TIE Pixies PEAK SIGNAL STATION
The establishment by the government of
II signal service station on the summit of
Pike S Peak, though thought for some time
to be unnecessary, has proved to he u very
wise measure. II is the highest station, AS
well as the highest inhabited part of the
globe-its elevation is usually estimated ut
about 1880 feet-and present indications
are that it is yet to stand at the head of all
the astronomical and meteorological sta
tions of the world. 1t is admirably adapt
ed 20 tho observation and study of nature,
the rariety of the atmosphere bringing out
to Il remarkable degree the clearness and
brilliancy of the heavenly bodies. The
nights are almost always cloudless, and
cloudy days are exceptional, nine-tenths
of the storms being below the Peak. The
best report of the last total eclipse of the
sun received at Washington was Prof.
Loud's of Colorado college, from obser-
vation made 1t the Peak The summit of
the mountain contains 60 acres, and ut the
loftiest point stands the signal station, a
rough stone building, "a by so feet, one
story high, which contains the officers
room, kitchen, store room and wood'room.
On that bleak, lonely spot. nearly 20 miles
from any human habilation, the three sig
nal officers, sergeanls specially detailed
from the army, live the greater part of the
year. The station is three miles from the
timber line, where vegetation for the most
part ceases. Short grass, tufted with deli
cate Alpine flowers. struggles against the
cold air, rs it creeps toward the summit

BEAUTIFUL OLD FACES.-There is some-
thing very winsome in the fair face and
open countenance of young person
who is unmistakably sincere and pure and
frank. who evidently is innocent and
guileless, and, has II kind and gentle
spirit. One loves to look at such coun.
tenance, and is prompt to praise it with
hearty enthusiasm. What an attractive
face! you say. 1t commands instant
confidence. There is no room for doubt
there. Yet after all, the confidence which
such face inspires is limited. 1t rests
on hope rather than on experience. That
is the face of one who has never been
tried, He is Il young soldier of fine prom
Use. Blu: he never won victory; because
he never was in battle. No such restful
confidence in his courage and character is
possible as in one whose face bears the
marks of struggle, of endurance. of triumph
Innocence in contrast with virtue is as u
blank page in contrast with page written
over with strong. brave words. You may
admire the texture and tone and finish of
IL sheet of paper of unusual quality and
beauty; but you wouldn't find any such
enjoyment in receiving that sheet through
the mail with its surface unsulied as you
would have in Il sheet covered with words
of courage and cheer from one who has
been tried and proved true, who has been
weighed in the balances and found mol
wanting. A fair page of choice paper is Il
good start for Il letter; but it is only Il
start. 1t is very well to have bright and
pleasing face in ones early years. 1t is IA

. RErICENCE.-In the high and difficult
arl of speaking the truth, silence is to
speech what shadow is to light. So to
place ones silence Us TO increase the
amount of truth conveyed is us important
II part of sincerity rs chiarooScuro is of
painling. 1t is not only that silence in many
cases bears 50 obvious IN Interpretation
that it is just rs easy and just rs dishonest
to deny the truth by silence as by words.
The importance of discretion in abstaining
from words lies in this, that truth requires
not merely that what we say or imply
shall not be inconsistent with facts; it re-
qureo Tin its perfection) that the impress.
sion we convey shall correspond with re.
alitles as good portrait corresponds with
its subject; that the proportions shall be
preserved, ,and the relations with surround
ing objects truly indicated. We see that
at once in thinking of the truth of history.
A writer who gives undue prominence to
one set of facts, or to some favorable per-
sonage, distorts and misleads Us surely as
he could do by definite inaccuracies of
statement, and often in Il much more i'm
portant sense, And so in that continual
presentation of the affairs of daily life in
which we are all engaged,to alter the pro-
portions OF things by unavowed reticence
is more subtle and more dangerous kind
of untruthfulness than mere verbal inaccu
racy. The fact is. that we do not take Il
sufficiently large view of truth.
We do not consider enough how deep
and wide IL foundation of patient thought,
of forbearing justice, and clear-sighled
generosity must be laid before IL perfectly
transparent surface can be even possible.
Perfect sincerity is the result of Il deep
inward order, in which the true relation
of things are grasped so firmly that our
words, our silence, and everything else
which goes to make up our intercourse
with each other, fall into their right places
without any effort. For silence has its
right place us well rs speech. There are
subjects yelled by natural delicacy, and
facts marked off by confidential barriers,
and trtles which Il healthy mind shakes
off like dust, and wounds to be gently
shielded, and delightful discoveries TO be
reserved for favored explorers, and many
other spots sacred 10 silence. The ques-
ton is how to combine the perfect preser-
Walton of these SanctuarieS with the open
ness which inspires perfect trust. We can
no more coniide in one whose mind seems
to be full of dark places than in one who
lays everything bare. We look to Il friend
for sheltering wings to brood over our con
fidcnces, not our magpie tricks of conceal.

The Bushmen are usually ranked as the
lowest forms of humanity, except, perhaps
the South American Botocudo, and their
manner of oral communication is very
little like human speech, being series of
clicks, interspersed with harsh. entirely
inarticulate, gutteral sounds. They are
strange looking creatures. diminutive in
size, singular in movement, bestial of fea-
ture, and strongly suggest the connecting
link between man and monkey. If they
can get no better food, they will eat snakes
and reptiles, and they make kind of cake
out of dried locusts which they pound be-
tween stones and knead into shape. They
are cunning, and not without courage.
They hunt wild beasts of divers sorts, even
the lion, toward which they creep on their
bellies. (keeping to leeward, so that he
may not get their scent, ,)till within short
their tiny, poisoned arrows into vital
part, and SO sIay him. In hunting the
ostrich, they contrive to opproach behind
screen formed to look like one of these
birds, until within arrow-range, and kill Il
number of them. The Bushman is very
revengeful, and easily takes offense, often
without the least cause. Not infrequently
he hamstrings whole herd of cattle be-
cause the the owner has angered him wit
tingly or unwittingly. The Dutch Beers
in the vicinity of the Cape of Good Hope
are 50 afraid of him and his poisoned ar
rows that they do not hesitate to shoot him
down as they would rabid dog whenever
they have an opportunity. He is not de-
void of intelligence, and might be civil
lized, it would seem, but no effort in this
direction has yet been made. His treat.
ment has been of kind to render him
still more savage.

How TO DEAL WITH RATs.-We clean
our premises of these detestable vermin by
making whitewash yellow with copperas
and covering the stones and rafters of the
cellar with thick coat of it. In every
crevice where rat might tread VIC put
crystals of the copperas and scattered the
same ia the corners of the floor. The
result was n perfect stampede of rats and
mice Since that time not football of
either rats or mice has been heard about
the house. Every spring coat of the
yellow wash is given to the cellar, as a
purifier rs well us II rat eXterminator and
no typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the
family. Many persons deliberately attract
all the rats in the neighborhood by leaving
fruits and Vegetables uncovered in the
cellar; and sometimes even the soap is
left open for their regalement. Cover up
everything catablo in the cellar and pantry
and you will soon starve them out These
precautions joined TO the service of good
cat will prove as good a rat eXterminator
rs the chemist can provide. We never
allow rats to be poisoned in our dwelling;
they are so liable to die between tho walls
and produce much annoyance.

VEGETABLE MILK.-Among the cXhib-
its III the French exposition were several
TASKS of vegetable milk, sent there by the
Venezuelan government. These have been
carefully analysed by Nj Rousslngault,
and in II paper descriptive of the results

is made that this fluid, in its constituent

matter, sugar. ca cine, and phosphates;
but the relative proportions of these sub
stances are such that the fluid has all
the richness and nutritive qualities of
cream. NJ. Roussingault says that this
vegetable milk was spoken of by Hum
boldt, who, in his travels in South Ameri,
ca. had several opportunities of tasting it
and Of Witnessing the methods adopted
by the natives for collecting it. The trees
of which this is the sap grow upon the
sides of mountain chains in Venezuela
The Indians go each morning to the trees
nearest to their settlements and cut in
them deep incisons, from which the milk
pours out in such quantities that in an
hour or two quite Il large vessel is filled
with the fluid. This is taken back to the
village, and forms staple article of food
for both old and young. 1t is singular
that the rare virtues of this plant have
never before been made public; but now
that they have been, it will be stranger
still if some effort is not made to extend
their usefulness. AS long us cows milk

LIGHT READING.-People clamor for
light reading. Whatever is instructive is
dull, dry, horrid and uninteresting. Well
there is indeed an infinite supply of light
reading in Sunday school libraries, in
society novels, in hashy newspapers. 1t
is everywhere, on the news stand, in the
parlor, in the chamber. A reading gen.
GRAFTON is reading prodigously for mere
amusement or for immoral excitement,
and what is the result? The keeper of II
penal institution said, the other day, that
the majority of the lads locked up under
his care became vicious from the reading
of light, cheap, stories in papers filled with
pictorial illustrations of crime. And par
ents. in the city and in the country, inteli-
gent and religious parents, too, allow their
children to drink from these polluted fount-
aims with seeming unconcerm. They sow
to the wind and are surprised when comes
the whirlwind.

Into the gloom of the deep, dark night,

Darts this creature of steel and steam.
Awful dangers arc lurking nigh,
Rocks and chasms arc near the track.
But straight by the light of its great white eye
1t speeds thro' the shadows, dense and dark
Terrible thouqhts and fierce distress
Trouble its mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and shoulder the hidden fires,
Coupled ever with might and power.
1t hates, as the wild horse hates, the rein,
The narrow track by vale and hill;
And shrieks with cry of startled pain,
And longs to follow It's own wild will
Oh. what am but an engine, shod
With muscle and flesh by the hand OfGol,
Speeding on thro' the dense, dark night,
Guided alone by the soups white light
Often and often my mad heart tires,
And hates its way with a bitter hate,
And longs to follow its own desires,
And leave the end in the hands of fate.

o, human engine Of blood and bone,
