A New CEREAL.-A correspondent OF
the Denver Tribune describes at ienRth
the valuable qualities of plant which
he has discovered growing in the region
of tue rocky mountains. 1t is o sort OF
rice or CORD, native Of A RIGA aud ia found
to grow to perfection on the arid plains
of this continent. A Mr.. Hollistsr, of
Chicago, has made an extensive expert
mrnt in the growing OF il the past year
and predicts wonderful results from its
cultivation. Neither drought, heat or
rain effects this hardy native Of Africa
as it grows right on through even the
hot blasts from the burning plains which
scorohes everything green In sight. 1t
requires about six months to ripen and
yields about 800 pounds to the acre.
The stalk for some three feet from the
ground is about as large as mans coat
sleeve, It is perfect wood. This in all
the treele's region east of the mountain
is Il most Important fact, as an acre or
or two will furnish fuel for family for
an entire year. From the top Of the
woody substance Issues stalk on the
top OF which tuft something like tnat
OF sorghum issues; this soon drops over,
and the whole bunch is one mass OF
grain. The kernel is about the size OF
grain OF wheat, perhaps a little smaller,
and more nearly round. Each one is
enclosed in shuok, or independent cap
sule. The grain can be ground into an
excellent flour, from which bread and
other food can be made, it can BE- boiled
and eaten as rice and cracked wheat, and
in fact can be used for any purpose for
which our ordinary cereals are employed,
II this Information should prove to be
reliable the discovery is almost OF iu-
calcuabIe value as it will enable ranchers
| to utilize vast track OF land which is
now useless from being beyond tns r"acn
| OF any sort of irrigation, and will furnish
a new article OF food for both man aud
beast. The more plentiful breadstuff.
b come, the more prosperous will be the
nation and the happier Its people.

The Curse Of Italian Child

The Curse Of italian Child Slavery.
The cash value Of an Italian boy has
been yet in Boston at $50. When the
relatives of : certain boy sought to 10
deem him from servitude, his padrenc
demanded that snm q the price Of him.
The Herald (Boston) says the number Of
such children in that city is great, and
has heavily increased, owing to the severe
laws In that state and in Pennsylvania.
Some Of the children were purchased in
Italy of their parents, or Of other per-
sons claiming to be their parents, while
others were stolen or kidnapped from
their homes or on the streets. They are
now employed q bootblacks, beggars and
street musicians, and are cruelty pnuished
when their earnings are NOT sufficient to
satisfy their employer. The story II
related Of q certain child, guilty of NO
offence except that of earning Is cents

The Fot of Gold.

"a cobbler in Somersetshire dreamed
that q person told him thatif he would
go to London bridge he would meet with
something to his advantage. Hedream-
ed the same the next night, and again
the night after. He then determined to
60 to London bridge, and walked thither
accordingly. When arrived there, he
walked about the whole of the first day
without anything occurring; the next
day was passed in q similar manner. He
resumed his place the third day, and
walked about till evening, when, giving
it up a. hopeless, he determined to leave
London and return home. At this mo-
ment a stranger came up and said to
him: Il have seen you for the last three
days walking mp and down this bridge;
may / ask If you are waiting for any
oner The answer was, MOP Then
what Ia your object in staying here? p
The cobbler then frankly told his reason
for being there and the dream that had
visited him three successive nights. The
stranger then advised him to 60 home
again to his work, and no more pay any
attention to dreams. Iwork myself he
said, and had about six months ago, a
dream. Idreamed three nights together,
that, if / would 60 into Somersetshire,
in an orchard, under an apple tree, ]
should find q pot Of gold; but / paid no
attention to my dream, and have re-
manned quietly at my buainess.' It inn
mediately occurred to the cobbler that
the stranger described his W orchard
and his own apple tree. He immediately
returned home, dug under the apple
tree, and found a pot of gold. After
this increase Of fortune he WA enabled
to send his SON to school, where the boy
learned Latin. When he came home for
the holidays he one day examined the
pot which had contained the gold, on
which was some writing. He said,
Father, l can show you that what /
have learned ct school 10 of some usa.'
He then translated the Latin inscription
on the pot thus: Look under, and you
viii find better They did look under,
aud a larger quantity Of gold was found"
