so bright, 50 keen, so clear and blue,
The broad, untrOubled azure arch
Which not a cloud is sailing through;
A smile OF Earth. a festive way,
As though She WOKE from Slumberiny
And entered on holiday
Might tempt one half to dream OF spring
Except for trees whose glow is fed,
Except for withered leaves and brown,
That rustic underneath our tread
And make 4 woodland or the town.
For, as / walked, / turIei to see
The vista OF n climbing street,
With leaves O'erdri!tad perfectly;

Above, the branches softly bent
And scattered still their brown and gold;
The sunshine TO the pathway lent
The glamour OF some tale OF old.
Tomorrow morn the rain may fail,
The clouds may gloom, the day be dull,
But must still remember all
That makes this day so beautiful.

singular beauty. Green pastures lead to the

BftuminOus substances, apparently of organic
origin are found in various parts of the world
Sometimes they occur In free state, as in the
Island of Trinidad and at others impregnating
calcareous rocks or serving as cement to hold
the particles together, as at Val de Travers or
Seyssel.
For several reasons the asphalt lake in Trini-
dad possesses special interest for us. The
island, which is the sOuthernmOst of the Lesser
Antilles, lies off the northern coast of South
America. and is easily accessible from any of
our sea-ports. Here, amid the most luxuriant
vegetation, Is lake three miles in crcumfer-
ence. on the service OF which lies crust of as
phaltum OF such tenacty that in the rainy sea-
son person can walk across it; but, under
the influence Of the hot sun, it softens
to thick tar. This crust receives accessions
from beneath, and formerly it would
overflow and run into the sea. more than
two miles away. similar substance. known
as Jews pitch" Is washed ashore in consider
able quantities around the borders of the Dead
sea. In Texas, south Of Shreveport, there is
said to be pitch-ake containing large auanti-
ties Of bitumen, but little is yet known about It.
In southern California there are accumulations
OF asphalt on the coast at Santa Barbara San
Luis OblspO, ETC., which resembles, when pure.
that from Trinidad 1t promises to supply the
wants OF the western coast. as Trinidad will that
OF the eastern part Of this country. In Ken
lucky there Is considerable quantity of as
phaItic mineral which may some time be utilized
for road-making.
An interesting and valuable asphaltic mineral,
known as Albertite, is found in New Brunswick;
and similar one, called Grahamite, occurs in
West Virginia and other parts of the country
In the mountains west Of Denver in Colorado,
Is q vertical bed of hard and brittle asphalt not
unlike Grahamite. while Albertite is found in
small quantities In Lorain county, Ohio and
Casey county, Kentucky. Bitumen is likewise
found in Cuba. and is brought into commerce
under the name Of chapopote, or Mexican as
phalt.
In Europe asphalt occurs chiefly In limestone,
which forms, when crushed and packed. an ex-
cellent pavement. The principal points at
which 1t is found are the following: Val de
Iravers, in the Swiss canton of Neufchatel. Ia
miles from Neufchatel. and 16 or IL miles by
rail- from the French borders; Seyssel, on the
khone. in the French department Of the Ain,
about SO miles from Geneva; Lobsann, q small
town IN northern Alsace; Vorwohle, in Braunsch-
weig; and Limmer, near the city Of Hanover.
The Italian province Of Casetra, in the neigh
oorhood OF Naples, supplies Rome with an
asphalt much used for terraces and fiat roofs.

How the Telephone Got Mr. Jones all
Doubled Up.
[Mrs.l MARY e. MEL.


HOW the Telephone Got Mr. Jones all
Doubled Up.
From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Old Mr.. Jones, senior partner of Jones & Son.
considered it good stroke of business when he
had telephone put in his grocery store 1t
took the old gentlemen several days to get the
hang of the thing; but it paid to have custom
ers order goods by telephone of him from a dis
lance, when, before he had telephone, they
would run to the nearest shop. Mr. Jones was
congratulating himselfupon this the other morn
ing, when the telephone bell rang. After the
usual number of helloes. he distinctly caught an
order for ten pounds of sugar, two pounds of
coffee, pound of crackers, half bushel of po-
tatoes, apeck of apples, and Goldfish, to be de-
livered; but he didn't quite catch the name.
After several vain trials, he asked the other
party to spell it, while with his pencil he pre-
pared to write 1t down on a sheet of wrapping
paper.
''Double U" said the voice. Jones wrote it
down and said, EYES,"
Double H."
1--WE got that"
"Well put it down again."
eyes: go ahead"
"Double IT,"
"Why, I've got that"
Put 1t down again."
but have 1t down twice."
well. put 1t down three times" Jones sighed
and wrote it again.
"a double d. -. = ':1'i
"a double d-that's add" soliloquized Jones';
then he shouted back, add what?'
Add nothing. Just put down a double d."
"Thfs Is Internal nOnsense!' muttered Jones':
but he cheerfully called back, Eyes; 60 ahead
"E double l."
"Wha-a-t?"
"E double l."
Mr.. Jones stamped on the floor, and pulled his
whiskers savagely; but he put it down and
sweetly answered. Eyes"
"All what?"
"All the name. I"
Then Mr.. Jones studied his paper carefully a
moment, when he had written thus, "U-u-u-u-
u-u-a-d-d-e-l-l, and remarked to himself. .'Why.
that's cOnfOunded nonsense" He then helloed
through the telephone in vain, and wrung up the
central office and inquired in vain who had been
talking with him. Then he studied his writing
some more Pretty soon in came his son, the
Junior partner. Mr.. Jones showed him the let
tiers and told how. he got them. The Junior
partner studied them hard, read them both
ways, looked on the back of the paper, and
finally said it was the infernalest bosh he ever
saw. They showed the paper to the bookkeeper,
and ne said 1t was sheer fOOishness. The big
clerk said 1t was absurd. The little clerk
thought somebody was crazy. Finally the er-
rand boy looked at it and was told it was meant
for some customers name; thereupon he asked
Mr. Jones to call off the letters as near as he
could remember the same as he had received
them by telephone. Mr.. Jones did so, when the
errand boy nearly chOked with laughing,
said Why, that's perfectly plain; it is w. w
Waddell." Mr.. Jones never felt such an i'm
mense relief since he went into business
