Twenty pounds is rare yield for a
great tree ten pounds is a good harvest
from one of medium size, and many are
felled and split that furnish no cam
phor. This is not an entire waste, how
ever, as camphor wood is useful. Cot
ton camphor is obtained by distillation
from the root, stem and leaves of GER
tain species of la,race9, but more es-
pecially from the taurus canlphora.
Of this, also, there are two varieties.
The Chinese or Formosa camphor is
carried in junks to Canton, and there
packed in square chests lined with lead,
whence it is sent to the different East
ern ports where we procure it. 1t is Of
a grayish color, with grain like sugar,
and usually unattractive in appearance.
The Dutch or Japan camphor is pre-
pared in Batavia, is packed in tubs Sc
curely matted, is pinkish in hue, and
coarser than the Chinese. Both kinds
need publication before using.

Railroad officials and cattle-shippers
are reminded that the act of Congress
to enforce better care of animals shipped
by rail and boat, went into effect on
the LIST inst. The law provides that no
animals in transportation shall be con-
fined in cars or boats more than twenty
eight consecutive hours without unload
ing for refreshment, unless storm or ac-
cidents prevent. During their rest the
animals shall be carefully fed and other
wise cared for. The penalty for failing
to comply with these requirements on
the part of owners or transportation
companies is fine of not less than one
hundred nor more than five hundred
dollars. The United States Marshals
and their deputies are charged with the
duty of enforcing this law, when mott
fed of its infringement. Humane peo-
pie who love to eat good beef should
see that proper complaint is made in
cases where the law is violated.

A Layman's Grace.

A young married friend tells good
joke on himself perpetrated by little
3-year-old ''pride of the family" She
is the only pledge of love that has
twined itself around the hearts and
affections of himself and wife. A few
evenings since minister visited the
family and remained until after tea. At
the table the reverend visitor asked the
blessing, and the little one opened her
eyes to the fullest capacity in startled
wonderment. She could not under
stand what had been done, and it was
with great persuasion that her mother
could keep her quiet during the time
they were at the table. When they left
it she walked up to the minister, for
whom she had formed great friend
ship, and said: "What Gid you say at

Swimming in the Salt Lake.

There are no fish in the great Salt
Lake. The only living thing beneath
its waters is worm, about quarter of
an inch long. This worm shows up
beautifully beneath the lens of a micro
scope. When storm arises, the worms
are driven ashore by thousands, and de-
voured by the black gulls. We found a
pure stream pouring into the lake. 1t
was filled with little clubs and sinners.
The fish became frightened, and were
driven down the brook into the briny
lake. The instant they touched its
waters they came to the surface belly
upward, and died without gasp. The
water is remarkably buoyant. Eggs and
potatoes float on it like corks. Mr.. Rood
and myself stripped and went in swim
ming. / dove into the lake from a long
pier, which had been built for the use of
a small steamboat that formerly piled
upon the waters. The sensation was
novel. The water was so salty that my
eyes and ears began to smart, but so
buoyant that I found no difficulty in

Saved by a Nut.

Some years ago there was an old Ger
man Count, who was an honest and re-
spectacle man, and who was saved from
death by the kindness of God in very
marked manner. You know we read in
the Bible how Daniel, who was such a
good man, had great many enemies,
who hated him just because he was so
good. This has often been the case
since Daniels time. And this was the
case with the good German Count of
whom / am now speaking. There were
a number of people in the place where
he lived who hated him for his religion :;
and they carried their hatred so far
that they resolved to kill him. And, in
order to do this without being found
out, they hired wicke d man to go into
his castle one night and kill him while
asleep in his bed.
The arrangements were all made, and
the night was fixed on which this dread
full deed was to be done. The good
Count had no idea of the danger that
was hanging over him. 1t so happened
that on the evening before, or the very
night on which his enemies had agreed
to murder him, he had a company of
young people at his castle. He was
very fond of children, but having none
of his own he had invited his nephews
and nieces to spend the evening with
him. They had merry time together,
and the evening passed off very pleas
antly. The Count told them interesting
stories, and got up amusing games, and
had good supply of apples, and pears,
and grapes, and nuts; and they enjoyed
themselves very much. After they had
gone the Count went quietly to bed as
usual.
About midnight the murderer, who
had managed to creep into the castle
during the day, and hidden himself
away, came silently into the chamber of
the Count. The old man was fast asleep,
and night-lamp was burning on the
table. The murderer was armed with a
long, sharp dagger, which glittered in
his right hand as he gradually drew near
the bed with a soft and careful step.
But suddenly, when he was only a few
feet from the bed, loud, cracking
noise was heard sounding through the
still chamber. 1t awoke the Count. He
sat up in bed. He saw the murderer
approaching him. He seized a pistol
which he always kept on his pillow, and
pointing to the man he said, eff you
move another step I'll shoot you "
Then with the other hand he rang the
bell violently. Pretty soon his servants
rushed into the room. The murderer
was taken prisoner, and the wicked men
who had hired him to do that dreadful
deed were found out and punished.
But what made the noise which woke
the Count 1t was a nut lying on the
floor. 1t happened that one of the boys
of the company the Count had had there
the evening before had dropped nut
on the floor in going through his uncle's
room, and that nut had fallen just where
the murderer's foot trod upon it and
awoke the Count in time to save his

floating even when the air was exhausted
In my lungs. As struck out for the
beach felt as light as a feather. In
spite of all that 1 could do, my head
would fly out of the water. L found it
impossible to stand upon the bottom.
The lightness of the water and the surg
ing of the waves forced my feet from
under me. A person who could not
swim might be easily drowned in five
feet of water His head would go down
like lump of lead, while his feet would
fly up like pair of ducks. The water
is as clear as the water of Seneca Lake;
so clear that the bottom could be seen
at the depth of 20 feet. When we
reached the shore and crawled out upon
the sand in The light of the sun, our
bodies were quickly coated with salt.
We were compelled to go to the little
stream from which we had driven the
clubs and sinners, and wash off in fresh
water before We put on our clothes.
Our hair was filed with grains of salt
which could not be washed out. The
Mormons occasionally visit the lakes in
droves for the purpose of bathing.
Many of them say that their health is
improved by leaving the salt upon their
bodies and dressing without wiping
themselves with napkins Utah Letter.

The Etiquette of Bowling.

The Home Journal says: This is so
ample that one would scarcely think it
possible that difference of opinion could
exist, and yet there are some who think
it a breach of politeness if one neglects
to bow, although meeting half dozen
times on promenade, or In driving.
Custom has made it necessary to bow
only the first time in passing; after that
exchange of salutations is very properly
not expected. The difference between
a courteous and familiar bow should be
remembered by gentlemen who wish to
make favorable impression. A lady
dislikes to receive from man with whom
she has had but slight acquaintance, a
bow, accompanied by broad smile, as
though he was on the most familiar
terms with her. 1t is far better to err
on the other side, and give one of those
stiff, ungracious bows which some men
indulge in. Those gentlemen who smile
with their eyes instead of their mouths,
give the most charming bows. AS for
men who bow charmingly at one time
and excessive hauteur at another, ac-
cording as they feel in good and bad
humor, they need never be surprised if
the person thus treated should cease
speaking altogether. A man should
always lift his hat to lady.

The Seven SleeperS.

cit would awaken the seven sleepers"
is common saying; but we venture to
say that half who use it do not know its
origin. The legend runs that seven no
BILE youths of Ephesus, during the per-
secution of the Christians by Decius, a
Roman Emperor of the third century,
fled and took refuge in a cavern, and
having been pursued and discovered,
were walled in and thus left to perish.
They are said to have fallen asleep, and
in that state were miraculously pre-
served for nearly two centuries, when
their bodies having been found in the
cavern, were taken out and exposed to
the veneration of the faithful. Then it
was said these holy martyrs were not
dead; that they had been hid in the
cavern where they had fallen asleep, and
that they at last awoke, to the astonish-
ment of the spectators. The spot is
still shown at Ephesus where the pre-
tended miracle took place, and the Per-
slams celebrate annually the feast of the
Seven Sleepers.
