to $3.50 (corn profit), equals $3.50,

When Tom was requested by his
teacher to write 8 composition, he
thought earnestly for an hour, and Sc
lected The Flea as his subject. His
composition was as follows:
s'The flea ain an animal nor a fish
but he is what they call an inseck. Some
spell him flee but my dictionary says
flea. - In ancient days the flea WASH 6
much trouble but he was wicked. The
Scriptures say: The wicked flea when
no man pursueth.' Now, every man
and woman too pu7sues him when he
gets on 'em. The flea is mentioned in
another place. In telling about Mary 8
lamb the writer says: His 1eas was
white as snow. I never saw a white
flea for they were all black. The fea
is harder to catch than any fish. One
time I felt one on my nose and reached
up. Then felt him on my toe and
I reached down. Then I felt him on my
nose and reached up. Then I felt him
on my toe and reached down. Then
felt him on my nose and reached up and
forget the rest, only didn't catch
him -

FaIl of Towar.

A month ago half of the tower Of the
Cathedral Church of St. John, Chester.
Eng, fell with a crash of masonry and
the cIangOr of bells. The tower rose to
a height of one hundred and fifty feet,
and was a landmark for the surround
ing country. An immense crack, which
extended from the summit to the base
for years past, had, after the rigOrs of
the past winter, opened more widely,
and the whole tower had given such
signs of insecurity that the authorities
of the church had taken steps to repair
it. These precautions came too late,
however, for on the north side the tow
er was evidently giving way, and was
pronounced unsafe by the builder en-
gagged on the work. The church itself,
and the abbey adjoining, date from
Saxon times, and the tower, built of the
red sandstone of the district, in the ear
" English style of architecture, was one
Of its most beautiful features. In the
tower was a peal of eight bells, the most
meIodious in the city, and five of these
lie buried in the ruins, while the other
three are suspended in the belfry by the
most slender support. The body OF the
church has not suffered, except to =
slight extent, the tower being isolated
from it. The most serious loss is the
destruction of a massive and beautiful
early English porch and gateway.

A Pat Walrns.

One Of the strangest pets in the world
belongs to the captain of the Spanish
barque Odulia. 1t is a Walrus, which
was captured when it was quite young,
thirteen years ago, in Behrings Straits.
At that time, the walrus was about the
size and weight of a full-grOwn otter,
but now it weighs more than 400
pounds, has two enormous tusks, meas
ures six feet three inches inogfrth, and
is over eight feet long. The walrus
spends most Of its time on shipbOard,
but during pleasant weather it some
times dispOrts itself for hours in the
sea, from which it is lifted to the deck
by means Of a great iron basket. The
odd pet readily answers the call Of its
master-tho Spanish captain-and il
cannot bear to be separated from him
for many hours at q time.

Phosphate Mining in Canada.

Phosphate mining promises to be one
Of the leading industries in Canada.
The deposits lie chiefly in the vicinity
Of Ottawa and on the Lievre, and though
partaking rather Of the nature Of
pockets than true fssure veins, the
amount taken out and ready to ship at
the opening Of Spring viii reach some
5000 tons. The shipment Of phOsphates
from Canada to England during 1880
was 1900 tons, but part Of this was
held over from the previous season. In
the manufacture of superphOsphates for
fertilizers, the phosphate is combined
with the refuse tibres and bones Of the
menhaden fish, from which the oil has
been expressed in such proportions as
to render the product almost identical,
chemically, With Peruvian guRno.
