Rosewood trees are found in South

a dozen kinds. The name is not taken
from the color of the wood, as is
generally supposed, but by reason of
a rose-like fragrance which it possess

grow so large that planks four feet
broad and ten feet in length can be cut
from them. The broad planks are
principally used to make tops for

IN NORWAY.
A Landscape at Once Graad and
O. .Esfe

Grille
We found ourselves anchored In a
landlocked bay which | will call for
convenience sake Braysdal. There
are fifty Bruysdals in Norway. and
this is not one of them. That is all
which need say. 1t forms the head
of a deep inlet, we'll stocked with
dabs and paddock, and whiting and
wolf-fish, and other monsters. The
landscape is at once grand and gen
tie; mighty snowcapped mountains
cleft into gorges so deep and dark
that the sun, save in the height of
summer, can never look into them.
while on the immediate shores rich
meadow land and grassy undulating
hills stretch along the ford for miles,
and from the estate of prosperous
bender, who rules paternally over his
mountain valley, river runs in near
our anchorage, which, after leaving a
lake half mile from the sea, winds
down with an overlooking stream
through heathery pine-clad slopes
and grassy levels covered with wild
roses and bilberries. The cuckoos
were calling Ia the woods as we came
UP. widgeon and wild duck were
teaching their young broods to take
care of themselves; oyster-catchers
flew to and fro-they have no fear of
men in place where no one cares to
hurt them. Boats with timber were
passing down the river to a saw mill
opposite the mouth. The lake cut of
which it flows is two miles long, and
ends in a solitary glen, closed in by
preci pices at the head and on Ell. err
side. There was beauty here and
grandeur, food of all kinds, from
mutton to bilberries, now ripe and as
large as grapes. Above all, we knew
by past experience that sea trout
swarmed in the lake and trout in the
river. The bonder's acquaintance we
had made before, and the old man,
learning from the pilot who we were,
came Oh board at once with his son
and the sch Oolmastef to pay his re-
spects. He himself was hale and
stout, aged perhaps about sixty, with
dark hair, which as yet had no gray
streaks in it; IN manner very much
of a gentleman doing the honors OF
his country and his dominions with
rough dignity. His lake, his river,
all that he had, he gave us free use
of. The fish had not come up in any
number yet, but perhaps there might
be some. He accepted glass of wine,
being temperate, bat not severely alb
stemious. The younger ones touohed
nothing of that kind -to-tallers they
called themselves. They were two
fine-looking men, but without the
fathers geniality, and with a slight
tinge of self.righteousness. The in
terest of the moment was bear which
they had just killed among them,
having caught him committing muir
der among the sheep. As the Aocks
increase the bears multiply along
with them, and the shooting of one is
an event to be made much of. This
particular offenders head came home
with us, swinging in the rigging, and
looked so savage, grinning there, as
much to reduce the pleasure OF the
crew in going ashore among the bill
berries. Proud, in Longman's Mag
azine.
