railway, the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific, has just issued very complete
map of the United States, corrected to
date and giving all the new places upon
the roads in Colorado, Arizona and New

a postal card or other communication.
The man or woman going west of Chi

should by all means take this road, it
beng now the acknowledged favorite, as
it is the model railway. We cannot do
better, in closing, than to say send him

{ At a Dinner Party ,

At one OF New York's fashionable
restaurants an incident occurred quite
significant of the popularity of one of
that city's old merchants. The party,
comprising some so or 60 gentlemen OF
wealth and prominence, all piled their
hats upon table, and upon leaving it
was difficult to distinguish them without
close examination. One says mine Is a
Knox hat; another responds, so is mine;
and this was the response of all but two
of the entire party. That is what we call
an endorsement of Knox by large ma
jority. and only shows the result of hon
est d"aling, good goods, and leading
styles. Knox crowns more heads than
any hh. Ger in the world.

Table Corn

With frequent paintings through
the season, a dish of boiled green
corn can be on the table daily, after
the first mess, until late in October.
Is it is deservedly regarded to be
4 e of the most desirable things
at can be enjoyed, there is no rea-
why people with small plot
land should not indulge in it.
there is now an early variety OF
sugar corn for the first planting that
we have found to be excellent. 1t
is called the Extra Early Crosby
Sugar" A single planting of. this
is sufficient, to be followed by
"Stowell's Evergreen Sugar. which
is the best variety for the general
crop we have yet found, and have
raised it for about twenty-five years.
A planting should take place exery
10 or II days, and the season will
require from 6 to Z crops altogether.
The first can be put in now, and
followed at these periods into June.
This will give daily supply until
frost in the latter part of October

Among the yarns told Mark BY
Coon was that of the Jumping
FROG" and it struck him IS being 50
comical that he determined to write
it up in good shape and swhen ne
returned 10 the ellis cabin, Mark
set to work upon it. lie also wrote
some sketches Of lie in the mines
for the San Francisco lL1rniag GILL
Mark did not think SO much Of the
frog story after it had received the
finishing touches as he did when he
first heard it. He gave some other
sketches the preference and sent
them to the Cal and other papers.
Steve Gillis, however, declared it
was the best thing he had written,
and advised him TO save and pub
lish it in a book Of sketches that
was talked Of. 4 literary turn hav-
ing thus been given TO the thoughts
Of the inmates Of the ellis cabin, a
month passed without q return to
the business Of pocket mining.
While the days were passed by
Mark and his friends in discussing
the merits of the Jumping Frog,
other prospectors were not idle. 4
trio of Austrian miners, who were
out in search Of gold-bearing quartz,
happened upon the spot where
Marx and Jim had dug into their
ledge It was but q few days after
they had Tetreated from the spot IN
the pouring rain. The Austrian
prospectors were not a little aston
ished at seeing the ground literally
glittering with gold. Where the dirt
emptied from tho sack had been dis
solved and washed away by the rain
lay some three ounces OF bright
quartz gold. The Austrians were
not long in gathering this, but the
speedy discovery Of the notice for
bade their delying into the deposit
whence it came. They could only
wait and watch and pray in the
hope that the parties who put up
the notice would not return while it
still held good. The sun that rose
on the morning Of the day after the
Twain ellis notice expired saw the
Austrians in possession OF the
ground, with q notice Of their own
.conspieuously and deiantly posted.
The new owners cleaned out the
pocket, obtaining little over 81
500 in a few days. Had Mark
Twain's backbone held out q little
longer, the sack of dirt would have
been washed and the grand discov-
cry made. He would not then have
gone to Angels Camp, and would
never have heard or written up the
stery of the Jumping Frog
the story which gave him his first
boost" in the literary world. Had
Mark found that gold he would have
settled down as q pocket miner. He
would never have given up the
chase, and until this day, when gray
as badger, he would have been
pounding quartz as Jim -Giiliss
