A Farmers Hinder.

A Scotch farmer, living near the sea-
coast. saw the shore on the morning
after a storm strewn with jelly-fsh. He
knew in a sort of general way that fish
made good manure, and supposed that
one sort OF fish was as good as another.
So blessing Providence for dumping
such a lot of fertilizer 10 handy to his
farm he used all his men and horses
that day in carting load after load of
jelly-fsh to his fields.
Great were his expectations Of large
crops. But a neiehbor, who had a little
"book larnin'," blighted his hopes.
you've been watering your fields in
stead of manuring them" said the
neighbor, who knew that the jelly-fsh
is largely made up Of water.
The farmer rose "a sadder and n wiser
man" from that chat. For he learned
that a Jelly fish of two pounds contains
bnly thirty grains OF solid matter, and
in spreading four tons of the fish upon
his fields he had added but sixteen
pounds of fertiE Sing matter thereto.

words OF Wisdom.

Men of the noblest dispositions think
themselves happiest when Others share
their happiness with them.
Open your mouth and purse cautiously
and your stock of wealth and reputa-
tion shall, at least in repute, be great.
IT'S an i'll thing to be ashamed Of
ones poverty; but much worse not to
make use of lawful means TO avoid it.
The eason why so few marriages are
happy, is because young ladies spend
their time in making nets, not In making
cages.
Men are sometimes accused of pride,
merely because their accusers would be
proud themselves were they in their
places.
II may serve as a comfort TO us in all
our calamities and Affections, that he
who loses anything and gets vision by
it, is a gamer by the loss.
The qualities of your friends will be
the qualities OF your enemies; cold
friends, cod enemiesi half friends, half
enemies; fervid enemies, warm friends.
Gluttony is the source Of all our in
firmities, and the fountain Of all our
diseases. As a lamp is cboked by a
superabundance of ola fire extinguished
by excess of fuel, so isthe natural health
OF the body destroyed by Incorporate
diet.

Stranger" said the stage-driver,
this was how / found out her speed
l was driving alongside the railroad
track just as a big load Of hotel furni'
ture star ted. The freight Car wouldn't
hold it all, but they managed to squeeze
everything in except a long bar-mirror,
which they tied to the side of the car.
The mare saw her reflection in the glass
and thought it was another horse
squirting for the lead. You couldn't
have held her back with q steam wind
lass. She just laid back her a r and
snorted along like a twenty-inch shell.
The passengers all began to get excited.
They rushed out on the platforms ana
began to make bets. The conductor
stood up on the seat and began to sell
pools. The engineer pulled the throttle
valve wide open and tore along at
ninety-fve miles an hour. Soon the
mare was abreast of the cowcatcher.
At San Bruno we had half q mile the
lead. Near the Six-Mile house the
train was so much ahead of time that 1t
fell through an open draw and ever
lastingly got smashed up-seventy-two
killed and 1899 wounded. II was pretty
rough on the passengers, but then we
distanced the train, bet yer life. About
a month after ] sold that mare to her
present owner for sec, OO0."

A Hill OF Silver,

While a whaler during the last fishing
season was lying in a small bay at the
mouth of one Of the rivers which empty
Into the ocean on the coast of Alaska
n great many of the natives came on
board to trade or sea biscuit, of which
they are very fond, and finally induced
the captain to 60 up the river and fish for
salmon, with which the river was said to
be alive. A boat was fitted out, manned
by four men and the captain, and they
went up the river fifteen miles, where
they went ashore at the base of a hill
about five hundred feet high, up which
the captain and chief of the natives
climbed, while the crew and natives
fshed. The summit OF the hill was
nothing but an extinct crater, in which
the captain noticed that the rocks re-
sembled iron after it had been melted
He undertook to knock off a piece, but
could not do it, as it seemed to bend, not
break, under repeated blows with the
head of a boat ak. He then struck it
with the blade of the ak, and chopped
it off and took it in his hand. The sur
face where the ak had cleaved its way
through the rock he saw was as soft
nearly as lead, although it did not
shine. He thought then it was a metal
of some kind, and kept it. Specimens
Of similar character were picked mp by
others of the crew and taken to this
city. The piece which the captain
chopped off the top Of the hill with the
ak has assayed $4,000 pei ton in silver,
and the loose rocks picked up went as
high as $275 silver, per ton. A COM
pany of Oaklanders, to whom the rock
was submitted, have chartered the
whaler and the crew to make a trip in
the spring to the scene of this remark.

Take Care of Wills.

In the British house of lords Lord
Brougham once mentioned two some
what remarkable facts, showing the
necessity Of having a safe place for the
deposit of wills. The first case was one
in which one of his noble friends, as a
devisee, gained $4,000 a year. How
the first lost it, and the last gained 1t,
was by a will being found in a rusty
old box, in an old travelling carriage,
and which, therefore, might have been
very naturally lost by accident or de-
stroyed from ignorance. The second
case was one also in which some Of his
noble friends were concerned, and the
sum in question was no less than $780,
900. This sum would have been en-
tirely lost to the purposes for which 1t
was intended, if the inquiries relative to
the existence of a will with respect to
it had been instituted in the winter in
stead of in the suIcmer. The will was
searched for everywhere, but could mo-
where be found, until at last 1t was DIS
covered In a CRATE, and stuffed like a
piece o. waste paper through the bars;
II Il had been winter instead Of summer
in all probability when the fire had been
lighted II would have been destroyed.
