he town there is an old-fashioned village
which, according to immemorial tradition,
is the site of the temple of the god Odin,
•and that close to this village there are bhree
huge burrows or tumuli, which are popular-
ly known as the tombs of Odin, Thor, and
Balder. The two last were, of course sone
.of the chief deity of the Scandinavian
mythologe. Thor seems at some period of
his career to have visited Great Britain • at

however, as are the manifold legends and

subjects to believe implicitly at 'eau in the
existence of the sire of Thor and Balder since

Who was Wig? Was he a Berserker or a
Viking or a Skald? Had he anything to do
with Wigalois, who turns up in one of the
romances ot the minnesingers of the thin
Meath century? There was a Wigamur,
too, who was one of the* Knights of the
Round Table, and who came so very near
killing in a terrific oorabat of two the
doughty Prince P•rltriot, ignoring the fact
that his opponent was his own eating. A
closely similar incident is narrated by the
transatlantic Skald, Leland, in his account
of the exploits of Hans Breitmann during
the war in the south, only the prowess of
Breitmann is celebrated in aboub bwenty
stanzes, whereas the romance of Wigamur
absorbs 6,000 verses in black letter. On
the whole, we may consider the descent of
the hinge and -queens of the home of Han-
over from Odin as cerbain, and from Wig as
possible. Still, there may be a considerable

China is lioninn.
Chins, is jusbnow voluntarily underbaking
an enterprise whioh bids fair to have a more
important influence upon her destiny than
did the compulsory opening of her porbs to
British commerce nearly half a oentury ago.
After years of hesitation and agitation a,
decree has at tut been issued by the Emper-
or authorizing the construction of a railroad
from Pekin to liankow, a distenoe of about
700 miles. Hankow ie on the Yang.tee.
Kiang, some hundreds of miles from its
month. The avowed motive of this conces-
sion, so contrary to the ordinary course of
Chineae conservothun, is warlike rather than
commercial. The road is to be constructed
as a part of the great military system which
bhe empire is now busily engaged in develop-
ing and perfecting. Nevertheless, it is
hardly probable that: when the road is con-
etruoted and equipped its operations can
be oonfined to military purposes. The
beginning of railroad building into
the interior of a country like China
is like the letting out of water frorn a great
reservoir. The end, it may with some con-
fidence ke predicted, will be sooner or later,
and probably not very far ch ab lebeeb, the
opening up of that vest: country to foreign
travel and commerce. Whebher with al-
most revolutionary suddenness, as in the
ease of Japan, or by slow degrees, as in that
of China, the great nations of the East are
being aroused from the torpor of cen-
turies, and emulating the motivity and tur-
moil of ,Western life. It is not unlikely bhat
bhe nexb decade may prove to be a turning-
poinb in Chinese history. The pliable re-
sults to civilizetion and commerce of the
opening up by railroads of a country whioh
contains within its own borders a fourth or
third of the total population of the world,
furnishes room and material for unlimited
oonjuture. Nor, amongst other possibilities
to be taken into the account, osn those of
war and conquest be overlooked. There are
already sem predictions and perhaps some
indication that the leen, military policy of the
empire may bring it into conflict with west-
ern nations. A recent writer on Asiatic,
affairs goes so far as to hint that the nine.
beenth century may yet, before its close, see
the Chinese Empire divided between Russia
and Great Britain, the former taking the
northern the labter the southern moiety.
The improbability of such an event arises,
it must be confessed, not from the strength
or prowess of the Chinese themselvea or from
the lack of aggressiveness on the part of
Russia, bat solely from the peaceful tendon.
des of the British people of this generation.

baskets andcovered up with cotton or felt

fermentation. After it hes stood thus cov-
ered up for a certain thine it is taken out
and "fired." This firing is one of the most
importanb of ail the proomea and requires
great skill and eare. The Indian planter is
most particular to see that only the very
best hard wood charcoal is need and that
the tea is so oonsbantly turned over arab
there is no chancre of any of it getbing burn-
ed. A single basket of burned leaf will
spod a whole "break." In %dna they often
make the tea "smoky" by using ill made

with soft woods like fir and pine. The
"tarry" flavor, ib is said, will not develop
until long arter the tea has left China, and
some wabera bring It o et more disagreeably

have to be carefully watched while the sieve
is over the fire, and after about five or six
minutes they are removed and rolled. As
the balls of leaves come out of the hands of
the roller they are placed in a heap on the
floor and when all have been thus mentor'
a.ted they are shaken on to the sieve again
and get over the fire for a fevr minutes

and fired a third time until the leaves have
assumed the right dark color. When the

placed thickly in the baskets and again put

with his hand through the centre of the
masa so AB to allow vent to the heat as well
as to any smoke or vapor from the charcoal,
and he then covers it over with a flea basket.
The hub of the fire is now reduced, and
the tea is allowed to remain over it until
perfectly dry. It has to be constantly
watched and frequently stirred to insure
equal heating. When the firing is done the

In India, however, another process for fir•
ing tea has been introduced of late years.
It is called a "sirocco," and is a machine
for applying hot air, which is superseding
the charooai process. Ib is rapid in its work
and is said to be superior in many ways.
The leaf is laid on wircoganze trays, whioh
are passed through the hot-air maohine at a
temperature of 300 degrees, and in from
fifteen to twenty minutes the tea is then
oughly fired. It is then placed in the "sift

either a lateral or rotary motion, and the
different grades are sifted out, suoh as dust,

The Art of Prolongink Life.
Somewhat different advice moat be
given with regard to bodily exercises in
their reference to longevity. Exercise is
essential to the preservation of health; inac-
tivity is a potent cease of wasting and
degeneration. The vigor and equaliby of
the circulation, the functions of axe skin,
and the aeration of the blood, are all pro-
moted by muscular activity, which thus
keeps up a proper balance and relation
between the important organs or the body.
In youth, the vigor of the system is often
so great that if one organ be sluggish
onother part will make amends for the
deficiency by acting vicariously, and with-
out any consequent damage ro itself. In
old age, the tasks cannot be thus shif b.
ed from one organ to another; the work
allotted to each suffioieztly taxes its
strength, and vicarious motion cannot be
performed without mile:thief. Hence the
iroportanoe of maintaining, as far as possi-
able, the tquable aohion of all the bodily
organs, so that the share of the vibel pro-
cesses assigned to each shall be properly
accomplished. For. this reason exercise is
an important part of the conduct of life in
old ago; but disoretion is absolutely neces-
sary. An old man should discover by ex-
perienoe how muoh exeroise he can take
without exhausting his powers and should
be careful never to exoeed the limit. Old
persons are apt to forget that their staying
powers are mucla less bhan they once were,
and that, while a walk of two or three
miles may prove my and pleasurable, the
addition of a return journey of similar
length will gerioualy overeax the strength.—
