PETRIFIED FISH.
IWalla Walla Statesman.

q. w. Driver, in recent explorations
in the foothills OF the Cascade range,
discovered in wide ledge OF conglom-
crate and trap rock the petrified remains
of thousands OF tish-salmon, smelt, aud
cod. In attempting to remove speci-
mems Of each kind with implements at
hand, they were broken and proved to
be as hard and white as flint on the in
side. The elevation above the sea level
is fully fifteen hundred ieet where the
petrificstious were found, and Mr.
Driver assures US that perfectly formed
fish can be found in countless thousands

EARLY HISTORY OF WHEAT.

1t is difficult in the present day to
realize the fact that wheat was at one
time unknown in America; yet prior
to the discovery of this continent by
Columbus there was no cereal in
America approaching in nature to
the wheat plant. 1t was not until
1880 that the wheat crop found it's
way into Mexico, and then only by
chance. A slave of Cortez found .
few grains of wheat in q parcel Of
rice and then showed them to his
master, who ordered them planted.
The result showed that wheat would
thrive on Mexican soil, aud to-day
one of the fuest wheat fields In the
world is near the Mexican capital.
From Mexico the cereal found its
way to Peru. Maria D'Escobar, wife
of Don Diego de Chuaves, carried q
few grains to Lima, which were
planted. the entire product being
used for seed for several successive
crops. At Quito, Ecuador, . monk
OF the order of St. Francis, by the
name of Fray Judos Bixi, introduced
the new cereal, and it is said that the
| Jar that contained the seed is still
preserved by the monks of Quito.
Wheat was introduced into the pres
| ent limit of the United States o,n-
temporaneously with the settlement
OF the country by the Engltsh aud
Dutch,

PECANS.
Ter published at Austin, Texas,

A paper published at Austin, Texas.
says: Heretofore the pecan crop, as q
source OF revenue, has attracted but lit
tie attention. No care whatever has
been taken OF the trees, in fact, IN many
localities, trees 80 and 100 years old
have been cut down solely to obtain the
nuts. Before the civil war the exports
IRON the port OF Indianola alone were
reported at 500 600; now it Is estima-
ted that the amount annually gathered
exceeds S2,000,00O in value. With
proper caro- OF the trees and sysemltic
| gathering OF the crops, it is believed
that SIC. .0O0. .009 could be realized al nu
ally. Millions OF bushels are lost every
year by falling upon the ground and
rotting, or being devoured by hogs,
squirrels, turkeys, and other ANIMALS an6
birds. Except IN lnclosed pastures nc
claim is made by the owners of the lant
to the frui,age OF the trees. Mexican
and negroes are pecan gatherers and il
some districts white chiidren.

The Garden of the Gods-Manitou.
Colorado.
By WILLIAM ALLEN BuTLER

By WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER.
Beneath the rocky peak that hides
In clouds its snow -decked crest,
Within these crimson crags, abides
An Orient in the west.
These t,nts of Tame, these myriad dies,
This eastern desert calm,
Should catch the CLEAN Of Syrian skies,
Or shade OF Egypt's palm.
AS if to bar the dawn's Fl rst light
These ruby gates are hung;
As II from Sinai's lroWning height
These riven tablets nung.
But not the Orisnt's drowsy gaze,
Young empires opening lids
Greet these strange shapes Of earlier dayl
Than Sphinx or Pyramids.
Here the new west its wealth unlocks.
And tears the veil aside
Which hid the mystic glades and rocks
The red man deifteC.
This greensward, i, girt with tongues of nam'
Win spectral pillars strewh,
Not strangely did the savage name
A haunt OF gods unknown.
Hard by the gentle Manitou
His healing fountains poured;
Blood-red against the cloudless blue,
These storm-tossed Titans scared.
Not carved by art, or mans device.
Nor shaped by human hand,
These altars, meet for sacrifice.
This temple, vast and grand.
With torrents wild and tempest blast.
And fierce volcanic drss,
In secret mOulds, has nature cast
Her monoliths and spires.
Their shadows linger where We tread,
Their beauty hlls the place:
A broken slrins-its votarles fed
A spurned and vanished race.
Cnteuched by time the garden CLEANS,
Unplucked the wild flower shines,
AND the SCARED suMmit's rifted seams
Are bright with glistening pines.
And still the guileless heart that waits
At natures feet may find,
Within the rosy, sun-lit gates,
A hidden glory shrined,
His presence fell to whom, In fear,
Untaugbt, the savage prayed.
And, listening in the garden, hear
His voice, nor be afraid

Aspirations.

Our aims are all too high; We try
To gain the summit at bound,
T. hen we should reach It step 6y STEP,
And climb tho ladder round BY round,
Re who would climb the heights sublime,
or breath the purer air OF life.
n Lst not expect to rest in ease.
But brace himself for toll or strife.
We should not in our blindness seek
To grasp alone for grand and great.
Disdaining every smaller good
For trlnes make the aggregate.
And il cloud should hover o'er
Our weary pathway like pail,
Remember, God permits them there,
And His good purpose reigns Ger all.
Life should be full ofearnest work,
Our hearts undashed by fortunes froWni
Let perseverance, conquer fate,
And sserif seize the victor's crown.
The battle 10 not to the strong,
The race not always to the feet;
And he who seeks to pluck the stars,
Will loose the Jewels at his feet.
