Armour did not refuse her consent he
would before long put it in Georges
power TO marry, on condition that his
house should be, for a time at least,
the home of the young couple.
These matters comfortably settled
Mr. Greenleafs heroism declined lit
tie, and he was not sorry when all the
adieus were fairly said and he could
hide his face and his disappointment in
the corner of stage coach.
Mrs. Wilson received him very gra-
ciously, much pleased in her secret soul
TO think that one of her predictions had
been verified by the gun, but little
dreaming how near she had come TO
being supplanted by slip Of girl
Mrs. Armour had heard good many
things, yet she and Mr.. Greenland found
much interesting conversation after this;
and Mr.. Armour, having happily ceased
to torment the world in general, and
his wife in particular, we may venture
to predict that at some time or other
Mrs. George Everts and Mrs. Wilson
will both, be superseded by a Mrs.
Greenleaf, whose years will 80 nearly
correspond with those Of her licge
lord, that the unfinished spot on the
outside of Mr.. Grcenlcafs head will
cease TO be matter Of disturbance TO
the owner.
Mr.. Greenlcaf asserts that going into
the country cures badness, and he
proves itsyllogistically, according to the
present fashion, thus:
Badness was his trouble.
Going into the country cured his
trouble.
Ergo-going into the cuontry cures
badness

THE WORLD OF SCIENCE.

Nature raises water for refreshing the
earth from 1900 to 1000 feet in some
portions of South America, and even
10000 feet for the highest inhabited
regions OF Thibet.
The MSluis Of Butte has introduced
the beaver into his lands on the island
Of Bute, and the animal thrivcs there.
The beaver became extinct in Great
Britain moro than three centuries ago.
According TO Sir Bar,lc Frcre, late
high commissioner of the British gov
eminent for South Africa, the area in
which the tsetsc fly is fatal to the ami
mails it bites appears gradually to bc
diminishing.
The Southern Alps of New Zealand
are to be explored next year by mem
bcrs Of the English Alpine club. In
the loftiest peak, Mount Cook, which
has never yet been assembled TO the sum
NIT, they will find work worthy Of their
powers. It's height is estimated at
nearly 1000 feet.
When cotton waste or shavings are
saturated with oil, large surface is
exposed to the action Of the air. and If
the oil has the property of absorbing
oxygen, it may absorb tho gas so rapidly
as to take fire. This is the way in which
spontaneous combustion takes place.
As petroleum naphtha does not absorb
oxygen, 1t never takes fire by spon.
taneous combustion.
Underground cables for ;clcgraphic
purposes are been laid in France from
Nancy TO Paris A line Of twelve insu.
lated wires is placed in a largo tube Of
cast-iron. At suitable distances doors
are constructed 30 that a section can bc
removed and replaced without having to
open the ground, as in Germany, where
the cables are imbcdded in asphalt.
VI. Muntz, q French scientist, has
lately examined spring. river, sea and
rain-watcr; also snow. He finds alcohol
in all except in very pure spring water.
By comparison with water holding
known quantities OF alcohol. rain water
and the water of the Seine
are estimated to contain about one
gramme per cubic meter. Snow and
cold rain seem to contain little more.
The proportion in sea water is much the
same. There is evident reason TO
suppose that alcohol exists in the state
of vapor in air. This diffusion of the
substance in nature is easily explained
by the destruction OF organic matter by
various agents of fermentation. On
this hypothesis one should find a good
deal Of alcohol in the ground.

Names Of Countries.

The Phnnicians, who were great
commercial people in the young days OF
the world, are thought to have given the
present names Of most Of the countries
around the Mediterranean sea. The
Phmnician language contained the words
Europe, Asia, Africa, Italy, Spain, Gaul,
Britain, Etna, Sardinia and Siberia, as
we'll as many others now used as the
names of minor places.
Europe, in Phmnician, meant "whito
complexion" and was applied to the
country north of the Mediterranean,
because the natives were Of lighter com
plexion than those of Asia and Africa.
Africa signifed the "land of corn, and
Asia meant "the middle land" being SO
named because 1t was between Europe
and Africa. Italy was the country of
black pitch !" Spain was the Gland Of
rabbits" Ganl, or France, the Gland
OF yellow-hair; Britain, "the country
of tin !" 1stna, "the smoky furnace :"
Sardinia, ga mans foot t"-becanse IL is
shaped like foot, and Siberia, " "thirsty
land "-bccause it Is so dry.

An Honored Superstition.

The Pittsburg Chronicle tells Of an old
lady in Cressona, Pa, who changed her
residence the other day, and in order TO
have good luck in her new home sent as
the first articles to be placed in the
house the family Bible and bag Of
salt. She afterward learned to her dis
may that it was Latin dictionary in
stead of the Bible she had sent ahead TO
her new homo. The superstition here
alluded 20 is an old and honored one,
and is practiced by goodly number of
people, especially those having Scotch
blood in their veins. In Professor
Shairp's recently published life of
Robert Burns, Scotia nd's poet, We fnd
the following alIusion to this crStom:
"It was not until the middle Of 1888
that the farmhouse of Ellisland was
finished built by Burns from the pro-
ceeds OF the Edinburg edition Of his
works. and that he and his family, leav-
ing the isle, vent to live in it. When
all was ready Burns bade his servant,
Betty Smith, take bowl Of salt and
place the family Bible upon il, and bear
ing these walk first into the new house
and possess IL. He himself, with his
wife on his arm, followed Betty and the
Bible and the salt, and so they entered
their new abode. Burns delighted TO
keep up the old world freits OF usagcs
like this"

ReeenI Wool sales.

stsubenVllls Bulletin,
Mr.. Hemingway is again out looking for
wool for Western mills, and among other
lots he has purchased about $4,000 pounds
from Horkheimer Bros, Of Wheeling, and
included in this are several fancy clips for
which Horkheimers paid 42c, and even
higher. As to the price paid by Heming-
ySy, Sam George says that he did not
pay less than 45c. But We presume he
did. Whatever he paid it was worth the
money, on any market, and was the best
lot OF wool ever owned or sold by Hork-
heimer Bros.
The market Is still quiet in this section.
There is comparatively no wool in this
ueighborhood on which to base any activ-
ity. Scattering clip lots are held at 4Sc,
and there are fewer Of them than ever be-
fore at this season Of the year. OF second
hand lots, they are either sold or gone for:
ward, the greater portion Of them at Al and
&c, although Hemingway, OF Chicago,
paid H0rkheimers more money for lot
Of %, 900 pounds, which contained some OF
the Panhandle fancy clips. 1t goes on, We
understand, to the Racine Mills, OF Wis
consin.
