Amber and Its Uses.

The value of amber, familiarized as the
substance is in ''smokers requisites" is
far greater than the majority imagine.
Small pieces of Indifferent quality suffice
for the mouthpieces of pipes and for iso-
lated ornaments, and though the prices
charged for even such specimens as these
are far above their actual worth, they are
comparatively cheap. In necklaces, how
ever, where every bead has exactly to
match its fellow, or in the larger articles,
requiring to be cut from a single piece of
considerable size, the cost and real worth
of the fossil gum rises so rapidly that in
certain cases it deserves, if the money
charged for it be any criterion, to rank
with the 'precious" minerals, and many
pieces of amber in the rough state are
worth more than their bulk in
gold. Yet even this does not ap-
proach by long way the esteem in
which antiquity held electron; for not
only was amber the oldest of gems, and
therefore, in a measure, magniied by
traditional reputation, but it was sup
posed to possess amazing occult proper
ties. 1t was worn all over Northern Italy
as preventive of goitre, Just as it isworn
to-day by the people of Arabia as a tails
man against the evil eye. More power
full than sorcery and witchcraft, it was
an amulet that made poisons harmless; |;
ground up with honey and oil of roses,
it was a specific for deafness, and with
Attic honey, for dimness of sight Nor
is the claim of medicinal virtue alto.
gether without foundation, in fact, for
sits efficacy as a defence of the throat
against chills"-owing probably to
'ithe extreme warmth when in con
tact with the skin and the circle
of electricity so maintained"-has
been tested and substantiated. The
ancients, however, were not content with
mystic curative powers in the solid sub.
stance, for they ascribed valuable prop
critics to it in combustion, admiring the
perfume that resulted not only for its re-
sinous fragrance, but for its healthful-
ness, thereby innocently detecting in the
fossil pine gum the same virtues that
modern physic attributes to the living
pines. In many parts of the East, es-
pecially in China, where prodigiOus
quantities of Prussian amber are con-
sumed, this substance is preferred to all
Others for insense; and thus the Buddhist
shrines in the palaces of Pekin and the
holy palaces of Mohammedan Mecca
alike owe the fragrance of pious fumes
to the same strange, beautiful source
the dead fir forests of a prehistoric Eu-
rope. Nevertheless the chief charm,
both for the past and present, lies in the
positive beauty of a mineral.

Franklin and Adams as Room. Mates

Here is q funny old story which has
never seen print, and it is true, having
come down among the traditions of the
old families of Massachusetts, says
Boston lady: Some time during the revo-
lutionarY period, or little after, John
Adams and Benjamin Franklin were dis
patched from Philadelphia, / believe, to
this State, on a public errand. Adams
had a mortal antipathy, shared by him
along with the majority of mankind at
that day, against the night air. He be-
lieved that if he kept his bedroom win
dow open even a crack at night he would
surely die. Franklin, on the other hand,
was disbeliever in the theory of danger
in the night air, and he had many argu-
ments with Adams thereon. Clrcum-
stances and the crowded condition of
many of the taverns they stopped at on
their journey eastward compelled them
frequently to occupy the same room.
and often the same bed. Adams
always opposed raising the window,
and poor Ben nearly sutfocated and re-
ylled Adams on waking for his wretched
theory of the deadly effects of natures
universal medium of breath. One night
Ben slyly raised a window in their com
mon chamber, but Adams, on the alert
for his friends little games, insisted that
it should be closed at once. Said crafty
Ben: "Now, Mr.. Adams, wen go to bed
with the window up, and l will show
you why it will not be harmful to us to
permit it to stay open. If cannot con-
vince you of the reasonableness of my
theory, | will myself get up and close
the window" Adams weakly consented,
and Ben began to reason with him.
Finally poor Adams was talked to sleep,
and Ben TRANQUILITY resigned himself to
slumber. Next morning great was
Adams horror az finding the window up,
but not having died during the night,
and feeling no i'll effects from having
breathed the night air, he became a con
vert to sly Benjamin's night-air theory.
The author of history of America dur
ing the colonial epoch told me this anec,
dote as something amusing, which has
hitherto escaped type.

JUDGE NOT.


Judge not; how much Of wrong Is done
How many hearts with sorrow wrung
Purer, perhaps, than thine;
Because suspicion, like a blight,
Has changed their hope to gloomof night
Though brightly hope did shine.
Judge not; how many a soul has been
Driven by scorn to deeds Of sin,
Which had been pure without
Believe not all reports as true,
But give to them what is their due.
An ever-honest doubt.
Judge not; what right have we to say,
"Our brother meaneth harm alway,"
But let us rather give
That Christian grace Of charity,
Which we would were given, If we
Under reproach should live.
Our Judgment, what hasty thtngl
And OH how deadly is its stingl
The one it strikes must bear
Perhaps for years the wound it gives;
And still the scar the wound outlives.
Oh, let us then bewarel

How to PreserYe the Voice.

Emma Abbott, the singer, says:
"There is only one way to preserve the
voice that l know of and that is so sim
pie that it should not be forgotten. The
secret is, don't force it. Don't force it
at any time, but especially do not force
it into practice. know it used TO be
the custom to teach singer to below

and l am not an artist because l rush
at everything with all the wind of a
blacksmith's forge. used to imagine
that it was necessary to howl in order to
show that l could sing, but l know bet
ter now. And who have taught me so,

THE COMING OF THE Daisies.

There's no life without its winter,
There's no year without its sleet,
For the picture must be shaded
'Tis the bitter makes the sweet.
And even In stern December,
Trustful hearts can hear this strain
At the coming of the daisies,
We shall all be glad again.
Unto the happiest being
The sod touch of grief will come,
And Nature must have her season
When the woods and streams are dumb,
But hearts were not made for sorrow,
The meads win their green regain,
And the coming OF the daisies
Shall make us all glad again.
Oil despairing hearts that murmur,
Hope has happy dreams for you:
Darkness cannot rest forever
In the bosoms Of the true.
Hear this whisper, in the breezes.-
In the beat of the warm rain
At the coming of the daisies
We shall all be glad again.
Have faith when life is soTTowful
With memories of the dead;
Remember there is a summer
Where the leaves arc never she'd
With face to that better country,
Find hope in mysong's refrain
At the coming of the daisies
The earth shall be new again.

Stacking Grain.

The great secret of successful stacking
is to keep the center of the stack full
and high. This is the very point in
which so many stackers fail. To keep
the middle of the stack as it should be
is not an easy matter by any means, for
the more elevated the center Is the
greater the tendency of the outside
courses to 81 p out and spoil the stack
But the stacker must remember that az
the stack settles, the middle, bearing the
greater weight, sinks the most, and two
weeks after the stack is built will be
much lower than at the beginning. If
the middle sinks so low that the outside
course of sheaves being lower than the
butts, the stacks will spoil, as rain will
pass into the stack instead of passing off
it, Each inside course should cover the
bands of the sheaves in the course out
side of it this, if followed out honestly,
will keep the middle Of the stack high
enough. In laying the outside bundles,
stick each bundle into the one below it,
using considerable force, but being care
full not to displace the lower sheaf. This
is. the only effective method of laying
bundles to prevent slipping; and at times
it is not sufficient. When such is the
case, place fiat board against the Often
ding bundles, and stay the board with
inclining props if below the bulge, OF
lean poles against the sheaves if above
the bulge.

as it is thought the object was to rescue
prisoners whom it was thought were
aboord. Sheriff Cameron of Meagher
came upon the scene afterwards and dis
covering one of the gang opened fire
which was returned and several shots
fired at him, one going through his coat
