sonnet HIN ABOUT oiBRArTAR: !
There Is Grass on the Rock, sanda City
of Incidence.

The popular idea about the Rock of
Gibraltar is that it is a barren solid
mass Of granite rising perpendicular
from the sea, but such is not altoget ~
er the case. True, it rises abruptIy5
but it is not barren. u
At q distance, when one is COM
inc up the straits, the rock looms up
through the mists that always hang
more or less over the Mediterranean at
this point and looks utterly devoid Of
vecetation And even when half a mile
away it seems little more than moss
covered.
But an agreeable surprise awaits the
traveller who disembarks.
After passing the gruf officers at
the gates of the landing pier and cross
ing the various draw bridges and iron
barred doors one comes into long,
narrow street bordered on either side
by Towering vines and few palms.
There are abundant olive. palm, and
other trees, some of which are flower
ing and give brilliancy to the land
scape that can only be found in tropi-
cal countries.
The population of this town is as
various and variegated as the flora,
and all races seem represented h ERE.
The streets are Spanish in appearance
the houses being white or colored light
pink, yellow. or blue. On the Alemeda
dark-eyed Andalusian women snare
the hearts Of red-and- blue coated Brit
ish soldiers, who, with all their weapons,
90 down before the Spanish fan when
welded by such women.
Moors, grave of features and digni-
fed, with their red fezes and white
gowns, mingle with the greasy, rag
ged, dark Whiskered Spanish muleteers
and fruit sellers.
Now and again in the cool of the day
a white-helmeted officer may be seen
taking a constitutional on the Gale,
accompanied by his fair-haired En-
glsh wife, who presents d startling
contrast to the lue-bIack-haired Span
ish maiQens.
AIRY may also be seen once in 2
while, with his CHASTITY checked suit
aud fore-and-aft peaked hat Of the
same pattern and his Inevitable briar-
wood pipe stuck doggedIy between his
teeth as he blunders along the road.
Tt is a delightfully."- lazT place, but an
unfortunate one for artists, inasmuct

Beggar Priests in Northern China

1t was no uncommon sight to meet

Her Verse Of Scripture.

Atone Of the teachers institutes held

in force that whoever entered the
morning session late should pause at

How subdue An Ugly Dog.

A good. method Of Hconquering dogs
was exempIified in the presence Of d
correspondent who tells the story as
follows: While staying at a country
house the conversation turned upon
Ithe ferocity of a dog, half bulldog, half
fmastiff, that was chained up in the
yard A small delicate-looking man,
fwho was one of the guests, smiled CON
temptuously at our hosts description
Hof the hounds savageness, and offered
Ito bet that he would go down to the
kennel and take bone from under his
nose. The bet was taken, and we all
adjourned TO the courtyard to witness
the feat.
| The small man, who had vanished
for moment reappeared. and strolled
up to the kennel with his right arm
outstretched The dog rushed at him
with open mouth, then stopped. turned
tail and skunk into his hutch. The man
| followed, put his hand inside, pulled
the dog out by the collar and then,
after permitting it to crawl back again,
coolly took up the bone it had been
just enjoying and threw it away with
out any protest on the part of the
animal.
The secret of his success. was that he
had rubbed his hand with a solution Of
ammonia A dog can not bite with
out drawing in its breath, and the in
| halation of this pungent odor was too
much. for it. Spirits of camphor eau
de cologne and other powerful per-
fumes of the kind are said to be almost
as effective.
