An anccdote of the engagement of
Henry Irving in this city, although late
in coming to hand, is well worth tell
ing. During the first performance of
Louis Xl," lady found herself
seated next to a party of intensely typ
ical Boston girls. who observed the
development of the play with that re-
served, serene and critical aspect for
which their class is noted. The lady
was more enthusiastic than they, and
at various fine points which the actor
made was not chary of applause. At
last, when particularly strong situa-
ton had been met and mastered, she
exclaimed, sotto voice:
.'Ah, he is, indeed, great y
The three young women who sat be-
side her Immediately put up their eve
glasses and looked at her in a quiet
but superior way, and the nearest of
the party. in calm and very distinct
voice said:
Pardon me, but l have not yet ex-
perienced any thrill"
Afterward, in relating the incident
the lady said (: al had 10 my dress at
tho time long shawl-pin, and 1 was
awfully tempted to jab it into the cold
creatures arm, 10 see il she could feel
any thrill ut that. ~ Boston Journal.

Salt.

Salt is the only mineral substance
required by man and the higher order
of animals as all article of food. 1t is
found in some form in nearly all parts
of the world. and is generally obtained
| with but little trouble. 1t is found in
solid state in mines, and in liquid
state in the ocean, salt lakes, and
springs. When Liquid, it is necessary
TO evaporate the fresh water in order
to get the salt. This is done in three
ways; by the heat of the sun, by boil
ing, and by freezing the water. The
water from the ocean in tropical coun-
tries is generally allowed to stand in
shallow basins and evaporate by the
heat of the sun. Tho water from lakes
and springs is usually evaporated by
boiling, or by artificial heat under
shallow pans. In extremely cold
countries the water is frozen; the ice
formed is perfectly fresh, and the I'M
frozen water, beneath, strong brine,
which is evaporated by boiling.
Salt is also mined. One of the most
famous salt mines is in Wreliezka, a
small town in Austrian Galicia. 1t has
about 5000 inhabitants, and they are
nearly all employed in the mine. The
town is entirely undermined by the
excavations made by cutting out tho
blocks of salt. In this mine are four
stories, one under another. In the
second story is salt lake $50 feet long
and forty feet deep, across which visit
ors are rowed; they then go story
below, and the lake is over their heads.
In one of the chambers the miners have
hewn out chapel from the solid salt,
and have ornamented it with pulpit,
statue, obelisks, and columns from the
same material. 1t is dedicated to St.
Anthony. Sometimes, members of the
royal family visit the mines, and on
such occasions the miners illuminate
the chapel with candles and torches,
and the effect is exceedingly beautiful.
Spain, also, has a remarkable salt
mine. A hill covering three-fourths of
square mile is composed of layers of
salt. gypsum, and clay, about seven
eighths of it being pure salt. The salt
is of three varieties; the first and rarest
consists of large, clear masses, which
can be split into cubes eight inches
square. 1t is mined by the use of the
pick and also by Blasting.
4he uses 10 Whieh SAT- Is put are
numerous and Important. 1t enters
largely into most kinds of food. 1t is
used to preserve meats and fish, for
agricultural purposes, and in mechani-
cal operations, particularly in making
soda. France alone uses $4,000 tons
annually. and the city of GLASGOW II. 900
tons, in the manufacture of soda. 1t
is also given to horses, cattle. and
sheep, and they will not thrive well
without it.-JOurMdk Of Education

But here the conversation was stop
ped by the loud clamor of the bell, and
soon all were assembled in the school
room, listening in breathless silence to
the announcement of the fortunate
winners.
One by one the prizes were given
out, Bert coming in for his share, and
Tom was made happy by prize for
arithmetic, a thing he was very good at;

Mr.. Selton looked smilingly around.
II am very pleased with the essays l
received, they were all better than l
expected. But the most beautifully
written was Sidney Lennox's. | have
great pleasure in handing him his first,
but, hope, not the last prize"
And amidst loud cheer from the
boys, he placed in Sidney's hands a
handsomely bound book-a volume of
poems.
Lennox flushed and thanked his
master. and from that day he became
one of the most earnest workers; not
even Bert can find fault with him now,
| or say he is always idle.
