THE LIVING EARTH

In a paper published In the " Indian Fnglneer," an illustration Is given of the life that dwells m nature, the phenomenon of earthquakes being cited. The peculiar terror of an earthquake lies mainly m the suddenness of its approach. Volcanic eruptions are usually preceded by vast rumblings, or jets of Bteam, or other uamlßtakeable tokens. Hurricanes and cyolones m like manner, havo heralds that announoo their coming. But with an earthquake there are no premonitory symptoms The groat earthquake w> i e took place at Lisbon In th > year 1755, found the peop'e engaged In tuoir ordiu»r^ oconpationß. All the shocks were over m about five minutes. The first shock lasted about six seconds. In that brief space of time most of the houseß had been thrown down, and thousands of men, women, and children crushed beneath tho rulnß. At times the ocean lends fresh terrors to the ■oene. Thus at Lisbon a wave of water over 60 feet high rushed m among the housep, and covered what still remained. In the isl»nd of Jamaica on a (similar occasion t« o thousand five hundred housts wtra burled m three minutes under 30 feet of water. Recent delloate scientific experiments have closed the fact that tke surface of tho land is never absolutely at reat for more than thirty hours at a time. Thus those great earthquakes which make epochs m history are merely extreme oaaai of forces that seldom sleep.

A VICTORIAN HEIRESS.

On September 9ih an order waa made In Melbourne, by content, by whiok the trustees of the estate of the late W. Grant were direoied to hand over to hi« daughter, Besele Susan Grant, the sum of £80,003. There is a little story about this young lady and her fortune, which only oame to light when the order was made. In 1874 Mr William Grant, who was a quartz crusher at Stawell, died leaving a very considerable sum of money behind htm. A handsome annuity wai left to his widow, and the sum of £800 to the children of his brother, the late Hon. J M. Grant, the residue to be divided between his own two children. Since the death of Mr Grant hii widow and one of the ohildren have died, and some time ago a suit was commenced by the survivor, Mlbb Beasie Susan Grant, to have the eatata administered under the direction of the Oourt. While this suit fu progressing this fortunate young lady was travelling on the continent ; and, while In Paris, she found the sum allowed her by the trustees was quite In sufficient, She wanted she said, to lay lv a stock of dresses while m Paris, m order that she might show to advantage at the Governor's ball upon her return to Melbourne, and the young lady finished op by asking his Honor what he thought the trustees knew about <* feminine instincts." His Honor did not deal with this epistle, being on the point of retiring, bat handed It over to Mr Justice Webb, bis successor on the Equity Benoh. Judge Webb refused to take any steps m the matter, but s*id that if the young lady wanted any large allowtaoe, she should apply to the oourt In the proper way. However a few months ago Miss Grant attained her majority, and has now oome into full pos session of the sum of £80,000.

THE DUKE OF EDIN BURGH AND HIS WIFE

The marked coldneas with which tha Dake of Edinburgh was trtated, nut only by the people, bat also by his relatives, daring the recent Jubilee festivities m London, has aroused mo eh comment, and it Traa noted that not a single member of the royal family considered it worth hia while to be present at the railway depot when he left England on his return to Malta. It appears that m addition to hit numerous obj =ctioaabl« and unpleasant habits the Duke has lately taken to heavy drinking, a fact which has served to render the relations between the Duchess and her husband even more than usually strained. The Imperial lady is far from being as ungracious as popular report and her somewhat glum appearance would suggest, and is m reality a kind-hearted and singularly seDslWe woman, with what may be politely termed an extraordinary firmness of disposition. She is the only one of the Qaeen'i daughters-in-law who, on account of her wealth and exalted rank by birth and character, Is able to stand her ground or meet Her Majesty on eqaal terms. The Qjeen has * great respect and even lilting for her Russian daughter-in-law. When the latter arrived In Ecgland after her marriage the sovereign so far exerted herself as to greet her son's bride at the railway station, instead of waiting for her In the Oastle— an unheard of attention and one that produced its effect. The only painting whioh hangs m the Queen's private breakfast room at Windsor, be sides a portrait of the iate Prince Conic rt, is an excellent picture of the Duoheas by Angeli The name of " Mario "ia far more frequently on Her M; je«ty' 8 li pB than that of the Princees of Wales, who doas not stand high m thd Queen's favor, and the old lady is repotted to enjoy nothiDg more than to liaten to the racy and slightly aoid descriptions of mutual acquaintauc- 1 as given by her Kussian daughter-in-law, even occasionally becom ing quite quizzcal herself. It moat, however, be added that the two ladies scarcely see enough of each other to get on bad termß.— Correspondent "flew xork World,"

A MODERN HEROINE

♦-— If the days of chivalry are past, it ia not bo with thoaa of heroism. Apart alto gether from the silent Belf-tacrifioe which is the unregarded lot of no many, there are, every now and then, more startliog Instance! of the same virtne, associated with physical rather than with mental suffering. One of these cases has juat been met with at Liverpool, and In the person, moreover, 0/ a woman— a woman who is both a wife and a mother. Her name ia Atkinson, and the occasion of ncr heroism was as follows:— She wai leaving a cricket ground, after bavins cleaned on t the pavilion, when sudd' there arose acy of ' Mad dog ' ' .» cricket ground with her wer* " nl y men and two children—- ' -fa the her. The men, it f a oonple of m. flight behiof* all strangers to woman did v ..ems, Bcught safety roohedtc „ the barricades. The to th' so ignominious. She , the children, and, shouting om to run, succeeded m Intyrpoßing them and the dog, wblxfn se'z^d her by the hand. Than ensued a fierue struggle betwebn the woman and her assai lant— a< Btroggle In the ocurso of which she extricated her hand, bat instantly felt tho teeth of the beaat fixed In her breast. In the end two jponng men oame to the rescue, and the animal flad, leaving Mrs Atkinson terribly wounded and weakened. Puch la the story told In a local paper by tyro persona who sfgn their names and appear to be certain of the facto. ■ Hollowav'b Pills and Ointment.— Soldiers and Sailors. — These well-known and easily used remedies are OBpeoially serviceable and convenient for those who, like soldiers and sailors, are exposed to great changes of climate, and the hardships inseparable from their calling.
