The Ice-Cap of Greenland.
The aspect of these boundless wastes
rolling away in scarcely perceptible
undulations, and in the distance mingling the grey of their snows with the
grey of the skies, at first gave the impression that Greenland was a uniform
plateau, a sort of horizontal table.
Ihe belief now prevails that the rocky
surface of the land is, on the contrary,
carved into mountains and hills, valleys and gorges, but that the plastic
snows and ice have gradually tilled up
all the cavities, which now show only
in sight sinuosities on the surface.
Allowing to the whole mass of the icecap an average thickness of 500 feet, it
would represent a total volume of
about 150,000 cubic miles. This sernier
suak, or great ice of the Greenlanders,
flows like asphalt or tar with extreme
slowness seaward, while the surface is
gradually leveled by the snow falling
during the course of ages and distributed by the winds. In the interior of
the country the surface of the ice and
snow is as smooth as if it were polished, looking like "the undisturbed
surface of a frozen ocean, the long but
not high billows of which rolling from
east to west are not easily distinguishable to the eye." Nevertheless, the
exterior form on the ice-cap has been
greatly diversified, at least on its outer
edge, where in many places it is difli-
.cult to cross, or even quite impassable.
The actioa of lateral pressure, of heat
"produced by the tremendous friction,
of evaporation and Alteration, has
often broke the surface into innumerable cones a few yards high, in form
and color resembling the tents of an
encampment.
A Genuine Dog Story.
The following dog story is absolutely-
true, the occurrence having come under
the observation of the physician at Old
Orchard and related to the attorney
upon honor: An intelligent dog was
afllicted by fleas. They clouded his
existence, if We may believe appearances," since four-fifth's of the time the
intelligent dog was tied up in a double
bow knot lighting the smaller and less
intelligent but more nimble flea. He
had chewed the hair from his sides,
and his eye was lack-luster. The
maugy canise decided to take a bath
in the waters of the ocean, and in doing so discovered that as the sea water
heightened upon his legs and sides and
back the fleas fled before it as ever the
wicked llee.
Soon after the dog was seen backing
out into water, a smile growing over
his countenance as an idea took possession of him. He was next seen with
a» huge wad of cotton in his mouth.
With this lifted aloft he backed out.
The fleas crawled higher as the se^
water rose about him. They opc.^pjed
his back and then his head, niades'uiw
comfortable as th$y wer£ by'the sal|
water. Then at histl lis the dog^a
head sank very slowly beneath the
wtwes., the multitude vacated it, jumping • to the wad of cotton that was
floating just at the dog's nose. The
fleas floated away forever on the fickle
wad of cotton, while the'dog swam
ashore, to be forever embalmed in history by the story of the doctor and the
lawyer and the newspaper.
The Scene of The Agony.
On the very lowest slope of the
Mount of Olives, deep down, aud unseen beyond the inclosing- wall qf. \lae_
Temple area,*lies the garden wlyph IS
so associated with the." sacred story—
Gethseruane, the sceae of the agony.
Almost opposite to it, on the other side
of t}ie road which traverses the narrow
valley, is what is now called the Golden
Gate,supposed to have been the beautiful gate of the temple. It would be
the natural and nearest way by which,
to reach that sacred retirement. By
this gate no doubt the betrayer and his
stealthy band would follow the steps of
the Lord to his favorite haunt, stealing
down under the twilight skies to where
the shade of the pale olives sheltered
his prayers and mysterious anguish,
am* the troubled dozing of the disciples
"sleeping for sorrow," confused by the
strange, uncomprehended tide oi
events, which was drawing their feet
toward something they knew not what.
And by this path again, no doubt, they
led their prisoner back, avoiding the
peopled way, hurrying him into the'
stronghold of his enemies.
It is said that there exists a Moslem
tradition that by this gate the Messiah
is to ride into the holy place, taking,
back his kingdom, and consequently
the precaution has been taken—it curi*
ously ineffectual one, considering the
greatness of the event—of building up
the gate. There is something even in
this superstition which is grateful to
the imaginative mind. And the singularly touching juxtaposition of the
temple gate and the garden is still
more .memorable. Gethsemane itself,
a site about which there is no manner
of doubt, is now a garden of flowers,
protected by trim palings—a modern
garden, orderly and well cared for,
which gives a ' certain shock to the
mind, but rather for the first moment
than permanently.—Blackwood's Mdga-
Cleaning Russet Shoes.
Another "Victim of the Twist.
Dooley—"Let me congratulate you,
old fellow. I hear your unole bequeathed you his entire, fortune when
he died,"'   '
"" Cooley—"Yes, he   did;  but   there's
nothing left of it now."
Dooley—"What? How's that? He
has been dead but four days, hasn't he?"
Cooley—"Xes; but it took all the
money to keep him" on' ice until tha
funeral."—Figaro.	
It is expected that 120,000,000 lobsters will be hatched iu Newfoundland this season.
Do you of the russet shoes know how
to clean the leather and restore it to
its first estate? Of course you have
tried the varnishes aud washes and
found them altogether vexation oi
Spirit. And the real thing is easy
when you know about it. Just squeeze
the juice of a lemon on a bit of soft
cloth, give the leather a thorough
treatment with this, and see if your
shoes don't look as well as they did
when you bought theni.
Vaccination in China. *
The governor of Hong Kong reports
that the Chinese believe in vaccination
and submit without complaint to the
ordeal. It is also thought that they
believe it wards off evil spirits and the
like.
