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

near the one they had loved. Now tho

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
TUB Co-operative Wholesale Society,
of Manchester, England, was started in
1884. In that year its business amounted
to $440,000. 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.

A SEA OF FIRE.
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.

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-

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. The treat
ment is a dead sure thing; fetches them
every time."—[St. Louis Globe-Demo

Wet Feet.
llow often do we sec people tramp
ling about in the mud, with shoes soaked
through; and, how ofteu do such people
when they return homo sit down by the
fireside and permit their feet to dry,
without changing either stockings or
shoes. Can we then wonder at tho
coughing and barking, and rheumatism
and inflammation which enable the doc
[ tors to ride in their carriages? Wet feet
most commonly produce affections of the
throat and lungs; nnd when such dis
eases have once taken place, "the house
is on fire," danger is not fur off; there
fore, every one, no mnttcr how healthy,
ought to guard against wet feet. —[The

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.

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.—

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.

Bins, blue birds aud warblers that ar
rive only when orchards are set out and
timber claims are well under jvuy.
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. Were sports
men's clubs and institution wost as well
as east of the Mississippi, tho matter
would soon rectify itself.
IT is said that a iiivoroo lawyor would

expressed thus:
It Cures Promptly, Permanently;
Which means strictly, that the pain-stricken
seek a prompt relief with no return of the
pain, and this, they say, St. Jacobs Oil will
give. This is its excellence.

There are some patent med
icines that are more marvel
lous than a dozen doctors'
prescriptions, but they're not
those that profess to cufe
everything.
Everybody, now and them
feels " run down," " played
out." They've the will, but
no power to generate vitality.
They're not sick enough to
call a doctor, but just too
sick to be well. That's
where the right kind of a
patent medicine comes in,
and does for a dollar what
the doctor wouldn't do for
less than five or ten.
We put in our claim for
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
We claim, it to be an un
equaled remedy to purify
the blood and invigorate the
liver. We claim it to be
lasting in its effects, creating
an appetite, purifying the
blood, and preventing Bilious,
Typhoid and Malarial fevers
if taken in time. The time
to take it is when you first
feel the signs of weariness and
weakness. The time to take
it, on general principles, is
NOW.
