Quite an excitement has been created

Alfred Tennyson has performed feat
by which he will secure the admiration
and gratitude Of considerable section
OF the fair sex. In describing nose he
has actually brought the up.turned snub
within the range of poetical expression.
Hitherto this nasal organ has not been
more delicately described than as
"celestially inclined" but now the
Laureate, in the last published of his
"1dyis ot the King" denotes it thus:
Lightly was her slender nose
Ilp-tilted like the Petal Of . flower"
"Tip-tilted" will henceforth take a
prominent place in our language, and
will come aptly to the aid of those who
wish to describe certain nasal forma-
ton without offence to the wearer.

WONDERS. .-Lewinbcck tells us of nm
insect in eoe seen asa with microscope, of which
n. 600. 600 would only equal mite.
Insects OF various kinds may be seen
in tho cavities of grain of sand.
Mold is forest of beautiful trees, with
branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is covered
with scales. like fish; single grain of
sand would cover $50 of these scales,
and yet n scale covers 500 pores.
Through these narrow openings, the
perspiration forces itself, like water
through sieve.
The mites take 500 steps second.
Each drop of stagnant water contains
a world of animate beings. swimming
with as much liberty as whales in the sea.
Each leaf has colony of insects graz-
ing on it, like COWS in meadow.

Brldgeport tells curious story Of m

regularly checked trunk arrived by one
OF the trains, and. no one calling for it.
it was placed in the baggage room. At
the expiration Of that time, q gentleman
appeared with the duplicate check, and
arranged to pay 80 for storage, promis-
ing to call for his trunk the following
day. Three years have since passed, but
the trunk still awaits his return.

How THE NIAGARA SUSPENSION Bn1DaE
STANDS THE TEST OF TIME.-It is now
some twenty years since the great sus.
pension bridge was built over the Mia
CARA River. The question of its safety
has recently been ugitated, and critical
Investigation has accordingly been made
by the chief engineer and directors of
the Great Western Railway. The cans
on the towers covering the cables found
to be as perfect in all respects as they
ever were. But most important of ali.
the anchorage of tho cables was tho.
roughly inspected. The masonry over
one of them was removed for about
twelve feet, or below whore the wires are
attached to the auchor-chains. A por
ton OF the cable is imbcdded in water
lime cement. For twenty years this has
been there, yet, on removing it and rub
bing the paint off the wires, the latter
were found es bright and perfect as
when placed there, the cement having
preserved the wire and anchor chai rs
intact. The examination was made in
the presence of competent engineers.
who have expressed themselves as above
to the directors of the bridge company.

The Sabbath exercises for children
are one of the leading features of the
e, Western civilization, and whatever
may be our opinions of the respective
denominations Of Christianity, we GER
tainly ought not to overlook the i'm
portance and necessity of the Sunday
school instruction. Since religion
is, if not excluded from, yet very
little taught in our public schools,
it is necessary that this important SUBJ
ject should receive due attention by
those interested in the moral and in
tellectual welfare of the rising genera
ton. The good seeds of virtue and
pure, elevated principles, can not too
early be planted in our minds, neither
do we know of any place better adapt

licate work than the Sabbath school

ETC., but by sending your chill

by enjoining on them to study
