"If 1 had not told the housekeeper,"

all laughed and acknowledged that, If
Rosa La Plante had not been the most
amiable and gentle girl in the world,

thought much about her.
am glad to say that this sudden
prosperity, that might have fostered
vanity and idleness in some, has had
no such effect upon our heroine. She
is kindness itself to the poor, generous
and sympathizing toward all, tender
and loving to her friends and adopted
parents, and so simple and unaffe cted
are her that she seems to
have been permanently installed as

A Daring Ride.

The following story, told by a cattle
raiser of Oregon, would seem unwol-
thy of belief where it not that
ranchmen are so often VIGOROUSLY
reckless of life and fond of counting
danger for the reputation to be gained.
A year or so since there was a
"rodeo" out on Lost River, Lake
county. Ranchmen had gathered for
a circuit of seventy miles to claim and
brand their young cattle, and when a
Gordon of men had surrounded a large
band, among which was a Spanish
bull, a dispute arose about a ''mallet-
head" or calf that had escaped the
spring-branding; the discussion grew
warm, none of the stock-owners being
able to set up a valid claim or establish
an undoubted title.
At last, in a spirit of bravado, a ran
cher proposed that whoever would ride
the bull without saddle or halter
should be the declared owner of the
calf. There was yell of approval, but
not a general stampede of volunteers,
for taurus was in an i'll. humor, and his
foaming mouth and bloodshut eyes
gave token that whoever rode him
would have a ride as wild as Mazeppa's
and one that would not end so well.
AT last a ''yaquero" named Prick
accepted the challenge, and the bull
was Immediately lassoed and held by
a lariat around horn and foot. Dis
mounting his horse the vaquero
fastened his long rowelend spurs Sc
curely, tied a handkerchief around his
head, approached the Infatuated AMI
NAL, and grasping the tail In his
hands, sprang lightly on, setting the
spurs deeply in his TANKS as he settled
securely in his seat. The lariats We're
slackened the bull gave a roar of rage
and terror and flung his head to the
ground; but the rider had his back to
| the horns and a hrm grip on the tail,
and kept his seat. Another roar hat
shook the ground, a wild plunge, and
the now maddened bull shot out across
the sage plain with lightning speed,
his plucky rider twisting the tail that
to him was a sheet-anchor until the
bellowings were lost in the distance.
For over a mile and q half the race
continued amid the excited cheers of
the vanquero's comrades. Occasion
ally the bull gave a desperate plunge
through a heavy clump Of sage in the
attempt to rid himself of his tormen-
tor, but the long rowels only chung
more firmly to his TANKS. Sometimes
the animal and rider were hidden by
fluctuations in the ground, and bets
were ever made that Frick would be
thrown and gored but at last the bull
exhausted FROM sheer fright, fell, and
the plucky vaquero, stepping lightly
off returned to claim the prize which
was unanimously awarded.

Why He Weakened.

In Detroit the other night a police
man saw a man hanging around the
entrance of 8 Michigan avenue hall in
a queer sort of q way, and he asked
him If he belonged to the order then
in session up stairs. The man replied
that he did and the officer inquired
"Then, why don't you go up?'
"Well 1 WAS thinking of it,"

"Oh, no."
"Aren't afraid of anybody"

The Dispensary.

TEA, COFFEE, AND CHOCOLATE.
The editor of Science thus discusses
the value and effects of the above
beverage :~"Chocolate," he says, from
its large proportion of slbumen, is the
most nutritive beverage, but, at the
same time, from its quantity of fat,
the most difficult to digest. Its aro-
matte substance, however, strengthens
the digestion, A cup of chocolate is
an excellent restorative and invigora-
ting refreshment even for weak per
sons, provided their digestive organs
are not to delicate. Cardinal Rlchelleu
attributed to chocolate his health and
hilarity during his later years. Tea
and coffee do not afford this advan-
tage. Albumen in tea leaves and
legumin in coffee berries are represen-
ted in very scanty proportions. The
praise of tea and coffee as nutritive
substances is, therefore, hardly war
ranted. Tea and coffee, though of
themselves not difficult of digestion,
tend to disturb the digestion of btu
minous substances by precipitatiDg
them from their dissolved state.
Milk, therefore, If mixed with tea or
coffee, is more difficult of digestion
than If taken alone, and coffee alone
without cream produces digestion
after dinner by increasing the secre-
ton of he dissolving juice. The vola'
tile oil of coffee and the empyreumatic
and aromatic matters of chocolate
accelerate the circulation, which, ON
the other hand, Is claimed by tea,
Tea and coffee both excite the activity
of the brain and nerves. Tea it is said
increases the power of digesting ths
impressions we have received, creates
a thorough meditation, and, In spit,
of the movements Of thought, permits
the attention to be fixed upon a Ger
tain subject. On the other hand, /
tea Ia taken In excess 1t causes an in
creased irritabifity Of the nerves
characterized by sleeplessness, with
general feeling of resllessness anC
trembling of the limbs. Coffee, also
fftaken in excess, produces sleepless
ness and many paneful effects yer,
similar to those arising. from tea
drinking. Coffee, however, produce
a greater excitement, and a sensation
!, of restlessness and heat ensues Flo
thorwirg off this condition fresh air
, the best antidote."

The Population of the World

The present increase OF the popula-
ton of England from excess of births
over deaths is about one-and-a- half per
cent. A year; and Proctor computes
that If the world had started with n
million inhabitants 5000 years ago ian
estimate probably far too low ard
had made a uniform increase at that
rate, the earth's present population
would be 23l 800, O0O, 900, 0OO, OO0, coo 900,
OOO, 600, 900, 900, 900. Even ifthe worlds
populations had been only ten 1900
years ago, and the same rate of In
crease had been kept up that is now in
progress in England, the number
would now be so great that l22 900 900,
900, such globes rs this earth would
only give standing room for the vast
pc oulation, supposing the entire sur
face Of each globe to be occupied.

JUNE DAY.

'Tis s pleasant day in June.
No clouds their shadows cast;
A perfect but a transientday,
Too beautiful to last.
For scarce the sun OF morning
Hath reached the zenith quite,
When rise high up the storm-clouds,
And day becomes as night.
1 watch the lurid lightning
Thro' the sable cloudlets dart;
And / listen to the thunder
That awes the stoutest heart.
But I feel no fear at seeing,
Nor hearing tremble then
Isimply think how like this day
My own brief life hath been.
AS fair had been It's morning,
As beautiful Its dawn:
But soon the clouds of trouble rose,
And ' DER the sun.
Bnthope my breasti is cheerlngi
When weary of llfs's care
There'll come a day OF sunshine,
In answer to my prsy'r.
The mists which shroud the valley,
Shall roll at last away;
The long night, dark and dreary,
Precedes the brighter day.
And ever thus I'm hoping,
For something vet beyond:
For something better. nobier
Than aver I navel found.

May Queen at Barrett S
Crossing.
BY SOPHIE E. EASTMAN.

There never was another such q
place for neighborhood quarrels as
down at Barrels. The junction had
always been proverbial for the number
of its resident lawyers, and there were
people malicious enough to suggest that
this latter fact accounted for the for
mer. This, however, might not have
been the case. Tenterden Steeple was
not the cause of Goodwin Sands. But,
whatever quarrels were Imminent,
there was one person whoneyer shared
them and whom all parties united in
treating with respect. Jason Williams,
or Squire Williams, rs he was gener-
ally called, had become known to
them at first simply as a prosperous
merchant from a Deighroring city, a
man whose hand seemed by some hid
den magic u tIansmut all that he
touched into gold. His argosies al
ways came safely into harbor and the
devastating fires that swept round
him on either side had, rs yet, left
him uDscathed. de had come here
years ego, to prepare a home for his
wife and children among the hills and
vaies and miniature lakes of Barret's
Crossing. Ciovernook was the name
by which his little Rose had christentd
the lovely lawns where hammocks
swung idly from the trees, tennis and
croquet balls wooed to gentle exercise,
and white winged sail boats floated at
their moorings, looking in the distance
as if some regal swan had alighted on
the silver sheen of the lake. 1t was a
place full OF delightful surprises dim
and shadowy alleys, overhung with
thickly branching trees, and ending
suddenly in concealed summer-house,
or a parterre of bright colored flowers,
or leading by devious paths to mimic
waterfall. There were rustic bridges
here, rare exotics there everywhere
something to reward ones search.
But the place had grown strangely
silent now. Sometimes a white haired
man, with a sad, gentle face, walked
quietly in and out the labyriath paths,
There might or might not be with
him the pale, sorrc~ful wife but the
children's voices were hushed forever
nay, rather, were turned to sweetel
melodies and diviner harmonies thar
it is given to human lips to utter
What to him were gold and argosiei
now? He had exulted once that tn,
might of his wealth had opened al
doors before his dear ones. He hat
forgotten that the gate of HEAVIER
might also stand sjar. He weariet
himself no longer to be rich. Now ant
then he threw aside the busy cares o
his city life, and buried himself IN thu
dim recesses of Clovernook, but with
that ever-present sense of loss tina
none but an intense nature like hi
could suffer. And SO, in grief an'
pain, his days went on, waiting pa
tiently for the time to come when tn
fretted river sheuld follow the dimp
ling streamlet and lose itself in tn,
boundless sea
