CORAL.
The Variety That Is Found in the Medi-
terranean Sea.

The Variety That Is Found in the Medi-
terranean Sea.
The British Consul at Leghorn in his
report for the past year makes some in
teresting observations on coral in the
Mediterranean. Some centuries back
the Mediterranean coral fisheries were
carried on exclusively by the Spaniards,
and the principal establishments ell
gagged in the manufacture OF the coral
ornaments We're in the hands of Jews
residing in Spain. Toward the close OF
the sixteenth century, to escape the per-
secutions TO which they were exposed, q
large number OF these merchants re-
moved to Leghorn, in order to enjoy the
actmcnts of Ferdinand de Medici. Crews
were obtained from the Neapolitan
coast, principally from Tore del Greco;
hence this place at an early period be-
came the chief seat of the coral fishery,
and most of the boats engaged in it are
still fitted out at that port, although the
manufacture of coral ornaments and
beads is carried on principally at Leg
horn and Genoa. These ornaments are
met with in almost every part of the
world, and in many countries, ever in
Europe, coral is believed to be pos
sessed of q peculiar charm. In Asia
and Africa it is regarded with q sort ,
religious vcncration, while in India it is
largely used for the adornment Of
corpses when prepared for cremation.
But the present situation Of the coral
trade is disastrous. In 1880 a coral
bank several ,kilometcrs in length was
discovered neal the island of Sciacca,
on the coast of Sicily, and consequently
the yield OF raw material has been far
in excess Of the demand, and the reef is
still very far from being exhausted. A
great depreciation in value has ensued,
and as 81 consequence an extensive trade
has sprung up in coral with Africa.
where the natives now purchase coral
ornaments in place Of glass beads Of
Venetian and German manufacture.
The raw coral comes from Naples, and
is worked at Leghorn by women into
beads, British India and Egypt being
the chief customers for them.-Nuture.

Smiths head in her arms, so that it
WAS impossible 10 beat out his brains

leased some Indian prisoners. stating
that it was for the sake of Pocahonias.
He told his friends in Jamestown that
P%ocahontas had saved his life. In y
letter to Queen Anne he said he would
be guilty of the deadly poison OF in

Of Pocahontas. In several letters he

A STOLEN CHURCH..

now q Dispute Was Settled ard How the
Editce is Now Going to Ruin.
In the early part of last century Wick
lord and McSparren, two small towns
rear Newport, R. l., engaged in a quar-
rel over an Episcopal church building,
which was among the first edifces OF
the kind erected in New England. The
church was at McSparren, which had
been distanced in size and Importance
oy Wexford, and the latter determined,
after many stormy scenes in the yestry,
upon a species of coup d'etat.
The road from where the church was
located 70 Wexford was every rod of it
down hill, and, while it might prove a
comparatively easy matter to get the
house down there, it would prove literally
an uphill undertaking to get it back
again. Accordingly, one evening the
W~ickfnrdites mustered their forces, col
lected all the OK teams for miles around
and went up there. The house was quick
ly placed upon wheels, and while the resi-
dents of McSparren Hill were slumber-
ing quietly in their beds, their meetin o
house was on its way to Wexford.
Great was their establishment when they
looked towards their cherished house in
the morning to find naught but the
foundation walls remaining where the
house had stood at sunset the night be
tore. There was some very vigorous
language used, which was received by
the Wickfordites with all the com.
placency of men who were aware of the
fact of possession being nine points Of
the law, and of its being literally an up
hill job to get the house back again
where it started from. This was in the
year 1900, and the house has remained
on its present site ever since.
Some ten o twelve years ago the
corporation built q neat church eaifice
ON the main street of the village, with a
tower and a clock, and the old church
has not been used since. 1t has not,
however, ceased to be an object of pub
lie interest. 1t is visited every year by
hundreds of people from different parts
OF the country, many of whom have in
scribed their names in pencil on its
walls. The house is fast succumbing to
the ravages OF time. A gale of wind in
1869 denuded it Of its tower. Every
year its power of resistance is becoming
less, and unless something is done be-
fore long in the way of repairs this in
teresting relic will not be in a condition
to enter.-M Y. Mail and EGprcss.

Parts of Louisiana Where They Are Clear
ly a Necessity.
There is a railroad not a thousand
miles away from New Orleans which i.
covered with water nearly the entire
year; in fact, whenever a stiff shower Of
rain falls the road goes under. The
train-men have become so accustomed
to sliding through about two feet Of
water at the rate of eight or nine miles
an hour that they imagine they are
leading a sailors life, and when they
walk they swagger and roll from one
side to the other, and hitch up their
trousers at regular intervals, and use
nautical expressions when they converse
with each other.
Not long ago \ passenger boarded a
train on the road, and when the porter
came through the car he inquired how
long it took to reach his destination.
