WHY THE LEAVES TREMBlED

> Savages are supposed to have keener
SENSES especially a keener sense of
sight, than civilized races. The author
OF. Idle Days in Patagonia" does not
accept this theory. He believes that
savages have nd kaener senses. but
that they pay closersattention to what
comes within the range of their per-
ception. AS an instance of quick re-
spouse to an impression. he tells the
following story: -
ON March u. 1861, a company of
hunters We're camping beside a grove
of willows in Patagonia. About -
O'Clock that evening, while they We're
seated round the fire roasting their
ostrich meat, Sosa suddenly sprang to
Ills feet and held his open hand high
above his head for some. moments.
"There Is not a breath of wind blow

The other stared at the trees, but
could see no motion, and they began
to laugh at him.f Presently he sat
down again, remarking that the trem-
bling had ceased; but during the rest
ofethe evening he was very much dis
turbed in his mind. He remarked re
peeatedly hat such a thing had never
happened in his experience before; for,
be said, he could feel a breath of wind
before the leaves felt It, and there had
been no wind. He feared that it was
a warning of some disaster about to
overtake their party
THE disaster was not for them. On
that evening occurred the earthquake
which destroyed the distant city of
Mendoza apd crushed twelve thousand
people to death beneath the ruins. That,

of the nineteenth century and pre-

2,400 feet long, which was divided into
lengths, each corresponding to, a dis

BIG LANDLORDS OF IRELAND.
Marquis of Londonderry leads the List
in Extent of Acreage.

i'm Extent of Acreage.
To judge from the prominence giveI
to Lord Barrymore and to Colone
S%aunderson in the, question of the
landlord-tenant conference, 1t might
be imagined that they were almost the
largest landowners in Ireland, where
as neither the one nor the other would
in point of acreage, come among the
first three hundred of the four thou
sand owners of over five hundred acres
who have just beer polled. Lord Bar
rymore owns p, 900 acres, and Colone
~Sannderson 1882. There are twenty
two Lrish landlords owning more thai
fifty thousand acres, two Of them-the
Duke of Devonshire and the Marquis
of LanSdowner-bemg members of this
present ministry and the marquis
with his 121,349 acres, would seem to
be, in point Of acreage possessed. tho
largest Irish landlord. The other cab
met minister. whom most of lbs take
to be the typical Irish landlord, the
Marquis of Londonderry, shows quite
small by the side of his brother mar
'[QulS, loT-. lie oMu us EI,4iO acres Only
but as they are in Ulster-or, rather. il
East Ulster-they produce oyer thirty
thousand a year. -
One would wonder whether the big
landlord may not be, after all. the
curse that the older generation of the
last century made him out to be. Scot,
land and Ireland for the purposes of
this proposition are practically equal
yet while there are in Ireland two-and
twenty landlords owning over $4,000
acres, there are in Scotland ~forty-sey.
en-. 1t may be Jews to many English
men that one of the broadest-acred OF
these Scottish landlords is the prime
minister, who owns just 10000 acres
with a rent roll of some 100000. The
laird of lairds is, of course, the Duke
of Sutherland, who possesses over 81
