HARVEST.
Tbe South wind breathes n chant as it goes.
Blessing the ri[>ened cars tlint bend
And innrniur low as if each one knows
The warm South wind as the touch of a
friend.
The inland sea has 110 epic song
Of storm and conquest and trophies rare;
The sweet South wind as it sweeps along
Has no note in it of fear or care.
The golden >trin:rs of the inland sea
Sound rich full chords of a grateful land:
Plenty and Peace are all that I s.v
Where the bursting wneat ears no nuns
stand:
Garners full with a yellow store.
Cupboards cncc empty no longer bare.
Labor repaid, nor craving more,
Joy and contentment everywhere.

DOCTOR GEORGE
About the only earthly possession of
any value George Ilixson had on hi*
twenty-second birthday was a handsome
diploma of parchment tied up with a
blue ribbon. The diploma was from a
medical college of very high standing,
aud George had worked hard and faithfully
for four long years for that diplo?

able possession.
lie had with it a good deal of capital
in the shape of courage, enthusiasm,
faith in himself and the world. He was |
honest, manly and patient, and could
bcgiD life at the right end of the ladder, J
lie was so poor that he had to walk part
way from the college to his old home, j
the village of Sharon. The first man he
met at the end of his tiresome journey
was old Enoch Lampson, a man who had
known George from the day of his birth.
"How de do, George, how de do? I
Home again, ch?"' was the old man's
greeting.
"Yes, sir," replied George, "home to
stay this time."
"So ycr a full fledged pill maker, an'
ready to go into partnership with old
Biily, our graveyard sexton, hey?" asked
the oid man, with poor wit.
George felt disposed to resent this, but
he did not.
"Yc don't cal'clatc on seuiiu down
lierc in Aharon, (lo ye?" couiinucd old
Enoch.
"Yes, sir, I do."
"Wall, now, I duno?I duno 'bout
that, (ieorgc."
"Why shouldn't I begin here?" asked
the young mnn; "I hear that old Dr.
Edmonds has died lately, and no one has :
yet come totakehis place. Why should I
I not do so? I am young?"
"That's hit, George! that's hit!" in- j
terrupted old Enoch; "ycr too voting; j
that's jist whar the shoe pinches. Leas- I
wise, that's one place wlmr hit pinches, j
'.Xuther thing is that?that?"
The old man scratched his head in !
evident confusiou. lie looked keenly at j
the young man, whose face began to
llush. *
"Wnl." resumed the old man, "you |
know as well as anybody, George, jiss
w'at ycr fam'ly connections is; you know j
that?"
"I know it so well that you need not j
take the trouble t:> enlighten me any
lurtber on tne subject, - rcpucu iuu vuuhj; i
man, very quickly: "I know to my sor- I
row that my father was a common j
drunkard,and that I am generally known j
as 'old Joe Ilixson's son.' I know that j
my eldest brother followed in my father's ]
footsteps, and was killed in a drunken
brawl in this town. My other brother
has gone to the bad, too. But I know,
as you know, too. Mr. Lampson,that my
mother was as good a woman as ever
lived through years of shame and suffering,
to die at last of a broken heart.''
"That's even so. George,"' admitted
the old man. "I knowed your mother !
when she was purty Mary Jackson, 'fore
it was ever her misfortune to know yer
reperbate father, an' she was, as you say,
as good a woman as ever drawed breath:
but hit's yer father's name you've got,
an' the name o' Ilixsou don't stan' very
high in these parts. But I'll say fcryou,
George, that I hain't a word to say agiu
you pussonally an' iadividooly. I am
free ter say an' 1/lieve that yer of a mind
ter do what's right, an' that you want to
raise yer name far 'bove the o'jeeum that's
now on bit."
"I do want that," was the young man's
earnest reply," and it's strange if the
Christian people of this town refuse to
give me help and encouragement. My
own record here is clear; I am not
ashamed to have it read. Of course, 1
am young, and most people arc a little
afraid of young physicians; but all physicians
were once young, and I must have
a beginning, you know.
"Now, I have studied faithfully, carefully,
even prayertuily, for four long
years. I have spent every dollar I had
educating myself. No one knows of the |
deprivations I have had to sutler for this,"
and he held up nis diploma as he spoke.
t - "I have earned it," he went on; "it is
my own by light of four years "f hard
study. Of course, I kuow of the opposition
I will probably meet with in the
beginning. I am young; I know more
of theory than of practice so far. But
there arc several reasons why I want to j
locate here in my boyhood's home. I am
bound to win in the end; you will see
that I do."
"Wall, George, I hain't a thing ag'in
you myself. 1 wish you well as far as
I'm rnnpnrrwd Yfir rrritfv- T rpmpmber
that you had that streak in you when
you was a little youngster. But I jist
made up my mind that I'd tell you fair
and square what the chances wuz for
an' og'in you here."
"I am greatly obliged, I'm sure,"' said
George, ''but 1 was prepared for all you
have told me. I feel that I shall succeed
in the end. 'Commit thy way unto
the Lord. Trust also in Ilim, and he |
shall brinir it to pass.' There is the j
foundation of my faith and courage, Mr. ;
Lampson. I have often proved the
truth of that most helpful and most I
blessed promise. It gives me courage j
and coniidencc now. I know it will not I
fail me."'
But there were many days and weeks j
and months after that when poor
George's courage and confidence almost
failed him.
Old Enoch had truthfully said:.
"Dr. George will have a hard row lo
dig."
fir; lie had, indeed. The name of Ifixson
? was in bad repute in and around Sharon. !
< The people were prejudiced against the i
v/-'^ poor young fellow, although thev could
js./ not but admit that his own character ;
ErV "wa3 above rcproach. They had known
'i him from his baby days up, and it did j
Mr*' not "seem natural" to call him Dr. j
pr""-- Hixson. And he was so proud of that i
> hard-earned title.
Those who used it at all call him "Doc- !
Bfe". tor George;" that took away half the |
dignity for him, and was a familiarity 1
he resented in secret, although he dared '
not do :*o openlv. Others called him
"Doc." and that was simply galling to '
Er the high strung young man. lie was
daily hurt by covert or open sneers.
. Even children ridiculed him md his new
title.
Could anything be more exasperating
than to have a crowd of ill-bred urchins !
assemble in front of his poor, shabby
little otlice, while one of their number
sung out:
l^ocior, uociur, kiu vuu tun
What will make a sick man well?
(Jrease bis heels and tar his nose,
And that will do, I suppose.
The doctor's ollice was a shabby little j
alTair, and he was quite too poor to make
it better. It had no carpet, do pictures, i
nothing but a cheap desk, a chair or two |
and the few old but valuable books ]
which comprised the doctor's library. !
Appearances go a good way toward a J
physician's success or failure, 110 matter |
how greatly we may ellect to underrate ;
1 them, ile should be well dressed. A 1
shabby man can never assume a digni- I
fied appearance. His office should be
neat and inviiing. It augurs ill for the
amount of a man's practice if his office j
is as shabby as poor Doctor George's was. I
If the young fellow could only have j
had a chance. But there were the
people sending ten miles to K?, a '
neighboring town, for Dr. Graves, who j
could ride over in his carriage and count j
their pulse-beats by a magnificent gold I
watch. His clothes were of the best and
tailor-made, and l.e had graduated from
the same collegc from which Dr.George's
diploma had comc. His father had left
him a moderate fortune and he could begin
his career in a manner becoming a
physician.
And then George had to sit in his ;
dreary office, in his frayed and patched
garments, waiting for the patients that j
would not come, while Dr. Graves went j
driving by day after day. Every few i
days the disturbed and dejected young |
doctor beard rumors of a rival coming to
Sharon, and the village paper openly j
published in its columns that "An ex- j
perienced and competent physician will 1
da well to locate in Sharon."
After that Doctor George thought he i
would really have to seek a new field of
labor, and in depest despondency he j
feared that he had perhaps relied too |
much 011 the promise that had so long |
encouraged and consoled liim.
Hut he read another promise, solemn 1 j
and sweet, to his troubled heart:
"I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.''
''It will all come right in the end," he 'I
said; but the end seemed so far away.
He would he only ''old .Toe Hixson's
son"' to these people all the days of his j
life. There was no end to that shame j
and sorrow. The sins of a drunken and 1
depraved father were visited upon the <
head of a son who was deserving of the t
world's honor :?id esteem, lie had risen f
above them into the beauty and iilory :*f t
a pure ana nouie mauuoou. i nroi'^n '
shame and sorrow, discouragement and j '
poverty, he had struggled up to a higher :
and a better life, and yet the good pco- 1
pie of Sharon daily made him look hack- 1
ward to the life he had left. And no 1
friendly hand was stretched forth to help
him onward. <
"It is really surprising to see the as- 1
surance 'old Joe llixson's son' displays," 1
said Mrs. Colonel (Jiddings, the wealthi- i
est woman in Sharon, "withhis antoced- I
ents, to set himself up for our physician." I
During six months Dr. George had <
but two patients. One of them was a I
boy who had cut his tinger badly, and <
the other was a child with the colic, lie :
had not, however, wasted his time, lie :
had studied and learned much.
lint at last he made up his mind to go 1
out West. Hone had died out in his <
heart. The people of Sharon were de- 1
tcrmincd to ignore him. He could not i
succeed there."lie need not be "old Joe
llixson's son'' among strangers. But
there were those precious promises! 1
"They will be fulfilled yet in the Lord's 1
own time and place," lie said,chcerfully.
"He probably means that I shall go away i
from here to something better than I
have dared hope for."
So he made ready to go. The home of i
his childhood was dear to him, and he 1
was fond of familiar faces, even if thcv 1
were not always kindly. He had always i
felt timid about going among total 1
strangers. Hut his poor little t runk was
| packed, and he had gone around saving i
good-bye to the few friends who cared i
to say good-bye to him. He intended i
goinjr on Tuesday. <
On Monday afternoon a little tow- i
headed boy met him on the street.
| "Say. you, Doctor George." he said, i
[ "my ma wants you to come up to our
house and see if there's anything the '
matter of our Tommy; 'cause if there is i
ma wants to send for Doctor Graves."
The insulting message made the blood <
fairly tingle in the young doctor's veins. i
Hut the next moment lie laughed. t
"Oh! well, it don't matter," he said; 1
"I'll go. It will heip me to say truth- 1
fully that I've had some practice." i
Tommy was the very urchin who had \
sung the hateful doggerel before Dr. i
George's office. <
The young physician examined the s
boy carcfully; then lie said: ]
"Well, Tommy, my boy, it will take :
something more than grease on your 1
heels and tar on your nose to make you t
well; you hive the small-pox.'' i
"I don't believe it," said Tommy's c
mother, sharply; "I don't believe you (
know small-pox from the measles. I'll <
send for Dr. Graves right ofT." I
"Very well, raadame,"said Dr. George, r
politeiy bowing himself out.
Hut late that evening Tom's mother i f
came crying to Dr. George. (
"I)r. Graves wouldn't come," flic c
said: "he was going to, but when he 1
heard that it looked like small-pox with
Tommy he said he wasn't well, and just 1
sent some medicine that ain't done him ]
a bit of good. If you would come up, j
sir!" c
It was the first time he had been ad- 1
dressed as "sir" for many a day. i
"Ar i ?.;n ;

That was the >cginniug of Doctor f
George's practice iu Sharon. "Within
ten days there were fourteen cases of i
small-pox. The aunalsof the little town f
contain a record of how it was scourged 1
by that fearful disease. Before the end t
came there were oue or more casts iu s
nearly every house. The means taken t
to prevent the spr::ad of the disease had
proved ineffectual. At last the town \
was quarantined. i
When Dr. Graves was sent for a sec- i
ond time it was discovered that lie had i
suddenly been callcd away "on busi- c
ness.M He stayed away all winter. c
Dr. George went back to his empty office
after seeing Tommy a second time, r
He unpacked his trunk, lighted a can- j
die. and began to read a certain medical j
work, lie read until midnight, until 1, ' ]
2, 3 o'clock, until the dawn cf day, that j i
found him on his bended knees, prayer- j j
ful, and even tearful, lie felt that there , a
had been given him work to do?that a I r
change was comingin his life. I r
lie lK!camc a tower of strength to those t
stricken lieoplc. lie was doctor, nurse, ; \
consoier?more tnan nc thought he ever ; a

llis success with Tommy was assured : a
within a few days, and others came | t
eagerly after him. Ilis skill in baffling s
the disease was wonderful. Had he not j c
the hc.ivenly lacl|>? There were few i ]
deaths, anil many people came forth, 1 j
their fair anil blooming cheeks unmarked J {
by the dread disease.
Mrs. Colonel Giddings' beautiful j
daughter was stricken down while i
making preparations to fly from the J
town. ' s
Mis. Giddiugs' own carriage came for 1 c
"old Joe llixscn's son." 1 lis contami | 1
natcd presence was in her splendid par- | 1
lors and in her daughter's dainty loom. ,1
His skill and careful watching brought c
her beautiful daughter forth with all of c
her girlish loveliness unharmed. ?
He had hardlv time to eat or sleep for <
many days. His very presence gave 1
hope and courage to the suffering. He 1
escaped the contagion, but when his last i s
case was dismissed he was utterly ex- j i
haustcd, and quietly left the village for j i
a week or two of rest. When he returned ?
his heart sank within him. In the win- J
dow of one of the handsomest ollicc- ?'!
rooms in the town he saw the word 1 '
"Physician'' in great letters of gold, i 1
Handsome curtains were before the win- t
dows. Everything indicated that the j <
new-comer had been a successful man. I 1
He hardly dared to read the name on the J
door. When he did he read :
"Dr. George II. Ilixson." j 1
"Go 'long in an' sec how you like it,*' j <
saU old Enoch Lampson, who stood I <

The ama/.eil young doctor opened the : 1

A Physician's Secret. j<
A pathetic story is told by the English f
medical journals. Dr. "Warburg com- P
pounded for many years a valuable rem- j
edy for malarious diseases, which was t
especially useful in tropical climates.
General (iordon, when he was governor- t
general of the Soudan, declared that lie c
owed his life to it, and the English nn:d- j
ical profession came to regard it as one
of the most powerful febriluges. Pro- '
fessor W. .Maclean appealed to Dr. ! t
Warburg to reveal the secret <>f its com- n
position for the benefit of medical sci- a
ence. The request was heeded and the ],
formula, which had previously been a a
well-guarded secret, was published in the j
London I.uncit. The consequences were ?
disastrous to the inventor's fortunes. g
Druggists in England and Judi.a prepared
the remedy themselves and sold it for j g
their own benefit. The inventor's income ; c
was taken awav as soon as he parted with
his secret, and his profits went to the | j",
wholesale and retail drug trade. Tne j ?
government of India made a irrant of j
sl,000 tohimin token of its appreciation | c
of the value of the remedy, Otherwise I
tiie worm was inumoreiu to nis laic, nc | jis
now in destitute circumstances at the j
age of eighty-one, and the English med- j
ical journals are making appeals to the j
profession to relieve his poveity.
The Mcdi'-al lieror'l, in which we find i tl
the details of this interesting case, read- c
ily concedcs the hardship and personal tl
sacrifice of the man, who gave to '-trop- a
ical mediciue a powerful weapon to con- is
tend with a disease that kills twice as j ir
many victims as cholera and sm.illpox ^ h
put together." It returns, however, an c
emphatic negative to the fjuestion: j o
"Shall a physician keep secret his for- I o
muhe?" It maintains that whatever in- j h
justice may fall upon the individual, it. I h
would be demoralizing to the profession tl
and injurious to the puMic if physicians ! il
attempted to make secrets of their favor- j li
ite and most helpful remedies. | L

Hie Perilous Positions in Which
They IMn.ro Themselves When
ltrealiing- a "Jam."
A 15angor(Me.) letter to the New
i'ork Wort./ describes the life of those
lardy, darimr, red sliirted fellows who
lrivc the logs cut by the woodsmen
lirougli the tumbling, rushing streams
uul tlie swift waters of the Penobscot to
he booms, whence they are distributed
jy their various owners to the mills:
I'lic principal drives arc from the cast
iml west branches of the Penobscot,
:he Mattawamkcag, the Piscataquis,
[Measant and Passadinnkcag rivers, all
;ributaries of the one great watercourse.
Driving logs is a laborious and often
Sangcrous occupation. When the winter
work of cutting the logs is over and
I he icy brooks and streams arc full of
the great spruce, pine and hemlock
trunks, the axe-swingers come out and
tlie lumbermen engage their driving
jrews. To be a driver one must be ac:ive,
fearless and equally indifferent to
:old water ami haul work. The drivers
ire generally Tarratine Indians, a liberal
sprinkling of that much detested class
Known as the "P. E. I.V'?
Prince Edward's Islanders. The
:rews. with their bosses, go to where
the logs are stocked, part of the way by
rail and then by team, batteau or on
foot.
Arriving at their destination they st irt
the logs in the quick water and follow
them down aloug the shore. If there
were no falls, no edges or other obstructions
the work would be easy, but if a
single log of the rushing mass sticks on
the brink of a dam. or is caught against
\ rock, thousands of others are stopped
thereby and a jam ensues. This must be
broken up at all hazards and some one
must go out upon the logs at the risk of
iiis life and, with what is known as a
"caut-dog," set the mass in motion
igain. If lie makes a misstep, or the obstructing
log yields at an unlucky momen!,
the driver disappears in the whirl
if waters and yocs down to his death,
ind if his mangled remains be found it
ivill not be until weeks afterward, many
miles below.
One of the drivers I met to day. lie
was of muscular build, with that hearty
manner peculiar to Penobscot rivennen.
He had just "comedown" and was quite
communicative, talking intelligently, if
induh loud, as he punched the floor of
:he boarding-house bar-room full of
lolcs with the steel calks in the soles of
lis shoes. He wore the conventional
driver's dress?heavy trousers, red shirt,
ivoolen socks and ponderous boots or
shoes. 1 asked him why his boots were
jut in several places at the toes. "Oh."
;aid lie, "that is to let the water which
pours over inc out and keep my feet from
scalding." lie said that driving was
mrd work until one became used to it:
.hen there was a fascination about it
vhicii always kept one at the work. The
Iriver, he said, is out day aud night, as
:ircuinstances demand. Sometimes two
jr three men are sent ahead of the main
jody to keep the logs running free past
? point where a jam is likely to occur.
Iney are given a junk of salt pork, a
Vying pan, a dry codfish and a quantity
)f hard bread, as the task may require
lays. At night this advance guard
juilds a big lire and sleeps on theground.
"Once," said the driver, "on the*west
branch of the Penobscot, 1 aud a companion
were delegated to look out for a
am below a;id ahead of the main body
)f logs. We had no boat, and when a
og stuck out in the stream we had to
)addlc out on a big spruce trunk to clear
t away. In returning we landed in four
?i. -e l.:.. on,i
tX'l Ul WUICI, IUU U 1?
vc had to wade ashore waist deep in the
cy water. A fierce storm wai in progress,
ind the walk back to camp was anything
)ut pleasant. At another time I was
vitli a crew trying to get
ome logs out of a small brook in which
lie water was low. It looked as though
llie logs would stay there all summer
vhen we turned in one night at a little
:abin on the shore. My friend had an
lpper bunk, in which he slept soundly
intil early morning, when he jumped
>ut of his bunk. He landed in two feet
>f water, in which the cabin furniture
vas floating. There had been a heavy
ain and the little brook had overflowed
ts banks."
The driver's work begins in the latter
>art of April and lasts until July 13 or a
nonth later. A green hand is paid $1.12
)er day; fairly good men Si. 75 to $2.50;
in experienced man $2.75, and a boatnan
$y, beside food, which is princi>ally
of beans. "Woodmen have beans
hrec times a day, drivers four times,
vi li molasses for sweetness and dried
ipples as an anti-scorbutic. The woodsnen

The Dead Sea.
The Dead sea is art old and decrepit
alt lake, in a very advanced statu of
ivaporution. It lies several feet below
he level of the Mediterranean, just as
ha Caspian lies several feet below the
evel of the Black sea; and as in both
ases the surface must once have been
:ontinuous, it is clear that the water of
lithcr sheet must have drie<l up to a very
ionsiuerable extent. Hut while the G'as>iftti
has shrunk only to eighty-five feet
jelow the Black sea, the Dead sea has
hrunk to the enormous depth of 1,202
eet below the Mediterranean. Every
low and then some enterprising I)c Les;eps
or other proposes to dig a canal
rom the Mediterranean to the Dead sea,
ind so re establish the old high level,
rhe elTect of this very revolutionary
iroceeding would be to flood the enire
.Jordan valley, connect the Sea of
lalilee with the Dead sea. and play
lie dickens generallv with Scripture

Dead Sea lirst began its independent

joersheba, at any rate from l)an lo
I'Motn, or, in other words, along the
vhole Jordan Valley f*oin the Sea of
ialilec aud even the waters of Merom to
he Southern desert. The modern Dead
ea is the last shrunken relic of such a
jonsiderable ancient lake. Its waters
ire now so very concentrated and so
.'cry nasty that no tisli or other sclf-reipecting
animal can consent lo live in
hem, and so buoyant that a man can not
Irown himself, even if he tries, because
lie sea is saturated with salt of various

A French Tower of lJabcl.
It is a French idea to crect in the
grouuds of the Paris exposition of 1S8!),
an iron tower three hundred yards in
heiglith?that is, twice as high as the
Great Pyramid and more than twice the
hcighth of the Strasburg cathedral. As
one hundred aud sixty yards is considered
the limit of height possible in a structure
in which stone is the principal material,
it is proposed to use iron. The
base of the tower is of pyramidal shape,
and is to be seventy yards high; the superficial
area at this height will be 5,000
square yards; above this are to bo three
other stages or stories, in which will be
room for various scientific and other purposes.
The towers of Xotre Dame will
be mere pigmies beside this colossal
structure, and will not reach to its first
floor. The projector points out
tnar, m auuuion 10 its munumcntal
character, the structure
will be useful for stragetical purposes in
war time on account of its vast range of
view; also for meteorological anil astronomical
observation, for at such a
height the clearness of the air and the
absence of fogs would render observation
possible which cannot be made
from the ground. The whole exhibition
and the surrounding neighborhood might
be lighted by one electric burner on this
tower. Many scientific problems may,
it is suggested, be investigated from the
tower, such as the resistance of the air
of different weights, certain laws of
elasticity, the study of the compression
of gas vapors, and of the oscillation of the
pendulum. In shape it is to resemble an
enormous light house, gradually taperering
frum a wide base to the summit.
Food Tor the Nervous.
A distinguished physician says that he
is disposed to exclude vegetables, with
the exception of cereals and a little fruit,
entirely from the dietary of nervous persons.
Animal food is more nutritious to
the nervous system and to the body generally
than a vegetable diet. It has all
the elements of the formation of the
tissuesof the body, and is easily digested.
Man can exist on it in any climate. Of
meats, beef is by far the best. Pork is
good for nervous people. Eggs boiled
just enough to harden the whites are
easily digested. It is a mistake about
people eating too much. The majority
do uot eat enough. Nervous dyspepsia
comes from working too hard and not
eating enough. When a man begins to
suffer from overwork he should eat plenty
of good bread and butter, drink two
quarts of milk a day, and eat plenty of
good meat. When such a person resorts
to a vegetable diet he grows weaker and
loses his nerve power. Man was made
to cat, and he never will flourish on a
vegetable diet.
Food and Conscience.
Never go to bed in any danger of being
hungry. People are kept awake by
hunger cjuite as much as by a bad conscience.
Remembering that sleep is the
essential force which the -whole scheme
starts, dccline tea or collee within six
hours before going to bed. If the womenkind
insist, you may have your milk and
kvnter at the tea-table colored with tea; j
jut the less the better. Avoid all mathe- j
uatics or intricate study of any sort in |
:he last six hours. This is the stufT I
;lreams arc made of, and hot heads, and
ilie nuisances of waking hours. Keep
your conscience clear. .Remember that
>ecausc the work of life is infinite,
you cannot do the whole of it in any
imited period of time, and that, therefore,
you may just as well leave oil in
me place as another.?Edward Everett
Uiilc.
W. Maticu Williams remarks that the

THE TRADE IN SEA SHELLS.
A PECULIAR BUSINESS OH THE PACIFIC
SLOPE.
Whore llie Shell* Come Front and
Who the Largest Buyers Arc?
Some Valuable Shells.
The sea shell business of California,
says the San Francisco JJulletin, is but
little known to the general public. In
fact, aside from those actually engaged
in the traffic, but few persons know anything
of its magnitude or minutia?. Los
Angeles is the center of this trade. The
Pacific coast and coast islands, from
Monterey, in California, to Aeapulco, iu
Mexico, with contributions from China,
Japan and the South seas, furnish the
product, and Europe is the market.
France is the largest buyer, and next in
the order named follow Germany, liclgium,
Holland and England. The product
consists of mother-of-pearl, pearl
oyster, brilliant or curious shells "from
Japan. China and the South seas, the
several varieties of abalonc, and a conchological
medley known in business
parlance as "small shells."
Small shells command from *50 to $70
per hundred pounds,and are found along
the shores of the South coast and on the
outlying islands. They reach California
in sacks, and in sacks they arc shipped
to Europe, where they arc used in the
manufacture of many various and ornamental
things.
The mother-of-pearl, known to the
trade as "the Tahiti shell," is the most
valuable of all shells. It is exquisitely
beautiful, live to eight inches iu diameter.
round and flat, and overlaid with a
tender, milk-white, gleaming surface
that immediately challanges admiration.
Specimen? of "the Tahiti shell" may be
seen in some of the art wiudows of this
city and New York. They arc usually
displayed with a sunburst, sunset, or
landscape painted 011 them, but the finest
and most perfect shells find their way to
Europe.
Mother-of-pearl shells arc found around
arcl oil the island of Tahiti. They are
deep water shells; native divers raise
them to the surface,and they arc brought
to California by traders, who procure
them 111 barter. The divers of Tahiti
display great daring and fortitude, and
many "tales arc told of the feats they perform
and the dangers they encounter.
Tales arc told of divers who never returner!,
and who are supposed to have
been devoured by marine monsters or
lost or entangled in the labyrinthian
windings of coral eaves.
Tahiti shells arc worth in lump,whole
sale $1.30 to $4 each, and the finest selected
shells are valued at $30 per pair.
In America Tahiti shells arc marketed
solely as articles of virtu, bric-a-brac and
curios. In Europe, hdwever, they find
additional use and value in the manufacture
of rare and elegant articles of
fancy, fashion, toilet and jewelry, and
in the creation of the most costly and
artistic inlaid work. Thus metamorphosed,
the shells of the occan find their
way back to America, form a distinct
trade, command fabulous prices, and become
the special prey of the tariff
demon.
l'earl oyster shells are next in value
and importance. They arc found along
the Mexican const, and their gathering
and shipment form fjuire :m industry at
La Pax. The pearl oyster is never larger
than an eastern "middling," but differs
very perceptibly in its conformation, it
is flatter and more regular, and rows of
ray-like grooves radiate from the thicker
portion. These shells arc used in the
manufacture of pearl buttons, a trade
confined exclusively to France. The
value of tlie pearl oyster depends upon the
%'agaries of fashion. Of abalone shells
there aie three distinct varieties known
to commerce?the blue-green of Mexico,
the black of California, and the gray
abalone common to the whole coast. Of
these the Mexican variety is the most
valuable. It is found clinging to the
cliffs, reefs, and submarine rocks throughout
the coast of Mexico from San Totnas,
close to the American line, as far south
as Acapulco. Hlue-grccn abaloncs are
gathered by mestizos - and brought to
Wilmington (San Pedro) by traders and
fisherman. The Mexican abalone approximates
in value the shells of Tahiti.
They are shipped to the same markets
and arc used in the same industries.
The black abalone of California is the
next most desirable of sea shells. To
some minds it is the richest and most
gorgeous of all the shells of the sea. It
is of a fine velvety black, and possesses
the same soft glimmering luster that
' f)i^> ii-mtlir>r-r?f.nr>nrl find
ujau..Bu.?.w ...v. ,
sometimes Is found variegated bylines
and bars, the most delicate imaginable,
the bars seeming to float in the mellow
prism of colors -brown, azure, .-alTron
and maroon shot by an indescribable
1 golden scarlet. This shell is used in the
} fame industries as the two before menI
tioned varieties, and is worth, wholesale,
$1,000 per ton. The common gray abalone
has a market value of $700 per ton.
It is used in bordering and varying inlaid
work, in the mounting of costly
lurniture and harness, and in the manufacture
of knife handles, shawl clasps
and brooches. It is also used by silversmiths
and upholsterers, and enters into
the makc-ni) of numberless articles of
use and ornament.
The shells are stored at San Diego,
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Santa Bari
bara, and arc shipped as the trade demands.
All shipments arc for Europe,
and mainly to France.
Though so little is known to the public,
the sea shell business of California
has already assumed large proportions.
Its annual value runs into the hundreds
of thousands. Forty tons of shells are
shipped every sixty days by the Los Angeles
firm, a three years' contract to that
effect having been made with a Paris
manufacturing company in 18S2.
Eclipses of tlic Sun.
The eclipses of the sun are caused by
the moon's passing between the earth
and the sun. If the two bodies fol'owed
the same track in the heavens there
wouicl Do an eclipse every new moon,
but as the orbits are inclined, the moon
generally passes above or below the sun,
and there is no eclipse. Occasionally
the sun is near one of the moon's nodes
?the poiuts were the planes of the orbits
intersect?when it passes, and then
an eclipse occurs. If the sun and the
moon were always at the same position
with regard to the earth, and always the
same distance from it, the eclipses would
always be of the same size. But as these
conditions vary, so do the appearances
of the cclipse. For instance, let us suppose
that at the time of an eclipse the
centre of the moon happens to pass direct
over the centre of the sun. If the
moon is near the point in the orbit
which is at the least distance from the ;
earth her apparent diameter will exceed ,
that of the sun, and the latter will be ]
quite hidden from view, and we have |
what is kuown as a total eclipse. Of
course, even in this case, the cclipse wiil ,
only appear total to the observers near ,
the line joining the centres of the sun \
and moon. If, however, the three bod- ,
ics occupy similar positions, but the distance
between the earth and moon is ]
greater, the whole of the sun is not cov- ]
ered by the moon, and the eclipse is s
annular. If the moon, however, docs ,
! not i>ass centrally over the sun, it can ,
I only hide a part of the latter on one side .
or the other, and the eclipse is said to be |
I partial. As the moon's orbit is ijuito el- ]
j liptical, the distance of that body from j
the earth varies greatly. Its least dis j
tancc is -21, OUU miles, its greatest 25'.i,000 ,
miles.?Inter- Oce?it.
A Lost Mine.
The Boston Journal has the following:
The legend of a lost mine has given to
Bald mountain, in Placer county, Colo- 1
rado, a fascinating interest for prospect- ors.
The tradition is that early in the *
."iOs three men disappeared from an immigrant
party coming over the old Gap '
trail. Search for them was without '
avail and they were reported dead. !1
Where or how they hibernated no one C
knows, but the following spring, ragged,
shoeless and totally demoralized, they
filed into Michigan Blutr. Their blankets 1
*- - - _ _ \
hud been converted into sacks, ami with '
tlicm they brought dust to the amount of
$10,000 or si.",.000. Spending but a
single night within the confines of civilization,
and giving no information as to '
the location of their large claim, they
were followed on their return trip, and 1
a few weeks later their murdered bodies !
were found in one of the dreary canyons
that scar the face of the desolate peak.
Since then many a man has sought this .
lost mine, but apparently its immunity
is as certain as that of the treasure of
Captain Kidd.
Although a variety of microscopic
forms of plants have been found on bank 0
notes and coins in circulation, none e
known to bo dangerous to human life j.
have yet been discovered.

A Cowboy's Life.
The life of the average cowboy is not
bo romantic as sometimes painted. They
work hard, have little variety of food
and 'cad a lonesome life. While at the
home ranch they have some of the comforts
of life. They have a chance to sleep
under a roof, generally on a blanket on
the lloor, and they can sit down to a
table while they eat their bread and
bacon and drink their black colTcc. And
durincr the evenings they spend their
time reading, writing to some fair maid
they have met at a ball at Uvalde or Del
Rio or telling stories and 3inging songs.
When they go oil cow hunting they take
a sack, put in it some Hour, baking pow
tier, a piece of fat bacon, some colleeaml
sugar and a little salt. This they throw
over the horse's back. They take a sffillet
and nang it to the saddle and hang a
coffcc-pot to the horse's neck. Their sixshooter
is in a belt around .their waist.
They ride oil fifteen or twenty miles from
nowhere.
The sun beginning1 to get low they
dismount, stake out the pony and
proceed to get supper. Gathering a few
sotol stocks a fire is started. Some water
is dipped up from the puddle where the
horses have been drinking and the cattle
wading about. The coffee pot is filled
and placed on the lire to boil. Bread ,
must be made. The cowboy has to have
hot bread three times a day. They cut
oil a few slices of bacon, put it in the !
skillet and fry it out. The meat is picked
out, leaving the hot crease, to which
they add a little water, put in Hour, i
some baking powder and a little salt. 1
This they stir up till it is doughy; then 1
they play with it a little while with their
hands. Finally it i3 put back in the ;
skillet, the cover put on and fire placed <
above, below and around. In a few 1
moments the bread is baked or fried.
Now the festive cowboy eats his supper ]
?coffee, meat and bread. The same for ,
breakfast and the same for dinner, varied
somewhat if he happens to kill a deer or an
antelope. Supper over, seeing that his pouy
is all right, he spreads his blanket on the (
ground, puts his saddlo under his head |
for a pillow, places his shooting irou
where it will be handy and goes to sleep. ,
This life he loads for two or three weeks, J
or til! his provisions run short, and he. 1
getting hungry und lonesome aud wish- '
ing to sec the boys, returns to the ranch j
for a day or two.
Cowboys are a brave and good-hearted
set. Their enemy is whisky and they
know it. Generally they arc quiet and
peaceable, but leading the free life they (
do, being under no restraint, it is not to (
be wondered at that when they go to ,
some border town full of bad whisky
arid important policemen they have a
collision with the authorities.?Huston

A Silvcr-Sliod Horse.
A Pittsburg correspondent of the
Philadelphia Keicx writes: "A visitor to
the Weslinghouse stables, in the East
End, sees among an array of handsome
blooded horses one of peculiar beauty of
color and carriage. Casual notice is
quickened into close inspection when it
is noticed that the horse never moves. .
He is dead. Though lifeless*, he is, per- '
haps, the only horse in America to day
which wears a full set of solid silver '
shoes. Mrs. George Wcstinghousc is '
the leader of East End fashionable life. 1
Her dresses arc the costliest, her receptions
the most brilliant, and her turnout '

said to have settled an income of tfloO,- i
000 a year in pin-money upon her. She 1
is a lady of artistic taste, and a year ago ^
she decided upon a team of cream-colored
horses, with flowing, snowy manes.
Such horses arc as rare as they arc
beautiful, but Mrs. We3tinghouse,
nothing daunted, set about to
procure them. Four agents were employed,
and for months the country was
scoured, and stables and stock farms
were ransacked to find -the silver-tipped
horses. At last the team was turned
over to their delighted mistress. They
cost but $3,000, but the expense of getting
them was enormous. Mrs. West- 1
inghousc, early in the use of lier new acquisition,
became concerned as to what 1
she would do if one of them should die. i
The agents who secured the lirst pair
were sent out to find a third. They <
were successful, and the three beauties <
were soon on friendly terms. The
strangest part ef the story is, perhaps,
that what Mrs. Wcstinghouse feared, the !
death of one of the original pair, occurred
but two weeks after the third had
been acquired. So much had Mrs. West- <
inghousc become attached to the horse
that she ordered him sent to New York
to a well known taxidermist to be stuiled. i
There lie was treated to silver shoes, and
given as near as possible a look of recognition,
so that when his mistress enters j
the stable none appears more glad to see
her than he. The horse is groomed,
blanketed, and attended as carefully as :
if alive. I lis bed is always made, and
his manger is always full of hay.
A Poultry Town. j
In the secluded town of Little Comp- j
ton, K. I., poultry raising is made a ]
specialty by the farmers. Not many arc
new iu the business, writes a correspojideut
of the Neio England Farmer, and
some have been engaged in it many years.
All arc farmers, but the tilling of the
soil is in the poultry interest. The <
largest poultry farm contaius two hun- 1
dred acres, of which fifty acres arc de- <
voted to the range of fowls and clucks. '
Fifty hens comprise a colony and occupy
a separate house. Here they arc fed '
and here they roost and lay. The uum- {
bcr of fowls on this farm is 17,000, and
is made up of Plymouth Hocks and Light :
Brahmas. One man attends to ail and <
has ample time. 1
The yield of eggs is about 1, GOO dozen i
a month, and they are sent to market
twice a week, to Boston, New York and J
Providence, as the demand comes. One
farmer receives all the eggs produced in j
the neighborhood, and sends to market, i
In the "busy season" 0,000 dozen a week <
is not unusual. The food in summer is ?
corn, wheat, barley and other grains; iu
winter cooked food, meal and vegeta- 1
bles, with beef scraps and ground bone. '
The cost per fowl is about $1 per year, <
and the profit on cach is also about $1.
Feathers find a ready market at eight
to twelve cents per pound. During
the year 1884 the price of eggs received
by the farmers averaged twenty-two and 1
a half cents per dozen. i
On the large farm the hen as an egg- c
hatcher has been discarded. Four arti- <
ficial incubators had produced before the (
1st of June 1,200 chicks. Artificial i
brooders are used also. Fifty to seventy- i
five per cent, of fertile eggs were j
batched. The unfavorable weather iu t
the early spring reduced the average I
lower than that of last year. A man who. i
understands can give all atteution neces- s
sary to an incubator in thirty minutes I
rlaily. Goslings and ducks are hatched I
by incubators, and the result is satisfac- j
tory. About fifty stock geese arc kept, i
from which arc raised annually five or n
six hundred green geese for market. The L
jeese are fattened it pens, and the noise i:
made by live hundred, all speaking at ii
Miec, has no music in it a mile away. i
The cottage of the superintendent, t
liowevcr, is near the goose-pens, but c
,ike the man who lived next door to a t
steam gong, he is not disturbed by the a
iproar. A professional goosc-plucker a

irmed with a leather thumb and a sharpjladed
knife. This may seem incredijlc
to the farmer who raises a few geese '

Rebuked.
A few years ago, as a stranger rose in
jnc of our city pulpits to begin the service,
several of the congregation began
:o leave the church, lie was a lame
nan, and the pulpit was near tnc uoors.
"Wait a moment, my friends," said
:he preacher, till ] get my hat, and I'll
50 with you."
Down lie came, limping, hat in hand",
md left the church. This abrupt closing
if the services taught the people that
:here was at least one minister who would
lot be treated with contempt.
On a certain occasion, the eloquent I)r.
E. II. Chapin, being sick, was compelled
to ask a friend to preach for him. As
:he stranger rose to announce the openug
hymn, a score of persons rose to go
)ut. This clergyman also was equal to
such an emergency.
"All," he said "who come here to
worship Dr. Chapin will please leave
low; but those who came to worship
jod will sing the forty-third hymn."
That stopped the exodus.

Your llrerf
In the cemio opera of "The Mikado" his
mperial highness says:
' To make to some extent, j?Each
evil Liver ,
A running river
Of harmloss merriment"
A nobler task than making ovil livers, rivsrs
of harmless merriment no person, king or
layman, could take upon himself. Tho liver
imong tho ancients was considered the source
jf all a man's evil impulses, and tho chances
ire ten to one to-day that if one's liver is in
in ugly condition OL uiscuuwni/, suucuud a
liead will bo mashed before night!
"How's your liver?" is equivalent to the inquiry:
Are you a bear or an angel to-day)
Nine-tenths of the "pure-cussedness," the
actions for divorce, the curtain lectures, the
family rows, not to speak of murders,
crimes and other calamities are prompted by
the irritating effect of the inactivity of the
liver upon the brain. Frothergill, tho great
specialist, says this and he knows. He also
knows that to prevent such catastrophies
nothing equals W arner's safo euro, renowned
throughout the world, as a maker of
"Each evil Liver.
A running river
Of harmless merriment"
Diseases of Canary Blids.
Outward sigus are absolutely necessary i
to judge of their disease, and when birds jj
ire ill they exhibit strong symptoms.
The lirst to mention is swelling of the
stomach, which attacks them at a month
ar six weeks old, in consequence of overfeeding
on soft food, such as salad and ;
chickwecd. The extremity of the body
bucomes swollen and of dark red color,
rcry hard, and full of small red veins.
For this ailment put a small piece of ,
alum in tho water and renew it every
day /or at least four days. This will be
tound very frequently to prove a complete
cure. Still another remedy i3 to
put a rusty nail into the water, which
latter should be changed twice a week,
leaving the nail in it. Boiled bread and
milk with canary seed also boiled in it,
is frequently a cure. Put this in the
cage for at least five mornings, and at 12
o'clock you may give the usual food.
Another remedy is to put the bird in luke- "
warm milk for six or eight minules, in ?
order that a portion of it may be nb- 0
sorbed by the pores, then put in warm j
spring water, after which wipe it with a 1
soft piece of muslin before the fire until 1
dry; then place the bird in a cage and
set tlia latter before the fire a short dis
tancc away, or, if you choose, in the hot
sun in the room. Afterward hang the
cage in its place, giving the bird lettuce
seed and letting him rest for the next
day, but repeating this the third, and if
necessary, three or four times, with the
interval of a day each time. The treatment
will afford relief if faithfully followed
out.?Good Housekeeping.
