The Norwegian Fjords.

The fjords correspond to our bays or
inlets. They are long, narrow, wind
ing arms of the sea, with bold shores
and deep waters, the surface of which
is as smooth and mirrorlike as pond.
If you can remember the Palisades Of
the Hudson river more massive and
bold, and the water dark blue color
and deep, you will have something of
an idea of the formation of the fjords
The rugged shores rising abruptly
hundreds and thousands of feet, some
times only about a quarter of mile
apart; the quiet, dark, deep water,
with it's CLASSY surface rejecting the
picture of snow-covered rock and dull
gray cloud-and all without sign of
life anywhere. The only noise, except
the swish of your own steamer, is that
made by small cataracts tumbling
down the sides of the mountains into
the fjords. The absence of life always
has it's effect. The solitude of the for
est and the prairie, of stream and sea.
stirs the same emotions in the breasts
of all true lovers of nature.-George
Card Pease, in Harper's Magazine.

THE GENTLER SEX.

MADAME PATTI dislikes the perfume
of violets, which she finds has serious
effect upon her throat.
Mr. AND MRS. FREDDIE GERHARD, who
nre at Long Branch, drive the finest
pair of cobs at that resort.
To QUEEN NATALIE of Servia belongs
the distinction of owning the finest
head of hair among the royalties of
Europe. The usually wears it hanging
in two long plaits down her back.
THERE are nearly forty thousand
women cyclers in the United States.
New England and New York claim
half of this number, but with good
roads the sport is fast spreading in the
west, and it is only a question of time
before the east will hold second place
in numbers.
IT is asserted in some quarters that
Princess Eulalie, the worlds fair favor
lite, is living in London in comparative
poverty, but as she appeared lately at
ball at Buckingham palace, wearing
peach brocade and a diadem Of dia-
monds, she is still probably able to
make both ends meet.

A Slight Difference.

The man who had been brought up
in boarding house got day or tw
off, with a few dollars in his pocket,
and concluded he would go away and
have big time. one feature of which
was to buy meals at swell restaurant
He reached the place and went into
his first breakfast. The piece de re-
sistance was porterhouse steak, and
he tackled it with great gusto. After
a minute or two he called up the
waiter.
what kind of steak is this?" he
asked, with an effort.
'Porterhouse, SIR" responded the
waiter, with a quarter-tip tone of pride.
Are you sure of that?''
Certainly, sir. Why?"

you might have misunderstood my or

TREELEss WASTES OF ICELAND
Region Where Travel Is Attended with
Untold Discomfort.

Region Where Travel Is Attended with
Untold Discomfort.
Iceland is little better than a desert.
The peculiar configuration renders in
tercourse difficult, and along with the
barrenness of the soil makes the con-
dition of existence strangely hard.
People with so little to make life at
tractive might be pardoned if they
were to sink into stolid Indifference
to everything but the struggle to keep
alive. The size of Iceland is greater
than that of Ireland, and the popula-
ton is seventy thousand; but the only
inhabitable portion is a narrow strip
of pasture land extending like a green
girdle around the coast and up the deep,
narrow fiords. The interior of the
country is bowling waste of sand and
ice, traversed by darting glacial rivers,
and utterly incapable of supporting
more than a few scattered inha bitants.
Grass is the only considerable crop.
The hills and valleys are treeless and
afford at best but scanty pasturage for
horses, cows and sheep. Roads and
bridges scarcely exist. A Danish mer-
chant at Reikiavik has wheeled car
riage, but in the interior such a con-
veyance is unknown and would be use
less if known. The backs of horses
are the only means of transportation
across the country. Small boats carry
travellers over dangerous rivers, while
the horses swim on ahead. Hardly
anything that ministers to comfort, to
say nothing of luxury, is produced in
Iceland. Every nail in an Icelandic
house, every pane of glass, every bit of
wooden flooring, every insignificant bit
of furniture, has to be transported
laboriously from one of the seaports to
it's destination.
That the Icelanders are poor goes
without saying. There is little or no
home market, for every Icelander has
the same products to sell as his neigh
bor The circulation of money is,
therefore, very small. If a farmer has
direct dealings with the agents for
foreign markets, and is sufficiently pros
porous to have a little surplus each
year, he may handle little money,
but in general the trading at the sea-
ports is literally trading. An Icelander
barters a certain number of horses and
sheep or rolls of dried fish or bales of
hay for a supply of groceries and other
necessaries of life.-St. Louis Republic.

THE TIGER SNAKE.
An Australian Reptile Whose Bite Il

An Australian Reptile Whose Bite Il In
stantly Fatal.
1--WE hear great deal about tho
deadly qualities of the rattlesnake, the
adder and the copperhead," said
George Wharton, of San Diego, 'and
pretty nearly everybody has shuddered
at the description of the horrible eff
fects that ensue from the bite of the
ella monster. They have q snake in
Australia, though, whose fangs arc
more deadly than those of all the 9TH
ers 1 have mentioned combined. al
Jude to the tiger snake. The reptile
does not grow to large proportions,
length of three feet being a pretty
good size, and its skin resembles the
coat of the animal after whom it was
named. The bite of the tiger snake is
instantly fatal, and chemists who have
analysed its poison as far as possible
are of the opinion that it possesses pre-
cisely the same qualities as prussic
acid. Persons have been known to
walk out Of their houses on the brief
est sort of an errand and to have been
found dead five minutes afterward
from the effects of the tiger snake
bite. The government of Australia
has standing offer of five thousand
dollars, or thousand pounds, which
is nearly the same thing, to be given
to any one who may discover a remedy
for the bite of q tiger snake. A man
named Underwood, so have been told,
once discovered the successful anti
dote, and proved it's efficacy by allow
ing himself to be bit by the deadly
reptile and mourning no evil effects
from it. He wanted two thou
sand pounds for his secret, how
ever, which the colonial authori-
ties refused to pay. One day, while
drunk, Underwood was giving an ex-
hibition and allowed two tiger snakes
to bite him. In his maudlin state he
had forgotten where he had laid the
bottle containing the antidote, and he
died in few moments, his secret per-
ishing with him.-Washingto Star.
