Everybody knows tho poom, "The Old Oaken Bucket," but who knows tho grave of the author? It will bo news to most that Samuel Woodworth, tho writer of that piece of immortal verso, it buried in San Francisco, Cal., but such is the case. The Puke of Leins tor's country house is said to have passed into tho ownership ot an Irish fanner who was formorly its tenant, under tho operation of tho new Irish land laws. This, recalls the Brook lyn Cttiten, is the building after which the White Houso at Washington was mode'ed. - i A very interesting fact has recently boon instanced in that the education of the blind in Franco was introduced from America, and fiom tho methods origi nated and taught by that great philan thropist, Dr. Samuuel O. Howe, to his corps of teachers in Perkins Institute, trom which, for a long time, the teach ers of the blind in France were recruited. Here aro somo fresh English statistics compiled by tho New York IH-est: In Groat Britain there are 700,003 criminals, 22,000 juvenilo thieves. There are 500,000 drunkards. Tho annual cost of liquors is 1750,000,000. Suicide last year num bered 2297, and 2157 were found dead. Ten thousand children died from violence or neglect. Over 100,000 people are absolutely homeless, and 100,000 arc out of work, Tho work-houses shelter 190, 000, and 3,000,000 people outsido are so wretchedly poor that they aro hardly civilized. A French journalist has receutly given tome curious information! about tho women who are tempted tj steal and who fall during their shopping expedf tioni. He says thut in Paris no fewer than four thousand women are caught every year stealing before the counter. The number of titled ladies seize! with kleptomania while examining the fa hions is almost incredible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian princess, a French countoss, an English duchess, and the daughter of a reign ing sovereign. As a rule, these more distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor, and when the sbop-liftcr is kuown to bo rich, the sum exacted rises to as much as ten thousand fraucs. The police au thorities consent to this sort of condona tion. The Japanese Bureau of Agriculture is to be represented at the World's Fair by the horses of Koyoshiamu, tho pigs of Rinkin, the Oshiki foivls, and many other odd creatures thatwill add interest to the exhibit. A firm of Tokio florists will send the flowers aud dwarf trees of the country in pots. Tho Yokohama florists at a recent meeting voted to ex pend the sum of, y,000 on their dis play. The tobacconists of Southern Ja pan will ahow samples of rut tobacco in grotosque designs.

I - i Massachusetts, but even in M.iiue, the suljutitution of coal for wood as fuel has goi ie so far as to make a perceptible dif fer .'lice in the quantity of trees thut net id to be cut every year. The sume t&ry comes from other parts of New Eujglaud. Iu New Hampshire an au thority upon the subject says that coal is fast -taking tho placo of wood, even in ( the kitchen of the farmhouse, and that as a consequence cor J wood is losing its I value. What is still more important, it is claime t that the lumbermen are exercising moro judgment iu their melthoda of work. A partner in a New Hampshire company is quoted by the Boston Herald as saying that by the in thods now used the timber will repro duce itself faster than it is cut off. Many of the larger compauies have adopted a plan of operation that forbids tho cutting of trees git thing less than a specified number of inches, and so the "timber tract" is kept good. One ele ment in the change of system is the fact that the demaud for cord-wood is dimin ishing, so that the railroad companies IK longer put a premium on the destruc f forests by buyiug all tho wood A WOMAN'S ADIEU, i 1 Our love la done I I would not have it back, I say, I would not have my whole yoar May ' But yet for our ind passion's sake, Kim me once more and strive to make Our last kiss the supremest one; For love is done.

BT ANNA. 8UKII.D8. People in Maysvillo always shrugged their shoulders when Mar' -ou mentioned, aud usually the expressive gesture was followed by some depreca ting remark. "Comes of bad stock," old Judge Len nox would say, in his pompous dictator ial manner. "All the Lamsons were worthless, and Mrs. Lamson - was Hodgo, and everybody knows what they are." Tho house in which Murk was born, and where he scrambled up to manhood, was a largo furm house, tumbling to pieces Inside, with a roof always being f mtched against leaking, doors without ocks nnd with shaking hinges, windows that rattled in every wind, ceilings that dropped planter whenever a heavy foot shook tho upper rooms and furniture in the last stago of shabbiness. His father and mother wore slatternly in dress, shiftless in household management, and tho handsome, bright boy was over-indulged nnd neglected as thoir own indo lence suggested. But Mark Lamson inherited none of the leading traits of his parents. Prob ably in souie remote ancestor there was a mixture of energy, resolution nnd ability of which the Maysvillo gossips had never heard, and for which they certainly gave Mark no credit. It was in vain that the Principal of tho Maysvillo High School declared that Mark had graduated with the best rocord he had ever given in tho school. It was useless for the lad him self to keep his life froe from blame, and earnestly endeavor to do his duty. Maysville could not forget that ho was a Lamson, and his mother was a Hod"e bad stock!" As ho passed from boyhood to man hood, Mark began tho unequal struggle against fate and circumstances, that was dictated ouly by his own energy. His father had been able to get bread from the farm by a luzy tillage thut gave tho bare necessities for tho table; his mother had a very small income that gavo tho three clothing of the poorest description, and both were in open-mouthed wonder that Mark was not content, as they had been, to dawdle through life aud "make out" with what they hud. And Mark, struggling to attain better things, with only a vague, undisciplined longing for improvement, met no en couragement at homo or abroad. He tried to obtain a situation, but employers were shy about giving work to a Lamson ; he met but a cool reception at the Mays ville social gatherings, having no knowl edge of how to repair his own Uneu or keep his poor clothing even tidy. - Boy. like, ho imagined a new suit aud gay nccktio were all-sufficient for a party, and did not heed tho frayed cutis and broken collars ut which the Maysville belles turned up their noses. But, in spite of his father's lazy com meuts.his mother's fretful remoustrauces, Mark Lamson, finding no employment outside, determined to see if tho farm would not find him in work. "Oh, yes; do as you please," his futher said. "But there is no money for new-fangled fixings, and the laud is about worn out. Plenty of ic, to be sure, but 'tuin't worth shucks." 1 1 So, single-handed, Murk undertook tho work of brlugiug up the old farm. Early and late be toiled, repairing fences, weed ing, picking stones, rooting out dead tumps, preparing his land, without one band stretched out to help him,one voice to wish him success. Thomas, the only man his futher employed, gave a surly re fusal to aid, upon the ground that his regular routine of shiftless farming took all his time, aud Murk patiently sub mitted. Ho was twenty-one years old, when into his dull, monotonous life came a new stimulus a hope, bright ns a vision and almost as baseless. Ho fell in lovel He did not walk in cautiously, couuting his steps and weighing his chuacos, but he fell in plump, suddenly, hopelessly. Tbcro had been a warm discussion at the Judge's about inviting M irk to the party that was to celebrate Essie's eighteenth birthday and her tiual return from boarding-school. But tho pot of the house had a will of her own and a lively rccnllectiou of Mark's handsome face aud boyish gallantries, and insisted upon his being invited. Mark, carrying in his memory only a pretty littlo girl, found himself coufroutud by an undeni able beauty ; a face to win horuago iu fur. more pretentious circles thuu Maysvillo boasted, and a gentle grace of manner nono of tho girls of his acquaintance had ever extended to him. The touch of the soft littlo hah. offered to greet him riveted ths chain Essie's fuce had c ist about Mark's heart, ana made mm her slave theu and there. He ho- starved atj his li -"putliy, f. MUI his longing hoart with content. Sho re membered all his boyish aspirations; sho entered into all his hopes and ambitious. The party was tho beginning of an Inter course that stimulated anew every good resolution, gave a new vigor to every hope of Mark's life. The village was essentially domocratic, and the fact that Essio was tho only child and hciross of tho richest, most in fluential man in the place did not prevent her from visiting Mrs. Lamson upon terms of perfect equality. She was fond of tho weak, amiable woman, strongly as sho censured, in her youthful strength, the easy-going indolence that made her home such a scene of confusion and dis comfort; and, in her gentle, pleasant way, she endeavoured to brighten that home for Mark by suggestions and offers of help that fell to the ground. It was like fighting a feather bed to try to rouse Mrs. Lamson to an active improvement, and rebuffed there, Essie could only help Mark by words of sympathy thut were like wine of life to his love. An hour with Essie sent him back to hia uphill work full of new hopo, ovorj energy stimulated, every hopa bright ened. Ho had not dared to set boforo him in plain words the hope of ono day winning her heart to his own, for there was all the humility of true passion in that young, ardent heart, but he real ized a now force, a now spur to am bition. Essie never sneered at him as the neighbors had become accustomed to doing; Essie never threw cold water over his plans for improving the land; Essie was never sarcastic over the clash ing of his povery and his ambitions. As he saw her more frequently, he ventured to tell her of wider, wilder hopes, of somo day escaping from the drudgery before him, and making his way to a city, where his education might give him a start in more congenial occupation. "Father and mother seem to need me, now," he told Essie, one day; "they are old, and they have no other child. I think it is my plain duty to stay." "I think it is," was the quick reply; "your mother could scarcely bear a sepa ration." "And while I am horo, I must do the work that lies under my hand," he said, "hard as it isl But Euio," and hia face brightened, "do you know that already I have made the farm pay double what it has ever done. Next spriug I can hire help out of money I savei from the sale of last year's crops!" Essie, all eager interest, entered into discussion of the capabilities of such a lot for turnips, such a patch for wheat, tho possibilities of a dairy, tho best cul ture for fowls, as if she had never studied music or filled her head with Freuch and German verbs. But the horror and wrath ot Judge Len nox, when, after two years of mild court ship, Mark took his fate in his hands and asked permission to marry Essie, cannot be described. "A Lamson!" ho cried, when hav ing dismissed Mark he returned to the bosom of his family. "A Lamson for Essie's husband! The fellow wants my money to spend after all his father and his grandfather have squandered." "Do you really and truly think Mark is a spendthrift, papa?" Essie asked quietly. "Does he ever ' lounge about the stores or taverns, as Hurry Carter and James Kay burn doj "I Well, no, I never saw him," was the reiuctaut admission. "Did you ever hear that ho drank or gambled, or even smoked?" "N-o I never did." ' "Is he not regular at church!" "Ye es." "But, oh, Essie!" struck in Mrs, Len nox. "What shabby, half-washed shirts he wears, nnd his fingers all out of his gloves, and half tut buttons of his coat gone!" "Poor Mark!" said Essie, gently. "Ho needs a wife." "Well, he need not look hero for one," growled the Judge. "I heard Mr. Thompson say, last week," said Essie, quietly, "that there is not a better farm in Greene County than Lauison's." "Such a palace of a house I" tho Judge sneered. "Murk is hoping to put a new house on tho place, next year. He has had builders over from B but they say the old house is beyond repair, aud it would cost less to have a new one." "And where is tho. money to come from?" "Whcro tho improved farm came from," said Essie; "from Murk's indus try, persevoran.ee aud energy, in tho fuce of the hardest discouragements ever a young man had to fight." "Eh!" said tho Judge. "What? What?" "See what he has done," said Essie, still in an even, quiet tone that carried conviction far more than au excited one. "Eight years ugo, when ho was but a boy, he put his shoulder to tho wheel aud took his playtime between school hours to weed and clear away stones. N jbody helped him. He was ridiculed, sneered at, discouraged on all sides. He hud the poorest farm iu the place, aud ho hus made it one of tho best. He has put every spare dollar into books on ugrioulture, improved ma chines, good stock. Ho hus now four men ut work for him, good horses, good cattle, good poultry, aul he will have a good house. Papa, do you not think it will be a pity to have the new house iu tho cure of Mrs. Lamson, to ruiu as she hus the old one? Out-doors the manage ment is all left to Mark, aud see what he has done. But a man cannot make a home comfortable alone; hu needs a wife." "Well," said the Judge, "let him have one, but not my child." "Still he loves me," said Essie, "and I lovo him!" "Pshaw I" sid the Judge, and inarched out of the house. But prompt as he was, he was just, and he loved Essie. He hu 1 let preju dice influence him against Murk ail his now ho took paius to find out how mu -h of his dislike was well rounded. Gt'gingly cuough was the verdict given. Ingly acknowlcdgo It had boon wrong In its estimate, and shouldered upon Murk all the faults of his ancestors. But tho facts were strong, and Judgo Lennox found himso'f confronted by them. Slowly, for he was not easily convinced, ho took respect into the placo of con tempt, and, after a month of patient in. vestigation, sent for Mark. The interview was a frank, manly one, tho old gentleman not being given to half hearted measures of any kind. Ho admitted his former prejudices, and heartily commended the young man who had struggled so nobly. "When your new houso is finished," he said, "I will let my Essie be your wito. A man who can mako his way against wind and tide as you have done, deserves a happy homo." The Judge being a power in Maysville public opinion veered round, as soon as the engagement was announced. The new house being completed, Essie becHino housekeeper, Mrs. Lamson gladly resigning her feeble reign. And under the new regime it was wonderful to see how even the old people smartened up. They had no chronio objection to cleanliness, if someone else did the necessary work; and with Mark and Essio to govern and direct, the Limson house hold so lost its old nnme, that you could scarcely find to-day in Maysvillo ono voice to repeat tho old saying that "Mark Lamson came of bad stock." The Ledger. A Very Queer Satellite. Tho satellite nearest to the planet Jupiter must be a singular place of resi dence, if there be any possibility of resi dents at all resembling human beings. In the first place, though it is bigger than our moon, the substance of which it is composed is Ices than half as light as cork, so that it is not a very solid place1 of residence. Iu the next place, though the sun ap pears very dim from it as compared with what it appears from tho earth, it has a moon namely, Jupiter itself whose surface appears many hundreds of times larger than our moon. In the third place, the recent observa tions made of this satellite by Mr. Bar nard, in the great Lick Observatory, make it not improbable that this satel lite is really cut in two, and that there fore there may be two separate littlo worlds, probably not separated by any very great distance (for tho total diame ter of the two together, if there bo two divisions of the sntellito which was al ways supposed till quito recently to be single, is not above 2300 miles across), revolving together through space, some even of the details of one of which worlds must be visible from the other, if there be anything like telescopes on either half. If the satellite is not cut in two Mr. Barnard holds that there must be a light belt round it, very like tho light belt on Jupiter itself, and that thif light belt produces tho impression of division un der certain circumstances of the orbit. We may hope that tho Lick Observatory will at length solve the problem. Per haps the residents of tho two halves of the planet, if it be in halves, can really tolegraph to each other.

The cutting of paper is very trying to sharpened steel, and a pair might bo kept for that pur pose. Long slender shears are hundy for general use: buttonhole scissors could find a place iu every work basket; a pair of scissors for triinmiu,' lumps iu the kitchen is necessary where there is no gas; gr.ipe scissors for the tublo are not altogether new; scissors to cut flowers in the country are a convenience. Few people carry pocket scissors of the folding sort. Those that do nevor part with them.

Highest Hallway in the Alps. The new Alpiue railway, tho Bi ienzcr Rotbhornbnhu, is the highest railway in the Alps aud commands magnificent views. It is 2351 metres (7830 feet) high at the summit level, aud ascends 1082 metres (500(3 feet) or sixty-seven metres (223 leet) higher than the Pilutus Ituilwuy. The journey occupies one hour and a hulf. The guugo is 0.8 metre. The hue is a pure rack-uud-piuiou rail way on the AUt system, and is similar in construction to the Monte Geueroso Hall way. The steepest gradient is one in four that is, less than the maximum Pilatus ascent. Tho railway has been built in a remarkably short space of time. It was begun so receutly us the 1st of October, 1890. No-fewer thuu teu tun nels were bcred; numerous stieamlets were bridged aud heavy stono dmus had to be erected. liotton J'ranterijit.

When flowering plants usually make seed, that is generally tho last effort of plant life the seed is the beginning of the life of the new plant. Ferns, how ever, only produce spores for reproduc tive purposes. Theso spores germioato and go through the same process subse quently that flowers go through in tho production of seeds. The spores expuud when the germinating time comes, and form a flat, green membrane; what are then really tho flowers appear on this membrane. As a general rule, after these fern flowers have matured, tho membrane dries up and disappears. In ono family of ferns, however, natives of New Holland, this green blado is per manent and continues to enlarge, be coming really a portion of the plant. Every year a uew blade is formed, which spreads over tho old ones. Tho largo plant is of a totally different character, having tho fronds of ordinary ferns. Muhan't Monthly. Aucieut Butterflies.

They Kill His Wife and Child In Tarn Ho Slays at Ijpaat 140 Coiu anches A Merciless War. There has just died in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, a man who for ten yenrs wagod a most merciless war on tho Comancho Indians of this region. His career is over, but it was one of tho most remarkable ever known outside of a dime novel. In 1802 James Sanderson aud his wife and one child wero crossing tho country near the Arizona lino with a wagon and outfit. A band of Comanches came down upon them and killed the child and also the woman. Sanderson was tied to a post and compelled to witness the fear ful scenes. After this tho Indians be gan a scries of tortures, and his life was only saved by tho timely arrival of a detachment of soldiers, who drove off the savages, but not until they had used fire too such an extent that the man's face was seamed and scarred in a horriblo manner. Sanderson said little about his terrible affliction, but returned to tho Ifort with tho soldiers, and remained there until ho recovered his health. Then he took a Bolcmn oath to bo re venged in a manner that would mako his name a terror to the Iudians. He supplied himself with a rifle, re volver and ammunition nnd left the fort. It was a month before he was heard of and the affuir had almost passed from the minds of the officers and men, when ono day Sundorson walked in and threw down a bundlo containing twenty-nine scalps. Ho hail followed tho Indians and hung on their trail, killing every one that left tho camp, until his presence becamo a veritable terror to the bnnd. lie made no distinction between men, women and children, but killed any that he could get near to. Ho seemed en dowed with a charmed life, for the Indi sns could not get near enough to him to do him harm, and ho became known as tho "White Spirit." Tho Indians wero frightened, and those who were left mado hasto back to tho home of the tribe, carrying with them the terrible tale of the Nemesis ou their truck. Sanderson followed them to the mount ains, and went where whito men had never been before. Before his prcsenco becamo known in tho neighborhood he hud killed a boy, a squaw and two warriors. Every time a bund was sent out after him they would be sure to return after losing several members, and the Indians became afraid to go about the country alone. Within a year be had thirty-nine scalps, uud said ho had killed twelve others whose scalp be was unable to get. At the end of that year ho raise! the number to seventy-nino scalps, and said ho would not return to tho fort until ho had 100. In July, 1801, a cloudburst occurred above the village of a bad baud of Comanches and the people fled into a narrow gorge for safety. Tha water cumo so suddenly that they wero compelled to fly with what they could gather and ruu for their lives. Sanderson came upon them as they were huddlod iu the gorge nnd be gan firing at them from above and roll iug stones down upon them. Ho killed twelve and wouudoda great number be foro they could get away. By July, 1805, he had over 100 scalps and hud killed at least 140 Iudians and seveuty ponies. Ho had no idea of abandoning bis quest for revenge, but was moro determined than ever to wipe out the wholo tribe. After the close of the Civil War, when tho Government turned its attention to the Indians, a treaty was mado with tho Comanches, audit was stipulated by the Iudians that Sanderson be called away from the country. Ho heurd of it, and for many months he kept out of tho wuy of the soldiers aud coutiuued his work of de struction, but at lust was found and told that he must give up the work. Ho complied, but with great reluctance, aud has taken advantage of every Iudiun out break siuce then to go out to kill the guvages. The Chileans are Poor Gunners. There has been so much tulk about Chile's ability to strike heavy blows iu case of war with the United .Slates that the results of observations of their work during the recent trouble will be inter esting at this time. In the capture of Yalpuruiso the Congressional ist squadron played no part worthy of meutiou. The Esmeralda, Cochraue, Aconcagua uud O'Higgins, all armed with heavy Arm strong rifled guns, did not attempt to enguge Forts Pratt aud Culluo at the en trance of tho hurbor, but managed to keep well out of runge..

LEFT UNDONE. It isn't the thing you do, dear. It's the thing you've left undone, Which gives you a bit of headache At the setting of the sun; The tender word forgotten, The letter you did not write. The flower you might have sent, dear, Are your haunting ghosts to-night. The stone you might have lifted i Out of a brother's way. The bit of beartsome counsel You were hurried too much to say. The loving touch of the hand, dear, The gentle and winsome tone. That you had no time or thought for. With troubles enough of your own. The little act of kindness. So easily out of mind; Those chances to be angefr Which every mortal finds Tboy come in night and silence Each chill, reproachful wraith When hope is faint and flagging. And a blight has dropped on faith. For life is all too short, dear. And sorrow is all too great. To suffer our slow compassion That tarries until too late. And it's not the thing you do, dear. It's the thing you leave undone, Which gives you the bit of headacho At the setting of the sun. Margaret E, Songster. IIUMOB OF THE DAY. An old-tiuior The sun-dial. The golden mien Putting ou airs.
