Floating Gardens.

Among the most remarkable illus
trations of human energy are certainly
the floating gardens in Kashmir, in
Eastern Asia, the more so that they
are the work of an essentially indolent
population. For their creation an ex-
panse of water about nine miles in cir
conference has been utilized, on which
masses of weed, grasses and aquatic
plants grow and become intertwined
and entangled. These form the soil, as
it were, on which cultivation is carried
on. Divisions are made in them, they
are cut level with the surface of the
water and then banked over with river
mud. Properly prepared for this pur-
pose, this soil is sown with melons and
cucumber plants, and crop is raised
which is unequaled in any country in
quantity and quality. These melons
and cucumbers are sold in q good sea-
son at the rate of ten or twenty for 2
cents; in dear seasons they bring 2
cents apiece. Floating gardens in
Mexico are upon much the same plan,
but are usually devoted to the culture
of flowers.

Many of the big trees have been scathed
by fires particularly in this forest,
where, as Prof. Whitney says, they
have evidently swept through again and
again, greatly marring its beauty. But
amid all these fierce conflicts, though
SCARED and battered, many of these
brave old veterans have sturdily main
tanned their hold upon life, while 9th
ers have bowed their lofty heads in the
dust. There are not a few of these
PROSTATE monarchs here in the Mari
posa Grove, in the debris of whose
moldering trunks, shrubs, loveliest
wild flowers, and soft, velvety MOSES
spring up gracefully, identifying all
that remains of their former stately
majesty and grandeur. Through one of
the standing trees-the monster "Wa-
wona"-the stage road has been made
to pass, an aperture not quite equal to
similar one cut through the stump of
the Dead Giant" in the Tuolumne
Grove, through which wooden tunnel
our loaded six-horse stage-coach was
driven in easiest transit.

Beautifully Left.

Girls have certain pluck in under
taking wickedness which is quite dis
proportionate to the danger incurred,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. AS
fact, what a girl imagines to be an
adventure of great danger generally
ends in being mere uninteresting ex-
perience. Two young ladies of my ac-
quaintance had long sought to paralyze
the male parent of one of them by some
simply cold-blooded, horrible exhibit
ton of crime. The female parent had
proved too easy of paralysis and they
had given up bothering ABOUT her. The
old gentleman was the one whose blood
they proposed to make run cold. They
were very wicked at that age.
They finally struck upon deliberate
piece of criminality, which they made
up their minds calmly to invite him to
witness. They occupied one bedroom.
They went out and bought packet of
cigarettes, which they with great fear
and trembling managed to convey into
the apartment, where they hid it in an
ticipation of the coming dangerous de-
sign.
After dinner they sat down before
the fire, lit a cigarette apiece, stuck
their feet upon the mantlepiece, having
previously dispatched the servant to
to request the male parent to come to
their room. They were in state
of bodily and mental excitement.
Neither of them spoke. They were
each wondering how it would end.
They were positive the old man would
be absolutely knocked speechless first.
Then he would walk up, pluck the
cigarettes from their lips, box their ears,
and send them to bed. They would
dare him-they would defy him. AS
they heard his steps on the stairs they
grew nervous, but they had put their
lips to the cigarettes, they had plunged
headlong into vice, and they would not
weaken. The old gentleman came in.
They smoked away defantly, waiting
for his outburst He came up to them.
He looked at them. Then he said:
Il don't know why you shouldn't if
you want to-" and walked out again.
The two criminals looked at one an
other, then at the door, then at one
another again. They did not say any
thing. They threw the cigarettes into
the fire and felt that, as votaries OF
vice, they were distinct and decided
failure

The Story of Blanca CapellO.

With the Pitt Palace is linked the
Economically tragic story of Blanca
Capello, the beautiful Venetian lady
who, at the early age of 10, ran away
from home and friends in company
with bakers clerk Varied fortunes
succeeded, till she eventually became
Grand Duchess of Tuscany. Only one
thing was now longed for to complete
her happiness, and that was the birth
of an heir to the Grand Ducal throne
But this event was long waited for in
vain, and at length the father confess
sor of the lady was prevailed upon to
bring to the palace a newborn infant
in his capacious sleeve. But Cardinal
Ferdinand, who was next in succession,
had his suspicious. He met the monk
on his arrival, and gave him close en-
brace, which discovered the plot. At
subsequent banquet Blanca set before
the Cardinal dish of pastry which she
had prepared with her own hand. 1t
is said that the Cardinals opal ring
betrayed to him the lurking danger,
and he politely declined. Whereupon
the Grand Duke declared that it should
not be said that the Duchess had made
her pastry for nothing, and began eat
ing it himself. The lady could not
stop him, with that wary Cardinals
eyes fixed on her. She resolved to
share her husbands fate, partook with
him of the poisoned dish, and in the
morning they were both dead Cities
of the World.

ROUGH GALLANTRY.
The Miner and Cowboys Respect for the
Center Sex.

The Miner and Cowboys Respect for the
Center Sex.
In the early days of California the
men who gathered in the mining camps
in the gulches or among the mountains
seldom saw woman's face. They
grew careless of their own appearance;
left hair as we'll as beard to grow
hair which never saw brush nor comb
till they came to look like wild men
of the woods; yet beneath the unkempt
locks, and under the shaggy breast and
tattered garments, there lay In the
heart of every man memory OF some
farmhouse far away, and of mother
or sister for whose dear sake he rever-
enced the very form of woman as sa-
cred. Her approach commanded every
token of respect. Said one who had
lived much among the miners: IF they
were driving team on dusty road,
and met woman, riding the other way,
they would turn to the right or left to
give her the side of the road where
the dust would not blow upon her.
And if perchance at long intervals there
appeared In the camp the face OF a
woman, every mothers son of them
stood one side on the mountain trail to
let her pass, and pulled off his miners
cap, and not seldom the tears stole into
his eyes at thought of the old folks at
home; of the mother who sat in the
chimney-corner, and who, as the winds
blew, and the rain fell, peered out into
the darkness, and sighed as she asked,
"Where is my wandering boy tonight? ?"
1t would not have been safe for any one
to whisper disrespectful word as that
face passed by. If some vulgar fellow
ventured coarse remark, the eyes of
the others flashed, but they bit their
lips and " ere silent till the woman was
out of sight, and then, said our infor-
mant, "that fellow had got to take q
good licking!" 1t seemed as if every
miner felt that his own mother or sis
ter was insulted by sheer at one of
her sex, and they answered the insult
with heavy blows till the coward was
kicked and cuffed out of camp.
When l hear such stories as this, my
heart relents towards class of which
L had judged hastily and unjustly. And
for the same reason that / would stand
up for the miners, would say good
word for the cowboys. We need not
be frightened by name. They are
not worse than other men. Why
should they be? They pursue an hon
orable occupation, one held in esteem
among every rural and pastoral people
since the time of Abraham. The sons
of Jacob themselves, as well as the
men who attended their fathers focks
and herds, were cowboys.
In our new States and Territories
the increasing influences of civilization
will work great changes in the charac-
ter of the population. Time will soft
EN- their roughness, and give them more
polished manners; but it is to be hoped
that it will not abate their courage or
their chivalry; for these are elements
of a noble manhood, and may in the
future contribute to form the mighty
people that are to constitute and govern
our Western and Southern common
wealths. York Mail and ET-

IN two recently excavated houses at
Pompeii the paintings on the walls are
as fresh as if just put on, and the halls
are CHI with decorations. Some of the
marble tables are still standing; the
fountains in the atrium and peristyle,
with their pretty little status and mo-
sales, look as if they might begin to
play at any moment; the kitchen
hearths, built like ranges, seem ready
for their pots and kettles; few flower
pots are still set in the gardens; in the
storerooms are some oil jars and wine
jars; it is as if one might begin house
keeping tomorrow, and invite ones
friends to dinner the day after.
