ANOTHER CALIFORNIA CURIosITY-BoRAx LAKE
The largest borax lake, nearly two miles in ex-
tent, is situated about half mile north of the
north shore of Clear Lake, and about five miles
from its foot, in Congressional township IL N. and
range W. of the Mt. Diablo meridian, and N. IS
deg, W. 81 miles distant from Napa CITY, Caifor-
MA The water in this lake is so strongly saturat
ed or impregnated with borax, that it cannot be
held in solution, and is, consequently deposited in
crystalized particles, from very small to half a
pound in weight in the mud below From this
lake, one and quarter miles north, over a high
ridge, is the noted sulphur bank, from twenty to
thirty acres in extent, and supposed to be thirty
feet thick, sufficiently pure, it is said for the use of
the mint at San Francisco. The sulphur appears
to be constantly forming from dam, steam con-
tinually rising over the whole surface. Eighty
rods west from the sulphur. hot spring arises in
the edge of an arm of Clear Lake; this spring is
strongly impregnated with boracic acid. Five or
six miles west of this, the south of Clear Lake,
is another borax lake.
HARDNESS OF ALLoYS.--Professors Calvert and
johnson, of England, in experimenting upon vari-
Gus alloys, find that copper 1892 parts, and zinc
5O6s parts, has hardness nearly equal to an alloy
containing 80 per cent of copper, that it is as rich
In color, and they give it their opinion that it is
not mere alloy but definite chemical compound
They recommend it for bearings as being equal to
the best brass, AND considerably cheaper

The EYES OF THE BLIND ARE OPENED.
How often do we see and hear of in-
stances where persons, whose eyesight had
formerly been good, have suddenly been
derived of this greatest of earthly bless
ings, and remain so, ignorant of the cause.
and their medical advisers perhaps not bet
informed than their patient. Now, in a
majority of cases where the loss of sight
is so sudden, it arises from some humor
that has settled in the eyes. Kennedy's
Medical Discovery has often been applied
in cases of this description. and has always
performed permanent and efectual cure.
A daughter of Mr.. Charles Gray, of Fitch
burgh, after an attack cf the measles, was
left perfectly blind; one bottle cured her
entirely. We recommend this article to
all who have a particle of humor about
them.

Sweet coz, I'm happy when can,
I'm merry while / may
For Life's at most narrow span,
At best winters day.
If care could make the sunbeams wear
A brighter, warmer hue,
The evening stars shine out more fair,
The blue sky look more blue
Then should be a graver man;
But since 'tis not the way,
Sweet coz, I'm happy when l can,
And merry while may.
If sighs could make us sin the less
Perchance l were Rot glad
Ii mourning were the sage's dress.
My garb would thea be SD;
But since the angels wings are white.
And cen the young saints smile
Since virtue wears brow of light,
And vice robe Of guile
Since laughter is not under ban,
Nor glsdness clad in gray
Sweet coz. I'm happy when can,
And merry while l may.
I've seen bithop dance reel,
And sinner fast and pray
A knaw at top Of fortunes wheel,
And a good man east away.
Wine l have seen your grave ones quaa,
Might set our feet afoat;
But never heard a hearty laugh
From ont villains throat;
And never knew nirthful man
Make sad young maids day
So. coz, I'm happy when I can,
And merry while l may.

rather late hour when the bar-keepel

KEEPING Horses FEET AND LEGS IN
ORDER.-If were asked to account for my
horses legs and feet being in better order
than those of my neighbors, | should attri.
butte it to the four following circumstances
"First, that they are all shod with few mails,
so placed in the shoe as to permit the foot
10 expand every time they move secondly,
that they all live in boxes, instead Of stalls,
and can move whenever they please; third
ly, have two hours daily walking exercise
when they are not at work; and, fourth
ly, that have not head-stall or rack-chain
in my stable. These four circumstances
comprehend the whole mystery Of keep
ing horses legs fine, and their feet in sound
working condition up to a good age"

Personal INrEREsT.-A nobleman in
the middle of the last century, resident
near Edinburgh, was man of weak intel
lect, though be sometimes said clever
thing. He was, at one time, detained in
the Canongate gaol, as men are now kept
in lunatic asylums, that he might be out
of harms way. Some English officers Wis
iting the prison, asked him, with some sur
prise, how be got there. "Much as you
got into the army" said the Earl; ''less
by my own deserts than by the interest Of
my friends" Conolly's Sketch Book Q,

H"As for Mr.. Blondon's great feet, ;"
said Mrs. Partington, as Ike read for her ed
i6cation an account of his carrying man
across Niagara River, ''it, is very fortunate
thing for the poor man that he has great
feet; for what could he have done if his
feet had been as small the women's feet in
China, where they use 'em as drumsticks
instead of walking on 'em like Christian
people. sBut," continued the dame, smil-
ing as the conceit crossed her mind, 81 see
one disadvantage in it, for if be should sud-
denly drop off, who would step in his
house?"
