G ROIVI N (l OLD.
Growing old i The pnlses’ measure
Keeps its even tenor still; ‘
Eye and hand nor tail nor falter,
And the brain obeys the will;
Only by the whitening trcsses, '
And the deepening wrinkles told,
Youth has passed away like vapor;
l'rimc is gone. and I grow old.
Laughter bushes at my presence,
Gay young voices whisper lower.
It I dare to linger by it,
All the stream of life runs slower.
Though I love the mirth of children,
Though I prize youth's virgin gold,
What have I to do with either ?
Time is telling—1' grow old.
Not so dread the gloomy river
, That I Shrunk from so of yore;
All my first of love and friendship
Gather on the further shore.
Were it not the best to join them
Ere I feel the blood run cold ‘2
Ere I hear it say too harshly,
“Stand back from us—you are old i”
A , ‘Very Nipe Pair.
Miss Sousie set one slipper tip upon
the fender’s edge, and leaned her bronze
curls against the mantel. She had
noted the elongation of her'guost’s aris-
tocratic visage, then turned to watch the
coals flare and pale between the bars of
the grate.
“Do you mean everything?” gasped
Mrs. Deane. “Lost everything ?"
“Oh, my wardrobe and some jewelry
will be left, probably. I am sorryto
part with the library."
“Library! You seem not at all to
realize your situation. ” ,
“Oh, yes, I realize everything, " said
the girl, carelessly. “ After selling the
house and all this—:1 indicating by a
nonchalant motion, her luxurious sur-
roundings—“there will be enough to
settle my accounts and rentacountry
house somewhere.” ‘
“My dear girl, what will you do, with
your delicate, fastidiOuS training, ina
country house ?” '
“ Bury it. and train myself- better.‘ I
cooked breakfast this morning to
begin.” , , .
Mrs. Deane arched her fluobrows in
patrician protest. ‘ , '
“ But your sister, Mrs. Trenton;
surely she might provide for you ?"
“ Poor Nellie!” said Sousie. “She
has lost too. We will creep into obscur-
ity together.” 5
“ Oh, don’t mention obscurity,” with
a graceful motion that seemed to obliter-
ate the dism-eeableword. , “X011 have
so many friends—they Would miss you
:0 much. ” » V “ - “
“True," ‘ said Sousic, “but they
might find'unc embarrassing in a~calicn
dress and soliciting employment.” ‘ _ . _
Then you have planner ,” {altered her
guest, “ how you are to— to live 1/"
“Minus servants, salmon and silk,”
with a light laugh;- “Fortunately we
have moderate appetites, and for neces-
raries I can decorato piacques or some-
thing. " ' _
MrsDcanc rose. There Was a faint
jingle from the jet fringe on er velvct
dress. The diamonds in 'r oars
twinkled oppi-cssivcly. She sent a
speculative glance around the room.
“If you really contemplate a sale of
all your pretty triflss I willassist in
purchasing.”
“ How good you are !" said Miss Sousie.,
with beautiful sarcasm in her eyes.
“ And you paint so sweetly, no doubt
you will find an easy career as artist. I
shall be charmed to introduce my
friends when they have orders.”
“How good you are!" repeated the
girl. '
“Good-by. I am so sorry you are
going away from us into the country."
Then Mrs. Deane withdrew the velvet
and jet and diamonds. ‘
“ Well 1’". came merrily from an auto-
room. “How did she bear it? Did
she weep and say ‘cntreat me notto'
lcave‘ thee ?’ Did she beg to be your-
sister and mother-in-law and banker '1’"
“We could go to ‘Strawberry Hill'

her eyes on the fire again.
“We could embark for Feogec land
tomorrow but whether we will—r‘ay.
there is the rub 1'" And Mrs. Nelliq
came in and knelt to rake the fire.
It is untenanted thib year, and in
tolerable repair,” continued So‘usie,
musingly.
“ I remember spending a week in that
fair cottage once, years ago, " said Mrs
Nellie, as she sat down on her heels and...
rattled the poker upon the fender rev
fiectively. ”’Twas in a bleak Decem-
ber ; the walls loomed out of mist and
persimmon trees ; within, tho doors
creakcd, the ceilings wore stunted, the
windows shook as if with continual ague, '
tho fireplaces yawned far and howled
for wood, and it was given them in cords
of hickory, pine and oak ; but soon it

“Yes," admitted Sousie, complacent-
]y.‘ “ It is the poorest respectable place
I can think 0 ." '
“Why not find cheap boarding ?"
“But what dreadful people we might
meet."
“ Well, we can have curtains and one
stovo, I suppose," said Mrs. Nellie, with
a sigh of surrender,
“ In the kitchen, yes ; and we will go
tc-morrow, please. I do not want to
meet every one. " ‘
“Every one,” repeated the pretty
little widow, dcmurcly, “defined, any
one—«some one—him. I always was
bright at grammar. ”
“I confess only this," said Sousie.
with a sudden glow on her face. ,_ “I
am afraid of becoming cynical. ~ .
Mrs. Nellie plunged her poker deep
in the cools and looked serious.
“Have you no faith in—‘ every one 1"”
she asked.
" To-night will show if it is deserved,"
said Sousie, turning away.
“Is that quite fair? Mrs. Deane
may not impart her news at once. or he
may not be at home."
“ He was to call to night.”
“ Oh—h—h !”
Mrs. Nellie looked wise.
“ I did not want to wait until—”
“I quite understand," said the fire
disturber, filling the pause blaudly.
“ and I shall dress for dinner instead of
packing for a mythical journey."
But a servant arrived with a mass of
violets and a note. Miss Sousie' read
with head very erect, and a proud curl
deepening on her lips.
“Miss Dnnms :—Let these, your
favorite flowers, remind you of one
most unwillingly absent. am called
away on business, and cannot hopeto
sec you to-night. Yours faithfully,
ROBERT Dunn."
The paper fell to Mrs. Nellie's knees,
and-she rested the red hot‘poker against
her dress while she perused it. ,
“Of course she told him at once," said
Sousie. "and trdly a‘ wise son maketh I
glad step-mother. "
“Well,” said Mrs. Nellie, when the
poker had created some excitement and
and found a safer stand, “the Heg-ira
must be, I suppose; but." and she
looked earnestly into the proud, pale
face opposite, “but, my'lady Doubtful,
there is some mistake. No'tw1thstand-

a rainy day. The- strawbcn‘yfint was
,minus even in the sunset. There were
gray clouds, gray walls, gray fields.
Miss Scusic watched the drip, drip
down the windows gloomily. She was
close beside the fire, and well wrapped
in shawls draped cap-(Hue.
.Mrs. Nellie was beating a tattoo on
the small centre table. ‘_ - .~
“\Vcll. do you think this will do ?” sh
inquired. Two weeks of this style in
tragedy is a fine experience, of course ;
but in time one might. have to bakburicd
under the monotony. ' We have enjoyed

duced- several, “they make some vari-

A rush of smoke pom-ed from the
chimney, following ,a gust of windnthat
made the windows seem all rattle and
draught. : ’ " , ‘
“‘Ug!” said Mrs. Nellie. “I hope
you never charged any rent for this
horribly misnauicdidc'miicile, Sousie."
“ I never will again," was the answer
in a hoarse, rcpentant voice. " .
“ Think of the girls who have never
seen or dared hope for anything better,"
said Nellie. _
“Yes. I am glad we come," Sousie
answered blushingly. ‘ '
“ ‘When my ship comes in," said
Mrs. Nell, “there shall be no smoky
chimneys, no eurtainless windows, no
breakfastless breakfasts, no false lovers

“ And we will make a little Paradise

enthusiastically.
“We’ll select a girl who rejected a
millionaire for tho poor man," said
Nellie. “By the. by—would she be
hard to find, do. you think ? Imagine a

of anything except our wealthy suitor—-
how powerful he would be! Still he
would be rather an incumberance after.

“ Not compared with scanty meals and
clothes and abundant housework," said
Sousie. “Love is much, but money is
everything. Not ,moncy itself,~ you
know—no woman is a miser—but "its
highest result. And such a step need
not be supremely selfish ; there would
be his happiness to consider. " ,
“He would be very happy when he
guessed the situation," said Mrs. Nell
sarcastically.
“He need not know.”
Then the small cook interrupted.
“ There’s a'gcntleman in the hall.”
“It’s Uncle Jack," asserted Sousie,
confidently. “Bring, him in, Nellie.”
And she knelt to stir the logs to a
brighter blaze. _
But ’twas Robert Deane who entered.
. “How wet you are!” cried Nellie,
while’ her sister rose dumbly. “And
how long you have been remembering
as."
“I've not forgotten dhything," said
Robert, witha rare smile, “and only
got home this morning."
“ And you had not heard before?"
cried Nellie-quickly. '
_“ Noth word.”
Sousio flushed to the roots Of her,

“ If you will take off- your overcoat,"
said Nellie, demurely. “I’ll take it to

Though Mrs. Nellie: made an occa-
sional g'rimace of protest, the sisters
lingered at Strawberry Hill.
“One can be; not rich without Ian
actual suffering," Miss Sou’sie‘ had” de-
cided; and some comforts crept into
the cottage. _ . ‘ -‘ ' '
Returning from a call on "Uncle
Jack," one day, Miss Sousic’s eyes and
checks were unusually brilliant. Mr.
Dean‘s looked inquisitive when he
led. . , - 7 ..
“I have 'had a fortune given me," mm
the answer to his glance.
“Yes ?" said Robert.
“ And I am very proud'of it."
' "Proud of it i’"
" It was so generous. The giver could .
not have done more if he loved me with
all his heart." » _
"Perhaps he does.”
“ He gives me twenty thousand dollars
that I may do—what do you think, Sir
Robert?" _ . *- ,
She stood beside him with one little
hand on his chair, andjthere were tears
in her shining eyes.
“ How could I guess: ?_" said Robert.
" That" I may 'marry only a man I
love. ” ‘
“ And will that send me away ?” asked
Robert, huskily. . ,

“Of course he never guessed any-

“ Well— shall you decline the gift or

laughing. '
Those tears in‘ her eyes had been
wonderfully reassuring.
" I would like to know how you came
by that twenty thousand," Miss Sousie
said.
Robert's eyes widened. '
“ You did not know that I was rich ?”
“I thought you were my cousin's
clerk ?" '
Miss Sousio gave a little gasp, and
looked at thccurtains. Robert leaned
toward her‘witli attentive eyes.

" Of all smugglers," remarked the
Custom House inspector, “recommend

got more brains and originality than
any other smugglers four times over.
A few months ago a tea packet came in
and I was assigned to it; _Well, a friend

I was on the boat the moment she
~touchcd the pier and examined every
sailor that went off. I hadn't been
aboard a very long time when a Chinese
grocery .pedlar came down the wharf.
He had a big open basket on his arm,
in which there was green stuff and cans
of tomatoesand such like. , I didn’t
suspect “him, but to be doubly sure I
walked with him to tho forecastlc where
lfir commenced to peddle ofi‘ his truck.
He sold the vegetables and counted the
money carefully he got for them. Then
he sold the cans of tomatoes for' a
quarter apiece. I thought he was rub-
bing it in; so I told one of 'cm on the
quiet they weren't worth more than a
dime'. The next moment the air was
blue. They jumped up, fired‘ the cans
intohis basket, shook their fists under
his nose, and wanted their money back.
He wouldn’t give it to them, and they
went for him. He was making a good
fight when one of them drew a knife.
I had a heavy cone in my hand, and I
knocked the knife out of the fellow's
hand and made the pcddlcr go up the
ladder and 011' the boat. He thanked
me and went away talking Chinese, and,
as I supposed, cursing the crowd.
“A little while after, the sailors came
up and wanted to go ashore. I searched
every one of them, and found nothing.
They hadn’t been gone more than a
half hour when the pcddlar came back.
His eye was black, and his nose and
mouth bloody and swollen. He said:
‘ Policeman, dam lobbie stealeo fob,
flivo can tomatce. You helpe gettie
back and takee bad _ 'man to station-
housc ?’ I felt sorryfor the poor devil,
and told him we’d go and search the
forecastie for his property. We looked
around five or ten minutes, and were
about to give it up as a bad job, when
we found them hidden away under a
piece of old sail cloth. He popped them
in his basket, shook hands and thanked
me a dozen times, gave me a handful of
good cigars, audthcu went away. Do
you know on account of 'thc licking he
had got I never dropped to his racket at
all? It was all a nut-up job. He
brought on board real cans of tomatoes;
he took away tomato cans filled with
Opium paste. The. sailors were in with
him, and had put tho real ones in their
‘chcsts, and had replaced them with the
smuggled stufi'. There must have been
thirty-tire pounds, which meant a clear
profit of $350. - ' ‘

According to the London Chemist and
‘Druggist, salicyclic plaster has recently
been put upon the English market as a
cure for corns, bunions, and thickened
skins generally. The price is reasona-
ble enough, but some may prefer to
make it for themselves. .Dissolve two
drums each of salicychc acid and yellow.
rosin in six drachms of sulphuric other
and paint the solution over belladonna
or opium plaster spread on swan’s down.
The pigment dricfi‘almost instantane-
ously, and the plaster is then ready for
cutting up into suitable sizes for corns.
Considering that the whole does not
cost more than three or four shillings a
yard, and that several plasters may be
made out of that. quantity, it is evident
that, by retailing at two or three a
penny, a profit will be make such as
would be envied, even in Regent street.
Some corns are st)’ painful that neither
paint nor plaster can be endured, some-
thing of the nature of a shield alone
giving relief. For such cases as these
the following wrinkle may be up.
preciated: Take a corn-shield, enlarge
the diameter of the hole to a small ex-
tent by means of a knii'eor scissors, and
applyin the usual- way. Then place in the
hollow thus formed over the corn 9. small
quantity of any of the following solu-
tions : Salicyclic acid and extract cannabis
indica dissolved in ether ; or, extract cau-
nabis indica, one-half drachm, dissolved
in two drams of liquor potassae; or, a
saturated solution of iodine, or iodine of
potash, in strong alcohol. The shield
does the double service of taking the
pressure of the boot oil’ the corn and at
the same ‘timc preventing the liquid
being rubbed off by the sock, while all
of these solutions penetrate the skin
much more rapidly than the usual col-
lodion preparation, and are consequent
ly muchurnore effective in their operation.
The saturated solution of iodine often
succeeds in removing corn‘s and indu

have failed, and the well-known solvent .

credential to induce for it at least 9

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
The semi-wild Tones cattle display
great intelligence in the care and pro-
tection of their calves. Supposc‘the
range is-iu a country where coyotes and
gray wolves roam during the night. and
through the day, too, if they are hun-
gry, in search of food, preferably young
and tender veal. From the large num-
ber of these carnivorous _animals con-
stantly sec-n, and from the vigor of their
midnight and maiiu chorouses, a stran-
ger on the range would judge that not a
calf would escape their fangs. The
tireless animals almost ceaselessly roam
to and fro over the range. They beat
the ground quite thoroughly. They
catch large numbers of rabbits. They
sit in groups on their haunchcs outside
of corrals and vociferously howl their
disappointment at the prevailing scar-
city of beef _and veal. Cows about to

away from the, spot where {boy were

some mysterious manner they conch to
the calf the information that it must be

closely after calflikc friskiness.

ROAST HORSEI‘IN, ENGLAND.
There are many people who prefer
horse to beef, but as it is a point in dis-
pute, a practical step for solving the
doubt is being taken in Manchester. A

THRASIIING-rmons.
It was in the north of China that we
first saw the thrashing-floor of the East
and of the Biblc. When we were travel-
ing to some outsmi.ions in Mantchui'ia,
the road bounded on both sides by end-
lcss fields of gigantic millet, there would
come a farmer’s house and farm-yard, of
a small hamlet, and on the skirt of i',
the troddcn spot of ground hard and
smooth as stones. But it was not till
some weeks later, as wewcro journey-
ing slewly up to Pckiu, and the harvest
was now gathered, and we saw it in two.
pair of oxen were driven leisurely over
the caps, treading out the corn.
Another form of thrashing was the
stone roller, which was drawn over the
cars by oxen or mules; and there'was
another still, where ‘a flat board fur-
nished with some projections, was drawn
in the same way, the driver or children,
perhaps, sitting on the board to lend it
additional ‘ weight. Sometimes the
grain was piled up in a large heap . in
the centre of the floor, unsifted, and
then men with tho winnowing shovel
(the Bible fan) would toss the" grain into
the air, or else into a flat basket, from.
which the man who led it flung up the
corn, and the wind carrying the chafi
away filled the air with dust. ‘
One Bible phrase after anbthor was
recalled to us. It was easy to see how
the Philistines could rob the thrashing
floors at Keilah, those open spaces in the
field on which the absence of any dread
of rain induced the farmers to pile up
their wealth of grain ; or how the open
- floor, open to the sky and smooth, be-
upon Gideon’s fleece while all the rest
of the ground was dry; or how, when
the two kings, Ahab, of Israel, and
Jehoshaphat, of ' Judah, summoned the
prophet, the place to set the royal
Samaria; or how no better place than
this could be found on which to build
the altar that David raised when he
had purchased the site of the temple
from Araunah, the Jobusitc, and found
in the thrashing instruments—tho
wooden fans and boards andoxen poles
—the wood for the sacrifice. It would
be easy for the oxen to stop in the midst
of the abundance they were treading
out and cat; and the merciful Jewish
law provided that they should eat if
they would i there should be no muz~
zling of them ; “thou shalt not muzzle
the ox when he treadoth on the corn.”

TRAINING SPORTING DOGS.
In training pointers and setters care
must be taken to give the puppies every
chance of starting them, and by careful
handling and allowing them to‘ see
everything that will tend to make them-
hardy and not gun-shy, as it is the
worse thing that could befall the puppy,
as he "cannot have too' much pluck.
Many a puppy is made gun-shy by being
kept too much out of sight when being
exercised, and not allowed his freedom
to run about until five or six months
old, when he can see everything for
himself, and by that time he will be get-
ting into trouble. But you may be sure
he will be full of spirit, if he ever will
have any. Begin at first by leading
him with a chain and collar, which he
will object to most decidedly ; but hold
on to him, and let him pull till he is
tired out, when he very likely will
thinkbetter of it and follow you. If
not, let him sleep a night over it
and "try, him next day, and 'after
a pull; or two he will come pleas-
antly. ‘ ‘By‘ all means be kind‘to him at
first. until you get thoroughly acquaint-
ed with his temper, an‘d granting that
his temper is not the best, it is probably
only high courage, which is the best
merit he can have for the breaker.
Then, presuming you have a kennel of-
dogs, attach him to an old one. If your
puppy is a dag, put him on with one of
the opposite sex, which he will follow
after with a little coaxing. The next
and greatest in importance is the shoot-
ing over him, and by all means he care-
ful at first by snapping a cap. If I have
a few puppies, I take them all together.
old dogs and all, and when all are run-
ning loose fire ofi‘ several caps; but
don’t take any notice of your puppies,
rather run on with them as if something
of importance was on hand. The old
dogs will run on, and the young ones
taking notice soon join in following their
example; but were you to stand still
the old dogs would all drop, and the
puppy would very likely stanclvand look
at them, and at last think. “matters
are not right here, I shall be off.” At
last, when'hc gets quite courageous, you
must begin to teach him to drop to
hand before going further with the‘
shooting, presuming you have added a
little powder after they stood the cap
trial. . ‘
SALllION FISHING IN JAPAN. '
Says the London Pall Mall Gazette :
What will the Londoner who pays (prob-
ably morc often does not pay, for he
cannot afford it) half a crown a pound
for his salmon, think of a place where
salmon are so numerous that they crowd
each other high and dry on the seashore,
where the rivers are described as a mix-
ture of water and fish, and where in a
single haul of a small seine 5,000 salmon
are caught ? Prof. Milne, of earth-
.quake celebrity, has recently visited the
Japan and Siberia, with the object of
studying the volcanos' there. He sailed
around the Island of Iturup. which is
about 713 miles long and 80 broad, and
whose inhabitants here and there along
the coast of Ainos are engaged in fish-
ing during the season. Here is his
description of the abundance of fish;
“The fish which are caught are salmon

AN ITALIAN" INSTITUTION.
._
. The, weekly lottery is an institution
in Italy. Books are published to guide
the choice of numbers with reference to
dreams and events, both ordinary ”and
extmordinary. If you dream of a eat,
you are bound to play this number; if
of a dog, to play that, combining the
two numbers in a fashion which the
book duly describes should you dream
of both dog and cat. But it is froma
real, not avisionary accident that your
rich harvest .may be reaped, and the
greater ‘the 'accidcnt the richer the
harvest. If your child tumbles down
stairs and breaks a leg, you count the
number of stairs, rush to the lottery
office," and play the combination of
stairs, child, and fall. When the
cholera broke out last year in Naples
certain numbers indicated by'the calams
ity were played so generally, and strange
to say, so successfully, that the govern-
ment lottery-banks lost heavily. Not
long ago a commercial traveler told us‘
with great animation of a cruel disap-
pointment which had just ‘befalleu him.
He had ha’d-‘the luck, while traveling
in the mountains, to have an, accident
by which his carriagewas almost broken
into bitu' He immediately utilized the
chance by making up the prescribed
combination. of numbers“ representing
carriage, accident, mountain, alarm, and-
the day of ‘ the month. He flew to the
nearest lottery office; it’Was closed. ‘ . A‘
Sicilian hotel‘servaut (true to his indo-
lent nature) would not' be induced by-
the offer of five francs to take the num-
bers" to the, adjoining villiage. ' The "
would-begambler .was forced “to accept
his destiny with the‘Italia'n formula 'of
“ pardeuza" (patience). - ’But amagin'ov

speeulator when - the very! next. day hit!

ART; was IT was uncommon.
Art,- has- sunk lower in standard in. ,
proportion as it is more; widely diffused;
being spread over a, broader surface it
becomes shalla'wer. Patrons of art in
like manner, as they multiply, degener-
ate; in place of the educated few rise
the ignorant many. Artists-no longer
paint up to cultured connoisseurs, but.
down to the common people ; and this
democracy among patrons and painters; ’ ricoeele Without surgical operation. Advice free.
Art has changoykf- .-.
for tho worse its menhilaspccts; it «is; ‘
has vulgarizod art.
less serious and more frivolous, less
studbnilike and more superficial and'
showy, less tlie'issue of the higher facul-
ties and more the' offspring of the
senses. Art, ammnlingly, seldom deals
with the imaginationaud the reason ; it
is no longer creative; it has forsaken the
walks of the ideal, and thus hold but
distant fellowship with minds of calibre' ‘
and culture. Art in reverse ratio has
grown naturalistic and real; something
to be measured and weighed, as any
other commercial commodity. Hence
the union of the ideal with the real,
the perfection of Greek. art, is an end
beyond the ainrof modern art. The
. study of nature, including man, is given
to character, accident, and outward
material, rather than to generic forms,»
governing laws, and indwelling life.
Hence modern art, as distinguished:
fronfancient, falls short of natiu'c’s ab-
stract and ideal types, and is content to
realize creation in the concrete. And
the prevailing traits of figure subjects
pass into landscape art. Thus, historic
and poetic landscapes give place to
prosaic transcripts, without imaginative
outlook beyond the actual and the
present. Accordingly the pictorial arts
of the day are barren and stationary
compared with the advance in science
and the fecundity of poetry and
romance. In short, the fine arts have
fallen below the standard and require-
ment of cultured minds, and -fail to
respond to the nobles phases of civiliza-
tion.

crimson sensors 01." A moons-Am.
Within the compass of what was once,
no doubt, a crater of Mount Lassen,
California, there are boiling bodies of
water of dimensions from sixty'fcct by
forty to those small as imaginable, some
clear as crystal, others white with. sul-
phlu’, alum, soda'and salt. While some
are gently simmering, others boil furi-
ously. In close proximity are. other
springs, the contents of which are a
composition of minerals and earth of all
consistencies, from 'huge cauldrons,
which remind one of great kettles of
boiling soup, to others like large churns
of cream, so thick as to be agitated with
much difficulty ; and one that afi‘ordcd
considerable amusement was so tiny that
it was much like the siZe and shape of
the spout of a tea-pot, and emptied at
intervals of several seconds about one
teaspoonful with great force to a distance
of several feet.
On two different pools a substance is
brought up from the depths below, dries
on the surface, floats to the margin, and
is piled up in huge quantities resemliifi
liug’lampblack. A visitor says a hand;
fullto'ébe thrower into a mutant floats
away bodily without dissolving. Tlic
sm'rbunding embanlurcnfs seem ’to be
of‘ chalk-like formation, and from every
aperture as small as a mouse-hole to the
immense one whose force cannot be es
timated, so powerful seems the conden-
sation, steam is. emitted with greater
or less rapidity, the noise of the larger
exceeding that of any steam engine. On
lifting a crust anywhere, the surface be-
neath, as well as the aperture, was found
to be crystalized with sulphur. Forma-
tions of crystals of the different minerals
are found promiscuously. Above one of
these seeming escape valves tire large
rocks, which are completely encrusted
with sulphur crystals. As if toheighten
these wonders of nature, not ten steps
from a body of water lay a large bank
of snow, the greater part of- which con-
sisted of that very curious phenomenon,
red snow, so much so that our :fingers
were stained as with dye in compressing
a ball of it.
W
ARTIFICIAL trauma.
The use of artificial teeth is not so
modem as is generally believed. “ Cos-
mo‘s" states that in .the museum of
~ Corneto, on the coast of Italy, there are
two curious specimens of artificial teeth
found in Etruscan tombs probably datr _
ing to four or five centures' before our
era. These graves contained the bodies
of two young girls 011 the jaw of one
are still to bepseen two incisors fixed w,
their neighbors by small gold rings; .11);
the other the rings remained, but—thc'
artificial teeth had fallen; out: . Th
- teeth had evidently been taken from thd.
mouthof some largo-animal. ‘ '

While Andy. Johnson was Military
Governor of Tennessee, the inadvertent
r playing of “Dixie ” by a lady led up to
3 what was called ariot. Listening to the
3: iiixslins 0f “'Dixio” on the piano, a
soldier made an uncomplimentary rind
offensive remark, and was inimediately
knocked down by a citizen. The sol:
dier recovered and proceeded iii quick
time‘ to bounce the citizen. Other citii
zens ’rallied- and the soldier called foi
, the fight and reinforcements came to the
other side. The provost guard inter-
fered and arrested the refractory
civilians. They were overpowered by
' the crowd and driven to shelter. The
crowd swelled to thousands and bebame
riotous. For an hour it held possession
of the street for two or three squares,
and it seemed‘that the serious trouble
so often prophesied was coming. There
was intense excitement in the city, and
one of the regiments stationed near was
orderedto the scene of the riot. This
was one of the oldest and one ‘of the
finest regiments in the service.
The regiment came down the cross
street at platoon front and ate. double
quick. ' The steady, firm, quick step on
the stones-of the street-had a queer
cfl'cct on? the rioters. They listened in
quiet, Wand when the first platoon
wheeled with splendid precision on to
the (street occupied by thefcrowd,‘tho
civilians in front gave back without a
wordla On came the;soldiersand back
w'entvtheiioters, nntil thosein the rear
stoppedthc I, and the-more. daring
began. to thiw stones. The platoon
went suddenlyinto line and the com-
mand .closed up at company front, the
noses of the men inthe front rank almost
touching the noses of the. rioier. The
only word of audible command had been
“.halt," and when, this was giVen, the
soldiers stood at a shoulder, seemingly
intent only on having their hues
straight. ‘They seemed to ignore the
disorderly mass in front until the voice
of. the officer in command thundered
out, , “Attent shun." They listened
quietly to the instructions, which were
to. fire one volley and then clear the
street with the bayonets, and at the 0
word. every rifle was at a ready. Then
the officer spoke to the crowd, and in
two minutes the street was clear and not
3 a shot was fired. .

It may be a surprise to some people to '
learn that the old shoes cast into the ash
E barrel are liable to reappear in the
An inquisitive
jrcporter who saw a couple of ragpickers'
quarrelling over a lot of worn out and
seemingly worthless footgear inter-
viewed one of the chifi'oniers and found
,. that they sold them to the manufacturers
of wall paper. He followed up the clew,
gand, on questioning the foreman of one
-of these establishments, elicited the fol-
lowing bits of information :—
“We buy, " said the foreman, “ all the
boots and shoes that the scavengers can
bring us. We pay different prices for
the different qualities of leather. "A pair
of fine calfskin boots will bring as high
as fifteen cents. We don’t bjiy cowhide
boots. The boots and shoes are first
soaked in several waters to get the dirt
off from them. Then the nails and
threads are removed, the leather is
ground up into a fine pulp and is ready
to use. ‘ ’
“The embossed leather paperings
which have come into fashion lately and
the stamped leather fire screens an; real-
ly nothing but thick paper covered with
a layer of this pressed leather pulp.
Tlie finer the quality of the leather the
better it takes the bronze and old gold
and other expensive colors in the de-
signs pm'nted on them. Fashionable
people think they are going away back
to mediaeval times when they have the
wall of their libraries and dining-rooms
covered with embossed leather. They
didn't know that the shoes and boots
which their neighbors threw into the
ash barrel :1 month before form the
beautiful material on their walls and on
the screens which protect their eyes
from the fire.
“ We Could buy the old shoes cheaper
if it were not for the competitidn from
carriage makers and bookbinders and
picture frame makers. I don’t know
how many other trades use old shoes
and boots, but the tops of carriages are
largely make of them, ground up and
pressed into sheets. Bookbinders use
them in making the cheaper forms of
leather bindings, and the new style of
leather frameswith leather mats in them
are entirely make of the cast off covering
of our feet. ”‘ ‘

“Yes, I come in after a hired man, ”
said the old farmer as he sipped his root
beer on the market yesterday; “but
EI’ve got disgusted and shan’t try very
hard to find one.” .
“What’s the matter with hired men ‘3”
.V“Too high-toned and important.
Why, I had one last spring who rigged
up an umbrella over the plow, so as not
to get tanned, and he refused to eat with
the family because we stuck our knives
in our months! At the end of a week
he quit. Said that labor was eunobling
and so forth, but the landscape in that
vicinity offended his taste. ”
“Yes. " . . _
“Wall, I tooan another, and he .put
on cuffs and polished his boots before
going to work and ho'quit at the end of
a fortnight, because we didn’t haven.
piauner in the house. Why, that chap
never got up till seven o'clock and he
insisted on going .to the village to get
shaved and perfumed up every other
evening.
“The third.on'e quit ’me yesterday.
He wanted stained glass in his bedroom
winder. He wanted, me to buy him a '
guitar. He wanted, topaint all the roofs
redandiput pea green on the corn cribs.
He suggested a hog pen with a parlor ,
to it and he spent two days of my time _ ,
trying to arrange a way for a windmill
to milk .thc cows. I found him writing 5
poetry in the corn field, and because I.
spoke up sharply, hcpquitthezjob pol-
ished up his boots and sent for a coupay
to bring him to the city. ” -
