A QUEER HoUsB.-An eccentric Eng
lishman has recently built house in
the Quarter Tivoli for the residence of
himself, his wife and eight children,
which is the talk of all Paris. It is
circular, and has neither door nor win
dow externally. The approach to it is
from the ground floor on to the roof
by means of ladder, which is moved
up and down by machinery similar to
that of drawbridge. There is only
one floor, and that contains eighteen
apartments, more or less small in di-
mensions, looking into the center,
which is lighted from above by glazed
cupola. One stove for all these rooms
is in the middle, and in summer its
place is to be occupied by an exquisite
parterre of flowers. A circular bal
cony, open to all the apartments, sur
rounds this space. The motive of this
oddity is, of course. known only to the
author of it, but everybody can see that
two points are gained by Immunity
from taxes on doors and windows, and
a perfect preventive of any attempt at
burglary.

Reading Servants.

There are many women who COM
plain if their housemaids show fond
ness for reading, even in moments of
leisure; but they could hardly find the
kind of service they like in the SER
want who cannot read. Did any of you
ever notice the difference between the
educated and the uneducated house
keeper? The one brings all her in
telligence to bear upon her work, the
other works with stolidness that be-
trays her sluggish brain. If all SER
want girls were educated, one would
save money even at higher rate of
wages than by employing uneducated
women. One of IKE First business
houses in New York, known as we'll in
Europe as in this country, furnishes
books, teachers and apparatus for a
thorough instruction of ali their en-
ployes in tue common branches and
the rudiments of science and mechan-
les, requiring them to give an hour
daily at recitation, for which they pre-
pare out of work hours. No deduction
is made because of this hours absence
from the work room or on account of
instruction and school books. The
house gets its return from outlays
of this sort from the increased skill
and intelligence of its employees. If
the house mistress can feel and take an
interest in the substantial improve
ment of her domestic help and make
them sensible of it, she will have a
basis for expectation that they in turn
will be conscientious in their regard
for her interests and her rights. In all
stations of life intelligence is to be
praised.

Mrs. Bellingham held her heart
in n momentary grasp of chagrin
and amazement. Augustus cheeks
blanched to such a whiteness that
it was painful to imagine the agita-
ton that could have caused it; then
the two women of the world rose
equal to the occasion.
Indeed" said Mrs. Bellingham,
"what a charming surprise! And
the dear child is actually here?"
Actually here" he said, looking
at Augusta, land waiting for the
welcome my wife deserves"
L am delighted" she murmured,
and then smiled down the horrible
distress that had threatened to over
come her.
And that was the result of the
mistake about the telegram.

"What mistake can there posi-

enough-'Mrs. De Bruse Belling-

Augusta looked thoughtfullv at

Perhaps he won't be SO terrible,
after all, mamma? Couldn't you
manage TO keep him in his room
most of the time, and let Bessie

Mrs. Bellingham uttered a little
shrek of dismay.

"Well, no, mamma. But I should

You should think nothing about

aged; and, Augusta, he actually
wears the same suit of clothes wear

and he plasters it tight to his head
with horrid pomatum. He wears
red and green crayats; his hands
and face are freckled, and you could
not keep him from going wherever
we went, and poking into the par
lor to be presented to the company.
He visited here once before, years
ago, and declare it almost killed

rsUCKEE RIVER SALMON.

At q recent meeting Of tho San Fran
cisco Academy Of Sciences. among the
contributions was one Of considerable
interest to this State. as showing that
salmon Of the land.locked variety can DO
successfully p~ropagated in our rivers,
which, as is well known. have NO outlet,
simply running eastward from the noun
taips. and disappearing in broad lakes
or "sinks." The contribution men
toned was q genuine salmon caught in
winnemucca lake. produced from eggs
which were placed in Truckss river
about four years ago by b. ID. Rsdding.
California Fish Commissioners. who pre-
sentsd tho contribution. Governor
Stanford and Charles Croker. the well
known railroad masnstes were the insti-
gators Of the experiment and expended
the sum Of $1,000 in 1t. Its success
would indicate that by judicious atten-
ton the waters Of the Humboldt, Carson
and Walker rivers could be with equal
facility stocked with this valuable food
fsh. Tho Reno Gd,ette speaking Of this
matter says:
This Is the second salmon so far reported
a. having been caught in the waters OF the
Truckee or ito lakes. The success OF the
experiment Is. however. assured. Not
until the progeny Of those now in these
waters shall have reached maturity, can
the fish become sufficiently numerous to
allow Of their frequent capture. They are
now comparatively few in number aud
must be dispersed over . wide area. But
when they do get shick-what sport there
will DO then.

Silrer State, Mprch q.
I. P. Weaver, who left here last May
for the Yankee Fork country, arrived
here yesterday. He says that 30 far as
groupings and rich gold and silver bear.
ing quartz indicate, there are at least
three good mines at Bonanza City,
namely: The Custer, which carries gold
and silver, and the Charles Dickens
and Montana, which bear gold sIclu.
sivsly. The quartz from the gold bear.
ing mines Is being worked In arastras,
and the owners OF the Custer contsm.
plate building . sixty stamp mill to re.
duce ore from that mine next summer.
The country Is heavily timbsred, but
the seasons are short and the snow fall
very deep in the mountains, The road
from Challis to Bonanza was blockaded
with nj the 20th OF December last,
since which time the mails have been
carried on snow shoes between those
places, as neither mules, horses nor
oxen may be driven over the deep snow.
He thinks next summer will be much
better for miners than last. Then there
was q rush Of prospectors. many Of
whom I'D no means |; now there Is con.
siderable capital invested In the mines,
and labor will be in demand az soon as
the roads are open. Wood River, q new
mining camp some soventy.Avo miles up
the Salmon river from Bonanza City, Is
attracting the attention Of prospectors,
and Mr.. Weaver is Of the opinion tha,
there will be . rush there in the Spring.
The ores in that section are base, and
will have to DO smsltsd, but the mines
are said to DO extensive and fuel ia
plenty.
