THE H0sPTr4BzE BELerlss.

The Belgians are the only hospitable people still remaining in Europe, and think nothing of asking perfect stran- ger to join their family circle in five minutes acquaintance. If, therefore, q traveller stops in any place where 6 we'd ding or christening is going on, it gener- ally depends on himself whether he will be one of the guests or not. Not long ago had gone to bed st Belgian inn, when heard Q resolute knocking at my chamber door, and some giggling as of some laughing girls outside. It was about Il 80 o'clock p. m., and I got up, much wondering what could be the mat ter.
 The landlord had sent his daughter and some Of her young friends to ask ii I would join a midn ght pilgrimage they were about to make to the shrine of a neighboring saint in fulfllment of a promise they had made to a deceased relative. l got UT, joined the party, and it was certainly the jolliest pilgrim age I ever saw or heard of We walked along some country roads by starlight, singing songs which were not of par ticularly saintly character, and when we had accomplished the object of our mission in quaint old chapel where the saint worshiped, We wandered out to a picturesque village and ate hot rolls and fresh butter with some excellent coffee.
 As we returned by rail in the early summer morning, the whole family seemed to have accepted me into theil connection, and treated me entirely a. one of themselves. The Duchy of Lux embourg is, if possible, still more pstri- archal in the manner of its people, and a man 1 know was invited by some people he had never seen before to pass E month at their chateau. What is per haps still stranger is that he went, was really well received, and that the i'm promptu acquaintance thus formed turned out to be mutually satisfactory. Belgium is now by far the cheapest place in Europe, except some of the re- mote parts of Italy; and in Belgium or in the Duchy of Luxembourg the fare iA everywhere excellent, while in Italy one may have to live on macaroni and toma- oes.-London 7Inlp8.

IN 1877 President Monroe was anx- ous to bring some Western man into his Cabinet as Attorney General. Finally, however, he gave the place to Mir. Wirt, of Virginia John Quincy Adams, then Secretary of State, attended the Cabinet meeting at which Mir. Monroe announced the decision he had reached, and has left this explanation in his diary:
 The President said that be should have been very desiroue of having Western gentleman in the Cabinet, but he could not see his way clear. He had taken great pains to inform himself, but he could not learn that there was any one lawyer in he Western country suitably qualified for the office. He had particularly inquired of Judge Todd, who had assured hun that there was no such suitably-qualifed per son. This, he said, was perfectly confidential, Graham said that he had inquired this morn ing of Mr. Clay, who had told him, also conf dentiaIly, the same thing-that there was nc lawyer in that country fit for the office of At torney General.

SHE FORGATE HIM.

One day beautiful woman was driv- ing in the Strand in very low and ele- gant coupe. The street was blocked for a moment, and the noble lady put her head out to urge her coachman to drive on. Just at the instant stalwart coal heaver was going by on the sidewalk, and, finding himself face to face with her, found no other method of express ing his admiration than to seize her face between his two hands and kiss her. The coal-heaver was arrested and taken before . magistrate, where, as may be supposed, the lady demanded his con ign punishment.

The production of steel in this coun- try has grown to greater proportions than is generally supposed. There are now seventy-three steel works in opera tion, against thirty in 1870, and the manufacturers of this article are greatly encouraged from the fact that steel is in many instances being used where iron was supposed to be the most desirable. The great durability of steel makes it the most economical despite the greater first cost, and the gain in the volume of consumption of steel has been greater in proportion than that of iron. The value of steel produce, therefore, promises at no distant day to largely exceed the same class of products of iron. Hereto fore it has been impossible to manufact- ure steel from pig-iron containing more than one-tenth of 1 per cent. of phos- phorus, but there is Q new process, which is creating considerable enthusi- asm in England and thls country, by which 1t is claimed that good steel can be made from pig-iron containing fully ? per cent of phosphorus. It is simple and cheap method, and, as it is patented invention, it is not made pub lie. The pig iron of this country is so largely charged with phosphorus that it has not been available for converting into steel, but, should this new dephos- phorizing method prove to be what is claimed for it, there will soon be wit messed great revolution in the business. There is no danger of the iron business suffering, because it will be necessary for the production of steel, and probably in much greater quantities than in the past. The price of steel may not be materially reduced at once, but decline at an early day is highly probable; and as the article is cheapened the uses for it will increase. Steel rails for railroads will become more generally used. Steel plates for steam-boilers, steel water and gns-pipes, steel hulls for sailing and steam-vessels, and numerous other ar ticles, will be largely manufactured to take the place of iron. The difference in the weight of iron and steel will also make the latter the most desirable ar ticle. Cincinnati Enquirer.

 Where rarest inidaens tend the bowers, Aaid'only fed by rain &aa dew
 Which Arst had bafhed bank of flowers. They musthAve hung on spicy trees, Idnirs of Tar enchanted vales, And al night heard the ecstasies
 Of noble-throated nightingaies So that the virtues that belong
 To flowers may therein tasted be, And that which hath been thrilled with song May give thrill of song to me- For would wake that string for thee whathath too long in silence hung; And sweeter than all else should be
 The song which in thy praise is sung. T. BteaaHen Read.

4 BIG TOT FAoIORK.

The largest toy factory in the world IS in New York, where playthings in tin are manufactured literally by the million. It stands five stories high, and turns out 1907 distinct varieties of tin toys. No. 1 is tin horse, No. 1907 tin menag- erie. The output of circular tin whis- ties is 12, ,OO0,0O0 per annum. Every thing is made in the establishment ex- cepting wheels, which are ordered in lots of thirty tons at time from foun- dry iu the East. Two hundred men, women and boys are constantly employed in toy-making. To make tin horse twelve inches long, dies have to be cast, costing $500. Toys are exported from New York to all parts of the world. The children of different countries have diff ferent tastes. The passion of the young Brazilian is for Q toy water-cart, while in the States the rage of the American | boy is for tin horns and putty-blowers Tin swords are wanted all over the world, the military instinct being as universal in the nurseries as in the courts and cabmets of the world.
 NO AMMUNITICN WASTED.
 While we were crossing the State of Mississippi on the Meridian raid in Feb ruary, 1864, there was much indiscrim- mate firing, as the men were going into camp at night, so much that Gen. Smith issued an orGer that it must cease; that "no ammunition must be wasted" The next evening, as we were dismounting from our horses, a gun was fired very near us. The General at once sent a soldier to find and bring to him the cul- prit. In a few minutes he returned, bringing a boy IS or 19 years old, who looked half frightened to death. He had probably never been so near Gen eral before. He looked so dejected and woe-begone that the Generals sympathy for him was aroused at once, but he said, sternly: "Did you fire that gun?' "Yes, sir" "Had you not heard my order that no ammunition was to bC wasted?" "Yes, sir" "Then why did you disobey? What did you shoo at?" GA pig" in trembling voice "Did you kill the pig?" "Yes, sir. "Then you did not waste your ammu milton, did you?" The boy ventured t look up; he saw something i'll the Gen erals face which gave him courage t
 say: "No, sir" "Then go to you company and never let me hear of you

AT hanSOOn, III Durman, recently, III one of the most populous quarters of the town, a tiger was killed in broad day light. The brute had been hanging about Dallah, the struggling village on the other side of the river from Ran goon, for several days, and early one morning swan across the river to Ran goon. Tagged with the long mile through a swift current, and no doubt astonished at the number of people he came across, he ensconced himself be- meath a house. The District Superin- tendent of Police heard of the arrival, and, armed with Winchester repeating rife, went down with another English man in the direction pointed out. They came upon the tiger rather unexpected ly. Entering one of the houses on the river bank, they all of a sudden discov- cred the animal only few inches below them, with nothing but the scant pro- lection of an open bamboo foorwork be- tween them and him. A bullet be.ween the shoulders, however dropped him before any harm could be done, and 8 couple more shots made thiugs sure.

MAGNETIC sTORMs.

Remembering the influence which the sun has been found to exercise upon the magnetic needle, the question will naturally arise, Has the sun anything to do with magnetic storms? We have clear evidence that he has. On the 1st of September, 1859, Messrs. Darlington and Hodgson were observing the sun, one at Oxford and the other in London. Their scrutiny was directed to certain large spots which at that time marked the suns face. Suddenly bright light was seen by each observer to break out on the suns surface and to travel, slowly in appearance, but in reality at the rate of about 1000 miles in @ minute, across part of the solar disk. Now it was found afterward that the self-registering magnetic instruments at Kew had made at that very instant a strongly-marked jerk. It was learned at that moment a magnetic storm prevailed at the West Indies, in South America, and in Aus tralia. The signal-men in the telegraph stations at Washington and Philadelphia received strong electric shocks the pen of Bain's telegraph was followed by a flame of fire and in Norway the tele- graphic machinery was set on fire. Al night great auroras were seen in both hemispheres. It is impossible not tC connect these startling magnetic indica- tions with the remarkable appearance observed upon the suns disk.-Prof Proctor.

While they are putting up in New York very costly houses, with most elab- crate interiors, there is no city in the country with such effective brick archi- lecture ss Washington in the new West End part Instead of promenading on Pennsylvania avenue on Sundays, as was the old rule, the people now walk in great stream every Sunday afternoon out on Farragut Square, on which stands the ugly white house built by Stewart, of Nevada. There, it is thought, will be put up the statue of Admiral Dupont. From this point back eastward along Massachusetts avenue the promenade continues, passing the equestrian statues of Scott and Thomas, and then returns along Vermont avenue to the statues of McPherson and Jackson. In this walk there are as many agreeable buildings of Il new pattern as can be found anywhere in the world.
 Anumber of architects moved to Wash ington after the improvement of the streets, and the eheapness of brick here, many of which are made by machine, has led to the very remarkable revival in brick architecture. The acute angles at which the avenues and streets meet has led to ingenious devices to fit the houses into such lots, and they consequently present an appearance of broken gables, pavilions, projections, verandas, over. hanging gables, etc., most agreeable to see. Some of these houses are built by army and navy officers who have married rich wives. Not infrequently navy ol army officer, who is of rich family, hal plenty of means himself.
