Nothing New Under the sun.

As we wander through the houses o.
where the paintings are YET
bright on the walls, and We may wall
around the gardens and see the dried.
up fountains-one seems to hear all the
book of Revelation sounding in ones
ears, and a voice saying: Behold l
make all things new!'
In the deserted streets life suddenly
stopped l $50 years ago. 1t Is true
that the destruction was not instan-
taneous, and great many Of the in
haDitants saved their lives, and even
took away a good deal of til II treasure.
But enough was left to show us every
detail OF Roman life. The old world
is set before us, with all its and It's evils,
its glories and its soames. We know
what manner of men and women they
must have been, and what their daily
lives were like, almost as well as if We
had actually dwelt among them.
Those old Pompeiians were very
modern. Tnere Is nothing new under
the sun. They had folding doors and
hot water urns; they put gratings to
their windows and made rockeries IN
their gardens; their steel-yards are ex-
actIy like those your cheesemonger uses
to weigh hIs Cheddars and Glosters.
Their children had toys like ours
bears, hons, pigs, cats, dogs, made OF
clay, and sometimes serving as jugs
alsJ. Poor childrenl Poor mothersl
How did they fare IN those days OF
darkness and dlsmay?
People wrote on walls and cut their
names on seats, Just the same as we do
now. They kept birds in cages. In
Naples to-day. as walk along the Chials,
you may find yourself In the midst OF u
nerd Oh goats, with bells around their
necks, exactly like those in the Museum.
They give tokens at the doors of their
places of eLtertalnment-thep people in
the gallery hac pigeons made of sorl
of terra Gotta. Iney put lamps inside
the hollow eyes of the masks that
adorned their fountains. They even
made grottos of shells-vulgarity itself
is ancient.
TLey ate sausages and hung up
strings of onions. They had STANDS for
pubic vehicles, ami the schoolmaster
used a birch TO the ounces. They put
stepplng-stones across the roads, that
tie dainty young patrician gentlemen
and prusy old senators might not soil
their gilaed sandals. 1t was never cold
enough tor the pipes to burst, but they
turned their wafer on and off with taps,
and their cook-shops had marble count
ers. They clspped their offenders into
the stocks-two giadiators kept there
for 800 years.
When the crockery broke they riyited
it. At Herculaneum there is huge
wine jar buried III the ear,h. Ii has
been badly broken, but is so neatly
invited, with many rivits, that it no
doubt held the vine as well as ever;
those rivlrs have lasted ], 800 years. 1t
is strange thing to think about. What
would the housewife have said If some
one had told her that her cracked pot
would out last the Roman Empire?

A NEW CURE FOR BURNs.-lt has been
ascertained that the very best remedy
for burns and scalds is the application
of common cooking soda or any other
alkali in q neutral fo,m, which will at
ford instantane GUS cessation from pain.
In all cases of superfcisl burning this
simple treatment will effect a perfect
cure III few hours, and the severest
burns and scalds soon yield to it. At
a recent meeting of the Massachusetts
Dental society in Salem, Dr. Waters,
of Boston. gave practical demonstra-
ton OF this theory by a test that re-
quired considerable nerve aud more
faith in the efficacy of the treatment to
put into operation. The doctor dipped
sponge INTO boiling water and
squeezed it over his wrist, the water
flowing around the arm and encircling
1t with a severe scald two inches wide.
Not content with this he dipped the
sponge a second time and pressed clos
ely on the under side of his wrist for
u half minute, thus making a deep
burn. He then applied bi-carbonate OF
soda and laid over 1t q wet cloth, and
the intense pain was banashed as by
magic. Next day the scalds, with the
exception of the part purposely made
SO severe, were practically healed, only
a light discoloration of the skin show
ing where the water had flowed /;
this, too, without a second applica ion
of soda

Shetland Ponies

| Shetland is rather remote corner OF
the world. and should not wonder il
the msjority of boys know little about
of Odin, the old Scandinavian god.
Well, it Is supposed that when lie and
his followers travelled up from the CIu-
casian Mountains northward to Nor
way and Sweden, they took with them
number of small Cossack horses, and
that some of these found their way to
Shetland, for the Shetland ponies very
closely resemble tn, small horses of
certain parts of Norway.
Shetland ponies are chiefly remarka-
BILE for their small size aud their wonder
ful pluck, strength and hardness. In
his native home a Shetland pony rarely
has the snug quartersbe usually finds
when he Is taken south and becomes
| the rlding-horse of some little girl or
boy.
He has frequently to endure cold,
hunger and exposure OF all kinds In q
bleak and cherries country. He has
need, therefore. for his rough, shaggy
coat and his hardy little frame. They
enable him to endure privation and
hardship which would speedily over
come animals that are much lar er and
stronger III appearance.
Almost every family IN Shetland
owns two, three or more ponies, which
are used for all kinds OF draught and
carriage, for bringing in the farm pro-
duce-corn, hay, potatoes and the rest
AS well as for riding. Ha Shetlander
has no cart he sings couple of wicker
baskets over his pony's back, in which
basket he places his marketing, or his
load of peat, or clods of dried turf,
which form SO large part of his winter
fuel.
We call these little animals ponies,
and rightly, but the Shetlander always
speak of Them as horses, for the reason,
l suppose, that they are almost the
only horses they know. They are often
great pets in the family. A writer on
Shetland, a native of the island, III
speaking of the ponies, says: "All
sorts OF pretty and uncommon names
are chosen tor them. Some of them
develop a great fondness for sweet
meats, for which they will seek the
hand that carresses them. One of these
animals, when on journey, will every
quarter of an hour or so turn his head
round to his rider, seeking the bit OF
biscuit which is always provided for
him"
Altogether the Shetlanders would Cd
very badly without their sturdy, useful
little horses. and when the ponies are
taken far south 10 England, or to
countries much farther away still. their
value by no means dimipishes. They
lind homes among the rich OF the lana,
become the pets on many a home farm
and country house, and boys and girls,
whatever their condition or circum-
aDces, think themselves fortunate In
possessing Sheatland pony.
