then came the dance;
first the dancer's liead and bodv arc
leaned forward, the head reaching very
near the ground, next lifting the feet
high in the air. he throws himself back
into a sitting posture with such force as
to seem to jar the very lodge. A knife
was held in one hand, a medicine gourd
in the other, the latter of which was
shook to the accompaniment of the music
of Indian drums. The dance was in
exact unison with the music. At intervals
he stopped and reviewed the story
he had already related or some part
of it, then again danced with
more energy than before. Thus the
dance was kept up for an hour when he
was joined by the rest of the dancers.
One by one they came forth and related
some act of valor, after which the daucc
was again begun. This dance was kept
up until midnight, when the presents
were given. Many of the spectators became
so cxcitcd they took from their
own body their wearing apparel and
threw it to the dancers. Then came the
big smoke. The chief's pipes were tilled
by the chief himself with (No\v-eo-co\v)

to one of the spectators who is known to
have made some present. He smokes
and passe3 it to such friend as he wishes.

As serpents move about they are constantly
feeling ahead with the tongue;
and the forward thrust and peculiar
forked appearance of the organ has
given use to the false idea that with it
the stinging is done. It is generally
thought there are a great number of
these poisonous snakes. In North America
there are but three species?the rattlesnake.
the copperhead or moccasin,
and the coral. There are about thirty
varieties of these species altogether. The
copperhead is probably the most dangerous
as it is vicious, and never gives
warning of any kind before striking.
The rattlesnake, though more poisonous
than cither of the others, will rattle at
the approach of anything, and try to set
away unicss brought to bay. The coral
is much smaller, and a native of the
Southern States. The bite is not necessarily
fatal if the proper remedies arc
used in time, a-, on account of its size,
the quantity of poisor. is small. When
a reptile strikes he throws his whole
body forward, and the fangs penetrate
the object against which they come. Ikdoes

body rciuiiins in position; and none of
our snakes are in the habit of reaching
more than half their lensrth.
The Trying Moment in War.
"I'll tell you when a man feels real
badly."' says Captain George N. Stone in
the Cincinnati Times-Star. "It's when
he's forming his men iuto line for a big
battle while'a little skirmishing fire is
kept up all the time. Kvery minute or
bo some one, maybe your best friend,
standing right next to you will shriek
out, "Oh, my (iod,'' and fall back dead,
yet you cannot let your men tire, for the
army must be drawn up first. There is
plenty of time to think. Von don't dare
to retaliate in any way. The next bullet
may find your heart, and your children
will be left fatherless. It is a moment
that tries the bravest man, because he
has to stand quietly and take it all. But
when the order comes to fight and the
excitement of the battle arises, fear
passesaway. You have something to do." (

Improve the midnight dark,
To leave on forehead and on limb
His sanguinary mark.
How skillfully lie plies his bill,
How neat he makes attacks;
Then stores himself in parts unseen,
AnddoJges all the whacks.

Znni Table Etiquette.
Among the Zunis Indians, with a guest
at the table, it would be considered
shameful for any one of the household
to cease eating while any other remained
obviously unsatisfied; :ind equally shameful
for any one not to cease eating very
anon nffpr Avon nnfi of thn olhers?if n
rcspectcd or elderly one?had done so.
When guest or inmate, man or child,
ceases eating he clears his throat and exclaims:
"E'lah-kwa! S'ha-yu-shithnai-e!"
(Thanks! I have been satisfied!)
The instant reply,made by all the elderly
women, is: "El-i-ta!" (Eat well!) to
which the first speaker Gnally responds:
"Lathl-e-Iah-kwa; ha's-i po-ti-k'ia."
(Thanks ngain; I am filled.) And the
women add: "Ita-i-na-we!" (Have
eaten, then!)? The Millstone.

A Campaign Secret Given Away.
In the campaign of 1881 the two candidate*
for governor In a "pivotal" Western State
irraigned for a cries of Joint discussions. a
Both mon were popular, both of fine appearince
and were so well matched in mental *
force and as orators that tha contest between T
;hem promised to be a magnificent one. For *
leverai weeks the scales balanced evenly. 81
But ona day the brilliant Republican canlidate
came up ailing. He seemsd overcome ,
ind spoke laboredly. The next day he was 1
jven less euecwve. iaiu uj wiuiknui
a ask his opponent for a postponement of
certain appointments, which was granted,
Before the campaign ended be bad abanloned
the field altogether. t
Meantime the Democratic candidate continued
his canvass, seeming to grow stronger,
iheerier and more effective with each sue- o
sealing wesk. He was elected. One e/ening
in December while entertaining several gen- I
tlemen ho said: l
"I will tell you a campaign secret?which
jave ma the election. with the opening ot a
my campaign I began caring for my liver. I
knew that a disordered or torpid liver meant
dullness and possible sickness. I took something
every day. When my opponent began
Tailing I knew his trouble to be his liver and
felt like prescribing for him, but fearod if I
[lid so he might beat me! 1 grew stronger aj
th? campaign progressed, often making two ?
speeches a day. Even my voice, to my surprise,
did not fail me once. All becauss
Warner's safe euro kept me in A 1 trim." <
Ex-Governor Jacob, of Kentucky, also made
a campaign tour under precisely similar circumstances
and say3 ho kept up under the ex- j

A Cast Resembling That of General Grant
Some ten years ago I had a scrofulous sore on ray
tight band, and vrlth the old time treatment It healed
up. In March. ISITJ, It broke out In my throat, and
concentrated )n cancer, rutin* through my cheek to
the top of my left cheek bone and up to too left eye.
I subsisted on liquids, and my tongue was 10 far
gone I could not talk. On October first, ISM, I commenced
taking Swift's Specific. In a month the eating
place* stopped and healing commenced, and the
fearful aperture lh my check has been closed and
firmly knitted together. A new under lip Is progressing,
and It seems that nature Is supplying a new
tongue. I can talk so that my friends can readily
understand me. and can also cat solid food again. I
