"GENTLE SPRING"

That giddy thing
Called "gentic spring"
Is getting somewhat bolder.
She snaps her eyes
And loudly cries
To winter, who doth hold her,
"See here, old chap,
Get OF my lap"
And gives him the cold shoulder.

News From Mexico


In meeting held by the CONNER
cial Society Of MONTEREY" the follow
ing opinions were expressed.
six months ago we manifested our
opinion with regard to the CONNER
cla. Crisis, stating it had not termina-
ted, and it was becoming more threat
ening every day. Unfortunately time
his proven the truthfulness Of cur
assertion, and we see that nothing yet
has arisen to relieve US of this parali-
zation in commerce.
Our most ardent expectation vas,
that new laws would be enacted to
counterfeit those which contrib
uted to the mercantile debatement,
but vain have been our hopes, the
municipal laws continue the same.
The state gEofernmeat has regula-
teI the tx upon mines in the most
2 eiud.cial manner. contributing to
its complete ruin, in consequence OF
which commerce is the sufferer.
General Cuellar, Governor of Tam
aultpas, telegraphS, stating that
he received from the City of Mexico
the following dispatch: "The subject
of the IONA Libre' satisfactorily ar
ranged, and dispatched. 1t pleases me
to communicate to you this good
news, 1t being of great Importance to
our State, and principally the from
tier"
The abundant rains which we have
had lately promise excellent crops OF
corn, wheat. beans, sugar cane, etc.
Says the Diario del Hogan: "Wi'f
great satisfaction we announce to oul
readers that the antidote against black
vomit, discovered by the Mexican, Mr.
CarmoGa Vale, is giving brilliant

coffee in an old tomato can as 1 have
ever slipped from a cup filled from the
finest French coffee urn. We should
take lessons in this matter from the
Turks and Arablans, who grind their
coffee to fine powder"
when the coffee is ground as fine
as possible, put it in little bag of IN
bleached muslin, whit b should be tied
tightly enough to prevent the escape
of the grounds. If you use cup of
unground coffee you can make over
a quart OF very strong, black coffee.
In making coffee many peo-
pie sacrifice flavor for strength. Bit
terness comes from boiling. When
boiling water is placed on the bag of
ground coffee it should stand at least
three minutes before serving. Re
member, the longer it stands the
stronger it becomes. Be careful not
to allow the watered coffee to boil.
"a favorite mixture of Coffee" said
Miss Corson, in answer to lady in
the audience, sis Mocha and Java, in
the proportion Of two parts of the lat
ter, which is less expensive, to one OF
the former.

The First Watch.

At first the watch was about the
size of dessert plate. 1t had weights,
and was used as a pocket clock"
The earliest known use of the modern
name occurs in the record of 1862,
which mentions that Edward VI had
zone Iarum or watch of iron, the case
being likewise of iron gilt, with two
plummets of lead" The first watch
may readily be supposed to have
been of rude execution. The first
great improvement-the substitution
of springs for weights was in 1860.
The earllst springs were not coiled
but onlj straight pieces of steel.
Early watches had only one hand,
and beiug wouDd up twice day they
could not be expected to keep the
time nearer than within Gftt en- or
twenty minutes in twelve hours.
The dials were of silver and brass,
the cases had no crystals, but opened
at the back and front, and were four
or five inches diameter. A plain
watch cost more than $500, and
alter one was ordered it took a year to
make it,

What Makes a Girl Popular.

From the Boston Beacon.
What is it that determines a girls
popularity in society? is question
often heard in these days of social
strife and aggraldizement, and ques-
ton that no Ole is quite able to an
swer in a word. 1t is lot because she
is well dressed, or even pretty; it is
not that her fairy godmother bestow-
ed a witty tongue to amuse the dull
ards; it is not because she is rarely in
telligent or highly educated, or so
"amiable" none of these desirable
qualities would render the popular
girl more populor than she is, though
perhaps she is fortunate enough to
possess one or more of them tor her
stock in trade. The girl everybody
likes need have neither money nor
beauty, which in the worlds e,tima>
ton, constitutes social power; but she
must have and does have gracious
manner, certain graceful bearing,
decided intelligence, instructive gene
Iosity, and, above all, the greatest gift
ever awarded to Woman-personal
magnetism.

Oneen Emma L. ing Ia State.

III ON the HAWAIIAN
At nine o'clock on Sunday morning,
the public were admitted to the room
where all that was mortal of Queen
Emma lay. The body was clad in a
white MORE trimmed with gold lace,
the red ribbon of the Order of Kala-
kaua relieving the dead whiteness of
the silk. Nesting in the dark locks
was coronet of pearls; on either arm
were bracelets, one the gift of Queen
Victoria, another that of the Duke
of Edinburgh. The face was calm
and peaceful, and the likeness of the
upper part of the face to England's
queen was most noticeable. The
head rested on white satin pillows,
trimmed with gold lace six inches
deep, while the body rested on mag
niicent sheet of white satin. Ga
either side stood four Kahili bearers,
while at either corner of the bier stood
staff officers in uniform-Colonels e..
Macfarlane, Boyd aud Purvis, and
Major A. Rosa. at the feet of the
corpse, on little table, ST God cruciliX
of ebony, the Saviour's form, beauti-
fully carved in ivory. AT the head,
embowered in white flowers, was a
massive silver vase, which had been
presented by Queen Victoria. Around
the room were arranged variety OF
floral emblems, most noticeable among
these being a vase of marguerites and
a pillow Of stephanotis.
From nine to one the melancholy
procession filed through the apart :
ment. thousands must have passed
TO take last look at her who had
filled her place sonobly. The waillng
was incessant, both within and with
out the house. Among those who
were present were their majesties the
members of the royal family, the
members of the diplomatic corps, his
majesty's ministers, consular corps
and all of The prominent citizens,
both native and foreign. At p: M
the doors were closed and at a little
after 2 the body was inclosed in a
lesdsn coffin. The bracelets presented
bv Queen Victoria and the Duke OF
Edinhurg were unclasped from the
arms, but with no other change wasiit
laid in its resting place.

A Man Eating Tiger Run Down.
,oa1, @lo Dali Noll nozatta


There is tale in the last number Of
the Pioneer Mail which ought to prove
useful to any author on whom Capt.
,Mayne Reid's mantle has fallen. A
railway survey is being carried on
through the North Cachar hills in
Assam, andamong other difficulties it
encounters is the number of man-eat-
Ing tigers which 1nfest the district.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Lodder, the as
sistant engineer, was setting out
through the jungle to work in the
early morning with party OF nine
men when a tiger suddenly sprang
forward, seized one Of the Goorkhas
10y the throat and was off in an instant
Mr.. Lodder, armed only with a hatch
ct, at once gave chase; three of his
men j1ined him, and following along
the trail, plainly marked by blood and
bits of the mans clothes, they ran the
beast so close that after mile and a
half he was compelled to drop his vic
tim. What was left of the dead body
was tied to bamboo, and the little
party pushed back with their burden.
Every English sportsman shoots tigers
nowadays, but there are probably few
who, like Mr.. Lo1der, have run man
eating tiger down and robbed him of
his prev,

Calling Guns.

The gatling gun wt;ghs about leo
pounds and is precisely of the same
design as the ordinary cannon. There
are Ten chambers that revolve in the
barrel proper, and each chamber has
al Independent lock. The main bars
rel is eight inches in diameter. The
size of cartridge used is that of the
binary 45 government rifle calibre.
Each feed drum contains 240 rounds.
The firing is done by operating
crank; the cartridge is exploded
by hammer which works
with such very great rapidity
that 120 cartridges are fired in a
minute. The movement of the gun
an be so adjusted as to make it either
stationary or osciilating, so that the
gun practice can become either
