gas . pretty tough one in more senses
han me. Supplies were scarce, and
hose who wanted them had little to
pay for them. The ores were all base,
and smelling was an experiment not
we'll enough understood TO command
. dollar of outside capital. There was
no capital except pluck, and no securi-
ty save the cohesive attraction of uni
versal poverty. And yet a few men
fought it out upon that line and laid
the keystone of Eurka's succeeding
prosperity. No one realizes just what
work was done that Winter. Science
did not come near until by hard blows
. way had been discovered so that it
was not needed; or, rather, it was
secured by hard knocks instead of
this wisdom of the schools. There
was no money to pay laborers
at the end of tho month. The trad
ers supported the town and advanced
supplies on a hope. Miners worked at
their mines, thinking. maybe, some
thing would turn up in the Spring.
Furnace-men were rejoiced when they
could force ten ons OF ore through a
furnace in twenty-four hours without
having it choke. There were just
roughs enough in town to make things
lively; just enough fighters to keep
things interesting; just enough thieves
to insure caution; just enough suffer-
ing to keep people generous; just
enough whisky to max desperate
men, once in a while, forget care for a
time; just enough ladies to keep a trace
OF civilization among men. A sack of
barley or q quarter of beef was q legal

indefinite imitation. The Central Pa
ci6c would not land or receive goods at
Palisade. There vas no stage to the
railroad, and the quickest way to get
eighty miles was to 80 around by
Hamilton, one hundred and sixty
miles. The change is marvellous, and
the people of that brave little city have

A Piano Tester.

According to the Detroit Free Press
there is an old man in that city named
steinhardt who possesses strong
mania for testing pianos. Many years
ago in the old country he was manu-
facturer and tuner of these instruments
and he grew old in the business. He is
now in his dotsge, and having nothing
else to do, being well provided for by q
daughter, he spends his time in inspect
ing pianos i'm different parts of the city.
He is a fine-looking old man, and wher-
ever he pays visit he commands re-
spect. He generally leaves home shortly
after breakfast and walks quietly along
until he arrives at some stately resi-
dence which he imagines must contain
piano. He walks up to the door,
rings the bell, and when the summons
is answered he bows politely and says
that he would like to try the piano.
His eccentric ways being known by the
neighbors for blocks around, he is ush-
cred into the room which contains the
instrument, when, seating himself be-
fore it, he runs up and down the keys
for half an hour or so, usually finish
ing up by playing some light, old
fashioned selection. This done he re-
places the cover of the piano and bows
himself out. With a remarkable ear
for harmony, he can detect the slightest
flaw in a note; when he marks the key
for the tuner with a red pencil. In
this he has never been known to err,
and the tuners, who are USUALLY sent
for whenever the old man finds the in
strument out of order, say that he is
"reliable as clock" After having
{. ayersed the length of two blocks,
during which time he usually tests from
six 10 a dozen pianos, he returns home,
and after dinner starts out again for his
afternoon tests, choosing different
route from That taken in the morning.

and pays a graceful tribute to their love-
illness. The 'smyriad-minded" Goethe
once saw some peasants strewing fiow-
ers over a child's grave. eyes" said
he, ''bring flowers, my friend to the in
fant's grave, for they both make us
think of Heaven; there the little ones
are all gathered; there the flowers never

There are many fanciful and exquisite
Legendary stories of flowers and the
origin of their names. One of the for
get-me-nOt" is that youth and maiden
sat on the bank of a swift flowing river.
To test his love the fair girl begged
that he would plunge in the rapid cur
rent and bring to her the little blue
flower that fioated not far away. The
lover pleaded in vain that he might
give some other proof of his fidelity.
The pouting beauty was inexorable.
He bade her sad farewell, and plunged
in TO meet his certain fate. She sat
gaily watching him while he bravely
buffeted the waves, and at last reached
the flower; plucking it he attempted to
return, but feeling his strength ex-
hausted he threw it to her on the bank,
crying, FORGET me not" and disap-
peared beneath the surging waters.
Since then, runs the legend, the little
flower has been called the ''forget-me-
not"
The perfume of different flowers re-
calls joyous associations, and often very
sorrOwful ones. We inhale the fra
GRANGE that we loved in childhood, and
the happy past comes back to bless US
again with its sweet memories. And
who that has ever placed them on the
bier of the loved dead but ever after
looks on them as sacred memories of the
departed.
The love of flowers and the culture Of
them is increasing everywhere. We
see windows, parlors, gardens, the
roadside and every place adorned with
them. As indicative of gentleness and
refinement, we hail this as an omen for
good, and greet them always gladly as
Gods soothing and purifying angels Of
the soul.

Strange news comes from the Hill
Districts of Burmah. The English au-
thorities-commissioners and chaplains
of Rangoon and others-have sent out a
pitiful appeal for help. Ten thousand
villagers are starving. tits not drought,
as in Bengal, protracted cold and un-
timely rains, as in Asia Minor, nor
grasshoppers, as in Kansas, that has
brought so many people to dire neces-
sity. 1t is rats. An area of six thou
sand square miles has been Overrun
with these "British vermin," which
have spared nothing in their wide
spread devastation. The appeal de-
clares that the people are entirely des-
titute; their accumulations have been
exhausted, and they have no occupation
but husbandrv to depend on for daily
food. With rats so numerous as to eat
up everything, nothing short of aid
from without can keep the people alive.
As nothing is said about subsisting on
the enemy, it is to be presumed that the
up-country Burmese are, like the lately
afflicted Bengali, confirmed vegetarians,
and would sooner starve than eat flesh.

The Love OffIOwers.

FLOWERS are the alphabet of angels,
whereby they write on hills and fields
mysterious TRUTHS" and do they not in
eulcate in the heart beautiful lessons of
humility and strength, brightness and
cheerfulness? The humblest life, like
the tiniest flower, may be lovely. Wild
winds and heavy storms bend down the
hardest plant, but the sweet breath and
sunshine of Heaven raise them up and
give them new life. So with the human
heart; the storms of adversely come
with overwhelming power, but the sun
shine of Gods love elevates and
strengthens it. Their brightness is
from God, who paints them in gorgeous
colors with sunbeams, and likewise our
life must depend on the light of Gods
smile for its brightness. From them,
too, we may learn the lesson of the
fraility of life, so beautiful and radiant
yet fading so soon, Then, again, they
are ''sweet types of the great Resur-
rection Day. They send their praise
and prayer TO Heaven in fragrance; so
we must give the incense of our love to
our Maker in faithful obedience and
good deeds.
Who does not love these children of
Nature: So simple, yet so wonderful,
that the most common-field flower is a
complex study for the deepthinking
scientists.
A love for flowers should be cultiva-
ted in every household. No matter how
lowly the abode or how poor the in
mates, these little messengers of God
may bless and ornament that home.
With small plat of ground and few
minutes care daily a gorgeous little
spot of brilliant colors may be made to
adorn the home of even the most pow
erty-stricken. Therefore it is to be re-
GREETED that many of the small yards of
the city are not kept cleaner. In the
place of ashes and rubbish of all kinds
how much better TO have green grasses
snd lovely flowers growing!
Perhaps those who have charge ofthe
beautiful charity y,the"Flower Missions"
In our cities, and who distribute bou-
quets arranged by gentle hands to those
who are not able to purchase, might be
induced to undertake this reform, and
instead of the unsightly yards of our
alleys, bright little plats of grass or
flowers might. with little Indictment,
take their place. This change would |
add 10 the health of the city and to the |
happiness of the poorer classes. Let |
the kind hearts of those who prompted |
the Flower Mission" think of the sug-
gestion, and by earnest endeavor make
Ii a success.
From the earliest ages flowers have
contributed to the joy of man and
soothed human sorrow. They have
the victor and the blushing |
bride, and covered with their sweetness |
and fragrance the graves Of the loved
and lost.

wHERE LOVE BECOMES IMMORTAL.

Beyond the chilly winds and gloomy skie~.
Beyond deaths cloudy portal.
There is land where beauty never dies.
And love becomes immortal
We may not know how sweetits balmy air.
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there.
Through those enchanted bowers.
But sometimes. when adown the western sky.
Tbe'fiery sunset fingers,
Its golden gates swing inward noiselessly.
Unlocked by unseen fingers;
And while they stand a moment half ajsr,
Cleans from the inner glory,
Stream brightly through the azure vaults afar
And half reveal the story.

ance with DIR. Morell, well known for
learning and piety, and who selected
subjects from the Scriptures for Handel's
oratoriOs. l heard him say that, one
fine summer morning, he was reused
out of bed at five o'clock by Handel,
who came in his carriage a short dis
tance from London. The Doctor went
to the window, and spoke to Handel,
who would not leave his carriage. Han
del was at the time composing an ora
torio. When the Doctor asked him
what he wanted, he said, "What de
devil means de word billow?' which
was in the oratorio the Doctor had writ
ten for him. The Doctor. after laugh
ing at so ludicrOus reason for disturb
ing him, told him that billow meant
wave, wave of the sea. ''Oh, de vave,"
said Handel, and bade his coachman re-
turn, without addressing another word
to the Doctor.

Memory in Birds.

A carrier pigeon which was captured
in balloon during the siege of Paris,
and sent by Prince Frederick Charles to
his mother, recently escaped from cap
tivity and returned TO the house Of its
former owner i'm the French capital.
This is certainly a remarkable instance
of the exercise of memory in lower ami
mails, to which it would appear difficult
to find parallel case. The bird must
have kept its former hannts in recollec-
tion for nearly five years.

Keeping the Law.

There was an old Quaker who had an
unfortunate reputation of non-resist-
ance. Ii was said that any one could
jostle him, tread on his toes, or tweak
his nose with impunity, until one mar
ket day clustering fellow, being told
that yonder was man who, if he was
smitten on one cheek would turn the
other also, thought it would be sport to
try him. Stepping up to the sturdy,
good-natured Friend, he slapped his
face. The old man looked at him sor-
rowfully for a moment, then slowly
turned his other cheek, and received
another buffet. Upon that he coolly
pulled off his coat. II have cleared the
law" said he, land now thee must take
it," And he gave the cowardly fellow
a tremendous thrashing.

Measuring the Strength of Insects.-
Some interesting and ingenious exper-
iments for measuring the strength of
insects have la.ely been made by a
Belgian naturalist named Plateau. He
first tested their power of raising
weights while walking on a level sur
face. His novel method of doing this
was to harness the insect by horizon
tai thread running over an easily -mOv-
ing pulley, at the other end of which
was attached scale pan for holding
sand. To keep the insect in a straight
direction. he fenced it in between two
parellel strips of glass; and to keep it
from slipping, he covered its track
with coarse muslin. As the insect
moved forward, it pulled the thread
over the pulley and raised the pan, and
the experimenter poured sand into it
until the insect could move no longer.
The insect and the sand it had raised
were then weighed, and the relation
between the weight of the two was OBJ
tanned. He found that the insect could
raise forty times its own weight while
by a similar method man could raise
only five-sixths of his weight, and a
horse only half or two thirda of his. BY
repeating each experiment three times
and employing a vast number of insects
of various sizes, and comparing his re-
suits, he came to the conclusion that
the smaller insects in the same group
raise the greater weight in
proportion to their own weight.
