Its Rous.. Were Dwarf?, Squalid Struct ures .ml Ussiljr Pulled Down—The Cll- m.tc T W«» Colder anil More Un- be*rafr»u—Famine and Pestilence. Who can rebuild before the eye of the mind n single ordinary dwelling of the vanished London of the middle of the Thirteenth century? It was a dwarfish, squalid structure of inch crazy unsub- stantiality that, with a stont iron crook and two strong cords, provided by the ward, it migb be pnlled down and dragged off speedily in case of fire: a structure of one story jutting over a low ground floor, with another jnt of eaves above, its roof perchance engrailed with gables, its front bearing an odd re semblance to the back of a conple of huge stairs, and the whole a most rick, ety, tumbledown, top heavy, fantastical thing. Chimneys were fairly in vogue then, so it had them—squat, square, wide mouthed, faced with white plaster, red tiles or gray pebble work. Red tiles covered its roof. Its walls were rough planed planks or a wooden framework filled with a composite of straw and clay, buttressed with posts and crossed this way and that with snp porting beams, the whole daubed over with whitewash, of which the weather soon made graywash. (n front was a stairway—sometimes covered, sometimes not—or a stepiadder set slantwise against the wail for an entrance to the upper story. The doorways were narrow and low, the windows also, and the latter, dark ened with overbrows of wooden shut ters, propped np from beneath and sticking ont like long, slender awnings, were farther darkened by sashes of parchment, linen or thin shaved born, for glass came from Flanders, and was costly and rare. ROMANTIC BUILDING. Snch. joint and seam and tile being loosene4 into crack and cranny and crev ice everywhere, was the dwelling of the London citizen as the eye might see it in the middle of the Thirteenth centnry. Multiply that dwelling into a tortuous and broken perspectiveof like buildings, some joined by party walls, some with spaces between, all pent roofed or gable peaked, heavy eaved, stnb chimneyed, narrow latticed, awning shuttered, stair cased, post buttressed, beam crossed, dusky red roofed, dingy white walled, and low nnder the overhanging rnstness of the sky, and yon hare an ancient Lon don street, which shall be foni and nar row, with open drains, footways rongbly flagged and horseway deep with slnsby mire, overetrewn with ashes, shards and offal, and smelling abominably There were indeed at that period, thinly interspersed here and there, houses of somewhat better description, solidly bnilt of stone and timber, thuugb at best strangely' deficient in comfort and convenience, according to the fash ion of that most inconvenient and an- comfortable age. Hero and there, too, for thaw were the times of the feudal soldier and priest, rose in dreadful beau teous contrast with the squalid city the architectural grandeur of church r.ad cathedral, or tho stately house or palace of bishop or earl. Bat all around stretched dwellings which onr poorest modern bonse excels, and on those dwellings all evils and discomforts that can befall had their quarry. Light came dim and sunshine dimly glimmering into their darkened rooms. Sommer heats mode ovens of them. The old gray family of London fogs rose from tho marshes north of the city walls, from the city’s intersecting rivnlets, from the Thame* below, and crept in at every opening to make all dark and chill within. Down their squat chimneys ■wept the smoke, choking and blinding. Rains snch as even rainy Englnnd knows sot now soaked them through for weeks together. | A TERRIBLE PICTURE. - Cold snch aa English winters have for gotten now pierced with griping blast and silent sifting snow to their shiver ing inmates. Foul exhalations from the filthy streets hnng nronnd them an air of poison, or rising from the cesspools, of which every honse had one within, discharged themselves In deadly mala dies. Lightnings stabbed their roofs or rent their walls, hnnting for those they sheltered. Conflagration, larking in a spark, npspread iu dragoonish flame and roared through them devouring. Whirlwind swept through them howl ing, and tossed them dowu by fifties. Pestilence breathed through them in re curring seasons, and left their rooms agbqst with corpses. Civic right or in testine war stormed often near them and brought them death and sorrow. Fam ine arose every few years and walked through them on his way to England, leaving their tenants lean and pale, or lifeless Often into them broke the midnight robber, singly or in gangs: often to them cpme the gatherer of taxes or of tithes; upon them bang per petually all the bloodsuckers, every vampire which an age of ignorance and tyranny coaid spawn, and in them herded fiendish bigotries, crazy tnper- stltions. Brutish illiteracy, and all that darkens and depraves the sonL For that Was the mournful midnight of oar mortal life centuries ago The old, sod stare that governed onr con dition* still kept their forceful station abova the brawl or brutal and internal dreams; and one alone, now risen from Ueber’s east, bnng dewy bright with the world’s hope and promise, while science, builder of life that is holy,. beautiful and gay, was Ont a wondrons new born child in Roger Bacon's cell, dreaming of things to come. —Atlantic Monthly. The Laborer Should Be Bonoied. Tho real dignity of labor is well sym bolized and set forth In those single acts at the beginning or end of a great work which represent to the imagination the whole enterprise. The corner stone of a great building is generally laid by some official digni tary who, in an unaccustomed apron and with a trowel which he uses clum sily, makes a pretense of doing the actual work of patting the stone In place. Crowds stand uhont to witness the work, and orations are tnado and hymns snng. The knocking away or the prop which sends a vessel off the ways and into the water is an event of eqaal consequence and interest, because it represents the noble task of constructing a great ship When one of the greatest engineering works of all time was completed—the construction of the Pacific railroad—it was regarded as a great honor to drive the last spike that bonnd the last rail to the earth: and the spike which served at least temporarily for the work was made of silver. Emperors, kings and presidents start with their own hands the machinery of great industrial exhibitions, themselves typical in a high degree of the import ance of manual labor. In a certain sense it tvonld be more fitting that these ceremonies, which con centrate into a single instant's act long periods of hunl labor, should be per formed by one of the real workingmen who are engaged upon the enterprise. It is they who do the work, and they might well claim that the honor of the key ceremony belongs to them. This was what was done, indeed, when the first blow of the pick was struck in the construction of the bnildings for the World's fairof 1893 at Chicago.—Youth’s Companion. Where Gold Goes To, A considerable part of all the gold which goefto India never returns. Hav ing been obtained in the west by the sale of exported productions, it is retained in the east ns realized profits, wealth stored np, and to a moderate extent for nse in the arts, for the rest as a representative of value on the credit of which traders bny and sell with the bills of exchange they issue and the book credits they open, and settle up the differences with the silver money of the country. But the vast stock of gold accumulated there undergoes no diminution. There is no ebb and flow under the reciprocal action which commerce enforces in the case of countries trading together on a common metallic basis. The three mill ions sterling (or thereabout) of gold bnll- ion which India anuunlly adds to her store are, nnder the monetary law of that country, just as much lost to the nations of the west, by being with drawn from the general commerce of the world, as if the money bad been lent to a Sontb American republic. Between the years 1835 and 1889 (April) this depletion amounted in value to £130,293.758. Between that date and the month of September, 1890, a further accumulation, to the valne of £5,009,- 272, took place, bringing this portion of the gold treasure of Indin Up to a valno exceeding £135,250,000. — Blackwood's Magazine.

I cannot recollect having ever met a man of more peculiarly striking appear ance than Mr. tbsen. He reminded me to a certain extent of those fabulous, creatures the gnomes, who play sncli an important part in Scandinavian myth ology, and are vividly described in the old songs of the Edda. He is a man of less than medium size, bnt very heavily set. The npper part of his body is very large in proportion to Ills lower limbs, bnt still small in comparison with that immense bead, which, with its bashy hair, white os snow, overtowers the compact bodily frame. A heavy beard of tbe same color wonld encircle the face if it was not for tbe fact that tbsen keeps his chin shaven, a dis tinction also enjoyed by tho npper lip. 1 wonder if Mr. Ibsen knows that by wearing his beard in the manner de scribed he shows a very strong chin and mouth of classic delineation. Irresist ible is tho chann of his eyes, which are of a deep bine, like the color of the sea on tho shores of Ills beautiful native north land.—Louisville Courier-Journal. TBttTMEN Da, E. C.
