A Winter in iceland.

Although the climate of South Iceland
is cold, tho winter is scarcely what one
would be led to expect from the northern
situation. There Is not much snow. A
few inches usually lay upon the ground,
crisp and hard, but not the piled up drifts
of New England winter. Accordingly
it was possible to make horseback excur-
sions to the farms round about, and to
see the winter LIE of the people in the
country. This season for tho 1ceiander
is time Of comparative rest. AS nothing
can be done abroad he stays Of necessity
ut home, but his life is no mere hiberna-
ton. He sleeps great deal. for his
house is insutficiently lighted and the
nights are long. but by daylight lie has
occupations enough. lie has boats to
BULL and oars to shape, saddles and har-
ness to make and TO mend, or he sorts
tho wool which the women spin into
yarn and then knit into stockings or
weave into coarse lemespun or flannel,
like wadmal. 4 busy sound Of yhirring
wheels often greets the ear when you
enter the farm house, and YOU find the
women oil at work ct tie end of the long
room.
Another duty devolvcs on the heads Of
the household ct isolated farms. There
are good elementary schools i'll many
places throughout the island. bat in re-
mote districts the children must be taught
at home. In summer the time is occu-
pied with out-of-door work. but in the
comparatively Idle days Of winter the
father, Or not infrequently the mother,
teaches the children Of either sex the
common branches. Iceland is perhaps
tho best educated community on the face
of the earth; throughout the length and
breadth Of the land there is nobody who
cannot read and write, and the general
knowledge of some Of these obscure fish
erman farmers is sometimes well nigh
appalling. William, Ii. Carpenter in The
Atlantic

Packing Fish for Market.

Some means of preserving the catch
until port is reached must be provided on
the smacks, and in the majority Of cases
large quantities CT ice are shipped before
leaving the city. As fast es tho fish are
caught they are eviscerated. cleaned and
packed away in ice houses down in the
hold. Bat some varieties must be brought
back alive. Snacks engaged in this
i3,a1c! Of the business have o contriv-
ance known as "tho well,' sunk In the
hull, through which The sea water con-
startly circuiates. The well Is simply
q deep tank located an,idsl:ips, reaching
from side to side of the smack. Its hot
tom is water tight, as are the sides which
shut it off from tho hold. Holes bored
in tho outer sides, formed by the vessels
hull, admit the sea water, and as the
smack moves along the water ci,culates
through, tho '.well." The fish are thrown
into this "well'' as they are hauled in
and remain in their native element until
the smack runs into the Fulton Market
slip. Then they are lifted out by means
of long pole scoop nets and placed in the
cars surrounding the smacks. New

An Aquatic Spiders Diving Bell

While their nearly constant abode Is
the wates. they are, like most other
spiders. air breathers; consequently they
need some special provision for providing
themselves with air while living under
the water, and for this purpose they pos
sess the art of constructing kind OF
diving bell. 1t is an interesting sight to
witness one of them making his air cell.
Clinging to the lower side OF a few
leaves, and securing them in position BY
spinning q few threads, the spider rises
to the level Of the water. with Its belly
uppermost. and, doubling up its hlno
legs, retains stratum of air among the
hairs with which its body is covered.
Then it plunges into the water and ap-
pears as in the first stage of the making
Of its silvery robe. Going Immediately
to the spot it had chosen, it brushes ITS
body with its paws, when the air &C.
taches itself and forms bubble under
the leaf. The spider surrounds this
bubble with the impermeable silky mat
ter furnished by its spinnaret
Returning to the surface, it takes IN
another layer Of air, which 1t carries
down and adds to the first one. also ex-
tending the envelope over it. The process
is kept up till the ''divins bell has
reached the proper size and is finished
The ideal form Of the construction is that
of thinble. but it often assumes an IL
regular shape, Ike an inverted sack:
When the spider has taken possession Of
its redoubt it remains quiet i'll it, head
down, watching for the appearance OF
an insect. Perceiving one, it seizes it
and returns to its lodge, which it has Sc
cured against intruders by spinning
threads across it, to devonr its prey at is
leisure. Emile Blanchard i'll Popular
Science Monthly.

Train the Left Hand.

Il is very strange that SD strong ard
unlind a prejudice against the lett Ealu
has lived and increased for centuries
when there is no natural or physiological
reason for it. mean to say that II you
examine the skeleton OF person who
was strong, healthy and we'll formed in
life, you will find that the bones Of the
left hand and arm are just as MANY
and just as large and perfect as
those Of the right. The study Of
physiology will show you too that the
muscles and iigan,ents and cartilagce
that fastened that persons arms to his
body and gave them the power CT mo-
ton were made to do their work just
as well on one side of the body as on the
other. If the left side were the weaker
Of the Two, it WIGS because Of failure TO
exercise it as freely as the other. Monkeys
ard cats and other animals. to, whom
paws are in certain sense hands, would
smile derisiyely, ] imagine, il you should
suggest totllein that paws were rights or
lefts. or that the paw on the one side
could do more than its mate. When.
therefore. boy or girl says that he or
she can throw O ball. handle racket or
do anything else, only with the right
hand, it ia q direct admission that a
monkey or cat is physically better
equipped than that boy Or girl. And
yet It is the general belief that human
beings are the most perfectly formed of
creatures.
First attempts to use the left hand are
always awkward and discouraging, but
in ordinary cases rersistency will grad
ually strengthen the least used member
and teach it to act as ably and sturdlly
as the right, till finally there Will be two
perfect hands instead Of one to answer
promptly the call of the master of all
our powers-the will. F. Herrck in
