A Colorado Sunset.

Standing upon the margin of a lovely
lake in the bosom of the nesting
mountains above the beautiful village
of Georgetown, in Colorado, one can
see sunset more brilliant and beauti-
full than was ever looked upon in the
East, and which is only equaled by the
virgin reach of reddening light which
mellows into twilight shadows on the
plains. | saw it on summer evening
when all nature was hushed in still
ness. The fireflies shot through the
growing dusk like sparkling louries in
Egyptian night. Overhanging forest
and swart and blackened crag were re-
Elected in the green waters of the lake.
The sun hovered, as in fascinated
spell, above the mountain tops, while
rays of golden light, flushed with Grim
son peak and turret on natures battle
ments. 1t seemed to glow and expand
like an opening rose, until it became
full-blown, and cast its arrowy pencil
ings for miles across the sky like q
mighty flame. Then, as if ashamed of
its boldness, it drew Il veil of grayish
mist about its face and blushed beneath
it. The mist changed into cloud
shaped like crescent, with ragged
fringes hecked with gold, and in its
wonderful aspect recalled the legends
of Mohammed's banner, red and lurid
beneath Asian skies Even as / looked
it changed. The darkening scarlet was
transformed to ruby brilliancy. Long
lines of pallor whitened on the parti-
colored surface, side by side with gold
en- lances, which seemed to flash from
the glowing orb like dissolving rays.
The enamored sky for one feverish in
slant caught and mirrored all the colors
of the rainbow. Then again it darken
ed-fushed and paled-and drawing
the lowering draperies of the night
about it, sank out of sight. The stars
came out. The night-hawk poised on
swooping pinion, shrieked above the
forest solitude. The leafy murmur of
the moaning pines took up the refrain
and awoke the spellbound senses into
life and action. The charm was gone,
but the beauty fingered on the fancy
like beautiful memory.-On,aba Her

STRUCTION ofan EYE-Its sub
ssquent Removal by Surgical
Operation.
Mr.. Oscar Craigg was foreman in a cement
quarry at Rosendale, Ulster Co., n. Y. BY
an explosion one day in the quarry he lost an
eye--lost Ii totally, Under the impression
that IL was less serious the local physician
told Mr.. Craigg that his eye was not lost
wholly, but could be saved by treatment.
The experiment was tried and failed. Worse
remained behind, for he was in danger of
losing the other also, through sympathetic
inflammation. In this strait he consulted DIR.
Kennedy, Of Roudout, n. Y, who told him
the injured eve must be taken out to save
the other. To this Mr.. Craigg demurred, and
went back home in doubt. His local physi.
clan said: "Go to New York" To New York
tine patient went, and one of the most emin-
ent oculists in the country having looked at
the case, said: "You have lost one eye en-
tirely, go back and do what you can to save
the othe. Briefly, DIR. Kennedy removed
the ruined eye and treated Mr.. Craigg with
"Kennedy's Favorite kennedy" to build up
the system, and the result was successful.
DIR. Kennedy's great success as a Surgeon
is due TO the use of 'FaYorite Remedy" in
the after treatment.

"A mode has been described for de-
monstrating that yellow color can be
formed by combining red and blue.
This consists in mixing red solution
of ohromste of potash with blue solu-
ton of litmus, and, on filing it into q
glass cell of a certain thickness, the
light transmitted through it is seen to
be yellow. Plates of glass coated with
gelatine impregnated with chromate of
potash, placed side by side with plates
coated with galatine impregnated with

found however, that the eyes Of differ

A Chinese Slave.

Lee Mel Son and 500 Lin, China
man and his wife, living in Portland,
Oregon, have q little Chinese girl whom
they hold as their slave. The little
child has made complaints recently of
hard usage which she received from her
ltaskinaster. The authorities visited the
den and found her standing in cold wa
ter up to her ankles, trembling8au over,
as il in fit of ague. DIR. Watkinds
made an examination of the child, and
found that her hands were swollen to
immense proportions from the effects of
the chopsticks between which her I'm
gers had been tightly fastened, and
kept so for hours ut time for some
slight offense. Her legs from the
thighs to the feet, and her arms the
whole length, presented the appearance
of q boiled lobster. This discoloration
was caused by repeated applications of
q red-hot poker. The medical examin-
er counted on the legs alone fifteen
places where the torture had been ap-
piled. He is afraid the legs may have
to be amputated, as there is evidence of
gangrene. Her unnatual owners were
arrested and required to give each
$1,000 bonds for their appearance to
answer whatever charge of cruelty may
be brought against them, to be deter
mined by the Chicago Times.

An Indians Idea Of Farming.


One day, at the Yanktonian Agency,
located on the corner of Poplar Creek
and the Missouri River, besought n
cheif that he dicker with me for head
of lettuce and few punches of rndishes.
should say his farm was about fourteen
feet long by seven wide, and, looking
from the farm to him, 1t was difficult to
decide which presented the greater as
pect of fertility. But he WAS chief and
. man of land, and must be approached
with mingled respect and aims.
''No, comrade," he replied, with an
air of stately grace, ssthe Great Spirit
has hold of the other end of those
plants, and they don't come up till he
shoves them" (Not his exact lam
guage, but free translation.)
!, pointed out to him that the whole
business was going to seed; that in q
few days longer they would be unfit to
eat, and his whole crop of ninety-eight
square feet would be ruined, unless he
dug it up and found q market.
Thereat he knocked me down with an
unanswersble argument:
"Comrade, when those shrubs start
ed in they were small. You could have
carried the whole outlying district in
your mouth. They got bigger and big
ger, until what you see them now. Shall
I pull them up and lose the INTEREST,"
Nay, comrade; they shall stop where
they are until they are full size, and
then there will be feasting in the tent of
Potleg." s,..f
That's an Indians idea of farming.
He won't harvest, for fear that his crop
might grow larger If let alone, and he
permits it to run to seed. The agents
say that is the worst difficulty they have
to overcome. After little bribing they
can induce an Indian to plant, and then
he will watch his farm con amore. But

proved an impossibility, and so the seed
goes to waste while we wait for him to

Lichens.

No department of botany has received
less attention in this country than the
ichens; probably none would show
more unexpected surprises than they TO
an earnest student. -,----- ~,
OF all our vegetable growths none are
slower than they; and except in rare
instances none with less external beauty
to attract attention. Yet they are every
where present where air and water
nourish, and earth, trees or rocks fur
nish resting-place. Higher species of
plants show marked tendency to con-
fine themselves to particular portions OF
the globe; these, on the other hand,
range over wide areas. / have taken
one of the least obtrusive of them from
the bark of the trees growing on lawn
in West Chester. found the same
species more than three hundred feet up
in the air, defying the elements as it
grew and multiplied on the time-worn
spire of the Strasbourg Cathedral in
Southern Germany. Within the year,
the same species was sent to me grow
ing on q human bone that lay uncov-
cred upon the bleak shores of the Arctic
Ocean in the most northern part of
Alaska.
Surely organisms so widely diffused,
gifted with powers of resistance to such
extremes of climate, must have import
ant uses in the general economy of the
globe Toss their spores out upon the
rough surface of q sandstone rock, but
give them sunshine and shower and
storms, too, and they will find crevice
in which to start on long enduring
growth; trample them under foot, and
the very act of crushing will free the in
dividual cells and invite each to an in
dependent vitality. If they subserved
no other ends they might at least show
what the possibilities of life are, and so
encourage thoughtful ones to nobler
purposes and sublimer deeds. & They
have, however, other functions. They
act as adjutants to fire, water and frost,
aiding them in preparing the once
naked rocky surfaces for the support of
higher forms of plant life, and them
selves forming by their growth and
death the first soil on which subsequent
and more striking types may flourish.
: Furnishing food to man and beast,
they render regions otherwise absolutely
inhospitable and under the domain of
winter capable of supporting q hardy
population. Indeed, when one sees the
leathery-looking, dark lichens which
cover the rocks of our higher Allegheny
Mountains he can not shut from mind
the tripe de roche on which Sir John
Franklin and his men absolutely de-
pended during a portion of one of their
most terrible Arctic trips. 1t is within
range of possibility that the mamma fur
nished in the Wilderness was species
of lichen, which sometimes still comes
to bless the famine-stricken in that
country, where droughts, sand and Mos
lem rapacity combine to render life all
but unendurable.-Prof. Rothrock, IN
