ASLEEP.
ROSE TERRY COOKE.

1 N'SsSA~ $1,000
In summer time how fair it showed =
My garden by the village road,
Where fiery stalks of blossoms glOwed,
And roses softly bh1shed;
With azure spires and garlands white,
Pale heliOtrope, the SUMS delight,
And odors that perfumed the night
Where'er the south wind rushed.
There solemn, purple pansies stood,
Gay tulips, red with floral blood,
And wild things fresh from field and wood,
Alive with dainty grace.
Deep heaven-blue bells of columbine,
The darkly mystic passion vine,
And clematis, that loves to twine,
Bedecked that happy place.
Beneath the strong, unclouded blaze
OF long and fervent summer days
Their colors smote the passing gaze,
And dazzled every eye.
Their cups of scented honey-dew
Charmed all the bees that DER them flew,
And butterflies of radiant hue
Paused as they floated by.
Now falls a cloud of sailing snow,
The bitter winds of winter blow,
No blossom dares it's cup to show
Earth folds them in her breast;
A shroud OF white, a virgin pail,
Is slowly, softly hiding all
In vain shall any sweet wind call
To break their silent rest
My garden is vanished dream,
Dead in the waning moons cold beam,
Clear icicles above it CLEAN;
And yeti know not how
Ny flowers will hear the dropping rain
When spring reneweth hill and plain,
And then it shall be mine again;
It is Gods garden now.

Gold Galore.

The steamer California recently
arrived at San Francisco thirteen DAYS
from Sitka bringing the sensational
news that all Alaska is affected with
q virulent gold fever. Some two
months ago genuine quartz groupings
were discovered near the Token river,
about eighty miles north Of Sitka.
The indications of rich lode were 50
strong that the discovery created an
excitment which has increased with
every breath Of news from the Eldor-
ado. Owing to the great depth of the
snow which prevails at this season Of
the year, it is impossible to7work the
mines, so that the imaginations Of
the gold seekers have full play, and
the reputation of the lode grows
apace. To judge from the quality
Of the ore brought by Capt. Corroll,
Of the California, the Token district
is bound to prosper on it's own merits.
The specimens OF quartz brought
from the Vint mines by the captain
have assayed as high as $4,000 to the
ton. The ore, to speak in terms not
technical. is of Whitish yellow, pro-
fusely sprinkled with sulphuret. The
rock is rich enough if found in large
quantities to make bonanza prince
of every man in Sitka, and every man
in Sitka appears to have become I'M
bued with the idea.
AT present there are about fifty
men on the gold field, and it is proba-
BILE that every man has a claim staked
off, though Capt Carroll says that but
eleven claims have been located.
The mines can not be worked before
the end Of March, but while waiting
for the snow, to melt the adventures
will lay out their town.
Alaska has not always been regard
ed as a promising region for gold min
ing, but the discovery of a SO, 600 lode
of quartz within eighty miles Of
Sitka has never been possibility that
strongly recommended itself to PROS

The Time Had Come.

Three or four years ago when there
was grip into the potato market
there lived near an interior village in
New Y ork a farmer, named Peters.
He raised good crops, paid his debts,
and was down on rings of all sort.
The price Of potatoes kept going up
and up, and the old farmer grew un-
easy. He came into the village every
evening to see how the market stood,
and although he never said much It
was evident that he would burst his
hoops pretty soon il things continued
on that way. At length the climax
came. One evening the old man and
his son had a warm corner in a grocery
when citizen entered with a news
paper in his hand and said
This New FORK daily says that the
price of potatoes is certain TO advance
again before the week is out
WhatH' exclaimed Peters, IAN
other advance in taters %
es, the Lord only knows what is
to become Of the poor if this potato
ring isn't bursted.''
The farmer arose, buttoned his old
white Overcoat clear to his chin,
brought his fist down hard on the
cheese-box and sternly said:
ssThe time has come Eve stood it
and stood it as long as can, and now
I'm going to act! George, we'll go
home and get ready to throw fifty-six
bushels of peachblows on the market
tomorrow, and bust that wicked ring
all to thunder!'

Here we find that in 1915, Mr.. Wat
son predicted within about 100000 of
what the population Of the United
States would be in 1860, or forty five
years after the recording OF his
prophecy! AS Gen. Walker says, in
speaking Of this matter, it almost
staggers credulity. THAT man a
mere human being says Gen, Walk
Ell, ''should be able to predict fifty
years i'll advance the number of inhabi-
tants in a rapidly growing country
within traction Of per cent. seems
wonderful almost beyond belief
Had the war not interviewed, it is be-
lieved that Watson's predictions
would have held good in 1870 and 1880.
But in 1870 he was ahead of the cen

100000. The losses Of the war, direct

but Watson's figures, almost absolute
ly accurate up to the war period.
would show it to affect us the present
year to the extent of nearly 5,0OO,O0O.
That is, had there been no war, the
present population ofithe United States
would be about 100000, Watson
predicted that the population in 1900
would reach l00,000,O0O, but Gen.
Walker does not believe it will be
over about so, 100000.

Through clouds and tears,
To laugh and sing,

The Turkey.

Many conjectures have been hazarded
as to how the very inappropriate name
of 6 Turkey has been applied to q
bird which we know was introduced
from America. / believe the truth
of the matter to be this: Several, if
not most, of the medieval biologists
/ may particularly cite Belon and
Aldrovandrus- hopelessly COMPOUNDED
the turkey and the guinea fowl under
the name, proper to the later, Of Me-
leagris. Gesner must, indeed, be ex-
cused, for he clearly saw that the
turkey was not the Meleagris,
and finding it had been written Of as
Gallus peregrinus or Pavo Indicus, he
accordingly lin 1861 coined for it the
names Gallopavos or Pavogallus,
which is used almost Unfortunately.
But the confusion was not confined
to naturalists. We have in Cooper's
edition of the g Bibliotheca Eliot4, .
published in 1912, ss Meleagrides,
byrdes which we do call hennes Of
Genny, or Turkie hennes, the ear
Hest use of the latter name with which
I am acquainted. It is therefore OBJ
yious that "Turkey hen,'' was at first
synonymous with Guinea hen" AS
the birds became commoner and bet
ter known, the confusion was, of
course, gradually cleared up, as the
name ssturkey . Glove to the bird from
the new world not, I think without
some reason, for by its constantly re-.
peated call-note, which may be syH-
abled ssTurk, turk, turk, = it may be

SEAWkRD.

The long surf whtens up the bay,
bringing the yellow sand with pearl;
anu trenuious the ripples sway,
Sway to and fro, and flash and curl.
They whisper softly to her feet
Who fingers lonely on the sand,
Still looking seward, with her sweet
Dark eyes o'ershadowed by her hand.
Her loosened hair is backward blown,
And brightens in the MONDAY light;
And the fresh landward breeze has thrown
Soft color on her cheeks cold white.
Is il to watch the seabird shoot
On sunny wings along the foam,
She fingers with reluctant foot,
All lonely from her cottage home?
Is il to watch the waters fret
And toss their snowy spume-dakes free,
Her tender loDg-lashed eyes are set
So often to the windy sea?
Is it to mark the mellow hue
Where the deep heavens and ocean meet,
The golden melting in the blue
SO softly, that she stays her feet?
There is a bark with snowy sail,
And pennon luttering in the wind
Bright foam about her bows a trail
OF broken waters far behind:
She leans before the breeze, she flies
Bird-ike, with pinions widely set
And now III seaward-ioOking eyes
Heart-weary shades no longer fret.
Sail on fair bark, amid the spray =:
Sail on. and safely homeward run:
Break on, soft ripples up the bay:
And know, sweet maid, thy vigil done.

SWEET APPLE PICKLES,

Sweet apples make delicious pickles;
peel and quarter them, boil them until
tender IN vinegar and water; to one
quart Of vinegar add two pounds of
sugar; heat the vinegar and dissolve the
sugar IN it; add cloves and cinnamon.
and pour over the apples while hot.
CAULIFLowER WITH SAUCE.
Boil large caulihower, tied netting,
IN hot sailed water, from 25 to 80 minu-
ties drain; serve ina deep dish with the
flower upward and pour over it a cup
OF drawn butter in which has been
stirred the juice OF lemon, and half
teaspoonful of French mustard, mixed
up well with the sauce.
AN APPETIZING DISH.
One Of the most appetizing dishes that
can be placed before a hungry family.
and which may tempt the appetite of
one who isn't hungry, is made in this
way: Take one dozen ears Of corn, CRATE
1t, stir IN four eggs, one-fourth of cup
of Hour, a little salt, and fry in hot lard !;
if the corn is not milky add little milk
or cream. This is next to fried oysters.
TO DRY PUMPKINS.
Take ripe pumpkins, pare, cut into
small pieces, stew soft, mash and strain
through a colander, as if for making
pies. Spread this pulp on plates, in
layers half an inch thick; dry it in a
stove oven which should be kept at so
low temperature as not to scorch it.
In about day it will become dry and
crisp. The sheets thus made can then
be slowed away in dry place, and are
always ready for use, either for pies or
stewing. The quick drying after cook
ing prevents the souring which is al
most always the case when the uncooked
pieces are dried, while the flavor is much
better preserved and the after cooking
dispensed with. On going to use, soak
portions of the article in little milk
over night, when 1t will return to as de-
hclous pulp as if made of pumpkins
when fresh.
TO REMOVE FRUIT STAINS.
In the season Of fruits, the napkins
used at table, and often the landker-
chiefs and other articles, Will become
stained. Those who have access to a
good drug store can procure a tottle of
Javeile water. Ii the stains are wet witA
this before the articles are put into the
wash, they will be completely removed.
Those who cannot get Javelle water can
make solution of chloride of lime.
-Four ounces of the chloride of lime is to
be put into quart of water in a bottle,
and after thoroughly shaking allow the
dregs to settle. The clear liquid will re-
move the stains as readily as Javelle
water, but, in using tnis, ohe precaution
must be observed. Be careful to thor
oughly rinse the article to which this
solution has been applied in clear water
before bringing it in contact with soap
When Javelle water is used, precau-
ton is not necessary, but with the chlor-
ide Of lime liquid it is, or the articles
