elazed Promenades.

The almost inexhaustable possibili-
ties of glass in the amelIoration of the
winter climate of high -latitudes are, as
yet, scarcely dreamed of. How easily
and inexpensively the cold, bleak, wind
swept streets of our nothern cities, in
winter, could be converted into delight
full promenades by enclosing the side
walks of the principle streets with glass
supported in a light iron frame work
These frames would not rise from the
curbstone to the. height of the lower
stories of ,the buildings, with an in
clined roof the width of the sidewalks.
The iron side framework would be so
constructed that the glass, formed, in
large, thick panes, could be easily taken
ont in summer and replaced at the ap-
proach of winter. The glass in the
roof would remain permanently, and in
warm weather would be covered with
awnings. The glass roof of the arcldes
would be continued over the cross
streets, although the sides would ne
cestarily be opon for the passage of We
hicles. Where the enclosed open upon
cross streets, there would be several
light doors, so hung as to swing either
way, thus permitting the tide of prom
enaders to flow through without him
drance. There doors could remain
open, except on very cold or stormy
days. It would be the duty of the po-
lice to regulate the temperature of the
arcadet by opening or closing the ven-
tilators as occasion required. The
readers can imagine in some degree the
change that would attend promenade
we will say ON fremont street, if the
sidewalks of that thoroughfare were en-
closed as has been described. Ladies,
even invalids, could do their shopping
or visiting, or take their needful exercise
during the most inclent weather. It
admits of no question that any business
street or block that first has glass arcades
along its sidewalks will attract to itself
trade enough to pay the cost OF the
glass and iron enclosures many times
over. 1t nees no very ardent imagina-
ton to conceive the paradise q nothern
city would become in wieter if the side
walks of all its principal streets we're
thus enclosed in crystal The great
annoyances of dust and cold, of wind
and rain, would be reduced almost to a
nullity. Our civilization is hardly
worthy of the name tin such consumma-
ton is brought about.-AtlaHtie

influence Of FISHING on Character.

I
Fishing teaches perseverance, The
man in Punch who on Friday did not
know whether he had had goosJ sport,
because he only began on Wednesday
morning, is caricattsre ; but. like all
caricaiures, has an element of truth IN
it To succeed as 6 fisher. whether of
the kingly salmon or the diminutive
! guigeon, an Rrdor is necessary which is
not lamped by repeated want of success :
an he who is hopeless because he has
no sport at first viii never fully appreci-
ate fishiRg. So, too, the tyru, who
catches the line in rock, OF twists it IN
an apparently inexplicable hanner IN n
tree, soon finds that steady patience
will set him free far sooner than impetu
GUS vigor or ruthless strength. The
skilled angler does not abuse the weather
or the water in important despair, but
makes the most of the resources which
he has, and patiently hopes an Improve
ment sherein. Dellcacy and gentleness
are also taught by fishing. Look at the
thin link Of gut and slight rod with
which the huge trout or ''never-ending
monster Of salmon" is to be caught.
No brute force viii do there every
struggle OF the prey must be met by
judicious yielding on the part OF the
captor, who watches carefully every
motion, and treats its weight by giving
line. knowing at the same time-none
better-when the full force of the butt
is to be unfinchingly applied Does
not this sort of training have an effect
on character? Will not man educated
in fiy-fshing find developed in him the
tendency to be patient, to be persever-
ing, and to know how to adapt himself
to circumstancesP Whatever be the
Ash he is playing, whatever be his line,
will he not know when TO yield and
when to hold fast Bnt fishing, like
hunting, is solitary. The zealot among
fisherman will generally prefer his own
company to the society of lookers-on,
whose advice may worry him, and whose
presence may spoil his sport. The sal
mon-fsher does not make much Of n
companion of the gillie who goes with
him, and the trouter does best when
absolutely alone and nothing Is 50 apt
to prove tyrant, and an evil one, as the
love of solitude. On the other hand,
the fisher is always under the infuence,
and able to oadmire the beauties ofnature.
Whether he be upon the Greyhound
loch or by the sides of the laughing
burn of highland countries, or prefer
the green banks of southern rivers, be
can enjoy to the full the many pleasures
which existence alone presents TO those
who admire nature. All this exercises
a softening influence on his character.

How ) Rattlasnake b..

A writer in Chambers journal con
tradicts a popular belief as to the man
ner in which snakes bite and inject their
poison. He says: 81 can only speak
for the rattlesnake. it is true with
every other venomous reptile the ortho-
dox accounts may be correct, but the
rattlesnake does not send its poison
through its fangs- It is always said
that the two fangs, which answer some
what to the human eye-teeth, are
hollow and perforated at the bottom,
and that the poison flows from tho re-
servoir through this canal 70 the point
OF the fang, and thence into the wound.
The rattlesnake's fang ia certainly hol-
low, but the point is solid, and the pois-
on-bag, 10 use very hOmely simile,
may be compared in it's position TO a
gum-boil when the animal strikes the
pressure instantly causes n drop OF ven

more experience than almost any living

manner described. This accounts for

A meeting of citizens was held last
night, at the Office Of Bishop Il Sabin, to
take steps to organize company FOR the
purpose Of sinking an artesian well in or

Mr.. J. ID. Randolph said lie had had
considerable experience in sinking ante
sian wells, and he thought tha. water
would soon be obtained from the bottom
of the 3O0-foot shaft of Messrs. Takarls
& Netzel, a half mile north OF the city.
Finding water there would solve the prob
lem, and, If successful, we'll could be
started nearer to or right in the city.
Messrs. Takarts d Netzel said they
would sell their shaft at fair estimate
of the labor performed, take their pay in
stock, and not put their share Of the
stock on the market until working cap.
