Danish Amuscment.

II is called in Danish rutschban, and
may as well be dubbed in English rush
railway. A tower stands at either end
of a railway, which is perhaps $50 feet
in length, 40 feet high at one extremity,
and half as high at the other. /
climbed the rude staircase of the higher
tower, and found myself in n room
crowded with people waiting their OPP
pOrtunity for ride. AT the entrance
stood phaeton-like car on four small
iron wheels, the car being very stout
and holding two people with comfort.
The wheels were in grooves, and the
course extended over the descending
and ascending slopes. The people
would get into car and be strapped in
by leathern boot; the car would DO
started down the inclined plane by an
attendant, and away it would 90 down
the first slope, and by its impetus rise
to the next height, go over and down
and up again, at each rise pitching
little lower, at each pitch rising to
lesser height, until the last slope, when
it rushed up the hill, bumped against
buffer, and the two travellers got out.
The car would then be seized, dragged
aside, put upon lift, hauled up to a
height above, and sent back, with other
passengers or empty, down q CORES
ponding road parallel to the first, and
terminating in similar low tower by
the side of the one l was in, where it
would be hoisted again into place, and
be ready to make the round of the rush
railway again.
l stood by the entrance where the
car started down, watching the couple
get into the vehicle and then 90
laundering down the slope. l saw Sc
date men who might have been bank
presidents get in, and children, and
ardent youths and maidens, two by
two. They held each other in; they
almost lost their hats; they bowed, and
fell back upon the huge "thank-you-
ma'ams''; they looked frightened, and
they looked bold; they smiled, and
they almost cried; but l heard no one
scream. At length, when L had po-
litely given way to those more eager,
was driven by shame and an ineXtin-
guishable curiosity to try this reckless
"coast." / paid the fare-about two
and half cents-and took my seat. L
jammed my hat down over my brow,
grasped the back of the car with one
hand, and no doubt turned pale as the
push was given and we began that
awful descent. l felt that thrilling
sensation of vibration in the pit of my
stomach which one has in swing
when descending, and then we shot up
the slope, saw new abyss, and
plunged into it. A delicious reprieve
was followed by another fearful de-
scent; four times we dashed in the
face of fate, and then, with one tri-
umphant rush, flew up the last incline.
l got out of the car with my wits
standing on end, and tumbled down
the staircase in bewildered, groggy
way, anxious to get my legs upon the
immovable earth again.
There was no installing the thor
ough enjoyment which everybody took
in this amusing place, and the decorum
and good feeling seemed to come by

Los Angeles Orange Groves.

Not everybody has seen an orange
grove. But everybody has an idea,
from description or otherwise, if he has
not seen for himself, of how an orange
grove looks. had an idea, but it was
not the correct one. For instance, L
never saw or heard it stated that orange
groves are plowed, narrowed, and
hoed, and kept as free from grass as q
vegetable garden, but such is the fact;
and when 1 saw my first "grove" stand
ing on plowed ground, instead of on
pasture land like the apple orchard in
New England, recorded the event as
surprise No. 1. Again, while standing
amid cluster of orange trees, and OBJ
serving the profusion of great golden
globes pendent upon the branches in
every direction, ventured remark to
the gardener: eve are just at the
proper season for seeing the fruit at its
best?" '.You may come again at
Christmas, and it will be as you see it
now," he replied. Which is true, for
the orange tree of Southern California
is ever green and ever bearing. it
buds and flowers and fruits continually
from January to December. This was
surprise No. 2. And while / am in the
line of confession it may as well be re-
corded here that my idea of grove"
had by early education become so con-
tracted that surprise No. 3 awaited me
when rode straight through six miles
of orange trees and learned that the
plant extended miles on either hand.
No name less digniiied than ''orange
forests" will appropriately describe
these great tracts of land devoted to
orange culture in the Los Angeles val
ley. The locality known as the Pasa-
dena is simply a great collection of
private residences whose owners are
orange growers. Their houses are pal
gees, and their grounds are flower gar
dens, each in the midst of an orange
grove. There may be, but there need
not be, more beautiful spot upon the
earth. BoSton Transcript

Full well know the frozen hand has come
That smites the songs OF grove and garden
dumb,
And chills sad autumn's last chrysanthemum;
Yet W )uld find one blossom, IL might,
Ere the dark loom that weaves the robes OF
white
Hides all the wrecks of summer out of sight
Sometimes in dim November's narrowing day,
When all the seasons pride has passed away,
AS mid the backened stems and leaves we
stray,
We spy the sheltered nook or rocky cleft
A starry disk the hurrying winds have left,
OF all Its blooming ssterhood bereft:
Some pansy, with its wondering baby eyes
Poor wayside MISUNDERSTANDING blank surprise
AT the rough welcome OF unfriendly skies.
Or golden daisy-will Il dare disclaim
The lions tooth, to wear this gentle name?
Or blood-red SALIVA with its lips atiame.
The storms have stripped the lily and the rose,
Still on its check the flush of summer grows,
And all its heart-leaves kindle as 1t blows.
So had looked some bud or song to find
The careless winds of autumn left behind.
With these of earlier seasons growth to blind.
All me! my skies are dark with sudden grief,
flower lies faded on my garnered sheaf;
Yet let the sunshine gild this virgin leaf
The joyous, blessed sunshine of the past,
Still with me, though the heavens are over
cast
The light that shines while life and memory
last.

Bring back the smiles your jocund morning
