And weptand mourned by thtJfcnely grave ftor the beautiful Ufa that could not last The treasure no tenaerest prayer could save. Then Into the world we turned away, And sorrow waited vita us day by day. A faded flower and a torn white glove letter a lock of hair, half curled ftoor, sad bequests of our dear dead love. Yet worth the wealth or the whole wide world. A ahell, a pebble, may tell aright Of the ocean's depth and tho ocean's might. We made a grave, and we 6aid good-by. Ah, foolish dreamers! we moved apart. And thought, to our folly, Love could die. While life throbbed on In the brain and heart.

It was a morning toward tho height of April; across tho lifted arch of bluo sky a light wind was herding a flock of furry little clouds The magic of a few warm days had frothed tho silver poplars In starry foliage, maples along the road were alert with small honey dipped foliage, and here and there a bush showed itielf strung with pale green beads Aa the wagon went on, springing im pulse of tho year seemed to stir in Duko Bunyan's blood, for ho squared himself to an upright attitude, and having told the their tracks, ho began a tender lay, whoso burden 'was Then I'll stand oncet more Aside her door.

There were other houses and a store hard by. hut this houso had an air of quaint neatness that mado it noticeable in a Kentucky town It was of one story, und so low that unwittingly one bent his head in crossing tho thresh old. A porch ran tho front length, painted with the rest of tho house a decent drab color, like tho even curtains in tho two front windows Tho door was darker and had an iron knocker Tho narrow ( bricked nlk to tho gato wor a fictitious redness. o to a certain wash spread over It on Saturday mornings at 8 precisely of the clock This reddening process had not kept some thrifty nnis.fjroui casting up a num ber of little mounds in tho chinks, each with a hollow on top like a dimplo in a dark cheek. Daily these defiant bulwarks were thrust down by Miss Elizabeth Sliat tue'e broom, daily they rose again. When the lime of year permitted. Miss Elizabeth was generally out sweeping at the hour when Duko Runyan went by If there was any design on either side it had custom of twenty years to sanction it.

"Eight pretty day. Miss 'Beth. Still a workin', are yem" She leaned over tho gato. "Law, yes, Mr. Runyan. Tears liko thar's no end to It. Now these ants.

Noble as to high brow, clear eyes, and finely modeled lips, though tho beauty of these was stained with a querulous expression, born less of suffering than of a profound realization of his difference from other men. Ho sat In a chair shaped to his meager proportions; before him was a table laden with odd tools, coils of wire, sheets of paper over wrought with diagrams, and othere of the furniture that appertains to the man of inventive turn. He was working on a small wheel, tho hundredth continent of his ambitious hopes, ho set it down as he looked nar rowly at his sister "What does Juke Runyan keer ef I'm well er sick. s'Betb?" "1 reckon he jest feels friendly. Gene." "Dm ml think so Don't yeh reckon he'd feel a heap friendlier ef he wnz to go by somo fine day an" see a string o' crape a-danglin' on the door knob. s'BethT "I'd be ashamed to loose sech thoughts, Eugene Shattucl" exclaimed his sister, indignantly "I would so T yeh feel thet a ways I'll go out in tho kitchen.

"Yeh'd marry thet man ef 'twuzn't fer me. s'Beth me an" the promise yeh mado to mother thet yeh wouldn't never let uothin' come betwixt us." S'Beth's lips quivered; then she smiled "Well.

'Lizabeth Shattucl 1 won't hev itl" She ciudo to him swiftly, and shut his eyes against her hreu-st. Something like amused satisfaction curled his lips. "Thct sort o' talk alwuz fetches her," ho was thinking "I didn't go to stare nt yeh, honey," murmured his sister "I'm only a study in' how I can do fer yeh to make yeh happy I want yeh to quit a nialcin' out liko yeh jedgeil I wuz hankerin' to marry away from yeh me that promitsed never to let nothin' separato us." Sho was closo to tears. Her nature was a familiar instrument to her brother, and ho moved tho tuno that pleased hi3 mood upon its tight drawn strings. Not long after sho had gone about her morning work 'dene was roused from hia muso bv a shrill greeting- "Ain't yeh go in' to givo mo a hid to como in, Mr. Shat tucV" looking up ho saw Looly Ann Beas ley standing in tho doorway Sho was a young woman, whoso fresh fato looked as if it had been stroked upward in tho pliant timo of babyhood, her hairless eyebrows and dented upper lip roso abruptly at each center; thero was even an upward turn of her chin, in which Nature had planted a hard little dimple, as if by way of vicious experiment "How're y'all doin"?" sho asked, cheer fully "On'yfrom fairtomiddlin. Looly Ann," said 'Geno. "Como an' shako hands." Ho took a grim delight in forcing folks to take his bent right hand, ho liked to seo them blench at its chill touch, unnat ural in temperature as in shape. "Set down an tell us what's goin" on." Miss Beasloy carried tho very latest nows in Shelbyvillo, and her version of it was fresh, fermenting and expansive ss new wine that keeps to tho shapo of tho vessel whilo it undergoes curious changes. 'Geno liked to hear her talk; tho distinct flavor of malice that pervaded her views pleased him with its sharp taste. "What's happened o' late, Looly Ann?" ho pursued. "Awe, nothin" ever happens hyero," sho replied, with a flare of her nostrils; "thar hezn't been a thing goin' on in this town fer risin" a month 'less yeh'd call tho church doin's last night sumpthln'. I went, but I don't givo a snap o my linger fer church doin's." "'Twuz a social, wuznt it?" "Yes; but yeh'd 'a thought it wuz a cyurcus from tho way people turned out. Why, wuzu't you 'n s'Beth thar? Y'all gcnrully tako in sech things." "I felt too porely, an' s'Beth wouldn't hycar to leavin' mo I didn't wont her to stay home, but she wouldn't hov it no other way," said 'Geno. "Well, yeh didn't miss nothin", 'ccpt ono thing, an' likely yeh wouldn't a no ticed it ez 1 did. Ever seo that nieco o Mis' Bylands thct's visitin' her from Breathitt county?" "Littlo low gyurl fair complected?" "Yes hcz yciler hair." "1 b'lievo I've seen her a'passin'; don't her nose do somcthin' funny?" said 'Geno, In ileucato compliment to JMlss Ueasloy, who said tho nose in question w:is "sorter curyus." "Most folks think she's mighty pretty, thougli. Well, ez 1 wuz tellin', sho wuz nt tho social, an' it would 'a tickled yeh to death to 'a watched Juke Runyan set tin' up to her. Yeh know them old baches geurully do fancy a right young fool of a gyuxL llo gallavanted her tho hull even ing, an' his maw, old lady Runyan, wuz pleased ez punkins; she passed tho re mark thet sho whisht to goodness Jtiko 'd marry, an' she 'lowed ef ho settled to suit her. she'd givo him her houso. an' build a now shed kitchen ou, fer a wedding pres eut. Fur ez I'm consalriicd, I ain't a-bld-din fer tho position o' darter in law to her; they say sho can smell dust on tho chimbley pots, an' I'vo seen her with my own eyes n-scrubbin' tho insido of her kitchen table. I hov so." S'Beth had begun to put down her filceves when sho heard Miss Beasloy's voice; still stood In tho kitchen, tho light rattlo of gossip falling hotly on her ears, her arms still bared, tho knuckles show inc whitely on her shut hands. While ucr shaken mlna strovo to a comprehen sion of its pain, sho was oddly conscious of observing tho delicato flushing of her hard set finger nails, bleached at each tip in a whito crcscnt that held by a space of vivid rose color from tho smaller arc at tho base. Her larger emotions were calmed and held by this littlo sensation, as runidng waters by n dam of clay. Presently sho began to seo that her tranquil happiness during the long years had been n result less of her slavish dovo tion to 'Geno than of her perfect trust hi Duko Runyan's unspoken faithfulness. it canio in upon her tliat ho was right to givo over a woman who could sacrifice him as well as herself, and who cared more for breaking her box of nard at tho feet of a fancied duty than for him and his welfare. Onco there camo an impetuous desire to fling off her bondago, but it was throttled at tho first gasp by tho thought of Mrs. Byland's nicco. Sho had seen tho girl often, and that flower of a face In Its web of bright hair mocked at her. She raised a quick hand to her cheek, and as she felt tho flabby laxness of tho flesh, she real ized with a qualm of physical sickness that sho was young no more. "S'Beth, I'm goin' out on a littlo arrant. Don't yeh go to sweep in yonder, er tech a thing on my table, mind yehl Thet wheel don't want to get the first smitch o dust on it." 'Gene was passing through tho kitchen. Ho had on a soft hat, and carried n staff. Hi3 faco was paler than its wont, and wore a stern expression. As tke bent form went by her. and she saw tho writhed fingers shut over the knotty stick, any hard thoughts she had felt for him went out of s'Beth 's mind forever. "Don't yeh go too fur, bro' "Gene," she said. Sho called him brother only hi mo ments of tenderness, while ho rarely spoke her name without the sibilant that stood for sister. Sho thought he used it merely from habit. "I'm goin' to bake an apple roll fer dinner, an' yeh musn't bo too out done to enjoy it." m hev my mouth fixed fer It," ho said as he went out. Sho set to work, hard driven by her feelings, and tho square reality of pots and pans relieved her mightily. The ta blo was set forth, and she was watching two eggs frying hi the skillet, their golden spheres quivering in shoals of white, wbenJGene came.back. "Set tight down to the tadia, "tieiie, ftfl 111 slap one of these eggs onter your plate while it's rale hot- 1 11 pass my word yeh're feelin' kind o' gone after tbet walk. Whar at wuz yeh?" "I didn't git so awful for Jes down to whar Jcems Hoggins is goin' to put up his house; tain't no good half mile, but I felt like I'd been drawed through s knot hole back'ards "bout the time lgot than spring o' the year. I reckon." He sighed. "Yeh oughtn't a went thet for wars nohow," remonstrated s'Beth, ss she poured the coffee. "I didn't walk back; 1 couldnt of. Juke Runyan wuz Jest jmttin' out with a load o' dirt, so I got aboard, an' kern np tho street with him." There was a pause. "I reckon he's a pretty square man. thet Juke Runyan humph! s'Beth?" "Who Juke Runyan? Oh yes. I reckon so." "Well. 1 eh'd Jedge yeh ought to know fer dead V certain by this time. I ast him whyn't he never come in to see me no more, an' ho lowed yeh never give him no favor to come: he said he'd been wantln' to ast me fer some tune how many more years I wuz goin' to keep you an' him from marryin' " "Did be say thet?" breathed s'Beth. "Ho did. fer a straight fact. S L Look-a-hyero. man. how's I goin' to know yeh wanted my sister when yeh never come an ast mo fer her? did yeh 'low I wuz likely to pitch her at yeh? Then I told him I'd bed it pretty straight thet he wuz runuin' around with Dacio By lands." "N what did be say?" said s'Beth. hi a low voico. "Why, ho jos haw-hawed.

"Bro' 'Gene, yeh didn't hunt thet man up to tell him yeh'd rather see me marry him than to seo me frettin', did yeh? Fer ef yeh did " Her high voice broke. Sho leaned over the table, her brown eyes largo with dread of his reply. "S'Beth. no 1 never! I got to studyin' 'bout my meanness in tryin' to cramp your life liko my body wuz cramped; an' what with thet an' a remark Looly Ann Bcaslcy dropped this mo'nln'.

He wuz strong set to come in to dinner, but I jedged thar wouldt't bo enough apple roll fer three would thar of?" " 'Geno." said s'Beth, with a gravity of tono that seemed at odds with her words, "thar'll alwuz be enough roll fer three; an' ef any ono ever hcz to go without, it won't bo you'ns."

" said a Maiden lane manufact urer anil importer who is something of a wag. "Why is it all wrong?" "Well, there may bo bully bo; s, but there is no Mich thing jis a glass eye." "What would you call this?" we" asked, at the same time holding up an artificial human eye. "I would call that a crystal eye, becauso it is made out of crystal, and not out of glass." "Is there any difference?" "Of course there is. As I understand it, crystal eyes cannot be molded into shape. Just how they arc colored and madeto imitate the natural eye I have no idea. " You see, the method of making artificial human eyes out of crystal is ono of the secret arts. I havo tried to see whether there is not something in the books, but tho writers maintain a deep silence on the subject." "Where are most of the artificial eyes made?" "Wo import most of our eyes from France. The manufacture of artificial human eyes is in the hands of a few French workmen, who keep the process a secret, tho same as tho workers on (lobelin tapestry keep their art a secret. There are two or three in this country en gaged in the manufacture of artificial eyes, but their product lacks often the close finish and the naturalness of the French. Yet wo can make a good eye to order." "How much would an eyo to order cost?" "Not over 15. We keep a large as sortment in stock, und if wo can fit a man tho cost would bo only $10. There is not such a difference in people's eyes as most persons suppose The ordinary blaevc eye. the light and dark bluo eye and the gray eye, aud what is called the wall eyo ore pretty much on the some pattern. Oculists have studied the dif ferent shades and tints of the eye so long that they make a pretty good match to tho natural eye. Not only that, but they can fit an artificial eye exactly hi the place of a diseased eyo after the latter has been removed. If the muscles havo not lieen damaged, the artificial eye can be made to roU a littlo after the manner of a good eye, but hardly in 'the fine frenzy' of the past. I have known cases so skillfully done that it was a hard mat ter to tell at tho first glance which was the artificial and which was the natural, although a sharp observer would dis tinguish it in a short time." "Do you think thero are many bully lioys in New York with ghvw eyes?" wo laughingly inquired. "Well, I can hardly say how many New Yorkers sleep with one eye open. A fair estimate would pcrliaps bo over 1,000 or 1.200. A great many from out of the city como to be fitted with artificial eyes. l can jnugo somewhat of the number by the amount of my sales every year." "I suppose you have come across some curious cases?" "Yes, I could tell you some funny ex periences which I have had. I remember one young lady who was never suited with her eye, and had it changed once or twice a year. Another old lady used to loo her eyo about onco or twico a year. Ono man who usod to go on periodical sprees often went home without his eyo. lie camo to mo ono day and ordered an extra optic. Ho said that he wanted to be prepared for any emergency. But I guess the greatest emergency was meet ing his wife after being out all night." L. J. Vance in New York Graphic. story or a Picture. A curious story is told about one of the paintings by the famous artist David, which is included in a collection about to be sold nt Brussels, Belgium. It bears the title of "Family Portraits," yet only one figure is represented on the canvas, that of an old lady seated in an arm chair. The chair itself was of a later style than the date of the painting. In spite of these peculiarities M. Van Praet, the late owner, had purchased the work. He then had it cleaned and carefully scraped, in the course of which operation the family "portraits" were successively brought to light. It was afterward as certained that the old lady, who had sat to David for her portrait, surrounded by all the members of her family, had gradually quarreled with them all in turn and had had their portraits painted over one by one, until she alone of the group remained, sitting in that preposterous looking chair of hers.

Experience of a Waggish Club Mitn at a New York Drinking Fountain. I have a friend of the clubs as mad a wag as ever lived when the humor of his before dinner absinthe is upon him. We were crossing u public square, one balmy evening last spring; o'clock had juat been screeched at us by every factory whistle withiug hearing, and the sidewalks were a swarm. "I'll lay you the dinners," said my farteur, "that I can create a riot here in side of five minutes." lie stopied at the public drinking foun tain and took up the tiu cup that was chained to it. The passers by stared a little tosee so elegant a gentleman stop to drink at a common fount of cheap refreshment. Several halted, after going on a few paces, to look back. He filled the cup deliberately. The waiting several had become a score. He raised the cup slowly toward his lips. The score grew to fifty. Suddenly he dashed the water into the basin aud filled the cup again, only to again empty it untouched. By this time we were encircled by so many people that they could not be counted, aud I could hear such observations and inquiries all around us, as: "He'll drink it this time." "Het you the drinks he don't." "Must be dirty." "What is it" . ' "May be the cup leaks." 'J' "He must be some crank." "What ails him, anyhow?" "May be common water isn't good enough for him." There was also addressed to him, through this running fire of comment, many more or less friendly and disinter ested suggestions and instruction1), like: "Wrench the cup out" from a motherly fat woman, poking her umbrella at him. "Have a sticK in it," by a man with a shiny black hat and a shiny red nose. "Tell the waiter to open another bottle." This sally, which proceeded from a young man in crossed barred trousers, with a very large and massive cane, which he carried like a yard stick, was hailed with such applause that a park police man found himself called upon to inter fere; whereupon my friend hurled the cup into the basin with an expression of the face indicative of great disgust and loatlung, and shoved his way out of the crowd as quickly as he could. We could hear the roar of voices and the sharp rapping of the policeman's club when we turned into the restaurant, a block and more away; and I learned by the papers, next day, that the shiny red nose and the shiny black hat slept in a station house cell on a general charge of disorderly con duct and the utterance of murderous threats against some person or persons unknown. It is the same crowd that inspects the sewer hole into which a shiny man de scends, the cellar excavation where the men are not working because it is wet weather, the house Mrs. Laugtry lives in, or the man at the fountain. This same crowd will invest a shop window where a pasteboard cobbler is stitching at a paper shoe under the propulsion of the heat from a gas jet, or rather under a three ton safe that is being hoisted up to a tenth Btory window by a rope that may be rot ten and machinery that may be on tho point of giving way, for all the thought they give to it, or pack a street where some roofers have left a tar pot boiling while they have sat down on a doorstep to eat their dinner. The quality and quan tity of amusement an average New York street idler can extract from an hour's stare at an untended tar pot will, no doubt, ever remaiu a mystery to you and me. But such as it is, he extracts it, and is, to all appearances, quite satisfied with his ltarguin. Alfred Trunible in The Argonaut. The Shlp'a "Dead Reckoning." finding the way at sea depends on two methods, each of which is theoretically complete in itself dead reckoning aud astronomical observation. As observa tion may be prevented by thick wcat her, the second method may fail throughout a voyage or during tho critical parts of it when land is approached. Thus dead reckoning, on which in many cases the the most scientific captains may have to trust, must Im considered firut. Dead reckoning (why called "dead" I do not know nor greatly care) depends on the determination hour by hour of the di rection and velocity of tho ship's motion, and the determination thence of her posi tion after each day's various movements. If we know a ship's position at a given time, say at noon on July 1, and she sails or steams at a known rate in a determined direction for a certain time, an hour, say, we can calculate her position at tho end of that, hour, subject to (he action of cur rents. Since the rate and direction of currnts are mostly known we can tako this particular cause of motion into ac count. Thus we can mark in on our chart the position of tho ship at the end of the hour. So at the end of the next interval of time during which her course remains unchanged and so forth till finally we determine her position at noon on July 2. This is not necessarily or probably twenty-four hours from noon, July 1, as in the new position now attained there is differ ent local time, earlier if the ship is west of her former positipn, later if she is east of it. Going on in this way day after day. tho ship's course can bo "charted in, and her position is known from day to day or in other words, those who havo her in charge thus find their wav from port to port. Theoretically this is all right, practically there are difficulties. The circumstances which render "dead reckoning" an unsatisfactory method of navigation ore unfortunately numerous. Richard A. Proctor. Cnban Surveillance Over Girl. Probably no peoplo are so rigorous in tho care and surveillance of girls as the Spanish. Tho idea extends to women in many wise respects. In school, at play, in the social homo gatherings, the bov and the girl are rigidly kept apart, or. if permitted each other's society, it is under the strictest espionage. A little girl can not step outside her home without a pro tector. A maiden or young lady is never seen upon the street alone. Any woman thus seen is instantly known as a doubt ful person or worse. If my nina goes to school a father, a brother or a mother ac companies. The airing is nearly always taken in a carriage. In it must bo a re sponsible member of tho family. No young, unmarried woman may visit a friend, attend the theatre or be seen at a reception or a ball, unless her parents are with her. If she have a lover he must come to the house and pay his respects to her like a gentleman. His attentions are not secret, surreptitious, dangerous. . His choice is known to his friendn t hers. it-.mnmt ha a.cloan. buainsaa. all around. Her proper prTvileges ana nis under this regime, I am inclined to think, arc greater, not less. She cocs as much, but tho whole family, something as with the sensible German people, go along nlso. If the lover desire an engagement to tho ball or opera with his senorita ho must first proposo at headquarters. Then her pleasure is sought. If she accord there are no misunderstand- j ings in that family. If it be a ride on the j Calle- Ancha del Norto or the Calzadode la Kelna, tlicy aro all again there, it it bo a promenade on the Prado the whole family promenades, frequently both fam ilies. The lover .himself , in "short, in all these undertakings while treated with real dignity is much less an affair to be considered than other things. Edgur L. Wakeman. Attention lo Minor Milliner And to descend to the lowest thing about a gentleman, wc should remember that his minor manners must be attended to; he does not swear or smoke in the presence of women.-hc does not eat his dinner iu a hurry, he does not cru'nblo his bread about, making it into pills; he doc not eat his soup with a hissing sound, or tip the plate to get tho last drop; ho mends his table manners if they are bad, he dresses himself well if his means will allow; bo he ever so jioor he must be clean. If he commits any little error at the dinner table ho must learn to le com posed; he must 1h deaf and blind to the errois of others iu society. .But etiquette never means stiffness. The best bred peo ple are tho unconscious. So sudden are the rise in American so lieiy that many a man has been invited to a dinner party to eat his dinner off the plate which he lately washed. A jKjliti clan may rise from Iwing a waiter to being president of tho United States. And he is a better man and abetter diner out, a bet ter president, if, when he was a waiter, ho had good manners and was obedient. "He also serves who only stands and waits," has a greater master than the one who pays him his wages. Tho noble old quota tion can be read two ways. A man may thus be a gentleman ut heart even in'H. condition of servitude. Many an old black Uncle Tom was a gentleman, but it would not have been projer to thus an nounce him to his master. M E. W Sherwood in Philadelphia Times. Hair Spring of a Watch. The making of the hair spring is really tho most delicate operation about the manufacture of the watch. The wire is received in spools, and is nothing more than a round thread. This is run between hardened steel rollers aud llattened, and, being wound on the roll, is then drawn between diamond dies, which give the re quired thickness and width. The spring must be of exactly the same width and thickness, and before being used is tested on a register which marks down to one two hundred aud fifty thousandths of an inch. To show to what fineness this meas ures, a hair placed between the jaws marked 400, and moved forward half an inch registered oG5c. Of course, every one knows that a hair varies iu thickness, but that it should be so exactly measured is a surprise; and when it is remembered that the hair spriug of a watch cannot vary even so much as the variance in a hair from the human head, the delicacy of the operation will be emphasized in the imagination. The wire is received in lengths of 1,500 yards, and in this entire length must not vary y, or one-thirtieth of what a hair varies in half an inch. The spring is then cut into lengths of twelve inches, nnd these are wound, four at a time, and very quickly, the tool resembling a large pen holder, and turning from the end, into the shape of a spring nnd of seventeen coils. The wire is hardened, but winds very easily, nnd is removed from the winder in copper boxes. Globe-Democrat. Trying to Cheat the Bank. "Thero any number of people, some times, I think, as many as nine out of ten, who seem to think it no crime to cheat a bank," said a clerk in a financial institu tion to a reporter. "If there is a streak of meanness anywhere in a man's naturo it will crop out when he is put to the test on a question of money. Sometimes I havo amused myself by experimenting with men to find out-whethcr they were honest. There is an easy way of ascer taining, For instance, a depositor hands in his bank book, together with a number of bills and checks, the amounts of which are to be placed to his credit. He has made out a deposit ticket, which ho holds in his hand while I count tho money. 'How much?' I ask. 'What do you make it?' he inquires. I name a sum $3 or $10 larger than I have ascertained the amount to be. "If tho man is honest he will say ho thinks I am mistaken, but often he will turn HTound and make out another deposit ticket, fixing tho amount to correspond with tho figures I have given. Then, of course, I count tho cash again and an nounce that I havo made a mistake, and to prove it hand back the money and let him recount it. Meu whom nobody would ever suspect of crookedness iu business matters uro often very quick to take ad vantage of a little mistake in their favor. I know several wealthy gentlemen who, I truly believe, would never think of pay ing back any sum, large or small, that got into their hands through a bank clerk's mistake." Pittsburg Dispatch. The riiyslcluii ami the t'dok. Considered from tho standpoint of mor ality and hygiene, which in somo respects seems almost one and the same thing, there is no reform movement thai appeals so directly to the largo hearted physician as this present effort going on among us to secure rational cookery and authorita tive kuowledgo of facts and rules in dietetic science.

After 110 years of association with whito men in California, there is not now in our state one first rate farmer, mechanic or bookkeeper of pure aboriginal blood; not ono merchant or owner of a large herd of cattle. Many Indians have been good workers for a few weeks or months at a timo in vineyards, orchards, hop fields, rain fields and sheep shearing, but at the closo of tho season they have wasted their earnings in dissipation, and then lounged about in idleness until another period of higher wages would stimulate them to exertion. This Modo of lifo among the men, the degraded character of the women, the squalor of their dwellings, and the frequency of thefts near their camps, render them very undesirable as neighbors. Thero never has been a timo since 18-1C when an Indian disposed to work faith fully could not get regular and profitable employment; when he could not savo enough in a year to pay for forty acres of laud; and when after buying ho could not be protected in its possession. Thousands of white men, after arriving in California without a dollar, becamo rich by toil and economy; with better opportunities, for he was here when tho common laborer could get $10 or $20 a day, not ono Indian has done so.

Boston Post. A Famous Doctor Once said that the secret of good health consisted in keeping the head cool, tho feet warm, and the bowels open. Had this eminent physician lived in our day, and known the merits of Ayer's Pills as an aperient, he would certainly have recommended them, as so many of his distinguished successors aro doing. The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of Norwich, Conn., recommends Ayer's Pills as tiie lcst of all remedies for " Intermittent Fevers." Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport, Conn., says: "Ayer's Pills are highly and universally spoken of by the people about here. I make daily use of them in my practice." Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass., says : " Having prescribed many thou sands of Aycr- Pills, in my practice, I can unhesitatii.ly pronounce them the best cathartic in use." Tho Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr. A. A. Hayes, certifies : " I have made a careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They contain the aclivu principles of well known drugs, isolated from inert mat ter, which plan is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. It iinures activity, certainty, and uni formity of effect. " Ayer's Pills contain u metallic or mineral sultstuticc, hut tht virtues of vegetable remedies iu si. ill till combination."

It is exceedingly difficult for a hotel clerk out of employment to secure a jHxsi tiou in any of the leading hotels. There are at least three clerks who have held po sitions iu the principal hotels who have lKen out of employment for a year or more. They have given up hope of se curing employment here in any of the leading hotels. Yet they ranked high among their associates, and in every re spect were llr.it class men. But they say that when a vacancy occurs in any of "the hotels the position is given to a man from some other city. A clerk from Phila delphia, Boston or Chicago is preferred. .More people come here lroni those cities than from any others. A clerk from Philadelphia, for instance, it is expected will iutltieuce a large number of x-ople from the Quaker City to stop sit the hotel which employs him, whereas a New York clerk will not posses such an influence. New York World. The ClilnAnimi'H Devotion to Rice. The Chinaman's devotion to his rice is as great as tin Englishman's to his dinner, nnil at their regular times for "chow" 11 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon nothing can take him away from his bowl of rice. As all the city life is al fresco one sers miles of feeding Chinamen if he progresses through the streets at their meal hours. In each open room or shop the scene is the same a circle of dirty heathens gathered around a table, ihoveling the rice into their mouths as fast as chopsticks can play, the edges of the bowls being held to their mouths merely as a funnel to direct the stream. One can stand in the shops, vainly waiting to purchase, and a surly Chinaman will only come forward when he has finished his IkjwI of rice, and has a sublime in difference to trade, profits and cheating when it is his rice time. Canton Letter. Curious Coincidences. A London telegram relates an amusing incident that occurred in a case on trial in one of the civil courts on Saturday. One of the attorneys in the ease was Mr. Henry F. Dickens son of the novelist, nnd during the progress of the trial he brought down the house by calling as u witness John Pickwick. Quoth the presiding baron: "What an appropriate witness to be sworn for a Dickens!" This caused immense merriment, which increased when Mr. Dickens added: "By a still more curious coincidence the witness is a descendant of Mr. Moses Pickwick, pro prietor of the Bath coach, from which I have reason to believe the character of Mr. Pickwick was taken, and I verily be lieve that one of the reasons why I was retained in the case was that I might call Mr. Pickwick."
