Ireland's Eviction Law,

The laws by which evictions for non
payment of rent are authorized have
been on the statute books in Ireland
only thirty years. 1t was not until 1850
that quarter sessions were empowered
to decree evictions for non.payment OF
rent, and it was not until 1850 that the
same power was given to other courts.
The attorney-general for Ireland in a
recent debate laid stress on the fact that
BY the Roman civil law, and even the
law of Scotland, if, through some super
vening calamity, such as extreme in
clemency of weather, a tenants crops
does not repay his labor and his seed, he
is not liable for the rent. In one case,
where the tenants crop had been de-
stroyed bv tremendous fall of hail. the
Scotch courts held that he had sufficient
cause for not paying his rent. The
London Echo contends that the English
law of distress, as it applies to the land,
is an unjust law. 1t gives the landlord
a right accorded to no other creditor, for
it permits him, by means Of a short,
easy and summary process, to obtain his
rents without the expense and delay OF
legal proceedings. But it is generosity
itself compared with that under which
the Irish tenant lives. Such thing as
ejectment for the non-payment of rent
is unknown to the law of England: BY
the terms of the contract between land
lord and tenant tits stipulated to observe
the covenant; but, unless there is a
covenant that he shal. be elected for
non-payment of rent, he cannot be
turned out, except after the usual notice,
whereas in Ireland, provided he is a
years rent in arrears, or four months
behind the time when his rent is ordin-
arily paid, he can be summarilY eyicted,

Make Friends,

Life is very critical. Any word may
be our last. Any farewell, even amid
glee and merriment, may be forever.
If this truth were but burned into our
consciousness, and if it ruled as q deep
conviction and real power in our lives,
would it not give new meaning to our
human relationships? Would it not
make US far more tender than we some
times are? Would it not oftentimes put
rein upon our rash and impetuous
speech? Would we carry in our hearts
the miserable suspicious and jealousies
that now so often embitter the fountains
of our lives? Would we be so impatient
OF the fault of others? Would we allow
trivial misunderstanding to build up a
wall between us and those who ought
to stand very close to us3 Would we
keep alive petty quarrels, year after
year. which a manly word any day
would composer Would we pass old
friends or neighbors on the street with:
out recognition, because of some real
or fancied slight, some wounding ol
pride, or some ancient grudgeP Ol
would we be so chary of the kind words,
our commentators, our sympathy, oul
comfort, when weary hearts all about
US are breaking for just such expires
sions of interest or appreciation as We
have in our power to givcP-Christsaa al

Florida Orang eS.

A letter from Florida to the Boston
Herald says: Nine years ago man and
his wife came down here in the winter
season. He was in bad health, and his
physician told him be would have 70
reside every winter in Florida: bis
financial condition was very weak, ana
he calculated that it would be cheaper
to establish a home and cultivate ms
eatables than to live at hotel: he
came up to Palatka, and purchased and
laid out home. On three or four acres
or this land he sowed orange seed. An
orange grove is one Of the prettiest
sights in the world, and gentlemen
originally set out groves for their neauty
and adornment rather than with any
pecuniary result in mind. Such was
this gentleman's design. They told MN
that in eight years he would nave
hearing grove worth thousands OF DOL
lars. He smiled, and said he had 40 IN.
tention of remaining in Florida hall that
time. Circumstances. however, nave
kept him here, and o.day, lpsteaa "
his Florida residence being heayy a!ss
on his business resources, ms fpoliua
estate pays him over $4,Ooo ysaiI'
Those men who, investing no capltai'
receive from the ground such an m
come as $4,000 to $40, 900 are slngularly
fortunate. With other orange grow
ipe there is less romance and cause
no wonder at their success, since they
buy a grove for from $4,000 to Soo,WU;
but even then the income on the lnVeSt'
ment is unequaled in business annals.
Orange groves are, however, beginning
to. be appraised at their true commerclal
value, and bargains are getting scarcer
and more difficult on the part OF sne
purchaser to consummRte.

The Color OF the Sea.

The chan ges in the color of the sea
have attracted the attention Of seatarlng
men from the earliest times. They
struck with wonder the Ph@nicians
when first they ventured out of the
Mediterranean into the Atlantic; they
excited the astonishment of Columbus
and terrified his companions, while IN
search of the far-famed Indies; and
they are no less surprise to the modern
navigator, to whom the march of dis
covery has left few unexplored regions
in store. One of the most remarkable
and most widely distributed contrasts of
color is that which is known to exist
between the intensely blue seas situated
between the tropics and the green seas
of higher ATTITUDES. 1t appears as the
result of recent observations, and more
especially OF series of experiments
made on board the German frigate
Gazelle, that there is IN intimate rela-
ton between the color of sea water and
the proportion of salt held in solution by
the latter. On comparing the specific
gravity Of green water with that Of
blue water, it was found that the latter
is always heavier than the former, and,
therefore, ut the same time more salt,
the two differently colored waters be-
ing supposed to have the same tempera-
ture. In other words, the greater or
lesser intensity of the blue color of sea
water may be taken as direct index y
its saltness and of its specific gravity,
so that when we observed the color OF
the water successfully change from
deep blue to blush green and dark
green, we may conclude that the water
has become at the same time less salty
and less heavy.

Called His Sister Names.

On one ofthe hottest corners of Wood.
ward avenue, Detroit, at high noon, a
small boy with q bootblack's kit sat
under the full blaze of sun pouring
down for all it was worth. The boy

melted, but he had stuck there for hall

She looked to see if he was tied, anG
was about to 60 and regard him as thu
son of brutal father in a saloon around
the corner. when the lad explained:
There he is now! That boy is tht
chap I was waiting for, and l had to 81

Singular Animal Friendship.

Mr.. Adams, of Van Shaick island
says the Troy Press. is the possessor
bay horse and black Newfoundland
dog, who have formed q wonderful at
tachment for each other. They are
inseparable companions, and one is not
easy if the other is out of It's sight for
moment. Whether in the stable or the
pasture the dog sleeps with his equine
friend. If the horse is harnessed the
dog is on the alert and follows wherever
driven, and when the horse stops the
dog is close at his head, and tits pleas
ure to witness them exchange caresses.
The horse will scratch the dogs back
with his teeth, which delights him
greatly, and in return the horses face
gets q thorough smoothing from the
tongue of the dog. Sometimes in sport
the horse will seize the dog by the nape
of the neck with his teeth and raise him
in the air, but the dog does not whim-
per, but retaliates by watching his op-
portunity to give the ear of the horse q
pinch with his teeth. They will fight
for each other wickedly, If the dog is
attacked by other CANNES he seeks shell
ter under the horse, and tie teeth and
feet of that animal are active in his de-
fense. What the result will be if one of
those devoted friends should die before
the other is matter OF some concern to
the owner, who values both very highly

Curious Intermittent SpIing in
Guatemala,

NJ. De Thiersant, charge d'afaires Of
France in Guatemala, gives, in La
Nature, the following account of phe-
nomenon witnessed by him in the last
named country. At about ten miles
from the capital, near town called Ne
japa, on the lowest declivities of the
volcano of San Salvador, there is a
spring known in the country under the
name of Rio Huido (fleeting river),
which, for period of seven consecutive
years, furnishes enough water to form q
true river. The waters of this spring
are crystalline and wholesome, and, it
is said, are excellent for certain diseases
like leprosy, and for strengthening the
system when debilitated by the climate.
As soon as the seven years are COM
pleted, these same waters disappear at o
certain definite hour, the spring ceases
to flow, and the river bed, becoming
completely dried, exhibits thereafter
nothing but sand and dust. The inter-
mittent periods have been as follows:
From 1866 to 1873 the water flowed J.;
from 1873 to 1880 the spring ceased and
in the month of January of the present
year, the spring began to flow again.
