In walking about Antwerp, writes a

Among the many odd and intorost
inir structures in this older part of
Antwerp ono of tho most important,
historically and architecturally, is the
most ancient "Steon," whoso grim
walls and Hanking corner towers ori
ginally formed a portion of the antique
castle. In tho history of tho city it
has played a tragic part, for it was
here that 1'hllllp II. located the seat
of tho inquisition during thoso terrible
six years that tho duko'of Alva estab
lished a tyranny in tho low countries,
.which for extent and ferocity is al
most unparalleled in history. Tho
blood that was shed by orders 'emana
ting from the dread interior of thoso
dark, unohnritnbWi stones was not in
vain; it brought upon tho Spaniards
mo revolt oi mo province1), tho loss
of tho Netherlands, and tho loss of tho
Dutch republic. The building is now
used as a museum of antiquities, the
collection including weapons, armor,
fragments of old buildings, and an
cient furniture from tho liftoenth to
tho eighteenth conXuries. And no I
passed tho day, tramping about the
busy thoroughfares, looking up at
massive and venerable buildings, in
specting tho "Porto do l'Esonnt," an
ancient gateway embellished with
sculpture., admiring tho many bronze
statues of poets, painters, and heroes
that beautify tho city, and iu driving
through dark, narrow, winding streets,
lined with dirty and repulsive houses,
though bearing on their facades thoso
quaint facial expressions peculiar to
the houses fronting on the buck streets
In all Europoan towns. Among the
many publio and pnyato buildings
visited that day not the loast interest
ing was tho richly decorntod dwolling
of Hubens, nlauned by himself, and
though nearly throe centuries old a p.
pours as if erected within a fow years.
Here Rubens spent tho happiest yours
of his life, surrounded by his treas

People Who Buy Pots.
"What sorts of people aro most for

"Such & variety of pej-sous like

Tlioro is, howover, a certain objoct
attempting to discover tlio ap-
iroximato law of increase of tempera-
tiro witli deptli. In 1871 a roport
was presented to parliament from"the
ommisionors anno. mod to inquire in-
o tho several mutters rolatinc to coal
in the United Kingdom." Tho com
missioners took the eminently practi
cal view that, "looking to possiblo ox-
lodicnts which the future may elicit
or roducing the temperature, thoy
considered that it might bo fairly ns
sumod that a deptli of at least 4,000
loot micht be reached." At this
lopth the temperature probably ox
oeeds 122 docrees Fahrenheit. As to
ts "reduction," it is to be remember
ed that the heat, whatever it be, is not
that of the air alone, but that of the
urtli on mid within which the minor
has to stand or lie; aud that, as
to "reducinc" it, it Is fed from
reservoirs of tho capacity of the
globe.
At tho tomporaturo of tho blood,
which is 98 decrees Fahrenheit, con

Hut lone before the impossible is at

,800 feet. Far within this limit, in
the Monkwoarmouth mines, at a depth
of 1,010 foot, shortor hours are requir

The Russian Peasantry
1 can see many sigils of chango and
Francisco Chronicle. For centuries
tho Russian peasant had scarcely any
Idea of uorsonal liberty. He was
liablo to be worked to death, to bo un
lawfully and excessively taxed, to be
torn from his family and sent into tho
army or tobiueria, and to see his child
ren similarly treated. In 17G8 a Rus
sian serf-owner, a woman, was con
dieted of liavinc done to death by in
human torturos during a course of ton
ycars.no less than one hundred of her
serfs, amonc them several younc cirls
of not over 12 vears of aco. Another
fouialo iiond pricked a boy to death
with a pen-knifo becauso ho had
neglected to feed her rabbits. All
this is now changed. The serfs have
become independent of their lords,
whoso authority Is replaced by com
munal self-government, Tho rural
communes havo gradually acquired
tho lands formerly held by tho nobles,
and havo distributed thorn among the
families which compose the commune
with great impartiality and duo re
gard to their several claims and abili
ties. Tlio nobles have not failod to
accommodato themselves to tho
change. Formerly thoy passed thoir
lives in idleness, gambling and sen
suality, despising commerce and lind
ing tnoir only careor in the army.
Since the emancipation many of thorn
have become practical farmers and
others have gone into businoss or into
the legal profession and helped swell
rising middlo class. The peasant lias
of late years fallen heir to now privi
leges and now duties. Tho adminis
tration of justice has greatly improved,
and trial by jury bus usurped tho
place of tho nobles' liat. Tho peas
ants mako very good jurymen, i'hey
aro uneducated, but do not lack
in shrewdness and common sonse.
