MISS EUI.ALIESELM1 TRIKE. It wan a magnificent work of nature, Miss Eulaie's olm-tree; so tall and graceful, overhanging the street with its green banner, lending a charming shadd to her little parlor, which gave it the air of a dim, cool recess in the woods on a summer's day. Miss Eulalie loved it, and, except for her gay young ward, it, Would seem as if she had little else to love. Her grandfather had planted it; it was a sort of a heirloom. She had passed her youth beneath its boughs; her name was carved oz its stem. She had never looked at the tree without thinking of the one who had carved it there; of the still, moonlight nights they had spent together in its shadow. It gave her both pain and pleasure pleasure, because it reminded her that' he0 had loved her once, pain that hie had never returned to her; whiat had as tranged him was still as great 6, mystery it her as il those early days of .her be reavement, when sorrow and suspense had been her daily companions, rising up and sitting down with her. Perhaps sioie fairer woman had enslaved him, perhaps he had never really loved her at all, Pnd she experienced'a pang of mortified pride when she reflected that lie had possibly been vain enough to iake the mistake. Year by year she watched the tender green of the elm thicken into dark masses of leaves; year by year she had watched them fading and fading like her own hopes and illu sions; it wits a poem to her; and yet, after all, it was only Miss Eulalie's elm tree by permission. The home of her ancest(ors had fallen into other hands; she had only returned to it by a- happy chance, not as its owner. Mrs. Vaughn, tim purchaser, had a daug4ter to be educated, and Miss Eulalie had taken the situation. When Mrs. Vaughn died, she devised that Miss Eulalie shouad make a home with Isabel, be mother, sister and teacher, all in one, to that wayward young person, till she shoukhi marry-in short, stand in the gap. Miss Riulalie had been used to standing in gaps all her life; this was nothing new. And it was a home -her old home where she had dreamed dreams, When she had walked at t wilight beneath the old elm its leaves beemed to whisper, "Just here he kissed you first," and "Here you said good bye." No wonder she loved the old treel "Dangerous thing,' said Captain Valentine, tapping its trunk with, his tiane es he walked by; "hollow-hearteil sa jilt, Miss Eulalie." "You are mistaken," she r6plied; "it is as sound as a nut." "But - mist come down," ie added, as if his w ' were law. "Neve .,...iile Ilive, Capt. Valentine." "You forget that I am a man of pro. perty; that I pay more taxes than any oe in Little~ford; that Icant buy every tree in the place, and cut it down, ii I s choose." 'Then it is only fronm pure good-na tu'e that you beg my consent to cut donthais exquisite tree? Do6 you know, ihatve loved it from a ohildl ; my grand trmmy windows, Miss Eulahe, which is more to the p)oit--that its boughs leap into the air so high and spread' their branches so wide tnat it blots eut the sea, ".the open sea ;" and he passed on up the long green lawn to his new home,: with its marble steps and broad balconies, which made his humble neighbor seem forlorn and shabby. Miss Eulalie looked at the imposing structure, at the parterres of br'illiant, fiowers at thte fountain tossing its jets into the sunlight, the veltvet terraces and lawns, and smiled. Why had Captain Valentiho chosen to build his palace so 'near her home? Why had lie built at all, at this time of life, with no family to inherit, and no wife to do its honoraf How lonely he must be, she thought, in the spacious mansion, with nobody but the servants to speak withl Why had ho never married? In the humil ity of her heart Mias 'Eulalie never dreamed that it was because she wvould not marry him. 'That had happened so inany years ago, before lie and Anson Andrews had sailed together in the Water Witch. How angry heo had been thenl how jealous of Anson! How bit terly he had sworn that the aay should come wh6'a she ,wouk) give her heart's blood, to recall the ..worde-when she would regret her folly in dust and ashlest LBut of ceurse ho hiad forgotten all that -the ravings of an untamed nature. lie had been only second ynate then; wvith lit tle or nothing ahead mn the world; t -day he was Capt. Valentine, with that wvorid at his feet,; the riclhest man ml town, perhaps. "You might have been mistress up there Miss Euilalie." lie Ia<T4i'emindedl her one daty, pausing one day att h~r gateway alter tile house waus done. 'But you took your choice--you took your choice, aud"-laughitg-- "they tell us that beggars shonldn't be dhoos From the very first Captain Valentine hiad raised a hue and crg about Mis 1'Falalie's elm-tree; it almost seemed as if lie selected the site to tease her, as if he wtished to strip her of everything s'he loved, since she declined to lovo him. "I ha~ye bought the most' 'exipensive spot in town," he said, "and spared no mionley. In order that I might open my eyes every morning on my beloved sea, and you refuse to sacrifice a tree for an old friend and neighbor, a tree which will drop of its own ,wilA presentlj," "Captain Valentine," she said, "you have my word, once for all; the elm shall stand so long as I am mistress here. There need be no more words about it." ' No more words, but deeds," he answered, and a wicked, angry light flamed in his eyes, such as she had soee there once before. The man could hold fire like iron. But then the subject dropped, as she supposed. He did not mention the tree again. "He has given it up," she thought; "lie makes a great noise when he can't have his way, and then forgets about it." But Miss Eulalie did not do the COptaiu justice. One twilight, as she returned from a sick neighbor's, it gave her a curious shook to see her pretty ward, Isabel Vaughn, talking over the hedge which. sparated the grounds, to Captain Valentine, who wore a rose in his button hole. "See, Dear Miss Eulalie," she cried - "see what a basket of roses Captain Valentine has brought usi And might I go up to the Towers to-morrow rith Mrs, Van Duff to see CaptainValentine's Corot ?" Miss Eulalie could hardly refuse why should she ?-and Isabel returned in ecstacies with the medieval furniture, the Persian draperies, the wonderful CA*vd ivoriej the carpets like woodkm d moss, the Xriental rugs and skins of ant-enters and tawny lions. "It is just.heavenly," she said. "It makes home look squalid and mean. It makes me low-spirited to oome back. Why did you let me go, Miss . Eulalie? And the elm tree does-iterfeie with his view more or less; but what of that? He has everything else, He can gallop to the sea in half an hour. Such horses! I've always longed for a saddle-horge. Captain Valentine has promised to lend mue a safe one." And day after day he kept his word and brought his horses round for Miss Isabel to try, or left flowers and. fruits that fairly inundated the small house ; or perhaps he gathered the young peo ple together, and gave a fete under his tUces, with dancing on the broad veranda hung with festoons of Ohinese lanterns; and sometimes Mish Eulalie wf.,s obliged to chaperon Isabel, and sit, a faded wall-flower, in the house of her old suitor. "1 wonder why Captain Valentine never married?" said Isabel, after one of these fetes. "I wonder how. it seems to be so everlasting rich; to have no worry about money; to-" "Isabel," warned Miss Eulalie, "you care too much for money. There are better things." "Mention one please." "You will think I am a sentimental old woman, but love is better a thous andfold-" ' I don't know. Love is very nice, but if you must go without everything else, with out pretty gowns and jewels and splendor, give me money." "You are too young to choose. Pretty gowns, jewels, and splendor~lose their charm when you #re used to them, but. love outlaats everything." But Miss Eulahe's words were wasted. "I love money," Isabel confessed; "1 adore clothes. I don't know about love." In spite of all that had happened. Miss Eulalie was unprepared when Isabel said to he.r: "I've something to tell you. I dare say you know it al ready, though. I am going to marry Captain Valentine, and wear cashmeres and sapphires and go abroad, and never have to count my change again. . Con gratulate me." "You are joking," cried Miss .Bulalie, '-Then it's-the best oeke in the world!I It's no'joke 'to the oth r girls, let me tell you." '-You ve going to marry Captain Val entine? Lo you know that he is old enough-" "jo know better." "Do you love him, Isabel ?" "I like him well enough. I love his money," "Isabel, don't do it. You will sow to the wind and 'eap the whirlwind. I can't allow it ; the idea of your marry ing him! It is too preposterous, too mercenary. WVhy, he was once a lover of my own," pursued Miss Eulalie, for getting herself. "Why didn't you marry him, and save me the trouble ?" asked Isabel. "But perhaps he was poorW then?" "It was not that."* "What then? You loved somebody else?9" "I don't mind telling you now, Isabel. I had another lover-Anson Andrews. I've never gotten over It. There have been weeks and months when I've tried with all my soul to forget him to unlove him. He and Captain Valen tine nailed together in the Water Witeh, and when Capt. Valentine returned he brought me all the trinkets and letters 1 had sent Anson Andrews,- but never a word more." *"You dear old faithful thing! you shall dress in satin de Lyon and thread lace ; we shall live in the lap of luxury; and( I'll send wordl to Anson Andrews if ,la u at the farthest Thule. How oddly 4things. turn out! I"aney my marrying your cast-off lover!" "Isabel, I beg yen not to-.." ' "Not to marry Captain Valentine just because I'm not in love ? rerhaps I never shall be in love. You would nave me give u~p so much for more sentiment. You mustn't expect everybody to have as iense feehiigs as yourself, Icouldn't rememb'er a m@ fifteen fbde~ra if he were the Great Mogul himself." Captain Valentine and Isabel were martied in the little parlor of the old house, shaded by the old elm-tree, which made pretty claneing shadows on the wall. It was a most inlormai affair; and when it nas over' and the clergyman has poc)[eted his fee, and the bride was trying on her traveling hat, Miss Sulalie stepped into the gar den to draw a long breath. What were the workmen doing at tha' hour?. ;"Go into the house, Miss. Eulalie," said (Japtan Valentine. ';-I amw.goimg to oelebi'ate 'my wedding day. Tsabel has made me a wedding gift of the old elm-tree, and I'm goiog to out it down to burn on the hearth at the Towers, while we look out at the dreary sea." Miss Eulalie, when you thwart a Valen tine, you do it at your peril. Do you think I married Isabel for love? Re. venge is sweeter than love. When you refused to marry me. I swore I would make you repent in dust and ashes." Miss B ulalie turned silently toward the house, but paused to look back from the door-way. There was a crash, and when a strange blur had cleared away befoke her eyes, Oaptain Valentine lay dead beneath a great arm of the tree, which had snapped as it fell. "I feel so awfully wicked," said Isa. bel, some months later, awed and asham ed at finding herself in popession of the coveted wealth without the burdensome conditions. "l've been, looking over his papers with Mr. Billings, the execu tor, and we ferreted out this lotter, Its from Anson Andrews. I thought it explained something; at any rate y,>u might like to see it. It's dated Austra lia, a year ago." "DAn VAL." (Miss Eulalie read,) "Hero I am, leagues from home, but possessed with an unquenchable long ing, to hear from the old place, and a homesickness which no money can re lieve. Sometimes when I'm smoking in my bungalow, alone, I fancy I am home again under the old elm-tree with Eulalie, still young, with hope in my soul, and presently I awake from my day-dream and berate myself soundly for allowing theold wound to throb and ache. Believe me, old boy, in spite of the fifteea years behind us, my bald head, and her double-dealing, I cannot 1hink of her and all I've lost without a weight at my heart, as a happy witch when shipded in the Wator Witch. I'm free to confess I've never seen a happy moment since you confided to me that you were going to marry Entlalie. I remember how' blick you looked when I told you she belonged to -me, and how we then and there swore we would neither of us marry such a heartless jilt! How have you weathered it messmate? And what has happened to the lovers ? Has she befooled any more true lovers ? After all I believe that " "My heart would bear her and beat Hfad it lain for a ectaury dead." "Write me about her, and if the old elm-tree, where I kissed her first, is still standing. 'Our love is not dead, but the tree is alive.' No, love a dead; I cannot say it, it smoulders and torments me. - "Miss Eulalie," said Isabel, when Eulalie had folded the letter with tremb ing fingers, "there has been a great wrong done. Mr. Billings and I mean to right it. We mean to send word to Anson Andrews; we are going so tell him what an angel you are. We have talked it all over. And about thin mon ay-I coulda't make up my mind to touch a cent of it if I were starving. I shall found a hospital with it. Mr. Billings is to help me. We have talked it all over; I don't care for splendor any longer; I have found out, Miss E. aho, that love is best." Study Your Markets. The question of success or failure with most farmers depends upon their knowl 3dge of the markets. Many industrious and skillful farmers fail just at this point. They know how to cultivate Irops, but are poor salesmen, They keep in beaten track, and never vary the relative proporsion of meadow, past ure and tillago; seldom try a new crop of seed to improve their breeds of cattle, swine or poultry, The~y do not read much, and seem not to be aware that farmiing, like other pursuits, is in a transition state, and they must meet new demands or fail in business. Trhe change is so great from the age of homespun, whioh closed some fifty years ago, to the present time, that our youn ger readers oaii hardly appreeiate lb. Then almost every thins -cons'imed in a farmer's family was produeed on his own farm, or manufactured under his roof. Nearly all table supplhes, except sugar, molasses, tea andl coffee, were his own raising. The housewife spun and wove not only all her table and bed linen, but all the clothmng for her house hold, S3he made the cotton and to w w:cks and dipped them in tallow, for the lights in the dwve[ ing. TrgIveling shoemakers made annual supply of bdots and shoes. The trade which a farmer had with the outside worla was of a very hmnited character. All this is changed now. No cloth is made In the home' The spin ning-wheel and loom have lon~g since gohe into kindlhng wood and only the small linen wheel and distaff is pre served occasionally as a memento of thre thrifty habits of our grandmothers. The farmer has become a purchaser: buys all that he wears, buys.- much that he eats, and buya oftentimes his fuel and lights. To meet 6hese now demands, he las occasion to study the markets to find out what people want in exchange for the things he must purchase. E~spe cially doea he need to study the home markets. Tillers of the low priced lands of the south, by aid 6f cheap transp~or tation, are able to compote with him in wireat, corn and4 other grain, tso that he cannot afford to raise t~hem to sell, by the old method at last, though possibly he can for his own use. Hay, potatoes and some otbor articles are so bulky that he has little compeiition and can sell them at a piolit. With a knowledge of the markets, and the capacities of the soil, it is not a very dif~oult matter to ascertain what crops will pay, andl what will not. Those who do not study these conditions of success, and oannot tell what any gi venb crop costs, do not know whether it pa~ys or niot. We want this knowledge and must have it if wve are to succeed in business. We must give up some of the old crops as unsuited to present circumstances, and oultivate those for which we know there is a prof itable demand. Or an enterprising man oata of ten create a demand for a firstrate article, and thus have a specialty that will return him handsome profit and win him the reputation of being an on. terprissing man. He. will at the same time set s example too ther farmers that may benefit the agriculture of a whole neighborhood, or even of a .oannt. WhY DO Long Parished. "denator Jones, who is in Carson, gives an acooiant of De 'Long's Arctic expedition, which he got from Captain Nerbaum in San Franois4o. Norbaum is a Russian who has been for many years in the service of the Alaska Fur Company. He was the last man from whom the Do Long party received pro vision. He says; Do Lonu. loft my sta tion, at almost the northern point of Alaska, audI furnished him, at the order of the Alaska Fur Company, with sledges dogs and provisions. He took twenty seven dogs and one Indian,I account for the loss of the party .n the theory that they killed the dogs. 4o note lieve that Do Long know a.) wakingAI the undertaking he was grappling with and 'was ignorant of the mUins by whioh he could move in that regin. I see by his diary that there was but one dog left a few days prior to his death. He must havo killed the dogs without knowing their ,reat yalue, and when the dogs are gon i there is absolutely. no hope left. The dobs could not have 'died or been lost. They were killed. The scent of those animals is remarkable and they will detect provisions no muatter where they may be. When men' in these re gions kill Polar bears and have more meat than they can keep, they cache the meat, and It sometimes lies in the ice for years until discovered by dogs. The ice in full of theso places. If you meet an Indian in that region and kill his dog he lies down and dies, consideriug that the better part of him is gono. Another great oversight was the neg. lout to take the right kind of guns. I offered to Do L -g a fowling piece made expressly to use in the Arctic seas and calculated to stand the climate. He refused it becausa he waated a gun that would kill bears. I explained that he needed guns for birds and not bears. Ho would not listen to me, and took Remiugten rifles, the weight of which hampered him and were of no use. He must have seen sea fowl flying over his head all the time, but could not kill them. The diary says the Indiar, af ter drawing the sledge all day would gu out at night and get birds a2nd he kept the, party alive two weeks' Anywhere you out a hole through the ice and figsh a light down fish will swarm, but the par ty had no fishing tackle. All their chan ces woro tinuwn away fi~.braa Lew... ance. I an not saying a word against Do Long. I hked him personally, but he was not the man to command the Arctic expedition. Th3 north pole, in my estimation can be reached only by fol lowing up the warm current which flows to the pole, and beyond there is an open sea. Put men in auch an expedition who have been raised in the northern part of Alaska and who know all about the region and there is a st~iug chance of success." Lumber Region on the itussian t'ver. The mouth of the river, when we had gone near enough to have a good view of it from a headland, made a very noble pioture, The green hills, on the south, slope gradually to a well-turfed base, hiding the beach, but showing a long sand-spit runinmg out almost across the very entrance of the little bay, be hind which are calm shallows. The northern headland, on the other hand, stands in bold outline-a point of sheer ci-ff jutting between the ocean and the river. Yet the charge of those waves rolling from the spioy archipelagos of the groat South Soa, or from the bleak coast of Tartary, is met, not by this mole, but by an outer row of gigantic isolated rocks, overtopping the tide as the stones of Carnac rear their heads above the level plain, and the imagina tion can easily believe sonme giant of old, more powerful than the Druids, to have planted them there as a breakwater guarding the harbor. Around their base curls the angry foam of s wift-charg mng, impotent breakers, anid they glory in the snowy clouds of spray that envel op their flanks, for thus the rage of the mightiest of oceans is proved ineffectual, and the tamed waves sink behind them into sullen peace upon the weedy shore. Such was the broad landscape of the region where we cast our lot these plea ant June (lays, and watched the cutting of the big trees. Tradition rays that credit for the very first attempt to make lumber with a saw in this region (for the Russians hewed all their beams and planks) belongs to Johin Dawson, of ilodega. Dawson was one of three sailors who abandoned their ship at San Francisco as early as 1830, preferring the free and easy life of the Californians. In two or three years they became citizens under the AMoxican government, and took up granted ranches bereaway, Dawson marrying the daughter of a Spanish dragoon ofloor. She was only fourteen when she went to live as mistress of the Canada do Pogoloun.e, and only seven teen when she found herself the richest widow mn Northern California. Daw son's lumber was cut over pits by means of a rip-saw, which lie handled without help. Not half a century later steam mills in this district are turning out two hundried thousand feet of lumber daily. A Fine Dome. The Notre Dame University, at South Bioe, ind., is to have the finest dome in the country except that of tne Oapitol al Washington, It will be 200 feet high, and the statue surmounting it will be sIiummcated at night by an ellipse o1 electric jeta.,,. The material will be Iron and the eost is estimata at *25. 000) to $80,000. In Foreste of Stone. "I had a queer experience once," a gen tleman who had been examining the col. lection of trees and wood in the old arsenal building, Central Park, said, "and these hard woods remind me of it. I was pros pecting In Arizona with a party of friends, and we had rough luck. We had a young Irishman as cook that I had picked up in Omaha, who was worth more than any ten men I ever saw in keeping up the spirits of the crowd. The lower the pro. visions the iore jovial he was, 'nd i'm h&nged if he didn't seem to have the blues one day when-we shot a bear and were on the edge of starvation. One day when he had been out picking up wood for a fire he came to me and said: 'Deggin' yer pardon, Master Tom, but av It's all the same I'd loike to take the ha 'k track.' I What's the troubie?' I asked. 'It moight be that I be afraid av get tid' so fat I couldn't walk back, but it isn't,' catd he solemnly. 'But did ye ever hear tell .o' the shtory av Ara-bayan Nolghts? Sorrer the toohne I've heard Father Clineby relate it in the ould cou.4 thry. It's all about a counthry where the men, women and childer turned to stone. I always took it to be a joke, the results av too nuch larnin', but not a bit when we've struck the sohisame place. Ye laugh, is It? Cast yer eye on that,' and he held out a perfect limb of a tree of hard, solid rocic, while in the other baud he had a large petrified oyster. 'Why, that's petrified wood,' I ex. claimed. 'Yes,' rejoined Pat, 'ana we'll all be in the saine fix if we kape on. I'm for the baQk trail.' "it was a long tie before we could make him understind the situation. But It was a curious Fight. We had camped 1 on Une edge of a forest that had actually I turned to stone. Ai about were the great stumps that at first we had taken for t stones, but found, on closer exanilnation, to be trees turned into stone. Sonic were flat on the ground, others broaen into hundreds of pieces, while ill around were bones and ahells all turned to stone alsa. flow long they had been tnere no one knows." Stone forests are in many parts of the world. A number of stony trees have been recently received at the Smithsonian 0 Iinstiute from the West. In many cases I they are hardened by the pecuhar atnos- 1 phere as they stand, and in others they are buried, the parts being replaced by min eral matter. The Little Colorado River in Arizona has long ieen a famous locality for auch duds. At one place more than 1.503 cords of trunks and secions of logs were found by Government surveyors. blost of them were sihicified. Many are seven feel or more in diameter and from E twenty to seventy "eet in height. The greater part of them have probably been covered in the -marl that originally was i IO feet thiiok. iSome of the trees are t - bw% japiup, aSuunuxuK Hunerous hues, while others resemble opal, and, C when broken open, the core is often found g lined with cryatals of the most beautiful m tints. Louisiana and Ohio are noted local ities for fossil trees. In the former Stato several year3 agu, in turning tip theI ground, an ancient forest layer was un earthed, and in succession two others be low it; and scientists judge, from the state of the trees, that from the time of the first layer to the last fifty thousand years must have elapsed. In the rcuiiains of the gla elal dritt in Ohio old forests are often dis covered. Sonie have been buried beneath f the water by the sinking of the land. ( Some of the Ohio trees are not entirely i changed into stone, being yet soft, whi!e others are found in all stages from rock to porous sponge matter. In some parts of the island of Anti gua, one of the British leeward group, there are most remarkable examples of stone forests. The trees are in many in stances or great size, presenting a curious t sight with living birds perched upon theiri leafless and stony limbs. The fossil palms are the moat remark-i able of all these stony foms. They gen erally have a cylindrical stem, rising to a I great height, crowned with a canopy of foliage that stands upan the rock in high rollef. Some wonderful stone forests have been unearthed by the workers in the buildIng stone quarries of the Isle of Portlano, from which comes the famous building stone. The workmen had cut down to what they termed a dirt bed, and suddenly came to the stony forest standing upright. There were hundreds of trees a few feet ap~art. The tops appeared to have been wrenched off, but many were forty feet in height. On somie of the limbs were the delicate atoms, and here and there leaves and twigs. In Van Dioiman's Land simi lar forerats are known, the great trusks be. calcified and partly sikielfled, while others1 are changed into chalcedony. They were found in moat eases erect, with the bran ches and limbs scattered about their roots. So natural were many of these that a newly arrived laborer sent out to col'.ect wood brought in a load, complaining of its heaviness. They are used, however, be ing burned for lime. Prof. M. W. Hfamrng ton refers to two kinds- or changes on the moon's surtace which msy be regarded as fairly establish ed. The first is the landslide, which is donbtlea caused by the great alterations of temperature to which the moon is sub ject. Many of these slides may be easily recognized with good telescopes. The second form of change is illustrated by craters which have been proven to be dIffer ent in sise and shape f rom what, they were recorded by earlier observers. Many oth er changes have been suspected, but they are of a more uncertain and doubtful char acter. One of our best and most cautious ecu entiflijournals, basing its opinion mainly on the report of the American Consul at La Rochelle regarding the use made in France of German alcohol taken from po tatoes, which is doctored to resemble bran dy in color and flavor, says that "it is at least worth the physicians while to know that there is no such thing as pure Cognac now."

FOOD FOR THOUGH'I. Lie not for any consideration. The love of display which results in vulgar ostentation, is the result of sel fitshness. No joy is ever given freely forth that ioes not have quick echo in the giver's own heart. The surest way to make ourselves 1greeable to others is by seeming to 'hink them so. Nature goes on her own way; all that ,o us seems an exception, is really ac >ording to order. Always be as witty as you can with Four parting bow-your last speech is the one remembered. The trouble and worry and wear and tear. that comes trom hating people nakes uating unprofitable. In the calendar of happiness, time is cokoned in minutes; in that of unhap. >inoss, it is reckoned in <tays. We judge ourselves by what we fool iapable of doing, while others judge us >y what we have already done. - If you can count the sunny an(( cloudy lays of the whole your, you will find hat the sunshine predominates.
