BILE for heavy pork TO freeze on the out

and lay the skin side down on the salt,
When the first layer is completed sprinkle
salt over it plentifully, and so continue
until you have all stacked up in this

where the tourist looks down into it, is a
narrow gorge, into whose secret and
gloomy depths beautiful stream vanishes

in its first fascination and terror, while
hours will not exhaust the individual feat
ures of the landscape. The ferns that
gather at the feet of the cataracts, about
the pools where the water rests moment
before taking its next plunge over the
still deeper precipices; the cliff climb
ing armies of eucalyptus trees, the dark
rocks, the cloudy sky above, the distant
bird notes-all these blend at one mo-

invite afresh your closer scrutiny, to see il

Why So Many Languages.

Before the simpler laws of astronomy
were known the sun was supposed to be
trundled out into the heavens every day,
and the stars hung up in the armament
every night by the right hand OF the AL
mighty. Before the laws of comets were
known they were thought to be missiles
hurled by an angry God at a wicked world.
Before the real cause of lightning was
known it was supposed to be the work OF
good God in his wrath, or OF evil spirits
in their malice.
Before the laws of meteorology were
known it was thought that rains were
caused by the Almighty or his angels open
ing "the windows of heaven" TO let down
upon the earth ''the waters that be above
the armament. Before the laws govern
ing physical health were known diseases
were supposed to result from the direct IN
terposition of the Almighty or or Satan.
Before the laws governing mental health
were known insanity was generally thought
to be diabolic possession.
So in this case, to account for the diversi-
ty of tongues, the direct Intervention OF
the Divine will was brought in As this
diversity was felt to be an inconvenience,
il was attributed to the Will of Divine oe-
ing in anger. To explain this anger it was
held that it must have been provoked by
human sin.
Out of this conception explanatory myths
and legends grew as thickly and naturally
as elms along water courses; and of these
the earliest form known to us is found in
She Chaldean accounts. We see it first in
the Chaldean legend of the Tower of Babel
