The SKIN AS A BREATHING ORGAN.-
Some animals breathe more through the
skin than they do through the lungs; and
in some animals the whole process Of ere.
alton of the blood is performed through
the skin. In the human being the skin
is, to large extent, breathing organ.
Fatal disease Of the lungs is often caused
by an obstructed skin. In one Of the
ceremonial professions Of Rome, attendant
on the installation Of new Pope, child,
having the whole surface of the body gilt,
was paradcd. The consequence was the
death Of the child. This melancholy fact
may serve better than a long lecture, to
convince people of the importance of
keeping the pores open, Of which there
are more than three thousand on every
square inch or surface.

Treasure-Seeking Expedition.

For over half century there has laid
sunk in ten fathoms Of water, in Sumanco
Bay, South America, the Spanish war
ship San Pedro Alcaxtara, with gold, sill
yer and precious stones on board Of her,
varying in estimated amount from three to
eight millions Of dollars. The ship was
sent out in 1915 as part Of an armeda, to
attack the South American republics, but
the attempt vas abandoned. Besides the
$4,000 900 Of treasure on board the ship.
certain loyalists in South America carried
all their money and precious stones to the
vessel, which was destroyed when on tho
eve Of sailing. A FIRE broke out in tho
spirit room, and feeding on highly inaan-
mable material, spread with fearful rapidi-
ty. Tho seventy four guns of the hugo
ship, were all loaded and shottcd, SO that
the others of the feet either dared not or
we're forbidden to come to the rescue. In
the rush and confusion an awful blundcr
was committed. The after magazine was
not flooded and while the crew were Bat.
Ting desperately with the flames, that mag
azine exploded. The ships stern was
blown completely off, and thousand souls
were hurled into eternity. Various at
tempts have been made to recover the
treasure, but with very partial success
not more than 100000 having yet been
found. An expedition was expected to
have sailed from New York in July, with
apparatus believed to be sufficient to fnislr
the work. 1t is managed by the Ameri-
can Submarine Company, Of which Gener.
al Burnside is President, aud will have
some of the most expert divers 10 the
company. The scheme is to shatter the
hull and dredgc the bottom for the treas
ure, the recovery of which is mere ques-
tion of time, perseverance, aud money.

- The divinity hedging royalty in
these days does not amount to much, but
such as it is it renders the life of tho
Marquis Of Lorne somewhat anenviahle.
The Prince of Wales utterly refuses 70 re-
ceive his sisters husband as member of
the royal family, aud at the State ball, re-.
Gently, gave orders that the Marquis
should not be admitted at the royal entrance.
He was accordingly refused admittance,
and the Princess declined to enter exceps
with her husband, saying that her place
was where he was. TIE Marquis would
not take the Princess in by the general
public entrance, and the result was that
they did not attend the ball.

The New York Standard in speaking o
Mr.. Alfred Tcunyson's recent poem,
"The Window, or song Of the Wrens,"
makes the following extract:
"Vine, vine and cglantine,
Clasp her window, trail and twine
Rose, rose and clematis,
Trail and twine and clasp and kiss,
Kiss, kiss /; and make her bower
All of flowers, and drop me flower,
Drop me flower.
"v Vine, vine and eglantine,
Cannot n flower, flower be miner
Rose, rose and clematis,
Drop me flower, flower, to kiss,
kiss, kiss-and out of her bower
All of flowers, flower flower,
Dropped flower.
It then states that this outburst of
poetry probably had its inspiration from
that me,odious warble of Mother Goose,
which is quoted as follows:
'!Inty, minte, cuty corn,
Applc-seed and brier-thorn;
Brier, brier, limber-lock
Three geese in a flock:
OUT, out,
In q rotten dish-clout-
You are out ~
We allude to this poetical subject at
this time for the purpose of remarking
that there is no: one ofthe standard Eng
lish poets who is SO often misquoted as the
venerable Mother Goose. This beautiful
stanza which the Standard attempts to
quote, is given in our edition of that poet.
css as follows:
'' Intery, mintery, kittery, corn,
Apple seed and apple-thorn;
Wire, brier, Undertook,
Three geese in fiock
One few cast and one flew west
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest,
Singing y-o-u-t, yout,
Old rotten dish h-clout.

parts of the world. The most valuable,
however, is imported from Turkey. The
growth of the tree is slow. If it is twelve
