A metain mínistor was to proach in a church in Edinburgh after the lapse of neveral joars, during which he had becoso.mpcb stouter. Be- ing akortsighted, he required to have the Bible placed rather higher than was usual, and exprena- nd the hope that the pessary arrangements had been attended to.

Rossini's remains are to be rozaoved from Père Lachse and interred in Santa Croce, the, Want- Tainster Abbay of Finroute and Italy. It is usalass to argue with bero worshippers, who per haps intend this tardy apotheosis as an Itiliari protest against the Tentonio horass of Wagnerian; but the fat, abby, and senecons ON face of Rossini will scarcely show to advantage beside the monuments of Dante and Michel Angelo. If he had oven boon. a Florentins the | ON juxtaposition would have been less incongramus. On the other hand, Pere Lachaise, that ansmo- politan City of the Dond, seems the fitrost possi- ble resting placa for the Hebrow melodist.

The approaching American Exhibition st Earl's Court has already been christened "The Yezkeries." Here is an asconat of the origin of the word "Yankee." When the Pilgrim 1ON Fathers landed on Plymouth Rock, the friendly Indians Baked of what pacule they wore. The reply was," English," But the red man sould not wist his tongue round that word, and "Yongossa" was as near as he could get to it.
In a very short time, and by a tatural and ensy transition, "Yougoess" bename transformed into "Yankees," The use of this word also is peculiar,

Natural gas now in general uso as faol in Pittsborg, is distributed in pipes, in sizes vary. ing from 3inches to 30 snakes. There are over 500 miles of those pipas, of which 232 miles within the city limits. The Philadelphia Com- pany being the largest supplier of gas, its mode of distribution may be of interest. The maiz pipe, 30 inches in diamoter, forms the backbone of the city system, which decreases by a 20-inch and a 16-inch pipe, from which low pressur
laterals are run to furnish the domestic apply. There are twenty-one stations on this system, from which the pressure of all connecting lines can be controlled bonely, day and night, by valvas regulated to meet the varying demands.

The sting is really a skilfully contrived little trowel, with which the bee finishes off and caps the sells when they are filed brimful of honey: This explains why hoany extracted before it is capped over done not keep well.
