were read with utter indifference. Ah!
they could not harm my emOIttered mind.
Whole pages were passed over mechan-

me from despair. All the world seemed

the visits Of my lay friend, Jessie Doug

doubt she pitied me, and she tried to con-
vince me that IL was fortunate cIrcum-
stance that caused an estrangement be-
tween us and the family at Strassmere.
Jessie did not waste many visits upon me
after finding me so taciturn and grave,
but L met with her now and then during
my prOmenades with father. The night
that Harry left us for college we met her
at the train. where she, too, was parting

even my presence while saying parting
words TO Jessie. There We're roses upon

The Volcanoes of Hawaii.

The Sandwich Islands boast of two
natural wonders, the largest extinct and
the largest active volcano IN the world.
The former is located on the Island OF
Mani, the summit being nearly ll,0O0
feet above the level of the sea, and the
crater over forty eight miles in circum-
ference. One can look down into the
crater 1000 ieet, the sides now terraced
and covered with sandalwood, giant ferns
and a wonderful profusion of tropical
flowers and shrubs. The active volcano
is situated in the Island of Hawaii. The
crater is situated on spur of Mauns
Loa, 1900 feet above the sea level. The
crater is hot a cone, but great pit on a
level bench, nine miles in circumference
You 90 down, Gown over this almost
perpendicular wall 800 feet, and stand
on the floor OF of the crater This is the
place of eternal burnings, the house o.
everlasting fire of Hawaiian mythology
The area at the bottom of the crater i.
not a liquid mass. but for miles all rounC
there spreads scene Of unearthly gan
deur. Five or six lakes of fire lie to lief
and right; the floor beneath is so not on,
can scarcely walk over it; lava oozes VI
through the assures. Huge cones twent,
or thirty feet high, made by the bubbles
of lava, rise through the seams and arr
cooled by the air.

FLOUR MADE " WOOD.

A New and Mysterious Industry that
Flourisses In the Cstskili Mountains.
The chief industry up in the Catskills
is producing wood -four, a kind of cousin
TO wood pulp. 1t was first manufactur.
ed in the Catslills about nine yeais ago,
and now over twenty mills are in full
blast The process is exceedingly sim
pie. Amy soft wood tree-poplar is the
favorite-is felled and drawn to the mill
The bark and boughs are removed, and
the trunk put in a machine which is
nothing but lead pencil sharpener on
large scale, with four or more knife edges
instead Of one. On starting the machine
the pencil sharpener revolves with great
swiftness. and in few minutes converts
the log into hundred miles Of fine, clean
shavings. These are ground and bolted
exactly as in -four mills. The product
is fine, yeliowish white -four, similar
in appearance TO very we'll ground corn
meal. 1t possesses a slight woody smell,
and is almost tasteless. 1t is put up in
large bags and then is despatched, un-
marked to the buyer

article, but with no success. The wood
miller was no. very communicative. at

What's it good for? Good many things.
It's used to stifien paper, but if you put
in too much the paper gets brittle. Pa

that's why they put it in. you mix
the -four with linseed gum and billed

The farmers dislike the new industry
as it promises to play havoc with the
forests, which are both an attraction t.
the boarder and protection to agricul
ture. The tanneries years ago used uI
nearly all the oak and hemlock; the lum
bermen have stripped the country prac
ticaly of pine, cedar and walnut; thu
chair factories are consuming the hick
ory and maple; and now the wood-fiou
mill promises to grind up what remain
ing timber there is.

The CASTLE Soap Delusion.
Philadelphia Call.

By some unacountable means there
has been handed from generation TO gen.
eraticn two erroneous ideas concerning
CASTLE soap. One error is that the ma.
terials of which il is composed are in
variably of the best, and the other is
that it is beneficial to the skin, and con-
sequently desirable for the toilet. These
errors have so taken hold of the popular
mind that it is usual to provide piece
of "white CASTLE soap" TO wash the new
born infant, and this is usually done by
the advice or sanction of the family ply
sician, who, having imbibed the pre-
judice from his preceptor, takes to re-
commending it as a matter of course,
without using his own judgment.
1t is now however, becoming a doubt
among many physicians and nurses as
to whether the favorable opinion about
CASTLE soap is not entirely at variance
with the true facts of the case, and that it
is settled opinion with some that cas-.
tile soap is really responsible for many of
the skin diseases that are prevalent even
among persons whose occupation should
cause them to be free from any such un-
welcome and annoying complaints; min
listers and lawyers, bankers and artists,
and men and women whose occupations
Tor want of any occupation) would seem
10 preclude almost any possibility Of such
ungenteel disease as salt rheum tetter,
etc, still in spite of their exemption
from exposure are as likely as anv, not
only to have these or worse skin troubles
but to suffer with them for years. In
fants, even the children of the wealthy,
surrounded by all that wealth can pro-
vide, are seen affected with eruptions
and sores, or rendered hideous by ugly
scabs, that seemingly cannot be either
accounted for or relieved.
We advise the blame to be put in such
cases where it usually properly belongs,
TO their favorite soap, for in ninety y-nine
cases out of hundred skin diseases will
be found to arise solely from soap, and
no matter how highly any particular
kind Of soap is recommended any person
with skin trouble should at once make
a change.
1t is really very doubtful ifany vegeta-
BILE oil is adapted for a soap intended for
the skin. even if the oil is fresh and
sweet, but there is very little doubt that
even the best brands of white clstile soap
are made from rancid olive oil; that be-
ing of too poor quality for table use is in
consequence used for making soap. The
best imported castle soap costs the i'm
porters only from ten 10 twelve cents a
pound, all over that paid by the public
being profit to the importer and retail
er; and pure, sweet olive oil brings too
much to enable it to be made into CASTLE
soap and sold at any sncn price. We
trust this article will induce physicians
to give this subject the consideration
that it deserves, and we feel confident
that the result will amply repay them
for their trouble.

ident of the United States, John B-,a
well known public man from Ashtabula,
boarded the train. He had been one OF
Garfeld's pupils when the latter taught
in little log schoolhouse in the back
woods. As the teacher boarded with
Mr.. BIS mother, they had been more
intimate than is usual with master and
scholar.
Many significant stories were told
when they met which illustrated the
hard struggles of the future President in
his youth.
One was that on some occasion he was
invited to country party, but on the
very dap it was to take place he split at
the knee one leg ofhis trousers. He had
but one pair of very coarse jeans, and no
money to buy another. Garfield had
set his heart on going 10 the merry max
ing, and was bitterly disappointed.
"You go 10 bed" said his hostess, "and
let ne see what ] can do"
The teacher obeyed, and in an hour
received his trousers 50 nestly darned
that IT was impossible TO find where they
had been broken. He thanked her so
earnestly that the good woman cried
out
"Neyer mind Mr.. Garfield! When
you're a great man in the Ohio Legisla-
ture, nobody II ask you how many pairs
Of trousers you had when you taught mp
here in the Reserve"
This little incident recalls story told
of our other martyred President. In
1880, q travelling peddler came one even
ing TO cabin in Illinois and asked the
farmers wife il he could stay at the house
all night.
"We can feed the beast, was the ans
wer, but we cannot lodge you. unless
you are willing to sleep with the hired
man."
Lets have look at him first" said
the peddler.
The woman pointed to the side of the
house, where a lank, six-foot man. in
ragged but clean cloths, was stretched on
the grass reading book. Hell do

of these whips, for if not properly band,

the manipulator's body and legs, infiict-

wounds, but in the hands Of a person
skilled in the use of them these whips
can be used with great precision and ef-

Very remarkable stories are told about
the manner in which the Esqulmaux
handle their whips, but they are, | be-

hat they have frequently attacked and

animals in the vicinity of james hay,
with knife attached to the end OF the

used it with as much ease and precision
as a Eorseman would have used an or

"Once upon a time" began the teach

trees were hanging over with ripe, lus-
cious peaches. One of the boys proposed
going into the orchard and getting some

He got the peaches' yelled every
