Galleries In the Rork and Thnlr Co, The Una Dividing Koglan 1 From Span ish U: " Worth Front" and Its Doings. The rr-ck of G'.braltar is pierced toward its sonthcrn part, at 1.109 feet above Uio level of the sea, with numer ous excaTations that form a complete network of natural galleries s pro found and intricate that, though they hare often ben explored, the extrem ity of them has nevi-r boan discoTered. From place to p!ac those galleries broaden out into vast halls, the vaults of which, supported by natural pillars, are formed of stalactites that throw out a thousand rays at the least light. The best known and the most accessi blethe Grotto of St. Michael reached by an almost imperceptible entrance, and which, a few feet from its opening, forms an immense ha'.l 220 .feet long and 66 feet high, is the plac often chosen by the authorities of Gib raltar when they wish to honor a dis tinguished guest, to offer him a lun cheon, a dinner, or a fete. To this network of natural gallertes. which at certain places serve for am munition magazines, the English at the north flank of the rock, which forms a perpcndtQuIar wall 1.500 feet high, have joined the two celebrated artiu- eial galleries hollowed out by convicts during the siege of 1780. which, one above the other, shelter the most famous batteries in the world. From a military view, however, these batteries have lost rmich of their value since the recent progress in modern artillery. Guns t the largest caliber can not be used because of the severe shwk given ly the detonation to this ptrt of the roc-k. A few years ago, while one of the batteries was firing a salute during a strong wind-storm, a burning piece of tow was blown into the interior, which ignited a calssou of ammunition, the explosion of which blew the gun and the artillerymen out through the em brasure. Since that time these batteries are used with great precaution. They remain the principal attraction at Gibraltar, the great object of interest for tourists. The tipper gallery, where all the batteries are covered, is easily visited, but with a permit from the military authority aud under the con duct of an artilleryman. The Interior gallery, where most of the batteries are uncovered, is less accessible to the public. To enter it a special permit is necessary from the Governor, which is obtained only in very exceptional cases. The narrow tongue of land that unites Gibraltar to Spain is about 1.100 yards wide by 2,200 yards long. It is a plain of sand, destitute of vegeta tion, save a few aloe trees. It is divid ed in Its length into two nearly equal parts. The one that adjoins the rock belongs to the English, who call it the "North frout," This is where the reviews take place, the exercises of the garrison, the horse races; and here, too, is the cemetery and the abattoir where are slaughtered the meager Morocco catllo eaten by the inmates of the fortress. A line of English senti nels, posted 150 feet apart and easily recognized at a distance by the white umbi-clhia fixe I in the sand, under which they shelter themselves from the ,n, indicates the limits of English soil. From that point to the Spanish frontier it Is neutral groum', on which no one, not even a civilian, is permitted to set foot At its othct extremity a line of intrenchmonts fallen into ruin marks the Spanish line. It is guarded by a eordot of sentinels, and day and night the English and Spanish soldiers, sepa rated by a distance of 1,500 feet pace back and forth, eyeing each other as sharply as if their countries were at war. During the day the "North front" Is the tivclicst place in Gilbraltar, for in the city, hung like a ladder against the western sido of the rock, there are no level surfaces. All the exercises dear to th3 English, like polo, tennis, and cricket, can find the necessary space only in this exterior field. From morn ing till uight this plain, then, is the theater of all English activity. The spectacle, on the Queen's blrth Jav especially, is always imposing. In l.o afternoon of this day tho 7.000 men composing the garrison leave the city to be reviewed on the North front. At two o'clock the Governor departs at tended by his stafll A platoon pre cedes him comprising twenty officers in brilliant red uniform on horseback. A few foet in their rear a handsome squad of Amazons follow composed of their wives and daughters, authorized by enstom to pass in review with titpir fathers and husbands. When the Governor places himself in front of the troops the bands strike up '"God Save the Qieen," the solders present arms, the officerf make the military salute, and the spec tators, uncovered, remain ; silent and motionless. A i battery placed 1,500 feet above their heads at the sum mit of the north side of the rock fires a salvo to which all of the Interior batteries respond. After various evolutions the troop return, to the city and deposit their arms in their barracks. when they are at l.betty to spend the rest of the day as they please. The taverns are crowded, and the amount of brandy swallowed is Incalculable. incalculable also the number of "drunks" met with after dark on the streets. For these there are special provisions. Each of the post in the city and on the rock is provided with a kiuU or sentry-box, and when a red coat too much under the influence of drink passes in sight of one of these posts the officer or sub-officer calls two of his men, who lay hold of k!m with out violence and guide hi staggering steps to the box where he is allowed to sleep off the fumes of his brandy nnth morning. The next day there are dis tributed some fines and sentences in the guard-house, and then every thing resumes its usual course. Brandy Ls the weakness of the English, and it greatly increases the mortality of the garrison. All that succumb die of the same disease, a kjnd of cerebral fover that the English call rock fever, but that the natives correctly call brandy fever. Every thing on this rock partakes of the military. One is awakened by the sound of cannon each morning as soon as the rising of the sun gives the signal for th-j opening of the great gate. The same cannon at sunset signals its clos ing. These two firings of a gun are always regular, but they are net the only o ics that are hoard in the course of a day or night, for everything that happens out of .the usual course, who; her on the rock or around the rock, is signaled by a cannon. This cannon, which became inevitably a comptnhjn of thn existence o every one living on the rock, is in a battery at the summit of the rock about the middle of its length, at the foot of a mast from which flies a signal flag thai whenever the gun is fired, tells what it is firs?d for. The most frequently it is" to warn the 9panish coast-guard out of English waters. Sometimes it is a fire tha signal indicates its location. Precautior- are st well taken, and the pumps no expeditiously handled, that a fire is very speedily extinguished. Sometimes it is the rock itself that burns. Though it is b ire, so to sp;ak, a vegetation grows in the spring that Is soon parched by the sun, for from April to November it never rains in Gibraltar. Oace or twice during the summer this growth takes Ere probably through the carelessacsi of smokers. When this occurs the ex citcm )nt Is great, for the rock is scat tered over with powder magazines, and water in large qu tntitit-s, except at the base of the rock, is hard to get- The entire garrison is sometimes employed in fighting these Lres for forty-eight hours. Gibraltar, besides its garrison of 7.000. has 15,000 inhabitants. For a fortress of. such small extent this population is embarrassing. Ths civilians are everywhere Sacrificed t; the military. Ia the village ami on the rock tha bast places are occupied by barracks. Every thing that serve the needs of defense, the health and com fort of the troops, is admirably looked after. From top to b tSom the rouk is furrowed with excellent roads, and in the city the streets are marvelous ly cleaned and well kept. The sewerage system is perfect, and ga? and water abound everywhere. But the civil population is shut up in a very restricted space, most of the houses are hovels, whose existence is subject to the caprice of the military, for, above all, nothing must interfere with the firing of the batteries. Not a new building has been constructed for twenty years, for all the available land was built on long ago. These fifteen thousand inhabitants, born on the rock ind called by the English "rock -scorpions," are, according to law, subjects of the British Government, as born on English soil. Ther have the right to live where they were born. No one can expel them, but everything is done to fetter the development of the civil population, and, above all, to prevent the formation of a foreign colony. A foreigner can enter Gibraltar only with a permit valid for twenty-four hours. At the holder s request it msy be ex tended three days, and lie can not remalu longer than that time without a reliable guarantor known to the military authorities With such a guarantor his permit may bo renewed every three-months, the guarantor being liable to a fine of five hundred francs and three months' im prisonment if the peron for whom he has vouched violates any of tho rules imposed on foreigners. However, for eigners are numerous, for nearly all the servants employed at Gibraltar are from Spain. They nro not allowed to bear any offspring on the rock, and a woman with child ls heartlessly ex pcled. A male inhabitant of tho rock may marry a foreign . woman, who Uiiu acquires the right to I've there, but a British woman that marries a foreigner is expeled with her husband the day of her marriage. When this law was firt pat into force there were a number of foreigners at Gibraltar who had been allowed to live there without permit for many years. All of them had to submit to the rule requiring a permit every three months, and all who were married to a woman that within the preceding three months had given birth to a child, living or dead, were expeled. The interior spectacle of the city of Gibralter Is lacking in neither gaiety nor animation. In tho evening the whole population is in the streets. The Moors with their white Arabi an cloaks, their red vesti, their puffed pantaloons, their barn feet in Turkish slippers, jostla the redooats; the tur bans mingle with tho white cork hats of the English. In the midst of this crowd circulate E.iglish cavaliers, Amazons, Andalusian muleteers with huge sombreros, and . pretty bland misses with saucy straw hats. The scene is varied, picturesque and full of color. But when one lives at Gibralter the truest pleasure is in getting out of it. In the midst of the ramparts that surround you, batteries, casements, powder factories, sentinels; with the continual discharge of .cannon signal ing the opening and closing of tho enly gateway by which one oommunicatcs with the rest of the world, the iiApits bIoh of Imprisonm"" beco'" -s o spa- one passes this single exit v for the sake of passing it and a himself that he is still free, road then presents itself ar velously kept up by the Eng constantly filled with carriagi pedestrians, which, under a 1 sky. goes along the bay of Gibra the left and the neutral territory; right, and leads you in less t quarter of an hour to the first bouse port, the first Spanish?

Just before the ?;ate closed for the night they departed it single file for Line a. On reaching the frontier the man at the head of the line jabbered with the customs officer, whilfi the rest hurried on. Guns were fired, an4 the officers made a feint of opposition, but no blood was shed. Linea is a miserable place of three thou sand or four thousand inhabitants, nearly all employed at Gibraltar in loading and unloading vessels.

An a?zellnt Ptaa for M akinc- a Collection of lkM Csvfol Little Articles. First of all. save the boot buttons and glove buttons. Many persons whose dress is otherwise unexceptionable fail in proper attention to these most es sential points. When a pair of boots is discarded. cut off the buttons. In time there will be quite a collection. If discolored, .hey may be restored to their original blackness by applications of ink or shoe polish. Let these buttons be kept in a box which shall be accessible to the rhole family, or, better still, let each aiember own one. Teach the children to replace their missing boot buttons and to do it promptly. In like manner, when gloves are east isidv preserve the buttons. As they accumulate, keep them in a box by themselves, and ne ver suffer a missing one to go unreplaced. - We can testify from exp erience that his plan of making collections of boot nd glove buttons is an excellent one. By means of it one need never be found wanting in these little articles, for the tbsence of which no particularity, with regard to other details of dress can ttone. When a garment is to be consigned o the rag-bag always take off the but- ons. Often a set of buttons which has lone duty on one dress will be found to suit another quite as well, and indeed til kinds of buttons can sooner or later he utilized in many ways. Christian at Work.

The notii -.'.'. .a eatui of this import ant and distinctively Anerictn crop for the past year is that; although' its acreage is 2.500.030 more than ia 1835. its total yield is aboat 270.003,000 bushels lis. It is, however, the largest of the fivs crops that have fall en short f an average yield. The average farm price is 85 6 cents per bushel, which is an advance of 12 per cent, over that of the previous year. Tkis is th t first ar rest of the steady decline ia the price of corn since the short crop of 1881, when the average price was 6X6 cents, and the crop was 1.194.916.000 bushels. 11 inois produced 209.813,000 bushels, wh-ch is the largest crop in any of the corn-growing States. The product of wheat is 457,218,000 bushels, derived frm an area of near ly 37.000.000 acres and having a farm value of 314. 003. 003; the average price per bushel Is 63. 7 eenta, . against 77.1 ' cents for the previous crop and 64J cents for th great crop of 18S4.

T. J. Scott, in his work on Suburban Home Grounds, well remarks that walks should all be ia the direction that the family go oftenest, and "no more walks should be made than are wanted for daily nse in business or pleasure." It may be given as a rea son, that a few walks well and neatly kept are vastly better than many and pretentious ones in a shabby condition, in v. hich they are apt to be found when there are too many to take care ot In connection with keeping them in proper order, there are two points te he observed. The first is. that full and sufficient drainage should be given that they may never be' soaked with water nor jiel.l from softness from below; and secondly, that needless labor is not ex pended in their construction with only moderate means on the part of the owner. If the soil is naturally heavy or naturally wet, anf.iciai draina'a ia absolutely necessary. But on hard, gravely and dry soils, less expense may be incurred for this purpose. Sometimes nearly the whole bed may be the natural soil, with a few inches only of fine gravel. It wonld inieed be better to make the whole path of natural soil, provided it mty be smoothly and neatly kept, with the edges perfectly preserved, than to ex pend much labor ia trenching, filling with broken stone and dressing with gravel, and then allowing it to ran to waste. It is often d ffieult to procure fine gravel in suitable quantity to construct walks. A good substitute exists in many places at no cost besides sifting and drawing. This is anthracite coal ashes. It is easily applied and evenly spread, and never forms adhesive mad. Heavy rains do not wash it, unless large water channels are first formed. Weeds do not grow in it as in common soil if laid on several inches thick. If the soil has naturally a good drainage, walks may be made cheaply with it. But it will not prevent the necessity of thorough drainage where the soil is naturally wet or water soaked. Ws have constructed roads with it for light carriages, and after the lapse of many years they still remained in good condition with almost no expen diture of labor for repairs. Although of a rather cheap appearance for fin ished and expensive grounds, when compared with the best gravel, they will appear well if kept in good condi tion, and garden alleys or passages for running the wheelbarrow will be greatly improved with a dressing a few inches in depth.
