violence and intensity indicative Of the wide
extent of the region of disturbance beneath

December 80, the mouhtaih was vomiting
flames and lava to prodigious height. Stones

tiles reach that the sand! and smaller stones
fell over Ari Reale and even over Msssins,

the cone. The lava is now flowing in every
direction from the crater, and devastating t!e'

outburst, the eruption became somewhat less
active but that the mountain is far from being
likely soon to sink to rest, is evidenced by the
fact that deafeniug denomations still continue

A TALE OF LovE.-One quiet night in
ieaty June, when the bees and birds were all
in tune, two lovers walked beneath the moon
The night was fair-so was the maid; they
walked..and talked beneaththo shade, with none
to harm or make aid,-hcr name was Sue
and his name was j i'm, and she was fat and he
was slim he took to her and she to him.
Says Jim to Sue-"By all the snakes that
squirn among the brush and brakes like y.r
better n buckwheat cakes !" Says Sue to Jim
-"Since you've begun it, and been and come
and done it, like you next to new bonnet. y

Sue to Jim-"I will be true if you love me
as / love you no knife can cut our love in

truly wonderful. When, standing at ease the

PRoroRrIoNs OF THE HUMAN Bopr

PROPORTIONS OF THE HUMAN BoDY.-
The proportion of the human figure are stric-
.ly mathematical. The whole figure is six
times the length of the foot Whether the
form be slender or plump, the rule holds good;
any deviation from it Is a departure from the
highest beauty in proportion. The Greeks
made all their statures according to this rule.
The face, from the highest point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to the chin, is
one 'euth of the whole stature; the hand, from
the wrist to tho middle fingers is the same.
From the top of the chest to the highest point
in the forehead is a seventh, if the length of
the face from tho roots of the hair to the
chin be divided into three equal parts, the
FIRST division determines the place where the
eyebrows meet, and the second the place of
nostrils. he heigth, from the feet to the top
of the head is the same as the extremity of
the fingers when the arms are extended
