HENRY MILLER'S LUCK.

California Eye
Nestled close by the saloon at Grand
Forks, in the very heart of the peaks
of the Sierras, was the home of Henry
Miller, q brother of Joaquin Miller. He
had very sensible woman for q wife,
who bore him beautiful son.
When the child was three weeks old
Mr.. Miller, in waggish way, told the
"boys" he had "struck it rich" and had
at that very time nugget at his house
that weighed twelve pounds. If any oi
them doubted his word, they could call
at the house at any time and be con-
vinced.
In few minutes delegation oi
miners filed out of the saloon and made
stright line for Miller's home.
They were very courteously received
by Mrs. Miller, who listened to the
story of their errand, and with twinkle
in her eyes, concluded to keep up the
joke. The speaker of the party be-
gan:
"They tell us, Mrs Miller, that your
husband has struck it rich"
"Indeed he has," replied Mrs. Mil.
ler.
"Has he pre-empted his claim?"
IL think he certainly has"
"What price does he ask for his
mine?"
Il really don't think he would take o
cool million for it,"
''Is the specimen very fine?"
"Indeed, it is more precious than dia
mOnds to me-"
"Let us see it, will you?"
Certainly" said Mrs. Miller, as she
advanced to the cradle and lifted out {
handsome tweIve-pound boy, and exhib
tied it to the astonished gaze of the
good-hearted but puzzled miners. The,
took the Joke very good-naturedly, ant
laughing heartily left the house withou
very ceremonious leave-taking
Mackay, the millionaire, was one OF til,
duped miners.

IN OLD EDITORS EMPHATIC
CONDEMNATION.

A correspondent of The Baltimore
American encountered on q Hudson
river steamboat a tough, iron-gray old
editor who delivered an angry TRADE on
descriptive excursion letter-writing.
Among other things, the harsh old man
said: "There has been very little
chance or variety since the first book of
synonyms and poetical quotations was
published. Each and every year is a
renascent period in which all the de-
scriptive literature is given new lease
of life, rehashed and sent to the news
papers for publication. The same old
adjectives, the same old smiles, the
same old phrases come around as regu-
lar as the seasons themselves, and the
same Hesperian skies that glowed when
Ben Franklin put up the first printing
press get this same annual puff now as
when Ben went into the newspaper
business. Young man, take my advice
destroy that letter; kill that nonsense;
in the silent waters of the Hudson
drown those adjectives. What the peo-
pie want to read is news, gossip, facts,
Incidents, anecdotes gush. Let
descriptions along. Don't make your
self ridiculous by failing to do what
Washington Irving has already done so
we'll The descriptive writer must go.
Public morality demands his extermina-
tion. The editorial hereafter depends
upon it,"

A PUBL ZSHER,S MISTAKE.

Detroit Free Press.
A good many years ago, it is said, one
OF the leading publishers in Paris was
offered manuscript by a pale youw9
man with large forehead. The pub
Usher glanced over the pages and saw
that the work was in verse. Without
attempting to read it, he handed it po'
litely back to the young author, with a
few of the usual phrases-poetry was o
drug in the market; business was un'
usually dull, etc. II am sorry for youl
sake" said the young man, haughtily
81 was about to propose to you con
tract, by which 1 would have secured tc
you the right to all the future produc'
tions of my pen. 1t is fortune 1 was
about to offer you, but you refuse, and
no more need be said" Struck by his
strange manner, the publisher re-
flected, and then fastened after hi
visitor to call him back. But it was toe
late; the young man had disappeared
"Never before or sipce," the old gentle
man would say, when relating the
story, shave met with young author
who so fully believed in his owl
powers, or with one who had 80 mucf
reason for such belief; for my visitor
was Victor Hugo"

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
LESSON TO RECKLESS DIsCRIPLINARI-
ANS OF THE NURSERY.
Arkansam' Traveller.

ANS OF THE NURSERY.
ArkansaM' Traveller.
Few people seem to properly estimate
the great wrong of frightening children.
Nearly every household has its "ugly
old num-" or its "great old bear" This
terrible old man and this great old bear
are powerful factors in nursery discip-
line. "Come along here now" mother
or nurse will say to a child, "and let
me put you to bed" IL don't want to
20 now," the child replies. You'd bet
ter come on here now, or I'll tell that
ugly old man to come and take you
away. There he comes now." This
has the intended effect, and the child,
trembling in fear, submits at once and
goes to bed, probably to see in imagin-
alton all kinds of horrible faces.
The sad death Of a little girl, which
occurred recently, shows what strong
impression these 'boogers" make on the
minds of children. The little girl was
beautiful child, and everyone at the
fashionable clearinghouse where her
parents were spending the summer
months loved her with that purity of
affection which child so gently yet so
strongly inspires. She would stand at
the gate and clap her little hands in
glee when her father came to dinner,
and when he would take her on his
shoulder she would shout and call to
everyone to look how high she was.
One day large, shaggy dog came into
the yard, and when she ran to him and
held flower to his nose, he growled
and turned away. She was terribly
frightened, and the black nurse, who
stood near, was not slow in making a
mental note of the impression the dog
had made. Several nights afterwards,
when bed time came, the child was un-
usually wakeful.
"Yer'd better come heah an git in dis
bed" the nurse commanded.
II don't want to-
CAN right, den. Use gwine ont an
call dat ole dog what growled ut yer.
When he comes an fms yer outen de
bed, he'll bite yer head off,
The little girl grew deathly pale.
"Nuthin' would suit dat dog better
den ter git chance at yer. Tother
night he cotch little girl across de
road an eat her all up"
The child screamed.
"Come on here den, an I won't let
him ketch yer"
The poor little thing obeyed. Her
father and mother were at an entertain
ment and there was no appeal from the
negro woman's decision. When morn
ing came the little girl did not awake
with her glad good mornin' papa an
mamma" She had tossed all night
and hot fever had settled upon her.
She grew rapidly worse, and the next
day the physician declared that there
was no hope for her. She became de-
lirious, and struggling would exclaim:
DOG shan't have mammals little
grill"
1t was sorrowing circle that sur
rounded her death bed. The parents
were plunged into a grief which none
but the hearts of fathers and mothers
can feel.
Her last moments were series of
struggles. How hard the beautiful can
die. She wildly threw up her little
hands and shrieked:
$50 away, dogF'
A gentle hand wiped the death froth
from her lips.
Again she struggled and shrieked:
DOG shan't have" but she died ere
the sentence was finished

RAIN WROUGHT IN THE FOREST
How depressing it is to see acres of
trees cut down in the midst of noble
forest. How saddening it is also to see
that thin spot in the midst of your
otherwise abundant hair. Stop it at
once by the use of Parker's Hair Bal
sam. For actual efficiency this
famous article stands at the head of
its class. Elegant for the toilet,
delicious in odor, and restores the orig
inal color to gray or faded hair. Eco
nomical, as a slight, occasional appli-
cation keeps the hair and scalp in
perfect order.

FISH NOT BRAIN FOOD.

New Y ork SUM-
Sir Henry Thompson, the London
surgeon, recognizes in fish combina-
ton of all the elements of food that the
human body requires in almost every
phase of life, more especially by those
who follow sedentary employment. To
women he considers fish to be an in
valuable article of diet, but he scouts as
a complete fallacy the notion that fish
eating increases the brain power. "The
only action fish had on the brain was
to put mans body into proper rela-
tions with the work he had to do"

A NEW WAY OF BREAKING a
WILL.

A well-known American author-we
wish we could mention his name-died
lately, leaving large estate to his
children. They assembled to hear his
will read, all of them being married and
heads of families. An adopted daug oh
ter, who had offended their father, it
was found, was passed over in the will
with but trifing legacy. One of the
daughters interrupted the reading Of
the will.
Father, am sure, is sorry for that
by this time. A should have O
child's portion. We must make that
right"
The other children assented, eagerly.
A widowed daughter with large
family received an equal share with the
other children. One of the sons spoke
now. &c ought to have more than
we men who are in business and are
able to earn our living. will add so
much"-stating the sum-"to her por-
ton" The two remaining brothers
each agreed to give the same amount.
When the will had been read, one of
the elder children said, "There are
some of fathers old friends to whom he
would have given legacies if he had not
been ill and forgetful when this paper
was written. Shall We not make that
right?"
1t was done, cordially and promptly.
Now this was only the just action OF
just and honorable people; but how
rare such conduct is in persons to
whom legacies are given.
THE BARN STORMERS.
Cor Detroit Free Press.
You want to know what that crowd
meant we saw at Union Square-all
those men, mostly young, filling the
sidewalk for q whole block and just
standing there doing nothing? Why,
bless you, they are the barn stormers.
What's barn stormer, eh? Well, a
barn stormer is second or third-class
actor, who voes on the road with a
travelling company. The companies
play in all sorts of places, sometimes, it
is said, even in barns, though that is
probably putting it too strong. Any
way, the actors who go on the road
every season, as most of those we saw
down there do, are called barn stormers
for that reason.
Talent among themP Yes, quite good
deal of talent. Why, some of the best
actors we have were barn stormers at
one time or another. All the real good
characters come up from the ranks, you
know, and barn storming's nearly al
ways part of the apprenticeship. There
may be half o dozen embryo stars
among these young fellows at Union
Square. Why do they lounge at that
particular place? Because its the Ri
alto, the regular resort of the brother
hood, the place where managers and
agents come to make up "snap" com
panies, and, possibly, disband them af-
ter week. 1t is only in the summer
that the barn stormers lounge on the
Rialto. Nearly all are then out of
work, and many entirely out of cash.
When fall opens they start for the high
ways and byways, as members of travel
ing companies, and are not seen at
Union Square again until the next sum-
mer, unless, as often happens, the COM
panies break up on the road. The
stormers then get back as soon as they
can and any way they can, and wait
around for another snap.

*Glenn's Falls are ON the Hudson, some
forty or fifty miles above the head of tide, or
the place where the river becomes navigable
for rsloops. The description of this picturesque
and remarkable little cataract, asgiven by the
scout, is sufficiently correct, though the ap-
plication of the water to the uses of civilized
life has materially injured its beauties. The
rocky island and the two caverns are well
known to every traveller, since the former sus-
tains pier of bridge which now thrown
across the river, Immediately above the fall.
In explanation Of the taste Of Hawk-eye, it
should be remembered that men always prize
that most which is least enjoyed. Thus, in a
new country, the woods and other objects,
which in an old country would be maintain
ed at great cost, are got rid Of, simply with a
view of improving as it is called.

governed by the emphasis and tones.

WEAR AND TEAR OF DOCTORS
AND PREACHERS.

1NtW IOSu.
Sustained solitary thinking is some
thing of which very few men are capa-
BILE. To keep up what is called active
mindedness nearly everyone needs some
body to talk to. Conversation with a
friend is enough for most, but those
who have more to say find sermon or
magazine article just the kind of intel
lectual stimulus they need. What
probably most wears on clergyman's
nerves are his pastoral duties, which do
not consist simply in consoling people
in great trials, but in listening to their
fussy accounts of small things. Nine
tenths of minister's patients, like
doctors. do not know what Is the mat
ter with them, and consult physi-
clan largely because they take
comfort in talking to anybody about
themselves, and doctors and clergymen
are the only persons who are bound to
listen to them. A professor or teacher
is somewhat similarly situated. His
business is the most wearing of human
occupations-that ofputting knowledge
into heads only half willing to receive
it, and persuading large number OF
people to do their duty to whom duty IS
odious.
To these men summer school of
philosophy or theology, or something
else must be repose of the best sort.
1t gives light work of the kind they
love, free from all nagging, and in good
air and fine scenery. At such schools,
too, one finds uses for "papers" that no
periodical will print, and which no au-
dience would assemble to listen to in q
city in the busy part of the year, and
to many men an audience of any sort,
interested OF uninterested, is a great
luxury.

is an established rule among them to
allot one day for each of the different

one day for cutting down the trees and
underwood one day for clearing what
has been so cut down; one day for SOW

one for reaping; one for binding up the

carried home in one day, it is left to rot
