gentlemen said the speaker, where
can we raise the nickels p 1t was
moved and seconded that the meet
ing go into executive session for
the purpose of acting upon the last
question. The motion prevailed

is matter in which hundreds of
our citizens are interested, and the
result will be looked forward to

Sometime.

Sometime you'I think of these summer days
Dreamity fading in purple haze.
Sometime, with a thrill of passionate pain,
You'll long for their sweetness over again.
Sometime you'll listen in silence lone,
For girlish voice that was ali your own.
Sometime when the starlight is shining
bright,
And the moon drops low in the summer night.
You will watch for cleaning, figure fair,
WhIte-robed and noiseless. with falling hair.
Sometime in your dreaming a little hand
VIII hnger in yours at loves sweet demand ;
And gazing deep in the luminous eyes,
That made for your light its paradise.
The light, and music, and odorous calm
Or this golden crowned summer with linger-
like balm,
Till, starting, you waken to clasp but air.
And list to fitting football there.
Sometime you'd give all the wise worlds
praise
For one Of these vanishing summer days;
For just one leaf from the swaying Dough
sometime you'd clasp it; ah, why not now,
Ere the lingering light of the perfect days
has 1aded, forever, In mystic hazel

a Curious Doctor.

A miracle-worker has risen in Spain
to restore sight to the blind, TO make
the deaf hear, to give speech to the
dumb, to call the dead to life and to cure
vines that are attacked by the phylloxe-
ra. El Baldaet, of Alicante, receives
patients and visitors twice a day in
large room, which will hold more than
a hundred people, all of whom must
be provided with cards of invitation.
When the room is full, he takes his
seat in the center, with the visitors
grouped around him. After having
made several invocations to the beni-
ficent spirits, he calls upon all the per-
sons who are afflicted with any disease
to come and consult him. Instead of
writing prescription, or advising them
to try the waters of some foreign spa,
his eyes begin to roll, his body is shaken
by epileptic movements, and he lays his
head upon the patients hand and
utters certain mysterious words. The
patient is then supplied with several
bottles of magnetized water, which he
is advised to drink until he feels quite
well.

Offee-How 1t is Raised.

Coffee culture is very interesting, and
the growing cropis very beautiful. The
trees at maturity are from five to eight
feet high. They are well shaped and
bushy, with dark green foliage, and
planted eight or nine feet apart. The
flowers are in clusters at the roots of
the leaves, and are small, but pure
white and very fragrant. The fruit has
q rich color, and resembles q small
cherry or large cranberry it grows in
clusters, close to the branches, and when
it becomes deep red, is ripe and ready
to be gathered. The trees are raised
from seed, and do not begin to yield
until the third year. In Central Amer
lea they bear well for twelve or fifteen
years, although in exceptional cases,
trees twenty years old will yield an
abundance of fruit. The trees are par
ticularly beautiful when in full bloom,
or when laden with ripe fruit. The
process for preparing coffee for mar
ket is as follows : The ripe berries when
picked, are at first put through
machine called the "desplador," which
removes the pulp; the coffee grains, of
which there are two in each berry, are
still covered with sort of glutinous
substance which adheres to the bean.
They are now spread out on large
"patios," made especially for the pur-
pose, and left there, being occasionally
tossed about and turned over with
wooden sEovels until they are perfectly
dry. They are then gathered up and
put into the ''retrilla'-a circular
trough in which heavy wooden wheel
shod with steel, is made to revOlve, so
as to thoroughly break the husk with
out crushing the bean. The chaff is
separated from the grain by means of
tanning mill, and the coffee is now
thoroughly dry and clean. After this
it is the custom of some planters to
have it spread out on long tables and
carefully picked over by the Indian
woman and children, all the bad beans
being picked out. 1t only remains to
have them put in bags, weighed and
marked, before it is ready for shipment
to the port. On some of the larger
plantations this process is greatly
simplified with considerable saving OF
time and labor, by the use of improved
machinery for drying and cleaning the
coffee.

One Way TO Get Married.

Judge Richardson doesn't pretend to
be parson and therefore isn't as well
up In the marriage ceremony as the
preachers are. The young couple stood
up before him, the other evening, and
the Judge inquired In a cross-questionin
tone of the groom
Are you citizen of the United
States p'
The groom took hold Of the waist
band of his trousers and tugged, say
ing:
I" / voted for Tilden, Judge"
"Why, Jamesl'' family exclaimed
the blushing creature by his side.
It's fact, Emmer," protested
James, rather Indignantly, and glaring
ut the Judge.
His Honor coughed and demanded
severely:
Do you, sir, as q citizen of Nevada
and lawful voter of Reno, solemnly
declare that you will forsake all other
evils and cleave to this oneY''
"I've money to bet on it ~ responded
the groom, growing pale, but placing
his arm around the waist of the SHRINK
ing bride.
"Then," cried the Judge, bringing
his fist down on his desk, "God has
Joined you together and d. the man that
puts you asunder. The fee is just what
you like to give, young fellow"

Ten years ago there settled near FL

Ransom, man of wealth. His wife
was gentle lady. He had dark, wild
hammered boy, named Paul. Ransom
prospered. Everybody liked him. He
was elected mayor of Ell Paso, was re-
elected and is mayor now. Last week
darked-faced woman, resembling Paul,
appeared. She went from door to door
in Ell Paso, declaring that Ransom was
her husband, that he left her, taking
$4,000 twenty-five years ago, and that
since then she had been hunting him
the wide world over. Ransom denies
all. The woman appeals to the law.

Don't You Think so7

There is excellent good sense in the
following paragraph: "The great end
of education is not information, but
personal vigor and character. What
makes the practical man is not the well
informed man, but the alert disciplined,
selfcommanded man. There have been
highly trained and accomplished men
in days when a knowledge of geography
hardly went beyond the islands and
mainland of the Levant. There were
powerful English writers long before
Lindley Murray wrote his Latanized
English grammar. What should be
understood thoroughly is that cramming
is not education. 1t is mistake to
cover too much ground, and to seek to
make youth conversant simply with
the largest number of studies. Let
the personal influence of the teacher be
relied upon rather than books and
elaborated methods"
