A CALAMITY IN ICELAND.
TiRgges Destroyed. Thousands Mads
Homeless and Many Psrsons KiUed.

LONDON, June l2.-AbOut six weeks
ago there was heavy rain Of ashes and
einders along the northern coast of Nor
way, covering the ground several inches
deep. Investigation revealed the fact
that these strange materials. coming
from northwesterly direction like i'm
mense clouds through the air, were of
volcanic origin. 1t was at once thought
that there must have been an eruption
Of Mount Hecla in Iceland. A steamer
was despatched from Copenhagen, and
that vessel has returned from Rejkjavik,
with news Of an unparalleled disaster.
1t seems thai the outbreak began on
Christmas, and has continued ever since
with scarce any interruption. For seven
weeks before Christmas the inhabitants
we're terrified by subterranean noises
like thunder. which extended through
nearly two-thirds of the island Early
in January followed earthquakes in all
directions, and at last. an old extinct

Z thousand people had to fee for their
lives.
After four weeks this volcano ceased.

Nyvatu. sent its burning mass upon the
+ peaceful habitations around. This erup-
ton lasted for several weeks, the village
Of Myvatu became prey to the fiery el-
ements. and the whole country for more
than fifty miles around was devastated.
More than eight hundred of the people
are reported as having been rendered
homeless. Early in March there seemed
to be Z general upheayal Of the earth in

A Good Days Work.

GA Farmers Wife," of Dwight, H.,
sends an account of days work good
enough for two days: Rose at 4.30 j;
skinned the milk fed the chickens
has thirty three young ones and $50 eggs
nearly ready to hatch got breakfast,
which was eaten at 6. Her sister was to
drop corn from the planter. and It was
arranged that the wife should go to the
field at 10, while the sister returned to
the house to mind the baby. So the
baby was dressed, the dishes washed,
the beds made, the floor mopped, the
setting hens fed, chickens killed and pre-
pared for dinner, cookies baked, the
baby put to sleep, and the dinner ar
ranged by 10 o'clock, when the wife took
the lunch and went to the field to relieve
her sister. After dinner there was the
usual routine work to do, after which
watering plants and other garden work
occupied her until 3 o'clock then she
went to the field and dropped corn until
night. After supper she MIXED, fed the
chickens, baked bread, ironed, sewed
buttons on the husbands shirts, watered
the house-plants, crinlped the rufles on
baby's Sunday frock and the lace on her
own best dress, besides other things not
enumerated here-forgetting nothing
that should have been done except patch
ing the hole in a mitten. If the hus-
band has anything like the energy of
the wife there is wealth in store for that
couple, and which, it is to be hoped, the
baby will inherit. N Y. Times.

How Cheap Liquors Are Made.

There may be seen daily on Chestnut
street man dressed in faultless apparel,
with great diamond pin upon his breast
vainly endeavoring to outgltter the mag
nifcent solitaire on his finger. In a
German university he learned chemistry,
and not even Liebig knew it better. His
occupation is the mixing and the adul-
iteration of liquors. Give him dozen
casks of deodorized alcohol, and the
next day each of them will represent the
name OF a genuine wine or a popular
spirit. He enters wholesale drug store
bearing a large basket on his arm Five
pounds of Iceland moss are first weighed
out to him. To raw liquors this imparts
a degree of smoothness and oleaginous-
ness that gives to imitation brandy the

Wonderfully Made.

A horses hoof is not, as it appears to
the careless eyes, mere lump of insen-
sible bone fastened to the leg by joint.
It is made of series of thin layers or
caves of horn, about 500 in number, and
nicely fitted to each other, and forming
lining to the foot itself. Then there
are as many more layers, belonging to
what is called the sscofin bone, " and
fitted into this. These are elastic. Take
a quire of paper, and insert the leaves
one by one into those of another quire,
and you you will get some idea of the
arrangement of the several layers. Now
the weight of the horse rests on as many
elastic springs as there are layers in his

A Sharp Legislator.

A member of the last Ohio General
Assembly did this: He bargained for
board at the United States Hotel, at
Columbus, and arranged that he was to
pay so cents a meal, and whenever he
was absent from a meal he was to be
credited that amount He then hunted
up some cousins in the vicinity, an old
schoolmate, a man who had once courted
his (the member's) wife, and several
other relations, and sponged his living
off of them for the larger part Of the SEES
sion. When he settled up with the hotel
on the day of adjournment, the landlord
was astonished to find that he owed his
thrifty boarder $40, the amount credited
him fer absence at meals over that
charged for presence at meals. It was a
Western Reserve man did it. Cinci,a-
