This is really intended for the clergyman’s fee, says the ,Westminster Review, but if the people :re poor he often returns part of it (toa widow, for instance). There is at least one instance that it was customary for the parish to pro- vide an umbrella for the use of the clergyman on public occasions, more especially at funerals. The parish ac- counts of St. John’s, Chester, contain the following entries: Paty as far as the eye can reach, extends a hilly country covered with forest. In a long tramp through this coun- | try saw no cultivated land. And yet this land is said to be extreme- ly fertile and to yield largely any tropical product that is planted upon it. Froman examination of an out- cropping ledge of rock I decided that the soil was underlaid with limestone, and such a soil is nearly always rich. But the richness of this island is wasted. Vor even the old plantations which were well set with coffee, id cocoanuts are grown upto ical forest and yield next to noth- tight in the midst of a jungle of wild trees and bushes I found traces of an old orange and mango grove, indi- cated by the remains of straight rows in which these trees were rally planted. And with the decline and ruin of the plantation has declined everything in connection with them. Even the old carriage roads which originally traversed the island and formed a channel for conveying the produce to the ports are now only bri- dle paths, being completely overgrown with forest and bushes. And this is Hayti, the Hispaniola of Columbus, the pride and glory of the great admiral! For it will be remem- bered that, after examining the other large islands of the West Indies, Colum- bus decided that this one was the richest and best. And later, when un- der French rule, it was one of the fair- estand wealthiest spots in the civilized we ori world. The whole republic, in fact, a gigantic farce—and a farce, too, which may well make all enthusiastic advocates of the colored race and its possibilities pause and consider. For no nation has ever considered itself more utterly incapable of self-govern- ment than the black republie. In some eighty years of Haytian independence there have been more than ninety rev- olutions; the children, with a few ex- ceptions, grow up in absolute ignor- ance, and wlth a deep, inborn hatred of the white man; the rulers are blood- thirsty tyrants, and the country has degenerated into a tropical wilderness.

Mr. Gleason is the station agent at Woburn Highlands, and the other day he boarded the train there to go to Boston. He entered the last car, and wnen the train arrived at Cross street he Was surprised on looking back to see that the dog was following it and was only a short dis- tance behind. As the train moved on the dog continued to follow at a most astonishing speed, and at Winchester he was only about two hundred feet behind it. The distance between the two towns is one and three-quarter miles, and the little dog had covered it i in less than four minutes. Romance of the Bavarian Court. The gossip of the Bavarian court is just now centered in a little romance, of which the heroine is the daughter of Prince Leopold Maximilian of Ba- varia, Princess Augusta Marie Louise. The princess is at the impressionable | age of nineteen, and some time agoshe fell in love with a handsome young lieutenant in the light cavalry. The match was, of course, unacceptable to the royal parents. and the lieutenant was exiled to a far-off garmson and forbidden to come to Munich, in the hope that the princess would overcome her passion and forget him. His ab- seace. however, had a contrary effect; she fell ill and pined, and Prince Leo- pold has at last been constrained to give his consent tothe union of the i young lovers. great part of it lies under impenetra- ble mountains of Moreover, the high cost of living renders the pros- pects of the average miner extremely dubious. Flour sells for twelve dollars a hundred pounds and sagar twenty- five cents a pound, and other necessa- ries of life are proportionately as dear. Fora meal of corn beef and beans in the settlements seventy-five cents charged. Inclement weather, too, lim- its the mining season to three and a half months each year. ‘Mining in Alaska,” said one of the prospectors, “is different from mining in any other region I ever heard of. In prospecting for a claim you first have to dig up from six inches to three feet of moss, and beneath that isa mass of ice of questionable depth which has to be thawed before you strike bedrock. I have seen men thaw out thirty feet of ice and then not get anything.” He admitted, however, that occasionally the gold-seeker ‘struck it rich.” “We learned before we left,” he says, ‘that there were four men who had each taken out ten thousand dollars’ worth of go!d dust this summer. There are several others who will carry away tive thousand dollars’ worth of gold dust, but then some of those men have been prospecting all through the Yu- kon district for several years past with- out scraping up more than enongh to liveon. The miner whosecures enough dust to pay his passage back to San Francisco is doing well.” ice. A Giant Spear. M. de Sarzac, who has been earrying on excavations in Chaldea with the permission of the Turkish government, recently made an interesting discovery in an ancient Assyrian royal palace. It was the colossal head of an immense lance, made of copper or bronze, four- teen centimeters wide and eighty long, | with six holes to attach it to its han- dle. At the point of the spear-head is engraved a lion with its claws in the position of attack. Below it is an in- scription which, however, gives no clew to the former owner of the weapon. Learned archeologists who have examined the lance-head are of the opinion that it was once carried by Jsdubar. the Chaldean Hercules. | THE HEIDELBERG TUN OUTDON A Cask Made at nick Which Hnceks it Out of Sight. the iron of the hoops 11,000 pounds is quite sug vat tun Nearly 200 was builta greater proportions, Heidelberg tun No. ght of the years after the fi econd, of 1 as constructed 2 was 36 feet lon; in diame- ter and had a f S00 hogs- heads.

Tooth Carpentering There Is a Great Ref- uge for Quacks and Impostors. It is within living memory, says the New York Evening Post, that the den- tists best known to Parisians were what was called “arracheurs de dents, or tooth drawers. who had chairs the Champs Elysees, in which they tracted teeth in the presence, of large erowds. It was the popular belief that, in order to support their procla- mation that the operation was pain- less, as soon as the dentist got his pin- cers firmly fixed on the tooth, he whis- pered in the patient's ear: ‘‘Canaille. If you make the faintest squeak, I'll break your jaw.” The arrivel of the American dentists, forty years ago, gradually banished these worthies from the public view. and gave den- tistry the rank of a profession, and made its processes more humane and scientific. But dentistry is still in France a great refuge for quacks and impostors, as there is no proper legal control of the art and no diploma re- quired for the practice of it. A writer in the Temps, speaking of this, sars that he went recently to a dentist ina small town to get relief from a tooth- ache. The operator had been highly recommended to him as very skillful. When he saw him, however, he recog- nized him as a retired gendarme whom he hadlong known ‘Where did you learn dentistry?” he inquired. Seizing his pincers, the ex-gendarme replied: “With this, monsieur, there is no need of study. It is a beautiful instrument. When it once takes hold the tooth has to come or the jaw givesaway. Sit down and I'll show you.” The sufferer promptly fled. as) A Four-Story Tunnel. M.
