A SMILE.-A smile Nothing on earth
can smile but the race of men. Gems may
flash reflected light, but what is q diamond
flash compared with an eyeflash and a mirth
flash !? Flowers cannot smile. This is a
charm which even they cannot claim.
Birds cannot smile, nor can any living thing.
1t is a ~prerogative of man. 1t is the color
which love wears, and cheerfulness, and
joy-these three. 1t is the light in the
window of the face by which the heart
signifies to father, husband, or friend that
it is at home and waiting. A face that can
not smile is like a bud that cannot blossom
and dries up on the stalk Laughter is the
day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is
the twilight that hovers gently between
both, and more bewitching than either.

A Miners Fatal Trap.

A placerminer, whose claim is neal
Iowa Hill, in Placer County, had had
his sluice-boxes robbed on several oc-
casions, and although he tried all ordi-
nary methods for detecting the perpe-
traitors, failed to do SO. Finally he de-
termined upon a plan which was as
novel as it was terrible in execution.
A quicksilver tank was charged with
powerful explosives and placed in such
a position hat no sluice robbers could
approach the boxes without coming in
contact with an ingenious arrangement
which would explode the i'm plement of
death and hurl them into eternity with
the precision of a bursting boiler. On
Sunday last the inventor of this appa-
ratus (whose name our informant failed
to obtain) went to the locality where
he had it "~planted," when, by some
strange and unknown accident, it ex-
ploded. Its power to do the work for
which it had been made was fully dem
onstrated. The owner was shattered
into Thousand atoms-a victim to his
own inventive faculties .-Nevada (Cat.)

DR.. Pierce's Invalids' and Tourists
Hotel-Grand Opening.

DIR. r. v. Pierce opened his new In
valids' and Tourists Hotel, at Buffalo,
N. T., on the 18th of April, with a re-
ception to the press, followed by one
on the 3Oth to the citizens, both oi
which were largely attended and highly
enjoyed by all the guests, whom the
genial Doctor received and entertained
in the most princely style. The struct-
ure itself is magnificent and imposing,
the style of architecture being what is
known az the modern French. Sit
uated as it is. on the highest ground in
the city, with a pleasant wooded lawn
before it, sloping gently to the Niagara
River, it commands the finest and
healthiest position obtainable, espe.
cially as Buffalo is probably
the healthiest city in the country,

est effects in the several halls and par
lors. 1t is heated throughout by steam,
and fresh water is drawn from the
street by a large pump, which forces il
up into tanks on the fourth, fifth and
sixth stories. Pure air and. sunshine
being two of DR.. Pierce's favorite med.
icines, the system of ventilation is,
therefore, most perfect-every room
being SO constructed as to receive fresh
outdoor air and provided with a double
escape for any air which has become
impure. The value of such ventilation
to invalids needs no comment. There
is not a room in the house that is mo-
visited by sunshine, or from the door
of which a staircase cannot be seen. On
every floor there are four stations, each
provided with 100 feet of hose, con
nected with the Champion chemical
fre-extinguishing system, and which,
with the assistance of the speaking an
nunciator, can be made instantaneously
available. Everything pertaining to
the medical department is placed down
upon the basement floor, thus giving nc
unpleasant suggestion of the sick room
to those guests who d not need a ply.
stefan. Here we find the Swedish
health-lift, reception-room, consulta-
tion-rooms, of which there are several,
each one for some special class of dis.
eases-all tastefully arranged and well
supplied with the appliances necessary
for their different departments. The
bath system is arranged in the most
complete and luxurious manner. The
rooms are large and fitted up with
glazed tiles, and comprise Turkish,
Russian and electric baths. In the
matter of recreation, the house is well
supplied, having a owling-a alley, bill
iard-rooni and gymnasium. The ca
pacity of the house is about $50 guests.

Homestead Drainage.

ers OF the West have to deal. In this
the drainage of the house lot and
grounds is OF the first Importance, es-
pecially SO since this may be accom-
pllshed at a comparatively light cost,
when we compare the value returned.
When the barn yard and its surround
ings are directly connected, or in close
proximity to the home and the well,
from which the daily drinking water
Of the family is drawn, the question of
drainage often becomes most serious,
and for this reason: The water of
drainage sinks from h surface direct
ly to the water-line in the earth, and
thence horizontally, or along the nat
ural decllylty OF porous strata, to the
nearest outlet. In a majority of cases
this will be found to be to the well.
Whyp If for no other reason, from the
well-known fact that insect life. during
droughts, bore to the nearest living
water, the well, and when the rains
again saturate the earth. direct open
channels are thus left where the water
Of drainage flows, loaded with the ac-
cretions OF the sinks, the privy and
the barnyard. Hence 1t VIII be at
once seen that every precaution should
be used to cut on and convey away
these accumulations by means OF under
drains. sS2
Next to this source OF disease, un-
drained cellars are prolific breeding
places OF mlasma. 1t Is safe to say
that OF the farm cellars OF the West
and not n quarter OF the farm houses
are provided with cellars at ail-four-
htths are tho sufficient drainage,
and for the reason that 1t is consid-
ered impractical to drain them. wen
where q lame attempt at drainage is
made, the water ways are generally OF
plank or other Perishatie material,
without traps t prevent the return
OF foul gases, thus, adding to the dam
ger OF infection by miasma. Those
VINO nave made tnls mistake should
lose no time IN taking up these drains
and laying others OF yltrlhed pipe
winch may be cheaPly bought in any
city:
b are very few farm house sites
IN the west where q drainage Is not
comparatively easy lew places where
forty rods OF drain will not give a per
feet outflow from a cellar eve feet
deep. Nevertheless II such be The case,
Inc only way Is TO continue the drain
until a sumclent outfau is reached. In
the ditch, after the bottom Is carefully
ieveled SO the fall will be equal, lay
~three-lnch glazed pipe, with shoulders
SO one may be fitted i n the other and
cemented tight; else there will be leak
age at the joints, the ground will be
saturated, decomposition will ensue,
4 malaria DC surely generated. just
after the drain leaves the cellar a joint
OF pipe should be laid forming an elbow
or v. Ihls serves as q trap to keep all
foul gases from entering the cellar, and
below this trap n from the sink and
