THE highest active volcano in the
world is Popocatapett, thirty-fivo
miles south of Pueblo, Old Mexico.
IL is l7,7s4 feet high; the crater is
three miles in circumference and
1000 feet deep. When Cortez con-
quered Mexico Popocatapett was in
Il state OF active eruption, the smoke
being visible for 800 miles in every
direction.
One Of CorteZ' men, Francisco
Montauo, was the first white man
toascend to the summit. Up to 1875
but two white women, Mrs. John
w. Foster and Mrs. Arthur Terry,
had ever gazed into the awful crater.
Since that time several lady tourists
have made the ascent. The figures
of Gen. Cosper Ochor, the owner of
the great smoking mountain, show
II to be lO,523 feet high; 1874 the
figures given above, are those used
by most geographes.

Mr.. HOLDEN'S NARRATIVE.
A Romantic Story Of Shipwreck,
Captivity and Suffering.
CAST AMONG BARBAROIs SAvAGES.
Horace Holden Subjected to Unheard Of
Suferings Among the BarbarOus
Pelew Islanders.

Near Salem there resides an old gentle
man OF near eighty years, whose life has
been most eventful one. The story OF his
privations and startling experiences would
hll large volume. This man Is Horace
Holden, who away back in the "thrties,"
shipped from his native New England VII
lage, for n whaling voyage TO the Indian
China seas and cast for years on the desert
islands OF the barbarous savages. BY these
untutOred and uncivilized barbarians he
was worked as pack animal and made to
bear heavy burdens on his naked arms.
He was tattOoed from head to foot and
left, naked and dying, under the burning
rays Of n tropical sun, 10 subsist as best he
could for many long weeks on the few
parched leaves he could pick up by the
roadside. He finally made his escape to
passing English vessel and was rescued
from the jaws Of death just as "A huge man
eating shark purpled the water around
him.
Chapters of this intensely interesting
will appear in the JOURNAL each
until the story is completed.
In these brief chapters the exciting story
If his life among the savages, his suffer
ngs and privations and his mar yeIous es-
,ape will be narrated vividly, as related to |
he writer by the genial old gentleman |
whose life has been so full of romance,
pgedy and sad reality.-EDTToR.l

Marks of Gentility,
Nchange.

There are many curious personal habits and usages that originally marked gentility, if not aristocracy The practice observed among Spanish hidalgos of allowing the finger nails to grow into claw like forms was to show that they had never done any work. The same thing is done by the Chinese for the same purpose.
 Among the ancient Romans the wearing of long sleeves, which came down over the hand, was the fashion in the upper circles. This advertised to the world that the wearer did not engage in any labor, and freedom from employment was, according to their crude notions of worth, the condition of responsibility.
 The height of absurdity is reached in the fancy of the Chinese leaders of fashion who have gone to the extent of inducing shapeless deformity in women's feet, and rendering the vic- tims cripples for life, to prove that these could afford to get along with out doing anything for themselves.
 Yet we cannot afford to laugh at the Chinese in this matter. English boots and shoes have been designed more or less for the same absurd pur- pose. AS early as the time of William Rufus peaked toed boots and shoes excited the wrath and contempt of the monkish historians. The shoes called pigGcid had their points made like scorpions tail, and a courier named Robert stuffed his out with tow, and caused them to curl round in form of 6 rams horn, fashion which took nightly amongst the nobles." It is plaln that the purpose of this fashion was to show that the privileged wearer was not dependent on any kind of labor or fleetness of foot for his daily bread.
 The practice of wearing tight-fit- ting boots and shoes is an old one, for Chaucer, writing of them in his day, says that it is
 "Merveyle sith that they site so pleyn

Somewhere there is a radiant land All beautiful forever, A world by bslmy breeZes famed, With skies unclouded ever. Upon that stormless shining shore Falls music as in days Of yore, Forever and forever. There time can never dim the light or eyes which sparkle ever. For golden hair, grown silver bright, Is beautiful as ever. While on Ihs brow Care cannot trace A line that Love would not efiace Forever and forever.
