Camping Out.

The editor of the Buffalo Ne,Us has been
camping out, and tells his experience to his
readers. He took with him one wife, three
fishing rods, two babies and a shotgun, with
the necessary clothing, kettles. pans and
the rest Of the paraphernalia. His tent was
pitched next to that of newly married
couple on one side, and that of two elderly
maiden Sisters on the other side. "Elysium
was fool to that camp" says the editor,
and we can. well believe it. 'rThere were
shade trees, brooks, moons and poisoning in
abundance, and when we all retired for the
night, there was not heart unmoved by the
solemn stiffness of the scene" But the
editors tent was too near that Of the newly
married couple. The young man was read
ing Tennyson out loud to his bride by the
light Of kerosene lamp, three kisses to
each line. The old maids on the other side
kept whispering: "Amanda, suppose man
was to come to our tent |" There was a
wild shrek, and everybody rushed out in
his night clothes, thinking that one of the
ancient virgins had been bitten by a rattle
snake OF course she hadn't. A cow began
believing for her lost calf, and everyone
swore 1t was a bear. The men got out with
their guns and killed one of the wagon
horses. The tent fell down about three
o'clock in the morning, and heavy shower
Of rain about daybreak soaked everyone to
the skin. The oditors family all have the
bronchitis, and he announces that his tent
and complete apparatus for camping ont
are for sale. U,

Rocky Mountain Sheep.

This animal Is clothed with wool, and Is
much larger than the domestic sheep. Both
male and female have horns, but they differ
in size and shape These sheep occupy the
broken clay hills or stony eminences Of the
Rocky Mountains. They are seldom found
on the, plains, unless en- route for, some
other quarters. They have great ability to
climb the towering peaks, and to bound
over the ravines. and they are 80 extremely
wild, that the most vigorous hunter Is often
baffled in his efforts to take them. Some
of the peaks of these mountains rise from
six to fifteen hundred feetabove the prairies;
and yet, these sheep find their way to their
tops and pass freely up and down. They
tread paths around the peaks from twelve
to fifteen inches wide, and thus procure
their food, and protect themselves from the
wolves, which live on the plains below.
A hunter may see sleeps horn just above
him, as 1t seems, but he proves to be far
away, by the winding path which he i1ust
travel This Rocky Mountain sheep Is gre
garious. He fights furiously, in the man
ner Of the common ram. 1t would seem a
little dangerous for both parties, If they
stand upon lofty summit. These sheep
visit caves In the mountains. They are
mild and gentle, like our sheep, until fired
upon and frightened. After this, they arc
timid and wild. It is not known that any
of this species has ever bean brought to
Europe or the Atlantic shore. ftasSi +.

TURNING GRAY.

Iife's sands are running fast away,
The buoyant step Of youth is gone
The falling hair is turning gray.
And Time seems now to hurry on
More leetly than In days Of yore
Before the heart become it's prey-
Before twas saddened to the core
Before the days wien we are gray.
Yes, tuning gray. Age comes like snowA-
AS still-and oarves each careworn line
Its wrinkles OH the brow will grow
TIL, hair with silver streaks will shine
The eyes their brightness lose. the hand
Grow dry, and tremulous and thin
For life, alas ! is quickly spanned,
And death It's gates soon closes In.
All turning gray. We fain would hide
The sigh how long with Time we've beon-
Those deepened wrinkles aide by side.
Cut by the SORROWS we have seen
For feeble beats tho hearts as years
More thckly cluster Oh our head
AS autumn rain drops hang like tears,
On some fair flower that's nearly dead.
Like perishcd petals from tho flower,
Our hopes and widest joys are laid;
Burn only for a day or hour
Sweet gambos by the fnncy played.
Az age comes OH, we long Tor rest,
AS saints near shrines will long to pray
But still We love that time tho best,
Before the hair is turning gray.

The Queen Lily.

A Towering plant which is among the

leaf and flower attain, but for the many
peculiarities of Its structure, is tho Wc-
toriG Regia, Or Queen Lily, the only
known specimen of which in the United
States is now growing in pond especially
constructed for it's propagation at the Gold
en- Gate Park conservatory, San Francisco,

water lilies and its circular floating leaf,

size Of eight feet in, diameter and covers an
area Of flfty-six square feet, or over six
square yards When mature rim about
two inches high surrounds the leaf, per-

Out and at Home.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harris were taking tea
with their neighbors, the Joneses, in a
friendly way. Mrs Harris came over ear
ly, bringing her crochet work, and the Ia
dies had pleasant chat before the gentle
men came in to supper. They were both
from their business offices, but just as fresh
and lively as if there was no such thing as
business cares, those worrying ones which
often darken mans brow as he enters the
door of his ''ain fireside."
"Your husband Is always 80 jolly AMI
goodnatured. It must be quite pleasure
to live with him." SAID Mrs, Jones to Mrs.
Harris as they went to the table. .

at home now and then. Es.n..1

How the Japanese Keep Meat Fresh.

{, The Japanese method of keeping
meat fresh n hot weather consists In
placing the raw flesh In porcelain ves-

quickly coagulated and forms protec-

water. on is then poured on the SUR
