LamDS Of AnpaJs.

The author of "Camp-Lifc on the
Satpura Range" relates this conversation
which he had with an English friend of
his and a Mohammedan native of India.
1t is interesting as shown the superstition
of the Hindoos and the poetic character
of their fancy: )
AS we neared the camp a most bcauti-
full meteor sailed slowly down from the
starry sky, like a ball of fire, which di-
vided and fell in a fiery stream. All
present looked at it with silent astonish-
ment for a few seconds, then 1 laugh
ingly turned and said to Nussccr
Khan:
Gone of the angels has dropped his
lamp, eh, Nusscer Khan?"
"It must be so, my lord who
knows2"
Seeing my friend somewhat puzzled at
the remarks, I explained that tho Mo-
hammcdans have an idea that the stars
are the lamps of the angels guarding the
gates OF heaven, and that a shooting star
is a lamp carelessly dropped.
"The idea is pretty" he rejoined,
''but surely they are not SO ignorant in
these days as to believe itq'
"Why note The lower classes in more
civilized countries believe things quite
as absurd. OF course, the educated
Hindoos know better, but the illiterate
believe anything that is put into their
hcads.n

A French Flower Form.

There is on tho maritime foothills, in
the department of Var, a flower farm of
about seventeen acres, belonging to Nine.
dc Rostalng. 1t is about 9, 900 feet above
the level of the Mediterranean, and per-
haps twenty miles from the coast. The
calcarcous soil was naturally thin and
poor, and the olive trees which had
occupied the ground for a century
or more previous to 1881, yielded
but scanty and unsatisfactory re-
turns, and tho land was regard.
ed as practically worthless. In 1881 the
proprictress caused the ground 10 be
cleared and prepared for flower culture.
1t was dug to the depth of four feet, and
the larger stones removed. In the
autumn of 1881, as, 900 tufts of ~violcts,
and 40, 900 roots of the white jasmine
were planted. The following spring the
remainder Of the ground was planted
with roses, gcraniums, tubcroses, and
jonquils, and a laboratory erected for tho
manufacture of perfumes. The location
proved to have been we'll chosen, the
flower plants grew vigorously and strong,
and in 1885 thc fourth year after plant
ing) the flower farm of Scillans, which
had previously yielded a rental of $115 n
year, produced (according to the state
ment OF the proprietress) perfumes valued
at $43, 154, and giving a net profit of

The Beei.E tiers Of The World.

If there were any soundncss in the sta

to be an economist Of great repute, and
who is certainly an industrious compile,
OF figures, the English people can no
longer boast to be, or be jcered at as
being, the greatest beef-eaters in the
world. According to the economists
computation, the annual consumption of
beef in Europe amounts to 45 pounds per
head of the population in a year. The
Australians consume $50 pounds a man,
and the Americans 1870 pounds, while
the other great continent of Argentine.
(from which Mr.. Lamas hails) eats level
with Australia. At his rate there must
be a very great number of people in the
world who get along without eating beef
at all. But the calculations are based on
n which is yet more extraordinary
namely, that or the whole globe the total

There are fashions in tombstoncs, but
they change slowly. The styles of the
present do not differ much from those of
twenty years ago, but a difference is
noticed in those set up fifty or more
years ago. There were never columns
in those days. As now, the cheaper
stones were plain slabs. One of the ex-
pensivc shapes, which always marked n
distinguished grave, was a marble slab
laid horizontally on four marble columns.
making a sort of a table. The inscrip.
ton was carved on the top, which al
lowed plenty of space for verses, which
no wen regulated gravestone of the first
part of the century could do without.
These verses, which read SO quantity now,
were always written by the pastor. 1t was
his duty when n of his parishioners
died to compose suitable stanza, and
the ministers were always paid for them
"a thing that few periodicals even O
those days would have done. In olden
times nothing but brownstone and
sandstone was used. The carving was
crude, and one of the requirements of
fashion was that every slab should have
q human face carved over the inscrip-
ton. The stylish gravestone to have
