And Justice, and mercy, and charity fair,

The MoQui towns are now in pre-
clse.Y the same state of preserva
ton as they were when described BY
the invading Spaniards, nearly 400
years ago. Assuming the Moquis
to be lineal descendants of the elf,
jewellers, how vast a time the old
canyon castles must have teen de-
serted even when the Moquis have
no knowledge of the grand homes
of their ancestors! Regarding the
age Of the Pueblos, they were said
by Coronado at the time of the
Conquest to look very old. Caste
nado records that the inhabitants
told him that the Pueblos were
older than the memory OF 700 years
That these ruins were known to
the Spanish invaders we have proof
in the journal of Don Antonio de
Olermin, written in 1861, where
mention is made that eighty leagues
di 'tant from their camp there were
Casas Grandss. Gallatin speaks of
them, and ascribes them to the Az

history of these people, who have
been swept away from their grand
cities, leaving nothing but the stony

A good story comes from Wood
stock, Me. A grocer there owns a
COW with horns of inferior length.
Some miscellaneous boys obtained
from the tanner a pair of castOff
horns which with a bit of cement,
they nicely fitted over the horns OF
the COW and lett her at milking
time to go home, which she did.
Her owner not only failed to recog
nize her, but actually used force to
eXpel her from the premises. The
village was searched in vain for
the missing animal, ana an adver-
tisement was inserted in the local
paper. Day after cay the stray COW
was turued away, until at last, she
refusing to obey the verbal order,
the victim of an innocent joke
seized her by the horns, which
came off, and the intruder recog-
nized his own property, for the loss
of which he had so sadly mourn ed.

cover the lines as you read. A
larger plate of the isinglass may be
employed. so as to cover the page,

book may be read in open sunlight
or by bright lamp light without ia

A Boys Vacation Letter.

A small boy was sent to the
country to board a short time ago.
He promised his mother that he
would write a good long letter, de-
scribing his trip and boarding
place, etc. A week went by, and
his poor mother was nearly dis
tracted when she got the following
interesting letter from him: 81 am
here, and l snapped my watch for q
pup, and he is the boss pup; and l
went in swimmin' fourteen times
yesterday, and a Teller stole my
pocket book, and l want some
money; and l shall bring my pup

PARTING.

Weep not that we must part
Paintings are short, eternity is long,
Life is but one brief stage,
And they that say love ends with life are
wrong.
List to thine own heart'sIory-
Love can not die.
What though so far awRyl
Thy thoughts will be with me, and with thee
mine,
And absence has no power
To lessen what by nature is divine.
Listen to thine own hearts cry
Love can not die.
Then weep no moro my love;
Weeping but shows thy trust in me is small.
Faith is by calmness proved,
For know this truth thou canst ct love at all
Unless thine own heart cry,
Love can not die ~

Witty Webb.

We have awful reports of the excessive
wit of Webb Hayes. An exchange re-
ports that recently at a grand reception
where the multitude were rushing up to
shake hands with Mrs. H., the sportive
Webb not having the fears of the mater
nal ferule before his eyes, pulled down
his hat joined the throng, and shaking
hands violently with his ma, congratu-
lated her on her great work in the tenn
perance cause. Now, it is not difficult to
discover in this move the fact that Webb
is dangerously funny. Indeed, the ques-
ton arises as TO whether or not he ought
to be at large. Suppose, with his ire
mendous possibilities, Webb should one
day conclude to be as funny as he can
Suppose he should suddenly forget his
great responsibility as the child of the
Administration and loosen his tongue at
both ends, and hoist the foodgates of his
wit and let it pour out like the tail race
of country saw-mill. 1t would result in
wholesale repetition of the fate of the
man who swallowed his tooth brush and
was tickled to-death. 1t is catastrophe
that must be nipped in the bud. Let a
civil service order at once issue restrain,
ing Webb, or let him be bound over to
keep the peace. No more of your titilla-

How to Utilize old Fruit Cans.

Perhaps one of the most appropriate
uses of an old fruit can that can be de-
vised is to make it contribute to the
growth of new fruit to fill new cans. This
is done in the following manner: The
can is pierced with one or more pin holes,
and then sunk in the earth near the roots
of the strawberry or tomato or other
plants. The pin holes are to be of such
size that when the can is filed with wa
ter the fluid can only escape into the
ground very slowly. Thus a quart can,
properly arranged, will extend its irriga-
tion to the plant through a period of sev.
eral days; the can is then reflled. Prac-
tical trials of this method of irrigation
leave no doubt of its success Plants
thus watered flourish and yield the most
bounteous returns throughout the longest
droughts. In all warm localities, where
water is scarce, the planting of old fruit
cans, as here indicated, will be found
profitable as a regular gardening opera.
