MICKEY FINN'S VIOLET.
Out of tlio ground at the foot of the
big line tree in Lindsley's wood there
frew si violet. Twas after much hesita
tion that the flower had 'pushed its way
up through tho carpet of brown needles
which covered it, and at last timidly
showed its head. Every morning a
slanting Ixani of sunlight shot through
the branches of tho big pine and kissed
the purple lips of tho flower and drank
up the beads of dew which nestled in its
green leaves. After many days of strug
gling the flower legan to manufacture
its new spring bonnet. This bonnet was
"woven in looms of air" and shaped by
the "bhuttles of tho sun." Still, while
thi.-j process was going on, tho flower
often shrink and trembled as a vicious
blast, lingering over from March, chilled
its U ii'h-r leaves. Hut one day, when tho
Min was brighter than usual, the lion net
opened itself and a subtle perfume came
from it and mingled with the balsamic
odor of the pine ami tho faint breath of
tho hoiiev.-uc kle. 'Tw:is tho eau do co

IKned that Mrs. Finn saw tho gait com
ng. 8he closed the gate and made prep
arations for defense, but the billy vaulted
over tho fence, and liegan bis eld time
foraging in tho back yard for cabbage
stumps and the juicy iiotato paring.
Mrs. Finn was afraid of tho billv. Fre
quent encounters had taught her he was
not to le trifled with. Sho stood in tho
kitchen door, armed with a clothes ole.
When tho goat camo" within reach she
used this weaixin upon the goat's back;
but when the croat resented this famil
iarity sho retreated into tho kitchen, and
closed the door lehind her.
After a nu-jler of these encounters
the goat rambled around into tho front
yard. Here he fed upon tho fresh and
uiicy crocus and the budding hyacinth.
Mrs. Finn looked helplessly out of the
window at tho destruction going on.
Sho droprod a 6ad iron upon the billy's
head, but bo only shook his head and
resumed his feeding. A stove plate
roused a little more animation in the
goat. Still ho pursued his wicked under
taking. Take care, violet!
When the goat reached Mickey's flower
he ate the brown paper first, anil then
with one fell snap of nis jaws took in the
precarious violet. This must have proved
very toothsome to him, for he lingered
over the choice morsel like a gourmet
until Mrs. Finn deluged him with a kettle
of hot water. Then ho rolled over on
the ground" in pain. Finding no relief
in this, he jumped over tho fenco and
went down tho Old Point road at a gal
lop and disapjieared. After his departure
Mrs. Finn went out to estimate the dam
ape. Suddenly it occurred to her that
Mickey would lo heartbroken if he dis
covered that his violet was gone. How
could she repair tho damage? Ha! she
had it. There must le other violets in
the wood. Flying down the road went
Mrs. Finn, fire shovel in hand. She
climbed a stono wall and went headlong
through a brake of blacklerrv bushes in
tho wood. Tho birds were singing and
tho squirrels clattering overhead, but
sho paid no attention to them. At last,
in a little shady hollow, her search was
rewarded. Carefully she dug up a fine
violet and started for home.
- Sho put it in the place where the other
had lieen, and fifteen minutes later the
brown paper was in josition over the
violet, and all signs of the goat's inva
sion were removed. Then Mickey came
home. The first thing ho did was to ex
amine tho flower. While Mrs. Finn was
still busy washing the dirt from her
hands her lxy dashed into tho 6hanty.

SoaKkin Sanjurs.
The best sealskins and tho majority of
them come from Alaska. The seals are
caught near shore, and driven to seal
jH'n.s on the land. Here they are kept
and fed for a time like other cattle until
killing time. Thoj- are not allowed to Ix?
killed until they are 2 years old nor after
they are 4. The skins of baby seals are
too tender, and tho old seals are kept for
breeding. When they are killed theskjns
are all packed in brine and sent to I?ir
don. It scorns odd that sealskins which
are obtained within tho United States
have to Ik? taken out of it and carried over
the long journey from Alaska to Eng
land to be cured and dyed, and then
brought back to the United States again
for s ale. Such is the fact, however. The
lest, and almut the onlv place for pre
paring sealskins is in ixinio!i itseir.ontne
banks of tho Thames, and thedirtv water
of the Thames is used in tho process.
Several attempts have lecn made to es
tablish places in tho United States, but
thev have all failed, even where the
skilled workmen were brought over from
the English establishment. It may be
the climate or it may bo the dirty Thames
water which altects tho skins peculiarly.
Whatever it is, the same skins cannot be

The Object of Con vernal ion.
That tho main object f conversation

lecture and prosy people prose, as if the
er.d in view were moral improvement, or
education, or a quiet nap, all of them
certainly excellent things m their proper

HE FOUGHT THE "TIGER."
In making these trips they generally
took turns. It was before tho days f
tho railroads; was in the old, romantic,
sociable, happy times of tho steamer
lines on the rivers of the Golden state.
It was tho regular habit of the partners
on getting off the rolling, thumping
mountain coach, to stay all night at
Sacramento, taking the boat tho next
afternoon for San Francisco. When it
was tho turn of Andrews to go down to
tho bay with the dust lie frequently did
battle with tho "tiger" while lying over
at Sacramento, but Keddy's strong 6uit
was poker. Three aces was his big
hand. Y hen he held three aces he would
bet his "bottom dollar and go his liver
and lights blind." This was so well
known that it had passed into a proverb
among tho Sacramento sports. On one
occasion, when Keddy had leen playing
all night with some Sacramento men
and quit $8,000 ahead of the game, it
was concluded to lollow him up. in
pursuance of this plan some of the sports
with whom he had spent the mghl-
Chailio Dawson among tho number
told Reddy that they had concluded, just
for the fun of tho thing, to take a little
run with linn down tho bav.
The boat had not proceeded far down
the river before, as the most natural
thing in tho world, a poker game was
started. In the game were Reddy, ros
ter, a hotel keeper from one ot the south
ern counties; Charlie Dawson, and two
other sports. A job had been put up to
raise a coju uecK anu give ieuuy nis la
voi ito hand of three aces. The game pro
ceeded, and at the proper timo Dawson
raised the deck. 1 he cards were dealt,
and Reddy got his three aces, Dawson
three kincrs and the others indifferent
hands. In the draw Dawson got the
other king, ami Reddy drew two cards,
but, having his three aces, he felt strong
enough to light an army, and he did not
nick up or look at tho two cards lie had

said, "I go you another S2.00Q better."
Quite absent mindedlj he then picked up
the two cards that had all along been
lying unnoticed at his side. The weasel
eyo of Domingo Joe detected the other
ace as the cards were lifted. Instantly
an ashy pallor spread over his weazen
visage. It seemed as though he had been
stricken by death. However, the stroke
paralyzed liini for only a moment, and
almost instantly he recovered his self
possession, and thrusting both hands into
his trousers iocket3 and assuming an
indifferent air, he sheered off from the
party, and carelessly sauntering up and
down the boat he sang:

And the other fell la there, too.
That was enough for Dawson. The
words of Domingo Joe's pretended song
came to his ears as a death knell. lie

cards and said: "Take it all. I squeal."
As Reddy raked down the whole pile
he threw a glance around the circle f

reached liis ears:

A great many strange and decidedly
remarkable events have transpired in and
about tfce famous old Mormon town, and
many occurrences, to this day unex
plained, have become matter of history.
Possibly one of tho most remarkable in
stances f mirnl reading that has ever
come to the knowledge of the jeople here
was related by Judge George Edmunds;
a prominent attorney of this state, who
now has his residence at Carthage, the
county seat of Hancock county. Judge
Edmunds wits a resident f Nauvoo dur
ing tho Mormon era, and was well known
to Joseph Smith and his apostles. Pos
sibly no other man is better informed on
Mormon history than Judge Edmunds.
At that time, as yet, tho judge owns
several extensive farms in Sonora town
ship, near Nauvoo. They are om-rated
entirely by trusted overseers. lminpnsejy "lir,mPB In tl
quantities of hay are grown and shipped p-r""mt-h 111 11
by river to 60uUiern points.
One summer," not many j-ears ago,
Judge EdmunJs was hastily summoned
to New York city. At the timo his men
were baling hay and storing it in a huge
warehouse near the river bank. Henry
Uenner, for many years a faithful em
plove, was supervising the work. The
judge priK-eeded on his journey, trans
acted his business, and was en route
heme. He was bitting in a parlor r
the afternoon after leaving New York.
Gradually he fell into a pleasant little
nap. but soon awakened. lie looked out
of the carriage window, but noticed
something peculiar on the double win
dow pane. It was a picture f his hay
farm in Sonora township and tho huge
barn on the river bank. Looking closer
he saw men and teams at work bal
ing and storing h.;v. In an in
stant one corner of the huge
building gavij way, crushing in with
a distinct sound. The judge was much
startled, but the picture then vanished.
Believing that he had been dreaming, he
gave little thought to the occurrence,
but noted the hour when he had 6een the
vision in tho glass. Arriving home he
was met by Mr. Benner, who said noth
ing. Judge Edmunds asked lum how
things were on tho farm, and received
tho reply that they were "all right, ex
cept that one corner of the big hay barn
had crushed in." Upon comparison, it
was found that the accident occurred at
the precise time and in the exact man
ner depicted in the vision m the car
window, hundreds of miles away. Judge
Edmunds does not pretend to explain
this singular incident. As to the truth
of this story, no one who knows the
judge will for an instant doubt it. Nau

leiis Dress Reform.
Dress reform for men would be a good
cry to take up, for there is no doubt that
the tables cculd be turned on the men on
the question of summer clothing. The
weight of a man's clothing in summer is
greater than that of a woman. This was
"decided some time ago by the actual
weighing of clothing and the woman s
weighed three pounds and nine ounces,
while tho man s weighed eight pounds
and ten ounces. The editor of a certain
iaily newspaper cries out in distress: "A
tailor who is ingenious enough to invent
a scheme for summer clothing for men
which will leave out the starched shirt.
and still bo neat and becoming, will
merit the praise of many sufferers and
ought to make a fortune."
W omen are the envy of men in hot
weather on account f tho lightness and
coolness of their clothing. The greatest
anathema is directed against tho cotton
shirt, and now that it is somewhat the
style to wear a woolen shut in summer
for undress comfort there is plenty of
evidence that tho woolen garment ia ve-
i erred to the cotton. A correspondent
writes; "For over twenty Tears I have
worn the ordinary loose "flannel shirts
for comfort and health; Unen dicky, col
lar and cuffs for weak minded Conces
sion to appearances, and never an un
dershirt. Same in winter us in summer.
Results, never a serious cold or illness.
and ability to do a ten mile average walk

against cotton clothing for men has
taken scientiic form in the hands of Dr.
Jaegar, and a considerable revolution
has set in toward woolen clothing in
place of it. Good Housekeeping.
A Dairy Jytery Solved.
For some time past the cows on the
ranch of S. W. Coffee, who lives about
five miles northeast of Modesto, have
been yielding little or no milk in the
morning. As the yield at night has
not been decreased it was naturally
a cause or wonder and surprise.
The conjectures as to the cause
were many, and it was finally in
vestigated. The result was truly as
tonishing. It was discovered that when
the cows were corralled at night, and
after they had laid down, a band of
6hoats that frequented the barnyard had
been in the IiaUt oi extracting the milk
from tho udder. The parties on watch
saw the young swine, about midnight,
cautiously approach the cows and com
mence suckinc with a conhdence and
zest that denoted familiarity with the
work. This story, although singular, is
vouched for by N. F. Howell. "Doc"
says the si i oats in question will squal and
whme alter the cows as persistently and
naturally as though they were calling
their mothers. Modesto (Cal.) News.
Is Marriage a Failure?
Is marriage a failure? In many indi
vidua! crises, ves; in the great aggregate
of human experience, no. We cannot
allow it to be a failure. It is the anchor
which saves a man from shipwreck. It
is the harbor into which a woman guides
her loat to find peace and safety from
life s storms, the history of all that is
greatest and best in the world records
many failures, but the eternal principles
of right move on with the resistless and
unchanging maiesty of the stars in their
course. Dare we look into the innocent
eves c f childhood and allow ourselves to
debate this subject? If but for one in
stant wo compare the conditions that
surround the cliiid born in wedlock to
tlie child born without; if we contrast
the riruation of the mothers of these two

question that should forever end the
