THE BERNHARDT JEWELS.

Nearly every one of the precious
Jewels which Madame Bernhard
parted with at the recent sale was
souvenir Of the most distinguished
homage in the world. Queen Mar
guerite, of Italy, gave the very hand
some collar of pearls and brilliants,
representing a garland of foliage,
with palm leaf for center piece"
while her Majesty's brother r-in-law,
the Duke of Aosta, offered the brace
let in "a mat enriched with sapphire
and a brilliant" The three fine
brooches in the form Of a winged
dragon "are the tribute of a Russian
Princess" and an English Prince, who
will one day be an English King,
gave the fine Indian bracelet in en-
amelled gold, representing serpent
with two heads, enriched with rose
diamonds and rubies," as well as an
other trife of an Indian bandeau,"
dotted all over with foolish nothings
in emeralds, rubies and pearls. The
pretty comb in finely wrought gold
representing an 'allegoric trophy OF
comedy and tragedy" with "Quand
meme," Nine. Sarah's own device, be-
meath, was Emile de Girardin's hand
some acknowledgement of q life like
portrait bust from her hand.

OLD 81 AND HIS ROOSTER.

Old ST looked over a few of the
State exchanges to see who had the
bulge on the Governorship and then
remarked to the pol l.tical O'Donovan
Rosa at the third pine table: Il

A THRIFTY NAN.

81 cannot give my consent to your
marriage with my daughter" said a
father to an ardent lover.
"On what grounds do you base
your objections2"
"On the grounds that you are a
poor man, have no trade or profession,
and are by no means capable OF sup
porting wife,"
"Oh. that's it, eh7 Look here" and
he took out several papers showing
that he owed four or five hundred
dollars. "Don't this prove that l am
a thrifty man; what more can you
askY
Il can ask for nothing more. You
have shown your ability. Take my
daughter"
Il am thankful" said the young
man. II have only one more re-
quest?"
"That the marriage shall take
place immediately"
mo; that you will lend me enough
money to buy me suit of clothes
and pay the preacher. Let me see
how much will be necessary. I can
stand the preacher off. Let me have
fifty dollars and your daughter shall
be my wife"

A SPRING SONG.

My heart leaps up on bright Spring day,
When look out to the sky,
And see the clouds in light display
Floating gently by.
So was it, when | was boy;
Now, though my hairs are gray,
Nv heart throbs with the self-same JOY
On shining April day:
Shine. shine, o April bright,
And drive dull care away!
"Youth's the season made for joys"
An old song thus doth say,
But can make merry noise,
Although my hairs are gray.
There's danger in youths wild delights
And hotly spurred desires;
But safety dwells with sober sprights,
And chastely glowing fires.
Shine, shine, o April bright,
And drive dull cares away!

courses of stone. While my horse
took comfort, l sought to find place
to climb the mountain to examine the
walls. After walking fully an hour
l came to fssure, which 1 entered
and soon discovered 1 was on the
right road to the summit, every now
and then finding where rocks had
been broken out of the way. At last
l came to where path was worn. by
travel, in the solid rocks, that gives
some idea or conjecture of the an
tiquity of he place 1 was about to
visit. At last, leg weary, I reached
the first wall that was laid up-one
place that seemed to be in full height
was five feet four inches. This outer
wall inclosed about 10 acres. Within
this Were four successive walls, vary
ing in distances from 80 to 100 feet
apart, the height of which could not
be told, owing to the fact that they
had all partly toppled over, but each
was constructed as breast wall for
defense, as if driven in fearful con-
fiict to last retreat. The central or
last enclosing as l approached it, the
westerly wall was the one which /
had first discovered while on horse
back. After sketching the whole, 1
began to investigate, and discovered
several tombs or sepulchers that had
been cut in the solid rock, one of
which I explored by breaking a hole
at one corner where a fracture ap-
peared, and on succeeding in getting
hole large enough for my body, I
entered it, and made valuable discov-
cries, taking therefrom a mal-pie
rock hammer, ornaments, few bones
of the reindeer, a textile fabric too
decayed to determine its composition.
l explored for human remains by
scientific tests applied to the dust
within the tomb. 1 uncovered sew
eral human teeth in the mound, but
when the air came in contact with
them they crumbled to powder--a
terrible disappointment. 1t must
have taken thousands of years to
produce such result.
At another point in these noun
tains, 300 miles further north, / OBJ
tanned from cave the petrifed foot
of a cave bear, with other things.
This foot is deprived of hair, but
otherwise it is uninjured, the liga-
ments, toes, cords and cuticle being
injected with carbonate of lime.
1t is we'll understood scientific
fact that the reindeer, cave bear and
prehistoric man were cotempora
neous. When my further explora-
tions of the summer to obtain addi-
tional information on the subject as
to who preceded the Toltecs are COM
pleted, l shall write a distinctive ar
ticle on the subject, which will evoke
much criticism from the scientific
press, but they cannot change the
facts. / will say now that the opin-
ion once had, that the first immi-
grafton to this continent was by way
of Behring Straits, is changed. l
now am of the opinion that its first
inhabitants came from the South,
went North and then returned. OF
and on this subject more hereafter.
This beginning is long enough for

THE OTHER SIDE.

She sobbed as if her heart would
break, and the kind hearted neighbor
who dropped in for friendly chat
could not comfort her.
Had she received bad news from
her relations or friends? No.
Were her children causing her
trouble? No.
Difficulties in church? No.
Perhaps her husbands business
was not prospering? But that was
not it; her husband had never been
so fortunate in business as now.
Finally it came out that her hus
band had stopped drinking, and that
was the source of her grief.
HE is so changed now," she tear
fully explained. "From lively,
kind-hearted man he has become
morose, cross and stingy. Why,
when he was about half full he was
one of the cheerfulest men you ever
saw, and he never came home without
remembering to bring something.
Why, I've let him in many a time at
2 and o'clock in the morning, when
he would drop right down in the par
lor and go to sleep on the oilcloth,
but 1 could always depend on finding
turkey, or can of oysters, or ham,
or something lying alongside of him.
Yes, he was q good man when he was
drunk. He was fuller'n goose when
he bought the piano and my watch,
and everything else that cost more
than fifteen cents. But that's all
over with now. and / wish I was

fresh food of tears and refused to be

UTAH FISH STORY

They sat around the White House
stove swapping lies, and when Jack
son had exhausted his store Jones
opened his sample case and began.
Il was down in Water canon,
Southeast Nevada, last fall, near
Mormon Spring, where the water
rushes through and under noun
tain thirty five miles across"
"Tunnelled perhaps" said Jack
son.
mo, it's natural water course,
and comes out boiling on 'tother side
then runs off in big stream"
"How does it perforate the noun
taina" said jackson.
"There's series Of beautiful falls,
with nice steps leading down, then a
deep pool as clear as crystal, with
plenty of mountain trout sporting at
the bottom. One day band Of
Apache Indians pitched their wick
ups near this stream, and an old
buck and his squaw, hearing the
rushing waters below, went down the
natural stairway to the stream. The
old buck seeing the trout in the bot.
tom, made his squaw dive for them
"And did she do it? asked Jack
son.
"You bet, for Indian bucks won't
stand foolishness. But the squav
didn't come up. She went clear un
der that mountain and came Out
'tother side, thirty five miles"
did it drown her." said jackson
who had become very much inter
ested in the fate of squaw.

THE GREAT NORTHWEST.

This Northwest territory, at last
reclaimed from the hunter and trap
per, is large enough to give Canada
half a dozen or more provinces as
productive as any Of the Western
States. On its prairie lands can be
raised better wheat and roots than in
Illinois and Iowa; this, too, year after
year. probably for 20 years, without
the use of manures, as the expert
ence of the old settlers of the Red
River Valley has conclusively proved.
The wheat produces sounder flour
than that of Illinois or Indiana, and
the soil is easily titled all over the
r irie region. AS the tourist trav-
els day after day over these rich
lands his eye becomes perfectly
wearied with the munotony of the
.sendless sea of verdure," only broken
at intervals by the muddy shallow
streams and lakes that, for the most
part, water the region. But, monot-
onous as seems the landscape, 1t
represents to the practical eye a vast
heritage of comfort and wealth.
Here the settler can, with a very lit.
tie labor, raise his crops, and avoid all
the toll of clearing the forest, which
is ons 1t the troublesome features OF
pioneer life in the old provinces. The
most valuable districts of the terri
tory are watered by the Red, Assini-
boine, Saskatchewan and Peace Riv-
ers; and many years must elapse be-
fore the rich Ian Is can be exhausted
even if the tide of immigration flows
nto the country with the same rapid
ity as it has poured for several dec
ades of years into the Western States
Where the prairie lands end stretches
a rolling country toward and up the
slopes Of the Rocky Mountains
where herds of cattle can be raised
far more profitably than in the States
to the South; and there have been al
ready established in that section sew
eral large branches" the beginning
of a productive industry, in view OF
the yearly increasing demand fol
animal food for expectation. One
fine province has already been carved
out of the territory, and others vii
soon follow as the necessity arises fol

Next to the young doctor sat a pretty

The doctor was devoting himself assidu-

tbs child, looking up Tito his manly face,
gave scream of delight which attracted
the attention OF every one in the car, and
holding up its hands, cried "Pspa,

looked at the growing youngster and then
at the surrounding faces, where smiles
