PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Word art not arrows, but they fly lartber. Man believes himself always greater tiinn lie is, and Is esteemed leas tlian than he la worth. Too many people are Ringing, "Heat ter suushlne," mid waiting fur Home body elae to do it. The man who flgnrea on marrying n heiress ofton fluda he isn't well up in matbematica. f Foople aetdom love those who with aland thnlr prejudices, mid who on dearer to control their passions. Love of reading enables a man to exchange the weary houra which come to every one for hours of delight.

On Pull of Cli.nr, Cold Water, but It Is Now Too Hot to lln Horn. At a recent meeting of the British ueogrnpuiual society in Loudon, Air. II. I. II. Cavendish described his dis covery of a strange volcanic lake dur ing his explorations in Homaliland. The curious hike lies about thirty runes due soutn ironi Luke llmloir. Its shores are very barren, entirely in closed by mountains, and there nre -three islands, apparently qnite barren. near the east shore. It ia fed by two rivers. What water thore is in this lake is exceedingly hot, and near the north end, where a smouldering vol cano is situated, it as hot as one would like to wash one's hands in, but thore is no Bonn mine near to supply another luxury or travel. f The volcano will probably be named Andrew, at Mr. Cavendish's sugges tion, in honor of his companion. The nativos say that the lake was once full of clear, cool water, but that qnite recently the volcano commenced its destruction. Now the ruudhauks about it mark the receding water, and the former hike-bed is composed of bliiok innd, very deep and hot, but with a hard crust over the surface. One boy whom the leaders happened to send in after a wounded hSpuiiish flamingo sank through this crust and scalded his foot so badly that the fol lowing day his toe-nails came off. The former high-water marks along the shore are strewn with a mass of fish, bones and skeletons of fish, large and small, evidently killed when the water was heated. The dried-up portions of the lake are crusted, with salt, and on the borders there are solid mounds of salt. There are one or two wells of fresh water near the lake, and many sites of old villages whicn had been deserted on account of tha fire mountain, which ia still active. PatagonUn Giants. - The tribes to the east of the Cor dilleras in southern Patagonia belong to Araucanwn stock, and are a su perior rare. The Tebnelches as they call themselves of southern and eastern Patagonia are the people whose nnnsual stature gave rise to the fables of early days to the effect that the natives of this region were giants, averaging nine or ten feet in height It is a fact that they are the tallest human beings in the world, the men averaging but slightly less than six feet, wbileUndividnals of four to aiz inches above that mark are not un common. They are in reality by no means savages, but somewhat civilized barbarians. They are almost unac quainted with the use of firearms, not withstanding some contact with the whites, but they have plenty of horses and dogs. Unsurpassed hunters they capture the gusnooo and the rhea, or South American ostrich, and from the akins of these and other animals they mate clothes and coverings for their tents'. They make beautitnl 'capes" or tnantlea.
