n Happy Island.

In the southern Pacific is a little
island with 4 few surrounding islets
which, if all accounts are true. comes
as near to Moore's utopia" or BacOn's
New Atlantis as any place on earth,
says the Boston Globe. Norfolk island
comprises about s, 600 acres of land in
all, which are mainly divided up into
farms of fifty acres each, and every
newly-married couple gets one as a
wedding dowry. According to the re-
port of our consul the government OF
the island by powers granted by her
majesty is home rule, pure and simple,
and is vested in three oflicials-a chief
magistrate being responsible, and the
medium of communication with the
higher officials. The magistrates act
under commissions bearing the great
seal of the colony, ISSUED by the gov
crnor of New South Wales. who him
self holds a separate authority as gov
eruor of Norfolk island.
The governor has, in fact. unlimited
power, but holds a very mild sway, al
lowing the islanders to do very much
rs they like. SO long as they do not 90
too far. The laws are few and primi-
tive, and could he printed on two
sheets of fooiscap; nevertheless they
answer the purpose well, there being
no crime to speak of, nor any lookup
or need of one. There is no revenue
except few waits and strays in the
shape of few small fines, etc, which
seldom amount much, butisreSponsi-
BILE for the signal masters salary of
II los. $3.50 per annum, besides a
court-swoeper nj II, ($5). The chief
magistrates salary is 25i, but up to
last year it was only 12l; this, with the
emoluments paid TO the colonial sur
gcon, chaplain, register, and post
| master, is paid out Of the interest of a
fund in sydney which has been ac-
cumulating for some Years.
The imports include clothing, gro
ceries. agricultural implements. and
timber for building purposes; the ex-
ports. oil, wool, horses, sweet and Irish
potatoes, onions. bananas, and some
times sheep. The oil and wool 90

ter port taking besides sweet potatoes
and bananas. The importation of

absolutely prohibited; the law is strict

there are no duties, and consequently
no custom-house or any other record
kept. but the imports and exports to-

LIE on THE PLANET MARs.-nIs il.

LIFE on THE PLANET MARs.-"Is it,
however, evident that the inhabitants of
Mars constructed this strange geographi-
cal network of Canall" says Flammarion,
aud then he goes on: "This idea seems
to as more plausible than to attribute it
to Irrational nature, for there the effects
are generally irregular, above all in the
geological realm. Oceanic depressions,
continental reliefs, basins, valleys, noun
talus. the course of rivers, the conGgur-
atlofi of the shores, all assume TO our
eight irregular forms and rectilinear
shapes seem banished from natures op-
erations. This terrestrial aspect leads
US to believe that it is the same with all
the other worlds, aud we refuse to think
that nature even inorganic, should act
differently there than it does on our
earth. Nevertheless it is not proved
that the geological forces everywhere act
the same way. The copdeusationS Of
the globe by cooling down through cen
tur!ss, the action Of the volcanic phen-
onlsnG, ETC., have considerably changed
the exterior of the earth.
'>5ome astronomers are inclined to take
these canals for streams, large and i'm
mease, like the Nile, the Danube, the
Mississippi, the ST. Lawrence. But riy-
ers begin with riyulets, on the SUBMITS
Of water sheds, their origin is derived
frot1 the rain showers descending the
valleys and gradually assuming lighter
shades, following their way till the mar
itime mouths. On Mars, these dark
lines, without exception, go from one
ocean to another, presenting the same
width throughout. But whatever the
view point from which to look at the fam
tastic geological system. the explanation
remains to be found. The observations
that have been made during the past
spring enable us to penetrate little fur,
ther into tie intimate knowledge of this
neighboring world. Ineontestable varia-
tioGs have been observed, and these can
only be attributed to inundations. -

Three Lively Old Ladies.

Sometimes, says Capt. Holland.
my wife and like TO see the old folk
that is. folk that are older than my
wife and l. We went out Thursday
and called on some of them The first
call was on the Fitch sisters. We've
always known them. They were pow
erful glad TO see us. They came out
to the door to welcome Us. They are
a pretty reasonably old family-pretty
reasonably old. The youngest is IS,
and the next is 80. and the Oldest is 80.
They have lived in the same town all
their lives, though it amt always had
the same name. They are master spry.
The one that's 80 did good washing
in the forenoon of the day we called,
and she was pretty lively. The oldest
sister recited one of Watts HYMNS to
us. but she sort of forgot the second
one she tried. We had nice call. y

Prince Bismarck is shaved every day
by his valet. After a light breakfast
Bismarck submits himself to the razor.
He is not patient under the operation,
but has refused TO wear a beard. His
valet, who is generally reticent regard
ing his master, recently made public a
curious fact. Bismarck's beard, I'M
like that of most men, grows more
rapidly in winter than in summer.
Just why this is the case is hard to
explain. The valet is inclined to think
natHre has so ordered it that he may
have an easy time in hot weather.

ELECTRICITY INSTEAD OF HANGING
After Jan. ] 1889, all persons convicted
OF murder and condemned to death in
New York will be executed by electricity
instead of hanging. No experiments
have been made, and no means have been
devised to apply electricity 50 that it
shall be absolutely certain as an agent of
death. 1t is known to all electricians
that force of even 1900 volts, aud an
alternating current at that, might pro.
0Ioe instant death in one case without
suffering, and intense agony, followed
by death, in another. The various de-
vices thus far suggested have come from
newspapers and magazines, and each
and every one Of them are open to some
objection.
DIR. J. Mount Bleyer, who was one of
the commission appointed to report on
the best method of executing Grimm
als," gave the matter q good deal of
study, and devised a method which he
believes is perfect, but which is really
open to the gravest objections. DR..
Bleyer's plan is to place the condemned
person in sort of hut, his bare feet
resting on a metal floor which connects
With one pole of the battery. An elect
rode coming through the roof Of the hut
and touching the doomed persons head
is connected with the other pole, and so
completes the circuit. Should the con-
demned person twist his head so as to
break the contact even the thousandth
part Of an inch the circuit would be in
complete, and life would be prolonged
as long as be remained III that position.

cepted authority on medical jurisprud-
ence, ''that unless the state gets to work
at once aud de7otes great deal of time
to experimentation, that the first execut--
ion by electricity will be q most distress

DRINKING RUSSIAN TEA.-A fine
looking gentleman holding Il whispered
conference with a restaurant waiter
attracted the attention of neighbor at
the same table the other day. With the
gentleman's dinner the waiter brought
to him cup of tea and half lemon.
The gentleman squeezed the lemon Juice
into MS tea and followed it with three
Jumps OF sugar. "Do you drink that
because you like it, =" asked the neigh bbor,
''or because you have to?' cit is Rus.
sian tea" was the answer. 81 began
drinking it because my doctor, who is
Russian, recommended it, and now J
have become as much of a slave to it as q
drunkard is to liquor. I was i'll last
spring. The doctor wOuld not let me

meals, and after supper | have it brought
