ChOslng His Wife.

A young man was courting two young
ladies at one time, and loved them both so
well that he was in considerable quandary
which one to marry. He was certain that
he could get either one, for they both en-
couraged his attentions. He finally con-
cluded to use a little stratagem. So one day
he mounted his horse, rode out to see his
fair friends and hitched his horse at the gate
of the first one. Going into the house in
pretended haste, he told the girl his horse
was sick, and asked if she could give him
any bread scrapings out of the tray as that
was a good remedy. ooh, la yes, lots of 'em"
was the answer, and going to the kitchen
she soon returned with painful of dry
dough. He took them and disposed of them
in some way, concluding that girl raised
to such waste in the kitchen would be neith-
er neat nor economical wife. The next
girl had the same trial, but this was his an
swer, mo, sir, always wash out my tray

very wisely chose the latter girl for wife

THROUGH THE SNOW.

For what should watch when the snow lies white
On the top of the distant hill?
For what should listen when all is hush'd
And when even the brook is still:
wait for know that my love will come,
On some errand of mercy bent,
And my ladys face will be glad and bright
With a charm of sweet content.
50 | wait for the crackle of frozen snow,
For step that setteth my heart aglow,
For a voice whose music too well know,
As my lady comes through the snow.
! know she will come, for the snow is hard
When it lies at the poor mans door,
And therefore my love with her gentle heart
Thinks the rich should befriend the poor.
And perchance II may even be
My lady shall learn from to-day to own
That her pity should reach to me.
so | wait for the crackle of frozen snow,
For step that setteth my heart aglow,
For a voice whose music too well know,
AS my lady comes through the snow.
And then when she comes thro' the crisp white
snow,
Will she meet with glad surprise:
Ah then shall read what my heart would know
In the CLEAN of her sweet blue eyes"
] know she will give me at least smile,
And my heart in its light shall glow
For love, in its warm h, can defy the cold,
And can laugh though the north winds blow.
so wait for the crackle of frozen snow,
For step that setteth my heart aglow,
For a voice whose music too well know,
As my lady comes through the snow.

The diamond fields of South Africa pro-
duce large quantities of yellow diamonds
This color, of course, lessons the value con-
siderably, and white diamond is worth
five to six times as much as yellow one of
the same weight and quality. 1t was re-
Gently reported that method of removing
the color had been discovered. Such is the
case, but the important addition has to be
made that the yellow reappears after slight
washing, as some French merchants lately
found out to their cost, after purchase, at a
high price, of some perfectly white dia-
monds. The method is simple application
of the law of complementary colors. The
yellow diamond is put in some violet solu-
tion A slight coating of violet sufices to

A New Railway.

Senator Grover, of Oregon, has introduced
bill granting the right of way over the
public lands in Washington Territory to the
Puget Sound Il Canadian Railway Company,
and for other purposes. 1t grants right of
way 100 feet wide to the company to build
road from II point on Puget Sound, via
Bellingham Bay, to the northern boundary
of the State, or to the 10th degree north lat
itude, to connect with the proposed road in
British Columbia, to connect with the line
to join the Canadian Pacific. The company
is empowered to build bridges and take
land, not exceeding forty acres in any one
place, for depots and sidings. The road is
public highway for the use of the govern
ment. When the governor of Washington
Territory shall certify that ten miles of the
road have been completed, the company shall
have the right to buy, in legal subdivisions,
not exceeding $50 sections of public land,
within fifteen miles on each side of the line
completed, at,S125 per acre; and with each
following completed ten miles, the right to
purchase land as aforesaid is given. If the
lands are not selected and paid for within
five years from. the date of the Governors
certificate, the right expires, and if the road
is not completed within six years the grant
expires.

Rattlesnake versus Blacksnake.
Fort Worth Dumocrat.

On the other side Of the Santa Fe water
tanks fight occurred between rattlesnake
and a blacksnake. The rattlesnake was ap-
parently on journey, and the meeting was
quite accidental. At first the rattlesnake
sought to avoid a difficulty, but, when the
blacksnake pressed the matter, he halted
and folded his length into coil. The black
snake glided around in increasingly swift
circles; the rattlesnake never changed his
position-only. his head went round, follow
ing the swift movements of his foe. But the
circle still diminished it's size, and as the
blacksnake drew close the rattlesnake ap-
peared to grow confused. His rattles ceased
to give out the sharp sound, and his head
dropped as if vertigo was seizing him. The
blacksnake seized, by lightning movement,
the rattler by the throat, and. winding him
up in folds, the two rolled over and over to-
gether, and in few moments the rattle
snake ceased to breathe. An examination
of the dead body of the rattlesnake revealed
a fracture in the spine as complete as if done
by blow with club. The rattlesnake
measured, dead, five feet and three inches.

The Prevention of Scales in Boilers.

A writer in the Lumber World says that
officers of the French navy, who have been
experimenting for several years, have come
to the positive conclusion that the fatty acids
created by the decomposition of lubricators
and all lime deposits in boilers, may really
be largely obviated by the continual use of
zinc plates deposited within the boilers. 1t
is asserted that the zinc in contact with the
metallic iron of the boiler, forms mild vol
taic circle which not only prevents lime de-
posits, but also gradually decomposes small
quantities OF the water, thus liberating its
component gases, oxygen and hydrogen. The
oxygen combines with the zinc, forming
oxide of zinc, which combines with the fatty
acids, mingled with the feed water, forming
soaps Of zinc, which adhere both to the shell
and tubes of the boiler, and effectu-
ally prevent the adhesion of salts left by
evaporation. When the boilers are cleaned
out, which should always be done once a
week, or certainly not less than once in two
weeks, the fixed matter will be found in
SOFT grainy state, instead of being hard and
crystalline. The hydrogen combines with
the water, and it is asserted that the latter is
thereby prevented from becoming super
heated, and thus rendered liable to explosion.
There are many mysterious and unaccount-
able phenomena connected with boiler ex-
plOsions, which, as yet, are undiscovered. 1t
is known that by long boiling all air and
gaseous matters become expelled from the
water, which then superheated, introduces
an element of danger But by using zinc in
boiler, continual supply of gas is kept
up, and all danger of superheating is obvia-
ted The hydrogen not only starts the boil
ing but keeps it up. 1t is, of course, nee
nccox 49, %o1- {Ia- la@o I'll he
the boiler occasionally, and thoroughly clean
them from all of the adhering matters, or
this galvanic action must cease altogether,
when no clean surfaces are offered for chemi-
cal action. Zine is cheap, and should be
used in slabes not less than half an inch
thick, severel inches wide and at least foot

SENATOR JONES.
How he is said to Have Won q Pile at
Poker.
Stockton New Mail.

George l.. Water, the colored ianitor OF
the City Hall, related an incident to-day to a
1udH reporter concerning big poker game in
which Senator John p Jones, of Nevada
was player. Waters had been in the en-
ploy OF certain Congressman around the Cap
ltol at Washington for many years, and his
statement may be accepted as true 1t was
several years ago, before the millionaire had
become thoroughly posted in the ways OF
washington society. Almost before he had
thoroughly warmed his seat in the Senate he
was introduced into the District Club, OF
which Boss Shepherd was prominent mem
Der. Poker at that time was the prominent
recreation OF the club, and Jones was in
duced to take hand. Although a good
poker player, he retired from the game a
loser to the amount of $4,000. The Sena-
tor, having few silver mines at his back for
pocket money, was game and did not allow
the least expression of chagrin or distrust to
escape him. The next morning he tele-
graphed to one of the most expert card
sharps in Virginia City Eight days after
ward the gambler arrived in Washington,
dressed in very expensive suit of clothes
and sporting small fortune in the way of
diamonds. Jones introduced him to the
club as a ming millionaire from Nevada, and
the star route frauds and navy yard thieves
Immediately made arrangements to pluck
him. He accepted an invitation to play.
The stakes ran high, and the spurious mil
liOnaire was well supplied with Jones' money.
At the end OF the tournament the stranger
rose from the table the winner of SSOO,OOO
of the club. 1t was a severe blow to the
ringsters, but they made the people of the
United States pay it back to them indirect
ly and in short order. Jones divided the
swag with his friend and never set foot in
the club room again.
