SOWING FLOWER SEEDs.-In sowing
flower seeds a mistake Is frequently
made in sowing them too deep; indeed
it is a very common error, and ac-
counts for many failures in the germi-
nation of flower seeds, wherein the
florist or scotsman is unjustly blamed.
The rule recommended of covering
seed only their thickness Is a safe one
to follow. Some do not require to be
covered, cut when sown all that Is re-
quired is to press tile earth down with
board. This buries the seed into the
ground sufficiently to ensure their
germination If they are sound. The
soil requires to be finely pulverized,
tor if it be lumpy the seeds fall between
them, and may dry up before sprOut-
ing. Balsams aud Zinnias, and other
medium sized seeds may be covered from
quarter to half an inch. We are re-
ferring now to the harder ANNALS, the
seeds of which may be sown where
they are to grow. AS we have said
heretofore, it is better to sow the seed
in boxes and transplant into the open
ground. for in that way stronger plants
are generally obtained that stand
drouth better and give flowers easier.
But the great majority of people do not
take the trouble te do this. When it is
done, when the plants are first set out,
they should be watered frequently in
dry weather. The ground needs to be
kept loose, so that the plants may re-
ceive the full benefit of the rain and

A Floating Island.
jacksonville (oregon) Sentinel.


Among the many natural curiosities of
this county it is not generally known
that there is floating island" Up in
the "Siskiyous," lying like pearl in the
great mountain chain, is Squaw Lake, a
beautiful sheet of water, now utilized
by a mining company for a reservoir.
For many years the lake has been a
favorite and delightful resort for fishing
parties, and contained nearly in its CEN
ter an island, comprising about an acre
of ground, covered with luxuriant grass
and the growth of willow and alder. 1t
was never dreamed that the pretty little
island was not part of terra firma; but
when the bulkhead across the outlet OF
the lake damned up its waters, the
island rose slowly until it had been ele-
waited fully sixteen feet above its original
level. 1t would be a question for the
naturalist. rather than the geologist, TO
determine the age OF this floating island,
as it is evidently made up entirely OF
decayed vegetation. Perhaps at some
remote period the roots of tree. uptorn
by a mountain storm and drifting out
into the lake, formed the nucleus from
which the island has grown; but II
seems singular that it should have
remained anchored and Interchangeable in
its position. The locality is much FIRE.

Isabella was attended by the Marquis de

Marchioness. The house took no notice

grandmetherly way, and even nodding
to some acquaintance in the audience.
The entertainment was completely and
sincerely Spanish in character. 1t was
all ballet, from first to last, not a word

sung in that low, monotonus chant which
is the most exciting Of all accompani-

scene little, plump woman gave all the

bull to rouse HIM to fury; then she came
out as picador and hurt him with her

AT present every room in this large hospi-

who had been considered incurable are now
rapidly recovering their health. We inter
viewed Mr.. j. O'Callahan, of Prescott,
Kansas, who had been afflicted with can

nearly lost the use of his lower extremities
We shall watch Mr.. Kasey's case with a
great deal of interest. Mrs. Esping, a

A Marvellous Mine.

Through parties who arrived day or
two since from Signal, Mohave county,
we have elcited the following facts in
regard to the celebrated Burro mine,
located on Burro creek, ten miles from
Signal: The mine is known to be twenty
feet in width, thousands of tons of high
grade ore on the surface. The ledge
crosses living stream of water, is within
two and half miles of wood, providing
all the Necessary articles for successful
mill operations. 1t is estimated that this
mine has in sight ore worth $500, 900.
The property is owned by Messrs. Rees,
Smith and Price, all good prospectors
and men who own valuable mining pro-
perty, still without ready cash wherewith
10 develop the Burro mine and put a
mill on the same. 1t is thing to be
hoped for by all that some gentleman
representing capital will see the great
merit of this property and negotiate for
its purchase, or at least put up reduction
works suitable for the treatment of ores.

The Tiger.

His whole frame is put together to
effect destruction. In cutting up tiger
you are impressed with this. His ten
dons are masses of nerve and muscle as
hard as steel. The muscular develop
ment is tremendous. Vast bands and
layers of muscle overlay each other.
Strong ligaments, which you can scarcely
cut through, and which soon blunt the
sharpest knife, unite the solid, free
playing, loosely .jointed bones. The
muzzle Is broad and short and obtuse.
The claws are completely retractile.
The jaws are short. There are two false
molars, two grinders above, and the same
number below. The upper carniverous
tooth has three lobes and an obtuse heel;
the lower has two lobes, pointed and
sharp and no heel There is one very
small tuberculous tooth above as auxili-
ary, and the strong back teeth. The
muscles of the jaw are of tremendous
power. / have come across the remains
of buffalo killed by tiger, and found
all the large bones, even the big strong
bones of the pelv1 and large joints,
cracked and crushed like 80 many wal.
nuts by the powerful jaws of the fierce
brute. The eye is peculiarly brilliant,
and when glaring with fury it is truly
demoniac. With his bristles rigid, the
snarling lips drawn back, disclosing the
formidable fangs, the body crouching
for his spring, and the little tail putfed
up and swollen, and lashing relentlessly
from side to side, each muscle tense and
strung, and an undulating movement
perceptible like the motions of huge
snake, a crouching tiger is sight that
strikes a certain chill to the heart Of the
onlooker. When he bounds forward,
with roar that reverberates among the
may labyrinths of the interminable
Jungle, he tests the steadiest nerve and
almost daunts the braves heart.
