The Climate of Leadville.

A traveller in Colorado gives this in
sight into the weather at Leadville, the
town which has so marvelously sprung
up: This Rock y mountain weather is a
puzzle to every one from the East. The
days at this season are usually as warm
as can be comfortably endured; but ev-
cry night it freezes hard. Our first
morning duty was always to break tie
ice in our water bucket with an axe, for
no lighter instrument would answer. In
the midst of any of these sunny days,
which are almost as warm as they are
having in New York at this season, a
black cloud may suddenly blow up from
the mountains and shower down snow
for an hour and then pass off as sudden
Iy, leaving the afternoon as hot as ever.
With such vicissitudes of weather in
twenty-four hours it is not strange that
all kinds of colds are prevalent and
pneumonia very fatal. I should Judge
that every third person that one meets
on the main stteet has his throat swath-
ed. A Leadville swell no longer consid-
ers himself completely dressed until his
attire is set off by strip of brilliant
flannel around his neck. 1t is the fire
quency of these severe and often fatal
colds together with the numerous cases
of lead poisoing among the smelters,
which have given to Leadville its repu-
tation for unhealthiness. I cannot dis
cover deaths from other causes are
especially common there, unless it may
be from overdoses of bad whisky.

The Art Of Bouquet Making.

It seems an easy thing to make bon.
quet as one looks over the garden and
sees the beautiful flowers. But after all
it is difficult matter and one sometimes
forgets that flowers have their affinities
and preferences, as well as the human
race. Above all give them room and not
crowd them. When flowers are massed
heavily together all lose their beauty.
saw an arrangement OF flowers yesterday
where two lovely day lilies that would
have been beautiful it grouped alone in
a slender vase with few ferns or green
spires, but whose effect was rnined by
being put in the center of mass of lark
spurs and common garden flowers. The
common flowers only looked the more
common in contrast with the lilies, aud
the lilies looked as though caught in very
coarse company.
For vases and bouquets of any sort
there should be plenty of white for the
foundation. When stemless flowers are
used, like tuberose or q single gera-
mum, stems can be made by putting the
ends inside of straws and then wiring it
in: when arranged in the bouquet the
straw cannot be seen, but the flowers can
be kept fresh by absorbing the water.
A pretty arrangement is to take spike
of scarlet gladiolus, with its brilliant
coloring, arrange it with feathery grass.
es and CLEANS of white feverfew here
and there, snd you will have lovely
spot of coloring for some dark corner.
Again, petunias and morning glories are
difficult to combine with any flower, but
give them wide.mouthed vase and a
few leaves and they are positively grace
full. All lilies I think are prettiest if no
other flowers are mixed with them.
For small vases a very good way is to
clip them off and put them in carelessly
as they come, then they will look natural /;
too much arrangement often spoils the
looks of vase of flowers. For either
hand or vase bouquets do not put too
many colors together.

A Nevada Story.

At Omaha disgusting exhibition is in
progress in the shape of rooster,
which although having his head cut off,
still lives. His head was cut off in Kan.
sas four months ago, and the rooster ran
under house, whence in day or two
he was taken out alive, having refused
to die. The present proprietor hearing
of it bought it for $50, and he says he
has refused 1000 for it. He claims he
is making mint of money out of it. The
bird is fed in the throat and takes nour-
ishment rapidly; is in fat condition, and
stands up and walks around at leisure.
Surgeons explain it by saying that the
head was cut off at the base of the brain
near the end of the spinal column, which
was not broken. The head is prepared in
alcohol.

Poor Girls.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.-
Rich parents have petted them they
have been taught to despise labor, and
depend upon others for living, and are
perfectly helpless. If misfortune comes
upon their friends, as it often does, their
case is hopeless.
The most forlorn and miserable wo-
men upon earth belong to this class. 1t
belongs to parents to protect their daugh-
ters from this deplorable condition. =
They do them great wrong if they neg
lect it. Every daughter ought to be
taught to earn her own living. The rich
as well as the poor require training
The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly round
the rich are very likely to become poor,
and the poor rich. Skilled to labor is
no disadvantage to the rich, and is III
dispensable to the poor. Well-to-do
parents must educate their children to
work. No reform is more imperative
than this.

Tom JacksOn's Queer Pet.

Tom Jackson, of this city, says the
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise, has train
ed horned toad which is quite a curiosi.
ty. It is as tame as kitten and in q
quiet way is full of fun. Mrs. Jackson
has trained the little fellow to stand
erect upon his hind feet, to stand on his
head, steadying himself with his fore
paws; to turn over on his back and sham
dead and to do quite number of similar
tricks. Tom says he thinks she will soon
have the toad trained to play the jews
harp quite as we'll as the average Piute
musician. The toad is fed on flies and
similar insects, but is also very fond OF
milk, which it drinks from a spoon.
Although always called the horned toad
or horned-frog in this country, the little
beast is lizard. Naturalists called it
an iguanian lizard of the genus phrynos-
Oaaa. Our mountaineers, who are often
quite as close observers of every living
thing met with in the wilds as any nat
uralist, speak of thing characteristic of
the horned-toad that we have never seen
mentioned by any of the scientists. It is
that when the female is teased by dog
it elects two small streams or slender
threads of blood-at least a red LIQUID
resembling blood. The liquid is spurted
to the distance of nearly two feet and
with considerable force. The liquid is
evidently provided the little animal as q
means of defense against foxes, wolves
and such animals, and whatever may be
its nature it renders a dog very uncom-
Portable in the region of the stomach.
One dose of it satisfies his curiosity.

Bachelor Bric-a-Brac.

Have you ever looked into bachelors room
In the cleaning 'twixt dinner and pipe,
While he lies on the lounge in poetic gloom,
And the fruit OF his fancy is ripe'
The Angelus- bells, with their musical clang,
Are appealing in vain to his ear;
'Tis the summons to prayer, but he don't care
hang
The gods that he worships are here.
In his chamber the trophies fbattle are stored
He reckons his scars by the SCORE;
The mammas he enraptured, the daughters he
bored,
The mittens, and hesrtaches galore.
There are cushions Of satin and fligreed mats,
With monograms, ever his own;
There are mouohoir cases, embroidered cravats,
And frills for his jars Of cologne;
There's tiny slipper he captured by chance
From the queen Of the ballet stars; O.
Its triumphs are over, truce to romance
It is sacred to Club House cigars.
Love-Ietters are lashed to a broken fan
With ribbon of faded blue,
From Marie, who married the wrong, wrong
man,
And is now mother-or two.
Some tresses Of hair, from raven to gold;
Handfuls of nameless cnrls;
He may have forgotten the sweethearts Of old,
But they're warranted, all Of them, girls
There's perfumed glove, fragment Of lace,
And the fringe of a silken sash;
Six photographs of sad, sweet face
The spoils Of his latest mash;
There's flowing girdle Of cardinal red,
That is coled like the cunning asp
oh sonnet unwrittenl Oh poem unsaid!
1t is clasped with golden clasp.
or such is the bachelors brio.a-brac;
Need tell you what it is for?
It's his pride as he lies with his heart on the
rack,
Lazily waiting for war.
From the waters beneath to the heavens above,
My bachelor hero has found
In the wide, wide world there is nothing but
love,
And there's more than enough to go round

A pair of sparrow-hawks entered the
barn OF Il. w. Garritt, farmer of the
town OF Ballston, Md, last spring, and
usurped the nesting place of pair of
doves in which they incubated and rear.
ed their young till near maturity, when
the farmer seized the young hawks,
three in number, which he is raising as
mousers. They are as tame as young
chickens, aud their voracious appetites
make them as efficient as a cat in de-
stroying mice.

There has been discovered near Rowles-
burg, West Virginia, belonging to Sen
ator Il. G. Davis, on Cheat river, a
large body of pure and solid ice. formed
last winter. Hundreds of people are
daily visiting the spot to view the curl
osity. The same thing is remembered
to haye occurred in 1860, when it was
regarded as very curious.

Owing to the numerous checks which
the British government has put upon
the importation of live cattle from this
country, as it conflicts with the busi-
ness of their butchers, New York mar
ketmen have revived the trade of send
ing dressed beef, new inventions having
obviated the difficulty of keeping the
meat fresh.

A military man, pitching into an OPP
ponent, exclaimed: 'Why, his Sword
was never drawn but once, and that was
in raffle.'
