Down near one of tho Southern eit iee, whero the flowers bloom nearly all the year 'round, and the oriole builds his nest end calls to his mate to oome— for the home is prepared.—is a cometry famous for its beauty, says the {Tome Journal. Years ago it was tho oountry Ece of a very rich man. He was a ower, with a beautiful daughter and re handsome soqs. The daughter was a sweet girl, idolized by her father, Which affection she more than reoipro gatyl. A bitter family feud existed be tween tho father aud his nearest beigh jbor, who had but one child—a son. At a friend's house this pretty Juliet met and grew to know her Romeo. Naturally enough they fell in love with each other, vowed eternal oon g'tancy, and thought that, iq time, tho fathers of each might be won over by their children and induced to givo oon fient to the marriage. But tho old mou new bitter and more bitter, and the two sweethearts found it very diffloult to see each other. One summer uigbt the little lady had an appointment with her lover at the foot of the hill just in front of her honse. Tho moon was so bright that she dreadod going ont in heT own clothes, and so, in spirit of frolic, she had her maid hunt up some pi her brother's clothes, and into thorn she got, laughing as she thought how her sweetheart would be surprised. A long, old-fashioned cloak was thrown bvpr her, and a broad-brimmed, soft felt hat crowned her head. As she Went over the hill one of her brothers saw her, and told bis father that he be lieved some one from the next place lf'as on their grounds, possibly to kill some of their dogs or poison their horses. Very quickly the old man rnshed to the veranda, armed with a gun. He saw the figure moving along swiftly, but he took aim, aim so sure that it struok his own heart, and fired. Both arms went up in the air, the figure ttaggored and fell over. Hearing the shot, the waiting lover rnshed to seo what was the matter. , In the mean time the others had gathered round. The hat had fallen pff the pretty head which it had dis gnised, and there, pure and white, un er the light of the moon, was revealed to the brothere tho faoe of their own Sister. She was carried back to the house, dead—not able to speipk her for giveness to her father, pr give a word of love to her sweetheart. The scone can be easily imagined. The lover up braided the father, but the younjm brother said: "As ah# lies hero let her be the peacemaker. She loved yesi in life; let us care for oaoh other becanso of her death." So Bhe was buried near her old home, and all the people for miles around, knowing of her tragic 'death, cwrne to show their respect and to lino and oover her grave with the blossoms which she had loved in her life. The beautiful oountry place waa sold with the express proviso that it was to be made a cemetery. The brothers and the father and the lover all went away, and never came back until eaoh waa brought there to be laid to rest near the one they had loved.

If now does a yearly busi ness of $28,750,000. THE world's annual production of iron-ore is placed at 53,280,000 tons, that of coal 482,000,000 tons, that of pig iron 24,869,000 tons, and that of steel 10,518,000 tons. The world's produc tion of pig-iron has increased 70 per cent, since 1878, and its production of steel has iucreased in the sumo period 248 per cent. IT has been discovered that swallows are even more swift and reliable for the transmission of messages than carrier pigeons. A bird of this variety, sent from Paris to Bordeaux, made the dis tance—3oo miles—in two hours, and re- to Paris the same evening in the same time. If swallows may be used in this way, perhaps the same line of busi ness is open to that dissolute and ill bred bird, the English sparrow. With any thing like the speed of the swallow, the sparrow would be a great improvement on the average messenger boy. THE scarcity of rubber the past year is not due to the revolution in Brazil cutting off the supply. The demand has lately greatly increased, and though new local ities are opened for supplying the raw gum, yet the supply does not, nor is it likely to, increase in the same ratio. It is inevitable that this staple article must ere muny years become a cultivated pro duct, and the primitive methods of gathering rubber from trees growing wild in forests will give way to more intelli gent plans. Unless this is done India rubber must become increasingly scarce, as the demand for it is steadily growing. APROPOS of his visit this year to the United States on a lecturing tour Stanley tells a good story about his former visit here. On his last lecture tour in this country one of the dignitaries at Amherst wrote to him expressing the hope that while in Amherst Stanley would be his guest. lie was pained and puzzled at receiving from Mr. Stanley's secretary a curt reply to the effect that the gentle man need have no fear, as Mr. Stanley was always a gentleman. The lecturer did not accept the invitation, and later it came out that the gentleman's invita tion to "be my guest while in Amherst'' had been read "be very quiet while in Amherst." A NATIVE paper of India has this (o say about Christian missionaries: "Wo must not fear the missionaries because they have white faces, or because they belong to the ruling class. There is no connection between the government and Christianity, for the Queen-Empress pro claimed neutrality in all religious mat ters in 1858. Wo must, therefore, oppose the missionaries with all our might. Whenever they stand up to preach let Hindu preachers stand up aud start rival preaching at n distance of forty feet from them, and they will soon flee away. Let caste aud sectarian differ ences be forgotten, and let all the people join as one man to banish Christianity from our land. All possible efforts should be made to win back those who have embraced Christianity, and all children should be withdrawn from mis sion schools." TIIE commission appointed to consider the question of coal-waste in tho state of Pennsylvania has sent out a circular of inquiries on topics relating to the inves tigation it has undertaken. The ques tions come under three categories—of geological and statistical waste, waste of producing and marketing, and utiliza. tion of conl waste. Under the first head are questions relating to the amount, an nual production, and natural wastes of the coal-beds. Tho second heading in cludes the waste incurred in preparing the coal for market, the amount of culm, etc. The third head embraces the Bri quette system of preparing the waste for use, the appliances by which it is util ized without mechanical preparation, and the gnsifying processes ami use in the destruction of garbage or cremating work, and its agricultural experimenta tion. A BELGIAN chemist is said to have de vised a method of rendering fabrics proof against the ravages of decay for an indefinite period. Noting the fact that resin played an important part in the wonderful preservation of Egyptian mummies, be made numerous experiments with substances extracted from birch bark, to which tho peculiar aroma of Russia leather is due. He found that the green tar which is left over after the oil used in tunning has been extracted from the white bark of the birch tree yields neither acid nor alkaloid, and that in solution with alcohol it forms a liquid of remarkable fluidity, which has the power of resisting when dry the action of even alcohol. It is claimed that this preservation possesseo the property of uniting with the most delicate and bril liant colors and rendering them apparent ly imperishable. ACCORDING to the report of the Cali fornia state mining bureau the impression that the gold mines of California are depleted below the point of profitable production is a mistaken one. The gold taken out has exhausted but little of the auriferous wealth of the state, and the annual production has not heretofore much exceeded what it may be reason ably hoped to reach and maintain in the future. Besides its gold fields and silver bearing lodes, California possesses the more common metals and materials in great variety. There is haruly a county in the stute but has valuable mineral de posits of one kind or another, and the distribution of these products is pro nounced remarkable. Fourteen of the fifty-three counties mnke a notable pro duction of gold, and twelve of gold and Bilver; five produce quicksilver, two borax, two salt, four asphaltum, two petroleum, three copper, etc. Were California even poor in the precious met als, it would yet become a great mining state. It is asserted in the report that gold-mining has not yet reached even the stage of sturdy infancy. GERMANY, declares tho New York Tribune, owes much of her astonishing growth and success during the last fifty years to the attention devoted by the au thorities to athletics in the schools nnd in the army. As every German citizen has passed through cither the ouc or the other, and in most cases through both, the entire adult male population may be regarded as having enjoyed the inestima ble advantage of a careful and thorough gymnastic training. While the latter is not compulsory in this country, our citi zens of German birth arc too much con vinced of the benefits derived from calis thenics to dream of neglecting them. Accordingly, they have organized Turn vercin, or athletic clubs, throughout tho United States on the lines of those which constitute so important a feature of life iu Germany. Numerous handsome and perfectly equipped gymnasiums iu var ious parts of the country furnish cvi- Icnce as to the popularity and prosper ity of these associations, twelve of which belonging to the New York dis ;rict began yesterday in this city their grand jubilee festival, which will extend over three days. OCT at the Folsom prison, Oregon, there is a horse that has developed a singular characteristic, which consists in an earnest desire to eat all the red and green peppers he can get hold of. The animal behaves just like any other horse, except in the particular matter above mentioned. He is a good worker and tame and manageable. llow he acquired the love for peppers is a matter of con jecture.

The Unusual Phenomona Witnessed in Sunda Strait, I.omc unusual phenomena were obser ved by Capt. John Newman, commanding the bark Kelvin, during his recent cruise in the East Indies. On his voyage from Singapore to New York his track lay through Sunda Strait, which separates Java from Sumatra, and through which passes a large portion of the trade of China, also most of the trade of Butavia and other ports of the Java and China seas. The great channel is limited on the north by the conspicuous island of Kra katoa, on which is the volcano that kicked up such a rumpus while in a state of eruption a few years ago, the effects of which, it is fair to presume, arc contin ued in a measure to the present day. The changes in the locality resulting from the eruption have been so great that a new survey has been necessary, and vessels are still advised to take every precaution when navigating near the shore or coming to nu anchor there. On June 20 last, the Kelvin was quietly going along with sails barely filled by the light southerly airs that caused hardly a ripple on the surface. About 11:30 in the evening, when about eight miles east northeast from the entrance to Sunda Strait, which is mnrked by Krakatoa, the water suddculy appeared on fire in patches of about two feet in diameter. These patches were about eight or ten feet apart and radi ated in long lines from the vessel as far as the eye could see. They ex tended iu every direction, the bark her self beiug the central point. The Cap tain at first thought the show was due to an unusual phosphorescence, the like of which none of the hands aboard, sailors though they were, could ever remember having seen before. The patches seemed to pulsate as the bark slowly sailed along, and their brilliancy would change with each successive throb, growing quite dim and then suddenly springing into their full blaze of light. These pulsa tions continued for about three-quarters of an hour, tho rate frequently running as high as sixty to the minute. When the light would reappear after its mo mentary dullness, the water seemed to be literally on fire and the flame on top moved like the idle flapping of the top gallant sails. This last feature continued some ten or fifteen minutes after the pulsations had ceased, and gradually it died aw ay. Tho moon throughout was shining through tho light clouds that covered about one-third of the skv, nnd there were occasional flashes of lightning to the northward and westward. There was no apparent effect upon the workings of the barometer, nor was there anything apparently taking place in Krakatoa that could throw any light upon the subject. —[New York Times. Romance of a Dead Heart. The following "romance of a dead heart" comes from Burlington, Vt.: For resurrecting his lady love and cut ting out her heart, a popular young Can adian physician, I)c Armaud Patanaud, is wanted on the charge of grave-robbing. The doctor belongs to a prominent French Canadian fnmily, and came to Wihooski to practice. There he fell in love with a farmer's daughter, Catharine Collins. Dr. Patanaud became infatuated with the girl, who rebuffed his advances nnd declared that she loved another. The doctor, however, persisted, and one day the girl told him iu jest: "You shall have my heart when I am dead." "Do you mean it?" asked the doctor, "Why, of course," was the laughing reply. Last week the girl fell sick with pneumonia, ana despite the utmost exertion of Pata nuad's skill,she died and was buried in the parish churchyard. The very next day the grave was found to have been dis turbed aud the body was found missing. Eventually the corpse was found in tho woods with the heart cut out. A country man was arrested on suspicion,and he con fessed to helping Dr. Patanaud to rob the grave. The body had been taken to the doctor's office and the heart taken out and placed in alcohol. The doctor fled to Canada, taking his precious treasure with him. He had claimed his love's dead heart, aud was happy. His Can adian friends, however, declare that his infatuation has unhinged his mind, and he is now insane.—[Times-Dcmo- c#at. To Arouse a Drunken Han. "The best way to arouse a drunken man is to pinch him under the arms," says a police officer. "I found a drunken fellow lying across the track at Tenth and Morgan streets late one night, and it seemed impossible to arouse him. I clubbed him over tho soles of his feet and rolled and shook him, but he lay as limp as a rag. Just then an old gentle man suggested that I pinch him under the arms. "The effect was electrical. I had him awake and fighting mad at once. On another occasion Sergeant Pierce tried the same experiment on a sot at the Fourth district station, who was delay ing the Black Maria. The man stood it for a while, nnd then suddenly opened his eyes and, dealt the sergeant a blow that would have felled an ox.

PEARL FISHING. It Has Become Quite an Induetry in the South. It is a fact not popularly known that the fresh water pearling industry in the United States and especially in the South, has, during the past few years, assumed quite large proportions. Dealers in gems report a goodly trade in this artiele. A few observations and a few details and a little gossip about the odd characters who engage in pearl-fishing in the South may not be without interest. Trade statistics, which are usually dry enough, are sufficiently interesting to show us that the pearling industry alone has done more to enrich certain back counties in Tennessee aud Alabama than any other trade or pursuit. The country merchants are the ones to accrue most of the advantages offered by this commerce, as they generally get first hands on the article, and as the pearler is nearly al ways forced to take the price they set upon it. Some of these small brokers tuke in quite snug sums in this way. Where the Tennessee and the Cumber land Rivers and their tributaries, and the Pearl and the Tombigbec, and the Black Warrior and theirs, and the Chattahoo chee and the Oconee, and the Ogeechee and the Savannah, and the Broad and the Waterec and the Great Pedee, and half a hundred others, flow through bauks of sand and over shoals and bars, you may come upon a group of pearlers at work, if a spring or summer sky hangs overhead. Their methods arc very sim ple. The bars and sand-banks are raked and robbed of every living mussel, this operation usually taking up half a day. Then the pearlers leisurely retire to the shore and the boat-load of mussels is re moved to the bank, where they are slowly are carefully opened and examined. Often not even the nucleus of a pearl is found in the whole lot; while at other times, perhaps, a couple of hundred dollars' worth of the pretty gems may be ob tained as the result of the day's work. The desirability of the sand bank as a searching point is made obvious when we consider the nature of a pearl. It is formed, as most readers know, by sand or any other fine foreign particle or sub stance working in between the glands of the curious, sensitive creature within, which is compelled in self-defense to cover it with the transparent enameling with which it coats its shell. It is the irregular layers of this substance which yield the beautiful iridescent light ob served in finely formed specimens. It hits been generally thought that the fresh water mussel yields but poorly formed and colored gems at best, but it has been discovered that the mussels of North American rivers, and especially those in the Southern States, sometimes produce pearls of a remarkable beauty. —[Detroit Free Press. South Africa is Booming. In Bishop Heber's classic missionary hymn we sing, u Where Afric's sunny fountains, roll down their golden sand." Though not literally true, the symbol is being verified. Certainly the southeast ern part of this Dark Continent is rising from a state of despondency into one of sunshine and prosperity. It lias a future which will doubtless astonish the world more thau California or Australia have done. About twenty years ago, Mauch, a German traveller, picked up, in the re gion of Mangwato, the chief town of the Betyuana tribe, a few specimens of quartz containing gold. Showing them to peo ple in Natal he observed, "There will be found ere long in the interior of Africa vast quantities of the precious metal." Some famous ruins were explored by him, probably old Portuguese fortifica tions, called by Itider Haggard " Solo mon's Mines," but the Matabele tribo then claiming jurisdiction over the coun try • would not allow him to prospect. Gold seekers have not now to go so far to gratify their wishes. The Transvaal, Swaziland Zululand, and even Natal arc auriferous. In 1888 the total yield of gold was SO,- 250,000, and in 1889 Johannesburg alone yielded much more than that sum. The growth of Johannesburg has been truly wonderful. Hotels, theatres, churches and stores have been built, many of which, for style, would do credit to a city in England or America. The impetus given in Natal, in conse quence of the gold discoveries, was great to the merchants, who before were in a state of depression. Durban, the sea port town, bids fair to be a second Mel bourne. There is a great demand for houses, and in some cases persons were in search of them for six months before obtaining them. The railway in Natal has wrought many changes. At first the Boers did not take kindly to the idea of having their nice sheep farms cut up by this modern invention. But on seeing that one of their number sold his farm with its gold mine for $500,000 to an European syndicate, and knowing that a few years since the farm could have been bought for 1(500, their views changed. The "immortal dollar" is taking posses sion of the Dutch as well as English.— [New York Observer. Ancient Light Standard. M. Steinert, whose famous collection of rare old musical instruments has been exhibited in various cities and is now in Washington, has just become the pos sessor of a rude light standard of the fifth century. This article is not a candlestick, for it antedates the age of caudles. It is about a foot in height, made of iron and wood. A rude nnd rusty rod of wrought iron is driven into a block of wood, which, though very aged, probably is not the original block that was cut out for the implement. The rod supports a tool which works on the scissors principle, one end being used for nippers. One of the iron rode extends backwurd and has a huge iron for n weight to hold it down. The fire brands were placed in the nippers and held there by the weight. One material which was used for il luminating in the days of this instru ment was a sort of vegetable candle that grew in swamps. The ends of this were dipped in grease and set on fire, the centre of the candle being placed in the iron jaws of the standard. This was the best method of illuminating at that age. The instrument was presented to Mr. Steinert by a lady in whose family in Wales it had been kept for generations. —[Washington Star. To Boggar Capitalists.

In some respects the frame bird of tbe plains changes liia habits with his habitat. Especially is this noticeable during the breeding season. The prairie in Illinois will lay its eggs and fekr Ira young in the same field where it will be hunted later in the season. But in the Piatt valley in Nebraska, it tnakes its nest on the islands. These islands are low, friuged with brush and Covered with luxuriant grasses that are not otlfc until late in the autumn. Here there is absolutely no danger of molesta tion from man, and prairie fires are com paiitively unknown. Late fires cook probably one-third of the eggs that are laid on the uplands. The "booming" by the river has stop ped. The male birds are already on the uplands. Amid tbe oarex and wild grass, under plum brush and beside the osiers the young birds are getting fat. Their mothers teach them to exercise their wings, and their eyes are suffi ciently bright to detect a grasshopper or a butterfly many yards away. But this kind of life cannot last forever. It is early in July. The click of the mower floats down from the rolling praijies above the river. Oats are ripen ing, and the wheat will soon be ready for the reaper. The river grass is dry ing. It is time for flight. It seems as though this migration is preconcerted. Early in July the females bring their broods together, and for a couple of days there is an incessant flight to the North and South. Then the islands aro deserted until the next spring. The hunting soason should not begin before the iniddlo of August, aud farmhrs as a rule comply with the regu lations 0! tho game law. But every town a few self-sly led sportsmen, who 66|nmence to destroy chickens aud quail before the young birds have their power pf flight fully developed. This makes harder work and longer trips for those wjio shoot only In the open season. Still such a state of affairs cannot be helped until the West makes provisions for the rigid enforcement of the game laws already enacted, but which are practically a dead letter.
