The Cannibal at Home.

Among the Solomon group of islands in
the South sea the cannibal in all his unso-
phisticated perfection still abides. To rem
der midnight surprises from enemies diff
cult these ferocious savages sleep in huts
built in the top Of tall trees. The only
means Of approach to these houses is by a
ladder made of a creeper suspended from a
post within the house, and which, of course,
can be hauled up at will. The houses are
most ingeniously built, and are very firm
and strong. Each house will contain from
ten to twelve natives, and an ample store of
stones is kept, which they throw both with
slings and with the hand, with great force
and precision. At the foot of each of these
trees is another hut, in which the family
usually reside, the tree-house being only
resorted to at night and during times of
expected danger. In fact, however, thev
are never safe from surprise, notwithstand-
ing all their precautions, rs the great object
in life among the people is to get each
others heads. Capt. Simpson, of a British
ship, recently visited a chiefs house ON the
beach, and found row of twenty-five
human heads, captured in recent raid,
fastened up across the front like vermin at
a barn-door. It was acknowledged that the
object of the raid was to get heads and eat
the bodies, which is always done. The
heads of men, women and children are all
taken, and the wonder is that the whole
island does not become depopulated.

a Thousandth Anniversary.

The Bishop of Iceland has issued pasto-
raj ordering q service in the three hundred
churches of the island on the second day of
August, in commemoration of the thous-
andth anniversary of the first settlement
and of the grant of a new constitution by
the King of Denmark, which goes into ef-
feet at the date mentioned
The ringing of the bells is to commence
at o'clock the evening previous. The
lesson selected for the day is Psalms, xc.,
ID, and 12-17. One of the verses is:
/" For Thousand years in thy sight are but
as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch
in the night" But the ecclesiastical disni-
tary seems to have indulged in a bit of ma
licious but patriotic revenge in selecting the
other passage. The oppressive treatment
of the Ieelanders by the Danes, during the
past two or three centuries, is well known,
and seems to be referred to in this verse
(15): Make us glad according to the days
wherein we have seen evil.'' Every native
of the island, in which the feeling against
the Danes is intense, will certainly receive
their portion of the lesson with JUNCTION.
as the new constitution, extorted
from the Danish government, restores to
Iceland its old right of self government.

ANNE HATHAWAY CoTTAGE,
January 23d, 1874.
Where think you am at this moment I?
Well, am in the main room Of the Hatha-
way cottage "a mile from Stratford- d-on-Ayon)
not three feet from the very chimney in
which Will Shakespeare used to. make love
to his Anne. The old settle is close at my
elbow, and the room itself is called one of
the most perfectly preserved specimens of
the sixteenth century. The old dame,
whose great-grandmother was Hathaway,
is blowing up the fire in the big chimney,
and we arc to have supper presently, cooked
i'll the very spot where Shakespeare has
many time toasted his toes. Tonight /
am to sleep in Anne Hathaway's bed,
which is a marvellous frame, most curiously
carved, and which has been in the house
more than three hundred years. l am
quite lucky, in getting this privilege,
but | have made love to the old dame, and
we get on in the cosiest fashion! 1t seems
almost like sacrilege to think of it,
o.io oHeeii ofsJ my PidyShs tHlicc over, ann
trust to the angels to make it all square
with the original tenants.
LATER.-We have just finished supper
the dame, the husband and myself, all three
of us sitting in the great chimney. i had
ham that was raised on the place and cured
in this very chimney, and pork-pie--a
shaksperean pork-pie you may call it, made
in the house by descendant of the Hatlla-
ways.

HOW THE GATES CAME AJAR.
An italian Legend.

Twas whispered one morning in Heaven
How the little child angel May,
In the shade of the great white portal,
Sat sorrowing night and day.
How she said TO the stately warden
He of the key and bar
Oh, angel, sweet angel! pray you.
Let the beautiful gates ajar,
Only little, pray you,
Let the beautiful gates ajarl
II can hear my mother wet ping;
She is lonely: she cannot see .
A glimmer of light in the darkness
Where the gates shut after me.
Oh! turn me the key, sweet angel,
The splendor will shine so far!'
But the warden answered: 81 dare not
Let the beautiful gates ajar :"
Spoke low and answered: II dare not
Let the beautiful gates ajar 4, i
is-sss1s<e -issss ~ s4@
Then up rose Mary, the Blessed,
Sweet Mary, Mother of Christ;
Her hand on the hand of the angel
She laid, and her touch sufficed
Turned was the key in the portal,
Fell ringing the golden bar:
And 10! in the little child's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates aiar:
In the little child-angels g fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar!
And this key for no further usiEg.
To my blessed Son shall be given,'
Said Mary Mother of Jesus
Tenderest heart in Heaven.
Now, never sad-eyed mother
But may catch the glory afar
Since safe in the Lord Christ's bosom
Are the keys OF the gates ajar;
Close hid in the dear Christ's bosom,
And the gates f0reuer ajar!

ELKo, (Nevada) March 11.-There have
been heavy losses in stock lately. One par
ty In Independence Valley lost six thousand
sheep, and all along the Humboldt they
lost more or less stock. This is the most
severe season experienced by droyers in this
State. Governor Bradley's losses are esti-
mated from sixty to one hundred thousand
dollars. From all parts of the state We hear
Of the loss Of stock, and IN some Instances
entire herds have psrished. After this a

An Interesting Matrimonial Partner
ship.

Miss Olympia Brown was married last
spring, but hasn't changed her name. She
says that she and her husband agreed be-
fore they were married that they should
hold on to their own names. In fact, SHE
wouldn't have married without such an
agreement. | asked her if Mr.. Willis cher
husband} didn't wish to change his name
to Brown. She said, "Oli, no. He would
be simple if he did, Willis being a much
prettier name; besides, had his name been
Higginbottom, he would have preferred to
retain it, considering it was his own, and
the one he had always been known by"
asked her if no one ever called her Willis.
She said, "Oh, yes, sometimes they did,
but she didn't wage any special war on
that, any more than if they called her some
pet name that never belonged to her." And
SO it is John Henry Willis and the Rev
Olympia Brown; he attends to his grocery
business, and she breaches to her congre-
CATION of saints and sinners every Sunday,
and they keep snug little house in Bridge
port, on Golden Hill, and the name ON Tie
door is "Olympia Brown" that partner in
the matrimonial firm being the better
known of the two.

MEASURING HAY.-To measure the con-
tents of stack of hay proceed as follows:
If it is round stack, tapering to point
from the groud, measure the width of half
way between the ground and the peak of the
stack; multiply this width by itself and di-
vide by 1854; this will give the average
area of the surface covered by the stack.
Then multiply that by the hight from the
ground to the point where the width was
measured. IF these measurements are feet.
the sum found is the cubic feet in the stack.
Ii the hay is timothy, orchard grass, or
Hungarian, 500 feet will make a ton, or a
cubic eight feet each way If the hay is
mixed with clover, about 700 feet, or a GU
bic nine feet each way will make a ton. If
it is all clover, or light meadow grass or red
top 900 feet will be rquired to weigh ton,
unless it is pressed very hard, when some
allowances must be made. These estimates
are made from notes of a great many stacks
and mows of various kinds, and viii give
fair average.

"White coal " has recently been discov-

vegetable fibres like peat, with fine grains
of sand interspersed. 1t burns easily with
light flame, exists over large tracts and is
already extensively used. There is a yel-
lowish-white coal in Brazil, looking like
clay, but burning well.
