How a Gold Piece Passed Around.

The Atlanta appeal relates this Incl
dent A singular incident occurred at the
circus the other night, which illustrates
the invariable good fortune that attaches
to some people. One of apair of friends,
who were spectators, purchased a song
book from vender of the poetic trash of
the ring, and gave in payment $3.50
gold piece, supposing it to be silver
dime. The vender pocketed the money
and went on saying nothing about the
mistake. In few minutes the other
friend decided to invest dime in the
same way. He called to the nearest
vender, who happened to be the golden
individual aforesaid, and handed him q
quarter. The chap returned him book,
together with a s. 250-piece and five
cent nickle. This caused friend No. to
look in his clothes for his own gold, and
not finding it, the obvious conclusion was
that the piece was his.

Seal-Skin Sacques.

Seal-skin sacques will be as generally
worn this winter as they were last year,
says Harper's Basar, but are changed in
shape, being a trife shorter. and fitting
the figure more closely. They are said
to be three inches smaller in the waist
than last year, and their shortened length
ranges from thirty-three to thirty-seven
inches. The back of the sacque follows
the outlines of the wearer, and fits
smoothly over the tournure the front IS
double-breasted, and curves in gracefully
below the bust the collar and lapels are
small, and the sleeves fit the arms
closely and are without cuffs. Seal bars
with braid loops fasten the garment.
The best plan for the purchaser is to buy
plain untrimmed sacque, putting all
the outlay in the quality of the seal fur,
which is beautiful enough Ct itself when
new; trimming can be- added another
season, when the freshness of the fur has
been marred, or there is some change OF
shape needed. Select very dark seal
skins, and be sure that the fleece runs
upward throughout the entire garment
when cleansing it with brush or strok-
ing it with the hand, the strokes should
always be upward with the pile. Many
pockets in a fur sacque make 1t I'M
shapely. Do not dry seal-skin by the
fire, as it will surely mat and fiatten ex-
pose it instead in a cold dry room, where
it should be well spread out.

Receiving a Delegation.

General Scofield, who lately succeeded
General Mcdowell in command of the De-
partment of the Pacific, received dele
cation of the Piute Indians a few days
ago at the Pacific Hotel, In San Francisco.
The scene was amusing. The braves
wore some of the garments of civilization,
but of deca yed civilization, and each
carried under his arm silk hat whose
gloss had long since disappeared. They
began with eulogy of General Nc
Dowell, and then proceeding to business,
urged their claims to continuance of the
free passes over the Central Pacific Rail
DAD. They explained that it was occa-
sionally their imperative necessity to ride
on the railroad, but that they never,
under any circumstances, were in a con-
dition to pay their fares. Having finished
his special errand, their spokesman, with
dignity, asked General Scofeld for a
quarter of dollar, with which to pur
chase drink.

A Fish Pond for Carp.

Seth Green, the eminent piscieulturist,
writes about a new way of sup
plying families with fish. He says:
My opinion has often been asked how
a carp pond should be constructed for
family use. The pond can be made in
any shape to suit the locality, but I
would prefer egg shape, if the locality was
just as suitable for it. The pond would
breed flies of a great many kinds, one of
the kinds being mosquitoes. The larvae
of flies is the best food for young fish. I
have bred them by the bushel, but some
of the mosquitoes would be apt to take
wing before the pond got well stocked
with young fish, and to protect the family
in a measure would advise building the
pond to the leeward of the house in the
prevailing winds of the locality. If, for
instance, the prevailing wind was from
the west, the pond would be built to the
east, northeast, or southeast of the house.
1 would prefer the pond to the northeast
or southeast, because if placed directly to
the east, the house would make a lee
under which the mosquitoes could easily
reach it. The mosquito can beat any
sailing craft before the wind, but on the
wind they are nowhere in the race, as
they have no keel. The whole human
family should be thankful to the Creator
for not putting a keel on them, and if
their bowsprit had not been quite so
sharp, they might not receive so many
handkerchief salutes from the verandas
of the Long Island hotels, but would be
just as useful and ornamental.
The pond can be built with plow and
scraper. It should have deep place in
the centre, and be shallow on the edges
If you have square sides, the young fish
will have no protection from the old ones.
When scraping is commenced, carry the
dirt as far back as you intend making the
lower outside of your embankment, and
keep scraping until the pond is four to six
feet deep in the centre. If the locality
is such that the ice freezes very thick,
the pond should be made deeper and holes
kept open through the ice during the
winter to keep the fish from suffocating.
If the embankment is raised three feet
and pounded down and sodded or sown
to grass, the water could be raised so that
but three feet in the centre would have to
be excavated in order to have pond six
feet deep. The whole pond should be
sown with some kind of grass or water
plant, with the exception of about fifty OF
seventy-fve feet square in the centre.
The grass and water-plants make the
spawning grounds, breed food, and pro-
tect the young The pond should not
contain any other kind of fish, and If the
grass gets too thick it can be raked out.

The River and HarbOr Men.

1t will be of interest, now that the cleo
ton is over, says the New York Times
to trace the fate of the members of the
House of Representatives who, on the
ID of August, aided in rushing the River
and Harbor bill with headlOng haste over
the Presidents veto. There were 122 of
them, of whom IS were Republicans, 81
Democrats, and Independents of one
stripe or another. The first test of pub
lie sentiment in regard to their course
came when nominations were made.
Thirty-four of the 122 were not renom-
mated, including 19 Republicans, II
Democrats, and Independents. Doubt
less some of these did not seek renom-
nation. On the other hand, some who
were renominated secured that result by
the help of machine managers who did
not fairly represent the wishes of con-
stituents. OF the 88 who were renomi-
nated-46 Republicans, 39 Democrats,
and 3 independents failed of election,
VIZ: 10 Republicans, Democrats, and
3 independents. We have therefore 81
of the River and Harbor men, or exactly
one-half, chosen for another term. Of
these 27 are Republicans and "a are Dem
ocrsts

On the Rail.

The Atlanta Constitution says "We
stopped rather suddenly" said DR..
Raines, "when the two trains met on
the track just this side of Rome. For
my part 1 went head foremost under the
seat that was just in front of where 1 was
sitting. The most singular thing that l
witnessed was just across the aisle from
me. There were two men, sitting one
directly behind the other, and in front OF
them was an unoccupied seat. When the
engines struck, the man in front turned
a complete somersault and lit in the va
Bant seat just exactly as he sat in the
other seat. The other man performed
exactly the same feat, and lit in the seat
lately occupied by his neighbor."

Salt.

Salt lagoons are met with in several
places in Apache County, Arizona, the
principal one being near the line of New
Mexico. About 100000 pounds are
taken yearly from this lake, and with
proper facilities It could be made to pro-
duce an almost unlimited supply. The
salt is precipitated to the bottom of the
lake, wagons are driven into shallow
water and the crystals shoveled in. Thus
the supply for cattle raisers in Apache
and portions of Yavapsi is obtained, in
addition to the large quantities required
for the working Of silver ores.

IHE STORY OF LIFE
BY JOHN G. SAKE,

Say, what is life? 'Tis to be born.
A helpless babe to greet the light
with sharp wall, as if the morn
Foretold cloudy noon and night;
10 weep, to sleep, and weep again.
Win sunny smiles between, and then?
And then apace the infant grows
10 be laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes.
We're he but conscious of his ioy!
10 be IN short from two to ten,
A merry, moody child, and then?
And then in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the Decalogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog,
A truant oft by field and fen,
And capture butterflies, and then?
And then increased in strength and size,
To be anon, youth full grown?
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own.
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sin, and then?
And then at last, to be man
To fall in love, to WOO and wed
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue for fame with tongue and pen,
And gain or lose tine prize, and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled Ed
To mourn the speed of life's decline,
To praise the scenes of youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of Lang Syne,
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and then?

Bricks and Stones.

A man in this city, says the Boston
Journal, who lives next door to person
who practices ten hours a day on the
piano, says he is quite willing to
believe the NEUROLOGICAL stories about
Orpheus, who is said to have drawn
rocks and trees after him by the sweet
power of his Tyre. But he qualities this
remark by saying that as the ancient
poets used rather highfalutin language
as a rule, he conceives their statements
about Orpheus to be somewhat highly
colored in order to read agreeably in
verse. The cold facts, he maintains,
were that Orpheus's practicing on his
favorite instrument drew after him pieces
of bricks and cord wood from the hands
of indignant neighbors. Thus another
myth goes to join the exploded stories
about William Tells celebrated shot at
the apple and Pocahontas's rescue of
Captain John Smith.

In Place of Hops.

The oil and Drug Neaos says: Owing
to the small crop of hops, the price has
been advanced to 81 per pound and up
ward, and as this price is higher than
some of the brewers can afford to pay
and compete with their more successful
rivals, they have cast about for a sub
stitute, and have purchased largely of
chamomile flowers and columbia root,
and this extra drain on the ordinary sup
ply has sent the price of these articles
to an extraordinary high figure. As
these advanced, the brewers have been
obliged to look further, and some of
them have secured quantities of aloes.
These purchases have in many cases
been made under cover of an agent.

A Crop of Onions.

Five years ago a New Hampshire cor
respondent of Mirror and Farmer,
"feeling the need of outdoor exercise,
bought five acres and planted one OF them
to onions. The first crop was 300 bushels,
the second 400, last year 600, and this
unfavorable season 225 on three-fourths
of an acre. The price each fall ranged
from 80 cents to 81 per bushel. lie
knows of no crop that pays so well, and
gives this advice about soil and fertilizer
eff any one has the right kind OF land,
not gravel or too heavy, try onions. The
crop improves on the same land year after
wear. Good manure is cheaper and better
than commercial fertilizers; ashes are
an addition and salt is very beneficial.
The best time to apply the manure is in
the fall, still a plenty of well-rotted
manure applied in the spring would
answer.
