Climatic Changes.

The changes Of terrestrial chmste
have been many and various. Myrtles
and tree ferns once forrished in Green
land; coral insects built on the shores Of
Melville island: nautiluses sailed over
what must then have been the tepia seas
about Spitzbergcn. Eut with the lapse
of ages the scene changed, and worse
than arctic risors spread into regions
now enjoying temperate climate. Pos
sibly not for the first time. The Per
1nian WAS certainly IN Indictment age,
and It's inclemency seems even to have
reached the point OF glaciation in the
west of England and ireland, yet it was
preceded md succeeded by long prev
a3encc Of tropical conditions.
These assuredly reigned without in
terruption, in north temperate and polar
regions throughout the vast expanse OF
Tertiary time. Palms and cycads then
sprarg up in the room of oaks and
beeches in England; turtles and croco-
dies haunted English rivers and estu-
aries: lions. elephants and hyenas
roamed at large over English Cry land.

Paving q Debt.

The celebrated French poet, Saint
Folk. who, in spite Of his large income.
was always in debt. SGT one day ia n
bnrber's shop waiting to he shaved. He
was latherel. when the door opened and
a tradesman entered who happened to
he ore of the poets largest creditors.
40 sooner did this man see Saint-Foix
than he angrily demanded his money.
The poet composedly begged him not to
lncke q scene.
Wont You wait for the money until
all shaved?"
Certainly said the other, pleased at
the prospect.
Saint-Foix then made the barber q
witness Of the agreement and imme-
distely took towel, wiped the lathor
FROM his face and left tho shop. Ho
wore beard to the end of his days.
