with merry laugh, "that was cum

joke I've heard yet The cream of il
is that Rose thought you were in earn

that il was some time before | could
make her understand that you were
only testing her love for me. But she
sees il all now. You found Rose as
true as steel, eh, uncleY and will make
us both happy by giving your consent
to our marriageE"
Mr.. POppleton not only gave this but
presented Rose, OH her wedding day,
with house completely furnished.
He seemed little shy of her at first,
but this soon wore away, or rather de-
yeloped into the paternal affection
growing out of this mutual relation and
the winning and loyable qualities of
his nephew's wife.
This little episode in his life had the
good effect of making him more dis
trustful of himself, more tolerant of the
fOlles and weakness of others. And
sometimes, as Rose looked back upon
it, this question arose in her mind,
which she never even suggested to her
husband: "Was he in earnest?'

The Poetry of Places.

Mr.. Longfellow, who himself has
lent the attraction of poetry to so many
hills and streams and shores in his
native land, and in Italy and Spain,
has edited a collection of "Poems of
Places" 1t is impossible, of course, to
make a work of that sort exhaustive,
and Mr.. Longfellow has only attempted
an itinerary of England. But a senti-
mental traveller may take singers for
his guides, and follow Apollo Musa-
getcs all over the world if he chooses
Not only has the charm of numberless
scenes won some need of verse from
strangers surprised by the beauty, or
from dwellers grateful for the constant
consultations, of nature, but there Is
something attractive and musical in the
very names of many Of the ancient
homes of man. Here, In England, we
are not, perhaps, altogether fortunate
in these titles of districts, towns and
rivers. But the earlier races have left
in wild Wales, and in the marches and
Cornwall, names full of the mystery
and fascination of the unknown times.
From Ramsgate, and Porlock, and
Chertsey, to Celyddon the Forest, to
Cader Idris, to Agned Cathregomon, Is
a long road, all the way from natural
matter of fact to natural poetry. The
Celtic and possibly even earlier words
suggest and inspire poetry, the Teutonic
names only suffer themselves to be used
with reluctance. Mr.. Iennyson's idyls
show what melody there Is in the Corn
ish terms, and Scott's .sonorous list Of
peaks and ravines where the hunted stag
fled is an imperlshable passage OF
poetry. Lord Macaulay's similar list,
in the ballad of the Armada, has to deal
with more stubborn stuff, The names
are names of English homes and tow
ers above the deep, the spirit Of the song
is high and free, but in the hill coun-
tries, where the older terms abide, there

Before laying submarine cable be-
tween the proposed places it is eX-
tremely important to take sOundings
and otherwise survey the ocean, so as
to determine the exact route the cable
should take. A cable is too costly to be
flung away anywhere on the sea bot
tom, and the sea bottom is sometimes of
very mfavOrable character. 1t may
be said that too little attention has hth-
erto been paid to this point in cable lay
ing. Expensive cables have been
manufactured at home with their rela-
tive length of shore end, intermediate,
and main determined by formula or
usage, and then hid away in seas whose
character has been largely taken for
granted; the consequence being that
weighty and costly shOre-end has been
deposited in mud soft as butter, where
it would be out of harms way; while
unprotected main has been laid along
the jagged surface of coral reefs. The
depth and nature of the bottom, the
strength and direction of the currents,
the temperature at the bottom, should
all be ascertained before hand by a
special ship appointed to survey the
proposed track of the cable. The best
route for the cable is then laid down
on the charts as guide to the navi-
gator and engineers engaged in the lay
ing. Great improvements have re-
Gently been made in the method of
taking deep sea soundings. The ordin-
airy plan is to carry the lead-line Ga
strong line or small rope of fine tarred
Manila yarn from the stern along the
ships side to the bows, and there drop
the lead into the sea. AS it sinks the
rope runs out of the drum on which it
is coiled, and when the lead strikes
bottom the running ceases. The in
PRODUCTION of piano-fOrte wire for the
rope, by Sir William Thompson, is a
great improvement ON the clumsy
method. The wire sinks quickly
through the water, and is pulled in
again with very great saving Of time
and labor. But the most ingenious of
all contriyances for finding the depth
Of the sea is Slemen's bathometer,
very recent invention. The bathOmeter
simply stands in the Captains cabin
like barometer, and indicates the
depth of the sea over which the ship Is
passing, just as a barometer indicates
the height of the atmosphere above.
The action of this ingenious contriv-
zee depends on the attraction of the
, nth on a column of mercury, This
attraction is proportional to the earth's
density, and the relative distance of its
crust from the mercury column. Earth
being denser than water, exercises a
greater downward attraction on the
mercury. If, then, there are say a
hundred fathoms of earth or rock, there
will be less downward attraction on it,
Taking advantage of this law, the mer-
curry column is adjustable so as to in
dicate the power of the attraction and
give the depth of the water it cores

A Beautiful Thought.

When the summer of youth Is slowly
wasting away on the nightfall of age,
and the shadow of the path becomes
deeper, and life wears to its close, it Is
pleasant to look through the vista of
time upon the sorrows and felicities of
our earlier years. If we have had a
home to shelter and hearts to rejoice
with US, and friends have been gathered
aroundIour fireside, the rough places of
wayfaring will have been worn and
smoothed away In the twilight of life,
and many dark spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy indeed are those
whose intercourse with the world has
not changed the tone of their feeling,
or broken those musical chords of the
heart whose vibrations are so melodl-
Gus, so tender and so touching In the
evening of their lives.

Twice the temple OF st. Sophia was
destroy ed by fire and twice rebuilt;
twice the great dome fell and twice it
was restored. The arches, having re-
sounded to the music of Chrysostom's
voice, came at last to echo the blasphe-
mics of the infidel and the grOans of the
wounded and dying. At the capture
of Constantinople, the clergy, the vir-
gins dedicated to God, and a multitude
of people of all classes, crowded into
the church and sought refuge behind
the high altar. Mahomet at the head
of the Osmanlis rode into the sane
tuary, forced his way through the af-
frighted throng, and leaping from his
horse at the altar, he cried, "There is
no God but God, and Mahomet is his
Prophet" A hideous scene Of slaughter
followed, and the temple was desecrated.
The sultans have despolled 1t of its
pictorial beauty, have added minarets
and abutments to support the totterng
southeast wall; have caused the rich
frescoes to be plastered over with yell
lowish substance; have Clipped away
wherever 1t was possible the carved
symbol Of the cross; have hung great
disks craven with the names Of the
four companions Of the Prophet over
the seraphims under the dome, with
their slender wings crossed above and
below them. Beneath the cupola is in.

Amount of Dentistry Done in the United
states.

That people are becoming aroused
upon the subject of teeth can be seen
from the employment of from eleven to
twelve thousand dentists in our country
alone, who according to the best author
ity, are annually packing into cavities
in teeth no less than half ton of pure
gold, costing, owing partly to the great
amount of labor required to furnish 1t,
about half million dollars, or one
three-hundredth part of all the gold in
the United States. Besides this, there
probably is in weight four times as
much cheaper material used for filing
cavities In teeth, costing about $l5O0OO,
In this country there are annually made
about three millions of artificial teeth, ,
mounted upon plates of gold, vulcanite
and platina, which contribute to keep
the fingers of this busy profession at
work. What is more wonderful is that
not half of the people avail themselves
of their valuable services who need
them, not only for their health ana
happiness, but to maintain beauty of
form and complexion of the face.
From statistics taken in America, it has
been ascertained that out of an average
of about eighty people of all classes, as
we find them, only one can be found
with perfect dental organs, All the
rest are troubled more or less with de-
cayed teeth. - Fdrrar'S DeRiol Pdrlor

it was hardly kind of Mr.. Longfellow
to sully the name of Magdalene College

things. AS we go north and west poets
become more common, and MIR. Hawker
seems as much at home on the fantastic
and solemn coast of Cornwall as Cole

lakes and hills. In contest of north

strong on the former side. Who has

A song for the girl love
God love her
A song for the eyes Of tender shine,
And the fragrant mouth that melts on mine,
The simmer tresses uncontrolled
That clasp her neck with tendril gold
The blossom mouth and the dainty chin,
And the little dimples out and in
The girl love
God love her
A song for the girl loved
God love her
A song for the eyes Of faded light,
And the cheek whose red rose waned to white
The quiet brow with its shadow and CLEAN,
And the dark hair droopedin a long, deep dream
The small hands crossed for their churchyard
rest
And the lilies ON her sweet, dead breast,
The girl loved
