A GHOST STORY.
What Two PrOspectOrs Claim to Have
Seen In q Cave ON Boulder Greek.

seen In OAve ON BOulucr Cfeeks
During the recent snow-storm two
prospectors crossing the rugged
mountain peaks, from the East Fork
of Salmon River TO the North Fork of
Wood River, were looking for shell
tered spot to camp, when they noticed
an opening in cliff near by, and
with the intention Of camping under
the projecting ledge of rock, they
went up to it. On arriving at the en-
trance they were startled at beholding
a great chamber in the solid rock,
about 40 feet wide, and without any
visible end. After supper they secured
pitch-pine torches and entered the
cavern, which, in the bright light,
was grand sight. The walls were
studded with quartz crystals which
glistened like diamonds, and the roof
which assembled from the mouth to a
dome shape, was 80 feet high and of
similar formation to the sides. With
some caution they proceeded, and
travelled 800 yards over an almost
level floor. The roof and sides were
near together at this point, but
by the ght of the torches
they could see still greater opening
beyond, with a roof about 80 feet
high, and a large lake below. They
scarcely spoke above their breath, as
when they spoke the sound of their
voices were so often echoed that it
seemed like the shouts of multi
tude Of men. On reaching the edge Of
the lake they examined the surround
ings. The sides Of the chamber were
of lime formation, and presented
many colors, but principally blue,
yellow and red-as if mineral stain
ed, and so smooth were the walls
that the cavern seemed to have
been decorated by an artist. Mas
sive stalactitcs hung from the walls
some nearly reaching down to the
waters of the lake, while rising from
the floor Of the chamber up through
the water, We're very beautiful anc
equally massive stalagmites. The
light of their torches was lost in tn,
darkness beyond, but they are posi-
tive that around a bend of the LAKE
they could see what looked like til.
skeleton of human being. TIL,
lake was perfectly clear, but the,
, could see no bottom, although the,
:. knew there must be one, as th
, stalagmites were fixed. They wer
about to walk around the lake, whe
, a sound as of thunder greeted thei
ears and Immediately their hair stoo'
on end as, just ahead of them, wer
now plainly visible two large eye
which shone like locomotive head
lights. Both men were trans6xc
with terror, and would doubtless b
there yet gazing in dumb fright at til
apparation had not the terrible nois
been repeated when, with one impulse
. both men ran for out doors so fast tina
they lost their hats. On reaching tn
:. mouth Of the cavern they lost no tim
:, in moving their camp two mile
!, further. Although they have see
nothing more of the apparition, the
!. are not over their fright yet, as tn
least noise startles them.
;, The prospectors on Boulder Cree
: are talking of getting up a party
thoroughly explore the cave, when tn

"Sap-Suckers."

In reply TO q question from ID. A. c.,
we can only say in regard to those
troublesome birds that orchardists and
ornithologiis have discussed the "Yel.
low Bellied Woodpecker" pretty
thoroughly in Vermont, and the sum OF
our information seems TO be that he
makes those holes in the bark of young
and thrifty birch, poplar, cherry, fir and
apple trees, not directly TO get insects,
but for the purpose OF eating the insects
which are attracted by the sap that oozes
from the wounded bark. A number OF
careful observers report that the bird,
having thus tapped number OF trees,
flies from one to The other, picking mp
his insect prey. As one set or row OF
holes dries up, he makes another, until
a number of rows are made. Great
harm is done to apple trees in this way
and birches and poplars are sometimes
killed above the injury. The holes are
made In healthy bark, and we have
never found the naturalist who could
tell what kind of insect II Is that exists

The Compost Heap.

The Massachusetts, 'l0ughman,
among other things, talks suggestively
about the compost heap, saying that il
is good plan to have one for the bcne-
fit of the farm. The compost heap may
he made OF road.scrapings, The scour-
ings Of bitches, the cleanings of ponds,
clippings from banks and hedge rows,
scrspings and sweepings of iarm-yard
garden refnse, house refuse, and indeed
all sorts of rubbish may be added TO q
compost heap. Even weeds will decay,
aud then help to swell the material fer
enrichine the land. The heap should
occasionally be covered over with q
layer of lime, and layer of salt now
and then Is also good addition. These
materials are beneficial In themselves,
and keep weeds from seeding on the top
of the heap. The compost shonld be
turned over from time to time, and
when we'll mixed the land may BIZ
dressed with 1t either In spring or au
tumn.

Alcohol and Health.

| dare say people would like to know
what health is, and should like eX-
cecdingly TO be able TO tell You, but
though have been twenty-five years q
dortnr 10 not know TO this day what
health is, but | will try to indicate it to
you. / cannot define it because it is in
detlnable. Health is that state of body
in which all the functions of il go on
without notice or observation, and in
which existence is felt to be pleasure,
in which it is kin of Joy to see, TO hear,
to touch, to live. That is health. Now
that is state which cannot be benefit
ed by alcohol in any degree. Nay, it is
a state which in nine times ont OF ten is
Injured by alcohol. 1t is a state which
often bears alcohol without sensible in
jury, but repeat to you, rs the result
of long-continued and careful thought,
it is not one which can in any sense be
benefited by alcohol. 1t can bear 1t
sometimes without obvious injury, But
be benefited by il never. go further
than that. do not pretend to speak 10
You as total abstainer, but | hope all
the rising generation will be total alb

there is a certain state of Joy of exist.
ence-for cannot call il anything else
"a sense j which one feels what a
pleasure il is TO look out, for instance,
upon the green fields, to hear pleasant
sounds,to touch pleasanLhands, TO know
that life is satisfaction; this, | say, is
a state which in my experience is always
in some way or other injured by alcohol.
This is q state in which sort of little
discord is produced by alcohol. This is
a state in which, sooner or later, the
music goes ont OF tune under the con-
tinuous influence OF alcohol DR..
