Oheaper Than Daylight,

A locomotive engineer running on the
big S" route out Of New Orleans, was
in the habit of rolling into the terminus
of his run, three or four hours after sun
rise. with the headlight of his engine
brightly blazing, and his attention had
been called to the fact several times by
certain officials. Finally. the General
Superintendent tackled him and said:
'See here; haven't you been on the
road long enough to learn that you
should put your headlight out after sun
upp We can't stand no such expense as
that you know"
well" replied the engineer, ''that
may be all right enough from your
standpoint, Mr.. Superintendent; but the
cold facts are that, with such an infer
nal poor quality of oil as you furnish,
it's blamed sight cheaper than day
light. '-leEaS SutingS,

Jones has the worst memory in the
world, as all his acquaintance agree,
but is not at all sensitive about it, and
is addicted to giving what he vaguely
calls quotations from the numerous
authors that he delights in reading.
Thus, yesterday afternoon, when in
company with some friends, as he look
ed from his window and saw number
of laborers returning from work with
dinner-pails in their hands and shovels
and picks on their shoulders, he said;
a look out every evening and see these
men 90 by, and each time | am forcibly
reminded of those beautiful verses in
which the poet speaks of the tired what
d'you-call-'em going home after the
what's-his-name pillow racket" After
some time it dawned upon a member of
the party that Jones had in his mind the
line in Gray's "Elegy Written in
Country Churchyard. "
The plowman homeward plods his weary way.
And, for Jones, it wasn't such very
bad shot boston Journal.

On the Oolors of Water,

Viewed in relatively shallow masses,
clear water appears wholly colorless.
In our daily dealings with the liquid we
seldom have occasion TO observe il in
great depths; hence il has been general
ly believed that water is quite destitute
OF color. The ancients were accustomed
TO explain the transparency of some
bodies by assuming that they partook Of
the nature Of water; and we now speak
OF diamond as of the first water, to
emphasize its perfect transparency and
colorlessness. II, however, we regard
the larger masses Of water in nature
the seas, lakes, and rivers-we shall re-
ceive a different impression. IN these,
the water not only appears oolored but
OF various colors, and of a rich diversity
OF shades The Mediterranean is of a
beautiful indigo, the ocean is sky-bluc,
the Lake OF Geneva is celebrated for its
lovely and transparent azure waters; the
Lake OF Constance and the Rhine, the
Lake of Zurich and the Lake Of Lucerne.
have waters quite as transparent, but
rather green than blue; aud the green
waters OF the little Lake of Kloenthal.
near Glaris, can hardly be distinguished
from the surrounding meadows. Other
waters are Of darker color, like those
OF the Lake Of Staflel, at the foot Of the
Bavarian Alps, which was quite hlacl,
the day sawit, though clearin shallow
places. s.
These facts start the questions whoth
or water, after all, has not color; II II
has, what the color Is, and what causes
the varied tints under which IL Is seen.
The solutions Of these questions ha:
long occupied the minds of scientific IN
quircrs, and II can not yet be said tina,
they have been answered. Disagree
ment still prevails respecting them. =

THE TERTIO-MILLENNIAL
CHEAP EXCURSION RATES EVERY DAY DUR
ING THE SUMMER TO SANTA FE, NEW


MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the Oldest city
in the United States. II has reached the
end of its first third of thousand years
its tertio-mi lenial period. The Tertio.Mil-
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus.
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the % Of July and close on the I'd
of August will be an event of great histo.
rical as well rs practical importance to the
country at large. 1t is intended to com.
memorate the three hundred and thirty.
third anniversary of the Spanish settlement
OF the place.
THE EXPOSITION,
Which will constitute the practical part of
the celebration, will be an eptome of the
mineral, agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
bilites OF the Territory. Those. therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock raising will have a good OPP
portunlty to visit New Mexico this season,
rs the low iare will be great inducement
TO make 'he tlp. The development of the
mines OF this vast region has but begun,
yet IN the past year the proportonate in.
crease in the output Of ore was greater than
IN any, other State OF Territory. New Mex.
icos showing at the mining exposition held
at Denver last season showed, more clearly
than anything else, the vastness of lis min
oral wealth
1t has been the general belief heretofore
that agriculture in New Mexico would not
pay, This is an unfortunate error. At the
exposition will be seen samples of all sorts
OF fruits and field products which vie with
those of prolific Kansas. With irrigation
the soil Of the Territory can be made to
