The Northern Boundary.

The whole of this boundary, from Michi-
gan to Alaska, has been distinctly marked
by the British and American Commission
ers, and some interesting details have been
published of the way in which this difficult
task was accomplished. The boundary is
marked by stone cairns, iron pillars, wood
pillars, earth mounds and timber posts.
These structures vary from five feet in
height to fifteen feet, and there are 385 of
them between the Lake of the Woods and
the base of the Rocky Mountains. That
portion of the boundary which lies east and
west of the Red River Valley is marked by
cast-iron pillars at even mile intervals.
The British place one every two miles,
and the United States one between each
British post. The pillars are hollow iron
castings, and upon the opposite faces are
cast, in letters two inches high, inscription,
Convention of London" and "October 20,
1878" The average weight of each pillar
when completed is eighty-fve pounds.
With regard to the wooden posts, the In
dians frequently cut them down for fuel, and
nothing but iron will last very long Where
the line crosses lakes, mountains of stone have
been built, the base being in some places
eighteen feet under water, and the tops pro-
jecting some eight feet above the surface
of the lake at high-water mark. In forests,
the line is marked by telling the timber a
rod wide and clearing away the underbrush.
AS might well be imagined, the work of
cutting through the timbered swamps was
very great, but it has all been carefully and
thoroughly done. The pillars are all set
four feet in the ground in ordinary cases,
with their inscription faces to the north and
south, and the earth is well settled and stam-
ped about them. The iron posts afford lit
tie temptation for dislodgment and convey
ing away by the Indians. Chicago Jour

Hon. Charles B. Roberts, of Carroll coun-
ty, having used for some years Peruvian
Guano, (which cost him $40 per tom enter
taned very good opinion of its merits. L
proposed to Mr.; Roberts that II ne should try
one ton of the "Star Bone Phosphate, and
if it did not do equally as we'll as Peruvian
Guano, would charge him nothing for it.
He consented to try a halfton of ''Star Bone"
on each of his farms, with the following results:
Mr.. Adams, "a tenant on his farm near Union
town, writes as follows:
Uniontown, Nd, July 25, 1888.
James E. Smith, Dear Sir According to
Mr.. Robert instructions l used last fall one
half ton of J. E. Tygert & Co.'S. Star Bone
Phosphate sold by you, sowing the same
through the middle of field on either side of
which | had used Peruvian Guano in the same
proportion with the Star Bone. l have no
hesitation in saying that the wheat where the
EES+or 1uoc mead waS dapidadlV better
than that upon which the Peruvian Guano was
used. Yours, &c. EVAN ADAMS.
Mr.. John T. Baust writes as follows:
Westminster, July 25, 1883.
James E. Smith, Dear Sir With the per-
mission of Mr.. Roberts l tried j. E. Tygert
& Co.'S. Star Bone Phosphate sold by you
last fall, using one-half ton. 1t was sown
along side of the Peruvian Guano and in same
proportion; there was but little difference in
the yield of wheat, but the difference through
small was in favor Of Star Bone.
Yours truly, JOHN 7. BAUsT.
JAMES E. SMIrH.SIR This is to certify
that used nearly two tons OF j. E; ,Iygert
Co.'S. "Star-B Bone Phosphate" sold by you,
beside the old fashioned Peruvian Guano-
for which paid $40 per ton-and yours did
as well and made me as much wheat per acre
as did the Peruvian Guano, there being diff
ference of S11 per ton in your favor. L will
want eight tons of it this fall.

Samuel g. Kirby, well-known cabinet
maker who died recently at Washington,
was borne in Maryland during the closing
year of the last century. He was reputed
the best furniture maker in the District,
and furnished many of the official and other
costly houses there before manufactures
were established. Mr.. Kirby had several
very marked characteristics, the most prom
inent being perfect horror of tobacco.
He would not tolerate man about him who
was either smoking or chewing and had
his place of business placarded with prohib-
itions against the use of tobacco. On one
occasion before the war wealthy Georgian
had bought very large bill of goods, but
hesitated over handsome centre able.
He returned with his wife after dinner,
having decided to take it. But he had
lit cigar on leaving the hotel, and when
he entered the store Mr.. Kirby peremptori-
ly ordered him out. On another occasion
NJ. Kirby was driven to Brightwood with
a gentleman, who on starting back lit
cigar. Mr.. Kirby announced his intention
of walking back, and alighted without Civ
ing any explanation to his companion, who
was unaware of his idiosyncrasy

may try to picture how hundreds of thous-
ands of people, panic stricken, ran to and
fro, and prayed and cried for help-parents
seeking to save their children, husbands
their wives, children their parents. But
imagination could not picture the horrors
of such dreadful scene as that which was
lately witnessed on the eastern shores of
the Sunda Strait, when tens of thousands
fmen, women, and children were destroyed,
and many million tons of ashes and lava
were thrown from the mountains upon the
plains and into the sea.

A QUEER TREE.-The queerest of trees
must be the baobab, or monkey bread 1t
grows to the height Of forty feet, "but its
girth is entirely out of proportion to its
height, some trees being thirty feet in
diameter. An old baobab in Africa is, then,
more like forest than single tree. Their
age is incalculable.' Humboldt considers
them as Hthe oldest living organic monu-
ments of our planet. Some trees are be-
lieved to be 5000 years old. You can cut
good sized room into the trunk of baobab,
with comfortable Accommodations for thirty
men, and the tree lives on and fourishes.
1t produces fruit about foot long, which is
edible. AS an example of slow growth in
England, baobab at Kew, though more
than eighty years old, has only attained a
height of four and half feet A kindred
species of the African baobab grows in
Australia. They have been measured, being
thirty feet high, with girth Of eighty-fve
feet

remember the time when 1 used to sit.
happy and thoughtless boy,
When father came home from his work al last'
And was tired of my toy: .........
7 remember the time and none more sweet
Shall know forevermore,
When sat at eve by my mothers side,
On the still of the old front door.
I remember I'd sit till fell asleep,
And list to their loving talk,
While the crickets chirped and the re-fies orlgh'
Flew over the garden walk;
And often would father tell the tale,
OF the time, long years before
When he led his bride to happy home,
over the sill of old front door
1 remember when grandfather failed and died.
And eighty years old was he,
And well knew that never again
He would ride me upon his knee;
And though but gay and thoughtless boy
Iwept, and my heart was sore
When saw them bear him slowly out
Ger the sill of the old front door
1t is many weary day since then,
And l, too, am old and gray;
But the tears come crowding to my eyes
When think of that long-pa day;
And only hope that whatever end
Fate may have for.me in store,
1 shall pass once more, ere pass away,
Der the sill of the old front door.

as she, leaning far out of window, wept
bitterly, he would have forgiven the bitter
words. As it was they parted in anger.
Left alone, Frederick paced up and down
the room. In his despair he murmured
aloud: II have been driveling fool-a
madman For three years [ have devoted
my time, heart, and fortune to the service
of this heartless woman; one day rewarded
with smiles, the next with frowns To-
morrow, when the bills are paid for debts
incurred for this night, I shall be absolutely
penniless- my fo ne spent upon this
vain firt, who is undeserving the name OF
woman. Yes, tomorrow my horses, furnl-
ture, and plate will be sold, my servants
discharged, and all that will remain to me
is this old castle, and my faithful nurse Mar
garet, who will not leave me and my falcon.
This building now ringing with the sounds
of music, dancing, and merry laughter,
will be closed, to become the sanctuary OF
rats and owls. For myself, shall with
draw from society, and in this small,
gloomy tower, support my proverty and
despair as best I may. have been worse
than foolish-I have been wicked. But
this unmanly repining will not do. |
must rejoin my guests.
So saying, Frederick replaced the falcon
on his perch near the window, and forcing
a gay smile and careless air, sauntered into
the ballroom, and from that time till the
company left, he was seemingly the gayes'
of the gay.
