A Rurning Mountain.

The Panama Star a1sf Herald says:
We learn that the eruption of the Fuego,
the largest volcano in Guatemala, was
preceded by earthquakes of considerable
violence, the theater of whose operations
was confined to the country surround
ing the volcano, within a radius of some
twenty or thirty miles. In Antigua,
Amatitlan, Palm, Petapa and several
other points, the shocks were of such
violence us to occasion serious alarm
among the inhabitants, and caused
them to abandon their houses for several
hours. With the beginning of the ex-
plosion, however, the earthquake period
ended, and the people in the streets OF
the various pueblos were able to wit
ness in tranquility the splendid appear
ance of the burning mountain. During
the morning of the day succeeding tue
day of the eruption the pueblos on the
Costa Grande, to the northward OF the
volcano, were shrouded in gloom, and
Tor some time after sunrise people in
offices were compelled to employ arti-
fetal light to carry on their labors.
Ashes and dust fell in gceat quantities at
many miles distance, and people who
were at too great distances from the
volcano to witness the explosion were
for some time in doubt as to their
origin.

"You have had it ALL" she replied
" 1 found it out in Florence before it
was too late"
"Too latei" he repeated, and the
words were a half groan. 6 1t is too
late, Isabel, for any happiness for me-"
A long silence fell between them as
they walked on. She was first to break
it, and her lips were very white before
she spoke.
"Ishould tell you Harry, what is true
that my love is stronger than your
sense of disgrace and poverty; that
can only be happy"
Her voice broke. She clung to him
with q sort of despair. His hand
closed softly over hers that trembled on
his arm.
Isabel, with your help I believe 1
can be a man again."
The warm spring sun dazzled the eyes
of those who faced it on the avenue,
else they could not have failed TO notice
that in these two faces, as they passed,
was q joy born not altogether of the di.
vine significance of Easter day, but of
human and happy love as well.

Pork Making.

A correspondent oft London Miller
describes his visit 10 a Chicago pork
packing establishment as follows:
The place where l was to witness the
prosecution of one of the greatest of the
industries of the latter city was Union
stock yard, where / arrived by street
car at 8 :05 A. M, and was introduced to
one of the pig killing establishments.
The animals to be operated upon are
driven up an incline, for which, if they
suspected to what fate it was the intro
duction, they would have no inclina-
tion. This leads to large pen, from
which they are driven into smaller
one, where man is placed for the pur-
pose of slipping a chain on one of the
hind legs of the unsuspicious porkers,
which are hauled to q position whence
they slide to the sticker, who dispatches
them while hanging. The stuck pig is
then passed on to a man who unhitches
the leg, and the animal falls into the
scalding tank, which holds twenty at q
time, and three men are then engaged
stirring the carcasses up with long
poles, so that the bristles which are to
be removed are acted upon by the scald-
ing water. At the end of the tank there
is a sort of scoop which the pigs slide
into, and are lifted out of the water to u
bench, where they are subjected to the
scraping and shaving process by the
active hands of q dozen men. They are
then passed to a functionary by whom
they are decapitated, after which they
are cut open and disemboweled by
other practitioners, the division of labor
principle being carried out there to the
letter. The cutting up process follows
the whole operation, taking less
time than have taken to describe it..
A pig is killed and made ready for the
market in few minutes. At the
Messrs. B. F. Murphy packing company
they now employ 2l0 men, have q
twenty-four horsepower engine and
four fifty horsepower horizontal
boilers, eleven lead tanks, eight feet by
six, and three twenty-four feet by six.
They kill 1000 pigs a day, and in win
ter twice that number. After beng cut
up the pigs are salted ana put in ice
houses.
/ also visited one of the cattle-killing
establishments, where the work OF
slaughter is conducted with equal dis
patch, the mode of killing being the
cutting of the spinal cord al the back of
the head by means of a steel pointed
spear sharpened somewhat like drill,
the animal falling instantaneously and
without a struggle. Every part and
product of the animals, may mention,
is utilized, nothing here being allowed
to go to waste.

Humboldt and the Lunatic.

"Great wits are sure to madness near
allied" and a quaint anecdote, culled
from Humboldt's Wanderjahre, aptly
demonstrates how readily even so keen
an observer as the great German traveller
may mistake a genius for lunatic.
During one of his many sojourns in
Paris, Humboldt, who took deep inter-
est in the mysteries of mental alteration,
conceived a desire to converse inti-
mately with some incurable maniac, and
requested one of his scientific friends,
an eminent mad doctor, to give him the
opportunity of meeting one of his more
remarkable patients.
A few DAYS later he received an inVi-
tation from the specialist in question to
supper, aud on his arrival at his friends
house found two strange gentlemen
awaiting him, neither of whom was
formally presented to him by his Am
philryon. One was an elderly gentle
man, of grave demeanor, dressed i'll
the height OF the prevailing fash
ion, by no means talkative, and
manifestly devoted to the pleasures
of the table. The other was n
comparatively young man, extremely
excitable in manner. with long dis
heveled hair, ill-made clothes, and so
exuberantly voluble that he all but
mOnOpOlized the conversation through
out the evening, although humboldt
himself was one of the most loquacious
men alive. The Withholding person
displayed extraordinary versatility and
restlessness in his talk, which teemed
with paradoxes, and dealt with an in
finite variety of subjects. Humboldt
listened to his brilliant ramblings with
absorbing interest, and upon taking
leave of his host at a late hour of the
night, expressed his gratitude for the
psychological experience afforded him,
observing that "the madman had
amused him beyond all measure"
How is thstP" exclaimed the doctor
"you scarcely exchanged a word with
him all the evening"" Il mean, of
course" rejoined Humboldt, "that ex-
citable young man. "You are alto
gether mistaken; the madman was that
quiet, decorous old gentleman" And
who, then, was the person ! took to be
dementedP" "That person, my good
friend, was M. Honore de BalzaG, the

As We Grow Old.

AS we grow old our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant;
We gropo, as though in darkened ways,
Through all that is existent;
Yet iar-oll days shino bright and clear
With suns that long have faded,
And faces dead seem strangely near
To those that lie has shaded.
As we grow old our tears nre few
For friends most lately taken,
But iall-as falls the summer dow
From roses lightly shaken
When some chance word or idle strain,
Tho chords of memory sweeping,
Unlock the foodgates of our pain
For those who taught us weeping.
AS we grow old our smiles are rare
10 th1se who greet us daily,
Or, il somo living iaces wear
The looks that beeme1 80 gaylr,
From eyes long closed--and wo should smile
In answer to their wooing,
Tis but the past that shines the while
Our powor to smile renewing.
As we grow old our dreams at night
Are never OF the morrow;
They come with vanished pleasure bright,
Or dark with olden sorrow;
And when we wake tho names we say
Are not OF any mortals,
But OF those in som long dead day
Pissed through hie's sunset portals.

A Wonderful Spring.

There is an immense spring ever on
the West Dolores, about six miles from
Rico, Just across from the head of Horse
gulch and near the base of Calico peak,
that has an ebb and flow that is quite
singular. The basin is about twenty
five feet in diameter and in the morning
is always full of water, but in tue even
ing it is perfectly dry and empty. The
water is cold and apparently of good
quality, and the basin gradually fills to
Overlooking when it rs slowly recedes,
eiierVescing violently all the time. The
discovery was made by a prospector who
passed it in the morning when full (the
basin was full, we mean), and on return
ing Mt night it was empty. He watched
il with the result mentioned above. 1t
is exciting considerable curiosity in that

TIMELY TOPICS,


There was recently sold at auction in
London piece of freehold property in
Park lane, Mayfair, covering 2,I00
square feet, for S62, 500. This is at the
rate of 81, ,250, 900 per acre, and shows
the value of land in London. The
Drexel purchase of the corner of Wall
and Broad streets, in New York city,
few years ago, was S250,000 in gold
for 675 square feet, or at the rate of
S2l,000,000 per acre. Gold was then at
twelve per cent. premium, and the
price paid was the highest ever given in
any part of the world.
1t is estimated that $4,000 men and
women are employed in Philadelphia
in the manufacture of clothing, and
20,000,000 suits are made every year.
Cutting machines are gradually finding
their way into all of The large manufac-
turing establishments of the city. The
machines have capacity for cutting
nearly 1900 garments in day of twelve
hours, or about equal to the combined
results of the labor of eight men. But
tonholes also can be worked by machin-
cry at the rate of l60 per hour, while by
hand it would take the same period to
complete three holes. By the cutting

ness can be easily cut through. The
establishment where cutting and but
tonhole machines are used turns out 100
suits ready for wear inside of twelve
hours.
A new grievance is brought against
the ailantus tree, which forms such q
large class of the shade trees of New
York city. The poisonous quality of its
blossoms has long been known, causing
the air to be not only extremely un-
pleasant, but unhealthy, during the
blossoming period. 1t is ascertained by
examination that many of these trees,
to all external appearance vigorous
and healthy, are in the interior entirely
rotten. This accounts for the we'll
known fact that during our violent wind
storms the aliantus is generally the first
tree to fall by the fury of the storm. The
safety of the passerS-by seems to require
the removal Of such trees.
A French publication contains a tabu-
lar statement of the production of wheat

United States produces 422, 200, 900
Algeria, 25, 200, 900; Canada, Egypt and
Australia, l6, 800, 900 each. This coun-
try produces nearly one-half of nearly
all supplied by the world after France,
Russia, Germany and Spain are ex-
cluded. The principal exporting coun.
tries are given as the United States,
81, 100000 to l49,OO0,OO0 bushels; Rus

others aggregating $4,000, ,OCO to 46,OolO,-

Great Britain thus appears from these
figures to take about one-hAlf of what
other countries have to sell.

A Hean of Trouble.

A popular Macon minister recently
passed the night thirty miles below
Americas with backwoodsman whose
house contained only two rooms. The
family, however, consisted OF twenty
one, though, owing to dance in the
neighborhood, only seventeen of the
children were at home. The minister
spent the night with the father ana
seven sons in one room, while the old
lady and ten daughters occupied the
other. In the mornInga n junior member
of the family, in response to an applica-
tion for n washboWb brought him an
old rusty tin pan, and after the face
toilet was complete, hunted up about
seven teeth of an old tucking comb for
him to arrange his hair with. During
the progress of this important ceremony
the following conversation between the
two took place:

The results of soundings over the bed

while on either side the water has a
| depth of from 5000 to more than 3,450

"I know that my Redeemer liveth I"
The triumphant words rang out over the
hushed congregation in q voice which
brought smothered ejaculation to Har-
rison Kings lips, and he raised his eyes
to see the face OF the woman who had
sung them a year before, on another
Easter, when he felt that for him the
world had died. He had wandered into
the great city church glad of anything
to divert his thoughts, for though Sun
daY had come to be the only day of
leisure in his hard working life, it
brought no rest for the soul or body.
He had not yet wiped out the disgrace
that stained his name, or in any measure
grown reconciled with the inevitable.
But Isabel-what did it meanPN
He waited for her at the foot of the
stairs with dogged determination to find
out what he most wished to know. He
would at least allow himself that much
qualification.
She came down slowly, apparently
paying no heed to the attentive and
voluble tenor at her side, and they met
face to face.
