A WONDERFUL AErEsIaN WELL.-The
deepest artesian well i'll the world is now
in progress at Pesth, and has already
reached a depth of 951 metres (3llS.)
Tie well at Paris, which is 541,metres III
depth, has hitherto held the first place IN
such achievements The work is carried
on at the expense of the city, which has
granted sun equal to geo for the
purpose, with TIE intention OF obtaining
an unlimited supply of warm water for

/, THE CUISINE IN SwEDEN.-The habit OF
lunching in the very presence of dinner,
If going to side-tabie and eating your
fill of anchovies, raw herriEgs, smoked
beef and cold eel PIE, while dinner is on
the very table, still prevails, and is hardly
conducive to health 1t is said that the
halit OF taking ga SUP, as the Swedes
call it, arose from the scarcity OF delica-
cies. Ii. was hard 10 get enough of any
one nice thing to make meal Of, SO You
were first delicately innuendaed off to the
brandy table las 1t is c;.lled,) and then
allowed to sit down To dinner. The prac-
| tica is universal in Sweden Private
! houses, hotels and boarding houses all
feed you On preliminary scraps, and voc
| be to you if you innocently turn away
| from the proffered luncheon You fare
! ike an ascetic and feed yourself on ordGrs.
| The ordinary routine OF dining seems in
| Sweden 10 be In wild confusion. Soup
sometimes ends instead OF beginning the
dinner Iced soups and cold fish are
dainties to the Scandinavian palate Muc,,
of the soup is nauseorsly sweet, favored
with cherries, raspoerries and gooseber-
ries, often with macaroOn cakes and spikes
Of cinnamon floating wildly about in it
This is eaten as a sort of dessert, and is
cold and often beautifully clear. Ii
Heine bitterly reviled the English for
bringing vegetables on the table ou ma
turel, there is no such complaint to be
made here. Heaven, earth and hell are
eaten with sauce-sauces red, white and
blue, green, yellow and black-sauces
celestial and sauces internal. Strange
combinations Of ice-oream heaped over
delicious apple tarts, OF strange dishes OF
berry Juice boiled down and mixed with
farina, sugar and almonds, then cooled,
nodded and turned out into basins of
cream, to be eaten with crushed sugar and
wine, appear at the end of dinner. The
Swedes share with the Danes and Arabs a
passionate fondness for sweetmeats-
Everything is slightly sweet even green
peas are sugared, as weH as the innumer-
able tea and cufee cakes, SO that long be-
fore the unhappy tourist has finished his
tour he is hopeless dyspeptle or a raging

LENT-The first day OF Lent always
falls on Wednesday, and takes its name
from the impressive ceremony performed
on that day When our first parents
transgressed the Law Of God, the pun
ishment, which quickly followed was q
sentence of death. God forgave the sin,
but imposed lifelong penance, of which
death was tobe the accomplishment. THIS
was the form OF the Divine sentence (:
