THE METROPOLIS OF ICELAND.
sights and Sounds of Reyljavik-Build-
 inCs-Lines of Ponies.

Reykjavik, poor little metropolis of 2,OO0 inhabitants, has, nevertheless, its sights and sounds. Its houses, with but few exceptions of wood, consist usually of a single story, but in isolated instances rise to the dignity of two. Through the town runs wide and tolerably straight street, on1yhich live sev- eral of the dignitaries of the island, the bish- op, the governor, the chief justice, and other members of the government. Upon one side, surrounded by wooden palings, is the public square, in the center of which stands a bronze statue of ThorwaIdsen, presented by the Danish government to the native country of the sculptor. At the farther end is the little cathedral, which contains mar ble font, by the artist himself Around tho different sides of the square are grouped the new parliament honse, the postoffice and school for girls which draws it's pupils from all parts of the country.
 One of the most imposing buildings of the capital is the jail, and two of the most awe inspiring of the citizens are the policemen, who ill turn patrol the streets in felt helmets and uniforms It was not discovered, how ever, that they ever arrested anybody, be- cause nobody ever so far forgot themselves as to warrant arrest. The jail, consequently, is always empty, fact that can be but i'm perfectly understood when one sees it's mani fast superiority to all other dwellings, One of the policemen exercises, ill addition to his function of guardian of the public veal, that of librarian of the Icelandic Literary society, which was established as long ago as 1916, and has published many works He is also an author and has written at least one valua- ble book
 Tho streets of Reykjavill are unpaved, but at certain corners wide apart, stand lamp posts, whereon burn kerosene lamps to light the belated citizen to his door, One of the most characteristic of street signs is the long lines of ponies that almost continually come and go, bringing loads of dried fish, and car rylng back the necessaries of life; and almost all of life's necessary demands in Iceland must be supplied from without. Even the wood with which the houses are framed comes from Norway, and must be taken into the interior on the backs of horses. A ire quent sight is procession of ponies, each with board on either sde fastened at one end to the pack saddle, while the other end Is left to trail and bump along the uneven road. On pleasant mornings another kind of procession is often se9R. It is composed of women and girls, each with a wooden tub, and all going to the warm springs to do the household washing The water can be had at all temperatures, from boiling hot, where 1t bubbles up out of the earth, to tepid, fur ther down the little stream formed from the overflow. Dipping up tubful of hot water, the washerwoman puts her washing to soak, and then selects convenient place upon the bank near the waters edge, where she kneels and rubs and wrings piece by piece-Will- jam H. Carpenter in Atlantic Monthly

Bridal Veil and Flowers.

The bridal veil is of eastern origin, and among the Anglo-Saxons it was held over the heads of both bride and groom. The orange blossom is the emblem of purity and truth, although in some portions of France the bride is crowned with q myrtle wreath, which is transferred to her hand when she is blindfolded, and the bridesmaids dance about her while she seeks to place the wreath on one of their heads The one so crowned, it is said, will herself be bride within the following year. An cid superstition prevails to the effect that all pins used in fastening ths bridal veil and flowers must be thrown away or ill fortune will come to the bride. How many must have neglected to do this.- Chicago Herald.

The Postage on Newspapers.

Some people are under the impression that newspapers, no matter what their weight is, go for one cent each. This is not correct. The rate on newspapers and other publica- tions regularly entered as second class matter, when mailed as transient, is one cent for every four ounces or fraction thereof Others will wrap the paper so tightly that it will not slide out. Some fasten the wrapper to the paper with mucilage so it can not slide out. All matter except first class must be pre- pared to admit of easy and thorough exam ination.-Stamp Clerk in Globe Democrat

Utilizing the African Elephant.

In Petermann's Mitteilungen Herr J. Menges raises once moro the question of the possibility of utilizing the African elephant Herr Menges points out that there is strong evidence that the elephant was used in an- cient times in Africa, and asserts that no serious attempt has been made in modern times to subdue it to the uses of humanity He maintains that it is quite as docile as the Indian elephant and much stronger, and that if it could be really tanned and trained to work it would be of immense utility in the opening of Africa.-Boston Transcript.

The First Battle Photograph.

M. B. Brady, the Washington photog- rapher, was the first to take the camera on a battlefield in the late civil war. He pitched his tripod first at the battle of Bull Run, and he continued throughout the war to make these important pictures. The 'instanta- neous" process was not known in those days or we might have had photographs of the bullet and the bombshell lin motion."- Hsrnar'S RaZar.
