HOFFENSTEIN'S PANTS.

Hoffenstein was busily engaged scolding
Herman for not polishing lot of brass jewel
ry there was in the showcase, when stoop-
shouldered countryman entered the store and
inquired 49,.
'sHave you got any good jeans pants here ?"
Certainly, my frent,'' replied Hotfenstein,
we makes a speciality uf goods in dot line, und
We defy competition. If We sell anyding und
you don't like it, you gets your money back or

''Vell, den, you need a bair Nv bants like

pair from pile of clothing on the counter
s.Dey vas de genervine doe skin, und will last
de whole year oud, you know"
The cOuntryman took the pants to the light,
examined the texture of the cloth, and then
shaking his head knowingly, said:
s'There's toe much cotton in them they
will shrink.''
''Of course, my trent, dey will shrink; but
vait und dels you someding. 1t man val

don't sell him dem kind of pants. Wy! Be

When Hoffenstein finished his yarn concern
ing the pants, the countryman smiled and
turning abruptly on his heel, left the store:
'sDid you see de way dot man acted, Her
man ?'' said Hoffenstein, angrily.
'sYes, sir" replied his clerk.

THE GREAT TLAKE.-Salt Lake, Utall,
is seventy-fve miles long from the north
west to the southeast, and about thirty miles
broad. For the most part the lake is shallow,
and it's surface is 4, 200 feet above sea level.
The outlines of the lake arc somewhat lrregu-
lar, particularly on the eastern side. The lake
is in vast valley or basin OF the mountains,
and is fed chiefly by the waters of Utah Lake,
which are conveyed to it by the river Jordan
coming from the southeast, and the Bear River,
which empties it's waters into it from the
north. There are some nine islands in the
lake, the principal one being Antelope, or
Church Island, in the southeast. The spring
floods greatly increase the size of the lake,
spreading it over extensively, from which, how
ever, it recedes as the summer wears on. AS
is well known, the lake has no outlet. The
water of the lake is transparent, and is so
salty as to form one of the purest and most
concentrated brines of which we have knOwl-
edge; it contains twenty-five per cent. OF
chloride Of sodium, slightly mixed with other
salts. The lake contains no fish, but immense
numbers of gulls, wild ducks, geese, and swans
frequent it's islands. The first known mention
of the lake was by Baron Ianton in 1889, who
gathered some vague notions OF its existence
from the Indians west of the Mississippi.
General Fremont explored and described it in
1913, and was the first white man to navigate
it. Salt Lake City, the Mormon Zion, had,
according to the census of 1880, u population
of 20, 75S, against u, 754 in 1870.

RELICS OF AN ENGLISH BUcANEER.-A
curious romance of the sea, in which English
sailors, and, indeed, Englishmen generally, are
interested, has just come to hand from Buenos
Ayres. To all readers of sea stories of the
Elizabethan period the name of Thomas Cav
endish is familiar. Captain Cavendish was a
navigator and bucaneer, and one of the
scourges of the Spaniards, until on an ILL
fated day he was captured and hung at Buenos
Ayres, by one Of their men OF war, just after
he had made an unsuccessful descent upon
Buenos Ayres. 1t is Of this viking that some
traces are supposed to have been discovered in
the harbor at the mouth of the Plata. An
italian merchant captain, whose vessel was
moored in the harbor at the time the last mail
left, finding great difficulty in raising his an
chor, obtained help from Il neighborng vessel,
and when the anchor was hOisted discovered
that it had brought up a large sheet OF copper,
evidently torn from a case OF the same mate
rial. On being cleansed the metal was found
to bear among other marks, the letters II. h.
50 and cross and various initials. A diver
was sent down and brought up two ingots of
pure gold, which he reported he had taken
from Il chest that was imbedded in the ground.
By this time the authorities of the republic
got wind of the discovery and they placed Il
guard at the spot to prevent further unauthor-
lied exploration, intending, it is said, to en-
ploy divers at the public expense in completing
the search. Meanwhile a scientific association
in the town has examined the mass of metal
which was torn from it's fastenings by the
italian captains anchor, and is of opinion,
from the date it bears, and the letters cts.
CO. which appear upon it, that the treasure
which they suppose to have been discovered
formed part of the plumber of Thomas Caven-
dish, and was thrown overheard or lost with
his ship in the fight which cost the bucaneer
his life.

OIL COUNTRY TOwNs.-There is something
pathetic in the touch Of destiny which rules
the existence of all oil country towns and
which causes the best work of an oil mans
life to go down into oblivion after the lapse of
a few years. There is a grim sarcasm in the
push and energy and life of an oil region city,
in the height of its brief glory. Pithole, in
Venango county, Pa, is the most striking IL
lustration Of this irony of fate. Twenty years
ago the site of Pithole WaScOvered with wheat
fields, and to-day waving corn and wheat and
wild flowers cover the same spot. But be-
tween that day and this there arose and fell
one of the most remarkable cities the world
has ever seen. Twenty thousand people gath
cred there in single year, and when the great
oil wells failed to pour out torrent of wealth
the gaudy theaters closed, the mammoth no.
tells became tenantless and the churches lost
their worshippers. Banks, newspapers, stores
and offices ceased to exist almost as suddenly
as they were called into being, and the life and
light of the famous city went out forever
To-day there is one voter in Pithole and the
town may be said to be solid for Beaver, for
The lone voter is postmaster. Justice of the
Peace, storekeeper and chief man of the place
It may also I've said that there is but one other
man in the neighDorhOOd, and he does not
vote. There are dozens of villages in the old
oil country that exist only in the memories OF
neil who saw their birth and death. The new
wells in Warren county are strangely like the
wells of Pithole, and the rush to the new town
of Garfield bears All almost fateful resem-
blance to the craze which was the guiding
spirit of the wonderful city of Venango. The
ultimate resultsmay not be the same, but, if
not, then the rule and the law of all petro-
leum cities will be broken for the first time.

THE BICYCLE.-As a mere machine for
TRANSPORTATION, the bicycle sentitled to a high
considers, ion. In England, and more espe-
cialy in the large cities like London, the bi-
cycle has taken an acknowledged place with
the cab, the omnibus, the tramWay and the
steam car. In London thousands of them are
in use by men who employ them for the same
purpose they would a saddle-horse. They 60
to their business on them in the morning, re-
turn on them at night, with the same regular
ity that other men traverse the same rOutesby
means of the regular transportation. This IS
the case often with men who live as many rs
from six to ten miles from their places OF bus
mess They escape the fetid air Of the omnl-
bus, they have no fare to pay, and, as rule,
they make the journey in less time than they
could were they to travel by the usual vehicles
of transportation. In this direction the mat
ter of economy is of no small account.
The person who uses the bicycletO 60 to and
from his place of business j." london, or III
any of the larger cities of the country, saves
not less than ten cents day-a not very large
sum, it is true, but one which pays him from
40 to so per cent. per annum on his purchase OF
a machine, and gives him the advantage of a
most inspiriting and delightful method OF To-
comotion.
RESULTS OF TIE FEACE TOLlC1.-Wnlle
in the other colonies it was usual for the set
tiers on the frontiers to carry their guns to
the fields and places of worship, in PennSyl-
vania and New Jersey this was not done by
the Friends, and they were not mOlested.
Even the doors of their houses they kept un-
locked, lest the Indians might think they
mistrusted Them Five years after the "great
treaty." when rumor spread that there was
to be rising of the Indians, some of the
Friends at once rode to one of the native vii
lagos about twenty miles distant. The 1ndi-
ans assured them that there was no truth in
the report and that they harbored no enmi-
ty against the English. Peace reigned in that
province during a period of sixty-five years,
at the end of which time the power of the
Friends in the government was lost.

LANDs.-The May 1882 Report of the De.
partment of Agriculture for the State OF
Georgia, contains an interesting article on
the value of pea vines as a fertilizer. 1t is
urged that the planting of peas and the turn
ing under of the vines affords the surest
means by which worn out lands can be re.
stored. 1t is urged that every farmer in the
state should adopt as a part OF his rotation OF
crops the largest possible area in peas, follow
ing small grain for improvement, and the
statement is made that it matters not wheth-
er the vines are turned under in green state
or are left to decay upon the surface of the
SOIL BY the use of pea vines it is said the
old lands can be reclaimed cheaper than the
forest can be cleared.
A New WAY TO Dry PEACHEs.-Never
pare peaches to dry. Let them get mellow
enough to be be in good eating condition, put
them in boiling water for a moment or two,
and the skin will come off like a charm. Let
them be in the water long enough, but no
longer. The gain is at least six-fold-saving
Of time in removing the skin, great saving of
the peach (the part of the peach saved is the
best part, less time to stone the peaches, less
time to dry them, and better when dried. a
whole bushel can be done in a boiler at once,
and then the water turned off.
WEEDs.-The rapidity with which weeds
multiply is marvellous A single plant of pur-
slane will, when fully grown, mature nearly a
million seeds the roadside mullen, 600, 600 ;
the ox-eye daisy, 1850 the Canada thistle,
about 10000; the Mayweed, 10000, and the
burdock, $4,000. In view of these facts, we
should let no noxious weed escape. This
should he the war cry, especially during the
months of July and August. "Plow them up,
dig them up, or cut them up, or cut them
down." Not one should mature it's seeds.
USEFUL HINTs.-Lime, sprinkled in fire
places during the summer months, is healthful.
Spanish brown, mixed with water and ap-
piled, will make a hearth look very pretty
1t costs but few cents a pound, and a pound
will last long time.

B- If you want the srarkle of life, you may
find it among the gay and happy, among those
who know not an ',ngratified wish, nor an
earthly sorrow. But if you want the temper,
the tone, the sweetness, the richness of life,
you must 60 down where patience has had her
perfect work. You must sit with those whose
hearts have been long waiting before the closed
doors which shut out their best beloved from
their sight with those who have learned pa
tience under the exactions Of poverty, with
those who have lived in daily contact with liy-
ing trials, and have learned at least through
long discipline to take them cheerfnlly and
lovingly into their lives, and to carry them
