A Moorish CotFee Stand.

Leaving the market-place we passed
through crumbling old archway into
shady lane shut in by high walls. Here
q Moorish coffee stand was established
III u shanty run up against the inside of
the arch, and benches were placed along
the walls of the lane for customers. 1t
was an amusing study to watch the
keeper of that coffee stand at work pre-
pairing the cup of coffee ordered for me
by Simon. He was a little gray, ,wrinkled
man with bent figure, clad in a COM
plete suit of fame@color, which gave
him a semi-diabolical aspect to eyes
familiar with the opera makeup Of
Gethe's Mephistopheles. His oddly
shaped kettle, too, placed on very
small stove level with his clin, had
something alchemical about it. Seen
in the gloom of the shanty, the fancy
easily transmitted it from kettle into
an alembic for the distillation of un-
canny liquors.; and the patient, keenly
watchful face of the old Moor as he
ground the portion of coffee for the cup
and famed the flame under this alem-
bical kettle, would have made a very
fair model for a Paracelsus. Men might
come and men might so in the quiet
lane, passing from dust and strife of the
market, but this true artist went on
intently grinding the berries and fam
nlng the fire as if his earthly horizon
had been bounded by the wall of his
rickety workshop, and the whole duty
of man had been the brewing of good
coffee. After five minutes waiting the
powerful portion was put into my hand.
1t was worth waiting for. Black and
thick and strong, the sip of liquor in
the tiny cup half filled with grounds
was more refreshing than quart of the
mawkish mixture hurriedly slashed into
ones cup by the breathless waiter Of a
Partisan cafe Temple Bar.

The Animal World.

A cattle drover near Chicago owns a
collie that is said to be a marvel. One
day bet was made that he would take
charge of thirty cattle, then in car,
all being unknown to the dog, as soon
as unloaded; that she would drive them
to his owners place, which was distant
two miles; that although it would be
necessary to drive the animals among
other cattle on the way the dog would
neither permit one of the strange cattle
to join his drove nor would he allow one
of his thirty to stray from its com
panions. The dog won.
In the courthouse tower of Norris
town, Pa, q flock of snow birds has lived
for over five years, yet with every stroke
of the bell announcing the hours as
they passed the birds have never ceased
to leave the tower in the greatest conster-

the air until the last stroke has fallen,
when they at once returned to the tower.
Thus every hour has their rest been
disturbed during the entire period
without, however, causing them to seek
another lodging. The bell weighs nearly
1000 pounds.

Oh, sweet, sweet, sweet the swallow sung,
From the nest he builded high;
And the robins raptured echo rung
From his leafy perch close by.
Oh, sweet, sweet sweet, - rang the joyful tune
Oh sweet, sweet, sweet is the world in June
oh, sweet sweet, sweet" the maiden said,
As she twined her hair with flowers;
From bird and blossom the echo sped
Through the long and blissful hours
"oh,sweet, sweet, sweet, rang the joyful tune

"0h,sweet sweet sweet, the swallow sung
On the summers dying night;
And "sweet, sweet sweet, the echo rung,
AS tho robin plumed for fight;
"0h, sweet is the summer when just begun,
And sweet sweet sweet, when her life is DONE +,
But the maiden, never word she said,
As she donned her weeds of woe;
The bird that sung in her heart was dead,
With the summer Of long ago;
The sweet, sweet, sweet, of the bloom and bird
AS idle mocking her dull ear heard.
Oh, sweet sweet, sweet is the whole glad earth,
When the summer days are here;
Aud sweet, sweet, sweet is the time of dearth,
Though the autumn days are drear;
Ii only deep in the heart is heard
The gladstone song of the singing bird.

Words of Wisdom.

Nature is content with little, grace
with less, but lust with nothing.
To give pain is the tyranny, tc make
happy the true empire of beauty.
Divine vengeance comes with feet OF
lead, but strikes with hands of iron.
He who bears much from others, finds
that they, after while, bear much from
him.
The habit of saving is hard in the ac-
quiring but, sometimes, too easy In the
retaining.
The envious man sees no means OF
equaling the person above him, save by
pulling him down.
God hears the heart without the
words, but he never hears the words
without the heart.
Agriculture is the foundation OF
manufactures, since the productions OF
nature are the materials of art.
Gods laws were never designed to be
like cobwebs, which catch the little
flies and suffer the large ones to break
through.
Length of days is wisdom's right
hand blessing, typical of eternal life;
but it is in her left hand that are riches
and honor.
Ignorance and deceit are two of the
worst qualities to combat. 1t is easier
to dispute with a statesman than a
blockhead.
Events are not determined by the
wheel of fortune, which is blind, but by
the wheels of Providence, which are
full of eyes.
Make a good beginning of living in
! youth for your after life will be too
/ busy about its own concerns to return
| to Iudiments.

bilious man has as many masters rs

No one puts TO sea in a storm neither
should you rebuke man in the midst OF
anger When the waves are at rest Is
the time to begin a voyage; and when
the mans passions are calmed is the
opportunity to remonstrate with him.

But sometime, ON some gracious shore
Thou shalt lie still and ebb no more.

Platinum Working.

The only platinum worker in the
United States is Joaquin Bishop, of Su-
gartown, Chester county, Pa. The AS
sociation of Mining Engineers recently
made an excursion TO the works of MIR.
Bishop, to see his working of the in
tractable metal. Mr.. Bishop, who gets
most of his supply of metal from the
Ural mountains. in Russia, has been
working platinum for forty years. In
1845 he took a premium, but at that
time the demand for platinum was SO
small that it only occupied him one day
in the month, using the metal principal
" for rivets TO fasten artificial teeth.
Before the engineers Mr.. Bishop melted
a piece of platinum with the ease that
a plumber melts lead The intense heat
used may be imagined when it is known
that steel file held in the blast burned
like piece Of wood. The Russian
government used platinum in it's coin
age until 1864, when about S2,500,000
worth of platinum coins had been
struck.

Fishing in Lapland.

The water is very clear at Hamerfest,
in Lapland; you may see everything that
goes on among the fish. A few feet
down you may see the young cod snap
ping at your hook, if you have one;
little lower down the coalfish, and the
huge plaice, the halibut on the white
sand at the bottom, in other places the
starfsh, as large as plate, and purple
and green shellfsh of all sizes. The
plaice is taken in the following manner:
In calm weather, the fisherman takes a
strong, fine cord, to which he has fas-
tened a heavy spearhead, like whale
harpoon. This he holds ready over the
bow of the boat, while another person
paddles it forward slowly. When the
fish is seen at the bottom the boat is
stopped and the harpoon is suddenly
dropped upon him, and thus the fish is
caught. In two hours the fishermen will
get boatload. The halbut are caught
with hooks. They sometimes weigh five
hundred pounds, and if drawn up care
lessly will overturn the boat In many
of the mountainous districts the rivers
swarm with trout, the habit of which i:

er rocks in the bed of the stream, ventur
ing out only to feed at night Men
each with heavy hammer, will enter
these waters, and strike one or two blow
on the stones, when the fish run from
their lurking places partly stunned an'
are easily caught.-Sea World.
