I glanced toward the building, and on tho steps of the door which looked out upon the city there stood an old man, wrinkled and bent. A faded dressing gown was corded about his waist, his feet were en--. caed in embroidered slippers, and his right hand, which bore a long oaken staff, gnarled and twisted, trembled as the fierce blast struck him and tossed his thin gray locks. Ia a shrill voice he cried: "Come in! Come in! We aro going to have a terrible storm." Even as he spoke, and as if in corrob-- ; oration of his words, the force of the wind increased almost to a gale, and large drops of rain began to fall, slowly and gently at first, but with increasing vigor till the patter on the leaves was lost in one long drawn sound, almost a drove the water ' roar, as tha wind through the trees. Meanwhile the rest of the party had sought shelter in tho building, but as I started to follow them my eyes rested on a sight which compelled me involun-tarily to pause. Ahead of me, beyond the bay, beyond the city, beyond even the waters of the ocean itself, a veil, or shutter, of more than inky blackness rose perpendicularly from the horizon. the heavens it seemed to Up to very stretch, and to both sides as far as tho ej'e could reach.

As it drew nearer to me I saw that it had also another mo-tion, like that of a band saw or an end-less chain, as if a huge jack towel of flexible blackness had been swung over nethermost bounds of two rollers on the rapidly revolving was the universe, and into the very bowels eating its way deep of earth, for as this horrible engine destruction approached 1 perceived o the sea and that it was cutting away land, leaving a smooth, clean StSe where these before had been thought I, "before it -- It will slop," reaches the city." dreadful Thing, like an But no; the never paused or Sforan instant, and a chill shock Sthrough my veins as 1 wa ched teTfte points of land on either side of St then the furthermost houses S nearer objects fade the city, and then S'afterstreetofthecitymeited away tho Thing approached nearer ana SnSgever intervals reached CneiZl lltdvin" distant was I that SHo Snded more like the squeak dStagmouse than as if it came from & of human bo-- 2e of a multitude infTow the bay began to melt away moment ago nding mV tilt -- up, Anchor per eSpPfeto the water SS theSZof tha'sea were likewise Motabove the evermore p END OF THE WORLD.

' To The Scottish Review Mr. A. H. 3. Crespi contributes an interesting article upon strange foods. "Seaweed," says Dr. Crespi, "is eaten on the coasts of Scot-land and Ireland in vast quantities, and though unpalatable and flavorless is at times the chief food bf some of the poor-est. When dry jt is richer than oatmeal or Indian corn in nitrogenous constitu-ents, and takes rank among the most nutritious of vegetable foods. Laver ii an exception to the low estimation in which seaweed is held, and is a favorite condiment. We have known it eaten in large quantities in North Devon and with much rclMi. To prepare seaweed for the table it should be steeped in water to get rid of the salt with which it is impregnated, and a little carbonato of soda removes the bitter taste, which to some palates is most disagreeable. It should then be stewed in milk or water till mucilagi-nous, and is best flavored with vinegar or pepper. Fungi are uhnost everywhere largely eaten, though in England less attention is paid to them than tjiey de-serve, and few kinds appear at table. A curious error in to suppose that fungi are eatable and toadstools poison-ous. No such line of demarcation exists, nor, strictly speaking, has the name toadstool any precise, meaning. Very many fungi are edibb, and the common agaric nsuallv eaten in England is not the most palatable and wholesome. Few foods are more savory, and none are greater favorites, than well cooked fungi, and the souls of vegetarians yearn for them. J M.l lil Mnnvjr l:Hy.
