ICELANDIC FARaf-HOUSES.

The farm-houses Bae) differ mate
rally from those of the town, being
built of lava blocks, with a turf cover
ing for the roof, secured by fiat stones
to prevent displacement during the vio-
lent winter storms. A bae is about
twelve feet in width by twenty in length,
but the larger ones comprise several of
these buildings joined together, then
including out-houses for the storage of
cattle, fodder, fuel and produce. The
low entrance at the gable extends
through the length of the building, ter
minating at the kitchen, where raised
hearth, about three feet high, supplies
all the artificial heat. The chimney,
simply hole in the roof, allows part of
the smoke to escape and admits few
rays of light to that end of the build
ing. Alongside the fireplace the unfort-
unate chickens roost and the store of
peat and the few culinary utensils occu-
py the remainder of the limited space.
On either side of the passage-way there
are generally two rooms, one side being
used for storage purposes, the other for
sleeping apartment. These rooms have
bed or bunk on each side, raised
about two feet above the hard ground
floor, each bunk accommodating several
persons. A hole cut through the wall,
opposite the only window and stopped
by plug, is intended for ventilation,
but they told rs that it is seldom used,
the great desideratum being heat a. the
smallest expenditure OF fuel. What
these hEts must be when the drifting
snow compels the occupants to close all
the openings, and The sitting smoke,
such smoke as only peat c,n make,
combines with the odors OF live stock
and dried fish, may better be imagined
than experienced. Turf, the only fuel,
is dug in al parts of the surrounding
lowlands, sometimes from the surface,
but often IRON depth of ten or twelve
feet, evidenced by the deep pits along the
roadside.

HEMOPITILxA.

H@mophilia is very learned looking
word, and as it should do it bespeaks a
disease of which we know very little.
The malady which from time to time SO
unhappily incapacitates Fl. r. Fl. Prince
Leopold, is one which most unprofes-
slonal people think to be due to some
abnormal condition of the skin. A per-
son who bleeds easily is said to have
only one skin in place of the proper
number, which it must puzzle many to
tell 1t is not, however, any such maj
formation, but what it is is much less
certain. Such persons bleed easily
from not only the skin when wounded,
but from the gums and mouth and mu-
cous membranes. They also bruise
easily, and in the same way it is prob
able that the troubles in the joints from
which they suffer are to be explained
by supposing some slight injury to the
synovlal membrane, and a subsequent
escape OF Huld to the cavity OF the joint.
We do not know what is the malforma-
ton or disease which predisposes to
such an easy escape of the blood from
its proper channels. The chemical oon-
stitution of the blood has been thought
by some to be at fault, the smaller
blood-vessels by others; but no chemi-
cal or microscopical Investigations that
have been conducted as yet have been
anything but contradictory, and there
fore have been without result. One
curious fact, however, has been elected
from various observations that have
been made, and this is that it has been
hereditary to marked degree, and that
it is transmitted along the male much
oftener than along the female line

THE MEXTC4N BURRO.

The Mexican burro, the ass Of the
scripture, seen everywhere here, is an
animal worth studying. He can carry
a load bigger than himself, and his en-
durance is amazing. His gait is sort
Of trot Sometimes dozen OF more of
them move in procession, one behind
the other. The burden is tied on
"amidships," as a sailor would say, and
the driver, if he wants to ride,
jumps up astern. Frequently two men
mount one burro, and I saw one stag
gering along under two women and
child. They are nice. gentle creatures,
when you know them long and intimate
~, but they have no fancy for strangers,
and make no new acquaintances if they
can help it. They will hoist and buck
and kick if they don't know the party
on top of them, and unless the party
can hang on to nothing, for there are
no saddles or brides to cling to, he will
find himself sprawling on the ground,
and wondering where the blessed DON,
key has gone to.
The mule, a sort of step-brother of
the burro, is another interesting quad
ruped. He is bigger, stronger and
more vicious than the burro, has a wick.
ed disposition, an uncertain temper, is
entirely unreliable, and dead shot with
his heels if he can get within range. It
takes an expert to handle him. Hitch
ing him up is dangerous occupation.
Mules are employed on all the stage
lines, two being at the pole and four in
front. They will travel long distance
at nine miles an hour, but there is no
telling when they will take it into their
heads to Jump the trail and run away
over the prairies. It takes two drivers
to steer the stage. Nobody can ride g.

THE CRADLE OF THE THRr4h
WORLD.


Sir r: Temple read a most striking
paper before the British Association on
the cradle of the Tartar world, the gi-
gantic Asiatic plateau usually 1000 feet
high, which stretches from the Hima-
laya to the Altai and the mountain bor-
ders Of China, covers more than 2.OOO.-
600 square miles-two Indias-and is
walled out from civilization by mount
aims 10000 feet high Though partly
desert-as in that strange dried sea, the
Desert of Gobi-much more is still fer
tile, while there is reason to believe it
contains some of the richest mineral
districts in the world
No territory is so little known to
Europeans, yet probably from hence
came many of the tribes whose pressure
drove the barbarians upon Rome; while
in the tenth century its clans so in
creased in numbers and in kind of
civilization that in the thirteenth cent
ury Jenghiz Khan and his successors
ruled armies Of 100000 cavalry, threat
ened the whole world, and conquered it
from the Yellow sea to the Baltic. A

LOVE IN CHICAGO.

"Shall you miss me, Sweetheart?"
George W. Simpson was going away,
far away to the trackless solitudes of
st. Louis, and when he had told Daphne
Mccarthy of his intended journey the
girl had spoken not a word, but lain her
head gently on his shoulder and wept
as if her heart would break.
But when ne asked the question with
which this chapter opens, the little
head, with its coronal Of fuffy-brown
hair, had risen slowly, and the pansy-
brown eyes of the girl had looked into
his and cleaned with the holy light Of
q love that could never die.
Shall I miss you?" she cried despair
ingly. "Ah, yes, sorely enough. But
you cannot understand this. No man
can feel the loss OF kisses and love
words as a woman can, nor hate the
slow-creeping, wakeful nights, and the
gray dawns that come with no promise
OF strong arms and loving he ers and
words Of courage, and the windy sun
sets that die away on a day that has
held no beauty or brightness. No man
can feel the deadly hunger in time of
famine that woman feels when love
that always beckons and allures her is
out of reach Of her longing hands and
loving lips"
But I Shall not be gone so very long,
darling" whispered George, "and I
have told the candy man to let you have
whatever you want on my account"
"You have done this ?" asks the girl,
putting her dimpled arms around his
neck.
"Yes," was the reply.
"Then," said Daphne, the wistful
look gone from her face, "you cannot
so too soon" Chicago Tribune.

THE GREAT WALL OF CB1yA.

1t runs from point on the Gulf of
Liantung, an arm of the Gulf of Pechi1i
in Northeastern China, westerly to the
Yellow river, thence makes a great
bend to the south for nearly 100 miles,
and then runs to the northwest for sew
eral hundred miles to the Desert of Cobb.
Its length is variously estimated to be
from 1850 to 1,5O0 miles. For the
most Of this distance it runs through a
mountainous country, keeping on the
ridges, and winding over many of the
highest peaks. In some places it is
only formidable rampant, but most of
the way it is composed of lofty walls of
masonry and concrete, or impacted lime
and clay, from twelve to sixteen feet in
thickness, and from fifteen to thirty or
thirty five feet in height. The top of
this wall is paved for hundreds of miles,
and crowned with crenallated battle
ments, and towers thirty to forty feet
high. In numerous places the wall
climbs such steep declivities that its
top ascends from height to height in
flights of granite steps. An army could
march on the top of the wall for weeks
and even months, moving in some places
ten men abreast.

BFLsTH OF THE MOON.

At present, no doubt, the effect of the
tides In changing the length of the day
Is very small, writes Prof. Ball in Nat
"re. A day now is not apparently long
er than a day a hundred years ago.
Even In thousand years the change in
the length of the day is only the fraction
of a second. But the Importance of the
change arises from the fact that the
change, slow though it is, lies always in
one direction. The day is continually
increasing. In millions of years the ac-
cumulated effect becomes not only ap-
preclable but even of startling magni-
tude. The change in the length of the
day must involve corresponding change
IN the motion of the moon. This is by
no means obvious. 1t depends upon an
elaborate mathematical theorem. I can
not attempt to prove this for you, but
think [ can state the result so that it can
be understood without the proof. If the
moon acts on the earth and retards the
rotation OF the earth, so, conversely,
does the earth react upon the moon.

THEY TURNED Il RULE.

Less than three months ago a wreck
of a man staggered into the Office of a
weeklypaper in Eastern Michigan and
asked for money to buy whisky.
Strangely enough the publisher was an
old schoolmate. They were boys to-
gether. They were apprentices in the
same town. They worked side by side
as finished compositors. One had So
briefly and thrift other had a good
heart and an open hand. Twenty years
made the one rich and influential the
other drunkard who slept in the gut
ter as often as in bed. The one had
made use of what God had given him,
but the other had deliberately made
himself wreck.
The meeting called up host of rec
elections, and the contrast between
their situations was so great that the
old drunkard was sobered as he realized
it. He was offered work, but he had
become too broken. The stick and the
rule were no longer for him. He was
offered a temporary home, but he looked
at his rags and felt his shame for the
first time in months. When money was
handed him he waved it back and said
"I shall not want it. I ask, in the
anne of olden days and as fellow
craftsman, one little favor"
"It shall be granted"
"When you know that am dead then
turn a rule for me and give me single
line"
The promise was made and the cid
wreck foated out again on the current
of life, borne here and there and feeling
that death was to be the end. Yesterday
