hermitage, at the base of the cone.
Now comes the tug in earnest; over
1000 feet to climu, at an inclination of
about fifty degrees, over loose cinders,
which slide from under the feet at
every step. 1t takes an hour Of the
most toilsome and exhaustlng climbing
to reach the top; the crater, the very
mouth of the Dcvil's domain; all around
you the masses Of cinder and scorla are
smoking and giving on sulphurous va
pors. The interior Of the crater pre-
sents motlled and irregularly striped
surfaces Of rich and vnriegatcd hues,
the bright yellow color of sulphur
largely prcdOminating. The form of
the crater Is constantly undergoing
changes. For example. the old crater,
which is very large, the circumference
being several niles in extent, Is not
the real crater Of to-day, for new cone
Is now forming within this old crater.

great quantities Of red-hot stones and

upon the sides Of the cone and keep o.

terrible sublimity of this volcanic ac-
ton has to be seen to be appreciated;
the most graphic Of descriptions must
fall short of conveying an adeq uatc
idea of the stupendous forces of the
burning, fuming crater of Vcsuvius.
What was most astonishing to the
writer was the near approach one can
make without danger, for we did not
stop on the brink of the old crater
where the ashes were even hot enough
to cook our eggs in five minutes, but
we went down into it, walking over
immense masses Of cooled lava, and
approached to within six or eight feet
of the rod-hot flowing stream. Butwe
did not stay there long; it was quite too
warm to be comfortable. If the ascent
was slow and irksome the descent was
quite the reverse, for while it took us a

How Mildness Subducs.

Toms sister Nell was pretty, and year
older than Tom, wanted to show her author
ity over him. Tom was rough and awk-
ward, and just ut the age when a boy re-
sents all meddling with his rights He
would put his hands in his pockets, his
chair on Ncll's dress, and his feet on the
window-sill. OF course they often quar-
relied.
''lHor PHYS sake, Tom, do take your
hands out of your pockcts!" Nell would
say, in her most vcXing manner.
'What arc pockets for, I'd like to know,
if not to put ones hand inl" and Tom
would whistle and march off.
''rom, don't believe you've combcd
your hair for Il week"
"Wcll, what's the uscl 1t would be all
roughcd up in less than an hour"
81 do wish, Tom, you would take your
great boots off the window sill !"
''Oh, don't bother NE, Pm reading" J"
Tom would say and the boots refused to
stir al inch, which Of course, was very
naughty. And so it would go from morn
ing till night.
But little sister Bcss had a somewhat diff
fercnt way with stubborn Tom. Bcss
seemed to understand that coaxing was
better than driving; and sometimes, when
he sat with both hands plunged in his
pockets, Bess, with Il book or picture,
would nestle down beside him, and almost
before lie knew it, one hand would be pat
ting her curls, while the other turned the
leaves or held the pictures. If she Glanced
to see his feet on the window-sil, she would
say, "Just try my ottoman, Tom, dear, and
sec how comfortable it is to the feet" and
though Tom occasionally growlcd in good
paturcd way about it being too low, the
boots always came down to its level. When
ever his hair looked very rough, she would
steal behind him and smooth it out in way
Tom liked so well that it was temptation
to let it go rough, just for the pleasure of
having her comb it. Yet for the next three
days, at least, he would take special pains
to keep every hair III its place, simply to
please little Bess.
AS they grew older, Bcss, in the same
quiet, loving way, helped him to grow wise
and manly. If she had an interesting book,
she always wanted Tom to enjoy il with
her; if she was going to call on any of her
young friends, Tom was always invited to
go with her
81 can't understand" said lady Nell,
"why you should always want that bsy for
ever at your elbow! He's rough and awk-
ward as a bear.'
''Somc bears are as gentle as kittens, +"
said Bcss, slipping her arm through his,
with loving hug, while ''tlio bear" felt n
great warm glow at his heart as he walked
away with Bess, and determined to try
harder to be courteous and 'gcntle as kit
ten" for her sake.

The Headless CumIns.

In the parish Of Edinkellic, q place
towards the centre Of Morayshre, in
the northern part Of Scotland, there is
a romantic and fearful chasm, suppos-
ed to have been st one time the bed of
the river Divie, 1t has two entrances
at tho upper end, and tho ancient
courses which led the river into these
successfully are easily traceable. The
lower extremity of the ravino tcrmin-
ates abruptly about forty feet high
above the Divie, that flows at its base.
This spot is one of a very interesting
nature. Its name Gaelic signifies '.the
Hollow Of the Heads;" name origin
ating, it Is said, in the following tran.
sactions. Near the upper end Of the ra-
vine there Is n curious cavern, formed Of
huge masses Of fallen crags, that cover
the bottom of the place. 1t enters
downwards like q pit, and the mouth,
which Is no more than wide enough to
admit man, is not easily discovered.
Here it was that the brave Allister
Bane secreted himself after the Battle
of the Lost Standard. At this time tho
Castle Of Dunphail was besieged by
Randolph, Earl Of Moray; and Allister
against him In the open field, content
ed himself with harrassing the enemy.

son were rednced to great want, he and

laden with sacks, they came to the edge
of the glen where Randolph's beleag-
uering party lay, and pretending to be
peasants carrying meal from the low
countries to the Highlands, they en-
treated their protection from one Allis-
ter Bane, of whom they were afrdai.
Their prayer being granted, they un-
yoked their horses, and took care to
leave their sledgcs ut the brink Of the
precipice, so that on a given signal
