THE other day dreamy young poet
Of Burlington sat down with bundle
Of old letters, in stained envelopes with
faded addresses, to write a sad requiem
over the days that are dead. He be-
gan:
Though ye waken sad thoughts as 1 sit here alone
will carefully layyou away,
For better the sh dOws of yer that gone
Than the cold garish light of to-day.
And when he got that far he opened
one of the letters for a little inspira-
ton, and read: |'Sir yur bill fur drinks
at this Bar is $17.85 an has been run
MIN munths and if not pade this
evenin' will present the same to yure
onered father fur payment. Resp
Abel Ginsling,' and then he sighed
and laid away the letters, and didn't
feel like finishing the requiem that
day.-BuTEi1agto12 HaeCk-Eye.

The Rebellion of the stomach.

The stomach obstinately rebels against all
efforts to make it digest superintendent or
indigestible food. When a ft OF dyspepsia
has been brought on by Over-indulgence in
the pleasures of the table, or any other
cause, the invalid can obtain from Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters promptcr and more
complete relief than from any other source.
This admirable specific not only renders d.
gestion active, but regulates the secretion
and distribl. ton of the bile, re-establishes a
regular habit of body when costiveness ex-
lists, restores the appetite, soothes and invig-
crates the nerves, and, if taken before retir-
ing, facilitates sleep. Under these happy
conditions, the dyspeptic or bilious subject
regains lost flesh, his spirits recover their
elasticity, and all the various and harassing
bodily and mental symptoms of chronic in
digestion disappear

A Great Feat Accomplished.

A DISPATCH reaches us to-day that
the work of cutting through the San
Fernando tunnel, on the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, has been completed.
This is one Of the greatest achieve
ments in railroad construction accom-
plished on the Pacific coast. The
length of this tunnel, cut through the
San Fernando Mountains, is 6,966 feet,
or one mile and 1886 feet. With the
completion of this work, the South
ern Pacific Railroad between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles will soon be
opened for traffic. There have been
some remarkable specimens of engi-
neering skill in building this road.
The tunnel through the Tehachipe
Pass is unique, from the fact that in
the windings of the tunnel one part
Of the roadway is over the other
The San Fernando tunnel is by far
the largest one on the Pacific coast.
The longest on the Central Pacific in
crossing the Sierra is not more than
/, 200 feet, not fifth Of the length OF
this one piercing the San Fernando
mountains. The work has also been
carried out with unprecedented dis
patch. 1t is not two years since the
first borings were made Many
difficulties have had to be en-
countered. San Fernando is the pc
troleum region of Los Angeles, ard
there were some fears lest in tunnel
ing the mountain the workmen might
come upon a vast reservoir of petro-
leum or equally nOxious fluids and
gases. The great obstacle has been the
character of the rock, and the enor-
nous pressure upon the timbers placed
as supports. To obvivate this pressure
| the tunnel will be lined with masonry
of strong resisting power.-SGp Fran

The LeperS OF Jerusalem.

WE walked across to the Zion Gate,
and mounting the city wall there-an
uneven and somewhat broken, but
slightly promenade-follOwed it round
to its junction with the Temple wall
and to RObinSOn'S Arch. Underneath
the wall by Zion Gate dwell, in low
stone hutS and burrows, a considerable
number of lepers, who form hOrrid
community by themselves. These poor
creatures, with toelesS feet and finger
less hands, came out of their dens and
assailed us with piteous cries for char
ity. What could be done? TWAS i'm
possible to give to all. The little We
threw them they fought for, and the
unsuccessful followed us with Whetted
eagerness. We could do nothing but
flee. and we climbed the wall and ran
down it, leaving Demetrius behind as
a rear-guard. | should have had more
pity for them if they had not exhibited
so much righteousness. They knew
their power, and brought all their
loathsomeness after us, thinking that
we would be forced to buy their re-
treat. Two hideouS old women fol-
lowed us long distance, and when
they became convinced that further
bowling and whining would be fruit
less, they suddenly changed tone and
cursed us, with healthful yigor; hay
ing cursed us, they hobbled home to
roost.-CharIes Dudley Warner, TN

A Cruel Hoax and It's Sad Re
suit

WHILE in Germany last year, I had
occasion, during a short sOjOurn at
Brunswick, to attend several perform
ances at the Court Theater, the lead
ing actress, Mile. Stein, a pretty and
graceful young woman, deservedly en-
jOying the reputation of being one of
the best condolences on the German
stage. A communication / have re-
ceived from Ems informs me that
Mile. Stein has committed suicide
there under rather singular circum-
stances. She had gone there to give a
series Of performances at the Kurhaus
Theater, the manager, Herr Neumann,
desiring to make his establishment as
attractive as possible during the stay
Of the Emperor of Russia. Mile. Stein
arrived at Ems about ten days ago,
making her debut in the principal part
of Withdrawals "Zugendliebe. Her
success was complete On the morn
ing of her death she had rehearsed her
role in piece by Meter, entitled "Die
VerSucherin," and it had been az
ranged that in the afternoon she
should rehearse another work by the
same author. As she did not appear
at the theater, the manager sent to her
residence. His emissary was informed
that Nile. Stein had gone for d walk
in the wood. AS she did not return
home in the evening it was feared she
had lost her way. \ search was or
gained, and eventually her corpse was

Gardening.

The Southwestern Granger, of
New Orleans, contains the follow
ing little nutshell of sound adj
vice, which we commend to the
careful reading of our agricultural
inclined readers. We know, from
observation and experience, that
many vegetables that are rarely
seen OH the dining table during
the winter season, can be cultiva-
ted and raised in abundance in
this section and we remember
that last year, about this time, the
vacant lot at the corner Of Rose
Illus and Hahn streets, in this vii
lage, under judicious management
brought forth a considerable oman
tity of delicious vegetables, espe-
cially caulitlowers, cabbages, eel
cry and kindred productions, prac
tically illustrating that gardening
is equally profitable during the
cold and frosty season Of the year
as during the mild and genial
periods
Have they ever dreamed Of it Z
DO they know how many CON-
forts, blessings and how much sat
isfaction spring from a small plat
of ground properly cultivated to
the fireside circle We Opine not.
There is too little attention given
to this subject. In the summer
time a small area OF surface, prop
erly cultivated will furnish the
family table with every species Of
vegetables, giving IA healthy diet
for the hot summer months, and
greatly reducing tho probable ex-
penditures tor physician's visits,
drugs and medicines. There Is no
more healthy diet In this tropical
cline than II vegetable ono, hence
tho necessity for every family to
have n well cul,t 1ated and well
attended vegetable garden. II IL
II season Of the year when the hu
man system needs little heating
food, and rather such diet ~ will
thin the blood and adapt the cor.
poreal anatomy to BEAUTIFULLY re-
sist the encroachments of disease,
aud sustain the enervating intiu.
ences OF a tropical cline.
AS winter approaches, then is'
there more need OF stimulating
food. This is furnished not only in
pork, fat beef, wild game and kin
dred meats, but is made all the
more palatable by the addition of
cabbage, turnips, salads and seas
oning. Yet 60 the length and
breadth Of the parish, and win
ter garden is the exception, not.
the general rule.
What can be furnished in the
winter time as vegetable food 7
Turnips. cabbage, mustard, cele-
~, roquet, parsley, onions, garlic
and kindred vegetables. Yet how
little attention is paid to this
most important of all health con
ducing subjects. People of this
cline, especially heads of falnl-
lies should see to it, that more
care is bestowed on this question
of gardening, thereby preventing
disease and saving DOCTORS fees.

A NEW MEDAL.-Lucy Hooper
writes to the Philadelphia Tele-
graph from Paris: The Maritime

few days, and the prizes to be,
awarded are already under con-
sideration. The exhibition has as,
sumed a peculiarly interesting
form to an American, from tho
fact that many of the principal
article articles therein are testin-
ed for our Centennial Exhibition.
Among the new discoveries which
owe their first publicity to this
eminently successful enterprise,
that of a new medal, which APP
pears to figure largely in COM

name of Argyrine is white and
