"Starting from a small spot in my brain the pain would steadily Increase until it seemed that my head would split Open.

The first case of blaek rain which conies under review occurred at Ura hamstown and the surrounding dis trict In August. IS.HS. and it extended over an area of no less than 360 square miles, says Chambers' Journal. Since then there have happened several showers of a similar description, but less pronounced in their sable charac ter. Other showers of black rain have been recorded in Ireland, one of which was felt over an area of 400 square miles. No one seems to have microscopically examined the water which fell at Gra hamstown, but it was noted that the liquid gradually cleared when placed in a suitable vessel, and a black pre cipitate fe'. from it. In the latter cases referred t*> the deposit has been care fully examined and was found to con sist of microscopic organisms, which averaged about the twelve thousand five hundredth part of an inch In length, and which were identified with the same fungoid organisms that are responsible for blight in the plants which they infest and subsequently for smut, mildew and rust in wheat and barley. The writer sums up h!s t marks thus: "Humidity is known to contrib ute largely to the copious production of fungi, and during protracted drought the regions affected thereby will re main comparatively bare of fungi, but during the seasons of frequent rain falls the production «»f a fungoid vege tation is largely increased." St. Helena. St. Helena is a great place for caves and hills. Both alwund. particularly the latter. Geologically speaking, the island is largely, if not wholly, vol canic, and a lot of extinct craters are apparent. Some of the pinnacles have queer names, such as Lot's Wife, the Man and the Horse, the Asses' Bars, Holdfast Tom, Old Joan Point, Stout- Top. etc. The only inhabited place Is James town, which has a population of about 2,.">00. It lies in a deep valley sur rounded by very high hills. It is not a particularly healthy place. Ladder hill is where the government house is situated. It is so called because of the almost precipitous ladderlike wooden stairs, by which its acclivity of GOO feet has to be scaled. Nearly four miles inland from James town is an isolated farmhouse, on an elevated plateau about 2,000 feet above the sea. This is Longwood, where Na poleon lived from 1815 until he died there. In 1821. The house is a long, low, whitewashed, fairly trim building, with extensive outhouses, some rather fine old trees :ind a good bit of decent farm laud. Oiaek Coat a. An English clergyman, rather i>om pous of manner, according to Spare Moments, was fond of chatting with a witty chimney sweep. Once, when the minister returned from his summer holidays, he happen ed to meet ills y.outliful acquaintance, who seemed to have been at work. "Where have you been?" asked the clergyman. "Sweeping the chimneys at the vic arage," \. as the boy's answer. "How many chimneys are there, avd how much do you get for each?" was the next question. The sweep said there were 2<> chim neys and that he was paid a shilling apiece. The clergyman, after thinking a mo ment, looked at the sweep in apparent astonishment. "You have earned a great deal of money in a little time," he remarked solemnly, wondering, probably, what the sooty fellow would reply. "Yes," said the sweep, throwing his bag over his shoulder as lie started | away. "We who wear black coats get our money very easily!" Ponr Consolation. The following story is told in "The I Recollections of Sir Algernon West:*' One pom lug wet night Lowe missed his umbrella from the cloakroom in the house of commons, where he bad care fully put it away under the letter "Ij." lie interrogated the custodian, i Mr. Coe, who told him Sir E.
