A Si .vol" i. a rt 1'ki.i<;ioi;s Kixudom in Araica.?In tlivi highlands of Kthiopia, Major Harris found tv so called Christaiu kingdom, a national establishment, dating t'roin the earliest ages. By this church saints and angolsnro invoked, the Virgin and St. Michuol arc made scarcely subordinate deities; a crowned calender of saints received honors, and a half year is composed of fasts and festivals. It enjoins also emfession to the priest, whose curse is dreaded l>y the people -us the last calamity, while they confidently rely on the almsgiving and penances ho i:n poses as an expiation of sin. Its most extraordinary peculiarities are certain usages and ceremonies, either bnriMunil from tl... or retninc I from tlio Kthiopiu faith.

I Seven Reasons for Having a Small House- I Wo conies* (n a liking for small houses ( and small women. Touching the former, ! \ro will here give seven good, ana ii? we think sufficient reasons for our preference. In the first ph.ee, they imply small cozy rooms. Not cramped but mensurable. So j ! small that the jiglit and heat arc reflected j i and radiate i uotn all parts. Family cotur??rt cannot t!?r* c in a liall or a field. I imagine that tin hoy who did not foci 8lif- j tieicntly acquainted with his lather to ask i him for :i new cap, lived in a " palatial rosi ideneo." 1 doubt not, for tlio same reason, people living among mountains ;ivc more I sociable than those who live on plains.? j A fleet ion, like a smile, dies unless it is refleeted. Sccondlv, wo like "mail houses because j they look like they are paid for, and a small j house paid for holds more happiness and real friends than a largo one urimid. Any- , thing unpaid is uncomfortable. To an hon- ; est 111:111 ileM:* are demons, and an indebted limisc a haunted h< him; full of creeping hortors and disquietude as that described by 1 Hood. 1 1 Thirdly, we like small houses because 1 they look sympathizing. They are like ( j people not overdressed, more ready to make > acquaintance. A big house is like a big I man?unaccostable. 8tatelv oorticos and 1 lordly hulls arc like the titles l>. I> , 1-1*. 1 !>., iV'e.?imposing, distant, and inclined to ' be repellunt. * In the fourth place, weliko n small house v because it excites no envy. It matttorsnot ' how elegantly it is furnished, how tasteful- 1 ly surrounded and adorned by shrubbery 1 and flowers, its observers are its admirers, | friends. It does not fall under tho "evil | ' eye," and no man who has a soul would ' wish eve. lus house?his home the abode ' I (if his wife and children, to bo an object (if J j i'iivy. Kverv body can say. :in<I is encour- < a<rod to say, ' 1 can build sucb a house," , which words arc equivalent to a blcssinjr. I | Fifthly, we li' small house because . | it must always .. the people's house. ' j | flic industrious mechanic can earn such a ' , j house. The diiiirent laborer can own, by , patient industry, such :i house. The wid- ; , i mv n*ii? livo in vii..li ?? lionc. ???"! .. rich, rational comfort it is t > live in such . accommodations j:sot" necc.>ity must be tlie , dwelling-places of nine-tcnth.s of the race. ' j Sixthly, we like small bouses becauao in . such most of us begin life. It is with small | bouses thht the ollcetions of young couples, j ] the lirst cares ami joys of married life, are | I mostly associated. Most of us begin ' iu ; - C5 | I | n small way." I , In the last place we prefer the small j house because it is not so far removed from ! our last narrow home. Only a few steps ! ' I down and our weary feet ;ire there, but I from the large palace to the narrow grave t I .i. i . 1 " . i me cnan^e is urn atmipt.

Scientific research it?rat03 and reiterates one moral?thegrcaticss of little things, and the importance lot only, of the minute study of facta, hut of he study of minute facts. One can imr. lie the contempt with which the "practical men" of the last century listened to the news that a bitter controversy was raging between two Italian philosophers us to the reason why a frog's leg t witches under ceriin circumstances; and yet therein lay the jud of the electric telegraph and clcctrcilaling, and numerous other undertakings i n which the practical man of the present | l.i)*, though as averse as his ancestors to very investigation whose fruits arc not imnodiately visible, is very happy to invest lis money. This study of snow-balls, pie rnst, and squeezed wax has led thuphvsi al philosopher to comprehend two of the neatest natural phenomena?the cleavage )f rocks and the structure of glaciers.
