Beauties of the Underground World.

1t has often happened that in the course
of excavations in search of minerals, the
workmen have come upon some singular
hollows or openings in the rock, caused
by commissions of the earth or earth
quakes, or caverns through which tor
rents have flowed in former ages, and
have left them for nature to ornament in
the most beautiful and fantastic manner.
You will understand how the natural
caverns are formed that may be seen
on the sea-coast; the moving waters,
carrying with them gravel and sand, en-
ter the cracks and crevices in the rocks,
and increase their size by wearing away
portions of the rock until caverns are
formed. Some of these are Of immense
size. and the extent of many is unknown.
Many caverns are lined with beautiful
crystals, called cdIcGreOuS spar, or sub
stances containing much lime, and gen.
orally colored by the impurities of the
water that has dropped on them. Some
times these crystals are of a pure white,
and have, when the cave is lighted up, a
richness and Transparency that can scarce
ly be imagined. Others have the appear
ance of stone, moss, and shells, in every
variety of color.
Caverns of enormous extent occur in
Iceland; that of Gurtshellir being forty
feet in height, fifty in breadth, and near
ly annie in length. 1t is situated in the
lava that has flowed from a volcano.
Beautiful black 8talactites hang from the
spacious vault, and the sides are covered
with glazed stripes, thick covering of
ice, clear as crystal, coating the floor.
One spot in particular is mentioned by
traveller, when seen by torch-light, as
surprising anything that can be deScrib-
ed. The roof and sides of the cave were
decorated with the most superb icicles.
crystalized in every possible form, many
of which rivalled in delicacy the clearest
froth or foam, lille from the icy floor
arise pillars of the same substance, in all
the curious and fantastic shapes that can
be imagined. A more brilliant scene,
perhaps, never presented itself to the hui
man eye.

An Indian Game.

When not on the war path, or engaged
in hunting, Western Indians spend much
of their time in various games or con-
tests of skill. OF these contests, one of
the most popular is flying the arrow, a
spgrt to which the Indians of all tribes
devote considerable time and attention.
When this game is proposed, each of
those who wish to join in it lays on the
ground something of small valne, such
as a pipe, culver of arrows, bow, spear,
tobacco pouch, or knife, and when all
have been collected, the value of the
whole makes prize we'll worth trying
for.
Then bows are carefully examined, a
dozen of the best arrows in the CULVER
selected, and the first of the competitors
steps out in front of the rest, and pre-
pares to shoot, not at a mark, but straight
up into the air. His object is to have as
many arrows in the air as possible at the
same time; and he who can send send up
the greatest number, before the first
touches the ground, wins the game and
all the prizes
But few of the most expert of the In
dian bowmen have been known to put
more than ten arrows into the air at
once, and to do even this requires extra
ordinary skill and strength. The arrows,
ten or twelve in number, are held in the
hand that grasps the bow, and the rapid
ity with which each is fitted to the string
and sent upward is truly wonderful.

''the fact is that fellow is not bee at all,

because its victims do not expect to be

insect. There are many such cases of
mimicry in the insect world. 1t belongs

The Clowns Baby,

One night during the performance of
a pantomime at bennington, in which
William emmett took the part of clown,
a curious hitch occurred. At the mo-
ment when that ever-mischievous indi-
vidual had to run on the stage with a
baby, supposed to have been stolen from
some perambulator, which said baby is
then thrown violently at the policeman
as he PUSHES in, staff in hand, the dunn
my, or, as it is termed, property" baby,
was nowhere to be found. 1t so happened
that woman was standing near the
wing door with q baby in her arms at
the moment when William emmett came
for his dummy. Seeing that it was not
forthcoming, he at once snatched the
baby from the woman's arms, and rush
ed with it to the wing. The woman,
thinking, no doubt, that her child would
be subjected to the same rigorous treat
ment that the dummy had to undergo,
was forrushing pell-mell after the clown
her struggles to do so when we restrain
ed her being at once laughable and touch
ing. | assured her that the baby was as
safe in the clowns arms as her own; and
in the end that proved to be so. emmett
tossed the baby up and down, and made
pretence to throw it at the policeman,
but handled it as tenderly as a woman
could have done. Cheers and roars OF
laughter arose from the audience when
they discovered that the clown had a
real baby in his arms; and recall had
to be complied with before the child was
finally handed over to its anxious moth
er. Many of us regretted that we had
not allowed the woman to rush in after
her baby, as it certainly deprived the
audience of a passage-at-arms rarely to
be witnessed on any stage.

trict she is seen bending over heaps of
garbage or ash barrels, and picking from
them anything that is suitable TO go into
the coarse sack that she carries. The
strangely-costumed figures of these little
child-woman ragpickers are among the
most curious seen in the streets of a great
city.
Sunday among the tenements is as diff
ferent from a week day as is Sunday in
other and more favOrably conditioned
communities. But the difference is in
another direction. Instead of less life,
there is more life apparent. The small
places of business are for the most part
open to customers, the chief feature to
distinguish the day from other days
being the drawing of the curtains
at the doors and windows of beer
shops and bar-rooms. The day be-
gins later than week days, and with the
majority of tenement jewellers it ends
later. In cold weather the most of the
day is spent indoors. At this season the
windows are thrown open, and the alleys,
courts and stoops are utilized for the
purpose of breathing the outdoor air (;
still later there is an exodus to the parks,
the roads, and the river fronts, where the
air blows fresher. Thus there are more
persons seen in the tenement districs at
this and corresponding seasons than at
every window, and persons on every
stoop and alley entrance. The men and
women are generally in everyday attire.
The children often have something about
them Indicative of a sense on the part of
some one that the day is different from
Others-a bit of bright ribbon to conine
their hair, a clean, white apron, pair
of creaking shoes. Tenement jewellers
are not, generally speaking, churchgoers.
The great majority of them prefer to be
where they can air themselves and stir
around. The matter of dress is doubtless
a consideration with them in very many
cases but the Catholic churches not be-
ing intended for the display of purple
and fine linen on the part of worshippers,
the proportion of those who like to go,
and who yet stay away because their
garments are poor, is probably small
The majority of those who have any de-
cided religious inclination, and whose
day of worship is Sunday, are believers
in the Catholic faith. The Jewish ele-
ment in the southern portion of this dis
trict is very large, and in that portion
nearly all places of business are open on
Sunday, and those who are not employed
in trades that suspend work on Sunday
go on with their employment as on 4
week day. Almost the first indication
in any community of a tendency to depart
from the New England Sabbath OBJ.
servance of Sunday is the preparing of 9
Sunday dinner that shall be a little more
inviting than the usual principal meal Of
the day; but the extra features of the
Sunday dinner spread on nearly every
poor mans table are more likely the re.
tanning of one of the holiday features o.
the day as celebrated in most other coun.
tries than an indication of a drifting
away from the old New England idea
Thus do two extremes, in the matter Of
observing Sunday, come together at the
dinner table.-NeoO York Sun.

A jeweler hung a watch in his window
and labeled it Look at this watch for

from Africa who stared at the article
and then went in and wanted the $40,
had to get down on the floor with the
jeweler and roll over and under him a
number of times before he could be made
to understand that he couldn't have any
$40, and they didn't want him to sling
any lip to them in that shop.
