The Story of Lucy,

Last week, in a neighboring city, a
sudden end came to a little domestic dra-
ma, for which purpose we make room
here. We believe its meaning bears
more nearly ON the lives of a large class
of our readers than even the national
debt or the choice of our next Presi-
dent.
About twenty years ago, a girl-baby
was born to a carpenter and his wife who
had five boys already swarming and
squabbling about the three-roomed house
The baby shared the fate of solitary
girls among brothers. She was the some
thing rare and unwonted which had new
er come into their common life before !;
she was the bit of porcelain among
rough crockery; her father and the big
ger boys dubbed her little lady :" car
ried her out proudly on Sunday after
moons, when their own clothes were
patched enough but she never lacked a
bit of embroidery or a feather in her
cap. She, unlike myriads of other chill
dren, was born to no memorable inherit
ance of poverty, or dirt or crime. The
carpenter was hard working, honest,
domestic old man, whose highest ambi-
ton was to give each of his boys steady
trade, that they might never need to
take to shifty ways to earn meal" For
Lucy, of course he hoped for something
better. His wife was thrifty Scotch
Irish woman, who had lived in one house
at service for fifteen years before her
marriage, and could command a high
salary at any time now as housekeeper.
"Girls in the old country" she said,
were set to work from the time they
could walk. They did not need to drudge
SO here. There were chances for them
in free country" She never passed a
rich mans daughter, deIicately dressed.
but that she did not think of these
chances" chances that numbered not
only easy living and refinement, but
equipages, velvets and diamonds. Edu-
cation placed all men on a level. Her
mothers heart was sore and tender
Why should not her little girl enter into
that high, unknown world of luxury
from which she had been shut out ? God
had made no life so full of blessings that
it ought not to be possible to Lucy with
her loving blueeyesand wonderful bright
hair. Ii was quite true that God had
made no life of happy womanhood which
was not possible to the child. She had
a practical, nimble intellect, was frank,
earnest, affectionate; bushes and tears

The California Earthquake.

From California correspondence and
newspapers, we gather the following in
teresting particulars of the recent terri
BILE commissions in Inyo county. In the
town of Independence, we are told,
THE FIRST GREAT SHOCK
came at % o'clock Tuesday morning,
and was probably the most severe that
occurred. Mr.. Bell, who was sleeping
in the second story Of the hotel at indie
pendence Ga frame building filled with
adobes) says that when the first shock
came it threw his pitcher and wash-bowl,
which were upon stand six feet distant,
upon his bed, where they rolled to the
floor and were broken. After a few
heavy sidewise lurches from south to
north, during which Mr.. Bell was try
ing to climb out of his second story
window, about half a dozen perpendicu-
lar lolts came, which seemed to lift the
house to the height Of several feet. The
earth now settled down to a steady trem.
ulous motion. From this time till near
ly o'clock the earth was never for a
moment perfectly quiet, and every few
minutes heavy shocks of few seconds
duration were occurring. In all, there
were more than fifty very hard shocks.
The first shock cracked and threw down
many walls and buildings, but it was
the heavy succeeding shocks which lev
elled everything. The brick court house
and every brick and adobe house in the
town and throughout the whole county.
were thrown down.
CLOUD OF DUET, FIssUREs IN THE EARTH.
ETC.
The shocks were accompanied with a
great rumbling, and the air was filled
with clonds of dust-indeed, such guam.
titles of dust filled the air that a cloud
was formed, which was seen by persons
residing 10 or 20 miles to the northward.
10 places on the stage road there were
encountered rocks as large as two-story
houses, which had rolled down from the
mountains. From Independence to Big
Pine, a distance of As miles, there is not
asquare yard of ground that does not
show cracks. Near Big Pine they found
a crevice across the road so feet wide
and ak feet deep. Off the road, but in
plain sight, this creyice was 200 feet
wide and over 20 feet deep. and it could
be traced long distance, running north
and south, parallel with the Sierra Ne
yada mountains.
Between Fish Springs and Bishop
Creek, where formerly was a desert
place, there now gushes forth stream
OF water enough to turn mill. In 9TH
er places streams and springs are dried
up; and, in fact, the whole country

Experiments in Drying Wood.

Some experiments in drying wood
have been recently made by DR.. Hartig,
or Munich. He says trees generally
contain, during the winter months, about
an average of 50.7 per cent of moisture
in March and April, about 46.9 per
cent in May, June, and July, about
AZ per cent; while up to the end of No
vember the quantity of moisture in
creases but little. Air-dried wood (tim-
ber) contains from 20 to 25 per cent Of
water, and never less than 10 per cent.
Wood which by being artifcially dried,
has been deprived of all moisture, is
thereby entirely altered as regards its
cohesive strength-it becomes brittle.
and loses its elasticity and fexibility.
In order to dry all kinds of timber by
artificial means, SO as to preserve the es-
sential physical structure, and thereby
the good properties of the wood, the dry.
ing should be effected slowly, and the
temperature to which the timber is SUBJ
mitted should be moderate to begin with,
and care should be taken not to elimi-
nate all the water. DR.. Hartig enters
into details, illustrated by engravings,
ON the best means of drying timber on
large scale, and states that small
pieces of wood, such as are intended for
joiners and furniture-makers, may be
readily and efficiently dried by being
placed in dry sand and then heated to
1909. The sand acts in the manner of
an absorber of the moisture, as we'll as a
diffuser of the heat.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more than toll or sorrow.
Obedience to fashion is a greater trans
gression of the laws of woman's nature,
a greater injury to her physical and
mental constitution, than the hardships
of poverty and neglect. The slave wo-
man at her task still lives and grows old,
and sees two or three generations of her
mistresses pass away. The washerwo-
man, with scarcely ray of hope to
cheer her in her tolls, will live to see
her fashionable sisters all extinct. The
kitchen maid is hearty and strong, when
her lady has TO be nursed like sick
baby. 1t is sad truth that fashion
pampered women are worthless for all
good ends of life; they have but little
force of character; they have still less
power of moral will, and quite little
physical energy. They live for no great
ends. They are dolls, formed in the
hands of milliners and servants, to be
led in order. If they raise children,
servants and nurses do all save to con-
ceive and give them birth; and when
reared, what are they? What do they
amount to but weak scions of the old
stock ? Whoever heard of fashionable
woman's child exhibiting any virtue and
power of mind for which it became emf

awful in its inconceivable grandeur. A

artillery fired simultaneously beneath

neighboring hills and crashing down the

crevasses which suddenly opened as the
solid earth was rent asunder-all made
the scene indescribable.
HOUSE INSTANTLY CRUSHED AND A
YOUNG LADY KILLED,
One gentleman says the house in which
he had been staying was crumbled in an
instant into confused mass of broken
furniture, bricks, pieces of board, etc.,
and it was by the greatest miracle that
he escaped as he did, totally unhurt. In
the house we're two inmates besides him
self, farmer and his daughter. After
the shock, the latter he saw lying insen-
sible on the ground at distance of some
20 feet from the site of the dwelling.
The father was terribly bruised, and
blood was pouring from a wound on his
forehead, where a falling brick had
struck him. Wiping il away, the two
began rubbing the hands and chatting
the temples of the senseless girl, but it
was all to no purpose, She had evident
ly been killed instantly, having fallen
on her back.
WHOLE FAMILIES KILLED OR BURIED.
A young husband had been sitting at
the fireside with his wife. He intended
to depart in the morning for San Fran
cisco, and the two were making the most
of the last time they would be together
probably for several months; the candle
had burned out, and they were seated
close to the open fireplace, the wife hold
ing in her arms child of few months.

All were rescued, however, alive, except
baby, which was burned to death by
coming in contact with stove. A moth

or Is. who had been taken the day be-

shock neither could be found, the ruins
of the house itself even being swallowed

been made in the earth.

is incident to variety OF diseases The lower limbs
are apt to be swollen. The patient is feeble, and
cannot bear much exertion. The circulation is ir-
regular, but almost always weak Palpitation OF the
heart Is a very common symptom. Violent emotion
often throws the heart into the most tumutuous
ton. The vital functions are languidty performed
low moderate or slight exercise. The breathing
though quiet when at rest becomes hurried and even
painfully agtaed under exertion, as in running as
cending heights, &c. The nervous system is often
greatly disUrdered, Vertigo dizziness and feeling
OF taintness are very common, Violent and obsti'
nate neuralgia pains in the head, side breast or 9TH
parts Of the body, are also frequent attendants
upon the disease. The secretions sometimes di

either suspended or partially performed. The bile
is seanty and costiveness, with unhealthy eyaeua-
tons from the bowels and dyspeptic state of the
stomach, are extremely common symptoms.
