I'm HEAVEN !!

1t has often been noticed, so often that
the subject is trite, how often vein of
comedy is found in the deepest tragedies
of life. This is exemplifed in remark
of Goodwin to his dying wife, too character
istic of that unsentimental materialist to be
passed over. lii one of Mary Woolstone-
crafts last hours, when she was suffering
acute agony, Mr.. Basil Montagu ran to DR..
Carlisle, and returned before the physi-
clan with an anodyne which he admins
tered himself, raising her in bed to give
it. The medicine had an immediate
effect, and she turned TO her husband,
who held her hand, with sigh of relief,
and said. "Gh, Goodwin, I am in heaven!"
But even at that moment Goodwin declined
to be entrapped into the admission that

WHAT IS GIBRALTAHa

The rocky promontory which constitutes
Gibraltar projects into the sea distance
of about three miles, with width of one-
half to three-quarters of mile. On the
eastern side is the Mediterranean, on the
west the spacious bay of Gibraltar, and on
the south the strait of the same name.
The rock occupies about two-thirds of the
length of the promontory, and its inland
termination is precipitous. Beyond, to
the north, the ground is low and fat for
the remainder of the distance to the main
land of Spain. The lower part of this
level strip belongs to England, the middle
is neutral, and then commences the
Spanish territory. II is said the English
portion is undermined, with a view to rem
der Gibraltar an island in case of military
necessity. The rock is rather less than
1,45O feet high, and its length extends
north and SOUTH On all sides excepting
the western the ascent is almost perpen-
dicular, SO that access is utterly impossi-
BILE except from the quarter named. The
city is built along the base of the western
slope and faces on the bay. The streets
are narrow and crooked; the houses are
mixture of the low, fiat rooted and dark
colored, with the Spanish whitewash mo-
notony; the shops on waterproof street are
dear and mixed in nationality; the people
are Spanish, English, Moorish, Jewish,
red Goals and nondescripts; the public
buildings are without interest; English and
Spanish coins form the circulating medium;
the port is lively with large number of
small craft-and such is the town of Glib
raltar, with its population of 10000.
England came in possession of the place in
1904, when Sir George Cooke surprised it
when held by Spanish garrison of but
eighty men. The treaty of Utrecht, in
1713, confirmed it to the English, who
have preserved their ownership in spite of
the extended Spanish seiges of 1927 and
1879. The word Gibraltar is derived from
the Arabic gebei, mountain, and Takak,
the name of Moorish general who assisted
in the conquest of Spain A. d. Ill

DISOIsDEIsLY ROOM.

Lady Caroline Lambs room was em-
blematic of her mind. Valuable things
half buried in heap of rubbish were
robbed of their beauty by incongruous
surroundings. The chintz curtains of the
bed and windows were full of holes; two
antique cabinets, each surmounted by an
elegant crucifx, with piece of embroid-
cry and point lace (said to have been part
of petticoat belonging to Mary Stuart)
spread beneath as an altar cloth, stood at
one end of the apartment. One set of
shelves contained presentation volumes
from nearly all her literary contemporaries;
another set was covered with medals,
medicine bottles, and pieces of plumcake.
On the walls hung portraits of her husband
and son, o water-color sketch represent
ing Death snatching her lost children from
her arms, and two miniatures of Byron
painted by herself. On a centre-table
might be seen q prayer-book, some of
Dibdin's music, flask of cognac, q basin
of cold Cruel, eggs, bottle of lavender
water and piece of picked salmon. 1t
is not surprising that such heterogeneous
collection in ladys apartment should
create suspicion of her sanity. Temple Bar.

TROPICAL TREE FORMS.

Some are almost cylindrical, rising up
out of the ground as if their bases were
concealed by accumulations of the soil;
others get much thicker near tine ground,
like our spreading oaks others again, and
these are very characteristic, send out,
toward the base, fiat and wing-like pro-
iections. These projections are thin slabs
radiating from the main trunk, from which
they stand out like the buttresses of
Gothic cathedral. They rise to various
heights on the tree, from five or six to
twenty or thirty feet; they often divide as
they approach the ground, and sometimes
twist and curve along the surface for
considerable distance, forming elevated
and greatly compressed roots. These but
tresses are sometimes so large that the
spaces between them, if rooted over would
form huts capable of containing several
persons
There is another form of tree, hardly less
curious, in which the trunk, though gen.
orally straight and cylindrical, is deeply
furrowed and indented, appearing as if
made up of number of small tree grown
together, at the centre. Sometimes the
junction of what seem to be the component
parts is so imperfect, that gaps or holes
are left by which you can see through the
trunk in various places. At first one is
disposed to think this is caused by acci-
dent or decay, but repeated examination
shows it to be due to the natural growth of
] the tree.

A French Prince once sent an aid de-
camp to painter, remal kabe for his love
of Jokes and his idleness commanding his
presence. The officer went and brought
the artist with him. A picture was given
him to copy, and he took it way with him.
1t was painting of house. In few
days the officer went to the painter to see
what progress he had made, and having
returned, acquainted the prince that all
was done but one chimney, on which the
painter was then employed. Some days
passed, and the picture was not returned.
The prince resolved to 60 himself. He
did so, and found the painter still at the
unfinished chimney.
"Why, how is this?" said he. "All
this time employed at one chimney"
Il have been obliged to do and undo it
several times"
"For what reason p said the prince.

Tie prince laughed heartily, and took
his leave.

A clever man once argued that cork trees
grew to supply shoppers for ginger beer
bottles. That was his way of limiting that
too much might be made of the argument
from design. In spite of the warning thus
conveyed, we must in the outset, mention
a very curious fact e two about wool, that
may be regarded as strengthening the ar
gument from design or not as the reader
chooses. Wool is simply kind of modi-
fed hair, depending on the very same con-
dition of the skin, into which we cannot
now enter. But hair-especially human
hair-and wool differ very much in one
respect-hair when seen under the micro
scope, gives succession of markings,
more or less regular, running across it, in
dicating that it is composed of a series of
cells very closely pressed together; but
wool shows these markings SO much more
defined that they present a serrated out
side surface, resulting from the inequali-
ties where the cells join together. This
is what gives the curl observable in wool
and woolly hair. 1t is because human hair
generally does not have these serrations
that it cannot be felted, and that it can be
woven only with great difficulty, and would
not make very warm garments even if it
were. In preparation for some of the
worstpds, indeed, one of the processes in
combing wool aims at reducing the degree
of serration, so as to obtain more smooth
ness and softness in the fabric. 1t may be
mentioned, too, that one of the main rea-
sons why such staples as mohair and alpaca
so imperatively need to be mixed with
other substances in being worked arises
mainly from the shortness of the serra-
tions. Sir Titus Salts wonderful foresight
and skill seen as much in his clear
discernment of the exquisite qualities in
the mixing staples as in the conviction of
the availability of alpaca itself to produce
glossy and beautiful cloth. These micro
scopic inequalities in the wool are thus what
give it its great value as woven commo-
dity--hair having comparatively little CO.
hesion when woven together. Though the
wool-spinner may not have the fact in
mind when he purchases his raw material,
it is really the number of these serrations
which determines qualities. The finer the
wool the greater the number of serrations.
The best Saxony WOOL we learn, contains
2, 700 of these syrrations in single inch;
merino wool only about 2, 100; while the
coarser sorts, as found on some of the
Leicester sheep, does not present more
than 1850 1t needs to be borne in mind
however, that several qualities of wool are
got off one sheep, and this it IS which
gives rise to the occupations of wool
sorting or wool-staplng .-Good Words.

sances detrimental to health be abated
and that disinfectants be used freely
wherever needed. The terrible spread of
yellow fever in all parts of the South is
evidence that the atmosphere is laden
with the malarial poison that breeds
disease, and that as the season progresses
localities further north are liable to be-
come impregnated in the same manner, if
not to an equal extent. Even if
Cincinnati is too well located and
naturally too healthy to be
subject to yellow fever epidemic, dur
ing season like this the most thorough
cleanliness is necessary to prevent the
presence of other diseases. The filth and
noxious odors that would invite spread
of yellow fever in less favored localities
may only result in causing bilious and
other less malignant malarial fevers here;
but even these it isn't necessary to invite,
and the public does not propose to see it
done. The officials who are responsible
in this matter can consider themselves
excused from the necessity for making
any more explanations if they will get
down to business and do their duty. This
applies with equal force to Council, Board
of Public Works, Sanitary force, officers

All inquiry at the stores will assist in the
choice of an article to raise, and the ease
with which the facilities available can be

thing neglected by others, will find a
ready market, and if well managed will
give surprising profit. Thus boy early
