IXXJKIXG AT BOTH SIDES.
J The good wife bustled atout tbe boose,
Her face still bright with a pleasant smile.
As broken snatches of happy song
Strengthened her heart and her bands the
while ;
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
Uis little clay pipe within his lips,
And all be'd made and all he had lost,
Ready and clear on bis finger tips.
"Good wife, I've just been thinking a bit ;
Nothing bas done very well this year,
Money is bound to be hard to get,
Everything's sure to be very dear,
How the cattle are going to feed.
How we're to keep the boys at school.
Is a kind of debit and credit sum
I can'f niake balance by any rule,"
She turned her around front tbe baking
board.
And she faced him there with a cheerful
laagh ;
"Why, husband, dear, one would really
think
That the good, rich wheat was only chaff.
And what if wheat is only chafT,
So long as we both are well and strong t
I'm not a woman to worry a bit
But somehow or other we get along.
"Into all lives some rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat,
But when the storm and pain are o'er
The sunshine is sure to be twice as sweet.
Through every strait we have fouud a road,
In every grief we have found a song ;
We have had to bear and bad to wait.
But somehow or other we get along.
"For thirty years we have loved each other.
Stood by each other whatever befell ;
Six boys have called us 'father' and 'mother,'
And all of them living and doing well.
We owe no man a penny, my dear;
Are both of us loving aud well and strong,
Good man, I wish you would smoke again
And think how well we have got along."
He filled his pipe with a pleasant laugh,
He kissed bis wile with a tender pride ;
He said, "I'll do as you fell ine, love ;
I'll just count np on the other side."
She left him then with his better thought.
And lifted her work with a low sweet
song,
A song that's followed me many a year
"Somehow or other we get along!"

THE HIDDEN' TRAIL.
We were deer-huntiwr on the
headwaters of the Santa Ana Creek,
a rapid little etream taking ita riae
in the Coast range, in Ventura coun
ty, California, aud were camped at
a point where the stream, breaking
through a ppur of the main ridge,
hurls itself in eddying rapids be
tween towering walls and naked
sandstone. Below us the foothills
dropped away in the fertile mesas of
the Santa Ana llancho, while aboye
the eoree, hemmed in by towering
mountains lay a beautitul valley,
oval in shape and studded with
clumps of live oak and bunches of
manzanita. Uo?e down lo the
mouth of the pass, around whose
eastern side there ran a narrow trail,
crew a solitary, towering sugar pine.
beneath the whispering branches of
which we had built our camp-nre,
while oer horse cropped at will the
juicy Duncn grass upon toe uai
above.
An old mountaineer who was one
of the party, a man who had spent
the better part of a lileume in bunt
ing and prospecting through the
mountains of California, and was
now as care free and as far from
6trikine it rich" as in good old
days of '49, broke the deep silence
which bad fallen upon our little
party in nature's majestic presence.
"Did you know," he said, "that
this flat was the last stronghold of
the Santa Ynez Indians that held
out against the Spaniards ? "
Of course 1 looked at toe speaker,
whose deep voice bad broken while
it had not marred my dreams.
Years of life in tbe sun and wind
had bronzed his face to a hue as
tawnv as ever was that of any Mex
ican, while bis unkempt, grizzled
beard and silver white hair bore un
mistakable evidence, not only of his
great age, but lack the comforts and
conveniences of more modern civili
zation. But age had not dimmed
the brightness of an eye trained to
watch from some high ridge for the
bound of a deer acrosa a distant
clearing, nor had the weight of years
brokep the iron nerve of an arm
which Mill unerringly dealt out
death at SUO yards range.
"0' I rephed at last "Tell us
About it"
'I will give yvu the tlory," he re
plied, "as an old Irtizu squaw tojd
it to me."
"A great many years ago, before

seat of their authority and the site
of their largest village and the most
impregnable stronghold. Here was

families and their retainers resided
in this stronghold, the tribe being
scattered over its broad domain in
divers villages advantageously locat
ed, and only assembling at the cen
tral point in times of danger or to
participate in great tribal religious
observances.
THB SECRET TRAIL.
"But there was another trail lead

the gorge, it leads down into the fiat

but a few hundred of them remained.
and these under the leadership of
ineir tasi greai cniei jua-iu-i-ja, nad
taken refuge in this glen at the head
of the Santa Ana creek. Prepara
tions were begun to dislodge the re
bellious (?) savages. All of the
young vaqueros in the country, all
the veteran gpvernment soldiers at
the mL&iou and all the ranch eros
were enlisted in the extermination
ot a band whose existence was a
constant peril to them.' The troops
approached ine mourn 01 tbe rocky
pass and naitea to reconnoitre. I he
Indian scouts had signalled the ap
proace of the soldiers, and Ma-til-i-ja
was prepared. Within the gorge all
was silent save the rippling of the
water in the shadows oi' the rock , A
priest, bare headed and gowu-c.ad,
advanced along the trail into the
darkness,hoIding aloft a crucifix and
calling upon the Indians for submis
sion. High up upon the cliff a tuft
ed head and bare brown shoulders
caught for an instant the rays of
the sun. There was a twang of a
bow spring and an obsidian-puinted
arrow, whizziug down into the shad
ows, buried itself to the feathers in
the breast of the priest For an in
stunt he stood still holding aloft the
crucifix, and then with a death
moan his body fell forward into tiie
water, and the trout below him
sported in a crimson stream. Quick
ly difimountiog,the Spaniards charg
ed again and again into the narrow
pass, and were as often repulsed
THE CHIEF'S DAUGHTER.
"At last they drew off. seeing the
hopelessness of their attack, and
camped down upon the mesa below,
determined to try the policy of star
vation. Meanwhile the Indians
strengthened their defenses and sent
out hunters upon the hills, that they
might be prepared to endure the
siege. Ma-til-i-ja, the last of a long
line of chieftains, had no Eon to
whom to transmit bis honors, and
contrary to the usual custom of his
people, had taken to himself but one
wife. A daughter, Winona, was the
fruit of their union, and Ma-tii-i-ja
had confided to har the secret of
the trail leading from the glen. Like
all the women of her tribe Winona
had sojourned for a time at the mis
sion, and while there, unknown to
her father, the ceremonies and relig
ion of the padres had taken deep
hold upon her savage imagination.
U bile there, also she had conceived
a passion, deep and wild as her own
untrained nature, tor one of ine
young soldiers of the garrison, Jose
Hernas, and he had been not at all
derelict in pressing his .' suit upon
the savage beauty.
for weeks the seige continued,
interspersed with brave charges,
winch were always repulsed,untu at
last the Spaniard iregan to chafe nt
fighting with an unseen enemy
whose missiles dealt death at every
blow. At last the disaffection grew
open, aud there began to be grave
talk ot abandoning the apparently
fruitless seige.
"Meanwhile inona 6toie awav
from her father's lodge each day at
nightfall, and, passing over the se
cret trail, went down into the Span
ish camp and passed hours . with
her lover beneath the shadow of
some great oak. Amid so many re
tainers, her presence passed unnotic
ed, and when the day grew gray in
the east, she would glide like a shad
ow a short distance into the rocky
gorge, and then divergingseek again
the secret path, to return to her
dwelling. Watching her departure
one morning, Jose saw her leave the
gorge, and, obeying a sudden and
unaccountable impulse, started to
follow her. Like a shadow he fol
lowed her swiil Bteps from rock to
rock, from crag to crag until she
disappeared into a narrew rocky
canyon. 1 lunging into this, Jose
followed down it for a short distance
and emerging, wa3 startled to find
himself within the Indian village.
He had the socret trail. Realising
at occe the importance of his discov
ery, he retraced his steps at once to
the Spanish camp and sought the
commander of the expedition.
THE MASSACRE.
That nieht 200 picked men, un
der Jose's guidance, stole like shad
ows under the mountain path, and
ranged themselyea in a silent line
above the doomed village. At the
mouth of the gorge a guard of Span
iards shut off the escape of the In
dians. From the deep defile below
the village a musket report broke
the clear gray stillness of the morn
ine. It was the signal of attack.
w- fa H ,, be bands
loftro
troops within the glen broke rank
and charged down upon the Bleepy
villagers just emerging from their
huts. The Indians were stupefied
with surprise, uncertain as to wheth
er their gods had deserted them or
their sentries had slept upon their
posts, and were cut down, men,
women and children, without re
sistance. Winona starting in terror
from her father's hut, eaw Jose
heading the besiegers, and realized
what had happened. Bounding to
the side of her lover, she clasped
her arms about him and staved his
, vj
followed his
UCl. 4Allllli
daughter from the lodge, and with
kind cries was rallying hia warriors
in defense of their women and chil
dren. 8eeing bis devoted daughter
clasped to the breast of a Spanish
soldiei, he thought he saw in her the
betrayer of hia people. With a sav
age howl of mingled rage, pain and
defiance, Matilija sprang forward
and buried his stone hatchet deep
into the brain of bia offspring. With
a piteous upward look tbe girl sunk
at her father's feet, and, before Jose
could recover from his stupeficaticn,
another blow of that strong arm had
spread the Spaniard's form lifeless
and bleeding beside that of the girl.
Then Matilija darted swiftly away,
ascended with sure steps the dizzy
cliff above us, and uttering a defiant
death cry, sprang far out into th
air and was dashed to fragments up
on the jagged rocks at our feet

Where tbe Cold Waves Come rrom.
Henry Vernon, a correspondent
of the Baltimore Smi, is satisfied
that the cold wave of air comes from
or is caused by the action' of inter
stellar space, which is cold beyond
human conception. . He adopts the
long accepted theory that the tun
and moon must :miuence the air
envelope of the earth more sensibly
than they influence the seas, and
accounts for the entry of the cold
to the earth's surface by the weaken
ing of the earth envelope at the
earth's poles, in order to get air to
pile up in the air tides at the equa
tor. The cold of space, pressing
equally against the whole envelope,
would find two very weak places,
one at each pole, and would greatly
reduce the normal temperature of
the polar air. The eastward rotary
force of the earth would aiso aid in
this weakening by swelling the bulk
of the earth and air at the equator.
lut the centrifugal force to sustain
the extra equatorial bulk must come
from the direct North. Interstellar
cold let into the envelope at the

Newtonian hypothesis wa3 that the
moon, in drawing the earth out of
shape, not only made a lobe on the
moon's side, but also made one on
the far side, and that these two lobes
moved round the earth in equilibri
um, with other waves or tides super
imposed by the attractive force of
the sun, which force is over half as
great as that of the moon. The con
stant variations oi distance of moon

and the constantly varying united
action or opposed action of sun and
moon, have made the study of the
tides a never ending task, and their

earth would tip, just as in another
way it tips when put in the zodiac,

of refinement, was a prisoner in the
York ville Police Court to-day, char

She was Miss Mary Hoyt, daughter
or the late Jessie Hoyt. the million

court as a contestant of her fathers
will. Yesterday afternoon she en
tered the New Haver. Railroad waiting-room
at the Grand central depot
with a parasol in one hand and a
satchel in the other. Officer Hagan
was on du'y there, and immediately
she began to berate him for not hav

hers when she asked him. He tried
to put her off, and she replied. Then
after some forcible language, she
struck him over the head with her
parasol. The assault was witnessed
by policeman Reynold, but Miss
Hoyt was allowed to leave the room
although she bad assured Hagen
that she would have him "broke-"
Then she Trent to the Nineteenth

She was fined 210, and then taken

A Carious Mountain.
Fifteen miles north of Atlanta,
Ga rises Stone Mountain. Though
frequently visited by picnic parties
from that section, it is not as gener
ally known as its grandeur uieriU
America boasts many higher mount
ains, this measuring but eleven bun
dred feet, but has few showing such
remarkable beauties. Ihe circum
ference of this mountain at its base
is five miles. For more than one
mile it rises abruptly eight hundred
feet it is nearly four times as high
as Bunker Hill Monument, and
nearly as straight, then slopes grad
ually to the summit
Of course an ascent from this side
is impossible and on every side ex
cept one is accomplished with diffi
culty. From the summit in addi
tion to the usual southern landscape,
one can readily distinguish Lookout
and Kenewaw Mountains, so inter
esting from their historical associa
tion. Stono Mountain is comprised of
a light colored granite. In some
places where exposed to the action
of the sun and water it has become
striped, haviug the appearance ofj
bright pieces ot carpeting hanging
over the precipice.
No grasses grow on this moun
tain, but its absence in supplied by
a reddish moss found only in high
altitudes. At the foot of the moun
tain azalias afford a wealth of bloom
in their season. At least seven
shades appear, varying from white
to deep red. A yellow variety also
abounds. These with a belt of wood
laub furnish a setting worthy the
beauty of this jewel.
Stone Mountain lias given its
name to a village about a mile away,
where dwellers in the heated cities
may breathe pure air. In look
ing upon so much beauty and gran
deur they may find rest for mind
and soul, that rest which an inti
mate acquaintance with aature al
ways bring.
Involuntary 3Iemcrism.
Recently a remarkable case came

and will give the students of his
doctrine food for reflection. August
Bruder, a railroad laborer, met an
old mend whom he had not seen
for a long time, named A. Whitfield.
They had been comrades and were
much attached to one another.
Scarcely had they exchanged greet
ings when Bruder began to act in a
strange manner, lie would mimic
Whitfield's every motion, gesture.
and all the while staring at bis friend
with his face distorted like that- of
a madman.
The two sat down to dinner at
the National Hotel, and Bruder or
dered the same food taut Whitfield
did, and kept perfect time to the
motion of his arms and mouth
This action was so curious that
Whitfield walked down to the police
station and gave his friend over to
the police authorities. It was
thought he was stricken with ner
vousness or mesmerism, aud Dr.
Wheeler was called in to decide the
case. 1 he mesmerized man changed
from Whitfield to the doctor, and
upon his commands would do any
thing. When told to stretch out
his arms it was impossible to force
them down. While undergoing the
examination he made a rush at Cap
tain Hair with the roar of a bull.
Had he succeeded in grasping
him there is no telling what he
would have done, but upon com
mand of the doctor would again
subside into a quiet mood. It is a
most singular case. Portland Or

Following the lead of Mr. C. Hills

would answer well, as they are not
very large, and they approach too
near the merino in densentss and
fineness of fleece I have used the
Downs on Leicester and their grades
with advantage in producing finer
wool for family useand also superior
mutton ; but the sheep that pleased
roe most of all for general use was
obtained by nsing a pure Cotswold
rain on pure Southdown ewes. The
result was a finelv-formed fheep of
excellent quality of mutton, with
dense, moderately Ions, crinkled
ool. of grt lustre and fineness.
The fleece of a lamb (accidentally
killed by dogs in the fall) weighed,
when well washed in warm water,
Hi pounds. Now I feel confident
that tbe Cot would cross equally
well on tbe merino, giving the pro
duce the size and aptitude to fatten
desired for a mutten sheep, and pro
ducing a fleece of good, serviceable
and lustrous wool, which, if pro
duced in sufficient quantities find a
market for the manufacture of cer
tain classes of goods. The whole re
gion interested should adopt one
standard of crossing, so as to make
the produce of wool uniform. It
won't do for one county to use Down
rams, another Cots wolds, and still
another Lincolns or Leicesters, as a
nondescript clip will result that
buyers will not care to handle. Mr.
J. Harris, of Rochester, used Cots
wold on merinos with the very satis
factory results mentioned by Mr.
Hills. If in a few generations the
sheep get too coarse to suit the mar
ket a cross back on a merino or a
Southdown cross would do the work
and add to the quality of mutton.
I write from personal experience,
having handled cross-bred sheep
for twenty-five years, bred simply
for good mutton and wool for family
use. But mind one rule, never use

The Little Savage.
About the time when baby begins
to put away monkey manners and
to stand on two feet like a man, ho
begins to show, in a very marked
degree, the characteristics of savage
tribes. For two or three years of
this part of his life the best baby is
a little savage. He may be said to
be more or less on thegrib.'' (j
object to slang as much as any man.
but really there is no other way of
describing the tendencies exhibited
at this stage oi" baby's career.) If
he has small brothers or sisters, or
both, he is always more or less at
war with these neighboring savages.
If he is deprived ot' anything he has
come to regard as his property, quite
mistakenly it may well be, or if he
sees in the hands oi his small kins
folk any goods or chattels which
seem pleasing in his eyes, he has but
one way of expressing hiswishe3 :
he goes for the possession of the de
sired object, using hia h inds as weap
ons if he has no others hr-.ndy, but
bringing down a stick, or brush, or
book, as the case may be, on th
bead of his enemy with all the z?al
of a Figian or an Ojihbtway n the
war-path. Girl babies are pretty
nearly as bud a boy babies in thrse
matter?, only the girl savagu differs
from the boy savage a much as
savage woman differs from savage
man. Of course there are many
baby boys and baby girls who show
little tendency to savagr ry, ju-tt as
there have been many unculturpd
races of man who hav been gentle
and innocent. But the quiet babies
are always weak and unhealthy. In
the struggle for existence thfy guc
cumb before their more ferocious
brothers, just as the quiet ard gen
tle savage tribes perish before their
tomahawk-flourishing, spear-throwing,
club-wielding neighbors.
A Journey to the Son.
As to the distance of ninety-three
million miles, a cannon ball would
travel it in about fifteen yar?. It
may help us to remember that at
the speed attained by the limited
express oa our railroads, a train
which had left the sun fur the earth
when the May8uw-r sailed from
Dellhaven with the Pilgrim Fathers,
and which ran at that rate day and
night, would in 1SS1 stii! be a jour
ney of 6ome years away from its
terrestrial station. The fare, at tne
customary rate, it may be remarked,
would be rather over S2,.jOO,0XJO, ho
that it is clear that we would reed
both money and leisure for the
journey.
Perhaps the most striking illus

found that sensation is not absolute

pies a very minute time to travel
along the nerves ; so that if n fhiid
puts its finger into the candle, there
is a certain almost inconceivably
small space of time, say the one
hundredth f a ecorid, before he
feels the heat In case, then, a
child's arm were long enough to
touch the sun, it can be calculated
from this known rate of transmis

live to be a man of over a hundred
years before it knew that its fingers
were burned. Prof. S. P. Langeg,

Tbe Conscience Fund.
The contributions to the con
science fund of the treasury in the
last fiscal year amounted to over
83,000. This fund hae, since its
establishment twenty years ago,
amounted to ahsjut $250,000. For
some vear3 past it has averaged from
455,000 to $7,000 a year. The term
" conscience fund " was originated
by Treasurer Spinner. One day dur
ing the war he received a letter at
tbe treasury department from a man
who enclosed a check for $1,500.
saying it represented a misappropri
ation of government funds of which
he had been guilty while a quarter
master in the army. "Suppose we
call this a contribution to the con
science fund and get it announced
in the newspapers, and perhaps we
will get some more," he suggested.
The announcement was made, and
the treasury became the recipient of
such funds. The largest contribu
tion ever made was S 1,000, forward
ed by an ex-revenue gauger from
Chicago, ts the amount of a bribe re
ceived by him from distiller who
desired to defraud the government
The smallest was nine cent3, for
warded by a Massachusetts man,
who remembered that he had at one
time, year3 efore, used a marked
3-cent stamp on a Utter. In order to
relieve his conscience, he nent three
times the original steal, which he
thought was a fair compensation.
Many of these contributions come
from persons who have smuggled
goods. The majority of these are
from women.

A Iutcltelor's Joke.
A young nobleman, of marriageable
age, not long ago came to the conclu
sion that it was time for him to lu"k
out for a wife. His pur-suit in life
not being of the most strenuous char
acter, he had leisure to combine
amusement with research. Accor
dingly he advertisetl hia wants in a
Milanese paper,requesting that every
answer to the advertisement be ac
companied by the portrait of the
lady who replied.
The result was sixty-five letters
with as many maidenly countenan
ces as would furnish a good-sized
album. Embarrased by a choice of
such unexpected variety, and dtsir
uus to t ratify that sense of humor
wiiicti evt-i lie serious nature of his
quest could not repress, the young
man replied to each of his corre
spondents. Without the knowledge of the
ollitrs lie sent a ticket fr an orches
tra stall in the Scab thfatre, an
nouncing that he himself w uld be
in a particular box, the number and
situation of which he stated. A few
evening? later the theatre-going pub
lic of Milan were perplexed toexphiin
the apptrance of no of th rows of
the orchestra stalls in that immense
buildir.g.
A long line of beauties in extreme
elegance, unbroken by a singlo black
coit, was observed. Furtively, and
with trepidation, did each damsel
from time to time raise her opera
gi'iss to that box the cynosure oi"
many bright eyes in which th
grateful ) oath reposed. Suspicious
ly, and with darkened brow did each
damsel turn to the long file tf her
neighbors, and wondered at the
magnetism which drew each glass to
the central post.
By-and-by the audience, to whom
f-ome hint or the secret had leaked
out, began to give audibly signs that
they enjoyed the joke. The spora-
lic laughter ot the theatre increased
the confusion of the young ladies
and the contagion of the fun turned
the sporadic mirth into a gf-neral
roar.
Varion Kind of Time.

"Yes, I kin; I wuz in the house

"What kind of time do

"Oh, ns have all kind3."

"That's what I said. We have all

"I don't understand you."
