The gardens rich with roses, and the mea dows and tho plain* ind all thu greening pastures just a-tinklo with tho raius ! i The Despisec < - 4 5T0RY OF GR/5 * -- LBY CATHER] From my youth I took naturally to the science of mathematics. Even as a little child I "did my sunn" without any conscions effort. Indcod, it was my well-known "knack at liggerin' " ?j that induced Deacon Dudley, the su pervisor, to bestow upon mo the much coveted Cenfre school. It was the largest in town, the hardest and the best paid. I was only 18 at the time, but family misfortunes, followed hy the sickness and death of my father, made the necessity- for employment argent and imperative. Heavily handicapped by youth and inexperience, ray first term was a suc cession of disappointments and dis illusions. Gradually, as I bocame acquainted with my pupils and accustomed to my duties, 1 acquired the faculty of ad justing myself to my surroundings, after whioh my work became much easier an<?. more satisfactory. Term after term passed, until I felt my po sition to be assn red. For six years I held it, ciphering annnally through the higher algebra, to the wonder of my pupils and the satisfaction of their parents. Being a district school, there ' could be no real graduation, but grad ually the day had taken upon itself the dignity and importance of an an nual celebration. At first I had beeu one of its most enthusiastic supporters,bolioving that its coveted successes would not only stimulate ambition aud reward indus try, but would also tend toward the establishment of a much-needed froo high school. Yet I now realized, with pain, that it bade fair to bo a culmina tion of jealousy, unkind emulation aud unnecessary extravagance. The leader in every extravagant do vice was, naturally enough, Muriel Mason, only daughter of the riche* L man in towu. Born to command, sho held her own against all opposition, until the subject of dross was broached. In her case the important gown was to ba a dainty creation of white lace and surah, therefore she decreed that her classmates should likewise drape themselves in white. : "That Is hot fair," protested Laura Haley, who delighted m gay fabrics and vivid coloring. **I am sure I don't want to accentuate my natural ugliness." "It wou't make any difference on the stage,'* said Muriol, with careless unkind ness. After this experimental tilt, as no further opposition was hazarded, the white-dress rule .was supposed to bo imperative. That evening Dolly Kempton came to me, hor pretty face clouded, her young arms loaded. Poor Dolly; I divined her trouble before she voiced it She was a deli cate little creature, studious and re fined, yet not oxactly popular among her mates. Sho was poor,undisguised ly aud undeniably so. She lived with her widowed mother aud an aged woman known as Amit Marty, a queer, irresponsible old body, who with the slightest possible claim had burdened th?m for years. With pauperism staring her iu the face she had tied for shelter to Mrs. Kempton, who was her self in straitened circumstances. The connection between them was of the slightest, and entailed neither legal nor moral obligation; yet sho cared for the poor soul kindly, so stretched her meagre income that it covered tho bare necessities of life for tho three-her self, her daughter and their perennial guest Knowing the circumstances, I could well understand what a perplexing question graduating expenses must be iu that pinched household; but I was hardly prepared for the solution which ?Dolly's big bundle contained. Sho .opened it, spreadiug bo fore my aston ished eyes a garmeat quaintly beauti ful in tint and texture, but grotesque in figure and design. An ancient dress of white silk tissue, gayly bro caded with hugo garlands of pink roses and green leaves. The fabric it self was exquisitely fine and delicate, the groundwork time-yellowed iuto the softest ivory tint; but, alas, the passing years had wrought no such re fining change upon the overblown roses and overgrown leaves running riotously over the scant skirt and low bodice of this impossible gown. . "Dear Miss Deacon," said Dolly, with a little nervous laugh that had in it a hint of tears, "do yon think any circumstance or combination of circumstances could make it one's duty to w??; that for a graduating dress?" I looked at her in astonishment "Mother waut3 mo to wear it," sho -went on, "and indoed I want to, after a fashion; yet all tho same my soul ab hors those aucieut roses. You see, it was Aunt Marty's wedding gown, and in her eyes as tine and valuable as ever. Through all thc shirts and changes of her most unhappy life she bas clung to this solo relic of happier days. I fancy thnt after her husband's death his people made much of her for a time. Her father was wealthy, and there was always the chunco of his relenting; but as one by ouo her overtures were ignored and her let ters returned uuopenod this possibil ity grew less and loss, until, nf ter the family moved east, it ceased altogether. She was nover strong or smart or ca pable, and little by little everyone's patience gave way, until oven our home, with its many privations, seemed a very haven of rest to her. This af ternoon Mrs. Mason cnlled and talkod of nothing but 'the necessary expenses of tho coming occasion. ' She left poor auntie nearly frantic aud absolutely determined to throw herself upon the town. She bas felt it hor duty ever ?tinco she became so helpless with rheumatism.

Poor old soul, she would have a hard time with that rough womau in that great barn full of paupers. We have made ourselves out perfect Vanderbilts to keep her quiet; but today she would not be pacified, and after nearly crying her self sick wrote to the selectmen. Be fore she sent the letter, however, she thought of this dress. The idea of it came as a sort of reprieve. If she provided my graduating dress she might veuture to stay a little longer. If not, she is going at once. You see why I would like to wear the dress, and besides a few dollars saved is really an object with us; still, those dreadful roses-do you think I ever, ever caa?" The roses were dreadful. I almost doubted Mrs. Kempton's skill in their behalf, aud I pitied the ghi,shrinking with all her heart from a mortifying ordeal, but I knew there was only one answer to her question. "Yes, my dear," said I, "I think you can and wilL It takes a deal ot pluck to have a tooth out, you know, but the sharp, relieving pain is far easier to bear thau weeks of dull, wear ing anguish. It is going to take real grit to wear that flowered dress, but the discomfort of au hour is not to be compared to the remorse of a life time." "Jnst what mother told me," said Dolly, bundliug up her unwelcomo possession. I did not see the dress again, bnt I heard a deal aboutit before tho impor tant day arrived. I wanted to explain matters, but Dolly positively forbade auything of the kind, aud so hor flow ered gown was regarded by some as a necessary concession to poverty, by others as a sigu of open insubordina tion agaiust the white-dress rule. Graduation day dawned bright and clear. The church was crowded. The expected governor arrived in excellent season, bringing with Lam a visiting senator, and everything seemed har monious with the exception ol one rosy-looking dress among a half-do/en white ones. The exercises passed off with what might be termed "great eelat." The young ladies were graceful and win ning, their parts well prepared, their euunciation clear and distinct The young gentlemen were less awk ward than usual under such circum stances. The pink dress was so mod ernized that it could not be catted con spicuous; still I saw the consciousness of its vivid roses stamped on the flushed cheeks of its wearer when she stepped forward to read her essay. It was a very unambitious effort, simply a prose version of the story of Evangeline. Yet I saw with surprise that Senator Borden, a scholar as well as politician, gave the short read ing the most profound and murked at tention. After the exercises thcomiuout visi tors held au iuformal receptiou, shak ing hands with everyone, and good naturedly giving their autographs to di petitioners. Dolly, however, took uo part in this bit of impromptu fes tivity, but, anxious to divest herself of her obnoxious iinery, hurried at once from tho church. When Ihe crowd had nearly dis persed Senator Borden surprised me by asking, with an expression of real interest, lor the young lady in pink. I told him her name and volunteered the information that she had gone di rectly home. "I nm sorry, " said ho. "I wanted to meet hor. Her face, hor voice, her gestures,all seemed wonderfully fami liar. I cannot place thc resemblance, but it moved me strangely. Her name tells me noth'ng, and yet her face, her dress, som?, trick of voice or manner, took me back liRlf a century. Ah!" with a sudden start. "I have it now; it was my sister she recalled. She wore just BUCII a rosy gown the last time I ever saw her. Poor Marty! Pardon me, Miss Deacon, but do you know anything of her family history? The resemblance may be purely acci dental, but it interests me. " Something of his interest had com municated itself to me with his volun tary exclamation of "Poor Marty!" the girl who wore just such a rosy gown the last time he ever saw her. "Mr. Borden," said I, eagerly, "might it not have been the notice able dress, instead of the girl's per sonality, that impressed you? Foi ty yea' 1 ago it belonged to Martha Paget; was, m fact, her wedding gown. " "Martha Paget!" cried he, "that was my sister's name. She was older than I, and very beautiful, but she disobeyed my father. He never for gave her, and M-hile he lived I never beard her name mentioned. Since his death I have searched for her long and unavailingly." "I think your search is ended," said I, "and that you will find her living with Mrs. Kempton in this vil lage." "Is it far from here? Would you show mo the way?" questioned he, eagerly; and the next moment we were hurrying down the broad elm-shaded street. As we neared the Kempton cottage ? saw Mrs. Paget sitting on the tiny, vine-wreathed piazza. Her soft, whit? hair shone in the sunlight; her pain distorted hands lay idly on her lap; her cotton gown and stittly-starchod apron were clean and speckless; but hor face, sorrow-sesmed and time-do faced, bore no trace of bloom or beauty. "Aud yet," said my companion, seeming to divine my thoughts, "it is Marty herself; the very imoge of our mother np I saw her lash'' He went Bwiftly np the little graveled path, his face growing visibly paler as he walked. Just in front of her he stopped, and for a moment's spa^e no word pnsscd between them. Then tho woman arose, her worn face working, hor faded eyes brightening, her hands ap pealingly exteuded. "father," she criod, "father, for give me!" ' "Father died years ago," answered Senator Borden, gently, "and ever since I have been searching for yon, my sister!" "Bennie! Bennie!" she screamed, flinging herself toward him. Tho scene that followed was too f acred for stranger eyes to look upon, and so I quietly withdrew, guiug hack to my delayed duties. That afternoon I was "a personage" in the village. Over and over again I told the story.fairly revelling in tho first bit of romance that hnd ever stirred the monotony of my quiet life. Of course there were a few ill natured souls who declared that Mrs. Kempton had known nil along which side her bread was buttered on, but as this idea seemed to be confined ex clusively to those who had beforetimos pronounced her quixotic and improvi dent, and it did not greasy affect pub lie sentiment. Senator Bordon made immediate arrangements to remove his sister to his own home. But she, poor soul, in abject fear of her august sister-in-law, clung to the dear second cousin Avho had so brightened the years of hor ad versity. A compromiso was at last effected, Mrs. Kempton selling her little homo and removing to Anderson, where Mr. Borden lived, and where tho famous Anderson seminary was located. To attend this school had long beon Dolly's highest ambition-au ambition which a grateful brother's liberality made it perfectly possible to gratify. In a few days the little ripple of ex citement that attended their departure died away, leaving in its placo only a memory. I missed Dolly sadly, fooling sure that the duties aud pleasures of her new life would soon blot out all inter est iu her older and less favored friends. I realized my mistake when, weeks afterward, I received a letter from her which wrought in my lifo a de lightful chanr . "One of i.... teachers," sho wrote, "has resigned, and Senator Bordon has secured tho position for yon. Ho knows how you helped and encour aged mo through the piuk-dress or deal,, and he is very glad of this op portunity to show his appreciation of your good sense and kindness. " A day or two later this delightful news was officially confirmed, and I at once set about my modest preparations for departure. Just before I left I called upon old Deacon Dudley and found him not only sympathetic but fairly jubilant over my improved pros pects. "I gave you your first chance," said ho, "and 1 presume to say I helped you to your second one. I talked quite a spell with the senator when he was here, and I gave yon a first-class 'recommend.' 'She is young,' said I, 'and no great things to look nt, but she is a master hand at figgcrin'.' " I thanked the old gentleman for his doubtful complimeut with becoming gratitude. Not for tho world would 1 havo pained his kindly heart by the knowledge that anything so frivolous as a pink frock had far moro to do with my good fortuno thau his uuiijuo and well-meant "recommoud."-Chi cago Becord.

Its ?arax lina GQOOOOQGOOOOOOOOQOOOOOC Death Valley ls probably the Ij^pt unique natural feature In Callfoi It ls located lu the southeast corne Incyo County, and ls Inclosed by Panamlnt Mountains on the west i the Funeral Range on the east.

MOUNTAINS ENCLOS] This remarkable valley was discov ered in 1830 by a party of immigrants, J many of whom lost their lives in the attempt to cross lt. Thc name has clung lo it, also, as being tile scene of numberless tragedies. Early in its history traditions of gold and silver deposits of wonderful richness within its boundaries persuaded many adven turous persons to undertake the haz ardous experiment of its exploration. The number who have lost their lives in this desolate field is undoubtedly great. Pursuiug the mirage of rich de- . posits of precious metals these adven turous prospectors succumbed at last to the intolerable heat and the agonies of thirst Thc range of the thermometer is probably greater iu Death Valley than elsewhere in the Western Hemis?ISere! ; lu "v. inter the temperature is way be low zero, while in July and August thc thermometer ranges for weeks at 137 degrees above, frequently rising several degrees higher. For weeks at a time the lowest level temperature ob 5TAfEB COOLES USED IN DEATH VALLEY. served exceeded 100 degrees. Thc deadly heat burns every vestige of vegetation. Thc Spanish bayonet, a plant that flourishes under the most arid conditions, herc barely survives, while the mesquite, with its long roots penetrating deep into the earth in search of scanty moisture, just man ages to exist. A party of enterprising agricultur ists once experimented with growing fruit and vegetables in this region, an ticipating large profits in the carly marketing of their crops. The attempt was a complete failure, the Intent heat withering the plants, notwith standing copious supplies of water and the most skillful cultivation. lu the higher altitudes of thc Pannmints there are numerous valleys with flow ing streams In these fruits are culti vated, aud reach thc market two 15 O ll ATE MINES Itf months before the California products mature. The irrevailiug winds iu Death Val ley uro from tho west. Though origin ating lu thc Pacific Ocean and satu rated with J umidityiu traveling the in-, renn .?di?te distance, they arc inter ceptai by thc lofty peaks of four raugec of mountains, which absorb all . of their ?moistui'c, so thnt by the time they reach thc valley all humidity has disappeared, and no living thing can survive the intense heat. Even birds, indigenous to the regiou, die. It is in the months of greatest heat that the sand storms of Deatli Valley are most deadly. Then rage with in tense fury, oblitera ting the landscape and dimming thc light of thc sun, withering the scanty vegetation ?rftl covering the trails deep in powdered dust. At all times the aspect of the valley ls superlatively desolate. No spot on earth surpusses it in aridity or tophet-likc heat. During the heated term an hour without water means death. Meat be comes putrid in nu hour. Eggs are cooked in the blistering sand. Water is only palatable by meats of large po rous earthenware jars, common to all hot countries, suspended in drafts and reduced in temperature by means of the rapid evaporation of the moisture from the outside. [NO DEATH VALLEY. The belief that the boras marshes are the remains of the vast lake which once filled the valley is supported by traces of water-line found GOO feet above, on the mountain sides. In general appearance all borax marshes arc alike. They are located SPANISH BAYONET PLANT, DEATH VALLEY at the point of greatest depression and from a distance look like deposits of salt or snow. Under thc surface is common wet clay or water of varying depths. These deposits are generally circular in form and appear as though once they were erat .TS. Dorax was created by contact of boraclc acid in gaseous form, with the lime and soda of the surface. At Teels Marsh, Ne vada, borate of lime appears lu the form of balls Imbedded in clay along with soda, salt, c*".. but at Columbus these are found in sandy soil. Some times these halls arc . ecomposed, un derlying thc soil which ls removed, and the borate shoveled out. Deposits of crude borate of soda arc found in Nevada and in Death Valley, at thc Monte Blanco mines. These mines are THE CBYSTALLIZED BORAX ON THE BODS. located in a region the most forbid ding, remote from thc railroad and of fering almost unsurmountable difficul ties lu the reduction and marketing of their product, but their richness and extent, compared to all other fields, soon caused them to bc regarded as the principal source of supply for the future production of borax in the Uni ted States. The works employ from 400 to 1G00. men. The crude borate of lime is first passed through rock breakers and is DEATH VALLEY. then ground to the fineness of flour by means of rolls and burr stones. It is . then, with a small proportion of car- , bonutc of soda, thrown luto a digester, where under heat, pressure and agita- ] tion thc existing affinities arc com- | plftely divorced. The carbonic acid \ unites with .the lime, which yields bo- j racic acid, the latter with a small por- < tloii of soda ??d the result ls borax lu solution. Tbe liquor is then drawn off Into tanks, where the borax in crystal lizing attaches itself to small steel rods and hooks altogether like great sticks of fock candy. Thc sediment contained in the mixing tanks is com posed largely of sand and dirt with considerable borax mixed. The de posit Is ptesed through a filter press, which preoses the dirt aud allows thc" borax liquor to pass away to be util ized again. Repeated over and over again, thc last remnant of borax is finally secured by this process. MACHINE FOR HANDLINC ECCS. Interest i np Device For Pa cl; I nc Thc in In Crates.
