ice which he has been able TO pack in several

into the building fast enough to keep eight
men busy on the inside, and says he is one
of the best men on ice that he knows of.

A California Rain.

The popularity of q California rain
storm is that it makes no s'fuss" about
it but attends strictly to business and ac-
complishes more in given time than
would appear possible from any amount
of observation. One feels a sense of
dreariness, and looking from the window
sees that it is raining; the quietest rain
in the world. the drops being very small
and falling with no appreciable weight.
But step out intoi it and it is almost like
stepping into the bay, the wetting is so
rapid and so thorough. 1t very rarely
happens that any wind accompanies a
rain-storm in that locality, and thunder
and lightning are almost unknown. The
average length of rain-storm is about
forty-eight hours, the water coming down
steadily and resolutely, while from the
hillsides an unbroken sheet an inch or
more in depth rushes rapidly to the res
eryoirs below, until every stream be-
comes river, every valley a lake. Some
times it continues to rain-though not
in this unbroken way-for weeks. But
this is rare case. As a rule, after
about two days and nights of solid del
uge, it clears of, the farmers go to work,
and the weather is too beautiful to be
described at all. Such blue depths OF
sky, such acers of brilliant wild flowers,
and the woods ablaze with color, all form
a picture which, if an artist should rep
resent truthfully, would be at once pro-
nounced gaIdy, unnatural and out of
taste. This style of storm with the in
tervening sunshine) about once month
for i've or six months makes an average
California winter. PEOPLES WeeHv.

To Faiths unaided eye
As stars in summers sky,
Is bnt land, at best,
OF everlasting rest?
A cline OF tropic calms,
And golden-frlIited palms,
Beneath whose plumy shade
The saints tired limbs are laid
rrheir brows forever famed
BY zephyTs cool and bland.
A star-world infinite
OF sensuoiis soul delight?
Where on the spirits eyes
Unbroken slumber lies,
And the immortal will
Dreams only, or Is stillf
No. no; II cannot bel
A vague inanity,
A life that dreams and broods
In blank bcatitudes,
Whose apotheosis-
Climax and sum OF bliss,
Nothing but rest could be
In all eternity.
Would dwindIe to n spun
The cosmic soul of man,
And never fill the scope
OF our supernal hope.
Nayi endless irons through

And we will labor best
When piteous death shall wrcst
The clogging clamps and gives
From OF our earthly lives,
Unclose our dungeon bars,
And take US 10 the stars.

There's work in Heaven to do:
The boundlcss amplitude

To measure and explore;
The seek the founts of light
Truths empyrean height;
The mysteries that defy
All human scrutiny
Unveiled at last to see,
In full-orbed majesty:
To feel, to know the force
That moves the universe;
To hear the living voice
That makes the heavens rejoice;
In spirit to return
Where our home affairs burn.
As visions, in the night,
OF glory and delight,
With gift of benisOns
For the beloved ones;
To cheer some high-wrought heart
Whom God hath set apart
To be the crowned of fame,
Through noble deed and aim;
To feed with holy fire
The souls divine desire:
This. and much more than this,
Is lifes cousummate bliss,
The sainted souls employ,
Her everlasting Joy;
