LOVE OF COUNTRY.

GSir Walter Scott Q77l-1S32) first won literar,
fame as a poet, though he is now known chief,
as the author of the Incompatible Waverly Nov
els His vivid Imagination was early fired b.
the romantic Border stories so numerous il
Southern Scotland His novel and origina
style of poetry was greeted with applause, ant
held popular favor until ecllpsed by the NOR
brilliant effusons of Byron. The finest of hi
longer poems are The Lady of the Lake, Mar
mion and The Lay of the Last Minstrel. One
admiration of Scott is increased by the fact tina
he was a good and honorable man as we'll as
brilliant poet and novelist.]
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath neer within him burned,
AS home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on foreign strand
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power and pef,
The wretch, concentrated all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To tho vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept unhonored and unsung.
o Caledonia! stern and wild,
Meet nurse for poetic child!
Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,
Land of the mountain and the flood,
Land of my sires what mortal land
Can e'er unite the filial band
That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Still as view each well-known scene,
Think what is now, and what hath been,
Seems, as to me, of all bereft,
Sole friends thy woods and streams were le1t;
And thus love them better still.
Even in extremity Of i'll.
By Yarrow's streams still let me stay,
Though none should guide my feeble way;
Still feel the breeze down Ettick break,
Although it chill my withered cheek;
Still Law nv head by Teviot stone,
Though there forgotten and alone,
The bard may draw his parting groan.

ABOUT WoMEN's FEET.-"Do you think
Denver women have pretty feet?"
mot as rule. 1t takes Southern Wo-
men for pretty feet. The most OF them
have never walked much and their feet are
not at all spread. They have fine lnsteps
and beautifully formed feet They are aw-
fully particular about their Shoes"
"DO ladies ever acknowledge that they
have sore feet?"
!'Young ladies do not. They are so attlict-
ed with corns, most of them, that we can
see the protuberances through their stock
ings, particularly since silk hosiery is so
much worn, but they won't own up and
they are always demonstrating about thelr
shoes being too large"
SIS it SO with old ladies?"
mo indeed. Old ladies seldom care Tor
style to that extent. They want comfort
and we manufacture it for them."
"What class of women wear common
sense shoes"
"Literary women mostly and teachers.
Shop girls usually wear stylish shoes and
servant girls always wear French heels.
Women who work with their brains can't
afford to sacrifice their feet. 1t is not that
they have no personal pride about their
shoes, but they very soon discover that COM
fort and style do not 60 together in dressing
the feet You can't get the slightest sugges-
tion of beauty into common sense shoe !;
that's a foregone conclusion, and SO they
give up trying it very early in life, and
aside from their shoes being well made and
comfortable you can't say much for their
appearance "-DenUer Republican.

THE WONDERS OF AN EGG.-Every one
who eats his breakfast egg eats sermon
and a miracle. Inside of that smooth, SYM
metrical, beautiful shell turks question
which has been the Troy town for all
the philosophers and scientists since Ad-
am. Armed with the engines of War-the
microscope, the scales, the offensive Wea-
pons of chemistry and reason-they have
probed and weighed and experimental,
and still the question is unsolved, the
citadel unsacked. Prof. Bokorny can tell
YOU that albumen is composed OF so many
molecules of carbon and nitrogen and hy-
droeen, and can persuade you of the diff
ference between active and passive albu-
men, and can show by wonderfully delicate
experiments what the aldehydes have to 90
in the separation Of gold from his compll-
Gated solutions; but he can't tell you why
from one egg comes "little rid him." and
from another bantam.
You leave your silver spoon an hour III
your egg cup, and it is coated with COM
pound of sulphur; why is that sulphur
there? Wonderful that evolution should
provide for the bones of the future hen.
There is phosphorus also in that little mi
crocosm and the oxygen of the air passing
through the she'll, thus making good strong
bones for the chick and at the same time
thinning the prison wallis Chemists know
a good deal now about the albumen, and II
they cannot tell us why life dltterentlates
itself therein and thereby, they can tell you
how not to spUil your breakfast by overdo-
ing your eggs.

PAINTING BLACK BOARDs.-There are
two or three ways of preparing these boards,
the finishing coat being the principal. The
object to be obtained is a surface on which
the chalk will make clear and distinct
mark, which will afterwards wash Oft and
leave the board quite clear. If the board
is a new one, it will require to be painted
with, at the least, four coats of oil color, and
finished with one or two coats of varnish
color; in mixing which only sufficient var,
nish (copal or best carriage) should be used
as will bind the color fast, without being
absorbent or fuzzy. The black should be
ground in turpentine, then the varnlsh
added, and should dry dead (or nearly
SOY. This is an absolute necessity as chalk
will not mark freely on gloss color. Anoth-
er plan, which is very good one, is to paint
the board with Gf new three coats of oil
color, then with two coats of VaTnish color
this having as much varnish added to it as
will produce what is known as 'egg-shell
gloss.' This should be allowed to become
thoroughly hard, and then be cut down
with felt and ground pumice. This is done
simply to deaden the surface, and if after
being rubbed down it is left again to harden,
a capital surface will be produced for the
work to be done.

Deer on the Rail.

The through West-bound train or
the Oregon Short Line, Sunday night
near Medbury, ran into about 200 deel
that lay huddled on tho tarck in q deeI
cut, killing %, and mangling number
of others. Tho train was going at the
rate of about 25 miles an hour, and the
deer, on its approach, arose and stood
staring at the headlight of the locomo-
tive, evidently dazsd. The train was
stopped as soon as possible, and the
tarin boys jumped off to capture the
killed. Nate Kingsbury, of Haley, Sc
cured three, which be threw in his post.

Some OF tbs crippled hoped away on

The same night four door wero killed
near McCammon, on the Utah & North
ern, by the north-bound passenger
train. Monday morning three fine
blsck-tailed deer were killed on the
Wood River branch, near Tikura, by
the train.
When the weather is exceedingly
cold, the deer seem to fancy railway
tracks as good place to obtain shelter
from tho wind, and they invariably
close their heads" on the approach OF

Tho Text Book Question.

| Idaho City World
The bill introduced in the Assembly
to establish uniform series of tex
books for the public schools of this Ter
ritory will put parents and guardian
of school children to faw dollars o
expense again for now set of books
If tho bill passes and becomes 3 law
Subdivision eight of section IS Of oul
present school law makes it the duty Of
the county superintendent, among other
things, "to enforce tho course of study,
the use OF a uniform series of text
books" "Yet there is no provision
adopting any uniform SERIES" says
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
Jas. L. Onderdonk, in his biennial re-
port, land it is left an open question
whether the evident invention Of the
law may not be frustrated by each sue
cessive Superintendent adopting = Sc
ries different from the one SOLICITED by
his predecessors, or even by the super
'ntendent himself adopting different
series every month" The frequent
changes in the series of text books have
been the cause of much expense. Every
new teacher must have new books, and
the bill now before the Legislature is
for the purpose of putting stop to
these expensive and needless changes.
II tbs bill becomes a law away goes
several dollars again for each pupil for
a new supply of school books, but those
who have to dive down into their peck
cts for tho wherewithal, Jean probably
extract little soothing syrup for their
ruffled feelings from the fact that they
will BIO given rest on the book ques-
ton for four years. The free schools
of this Territory have been very expen-
sive free luxuries, to use seeming con-
expression. What the Ter
r.tory has long needed, is a uniform
~ stem { f text books, sailed down, so 10
speak, so it will keep for few years.

-Vick's Illustrated Magazine for
December, Just received, is unusually
Interesting. Beside the usual beautiful
eolored plato, which in this issue is q
group OF Double Dahlias, there are
forty pages of just such reading IS those
interested in flowers and gardening
generally will enjoy. Among the arti-
chs Of special interest we may name
"a Californian Ovting," "Grafting the
Grape" "Azalea and Cape Jasmine"
Irrigation" Pruning Roses" "Cul-
ture of Celery," and large number of
smaller articles. Besides these, the d.
pTtment Of Soar Young People" has
besutiful poem by Margaret Eytinge,
and an illustrated poem liking Frost"
by Mrs. Whittemore. For the long win
tor evenings We can conceive of no
more profitable reading for those who
xsire TO gain knowledge in the culture
Of flowers, and indeed, everything per-
tanning to the garden. 1t may be sum-
med up as being 50 compendium of
useful and valuable information. The
inducements offered to subscribers of
Vick's Magazine for clubbing with
0her popular first-clsss periodicals,
are astonishing.

Some of the eucalyptus trees grow to a
height of 500 feot and would cast a shadow
on the summit of the pyramids or the dome
of ST. Feter's. They were first discovered
and classified by NJ. Laballardien, a French
botanist, just before the beginning of the
present century and ave ince grown into a
renown as wide as that of the giant cedars
OF California, some of which stood whore
they now stand before the Hebrew Bible
was recorded or the earliest choric hymns Of
the Hindoos rose along the borders
Of the five rivers. One OF these mighty
trees, now hurled down and stretched along
the rock; presented when it stood
erect a height Of more than 400 feet, and, by
counting the annular rings upon a section Of
one Of its c~osvals, 1t was ascertained that il
was more than 1000 years old, standing
there on its rocky perch unmindful Of the
deluges Of Dsucalion and Noah, and un-
shaken amid all the connections of the
globe.
Even this majestic attitude Is surpassed by
some Of the eucalypts, which thus far are the
highest trees ever discovered; but there Is as
yet no sufficient testimony as to their long
evity. II is. however, mnnifest1y great, and
some of those which are 10 be planted here
and there by our compatriots may outlast
the nation, as the chestnut tree OF Etna out
lasted Rome, and the giant planes beside the
Bosphorus have outlasted the lines of Con-
stantine and PalRologus.

noticed an instance Of Washin ton snob-
bishness the other night In one OF the leading
groceries Of the capital which we'll illustrates
the character Of one class Of our high-toned
court society. 1 was waiting to buy some
little things, and a very pretty and modest
ndy was standing at the counter watching
the clerk do up some packages for her. An
other lady. the wife OF an old Washington
ian, was also waiting, as l was, when a
leader OF the capital, and one OF the newest
Of the nouveau richie, came strutting in,
dressed in velvet and sealskin. She was a
tall, angular woman, with a nose which
seemed to turn up at everybody and every
thing. She had an eyo-glass attached to a
long handle in her right hand, and this she
presented in front OF her right eye and began
looking superciliously around the store.
All the clerks were busy as they could be.
But with the most arrogant air she turned
to the one above spoken OF and said; "Do
you not see, sir, that l am ~wnitingf7 The
clerk dropped the bundle he had, and rushed
over to her. She then pointed with a ma
jestic air to a lot Of tomatoes marked ~
cents a can. She said. u will take ono OF
those cans of tomatoes you may carry 1t
out to my carriage and with that she swept
out Of the store in the same regal way in
which she had entered. As she did so ]
noticed a smile Of contempt on the counter
ance Of the old W~ashingtonian, who had the
blood Of some OF the most noted families in
the country in her veins. She quietly waited
until her turn came TO DO served, and taking
her purchases, which amounted to many
times that of the snob who had pushed into
her place, In her arms, she said; 81 thank
you, but l can carry these out myself" She
took the bundle in her arms, and going to
tho door stopped into a finer carriage than
that of tho female snob, and was driven
quietly away.

Crocker's fence is one of the sights OF San
Francisco. When Charles Croker, the part
ner OF Stanford Hopkins and Huntington Of
the Central Pacific railroad and a man worth
many millions, bought his residence on Cali
fornia street, he met with considerable oppo-
sition from a property holder on Sacramento
street. Croker had acquired the entire
block, with the exception OF a single lot on
the Sacramento street side. The owner Of
this lot demanded an extra price for it,
which Crocker agreed to give. Then the
price was doubled and Crocker accepted the
raise. Again and again was the avaricious
seller satisfied, till patience ceased to be a
virtue. The railroad magnate got his mad
up and sent him word: "Tel him to -"
Croker built his house, laid out the
grounds with rare good taste, and then
Afenced inn his co-tenant on the block He
built a fence fifty feet high on three sides OF
the house on Sacramento street. Only the
front view remained unimpaired, and, as
Sacramento street is very narrow, the front
view is not a matter TO caro- much for. The
owner Of the house soon sickened Of his bar

In the way OF theatrieals we are admiring
and ridiculing Booth and Barrett. Admira-
ton is dominant, Of course, but occasionally
we have to laugh at their intensest tragedy.
We do this to Barrett, for instance, when he
gaIlops, snorting like a frightened pony, as
Cassius, from the scene OF Caesars death. II
Is absurd. As for Booth, for a moment in "The
Apostate, +" he was guyed like any other actor
who had suddenly become comical In the
midst Of intense emotion. 1t happened at a
juncture when he thought he had fooled and
cajoled the unwilling maiden to his purpose.
Then she turned on him with new and unox
pected disdain. He was crouching In an at
titude Of mingled cunning, expectation and
exultation; but on hearing her adverse de-
cision he sprang quite clear OF the floor,
grimaced frightfully INT yelled "Damna
