Life In Madeira.

Funchal, the capital of MADEIRA, reaches
nearly a mile along the shore, num-
Der Of the smaller streets and lanes ex-
tending up the steep slope and the hill,
behind. The streets were formerly very
dirty, but since the open cutters have
been nearly all carried under ground,
they have been rendered very clean, and
are also we'll paved.
The houses of the lower classes seldom
exceed one story in height, but are we'll
kept as regards the exterior, being neatly
whitewashed, while the residences of the
wealthy are large, handsome buildings.
The favorite mode of travelling in
Madeira is in hammocks, although horses
and small open carriages with the attend
ant arrieiros, can be hired in Funchal at
any time. Sledges, or carrinhos are
used on the steep Mount Road above
Funchal. They are like low armchair,
made of wickerwork, padded and cush-
toned, with platform for the feet, and
set on wooden runners. The car is i'm
PEELED by one or two men, according to
its size, and guided with strong thongs
of hide. The sensation OF rushing down
IL incline from 1000 feet above the sea
in bout three minutes is most en- oyable,
and it is very rarely that any accident
happens.
The costume Of the peasantry is pic
turesque, and consists of an embroidered
bodice, the white chemisette, collar and
short sleeves being fastened with gold
link butte rs, finely worked; of stripped
petticoat, closely woven in bright collars,
bound with a contrasting color-the

in the different parishes. The peculiar
pointed cap is worn by both Sexes

Speaking Of the reported removal OF .
mountain in japan, Philadelphia gen.
tleman says: "a most curious event is
said to have happened in the year 1871
in Herefordshire, England. On the l1tn
Of February, which was Saturday, at
six o'clock in the evening, the earth be-
gan to open and hill with rock under
it, making at first a loud believing
noise, which was heard several miles of,
lifted itself up to great height and be-
gan to travel, bearing along with it the
trees growing on 1t, sheepfolds, sheep
and cattls that happened to be grazing
on the hill at the time. 1t left gap in
the ground about fifty yards broad and
100 long. The size of the hill was
about twenty acres at the base. Passing
along, it overthrow chapel standing in
the WY, removed yew tree planted IN
the church yard from the west side to
the est side and with the same force it
thrust before it highways, sheepfolds,
hedges and trees. Titled ground was
made pasture, and pasture was turned
into titled ground. The hill continued
to move by fits and starts from the Sat-
uriay evening until noon on Monday
when it stopped, having in that time
moved distance of over a mile. A
ike circumstance is reported to have &C.
cured in Dorsetshire, in 1888. A field
Of over three acres in extent, at Black
more, moved bodily distance of some
500 yards. The trees and fences upon
it were but little disturbed. but it
knocked down a church and sundry
dwellings in another field, crossing the
high road to Heine, blocking it up, and
there it stayed. These curious earth
commissions are alluded to by many
writers of the period, and gave rise to no
end of litigation respecting property
rights. In the royal archives is an exact
account of three events which are

TESTING THE VITALITY OF GRASS.
The Illinois Experiment Station says
it is an easy matter to test the vitality o.
grass and clover seed, by placing giva
number, say 100, of the variety to Se
tested between wooden cloths moistepd
with water. Care should be taken to
boil the cloths before using, to scalsthe
plate or pan in which the cloth are
laid, and to use only recently piled
water to moisten the cloths, in order to
avoid the growth OF fungi or molding.
Two or more cloths may DO laid upon
the plate or pan, the seeds distributed
upon the upper one, and another cloth
laid upon the seeds. Sufficient water
must be applied to keep the cloths moist.
A plate of glass laid over the plates or
pans would add to the efficiency of the
device by retarding evaporation aud pro-

centre Of CalIfsrnla's Orange Growth

The city of Riverside occupies an area
of some FIVE miles by three, and claims
to have 5000 inhabitants; the centre is a
substantial town with fine school and
other public buildings, but the region is
one succession of orange groves and
vineyards, OF comfortable houses and
broad avenues. One avenue through
which we drove Is 125 feet wide and
twelve miles long, planted in three rows
with palms, magnolias, the Grevillea TO-
busta australian FERN, the pepper, and
the eucalyptus, and lined all the way by
splendid orange groves, in the midst Of
which are houses and grounds with semi
tropical attractions. Nothing could be
lovelier than such a scene of fruits and
flowers, with the background Of purple
hills and snowy peaks. The mountain
views are superb. Frost is rare visitor.
Not in fifteen years has there been enough
to affect the orange. There is little rain
after March, but there are fogs and dew
falls, and the ocean breeze is felt daily.
The grape grown for raisins IS the mus
cat, and this has had no "sickness. "
Vigilance and quarantine have also
kept from the orange the scale which has
been so annoying in some other localities.
Tho orange, when cared for, is generous
bearer; some trees produce twenty boxes
ea,h, and there are areas Of twenty acres
in good bearing which have brought to
the owner as much as $4,000 year.

General Greedy, in his annual talk
about the weather, gives some space to
showing that tornadoes are not quite so
bad as they are made out. For one
thing he notes they are not so destruc-
tive to life as thunder storms, and
quotes in support of this dictum the
annual reports for eighteen years.
which show 1O2 deaths annually from
tcrnadoes, while in this present year
just the same number was killed by
lightning in the period from March to
August, the ia ter list also being no
toriously incomplete, especially in the
Southern States. Rather more COM
forting, than this comparison Of one
large list of deaths with another still
larger, are the conclusions that in no
State may a destructive tornado be ex-
pected oltener than once in two years,
and that the chance of personal injury
or loss OF property is really very small.
He says that the published accounts are
almost grossly exaggerated, aud cites
.ne case in which a month after the
storm the loss of lie was reported as
500, whereas it was really 1876. He
calls particular attention to the uhi-
formly narrow path OF the destructive
tornadoes, those that work great dam
age.
The territory affected is usually short,
as web as narrow, so that even If 1t
were known that one would strike to-
morrow in a certain State the chance of
danger to any particular inhabitant
would be exceedingly small. The re-
port does not go into figures on this
point, bu. here is an illustration: Take
for instance, the State OF Kansas. and
assume tornado which follows the sur
face for a mile and cuts rath two hun
deed feet wide. This is big one.
The State contains 81, 31S square miles.
and the area assumed as covered by the
tornado is one-twenty-sixth of a mile.
Consequently the chance of the tornado
striking any particular spot of that area
in the State would be about one in
twenty millions. So much for the in
dividual chances.
On the other hand the total damage
in the country in year is great. The
record for eighteen years shows 1000
tornadoes, or violent storms, which
killed 1,071 people and destroyed s23.-
QUO, 900 worth of property, while in the
most violent class there were fifty-eight,
which killed 755 pc pie and destroyed
property to the value Of $ll, 1874, 700
Nervous readers will do well to fix their
minds on the two points, of the very
small number of deaths each year and
the extreme improbability Of a destruc-
tive tornado hitting any designated
spot. -HartfoYd Courdnt

In reading over the literary items of
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
n recommendation to use DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache,
determined to try them, and, TO my great
joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size Of dose.
AS a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
