No English novelist rests In a more eccentric spot than that chosen by Hubert Louis Stevenson, who Is buried on the summit of the forest clad Valla, In the Island of Samoa. The day after his death at Valllina, in 1804, his remains were carried to the top of this precipitous and picturesque peak by sixty sturdy Samoans. who had loved nnd now mourned their dead chief, Tusltula. A party of forty had previously cut n pathway through the thick, tangled wood with knives and axes, while another party had prepared the grave. With infinite care and trouble they bore him shoulder high over the rough ground to his last long home, and there, under the starry sky, they left him to sleep forever, with the Pacific at his feet. On either side of his tombstone Is a bronze plate. One bears the words, "The Tomb of Tusltula," while the other Is inscribed with his own requiem, beginning: Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie. The A merlon n llufTulo. The buffalo is the bulkiest living land animal native to North America. A full grown buffalo bull stands about five feet eight or ten Inches at the shoulder and weighs about 1,800 . pounds. But specimens of over six feet at the withers have been recorded, nnd Mr. Ilornadny tells me that he weighed a living bull at 2,100 pounds. A ftil 1 grown cow stands about four feet eight at the shoulders and, according to Audubon, weighs about 1,200 pounds, though Henry says seldom over 700 or 800 pounds. The lower weight seems to l?e nearer the average run, but I have soon cows that stood us \ bfcli and looked as hoavy us ordinary 1 bulls. ? Ernest Thompson Seton In I Bcrlbner's. I Flub Sold Alive. j Fleusburg, a seaport town on the east coast of Schleswig-IIolstein, has an excellent system of bringing to port flsh 1 which are Intended for Immediate consumption. Instead of packing the flsh in the hold of the vessel the flshermen use flat, oblong boxes, drilled with holes to allow free access of water, and into these the live flsh are placed ?s soon as caught and are towed under water. By this means the fish are kept alive until the harbor is roaclied, and I they are then taken out of the boxes J and sold alive on the quay, so that 1 there can be no question as to their | absolute freshness. ] I I 1> ........ ...O _ U ~ Some pleasure steamers on the Eng- . llsb coast employ a very good Idea In connection with n few of Ihelr deck chairs. They are really air tight boxes to which a back and sides have been added. They stand back to back In the middle of the deck and are kept together by means of u piece of wood across tho tdp. When this Is removed the seats can be opened 011 hinges. If the vessel got wrecked the seats could be opened and flung overboard, and they would form a buoyant raft for passengers to cling to.?London Mall. What (he Jury Thought.
