A Mud Volcano.

While returning by u new route to our
camp, dull, laundering sounds, which
General Washburn likened to frequent
discharges of distant mortar, broke up
on cur ears. We followed their direction,
and found them to proceed from mud
volcano, which occupied the slope of n
small hill, embowered in grove of pines.
Dense volumes Of steam shot into the air
with each report, through crater thirty
feet in diameter. The reports, though
irregular, occurred as often as every five
seconds, and could be distinctly heard
half mile. Each alternate report shook
the ground distance of two hundred
yards or more, and the massive Jets of
vapor which accompanied them, burst
forth like the smoke of burning gunpow-
der. 1t was impossible to stand on the
edge of that side Of the crater opposite
the wind, and one of our party, Mr..
Hedges, was rewarded for his temerity
in venturIng too near the rim, by being
thrown by the force of the volume of
steam violently down the outer side of
the crater BY hasty views, afiorde 4 by
occasional gusts OF wind, we could see
at depth of sixty feet the regurgitahug
contents. .-From ScriJner's foI May.

Young New York In the Vatican.
The New York correspondent of the
L 1 A. A 4

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Jow"oi tells this story
One of our most eminent brokers has
Il portion of his family travelling in Eu-
rope. Among them is young son, who
is preparing by travel to join his broth
ers in the business of the street. In
company with some friends he made one
of the party who were to have an audi
ence with the Pope. As is well known,
these audiences are held in the Library
of the Vatican. The visitors who are to
have the honor of an interview are
ranged on either side, single file. The
Pope passes down the line. As he passes
slowly along devout Catholics kneel and
kiss the slipper Qunsi Catholics kneel
and kiss the ha. j If His Holiness.
Others stand and salute the hand which
is extended to all The young New
Yorker was the last on the line. He did
not kneel TO kiss the shoe, nor did he
kiss the outstretched hand, but seized
it, and gave it n good, hearty Yankee
shake. The CONSERVATION at the audaci-
ty of the young man was very fThrked,
The Pope, who was evidently taken by
surprise, was the first to recover himself.
He shook bis finger rouguishly at the
youth, laid his hand on his shoulder and
said You are from New York, young
man, ] presume - am a New
Yorker was the reply. Thought so, )"
said the Pontiii, as he passed on, intima-
ting that New Yorker was quite daring
enough for anything. When questioned
how he dared do such q thing, Young
America replied ; Dare do it ! shook
hands with Gen. Grant and Gen. Scott,
and why should not shake hands with
the Pope as with any other eminent
man ?" The affair is quite the talk of
the street, where the young man is well
known. 1t will make him quite as
famous as the act of Raleigh when he
flung his cloak in the mud before Queen

Wine at Two Millions a Bottle.

Wine at two millions of dollars bottle
is drink that in expense would rival
the luxurious taste of harbaric splepdor.
when costly pearls were thrown into the
wine cup to give Il rich flavor to its con-
tents. The French C00'ier speaks of a
wine which graced the table of the King
of Wurtemberg on late occasion, which
was deposited in the cellar at Bremen
two centuries and half ago. One large
case of the wine, containing five or oXhoft
of 204 bottles, cost 500 rix dollars in
1925. Including the expense of keeping
up the cellar, and of the contributions,
interests of the amounts, and interests
upon interests, an oxhoft costs Mt the
present time 555, ,657, $40 rix dollars, and
consequently bottle is worth 2, 723, SO
rix dollars glass, or the eighth part of
bottle is worth 340,4 ,475 riX dollars,
1912, $50 or at the rate of 540rix dollars,
or S272 per drop. A burgomaster of
Bremen is privileged to have one bottle
whenever he entertalns a distinguished
guest who enjoys German or European
The fact illustrates the ope-
ration of interest, if it does not show the
cost of luxury.

Lunar Influence on Vegetation.

According to North Carolina cores
pondent. the influence of the moon on
vegetation may he determined by trying
the following experiment
Take any given quantity of common
peas, and divide the same into four
parts, keeping them separate. Then, on
any ground at all fit for vegetation, when
the season approaches, SOW the contents
of the first parcel on the first or second
day of the new moon the second parcel
SOW near the same spot on the first or
second day of the second quarter; the
third parcel SOW on the second or third
day before the full moon; and lastly
SOW the fourth parcel on the second or
third day before the moon Is ont. Now
the first parcel, sown under the new
moon. will grow very fast, blossom most
beautifully, but will not bear much fruit;
the second will blossom and bear very
little the third parcel will not only bios
som beautifully, but will bear fruit in
; and the fourth and last par
eel will scarcely rise from the ground.
Likewise all fruit trees set at the new
moon blossom, but three days before the
full moon, bear abundantly. In pruning
trees, the same effect takes place, for
tree pruned at the new moon will shoot
forth branches, but will prove unproduc-
tive. but if pruned at the full, it will
bear abundantly.

An IDEA. Professor De Morgan, the
great metaphysician and mathematician,
lately dead, preferred during his lifetime
to be accounted skeptic falsely and lose
by it, rather than to be known asa Chris
tian and gain by it. But passage in his
will reads thus Il commit my future
destiny with hope derived from expert
ence, to Almighty God, who has been
and will be, my guide and my support !;
to God. the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, of whom believe in my heart
that God has raised him from the dead,
and whom have not confessed with my
mouth in the sense usually attached to
these words, because such confession
has been in my time the only way up in
the world"

WORTH OF IMMIGRANTS. Every immi

WORTH OF Immigrants. Every immi-
grant to this country from Europe is
worth $500 on an average, according to
Mr.. Edward Young, chief of the So
called Bureau of Statistics at Washing
ton. This is little lower than the esti-
mate hitherto usually made some author
tiles placing the figures at $1,000, and
some at 81, ,125. Mr.. Ioung's compute
ton is based upon the assumption that
the wages of laborers and unskilled per-
sons throughout the country averages
S400 year, and that each man repre-
sents family of four persons. The cost
of maintaining this family is S240, leav-
ing S160, or $40 for .eS7la member, as
the amount of its net anf.ual earnings.
At five per cent this sum represents a
capital of about $500, the amount above
mentioned. The money brought by the
immigrants is but S6S per head, nearly
all of which has to be paid out for trav-
cling expenses to the interior

SHEEP TENpING.-ln early spring
nights of March yon may find many a
shepherd in farmstead, cottage or lonely
shieling among the mountains, on the
watch to tend the ewes and little totter-
ing lambs the latter just born into a
bleak world Were he not to tend them
he would lose many thus preserved. We
cannot but think that this office of shep
herd must tend to make man generally
kinder to all living things. There comes
much satisfaction also, from relieving
the helpless it is an honorable office
and most ancient. A shepherd grows to
know his sheep individually, much as
we distinguish the features If a friend,
and in the darkness can find his way to
an eve recognized by her cry, who like
wise knows his voice, and that it is
friendly. While on the watch at night,
waiting on his flock, the shepherd has
many chances of observing the signs of
the night its sounds and faint lights
and changing aspects of darkness and of
dawn. .-OnMe Night 1o,rer.

The Work of u Lifetime.

\ New York paper in its Sunday gossip
undertakes to show what man consumes
in lifetime, in the way of food. 1t
says : If man was placed on top of
the edibles he had devoured during his
life what an appetizing sort of island he
would have to survey. At low stratum
of the geological formation he uld
find thirty oxen thrown into the ere
vaccs 300 sheep, and in the gaps nicely
slowed away 300 lambs. One hundred
and twenty five calves, closely packed
on top of that, would make fair foun-
dation for upper layers composed of |, 800
fowls, BOG turkeys, 300 geese, and 800
ducks, in which might be stuck like
pebbles about q 900 eggs. Here would
crop out an upheaval of game beds, CON
sisting of venison, pheasants, and par
tridges There would he fair resting
place for ll,000 pounds of bread, 700
pounds of cheese, and the 2,400 pounds
of butter. In a tissure might be safely
stored the half ton of salt and pepper
with the ., 900 pounds of sugar Through
this little island might be flowing a rivu-
let Of 1000 gallons of milk. Quite
river might be represented by the 1000
gallons Of tea, coffee and chocolate, while
several springs of oil, of vinegar and of
various sauces might add variety to the
scene. Certainly along these water
courses might be seen growing the 5000
pounds OF vegetables which had been
necessary to his existence. OF course
this island stands in the midst of $500
gallons Of strong fluids, hardly more than
enough to give space to tle innumerable
fish and the 10000 oysters he has de
voured One single point strikes us at
this stage. Who has calculated the wear
and tear ON dish, platter, glass, knife,
fork and spoon necessary to serve up, to
lrink, to cut and to ladle out this most
notable amouut of food ?
