Mountain f. aim.
When the workl was comparatively
young, and people wore cont nted witl
legends and myths concerning the won
ders of creation, jnst as children liki
fairy stcries, it was the common belie'
that mountains were the work of god
and genii, who hurled tliern down from
heaven, and allowed them to fall
chance, or else raised them as'mighti
pillars destined to bear the vaults of thi
slsies. The Titans, who were not pods,
threw down all the mountains of Thes
sa!y in order to use them again for build
ing up the ramparts round Olvmpus.
Another story is that a ciantess of the
North had filled her apron with little hill.
and dropped tham at cert.un distances
that she might recognize her way. Anc
ttill another, from the other end of tin
earth, is that Vishnu, one day, feeing a
young girl asleep beneath the sun's too
ardent rays, took up a mountain, and
held it poised upon his finger tip3 to
i-lielter the beautiful sleeper. This, the
legend tells us, was the origin of sun
shades. Nor was it even always neces
sary for gods and giants to lift tip the
mountains in order to remove them ; the
latter obeyed a mre sign. St in?s has
tened to listen to tlia strains of Orpheus'
lyre; mount tins stood' erjst to hear
Apollo. It was thus that Helicon, tht
home of the Muses, took its birth.
Strange as ar these stories, thy ar
no more wonderful than the actual fact
that, under the direction of the Creator,
the two great giants, fire and water,
have been and still are at work con
straciing mountains, slowly, it is true,
and not by any sudden upheaval, as the
lovers of the marvelous would have it
to be, but non9 the less surely.
While wandering over the surf ice of
the globe, and carefully observing its
natural phenomena, we sea that mount
ains are the slow growtli of ages. When
an insular or continental mra some
hundreds or thousands of yards high re
ceives rain in abundance, its slopes
gradually become indented with ra
vines, dj,lc, valleys ; the uniform sur
face of the plateau is cut into peaks,
ridges, pyramids ;. scooped out into am
phitheaters, basins, precipices ; systems
of mouiTtains aipsar by degrees wher
ever the level ground has rolled down to
auy enormous extent. Inaddition to these
external causes which change p'ateaus
into mouiitaius, slow transformations in
the interior of the earth are also being ac
complished, bringing "about vast esca
vatioire. Those hard-working men who,
hammer ia -hand, go for many years
among the mountains in order to study
their form and structure, observe in the
lower beds of marine formation, which
constitute the non-cryttalline portion of
the mountains, gigar.tic rtn's or tissures
extending thousands of yards irj length.
Masses millions of yards thick have been
completely raised up again by these
shocks, or turned as completely topside
down, so that what was formerly the sur
face has now become the bottom. And
in this way have been revealed the crys
talline recks. Plication, or folding, i
also an important feature in the history
of the earth. By this rocess, subjected
to slow press-lire, the rock, the clay, the
layers of sar.dstonp, the veins of metal,
have ail befn folded up like a piece of
cloth, and the folds thus formed become
mountains and valleys.
One of the most interesting features
in the study of mountains i-i the discov
ery of fossils, by which the natura'ist
accurately determines the age of roek.
Millions of these remains of animal and
vegetable life have been preserved. Of
course the tifsurs of flesh and drops of
blood or sap are gone, but in their stead
are pa; tides of stone which have kept
the form, and sometimes even the color,
of the creature destroyed. Within the
thickness of these stone3 are shells of
mollusks, dihks, spheres, spines, cylin
ders in astounding numbers ; we see the
skeletons of fish with their fins and
scales, the wing-sheaths of insects, and
even foot-prints ; upon the hard rock,
too, -which was formerly the shiit ng
sand of the beach, we find the impres
sion of drops of rain, and the inter
seoting ripple marks traced by wavelets
on the shore. These fossils which lived
miliums of years ago in the mud of
oceanic abys-ses are now met at every
mountain height. They are to be seen
on most of the Pyrenees, they constitute
whole Alps, they are r. cognized upon
the Caucasus and Cordilleras.
The weulth contained in mountains in
the shape of silver and gold ore and
precious stone . has ever been, like the
magic thread of the labyrinth, leading
miners and geologi-t-s into the depths of
their caverns. Formerly it was snf posed
to be an easy rnattor tn reach these
riches. All that a man needed wa3 what
was called "luck " and the favor of the
gods. Boldlizing some opportunity,
such as the rollriLg away of a stone from
a crevice, he hadViut to mutter some
magic words, crecpinto a dark passage,
and find himself beneath a vaultel ro '
jf crystals and diamonds ; he needed
but to stoop and gather the rubies be
neath his feet. Not by chance and
mngic do the miners of our day reac!
the rich veins of minerals. Study
and hard work are behind all the en
gineering skill which penetrates our
mountains.
When the summer is hero, and you go
forth with merry liearts and stout staven
to climb some "Saddleback " or "Mount
Tom," just stop and think of all the
wondeifnl things which happen to makf
a mountain ; and, as you glance up its
wooded sides, and see the clouds restinp
upon its summit, or behold the purple
hues of evening gathering about its ma
jestic form, remember "the hand that
made it ia divine." Hai-pei-'s Young
People.
How the Russians Keep Warm.
The Russians have a great knack of
making their winter pleasant. You feel
nothing of the cold in those tightly
built houses where all doors and win
dows are doubled, and where the rooms
are kept warm by big stoves hidden in
the walls. Th re is no damp in a Rus
sian house, and the inmates may dress
indoors in the lightest of garhs, -which
contrast oddly with the mass of furs and
wraps which they don when going out.
A Russian can afford to run no risk of
exposure when lie leaves the house for a
walk or drive, tie covers mr near! and
ears with a fur bonnet, his feet and legs
with felt boots lined witn wool or fur,
which are drawn over the ordinary boots
nd trousers, and reach up to the knees
he next cloaks himself in a torcoat with
fur collar, lining and cuffs ; he buries his
hands in a pair of fiugerles3 gloves of
seal or near skm. 1 1ms equipped, and
tti'h the collar of his coat raised all
around so thai it mnfiles him up to the
eyes, the Russian exposes only his nose
to the cold air; and he takes care fiv-
quently to give that organ a little rub to
keep the Circulation going. A stranger,
who ia . apt to forget the pre
f-aution, would often get his nose fro
zen if it were not for the courtesy of the
I'.usoians, wno will always wnru lnm it
they see his nose wiiiten:ng, and will,
unbidden, help him to chafe it vigorous
ly with snow. In Russian cities walk
ing is just possible for men during win
ter but hardly s for laches. The women
of the lower ord.r w-ar knee boot
those of the shopkeeping class seldom
venture out at all ; tnose of the aristoi
racy go out iu sleighs The sleighs are
liv no means pleasant vehicles for nerv
ous people, for the Kalmuck coachmen

; ii working classes are as well warmed
i.- th.ise of the aristocracy. A stove is
t: ays the principal item of furniture in

Born to Trouble.
We can never escape trouble ; we are
'.orn to affliction, and we may depend
: ou it, v line we live in tins world we
hall have it. though with intermissions :
hat is, in whatever state we are, we
.hall find a mixture of good and evil,
md, therefore, the true way to content
ment is to know how to receive these
certain vicissitudes of life the returns
of good and evil so as neither to be ex
al ted by the one. nor overthrow n by th
other, but to bear ourselves toward
everything which happens with such
ase and indifference of mind as to haz
ard as little as may be. Every pleasure
has its offsets ; once believe that fully,
.aid we are on the right track of thought.

TUB ADVANTAGES OF BEING A BOY.
At the Rah way (N. J.) grammar
school Adolph Jacobs, aged 13, com
posed and read the following composi
tion on " The Advantages of Being a
Boy:"
" A boy is generally born when he is
very youug, and gets to be a man before
his mother. A boy is not so skittish as
girl. He takes a mouse, which would
scare his sister half to death, and tie3 a
string ti its tail and swings it over his
head. Then he is in his glory, andlauuhs
at his sister, who is looking for a knot
hole to hide in. He , wears no lace bibs
or corsets, petticoats or skirts. A boy
possesses ten times more cheek than a
girl, but if he ever does any mischief he
owns up to it with a bright and smiling
face.' Girls are a great "cul of trouble
to their parents, who h - :o keep them
it a til somebody falls in love and marries
them. Not so with the boy he takes
.ares of horses, works iii f.Te mines and
raises Cain. All tha1: jdrlc- do for exei
cise is to make dolls' chemises and cro
chet work, while the boy, the spark of
-nankind, is putting up some job to play
on his teacher, or playing the glorious
game of baseball. Hurrah ! then, for
the boys. They are the standard-bearers
of the world !"

LATER ACTISO.
In the earlier part cf his career Ed
win Booth was accustomed to act Sir'
G les Overreach, Sir Edwaid Mortimer,
Pescara, and a number of othr parts of
the terrific order, which he has sinca
oiscardud. He was great in every one
of them. The first sound of his voice
w hen, as Sir Edward Mortimer, he was
aeard speaking off the Ecene, was eh-
qneut "of deep suffering, concentrated
w ill, and a strange, somber, formidable
character. The sweet, exquisite, icy,,
infernal joy with which, as Pescara, he
'old his rival that there should be "niu

lophia mind " had checked the hed-
ing currents of the heart, or curbo j
inagination in its lawless flight. And
hose parts not only admitted of bold
olor and extravagant action, but
demanded them. Even his Hamlet
was touched, with this elemental
fire. Not alone in the great junctures
of the tragedy the encounters with
the ghost the parting with Ophelia, the
Umax of the phry scene, the slaughter

ihowed itself, and here, of coarse, it wes

ut he used to do so then, and the rest

spirituality and the mountain air of great

uis Sir Giles was a consummate work of
genius as good then as it ever aitor

that has been seen since, not excepting
even that of Davenport. And in . all
kindred characters he showed himself ;
man of genius. His success was very
gredt. The admiration that he inspired
partook of zeal that almost amounted to"
eraziness. When he walked in the
streets of Boston, iu IS57, his shining
face, his compact figure and his elastic
step drew every eye, and people would
pause and turn in groups to look at him,.

It is not strange that no one sympa
thizes with a lawyer when he is over
thrown by a witness whom he is cross
examining. So many have suffs-red from
lawyers' sharp questions that they enjoy
seeing one of them fall. Daniel O'Con
nell once received a witty reply that
turned the laugh against him, from
witness whom he was cross-examining.
It was a case cf riot committed by a inc.W
of beggars, and the witness for the pros
ecutiou had represented the affair at
very serious :
"Pooh, pooh!" said O'Connell,
' now jus t tell the court how many there
were."
"Indeed, I never stopped to count
diem, your Honor, but there was a whose
"ribe of them."
" A whole tribe of them 1 Will yon
tell us to what tribe they belonged ?'
" Indeed, your Honor, that's -noi
than I can do at all ; but I think it t i
lave been the tribe of Dan 1 "

The pearl fishery on the coasV--Lower
California is an important indus
try, no less than 1,000 divers being em
ployed in bringing up the cos'ly black
pearl, which is found in a great state of
perfection in the deep waters of La Paz.
The pearl oysters are found from one to
six miles off sliore in water from one to
twenty-one fathoms deep. Merchants
provide hats, diving apparatus, etc., for
the prosecution of the business-, on con
dition that they can purchase all of the
pearls found at prices to be agreed upon.
These boats, which are usually of about
five tons burden, sail up and down tho
coast from May to November, searching
for the treasure. The product of a year's
work is about 500,000, estimating the
pearls at their first value. Of the en
tire yield of Mexican pearls, 10 per cent,
are white, 40 per cent, are blue, and 15
per cent, are black. The blue stones ero
of little value, and, in enertfl, the value
of pearls dtpc-nds a good deal upon the
fancy of the purchaser, as Ligh as 5,000
being sometimes paid for a siugle pearl.
