A Severe Winter.

People living along the shore of
Lake Ontario, in Wayne and Oswego
counties, New York, state that this
has been the severest winter known
there since 1854. A survey of the ice
field on the lake at Sodus Point was
made on Monday. 1t covers greater
area than ever before known there.
There is almost solid ice for two miles
out from the shore, and for the first
time teams have been able to travel on
the ice, while Sodus Bay is almost
completely covered with ice of the av-
erage thickness of p feet. All en-
frances to the harbor are frozen fast
and are covered by huge drifts of
snow. The view of the ice and snow
upon the lake and bay is one of unus-
ual grandeur, and the scene is visited
by scores of people daily.-7renton

The Greek Idea of Death.

A writer in Macmilan's Magazine
says Greek peasant looks upon death
quite differently from what a peasant
of the Western world is taught to be-
lieve. To him it is the end of all joy
and gladness; the songs over his body
(myriologues) speak of the black
earth, the end of light and brilliancy.
A popular Klephtic song on the death
of Zedros. when read by the side of
Sophocles' description of the death of
Ajax, shows how curiously alike are
the ideas of death as painted in the
two poems. Charon is still believed
to be white haired old man with long
and fearful nails, and in myriologues
or lamentations, which are still Of
everyday occurrence in the islands,
you actually hear of Charon's caique.
He is now spoken of as Charos. In
some parts of Greece they still, it is
said, put money in the mouth of de-
ceased person to pay the passage. At
the funeral of child in mountain
village of NaXos wax cross was put
in the child's mouth by the priest, and
on inquiry the writer was told that it
was the freight money, so completely
has the Eastern church Incorporated
into itself the ancient idea.

The Ruby and the Diamond.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that large ruby is of more value than
a large diamond. Mr.. Streeter, who
wrote book about jewels, states that
"the ruby ranks for price and beauty
above all other stones. When per-
feet ruby of five carats is brought into
the market sum will be offered for it
ten times the price given for dia-
mond of the same weight; but should
it reach the weight of ten earats it is
almost invaluable" With respect to
the romance of precious stones the
author just quoted tells curious story
about sapphires. A native of India
loaded 100 goats with these gems, and
reached Simla after a ten days jour
ney. Arriving at Simla he tried to
dispose of them, but the value not be-
ing recognized he could not even OBJ
tain rupee a tolla for them, which
he would gladly have taken, being in
state OF semi-starvation. He then
proceeded to Delhi, where the jewel
ers, knowing them to be sapphlres,
gave him their full value. .-Ne,0 York

Reindeer Hunting.

One sport that amuses the Eskimo
boys very much would probably be
called in our language "relndeer
hunting" Having found long and
gentle slope on side hill, they place
along the bottom of the hill mum Der
of reindeer antlers, or, as we some
times incorrectly call them, deerhorns
(for you boys must not forget that the
antlers of a deer are not horns at all.
but bone). These antlers of the
reindeer are stuck upright in tho
snow, singly or in groups, in such a
manner that sled when well guided,
can be run between them without
knocking any of them down, the num-
Der of open spaces between the groups
being equal to at least the number of
sleds. The quantity of reindeer antlers
they can thus arrange will, of course,
depend upon their fathers success the
autumn before in reindeer hunting;
but there are nearly always enough
antlers to give two. or three, and
sometimes five or six, to each fearless
young coaster
The boys with their sleds, number
ing from four to six in fair-sized
village, gather on the top of the hill,
each boy having with him two or three
spears, or bow with as many arrows.
They start together, each boys object
being to knock down as many antlers
as possible and not be the first to
reach the bottom of the hill. You
can see that, in such a case. the slow
er they go when they are passing the
antlers the better. They must knock
over the antlers with their spears or
arrows only, as those thrown down by |
the sledge or with the bow or spear in
the hand do no not count. They be- |
gin to shoot their arrows and throw
their spears as soon as they can get |
within effective shooting distance; and,
sven after they have passed between
he rows of antlers, the more active
boys will turn around on their flying
leds and hurl back a spear or arrow
With sufficient force to bring down an
Intler.
When all have reached the bottom
# the hill, they return to the rows of
ntlers, where each boy picks out
hose he has rightfully captured. and

Chemistry as a Profession.

Chemists as q rule receive from one
thousand to twelve hundred dollars a
year. This seems small when we con-
slider to what expense young man
has been put to obtain, the necessary
education. Sometimes, however, in a
manufacturing house where he has
made himself particularly useful, a
chemist may receive eighteen hundyed
or two thousand dollars, and as super
tendent of works, he might get five
thousand or ten thousand dollars; but
such cases are very exceptional. One
reason why salaries are smaller in our
large cities is said to be found in the
number of competent chemists who
have come from Germany, and who are
willing to work for lower wages than
thier American brethren demand.
When a chemist has, after years of
study and long practice, thoroughly
qualified himself in his profession, he
can give what is called ''an expert
opinion This, as Sam Weller might
say, sis an opinion as is much more
valu'dle than an opinion as is not
expert" In lawsuit, for example,
chemists would be employed by both
sides, and an expert would receive
from fifty dollars a day to twenty-five
dollars an hour. II an expert exam
ined a mine, made a report on the
formation, and gave his views on the
likelihood of its paying the people who
intended to purchase it, he would be
paid perhaps five or six hundred dol
lars and all expenses. But, remember,
there are very few expert, and that
those enjoy that reputation have paid
the price of long-continued study, of
hard and enthusiastic labor, for the
they have made.-George j.
Manson, in 50. Nicholas for April.

Cheerfulness.

There are those who firmly believe
that to laugh would be breach of
manly or womanly dignity, and they
who entertain such an opinion, move
solemnly and sedately along the path
way of life, glanclng neither to the
right nor to the left, lest the eye might
behold something tending TO counter
balance the gravity which they be-
lieve to be truly essential to the pro-
per existence of a rational being.
Every tendency to mirth is suppress
ed, every craving for a relief from the
cares and sorrows of earth is looked
upon as unworthy and selfish, and the
unhappy victim lives on-a hermit in
the abodes of men-crushing the beau
tiful of life because they do not di-
rectly contribute to the sterner realities
of existence,-never gazing upon the
lovely cloud paintings which the sun
set throws in gorgeous colors upon
the dome of heaven, only looking up
ward when the shades of night have
mantled the face of beauty,-never
listening to the musical throated war
blers of the forest whose swelling me-
lodious notes are pealing forth their
praise and thankfulness, never for
moment drinking in the freshness of
green leaves and newly painted
emerald verdure in woodland and
dow,-breathing the air without
a thought of its purity and sweetness,
not caring to listen to Natures
thousand voices of melody, but NOV
ing automatically upon this earth, the
fairest of Gods creations, striving to
shut out all its brightness, all its
glory, all its beauty, everything but
its sadness, sorrow and decay.
On the other hand, word of eau
ton.
Life with all its charms has many
cares and trials. 1t has its storm as
we'll as its sunshine, its midnight as
well as its MONDAY, its dirge as well
as it's epithalamium. And, while we
should not give ourselves entirely
away to grief, neither should we do
SO to joy, remembering that the gold
en- means is most conducive to earth
ly happiness, as well as, for that pre-
paration for the future life that awaits
us all. Cultivate sunshine in the
heart, which ever gives a radiant pre-
sence, filling our lives with peace. as
well as the lives of those around u.s.

A Remarkable River.

Endeavors were recently made tc
explore the remarkable River Reka,
which rises in the Austrian Province
of Carniola and disappears in series
of caves known as the Karst Caverns.
At spot some twenty miles distant a
stream called the Timavo pours out of
hillside, and there is reason to be-
leve that this is identical with the
Reka, which thus flows twenty miles
underground. The party engaged in
the recent explorations followed the
subterranean course of the Reka about
one furlong, and passed six waterfalls,
until they reached a seventh fall,
which 1t was impossible to get over
without the construction of special ap
paratus, as the river has no bank at
that point. The explorers employed
the magnesium light to illuminate the
dark course of the stream. Ono of
the caverns through which it runs is
large enough and lofty enough to hold
