The=o is another thing about life in
London that struck me as sensible. At
the shop doors there are seats on one side
for the footmen. and opposite a bench
and a lady alights with her dog, The
footman closes the carriage door and the
vehicle drives off to make room for an
other. Then the footman takes her lady
ships canine pet and chains it to the
bench, while he seats himself on the
other. have seen as many as five pretty
little dogs fastened in this way, and so

Come out TO the side of the sea, my love.
Come out to the side of the sea;
The sun is set, and the stars are met,
And the winds and the waves agree;
But the star so bright nor wave SO light
Brings pleasure or peace to me.
o come, for / sit and wait, alone,
On the rocks by the side of the seal
am going down in my memory
To the blessed long ago,
When the golden ground OF the buttercupJ
Wa dashed with the daisies snow.
And I'm thinking of all you said to me,
And If it were true or no,
While l watch the tide as It runs away
From the beach so black and low.
II should die, my love, my sweet,
Die Of your smile ~forlorn,
Bury me here by the side of the sea,
Where all my joy was born.
Where the waves shall make my lullaby,
And the winds from night to morn
Shall say TO the rocks, He has gone to sleep
Where all his joy was born"

It is said that the Baluba negroes of
central Africa do not see any wrong in
selling their wives and children, but
make a distinction between domestic
slaves and slaves for export. A chief
who was expostulated with on the sub
ject said they only sold their troublesome
wives out of the country, never the good
ones. In n case, it is reported, a tribe
got tired of their chief, who was contin-
ually fighting with neighboring tribes,
and sold him into slavery.-Chicago

How We're the Pyramids BuIIt ,

The answer to this question is beyond
modern conjecture, so imperfect is our
understanding Of the extent of tbe
mechanical knowledge OF the ancients
Their appliances are believed 60 have
been OF the simplest order, aud the i'm
plements exceedingly crude. and vet
they were able TO convey these enormous
blocks Of stone for vast distances over
routes most difficult: and. having ac.
compllshed this, to raise them TO great
height and fit them in place without
the aid OF either cement or mortar TO
cover up the errors OF the stonecutter
How all this was done is one of the
enigmas Of modern science. II has been
generally believed that inclined plapes
OF earth were used 20 enable the work
men to raise the huge stones TO their
places, the earth being cleared away
afterward. But IL is possible that fhe
ancients had a moro extended KNOWLEDGE
Of mechanical powers than we usually
give them credit for, and that they made
use Of the machinery very like that
employed by moderns for lifting great
weights. Large cavities arc found in
some Of the stones in the Pyramids which
may have been worn by tho foot of n
derrick turning in them. That there
were enormous numbers OF men employed
IN the building Of these ancient structures
IS well known. These results Of their
great aggregated strength VIC sec. but
they left no record OF the means by which
this strength was focused and brought
most eitectually TO bear on their mighty
tasks. .-- Ir0otC SUpply Ners.
