Scandinavian Hospitality.

The most striking quality of Sean
dinavian character seems to be hos
pitality. Throughout Norway,
Sweden, and the far North the au-
thor was heartily received by every
one, from the king in his palace to
the Laplander in his tent. During
five wears of almost incessant travel
in the course of which every part of
the peninsula was visited, Mr.. Du
Chaillu was coolly treated only once.
The Sweedes and Norwegians have
the reputation of being reserved and
cold, but this is true of them only
when they meet strangers of the
class best suggested by the word
tourist" To any one whose inter-
est in them cannot be measured by
stare or two and a few imperti-
nent tquestions they are unsuspicious
and communicative, as well as cor
dial to the verge of affection. Mr..
De Chaillu went among them freely,
conversed with them in their Ian
guage, wore garments like their own
and took part in their labors, sports,
and ceremonies. The treatment he
received in return causes him to
speak most enthusiastically in praise
Of their sociability and kindness.
As in all other countries that re-
tain primative habits, hospitality in
Scandinavia always implies eating
and drinking. The poorest farmer or
fisherman always has something
to offer the visitor, and llck of appe-
tite is generally construed as
slight. The author mentions one
occasion on which, to avoid hurting
any ones feelings, he ate thirty
times in two days, and drank thirty
four cups of coffee. Often strong
cheese is offered just before a meal
to provoke appetite, and in the cit
les formal dinner is preceded by a
smorgas tablethe author noted smok
ed reindeer meat, smoked salmon
with poached eggs, raw salmon fresh
ly salted, hard-boiled eggs, cavaire,
fried sausage, anchovy, smoked
goose breast, cucumbers, raw salt
herring, several kinds of cheese
and as many of bread, and a salad
made eef picked herring, boiled meat,
potatoes. eggs beets. and onions
There were also three kinds of spir-
its on the table, and from these and
the various dishes the guests helped
themselves bountifully, and then
did justice to an excellent dinner

AUSTIN, Nov. 10.-Yesterday the
old State House was discovered on
fire, and in an hour and q half the
building was completely gutted, the.
walls standing apparently uninjured
The fire originated in the basement
back, used for storing reports of u c
Supreme Court, on the north side o.!
the building. The fire, when dis
covered. had been eating its way
above and through the Speakers
room. The smoke from the burn
ing books had been observed pour
ing out of the chimneys in dense
volumes long before it was suppos-
ed the building was on fire. The
records of the different offices were
generally saved but much scatter
ed and damaged by the rain falling
at the time, The building was
worth perhaps 100000. The total
loss aggregates $4,000.

passed out to the verandah, thence
to the gate, where they lingera few
moments over their farewell-Nel-
lie thinking it the same as usual
until Gerald, at the last moment,
tells her that on the morning he
will leave for California to delve
among the gold fields for the ''fair
competence which is SO necessary
to make two lives happy.
Then, Gerald, if indeed you
think you can better your circum-
stances by going, you carry with
you my earnest desire for your sue
ces. You can be assured that my
love accompanies you as well, and
each missiye from you treasured"
Thanks, dear Nell, your love
shall be the prize for which / am to
struggle, and when fortune smiles
upon me in the Occident, the goal
Of my ambition reached, will re-
turn and claim you as my wife,"
Nellie was unable to bear the sad
words of parting, and had it not
been for the strong arms of Gerald,
would have sank to the earth.
With her shapely head resting on
his bosom-for the last time per-
hape-to him, there seemed no fair
er picture. As they stood there in
silence, the memory of happy days
fioated before them, not dimly, but
in bright relief, tinged by the mellow
Light Of the pure love that had lent
its charm. 1t was as a beautiful
dream reaching its conclusion. Each
was too full for utterance. At last
the spell was broken, it seemed by
that determination which was the
character Of Geralds impulsive ma
ture. StoopiEg, he pressed q pas
sionafc kiss upon her brow, and
said:

at his shop to obtain some sporting
information, and wished to know
who was going to win the race in
Hyde Park. :,
IL do not know anything at all
about it."
"Nav, thee canst tell us some
thing about it; thou knowest what
they've done afore.n
NAY, lad; I've nobbut another
race to run, and then I've done"
Another race art thee going to
run? Another race? Who is it
with? Hast thee made another
match? ?"
"Ay: I've made match with
the Devil for eternal life and my
own soul, and it will take me all
the days of my life to beat him."
His old companion was quite ta-
ken aback. A cannon-shot would
scarcely have surprised him more
than such reply from one who had
been SO famous as a sporting char
acter and so frequently appIauded
in sBell's Life"
When shook hands with him,
last year, he was sixty-four years oI
age, and had been an earnest work
er for temperance and a consistent
Christian for twenty-nine years, with
family of six sons and two daugh-
tiers walking with him in the right
road, one of his sons being a sue
cessful Christian minister. He oc'
cupies a respectable position; has
never been foisaken; has been
blessed in Basket and store" body
and soul, and has been the means Of
great blessing to Others, The be-
ginning of all this was the yielding
to a good impulse and giving up
what he believed to be wrong. Such
lesson needs no comment.-John

Little L.aurette was sitting beside

She combed her tresses of woudrous hair,
Strangely rnttered her BOSOM fair, pepe' o"''

Whoever had seen that little Laurette,
LOOKING so innocent. tender and sweet,
would have longed to have made her his own,
To lie at her fair young feet.
Ah! little Laurette, from your dream arise,
hou must be married tomorrow.
Married to one who loves you well,
whose wealth to your life will a glory be.

How happy they were. that girl and boy.

And he carried away a soft, bright curl

That London has nothing to do but to hail
The beauty of Lady We're.

WE sometimes hear it sneeringly
said: That mans father was boot
black; or that lady's mother was a
washerwoman. The sneers, of course,
are directed against those who are try
ing to make some figure in the world.
Would it not be well for US all to put
on the robes of humility? The an
cestry of the whole human family
were only savages. The ances-
trail beginning of every one of us was
hardly worth Dragging about, and what
is worse, we greatly fear. that our pos
terity thousand years from now will
be heartily ashamed of us.-Dr. Foote's $

DIR. G. A. Bucklin, in an article in
the Medical Record on the cause and
treatment of squint. expresses the opin-
ion that every squirting eye that is not
due to paralysis of muscle can be
Strengthened. In convergent squint the
use of one eye is usually lost; conse-
quently its earliest symptoms should
receive proper attention. DIR. Bucklin
has had the advantage of examining
over 200 cases Of squint, and illustrates
his text with few of the more inter-
esting ones to show the success that has
attended the treatment which he there
in recommends, that of tenotomy, or
division of the tendon of the abnormally
shortened muscle.

That ants can make themselves
heard as well as felt, is asserted by Mr..
S. Z. Peal, who writes to Nature that
he has observed in several varieties of
this insect the power of producing dis
tinctly audible sounds. Two kinds of
ants, one brown the other black in col
or, could be heard a distance of twenty
or thirty feet, the noise being produced
by scraping the horny apex of the abdo-
men three times in rapid succession
