miles can be reached. The pressure on
the pipes in the streets is about fifty
pounds, and in the houses ten pounds,
although only one or two pounds is
needed for heating. The Lockport
company began on the basis of charg-
ing for the heat about as much as had
been before paid for fuel, but introduce
ed meters as soon as the enterprise was
fairly established, and similar course
will doubtless be pursued in this city.
The amount that can be saved to con-
sumers by this system is evidently large,
since there is inevitably waste of fuel
in connection with every fire, and a
great deal of dust and dirt that are in
furious to furniture and health. Some
Lockport housekeepers told visitors
from this city that they hardly consid-
cred it necessary to clean houses in the
spring, while their houses had been
heated throughout SO thoroughly that
they scarcely knew of the changes Of
temperature out doors. The steam is
also used for cooking, and is equal te
almost any culinary operation except
frying and broiling.---Springfetd Re

The New Era of Steam.

The Springfield Gas Company has
bought the right for this city to use the
Holly system of running steam pipes
through the streets to furnish heat and
power for adjoining buildings, and the
city Government will be asked to per-
NIT the construction of an experimental
line this winter from the company's
works on Water Street through Elm to
Main Street. This short line will reach
number of dwellings, stores, and Of
fees, large schoolhouse, the county
Courthouse, and the First Church and
chapel, in which, with the exception,
perhaps, of the church, it is hoped that
a trial of the system may be made, the
most distant point being the Chicopee
Bank. 1t is no new thing, of course, to
heat more than one building by steam
from single furnace, this already being
done in this city in the armory buildings
and in the Boston and Albany building
and depot.
The Holly system, which is owned at
Lockport, N. Y, and is in most success
full operation in that city, includes nu-
merous improvements in the protection
of the pipes laid in the streets, the ar
rangement of connections, valves, traps,
etc. In the works at Lockport, steam
is conducted two miles, and Mr..
Holly claims that a distance of five

A Bonanza Tomb.

The late w. S. O'Brien, one of the
Bonanza kings of California, arranged
before his death for a magnificent maui
solemn. The Acvertiser of San Fran
cisco gives this description of it. "The
dimensions of the main portion are 32x
% on the ground or terrace level, and
rising to a height of II feet. A chapel
II feet square will form the center of
the building, having an altar with rose
window in the western gable. This
window, which is opposite to the en-
trance, is to be filed with emblematic
subjects in painted glass. The chapel
will rise above the main structure some
"a feet, the total being about Al feet in
in height; the vault itself contains twelve
catacombs, six on either side of the en-
trance, two tiers in height. There is a
crypt 10 feet in height, built on con-
supporting the catacombs and the floor
of the mausoleum proper. The latter,
with the external approaches, is to be
laid in tessellated pavement. The up
per portion of the chapel, terminating
with an ancient cross characteristic Of
the style, is pierced with twelve cler-
story windows, which are filled with
stained glass, giving effect to the inte-
rior ribbed and nodded groining. The
carving of the figures will be of the
highest order of art, and appropriate
subjects further to be studied by the
architect. The boundary wall, steps
and examinations, together with the en-
tire structure, will be built of California
material-granite and black marble,
variously polished, as desired by the late
Mr.. O'Brien."

Buying and Selling in Madrid.

A nut brown maid is attracted by q
brilliant red and yellow scarf. She asks
the sleepy merchant, nodding before his
ware:
What is this rag worth?"
He answers with profound indiffer-
ence:
ssTen reals"
"Hombre! Are you dreaming or
crazyp'
She drops the coveted neck-gear, and
moves on, apparently horror-stricken.
"Don't be rash! The scarf is worth
twenty reals; but, for the sake of San
tissima Maria, 1 offer it to you for half
price. Very well! You are not suited.
What will you giveP"
"Caramba! Am buyer and seller
as well? The thing is worth three reals
more is simply robbery"
"Maria! Jose! And all the family!
We can not trade. Sooner than sell for
eight reals, I shall raise the cover of my
brains! Go thou! 1t is 8 in the morn
ing, and still thou dreamest.''
She lays down the scarf reluctantly,
saying:
"Five.''
But the outraged merchant snorts,
scornfully:
"Eight was my last word! Col"
She moves away, thinking sshow well
that scarf would look in the Apollo Gar
dens, and casts over her shoulder a
Parthian glance, and bids
"Six!"
"Take it! It is madness; but can
not waste my time in bargaining"
Both congratulate themselves on the
operation. He would have taken five,
and she would have given seven. How
trade would suffer if we had windows in
our breasts!

Sleep.

When TO soft sleep we give ourselves away.
And in q dream, as In a fairy bark,
Drift on and on through the enchanted
dark
To purple daybreak-little thought we pay
To that sweet bitter world we know by day.
We are clean quit of It, as is a lark
So high I'm heaven no human eye can mark
The thin swift pinion clcaving through the
gray.
TIL we awake i'll fate can do no ILL,
l The resting heart shall not take up again
The heavy load that yet may make IL
bleed;
For this brief space the loud worlds voice is
stu,
No fafntest echo of ft brings us pain.
How VIII Il be when we shall sleep in
deed?

"Oh, dare say Valeria will manage
every thing in some wonderful way"
said Philip. "She has the talent for
making little do great deal, 1 have
found out already" and as he spoke,
they drew up, in answer to Valeria's
previous instructions, before a stately
stone edifice, much handsomer than
Mrs. Runsen's own mansion.
"That stupid coachman has made
some mistake" said the owner of the
carriage, as she prepared to inform him
but Valera said gently, "No. he is
quite right" and stepped out of the car
riage, the others following, scarcely
knowing why.
Up the broad steps, across the tessel-
ated hall into a room like fairly-la
with its Administer carpet of pale hues,
and blue satin hangings and furniture,
while beyond opened vistas of apart
ments as exquisitely designed, in orange
and ebony, and further on in crimson
and gilt.
For a moment mother and son stood
looking at this silent splendor; then
Philip turned, looking in his wife's tim
id grown face, said sternly, "Valeria,
tell me at once what this all means;"
and at his word and look, Valera for
got mother -in-law-and fled into her
husbands arms.
"Forgive me my deception" she
said, her lovely head thrown back to

did not really lose my money-only 9
part of i'll only meant to test my
friends; it was foolish, romantic
know it, but look what it has wo n me
Your love-the browning happiness OF
my life."
And Valera leaned, breathless, watch
ing her husbands face. Gradually, hi
brows had relaxed their sternness, anc
when she ceased, he said, smiling,
sit is quite wonderful, and altogeth

leigh; and fear my unfortunate cousin

in his eyes, "you will not cut me OF

"Of course you knew I could no
hold out long against you two chill
dren," said his mother, benignly; ''ant
my dear child" to Valera, 81 hop
you will come to me as to your owl
mother, since you have unfortunatel..
lost your own"
To which Valera assented with grea
outward equanimity.
"Do you forgive my ruseP" said Va
leria, kneeling beside her husband
chair, when they were at last alone.
"You have me in such subsection,
find it impossible to be displeased wit
any thing you do" he answered, with
caressing smile.
"After all, it was through my none
that I was saved to be your wife," sal
Valera, then, with gay laugh. =" an
