REMARKABLE TREMORS.
Effects of Earthquakes Felt at Great Dis
tances.

Effects of Earthquakes Felt at Great Dis
tances.
Two very remarkable occurrences are
connected with the earthquake that
destroyed large part OF Thebes, in
Greece, in April last. At Birmingham,
England, a delicate pendulum, sus.
pended for the purpose of recording
earth tremors, exhibited marked dis.
turbance about fourteen minutes after
the principal shock occurred at Thebes
The observers at Birmingham attrib.
uted the disturbance of their pendulum
to the transference of the shock across
Europe from Greece to England, the
rate at which it travelled being about
one hundred and ten miles minute.
On the same night DR.. Gill, the En-
glish astronomer at the Cape of Good
Hope, observed extraordinary undula-
tions of the surface of the mercury
which he was using to detect errors of
level, and which continued during half
an hour.
DIR. Gill thinks that these, like the
tremors noticed at Birmingham, may
have originated in the same disturbance
of the earth's crust that produced the
disaster at Thebes. Apparently, how
ever. if the undulations were conveyed
all the way from Greece to the southern
end of Africa, they came from differ
ent shock from that which manifested
it's effects at Birmingham, for the I'M
dulations were noticed by DIR. Gill be-
fore that particular shock had been felt
at Thebes
These are by no meaus the first in
stances in which perceptible effects
from earthquakes have been noticed
hundreds and even thousands of miles
from the focus of the shocks. Youth S

BRITISH CHARIOTEERS.
Methods Employed in Ancient Warfare
With the Romans.

Methods Employed in Ancient Warfare
With the Romans.
The pluck and dash of British char
ioteers greatly impressed the Roman
general. They began by driving at
full speed along the enemy's line, hurl-
ing their weapons, and frequently
throwing the ranks into disorder by
the fear which their horses and the
rattle of their wheels inspired; and
when they had edged their way in
among the troops of cavalry, they
leaped down from the chariots and
fought on foot. The drivers meanwhile
fell back little to the rear, and so
posted their chariots that, if the war
riors were hard pressed by superior
numbers of the enemy, they might
have a ready retreat to their own lines.
So in battle they combined the mo-
bility of cavalry with the stability of
infantry, and became SO expert by
daily practice and exercise that when
on declivity or steep incline it was
their habit to pull up their horses at
full gallop, bring them to standstill,
turn them in an instant, run out along
bhC pOlt, VII ChS .foAC- ihNt OllCh
get back with all speed into the char
lot Some of the British cars have
scythes attached to the axletrees, and
were called by the natives covini-that
is tho Celtic word cowain, which means
cart or wagon. The Romans may
have previously seen similar chariots
used in the Gallo armies, but the wild
antics of the painted Britons must
have disconnected them not little.
Even Roman troops We're sometimes
demoralized by the manipulating
beings who opposed them. Thus we
read, century later, of an attack made
upon the Island OF Anglesea by the
Romans. They found drawn up along
the shore dense array of armed men,
through whose ranks ran women, re-
sembling furies, clad in funeral garb,
with disheveled hair, and torches in
their hands, while Druids stood around
and poured forth dreadful imprecations,
with hands appraised to heaven; and it
was only with difficulty that the gem
eral could induce his men to charge.

One of the less important witnesses
in a small trial was finicly sort of a
man with a mincing little step that
made the judge frown as he came to
the stand. The attorney asked him
his name, age and occupation.

tered.
"Why not? Don't you know it?" in
quired the attorney.

Napoleon's Lite as Lieutenant.

Auxonne, as had been expected, was
most uneasy, and on July 10, 1889, there
was an actual outbreak of violence, di-
rected there. as elsewhere, against the
tax-rcceivers. The riot was easily sup
pressed, and for some weeks yet the
regular round of studious monotony in
the young lieutenant's life was not dis
turbed except as his poverty made his
asceticism more rigorous. Il have no
other resource but work" he wrote his
mother; II dress but once III eight
days Sunday parade?); l sleep but lit
tie since my illness; it is incredible. l
retire at ten and rise at four in the
morning. i take but one meal day,
at three; that is good for my health "

THE TELEGRAPH.

The darkness and the silence lie
Between your soul and mine.
Like some great river rolling by
Beneath a night Of stormy sky,
Where not star may shine
But, as beneath the sullen brine
'Twixt lands of kindred speech.
There runs a slender, living line
Ger which there flash, by lightning sign
The thoughts of each to each.
So, meath that parting flood Of death
There runs living line
OF steadfast memory and faith,
OF love not born for mortal breath,
Between your soul and minel

All About Allspice.

The island of Jamaica produces about all
of the allspice used. It is known also as
pimento or Jamaica pepper. The tree on
which the berries grow is evergreen, and
the flowers grow in dense clusters. These
develop into small green aromatic berries
the size of black pepper. If allowed to
ripen they become PUPPY and lose some Of
their pungency. For commercial purposes
the berries are gathered when green, care
fully dried in the sun and afterwards packed
in bags holding 100 to $50 pounds and
shipped. Pimento trees grow in many
parts of tropical America. but nowhere do
they thrive as in Jamaica. The trees are
never planted by man and receive no Guilt
walton worthy the name. The seeds are
dropped by the BIRDS and the rains and the
tropical sun do the rest Surplus trees are
cut down and become walking sticks and
umbrella handles. This spice is more
mild and innocent than most other spices.

agrees with my experience. The only

ought to teach us not to confine ourselves
to one stock.

We have beautiful hedges of it on Orange

the winters cold perfectly we'll, and is a
very free boomer Can be trained as a
climber. This rose has the same parentage
as the Marechal Neil being a descendant

Where are the cacti? Wilhered and dead
