De mirar tai despreeio, casi loca,
A juzgar por los ayes que sofoca
Nunca martir aiguno sufrio tanto;
Porque ioh Dios squien creyera
Que aquel hombre galan Y degradado
Dejase Julia, sin mirar siquiera
una mHjer tan noble Y hechicera,
Que, 81 volviese verle desgraciado,
Su propia sangre a su salud bebiera?

The pathetic death of young DR..
John w. Byron, the celebrated bac-
teriologist, from consumption, which
originated during his experiments with
tubercle bacilli, recalls again the
strange fatality which overtakes SO
many medical specialists. The list is
a long one of all those who have sue
cumbed as victims to their special dis.
eases. DR.. Byron has died martyr
to science, but he lived hero of medi-
cine. He was known as the hero of
Swinburne Island, on which he spent
one whole month among the cholera
infected immigrants. During his
brief but orld-famous career he
braved death many times over in it's
most hideous shapes. He defed the
yellow fever plaques of Peru. the NAL
arial fever epidemics of Cuba, and the
cholera plaques of both the Old and
the New World. He leaves. too, as a
valuable legacy much new informat:cn I

Tia Most Modern House.

A house a. Chamounix, built on what
must assuredI,- be termed the most mod
ern principles of construction, is claimed
to possess, as its most remarkable fea-
ture, constant temperature, in addition
to its strength, durability, comfort and
beauty. The builder NJ. Caron, first pus
up frame of steel water-tubing, allow
ing continuous circulation to stream OF
water, and around this frame the house
was put up, the popularity being tha:
all floors and ceilings are crossed ami
recrossed by the water pipes-the water,
after passing through the horizontal
tubes first, that is, under the floors and
ce:lings-passes through the vertical
tubes until all have been similarly treat
ed. In summer, spring water fresh as IS
only, the water Of the snow-capped Alps,
circulates under pressure through the
network of tubes, cools Off the walls, ana,
after having run its course, flows off con-
siderably warmer than when it entered.
But in its course It has absorbed much
heat, which it carries away. During the
long and severe winter the water, enter
ing through the basement, is first heated
to nearly 100 degrees, and then forced
through the tubing. OF course much Of
the heat is left all over the house, and a.
the outlet the temperature of the water
is about 40 degrees. and the speed OF the
circulation Of water can be regulated 50
as 70 allow the fixing Of g certain temper
ature for the house, which is equal
throughout. The house measures 5000
cubic yards. and weighs 12O tons.

Whittier and Old Butler.

When John G. Whittier was child his
father had a pair of oxen named Buck
and Old Butler. They were treated al
most as family pets, and as they lay on
the hillside, chewing their cuds, the two
boys, Greenleaf and Matthew, used them
as armchairs. sitting upon their fore
heads and leaning against their horns.
Old Butler once saved the future poet' S
life in way that entities him to everlast-
ing remembrance The story is told in
Mr.. Pickard's biography. The boy went
to the pasture with bag Of salt for the
cattle. Old Butler. from the hilltop, saw
him coming and hurried down to meet
him. 1t happened that the slope was
pretty steep. and the heavy OK acquired
such momentum that he found himself
unable to stop.
a moment more and the boy would
have been crushed. But the OK pulled
himself together, leaped straight out into
the air. cleared the boy lead, and came
to the ground far below with tremendous
force. but happily without harm.-The

The Gull and the Eel.

would give him any, falling fish, on raw

insects, and failing these, on anything.
including spaTrows. Il was the most
fascinating entertainment to give him
an eel, for he would toss the eel about
several ways until it came to the pos
ton most suitable for swallowing, when
he would swallow it; but the eel, no. ye:
defeated. would often wriggle up IL his
sullet again, and this process would be
repeated many a time So, If swallowing
be delight, the pleasure which our S1'li
derived from the process must have been
manifold. Eventually the eel would
weary of the vain ascent of the gull'S
gullet, and consent to remain in contact
with the juices Of digestion. Nature is a
queer mother of her children.
One never knows how much the state
of domesticity affects creatures that
ought to be wild. In the natural state.

He was a herring gull, and it was not
until his fifth year that he arrived at the

feathers Of infancy. Yet in their wild
state these gulls are said to arrive At
the adult plumage before the fifth year.
