Many a sailor is\nlost at sea, but that does not deter\nothers from breasting the billows.\nYour fate would be different from\nthat of the poor, pretty girl who\nsleeps under the aaisies yonder. But\nnever mind; somo day you will marry,\nand your husband can take you to\nthe city, Vou are so bright, so\nvivacious, you would enjoy life\nthere.\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094eva blushed red as1 a rose, looking shyly at him from beneath her\ndark, curling lashes, but could lind\nno words in which to answer him.\nDays lengthened into weeks and the\nweeks into months. For two months\nOscar Glendenning had tarried beneath that roof, loath to leave the\nlittle red farm-house half buried beneath the trailing rose-vine and golden-hearted honeysuckles, though he\nhad been able to use both arm and\nankle long since. And at last it became whispered about among the\nfarm-hands that there 'was an attraction at the old farm-house for\nthe handsomo city chap, and that tho\nattraction was Neva, Farmer Cray's\npretty daughter.\nJohn Anderson, one of the helpers\non tho farm, hoard these whispers\nwith compressed lips and- darkening\nbrow, bending his head still lower\nover his work, but speaking no word.\nNeva was Tout a little child when\nhe had come to work for Farmer\n('\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ray, ten years before, and ho wus a\nlad of seventeen. For ten years he\nhad watched her grow in health and\nbeauty, and he had learned to love\nher as the apple of his eye. He had\nbeen very frugal, and had laid b_. a\ngoodly little sum 'against a rainy\nday. Ho had his day-dreams, loo,\nand they were golden and roseate as\nthe flush of a sunny summer morning. His heart was in his work; he\nwas toiling hard to save enough to\nbuy the little farm across th'i way;\nand then, perhaps, Neva Gray would\nmany him, he often said to himself;\nand he whistled away or sung snatches of song over his work, quite as\nhappy as the day was long.\nBut from the moment the city chap\ncrossed the threshold of the old red\nfarm-house, life had gone wrong with\nhim. Neva did not como down any\nmore to the stile to watch him as lu\ndrove home tho cows, ner linger in\ntho deep meadow grass for a little\nchat as he wended his way homo from\nwork through tho Holds. It was all\ndifferent now. The city chap, Glendenning, was always \"bv her side, from\nearly morning until the bright sturs\ncame out in the sky. John Anderson bent his. head lower and lower\nover his toil, and his lips grew more\ncompressed and his nature moro\nmori.se. No one knew of the terrible\nti'ight that had fallen over hiin, eating at his heart like a worm at tho\nho^rt of a sturdy tree.\nHe grew to hate Glendenning with\n. a deadly hatred born of direful jealousy. He hated his white, soft hands,\nhandsome face and Hue ways, and he\nJonged.for the time when he should\nBo on liis wny, leaving the old red\nfarm-house and the treasure jt contained far behind him. Once away\nfrom her, ho felt quite sure that ho\nwould soon forget the pretty, winsome face of lovely Neva Gray. As\nfor the girl, she might miss him for\nmany a day, but in time her .life\nwould drift bark once more into the\nname old channel in wliich it had run\nko uneventful before the handsome\nstranger had crossed her path,\nNeva's father, too, had begun to\nwonder why the stranger tarried beneath his roof now that ho was perfectly able to resume his journey. Tho\nfarmer's wife grew a trifle uneasy,\ntoo. She did not like to see Neva\nstrolling about under the light of tho\nmoon with the fascinating stranger.\nThe girl's happy, ringing laugh grated harshly on her ears. At last sho\nspoke to her husband about the matter, and was quite surprised to learn\nthat he, too, feared that Mr. Glendenning was making himself altogether\ntoo agreeable to Neva, and they both\nagreed that it could do no harm to\nsuggest to tho hnndsome stronger\nthat he had no reason to linger longer, and that ho was in good condition to go where he liked, both arm\nand ankle being entirely well. And\nto make his leaving them imperative,\nthe fnrmer had concluded to suy that\na party from the city, who always\nengaged that room evory year at\nthat season, had written to say that\nthey might expect him any day. lie\ncould not well remain after that.\nGlendenning listened to the awkwardly worded fabrication with something very like a covert smile on the\nlips his fair,drooping moustache covered.\n\"I was just about to toll you that\nI l'iavo vou to-marrow.\" ko said,\nsiinYe.y. Hi- could Huve laughed out-\nright to see the farmer's honest old\nface br.ighten, strive hnrd as he could\nto repress his delight at this intelligence.\n\"We'll miss you n heap, Mr. Glendenning. But 1 allow you'll bo glad\nto git back 'lnong your friends,\" he\nsaid.\n\"I shall leave behind me the plea-\nsantest friends I have ever known,\"\nGlendenning suid, gallantly.\n\"I reckon everybody heroabouts'll\nbo powerful sorry to see you go,''\nsaid the farmer, pulling vigorously\nat. his pipe.\nFor a little while silence fell between them, and Glendenning took\nhis hat and strolled out into the\ngrounds. Down by the gate Neva\nwas waiting (or him, as he knew she\nwould be.\n\"1 have been here an hour, Mr.\nGlendenning,\" she said, pouting a\nlittle. \"I\u00E2\u0080\u0094I\u00E2\u0080\u0094almost, thought you\nhud forgotten me.\"\n\"Mister!\" he repeated, reproachfully. \"Why so formal on this day,\nabove all others, iVcva? You pain\nme; and as to forgetting you, am 1\nnot about to prove to you to-day\nthat it will be impossible for me ever\nto forget you, in this world or the\nnext?\"\nThe little hand on the gate crept\nconfidingly into his. Her pretty head\ndrooped, and she looked up at him\nshyly with her dark, bright eyes.\n\"I am going to make you my wife\nto-day, Neva,\" he suid, with dignity.\n\"That is proof positive that I cau\nnever forget you.\"\n\"It seems a little hard not to say\nanything to father or mother about\nit,\" murmured the girl, ruefully;\n\"and not exactly right, Roger\" ; tikis\nfalteringly. \"1 wish we did not have\nto keep it a secret.\"\n\"It will only be for a little while,\"\nanswered Glendenning. \"Surely, if\nyou love me, Neva, you will make so\nslight a sacrifice uncomplainingly for\nme.\"\nThe girl sighed.\n\"Perhaps vo'u know best, Roger,\"\nsho said, adding, alter a little pause:\n\"Would you mind ' telling uie one\nthing that I would givo the world\nto know?\"\n\"I will tell you anything you ask\nof nie,\" ho replied.\n\"Then tell nie if you ever loved\nany other girl but nie?\" breathed\nNeva, softly.\nFor an instant a dead silence fell\nbetween them as they walked slowly\narm in arm together down the country path. Only Heaven knows what\nimpulse prompted him to answer her\ntruthfully, when {he simple word\n\"No\" would have saved him so much\nexplanation,\n\"Y'es, Neva, I have loved before I\nmet you,\" he answered, knocking oil\nthe heads of the daisies recklessly\nwith his walking-stick, \"I loved \"a\nproud and beautiful girl who did not\ncare for me. She laughed at my declaration of love and turned niy\nwords against mo into a fine joke.\nWe met often after that, but I never\nresumed the subject. She was too\nhaughty and I was too proud, and\nho ono ever knew that I had dared\nto lovo her, not even her father.\"\n\"What was her name?\" asked\nNeva, huskily.\nHo hesitated. Was it best to tell\nlittlo Neva?. Ah, well, why not?\nThey would never meet; the whole\nwidth of the world would soon be\nlying between them.\n\"Will you not tell me?\" whispered\nNeva, wistfully.\n\"Her name was Olive Kneeland,\"\nhe answered.\nSho repeated it Softly under her\nbreath, telling herself that she should\nnever forgot that name.\nWhat a beautiful Sabbath day it\nwas! How bright tho sun looked\nsailing In the cloudless sky overhead;\nhow its bright beams twinkled, and\nhow joyously the song-birds twittered in the green boughs overhead, as\nthough sorrow was unknown to them.\nThere was to be a camp-meeting\ndown the road, and all the farmers\nfor miles around would be there, and\nafter it was over and they had gona\nto their different homes, Glendenning\nhad planned that the marriage should\ntake place.\nHe was really fond of the pretty,\ninnocent young creature, she had cast\nsuch a strange influence over him. Hq\nhad never experienced such an odd\nsensation before, partly of awe and\npartly of worship, and he had met\nlovely women the world over. For\nthn first time in his life, Oscar\nGlendenning folt his own unwort.hi-\nness. He wished he hud led a better\nlife. Her greatest, charm for him lay\nin the fact that the girl know nothing whatever of the great world outside. She was a child of nature, and\na\u00C2\u00BB free from guile as an angel. It\nhid puzzled him from tho Hist to\nknow how to talk to her, what to\nsf.y to her. He never attempted to\nflutter her as ho hud flattered other\nUi'-Su\u00C2\u00BB -_\u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'-__. ...ler _iu__i_.it thoughts\naiid artless 'waf of phrasing them\ncaptivated him completely, and he\noften said to himself that had lie\nmet her years before life would havo\nbeen different with him. He was in\ndeadly fear lest she should ever find\nout what his past lifo had been, or\nof the crime that hung even then,\nlike a dark, formidable cloud, over\nhis guilty head. He would never\nhave thought of asking her to link\nher bright young life with his, hnd\nnot the teai'6 sprung to her lovely\ndark eyes and her lip quivered when\nhe told her ho was going nwny, und\nhud brought her out under the apple-trees to say good-bye to her\nalone. She turned her hend nwny,\nand he saw her lovely fnce grow\npale. He stood leaning against the\ntrunk 'of a tree und watched lur.\n\"Will you bo sorry when I am\ngone?'! he asked, slowly.\nIt never occurred to her to answer anything but the simple truth.\n\"The old farm-house will never be\nthe same to, me again,\" sho answered, faintly.\n\"Did my present brighten your lite,\nNeva?\" he asked huskily.\n\"It was like the sunshine breaking\nover one's lifo after a dull, cold,\ngray morning; but after you go the\nsun will set for me.\"\nStill leaning against the tree, he\nasked, slowly:\n\"Do you care for me, Neva?\"\nShe looked up at him with stnrtl-\ned eyes, then buried her face in her\nlittle, trembling hands, and her dark\nhead nodded in the affirmative.\n\"Do you care for mo enough to\nmarry me to-morrow?\" he asked,\nbluntly.\nShe raised her face from her hands\nand looked at him in amazement.\n\"I\u00E2\u0080\u0094I\u00E2\u0080\u0094haven't thought of\u00E2\u0080\u0094of\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nmarrying anybody,\" she gasped.\n\"Will you think of it now?\" he cut\nin shortly. \"It must bo now or never. 1 will give you just five minutes\nto decide.

How he procured the revolver\nafter the careful search, and despite\nthe prison precautions, has remained\na mystery.\n\"In the library at Parkhurst prison,\"\nsaid the younger Barmash, \"I have\nread all kinds of fancitul theories that\nhave from time to time appeared ln\nthe newspapers as to how he secured\nthe means of death, but only two or\nthree living people know the real truth\nat present.\n\"After the dreadful past,\" young\nBarmash went on, \"I Intend to commence a new life.

But 1 soon discovered, as\nthe cows wero put from the otlier stables Into this certified milk stable, that\nthere was very soon a shrinkage in\nthe milk, and It worried me. I did not\nkuow what to think. My first thought\nwas that tho cows hud been Injured by\ntbe tuberculin test. Finally I evolved\nthis Idea\u00E2\u0080\u0094that manipulation of the udder In the cleansing stimulated the secretion of milk, and to get the best results you must follow that right up\nand relieve the cow of her milk at\nonce or else thero Is a reaction that\nmakes trouble.

The people who dwelt In\nthis region, says Walter Hough lu\n\"Records of the Fast,\" saw ln these\nsources of life giving water tbe founts\nof continuance aud well being, aud\nnear them they located their pueblos.\nSave air, uo elements of nature are\nnearer to human life than those combined into the primitive fluid which\nmust always be within reach of men\nwho put themselves into the grasp of\nthe desert Tbe primary knowledge of\nthe tribes who were the pioneers and\nof every human being wbo has since\nmade his home ln the great American\ndesert was complete as to the location,\ndistribution and ldosyncrasles of the\nwater supply.\nSpring water ls naturally more prized\nby the inhabitants of those desert solitudes than that from living streams,\nbecause tt ls always drinkable and always at hand, while the watercourses,\nwhich for the greater part of the year\nare sinuous reaohes of dry sand, furnish\nat flood a quickly disappearing supply\nof thinned mud which will not be touched by man or beast except ln the distress of thirst\nOue Is not surprised, therefore, that\na primitive people will regard these\nsprings as sacred. In fact, the Indians\nof the southwest are not peculiar In the\nworship of springs. The sentiment is\nworldwide, has had a vast range of\ntime, perpetuates itself in the folklore\nof the highest civilizations aud presents\nin its manifestations a most Interesting\nbody of myth and faucy. But ln the\nsouthwest the arid environment has so\nIntensified this feature of primitive culture that no spring ln the region is\nwithout evldeifce of many offerings to\nthe deities of water.\nIt ls small wonder then that the Pueblo Indians came to regard springs\nwith special veneration; that they wove\naround tbem myth and tradition and\nmade them objects of religious, worship.\nTo one acquainted with the environment and Its radical needs this seems\nto have been a natural, even though\nunconscious, generalization. Perhaps\nofferings to springs will not admit of\nsuch simple explanation. Perhaps the\nmystery of the underground source of\nwater welling up from unknown\ndepths, Impressive always even to the\nobserver who believes himself free from\nthe trammels of superstition, has also\nhad a powerful effect on the mind of\nthe Indian, leading, like many other\nnatural phenomena, to an attitude of\nworship of unseen powers behind these\nmasks.\nPOULTRY IN SMALL YARDS.\n-arte Graaa Rnna Are Not Essential\nto Heavy Kg* Prodnctlon.\nThere Is a Common Idea that fowls\nI can only be maintained in health where\nthere Is a large grass run, but this is\nquite a mistake, says the American\nPoultry Advocate. . A few hens con-\nflued in a small yard If fed properly\nand kept clean will lay more freely\nthan those that have an unlimited\nrange, and, usually being ln more sheltered quarters, they are more likely to\nlay iu the winter than farm poultry. It\nls not an expensive business to wire\noff a corner of the back garden and put\nup a small house. A wooden house for\nhalf a dozen fowls need cost but very\nllttle, and wire for tbe run Is very\ncheap. Tbe house must have ventilation provided at the top above the level\nof the perch. An old box with a little\nwell broken straw In It will do for a\nnest The floor of the house can be\nmade of earth beaten hard and level.\nA sprinkling of dry ashes under the\nperch will enable the droppings to be\nremoved with a trowel ln a few seconds. A portion of the wire run should\nif possible be covered so as to afford\nprotection from the rain, and under\nthis should be placed a good sized box\nof dry sand or sifted earth. Iu this the\nfowls will clean themselves, a great\nessential, conducing immensely to\ntheir health.\nThe feeding of the hens Is a very\nsimple matter. There must be a warm\nbreakfast of meal given as soon after\nthe birds are off the perch as can be\nmanaged. This meal should be composed of middlings and barley meal in\nequal parts mixed into a stiff paste\nwith hot water. Any scraps of meat\netc., from the house can be added and\nstirred In with lt At noon some cut\ngrass, cabbage leaves or otlier green\nfood must be given and before the\nbirds go to roost some grain, such as\nwheat Poultry mixtures of various\ngrains are not good; neither is corn,\nexcept a handful or two in tbe Way of\na treat It is most Important that the\nfowls should only have as much at\neach feeding as they will eat greedily;\nnone must be left over. In cold or very\nwet weather a little pepper may be\nidded to the meal.

Asa child the lanky maid\nmay have been round and plump and\ngraceful, pleasingly proportioned in\nevery part of her small body, but after\nthe passing of a dozen years, like the\nproverbial weed, she seems to spring\nrather than grow up, and the problem\nis indeed a hard one to solve.\nDress skirts may be tnoked And finished with wide hems so that they may be\nlengthened to keep pace with the growing and immature figure of the future\ndebutante. The broadening of the\nfigure is provided for in an extra width\nof shoulder and underarm waist seams,\nand the sleeves are patterned so that\nthey may be lengthened if necessary by\nthe attachment ot a new and deeper\ncuff. All this artifice may be resorted\nto in frooks as well as undergarments\nwith satisfactory results, but not so\nwith outer wraps.\nFor this reason the greatest care and'\nthe soundest judgment must be displayed when making a selection.

There are no tight fitting\nooats iu the new styles. All hang in\nlong, loose lines from shoulder to hem\naffording a charming grace to the slen\nderest girl.

No\nconstruction of iron and stone is regarded with so much doubt aud pessimism as a necessity, but an evil one.\nIt ls an Overgrown gliuit usurping\nthe dimensions of a cathedral, a royal\npalace or a house of assembly\u00E2\u0080\u0094a structure Intended to stand alone and dominate the smaller and humbler things\nabout, but Instead of remaining solitary nnd dignified it shoulders, monsters next it like mean houses in a\nrow, turns stroets into canyons, back\nyards into wells, cutting off light and\nolr from all lower structures and from\nother tall buildings. The sun refuses\nto shine into its lower stories, aud even\nthe winds of heaven rebel against It.\nIt is the stark and concrete expression\nof the tyranny and ruthlessness of\nmodern business.\nYet it ls here as a condition, not a\ntheory. It rises und multiplies In every city, and many wbo read these\nwords have their places of business iu\na skyscraper and spend a goodly portion of their waking hours within, so\nconvenient Is it, and such a saving of\nwearisome stair climbing are Its elevators.

It ls proposed to utilize the material obtained\nin lengthening existing piers and reclaiming land from the seo, thus enabling vessels to load and discharge\ncargo alongside of wharves luf'ead of\nas now by mc s of lighters ln the\noften ruffled wi>---s of the bay.

In the middle\nages ridicule and not physical suffering\nwas the means employed for the correction of wrongdoing; hence the pillory, the stocks and the thewe\u00E2\u0080\u0094a chair\n. suspended high over the heads of the\ncrowd, iu which women, generally\nscolds, wero brought to a sweet rea-\nBonableness\u00E2\u0080\u0094but the wliipping post belongs to' the Tudor age.

There Is little doubt\nthat the magnitlcent sport enjoyed during these seasons owed much to the direct Interest and participation of the\nthen Prince of Wales, and there have\nbeen those who held stubbornly to tha\nopinion that the same keen Interest\nand enthusiasm would never be reached\nagain unless the King returned to his\nfirst love among the sports, and enrolled himself again among the racing\no timers.\nWhether the revival Initiated so successfully this season by Mr. R. M.\nYoung of the Nyria and Mr. Myles B.\nKennedy of the White Heather, would\nhave developed far enough In another\nseason to have falsified this opinion\nremains an open, question. In the\nmeantime, the universal feeling In\nyacht racing circles is one of absolute\nsatisfaction that the matter has been\nput beyond doubt by the decision of\nHis Majesty to hoist racing colors\nagain to the truck of a first-class cutter.\nThis decision;\u00E2\u0080\u0094or, rather, the negotiations which preceded tt\u00E2\u0080\u0094gave ' rise\nto a variety of rumors, mainly conflicting, and wholly premature, and\nthe result is that those who have followed the matter with the closest Interest are most mystified as to tlie\nexact position in which the matter\n\"how'Stands. It may now be stated that,\nalthough. the negotiations have nest\nreached the point at which the proposal to build becomes an actual contract, they have advanced so far as\nto put it beyond all reasonable doubt\nthat there will be a new royal cutter\nIn the class which will lead the racing\nfleet through the regattas of next year.\nIn the lifetime of the late Mr. Geo. L.\nWatson, the most eminent of British\nyacht designers, he was the authority\nto whom the King turned for expert\nadvice on all matters pertaining to\nyachting, and the cutter Britannia,\nwhich' he designed for the King when\nPrince of Wales, was easily the most\nconsistently successful racer ever built\nin the first class, On the death of Mr.\nWatson, the business passed\u00E2\u0080\u0094under the\nprovisions of his will\u00E2\u0080\u0094to Mr. J. T. Barnett, his chief draughtsman and assistant. It ls with the same firm, therefore, Messrs. Geo. L. Watson & Co.,\nthat His Majesty has been In negotiation for the building of the new racer,\nand whether the new craft repeats all\nthe success of her predecessor or not,\nthere are circumstances which will\nmark her an epoch-making vessel.\nThe keenest desire of the framers of\nthe hew international rule of rating\nwas that the change might do something for the encouragement of International sport among the yachting\ncountries of Europe, and the fact that\nthe flrst important racer to be buUt\nunder that rule will be for the use of\nKing Edward gives the best reason\nfor believing that this hope will be fulfilled. In the sketch plans which have\nbeen made the definitions of the framers of the new rule find definite expression.\nBritannia II., unless some great and\nunexpected alteration ls made In the\nplans, will conform to the latest fashion\nin the building of racers by avoiding\naltogether the extremes which began to\ncreep in when designers were a little\nhard pressed to find a mean3 of checking the victorious career of tho previous Britannia. On the measurements\nsuggested she will rate So closely to the\nrating of the first-class cutters, Nyria\nand White Heather, that the measurement allowances due between them will\nbe of a very trifling description.\nThis goes with the spirit of the new\nrules; but even more valuable support\nto their provisions ls the fact that the\nnew vessel will be of exactly the\nstaunch and useful type which it is\nspecially desired to cultivate. Thero\nwill be nothing of the \"freak,\" or of\nthe extreme racing machine in the design.\nLondon's Infant Slaughter.\nJohn Burns, the English Labor member and Cabinet Minister, the sixteenth\nmember of a family of eighteen children, nine of whom survived, said to\ntho national . conference on Infantile\nmortality In London: \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ,\n\"I believe I am well w._thln the marl-\nwhen I say that there are roughly 100,-\n000 Uvea sacrificed in some form or another every year, not to man's inhumanity, but to neglect, carelessness,\nthoughtlessness and ignorance. It ls\npathetic to know that In some districts\nfrom 30 to 60. per-cent, of the total children born die under five years. Wealth\nhas Increased, but tile Infant has not\nshared It. Physical comforts have Increased, and yet the weakest and the\nsmallest bear an undue share of the\nburden of death. It seems as though\nmaterial progress ls hitting ths child\ntoo hard.\"\nHard Work.\nMrs. A.\u00E2\u0080\u0094I'm surprised that your\nI husband earns so little If he works as\ni hard as you say.

The\nfish experimented upon were kept living in a glass tank, having a mirror\nplaced beneath, so as to reflect light\nupon the under skies of the flsTi. One\nof theso prisoners survived for three\nyears under conditions so strangely different from its ordinary habits of life,\nand all of thom exhibited the development of spots of pigment on tbelr lower\nsurfaces. The experimenters concluded that It is exposure to light that\ncauses the coloration of the upper\nparts of the bodies, not only of flounders, but of other fish, and, conversely,\nthat lt Is to the comparative absence\nof light that the whiteness of under\nsides of fish Is due. They extend tho\nsame principle to explain the colorless\ncondition of the skins of many animals\nthat pass all their lives in caves.\nBird Songs.\nNaturalists bave loug been puzzled\nas to how birds learn to slug. .Does it\ncome natural to a bird of a certain\nr.pecles to slug the song common to Its\nkind or does It learn to Imitate whatever song It most hears during the\nearly days of Its life? Experiments\nmade by a well known student of bird\nlife proved that most birds simply learn\nby imitation. He placed young linnets\nto be reared by skylarks, woodlarks,\ntitlarks and other breeds, nnd in every\ncase the linnet learned the song of his\nfoster parents. Again, a number of linnets wero reared whero they had no\nchance of hearing the song of any\nbird nt all. In duo course they begun\nto sing, but their song was entirely\noriginal. Tho cuckoo, however, seems\nto be an exception, for although It is\nalmost Invariably reared b.v foster\nparents of any species but its own,\nit nlways slugs to perfection its own\npeculiar song, quite uninfluenced by\nthe vocal efforts'of its guardians.\nOrigin of the Strike I'nnil.\nTlie earliest mention of a strike fund\noccurred in the strike of tlio Parisian\nstocking weavers in 1724, when a\ncrown a day was subscribed for every\nstriker and all blacklegs wero mercilessly boycotted. But the biggest strike\nunder the \"ancient regime\" was that\nof the silk factory hands at Lyons\nIn 1714, when 12,000 men went on\nstrike aud so alarmed the mayor that\nhe conceded everything they asked nnd\nwrote to his brother that he had \"la\ntete cassee par cette vile canaille.\"\nThe \"vile canaille,\" however, had bad\ntheir moment, and lt was no longer\ntheirs. Two months later the king\nsent' down 20,000 soldiers \"pour re-\nmettre I'ordre dans la bouneville de\nLyon,\" and wc hear no more of strikes\ntill the supreme strike of 1780.\nA Snail's Sense of Smell.\nProfessor E. Yung of Geneva discovered that the keen sense of smell attributed to the ordinary snail ia distributed\nover the entire body not covered hy the\nshell, the two pairs of tentacles, the\nlips and the edges of tlie feet being\nparticularly sensitive. In the experiments mado a brush dipped In various\nodorous substances in turn was brought\nnear the different parts of tlio body, and\nresponses were noted at distances of\none twenty-fifth of an inch to several\nInches. Only in exceptional cases was\nodor perceived as much as fifteen or\ntwenty inches away, showing that smell\ncannot guide these creatures to food far\nremoved.\nThe Mulberry Tree.\nSilk is the great industry of northern\nItaly, and tho plains of the quadrilateral aro dark with mulberry trees. The\nmulberry tree ls the hardest worked\npiece of timber in the world. First its\nleaves are skinned off for tho worms\nto feed on, theu the little branches are\nclipped for the worms to nest in, then\nthe large limbs nre cropped for charcoal, and the trunk has uot only to\nproduce a new crop of loaves and\nlimbs for next yeur, but must act as\ntrellis for a grapevine.\niiii Duuulli' Hastiness,\n\"That was a perfectly lovely gentleman I met lust night,\" declared tho\npretty milliner. \"He has a good, reliable business too.\"\n\"What Is It?\" asked her friend.\n\"Why, he sells farm Implements,\"\ncontinued the pretty girl.\n\"What kind of farm implements?\"\n\"Buckets\u00E2\u0080\u0094nothing but buckets. lie\ntold mo he kepi u bucket shop.\"\n.'DODD'S '/\nIkidney\n\ PILLS -\u00E2\u0080\u00A2-\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nleeding F>il\nEntirely Cured\nWhen Doctor's Treatment and Surgeon's\nKnife Failed Gure Was Effected by\nDr. Chase's Ointment.\nIt is now universally conceded that\nI?r.

P. R. official, -was ln Nelson last\nweek; a deputation waited upon him\nand urged In eloquen' language that the\nC. P.

Inside was written: \"B. A.\nSt.-ong, Oxford College, May 24, 1676.\"\nUnderneath this appeared the name\nJames Hayward, 1685. The other book\nwas Seneca's Tragedies, and it waa\nmarked the date 1659.\nIn the English book was written tho\nnames of David Fowles and Michael\nCarney. Around the books, which wera\nIn a good state of preservation, was a\nlarge piece of bark on which wera\nmarks believed to be plans of other\ncaves.
