The Rock Of Glbralter.

The rock OF Gibralter, which is one
of the strongest fortresses in the
world, is connected with spain by q
low, sandy isthmus, which is con-
stantly guarded by English and Span
ish soldiers. There are many natural
caves in the rock, which are the home
Of large numbers OF very small monk.
eys. 1t is the only place in Europe
where wild monkeys live. The origi.
nal name OF Gibralter was Geberal
Tarik, which signifies Tarik's noun
tain, and it is said that in I'll . Sar.
aeon warrior named Tarik ben Zeyad
landed there, and built q fort, which
after passing several times from the
hands of the Saracens, or Moors, to
the Spaniards, and back again to the
Moors, was at last captured from the
Spaniards by the English in 1704, and
since that time has remained British
possession. 81

Now physicians and psychologists
come to the front with the astounding
statement that q man goes to sleep
piece.meal instead of altogether and
simultaneously as it were. That is
the senses do not fall themselves unit
eddy into state of slumber, but cease
to receive Impressions generally, one
after the other. At first the sight
ceases, and next the sense of taste
loses its susceptibility to outward i'm.
preston.
Even then, the individual being al
most in an unconscious state, three
senses still remain in a condition oil
activity - smelling, hearing and
thought. Gradually the sense Of
smeliing goes. then hearing, and final.
ly with the lapse of thought, the en-
tire body becomes completely asleep.
The physicians have gone even fur
Their than this, and they say that the
senses sleep with different degrees oil
prof0undness. The sense of touch ia
the most easy to arouse. next that oil
hearing, then sight, and taste and
smelling last.
Sleep steals on the body gradually
certain parts OF muscles beginning Ia
sleep before others. Slumber com.
mences at the extremities, beginning
with the feet and legs. That is why
it is always necessary TO keep the feet
warm.

stone Forests Of Arixeu..

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifcations-whole forests
being found in some places are hard as
aint, but which looks as if recently
stripped of their foliage. Some Of
these stone trees are standing just a.
natural ~ life, while others are piled
across each other just like the fallen
monarchs of real wood forest. Geol-
ogists say that these stone trees were
once covered to the depth of nearly
1000 feet with mari, which trans-
formed them from wood 10 solid rock.
This mari, after the lapse OF ages,
washed off, leaving some of the trees
standing in an upright position. The
majority of them, however, are piled
heltef'skelter in all directions, thous.
ands Of cords being sometimes piled
up on an acre Of ground.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

OLD CoRKs.-These should not be
thrown away as they are useful for
lighting fires.
A cut onion left in q room newly
painted will prevent greatly, il not en-
tirely, the offensive odor of the paint.
To REMOVE HoARsENEss.-Dip a
piece of flannel in brandy or whisky,
and apply it to the throat or chest
with piece OF warm, dry flannel over
it. 1t will frequently cure hoarseness
caused by cold.
Silver or plated articles should be
daily washed in hot soap snd water,
and dried we'll with soft cloth.
After this they should be rubbed with
channels leather. This done carefully
they will require little or no cleaning
with pastes or powder.
To CLEAN WHITE FELT HATs.-Put
powdered magnesia or srrowroot on
the hats, rubbing carefully with new
tooth brush. This removes marks OF
rain or dirt. Then rub on some ether
mixed with a little cold water, not too
thick; continue rubbing in with the
brush till quite white, then hang out
to dry.
To REMOVE GREASE Spots FROM
SILK OR CLorH.-Get a piece Of
French chalk, and scrape finely with
q knife sufficient of it to cover the
spots. Put it over them thickly but
do not press it down. You will see,
after few hours, that the French
chalk has absorbed some of the grease
and is discolored, shake the chalk off,
do not rub it, and apply fresh chalk in
the same way until there is no more
grease to absorb, and you will find
there is no mark left.
EAU SEDATIvE, CURE FOR HEADACHE.
Put handful OF salt into q quart Of
water, add one ounce spirits Of harts.
horn, snd one.hslf ounce camphorated
spirits of wine. Put them quickly
into bottle and cork tightly to pre-
vent the escape of the spirit. Soak a
piece OF rag in the mixture and apply
it to the head; wet the rag afresh as
soon rs it gets heated. 1t will he
found to be very comforting, espec.
tally if the headache proceeds from
WEAKNESS or nervousness.
PoTATo PoULTIcEs.-In cases of ear
or face ache potato poultice is most
comforting. II retains heat long
time and is never moist nor wet. The
plan is to wash tho potatoes and boil
them in their skins till quite done,
when strain and dry them, put them
into flannel bag, whicq tack across
the top, and crush them with a
wooden or potato-crusher. Apply
very hot to the affected part. They
may be re-heated q second or third
time.

LONGFELLOW'S HIAWATHA.'

The Great Indian Epic Took the
Literary World by Surprise.
The Indian epic OF Il" Hiawatha" took
the world by surprise, writes Hezekiah
Butterworth in an article in The La
dies Home Journal. It's form and its
matter were for long time myster-
les. How could a Cambridge literary
reciuse produce such an epic? Ger
tain critics claimed that the idea,
form and magic treatment of the poem
had been borrowed from q Scandinav-
ian sage, and the implication greatly
disturbed his publishers and must
have caused his sensitive spirit great
pain. 1t partly eclipsed for a time
the new star in the literary horizon
on which all eyes were fixed. The
criticism was disarmed; the wonder
grew; fixed star had appeared. But
the mystery of the poem is simply
solved.
Longfellow desired to produce an
epic that should be in sympathy with
all that was most beautiful and noble
in the vanishing Indian race. Abra.
ham Le Fort, an Onondaga chieftain
had furnished Schoolcraft, the his
torian, much Indian lore and many
mystic traditions, with certain Indian
vocabularies, in which the musical
and unmusical sounds of many words
indicated their meaning. These ira.
ditions and vocabularies made the
work of the poet easy. One only
needs to read Schoolcraft, to whom
the poet acknowledged his indebted
ness, to see how this monument t.
tho Indian race, their only great liter
ary memorial, was built.
