Sun. rumbs: ake Dw From the mass of data which has been col lected, Dr. Keller gives a very clear account 0 } the general form of lake settlements, and of the different varieties under which they may be ) classed. As to the substructure, tirst of ail of ainters and | ion was deafening, and after the | tWBes pile dwellings, which are by far the most 1u- merous in the lakes of Switzerland and Upper Italy. Piles of various kinds of wood—some- limes split, but in general mere stems with the bark on, sharpened sometimes by fire, some- stone hatchets or celts, and in later Umes by tools of bronze and probably of tron— were driven into the shallows of the lakes, pro- vided they were not rocky, at various distances from the Shores, So:neiimesthe piles were close together, sometimes wide apart. On the level tops of the piles were laid the beams, whieh were sometimes fastened by wooden pins and sometimes let into mortises cut in the heads of Sometimes the vertical piles were strengthened by cross timbers below the plat form “bean Generally the platform. its consisted of one or two parallel layers, and of very rude structure, thouzi sometimes, the stems were spiitand joined tozetier with some approach to accura ‘The distanee from shore seems to have varied considera i is curious that when a lake dwelling ha inhabited both in the stone and that part evidently frequently further from the s in the Jake than that which be- sto the age of stone. Otherwise, nearly the same mode of construction prevailed in the pile dwellings during the age of stone, bronze, andiron. In some cases, at least, there is evi- dence that the dwellings’ were connected with the shore by a narrow platform or bridge, formed also of piles. In certain cases, also, it 1S seen that artiticial elevations were made on the bed of the lake by piles of stoaes brought in boats; one of these boats, still loaded with stones, 1s to be seen at Peters Island, on the Lake of Blenne, The stones must have been put down after the piles had been driven more v. less deeply into the mud. Certatn forms, known as frame-pile dwellings, have been found in the Lake of Zurich In thts form the piles, instead of having been driven into the mud of the lake, had been fixed by a mortise and tenon arrange- ment into spit trunks, lying horizontally on the bottom of the lake, evidently when the mud was more than usually soft. Another form of these ancient habitations has been designated fascine dwellings. Instead of a platform su ported ona series of piles. Dr. Keller tells hese erections consisted of layers of stich small stems of trees built up from the bottom of the lake tll the structure reached above the water-mark, and on this series of layers the main platforms for the huts were placed. In these dwellings upright posts were used as stays or guides for the great mass of sticks reaching down to the bottom of the lake. Fascine dwell- ings oceur chiefly in the smaller lakes, and be- long to the stone age.—{ Nature, bronze used in the brouz Can't GET OFF THE StaGE.—Everybody re- members Sidney Smith's confession that he could never, without a certain awe, see Sarah Siddons at table stab the potatoes with her thrilling fork, and also Walter Scott's amuse- ment at hearing her blank-verse declamation to the servant— “I asked for water, boy; you've brought me beer!” Mast actresses resemble Siddons fn their mental pect: ever to get off the stage. ‘Their professional life is so apt to absorb them. that they really have no other. If artists in the theater, they ‘are pretty certain to be artifi- cialists out of it. It is lly so with French actresses.

She treats her [eve as if each purple globe was her lover. she regards her salad ically, and carries it to her lips with a grand sweep of her slenderly graceful arm.
