a SUBTERRANEAN LAKE.

In Colorado is ten-acre field, which
is no more or less than a subterranean
lake covered witt soil about Is inches
deep. On the soil is cultivated field ct
corn, which produces 80 bushels to the
acre. If any one will take the trouble to
dig hole the depth of a spade handle he
will find it to fill with water, and by using
a hook and line, fish four or five inches
long can be caught. The fish have nei-
ther scales nor eyes and are perch like in
shape. The ground is black mari in
nature, and in all probability was at one
time an open body of water, on which &C.
cumulated vegetable matter, which has
been increased from time to time, until
now it has crust sufficiently strong and
rich to produce fine corn, though If has
to be cultivated by hand, as it is not
strong enough to bear the weight of a
horse. While harvesting, the hands
catch great strings OF fish by making a
hole through the earth. A person rising
on his heel and coming down suddenly,
can see the growing corn shake all around
him. ANY one having strength to drive
rail through the crust will find, on re-
leasing it, that it will disappear alto
geather.

LOST SPEECH RECOVERED.

From the Cincinnati Commercial:-
A most miraculous recovery of the hui
man voice was experienced by young
lady residing in GAINESVILLE, O., on Jan
uary 4. Miss Linda Ethelz' home is in
Beverly, but she has for some time been
in the employ of A. W. Richards as
seamstress. Three years ago she sudden
ly lost her voice, the cause being unex-
plainable, and up to last summer she
could not utter an audible tone, her ut
most efforts to speak resulting in faint
and indistinct whisper. One morning
in August, to her great surprise, she was
able to speak so that she could be under
stood, but only uttered a few words and
then her voice failed her again, and from
that time until the present she has been
speechless, although in perfect health and
working all the time. This morning
when she awoke she experienced an un
comfortable desire to speak, and to her
great establishment and delight she broke
out in tones as fresh and clear as q "bell, :"
and in all its original sweetness. Physi-
clans here are unable to account for the
malady or its sudden and mysterious
cure. Miss Ethelz is about 81 years old
and is overioyed at the recovery of her
vocal organs.

POMPEII.

Onesof the most interesting features OF
the excavations in this buried city is the
discovery of many homely domestic arti-
cles of which we have counterparts. 1t
is astonishing how many things in COM
mon use now were in use then. You will
see almost every kitchen utensil, portable
cooking stoves, ielly-cake tins, and but
ter moulds in the imitation of birds and
flowers, pots, kittles, crooks, dishes.
cups and saucers, spoons, knives and
forks, dippers, skimmers, sauce-pans,
lamps, lamp-stands, fish hooks, and bra
ziers for charcoal. Pretty much every
kitchen, dining or chamber article
found in modern use entered into Roman
daily life. All the articles of lady's
toilet, including iewelry of all kinds,
precious stones, were found in the houses
of Pompeii. Taken from the retail shops
were steelyards, balances, weights and
measures. From doctors Office Was
recovered full set of surgical instru-
ments, including "pulikins" for extract
ing teeth, and trepans for drilling holes
in the skull There is any number of
shoemakers, tailors, carpenter and black
smith tools, and, indeed, implements of
almost every present mechanical opera

RAISING A NEW CROP OF hair.

1t was one of the bylaws OF Heart

used literally before retiring, rubbing it
well into the scalp. Just before he went
to bed that night the man bolted the
back door, put the cat in the wood-shed,
came in whistling the Fatanitza waltz,
danced up to the clock-shelf, and pour
ing out handful of what he supposed
to be his fertilizer, he mopped it all
over his scalp and stirred it well in by
the roots of the little hedge of hair at
the back of his neck.
The glue bottle, by an unearthly CO.
incidence, was nearly the same shape

This particular bald headed man, like

George was dancing about the room,
the pillow now dangling by few hairs,
his scalp covered with something that
looked like sheet copper, while the air
was redolent of warlike explosives, as if

woman's instinct the poor wife took in

For years an old buck, the leader of
the deer heard on the Boston common,
has maintained an absolute and malicious
tyranny over the younger members of his
own sex. His treatment ranked, and the
other day when he had shed his horns
they made combined attack upon him,
which only ceased upon the death of the
tyrant. The superintendent and assis-
tants attempted to interfere, but were
driven out of TIE enclosure by the infuri-
ated animals, which became dociIe again
when their enemy was disposed of. They
still preserve, however, a sort of sic Gem

their number has laid claim to the prim

A VALUABLE BEAST.

Springfield Republican: The attention
which the recent sale of the famous sJer-
sey Queen" has excited, leads me to give
brief sketch of that remarkable cows
career. She comes from the herd i'm
ported by E. T. Fairbanks & Co., and
was purchased when only few days old,
together with her mother, by d. Harvey,
of Peacham, Vt. She was sold when
nine months old to farmer of that town
for S32. In SIX months from that time
she was purchased by Asa Hoyt, cooper
of the same place. Mr.. Hoyt owned her
for several years. He is very careful,
painstaking man and did not own any
other COW. The last year that she was
in his possession he kept an attentive &C.
count of all the butter and milk which
the "Queen" produced. At the end of
the year he found that she had made TAG
pounds of butter. Many were incredu.
ious, notwithstanding the excellent repu-
tation of Mr.. Hoyt. In 1879, however,
the COW was resold to Josiah S. Emerson,
of Barnet, VT, for $1,000. Mr.. Kiner-
son is well known throughout New Eng
land as the able agent for Bradley's phos-
phate. He christened her the "Jersey
Queen" and put her into careful hands.
When she came in the spring of 1881 he
had an accurate account kept of her milk
and butter. She has already produced
between 500 and 600 pounds of butter,
and unless she fails up entirely at the end
of the year her record will pass 800 h..
Mr.. EMERSON has just sold the "Queen"
to A. B. Darling, proprietor of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel of New York, for 81, 600
cash. Mr. Darling now owns the two
best COWS in the world. "Eurotas, whose
record is $50 pounds of butter in one
year, and the Jersey Queen" whose
record will pass 800 pounds.

LIGHTHOUSE TERRORS.

breakers! When we look at lighthouse
in calm weather, it is almost impossible
to realize that the sea sometimes breaks
over the lantern. Such is, however fire.
quently the case, and an instance OF this
occurred not long after the completion OF
the Bishops Rock Light, which is erect
ed on rock beyond the Sicily Islands,
far out in the Atlantic. One OF the
builders told of heavy sea striking
under the lantern and carrying away the
fog bell, which hung by stout arm OF
iron nearly three inches square. A few
years ago the lighthouse keepers on this
rock were in terrible predicament du-
ring a hurricane, the violence of which
was described as being fearful. The
lighthouse was struck by enormour
waves in quick succession, each causing
noise like the discharge of cannon, and
making the massive stone building rock
to and fro, SO that every article fell away
from its place. One fearful sea broke
the great lens in several pieces, and an
other smashed the cylinders of the spare
light, while sand from the bottom, thirty
fathoms deep, was found heaped upon
the lighthouse gallery. The power of

great that lately, at Wick, one of these

AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baflied the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant 10 take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
