SMANTHY.

The point which I had reached in the
long. sinuous ascent was as high as the
crests of the range of hills beyond the
valleyto the westward. Dazzling shafts
of light came straight and level across
the undulating line of dark green with
which the distant declivities were cov~
ered, and Ifound myself in» the warm
glow of a summer sunset. »

Three miles away, by 'the road I had
come,_but ap arin to lie almost at my
feet down in t e val ey of Salt creek, was
Geor etown, the uni village in Indiana
pop ated by gold ers. Nor are they
miners, in a strict use of the term, as
their labor consistsonly of washing the
yellow dust from; the beds of sand along
the creek. where, according to one of
those wonderful stories which geologists
tell, it was dropped by a melting glacier
from the far north. '

But, however its presence .may be ac-
counted for, therein 9. ye? light 2’: sprink-
ling of gold-dust through
the “crick” just at this point, and a score
or. more of slow-moving men; by close in-
dustry and tedious washing’and sifting,
continue to maintain a laborious: exist-
ence.
lucky "finds” which have been‘lasbdciated
with the richer mining of our western
states are lacking here, and there is
simply and without exception heavy labor
with its meager returns. Even the un-
kempt farmer who ’tends his “craps"
along the rocky hillsides of the surround-

 

 

ing country has a better opportunity] to.
an

wrest a competency from the soil t

hasthe “ old ig er."

As I s‘izzoodihalf way up the ragged
brush grown hill, the valley below was in
shadow,-and the windin of the “crick,”
from hint! to bluff of to restricted bot-

- toms, appeared plain and white away to
the nor-t , where a jutting promontory
closed the view. A culture has made
light inroads on the eavy growth of tim-
ber which hides the angles and ravines of
the earth’s warm bosom. Here and there
an irre ar “claim,” inclosed by a rude
brush once, showed like an ugly patch
on the green mantle. -

“The speaker had come down thehill un-
noticed, as I stood looking at the _wild
londsca and the beautiful touches of

ish generosity, upon the highest of the .

“It surely is a sight worth coming far

. ”But, ez I ’uz a sayin’, Smanthy wuzn’t
like Cajer. She ’uz alluI a talkin’ about
the hills a bein’ so pui'tyI an’ green in the
spring 0’ the year, an’ s e'd nigh a’most
take a fit about a little spring 0’ clear like
water a runnin’ over the rocks or tricklin’
out from under the roots 0’ a tree. Seemed
like she ’uz sort 0' weakly, too, an’ not
peart an’ rugged like Cafer’s side ,0’ the
fambly. Many a time ’ve seed her go
down to the spring below them trees you
see over that whar the smoke is, an’ set
down on arock an" jest set an’ look up
hyar at this hill without sayin’ a word fer
sometimes half an hour, in he evenin’
when the sun uz a-shinin on t 9 top, the
way it is now, an’ ever’thin’ down yonder
in the holler ’uz still an’ sort 0' dark like.
She set a heap 0' store by flowers, too, an’
when the johnny-jump-ups an' da'ndylions'
begun to come out an’ the weather ’uz a
gittin’ warm she’d 0 up in the woods an’
gether all she coul carry.

“Cajer, he used to ’low sometimes that
Smanthy ort to be a-doin’ somethin’ to
help take keer o’ the children, ’stead o’
traipsin around the timber; but she’d
only sort 0’ smile like, an’ es the best
part 0’ her life ’ud be a-lac 'n’ of she
couldn't see the purty.things that ’uz so
common ever’wheres. \

“Well, one day, about fifteen year ago,
Cajer’d gone down to the diggin's to git

- a grist 0’ corn ground for to make corn-
bread, an’ Smanthy I: the cabin redied

an' purty soon she heerd the children
a—screamin’ like bein’ killed. She ruling
the hill through the bushes an’ turne
around the pint of a sort 0’ offshoot o’ the
bluff, an’ then she seed what ’uz the mat-
ter. They had madeafire in the leaves
that laid on the ground thick over winter,
an’ it had spread out and got clean
around ’em, an’ when Smanthy see ’em, it

’uz a-burnin’ tur’ble fierce an’ gettin’
clcster to ’em ever’ minit. She never
sto pedher runnin", but jes' went tearln’
right , hrough them blazes ten foot high,
an' grabbed the two youngest, an’ held
’em clost agin her breast an’ bent her head
down over 'em l‘ke, an' run out to a safe

lace. Then,_ thout stoppin’ to take a
reath,she rug back , -—fer the fire

’uz a-drorln’ up into a in ght small ring
by that time—an' grabbin’t e other one
o the children n , she hugged it clost, an’

sort 0' wrapped er dress around its head,-

an’ then run out with it.

“When they started down to the cabin,
Smanthy made the children lead her, she
'nz burnt that had, an' seemed like she
couldn't see very well, for she k a
stumblin’ an’ askin’ the oldes’ gal w ch

'Along in the evenin’. Cajer. he come
home, an’ went in the cabin hungry as a

The children said she ’us a sittin’ down to

down thar, purty mad, an’ thar she set on
the rock a cryin’ soft, an’ tryin’ to lockup
hyar at the sun I. shinin' on the top 0'
this bill. She heard him a ccmin’, an‘
sez she, kind of quietlike, afore he could
open his mouth: ‘Cajer,’ sez she, ‘I’m that

burnt that I’m blind, and can’t see the

sunshine n’r the flowers n’r the children
no more.’ An’ then she bust out crym’

A Long Lease Just Expired.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine years
ago the church of England, then under
the headship of the 110 of Rome,
leased a lot of land to the 1:15]; govern-
ment for a long term, that. was considered
In that day as equivalent to an estate in
fee. But the lease has just exfired, and
the land has gone back to the church of
Englond. which has changtd its coat sevé
eral times since Henry VI I’l day, but has
preserved throughout its corporate lu-
tegrity. Nine hundred and ninety-nine
years is not forever, and the expl.ation of
this lease and the reversion of the prop-
erty to the lessor is a si ificant sign of
the stability of the .An o-Suxcn govern.
ment, as well as of its 0 urches. Dynas-
ties have changed, revolutions have swept
the little island from stem to stern, but
the state and the church have remained,
and their contracts are held after a
lapse of a millennium. Proha 1y: no other
country can show alike proof of business
stability.——Boston Transcript.

 

Historian Lossing's happy 1:::-';~.~.~.

The‘venerable Benson J. Lossing told
the story, in New York recently, at 'the
dinner to American authors by the Satur-
day Night club, how he first conceived
the idea of his “Field Book of the Revolu-
tion.” When Lossin , years ago, visited
the historic ground w ere Putnam made
his famous ride down the stone steps, he
encountered an old man, who so phic-
ally described the event that fleeing
asked him who he was and how he came
to knowso well all about it. “I stood
right there,” said the old man, “when
Putnam came tearing down on his horse,
.and as he swept by me I heard him swear,

.between his teeth, ‘D-——n the British!’ ”

It was this recital that suggested to Mr.
Inssing the happy thought of visiting the
locales of important or striking revolu-

-.tionary events. of depicting them with

pen and pencil and collecting whatever
traditionary lore still clung about them.
The idea was so captivating that he closed
an arrangement w th his publishers be-
fore he had written a. line of the work.—

Secret of Under-glare Decoration.

“Only 87 for that dinner service? It
must be of some common make then,"
said the reporter. “Will the print wear
0 _., ,

“No, sir. That is what we call under-
glaze decoration, and the print will last
on as long as the dish lasts. The plate is
made and baked. Then the printing is
put on and the eflute is dipped into the
glaze and bak again, so you see the
print cannot rub off. Some of the finest
china is decorated in this way because the
rich colors cannot be put on the chips. over
the glaze. The rich royal blue that decor-
ates the Crown Derby, Royal Dresden and
other valuable china is put on under the
glaze. Then the glaze is put on and the
other decorations are put on over the
glaze.”—-New York Mail and .Express.

Main street the other afternoon, so as not

when she unwittingly ran against a. small
newsboy and sent his papers in all direc-
tions. After assisting the youngster to
collect his warés, and dropping a nickel
into his hand with the apology, “I’m Sorry
for thee and my carelessness, my son,”
she hastened away. The little fellow
gazed after. the retreating figure with
awe, and at last mattered to a companion

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.

Many pensioners borne on me rolls in c entitled

receive. in a great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of role, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes ihe
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low. and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to Increase on a disability not set forth In

THE ONE WHO STAYS AT HOME.

The wheels of the world go round and round,
in the press of a busy throng.

Morn with its matln melody
And night with its vespcr song: ‘

fi‘he tides are out and the tides are in,
Like the sea in its ebb a'nd flow,

For there's always one to stay at home
Where there Is one to go.

Abroad on the highway's noisy track
There is rush of hurrying feet,

The sparks fly out from the wheels of time
To brighten the bitter and sweet;

But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse of earth runs slow.

. There is always one to stay at home

Where there is one to go.

Over and over good-bys are said,
In tests that die with the day,

When eyes are wet that cannot forgot,
And smiles have faded away;

Smiles that are worn as over a grave
Flowers will blossom and blow;

For there‘s always one to stay at home
Where there is one to go.

Always one for the little tasks

01' a day that is never done;
Always one to sit down at night

Ami watch with the stars alone. .
And he who fights on the world's broad field,

With banner and blast and drum, ‘
Little dreams of a battle gained

By the one who stayed at home.

—-Burueston Lane in Detroit Free Press

The Weaker Sex No Longer.

Society women nowadays thoroughly
realize the importance of good health in
the matrimonial market, and New York
women are today much stronger and
healthier. as a. rule, than the men are. A
few minutes on Broadway, between Four-
teenth street and Thirty-second, on the
west side of the street, of a Saturday
afternoon, will demonstrate the truth of
this assertion. The women, as a rule.
are fresh of face, erect of carriage, their
heads are well poised and their arms well
rounded. Their figures are trim and they
walk along with avstrong and re or
stride. The men, on the other ban , are
too often sallow and loose jointed, fiat
chested and hollow eyed. and certainly
but little else can be expected when the
late hours usually kept by them are con-
sidered and it is remembered how many
dozens of cigarettes they smoke during
the day and how many deadly cocktails
are imbibed—New York Mail and Ex-
press.

An Ancient Buried Forest.

During the late violent stems in the
English channel the sea washed through
a high and hard sandbank near- St. Malo.
almost four meters thick, layin bare a
portion of an ancient forest, wfiich was
already passing into the condition of coal.
The London Times says: “This forest at
the beginning of our era covered an ex-
tensive tract of the coast, but with‘the
sinking of the land it became submerged

~ and covered up by the drifting'sand. Mont

Saint Michel once stood in the middle of
it. Theforest had quite disappeared by
the middle of the Tenth century. 0c-
casionally, at very low tides after storms,
remains of it are disclosed, just as at
present. It is believed that some cent-
lll'leS ago the highest tides rose about
twelve meters above the level of the
lowest ebb. Now the high water level is
15.5 meters above the lowest.”—Home
Journal. '

No Longer a Trade.

“Baseball," said John Ward a couple of
days ago to a newspaper man, ”used to
be a trade; now it is a profession. No
more mechanic can play ball as it is played
these days. Before a man can properly
fill an important position in a first class
club at the present time he must be so
thoroughly absorbed in the game that he
must, figuratively speaking, eat, drink
and sleep baseball and nothing else. He
mustn’t allow his mind to wanderfio any-
thing outside the game, or he is lost. To
be a great ball player requires a s cial
genius, just as much as it does to ac leve
greatness in any of the other branches of
life. The game has improved, and so have
the players—New York World.

An Economical Father.

_ A miserly old man lived with his son,
who was somewhd: of areprobate. The
son turned seriously ill one day, and the
symptoms proving very alarming a doctor
was grudgingly sent for. The doctor ar-
rived in due time, and, stco ing over the
young man, began to scan him with a
stethoscope when he was interrupted by
the father: “Noo, doctor,"he said, "he-
fcregaun ony farrer lat we say this, gin
ye say he’s no worth repairin', dinna put
out muckle expense upon him."—Scottish
American.

Wisconsin‘s Farmers' Institutes.

Farmers’ institutes bane become an in-
stitution in Wisconsin. Eighty-two 'were
held last year in forty-five counties, and
279 practical topics were discussed. More
than one hundred lecturers and specialists
imparted instruction. and the state ap-
propriated $12,000 to help the farmer-5'
cause alone—New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.

Tempered . by Electricity.

By the old method the steel wire from
which watch springs are made was heated

to the proper temperature and immedi- -

ntely plunged into oil. In the new process
the wire is immersed in the oil bath first
and is then, brought. by means of an
electric current, to the desired degree of
heat—Boston Budget.

\Vorking People’s Plants. _
Plants most cultivated by- working pec-
pIo in cities are said by a florist to be the
geranium, the heliotrope, fuchsia, daisy,
Irillyfiower, primrose, ink and cxalis.
l‘hese will grow where ess hardy plants
would die, and will thrive in small quar-
ters—Chicago Herald. -

England's \Vatch Trade.

The introduction of American watches
into England has reduced the number of
gold cases marked at the London assay
office from 34.344 in 1876 to 20.416 in
1886, and of silver cases from 119,394 in
1876 to 95,708 in 1886.—New York Sun.

Rewarded by Honor.

Col. Higginson told the whole truth in

which was, that honor makes a great part
of the reward of an honorable profession.
