One of the greatest natural wonders
In Java, "the fire island" a large lake
of boiling mud, is situated almost in
the centre of the plains of Grobogann,
fifty ''paals" to the northeast of Solo,
1t is almost two miles in circumfer-
ence, and in the centre immense col.
umns of soft, hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling, like
great black timbers thrust forth and
then suddenly withdrawn by a giants
hands. Besides the phenomena of the
columns there are two gigantic bub-
bles near the western edge which fill
up like huge balloons and explode on
an average of three times per minute.

The Spanish Game of OuOits.

The Spanish game of quoits-rayeula
lis played with unpierced disks of
iron about three inches in diameter
teio. The hubs consist of two curved
pieces of wrought iron of an oval
shape, terminating in point, which
is stuck in the ground. The larger of
these pieces, the pala, is placed in
front of the other, the paletin. To
strike the pala with the quot counts
one, while to strike the paletin which
is more difficult, counts two.

The German cutlery grinder is Il
very superior workman, and in razors
he has not a peer. The English work
man will not spare the time to do the
work as well, consequently the blanks
are sent to him from Sheffield to grind.
The English stand over the work, the
stone being set low. On the other
hand, the German has his stone right
before his face, and can see his work
very closely. His touch IS very deli
cate, and he can grind a blade as thin

Rules for the Napkin.

There is a good deal of uncertainty
as to whether it is or is not the thing
to fold a napkin after a formal meal.
If one is staying in the house and
knows that napkin rings are in use
there it seems reflection upon that
custom to fling the napkin down in an
untidy heap. An elegantly appointed
table deserves better treatment, even
at the end of the meal, than those dis
hcvcled piles of napery. Therefore. it
always seems tittest to simply halffOld
the napkin and not attract attention
to it either by one obtrusive habit or
the Other.-PhiIadelphia Press.
