BEWARE of reputed representatives of met
ropolitan journals who are unable to produce
proper credentials. The country is full of
them. Their excess of check and stories of
phenominal success completely staggcr the
ordinary newspaper man.. 1t is just as well
for those who desire to patronize metropolitan
journals to send their money direct to the
publisher, and then they know they will got
something in return for their money. Give
the so-calIed agent wide berth

PARTY of capitalists, largely interested in
real estate at Hot Springs, Arkansas, have
.purchascd the fairest portion of the property
in and around Poncha, and it is claimed they
will at once erect one of the finest hotels and
sanitariums upon it in the west. The climate
of the Arkansas valley is very equable, the
scenery uncxcelled, access by rail now COM
plete, and we see no single obstacle in the
way of making Poncha a really great summer
resort.

TIE status of Lake county, as mining
district, despite the disparagement which
other sections attempt to place upon it, is to-
day better than ever before. Their smelters
are inadequate to the demands, and others
must be provided. Gov. Grant recognizes
this fact, and we have it on excellent author
ity, will this summer erect the largest smelt-
ing works in the State, at Leadville.

crookedness in the management of the Inter-

mean way. We believe Mr.. Teller is able
to refutc any charge of corruption that may
be brought against him, and as for the rest of
the charges they are simply squabble for

The "HOming" Faculty.

must say that l much doubt
whether the faculty which enables
dogs and other animals to find their
way home is rightly called intelligence.
although intelligence, no doubt, fre
quently has some share in the result.
Human beings are much more intelli-
gent than dogs and yet how few OF
them, placed Unexpectedly in the same
circumstances as poor "Jacob"-that is,
carried off in the dark along streets
and roads altogether unknown to them,
to place miles away, where they had
never been BEFORE and to the position
and bearings of which they had not
the very slightest clue-how few of
them, say, would within a reasonable
time find their way back again. at least
if they trusted to their intelligence
alone, and did not ask questions or con-
suit maps. Cats, on the other hand,
are rightly regarded as less intelligent
than dogs, and yet they enjoy the rep
utation of being more skilful in finding
their home again. A calf, too, is COM
monty supposed to be type rather of
stupidity than intelligence, and yet l
know of one instance which seems to
show that this "homing" faculty is or
may be, at least as strong in calf as
in the most intelligent of dogs. Some
fifteen years ago l was staying at a
friends house at Linton, a small mar
ket town about ten miles from Cam
bridge On the morning after my ar
rival | perceived that something I'M
usual was going on outside the house,
and on making inquiry l was told that
a calf six weeks old, which had be-
longed to my friend, but had been sold
the previous afternoon and carried
away in a cart to a farmhouse some
five miles distant, had come back home
W 1Co lhOCISl. 4NOh, Iuu GIG Call
come back along the road by which the
cart had conveyed it to its new home,
much surprise would, no doubt, have
been felt at such signal instance of
sagacity in so young an animal; still,
there would not have been ANYTHING
particularly extraordinary in the mat
ter. But the calf had not followed the
road, which was circuitous, in conse-
quence of the hilly character of the
country. A boy had seen it start off
from the farm, and had followed it the
whole of the way, vainly attempting
to catch it, and so the route it had
taken was known. 1t had gone at "A
quick pace in the most direct line pos
sible from its new home to its old one,
and in doing SO it had climbed hill
and passed through a wood which
crowned the summit of that hill.
Here, surely, the faculty which guided
the calf was not intelligence alone

Connection Between COlOrs and
Sounds.

Some curious experiments have late
ly been made to show the connection
between colors and sounds. The
blind, it is well known, often translate
sound into colCr An Ophthalmologist
of Nantes discovered that a sharp note
produced on one of his patients a
brighter, and a fiat note darker i'm
preston of color. Different musical
instruments have given different re-
suits. The saxophone brought out a
sense Of yellow the clarionet, of red !;
the piano, of blue. The impressions
produced by the human voice were
more delicate shades of yellow, green,
red and blue The seat of the color
was always in the direction of the
sound. In choir-singing, NJ Pedrono's
patient noticed a multitude of colors
formed in small points above the heads
Of the choristers."
Analogous to these were the expert
ments of Prof. Holeman, of Philadel-
phia to show the effect of sound on
the colors and figures in soap-bubbfes
A film of soap being placed across tho
end of phoneidoscope, was reflected
On a canvas screen, where it assumed
bluish-gray appearance. An intona-
ton of the voice through tube con-
nected with the film first brought a
number of black spots on the reflection.
These passing away were succeeded by
a beautiful light green, mingled with
pink. The same tone would always
cause the same figure to appear, but
had no control over the color, which
might be blue at one time and yellow at
another.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Prof. G. Sormani and DR.. i. Brug-
natelli have failed to detect the para
ute of tuberculosio in the breath
Of consumptive patients, making II
appear that consumption is not
infectious.
! During his late journey In Central
Asia, DR.. Venukoff discovered the
horse, the camel and the goose in their
wild state. They showed no fear OF
man even after some of their number
had been shot.
Volcanic disturbances In the island
of Ischia are usually preceded by
turbid appearance of water in baths
where it is generally clear To detect
such change arrangements have beer
made for regular chemical examina
tions Of the baths as well as of wells
and springs.
The Geological Gardens of Berlin
contain living specimen Of new
ostrich, which has just been described
by DR.. Reichenow under the name OF
Struthio Molybdophanes. This species
inhabits the deserts of Somali Land
and the Western Gala country, ex.
tending on the east coast of Africa
from 10 degrees north latitude TO the
equator.
Prof. Tyndall has found that
the moisture in the air OF
an ordinary room absorbs fifty to sew
enty times as much of the radiant heat
as the air does. Moisture is the regu-
lator and cOnservatOr of the heat, and
in due quantity acts like blanket, by
protecting us from too sudden cool
ing or heating. Hot-air furnaces, or
any other heating apparatus which
overheats the air, and dries and
scorches it are therefore unhealthy

it rises from the banks of the Potomac
a great, white, marble shaft, piercing

grandest obelisk the world has ever
seen, and in the 8ons of the future,
should the nations of the day pass
away, leaving no more records of their
progress than the mighty ones Of the
Egyptian past, it would surpass the
pyramids in the wonder of its construc-
tion. 1t is already higher than the
third pyramid, and within hundred
feet Of the size of the second. 1t is
taller than ST. Peters cathedral, and
when finished it will be the highest
structure in the world. To-day the

The Song OF the Hem.

A minstrel am of a single lay
But sing it the whole day long,
In the crowded coop or the breezy way
warble my simple song.
Only an egg, with its clear white shell.
The sea hath no pearl more fair
And over that spheroid / cackle and yen,
And halo and wrestle and rear.
Oh, irail, weak thing Is my ovate gem,
AS it lies In my straw lined nest;
But il raketh the orator, stern and stem,
When it catcheth him on the crest.
There is might in its weakness, and when 10
goes
Down the afternoon OF lie,
1t can lead a strong man by the nose
When it mixeth itself In the strife.
Iam no slugger; the hawk that swoopS
Must hunt for me in the thatch,
And yet in the field or the noisy coops,
always come up to the scratch.
So ! sing the only lay that know,
In numbers becomingly meek;
Because, though "my son never sets, know
That my life will be ended necks weak.

A Japanese Sch0Olhouse. .

Beside, the clear, crystal waters of q
running stream and surrounded with
lilies, says correspondent, writing
from Japan, we noticed on our way up
Tuji-Yama, the japanese sand noun
tain, what we thought to be a school
house and our curiosity prompted us to
ask admittance. There were some fif-
teen children in the room, which was
furnished with long, plain tables
There appeared to be no check upon
the children, who were moving about
and conversing with each other. The
master was teaching the smaller ones
the characters of the written language
by writing them on blackboard and
requiring them to repeat the sounds
indicated by them. Some were engag-
ed in writing upon their states, others
in arithmetical calculations and others
in reading or committing to memory
from textbooks. There seemed to be
an entire freedom from restraint and
we were surprised at the happy and
contented manner in which they pur-
sued their studies. Bright and intelli-
gent little fellows they looked, and
from what we have seen Of the youth
Of Japan we are convinced there is
much to be expected from them.

ments, wound round the tiger, and We
could hear the bones being crushed
one after the other. The roar the tiger
gave at the first squeeze was appalling;
but in few moments the roars turned

sound, and gradually they, too, ceased,
while the contortions of the snake con.

we had dozed for awhile, when We

of flesh
Peeping over our leafy panoply,
there was tiger, or tigress, making a
meal off either the snake, its own kind
or the dead man. The moon was un-
der cloud. so | waited patiently until
it. shOne again, and then aiming as

both barrels, and the tigrcss, for such
she proved, rolled over and over, growl-

into the ravine, whence we could hear
her until close upon daylight, when it
ceased and, with it, | knew either
that she had crawled away or died,
Waiting until full daylight, we de-
scended from our perch. We first
sought the tigress. She lay dead. We
then examined the three bodies, which
presented much the appearance of La

several hours, when we tried TO unrav-
ell the coils from the tigers body they
resisted so stoutly that | had to send
to the village for assistance With the
aid of over twenty men, and by cut

body of the wood-cutter and stretched
out the body of the python it meas

bitten clean through the vertebre just
behind the junction of the head and
body. The tiger, one of the largest
ever saw, as he measured 10 feet 2
inches in length, was as if he had been
beaten into a jelly his bones were
crushed to powder. The poor wood
cutter was cremated the same after
noon; the two tigers and snake were

The Long, Long Days.


The wind has found its dream
I'm grasses deep and cool,
The lilies their still pool,
The willow its fair stream;
The rose Its crown of flowers,
The leaves their silver showers,
In the long, long days.
The bird, has found its mate,
The bee its clover bloom,
The wildwood its perfume,
The brook the rivers gate;
And peace and drowsy sleep
Their charmed watches keep,
Ger the lolg, long days.
The sea has found its rest,
The 1ver its white sails,
The hills their purple wells,
The heart its eager quest.
And now life standing still,
Has neither wish nor will,
In the long, long days.
Starlight and sunset meet.
Above the dreaming flowers,
Time dare not speed his hours,
The stiffness is so sweet,
But bids them hush aud wait,
For fear of waking Fate,
In the long, long days!

Oricin OF the Reclining Chair,

Mr.. Henry Havard, in his recently
published work, "L'Art dams lie Sa-
lon," attributes the invention Of the
reclining chair to curious piece of
etiquette scrupulously observed in
France during the period of the old
French monarchy. Whenever the king
visited an invalid whose illness
was Of such character as to force him
to keep his bed, a second bed was inva-
riably placed in the room close to the
sufferers couch. His majesty reclined
on the spare bed, and lay in recum-
bent posture during the entire time
occupied by the visit. When Louis
XIII visited Cardinal Richelieu during
his illness, this cumbrous etiquette was
rigidly adhered to, as it was likewise
when Louis XIV went to see Marshal
Villars after he received his wound.
The second bed, by successive modif-
cations, became eventually the mod
ern reclining chair.-St. James Gazette.
