Miles of Gold.

Australia boasts of having in its
bosom the richest Dorado of modern dis.
covery. A young engineer named Davis,
after the most thrilling adventures among
cannibal aboriginies of the northern dis.
trict of the southern continent, at last
came upon a region of the finest gold
ore. Forthwith he returned to England
for the purpose of studying mining OPP
erations, and soon again faced for his
Dorado. TO his utter establishment he
found on his return whole colony OF
miners delving away in the treasured
earth of which he thought he alone was
aware. Himself and a companion, how
ever, started bravely to work, and after
some time struck vein CT coarse gold f,
specimens of which have been analysed
in London with most promising results.
Mr.. Davis find was soon thrown into tho
shade by that of young man named
Rankic, who had the luck to meet with
the quartz bursting through the surface,
and extending for two miles. Near this
district is the famous Morgan reef, which
contains gold in immense quantities,
wanting only one-tenth of being virgin
gold. Verify this story of facts beats

THE sEST GIFT OF ALL.

One and-twenty, one-and-twenty,
Youth and beauty, lovers plenty;
Health and riches, ease and leisure,
Work TO give a zest to pleasure;
What can a maid so lucky lackl
What can wish that fate holds backl
Youth will fade and beauty wanes;
Lovers, flouted, break their chains,
Health may fail and wealth may fly you,
Pleasures cease to satisfy you;
Almost everything that brings
Happiness is born with wings.
This wish you; this is best
Love that can endure the test,
Love surviving youth and beauty,
Love that blends with homely duty;
Love that's gentle, love that's true,
Love that's constant wish you
Still unsatsfied she lives,
Who for gold mere silver gives,
One more joy wish you yet,
To give as mu III love as you get.
Grant you, Heaven, this to do,
No love him best who best loves you.

PUT UP A JOB ON HIM.

n Experience of a Pernsv,vo,,, Eor,,.,
VINO Had Foresworn the Tramps of
Literature and Mechanism.
Augustus Anterior is a plain and
thrlfty farmer of Abingdon, Pa, He is
OF an amiable disposition and a confd-
mg heart. The only great trouble of
us NE cam through crazy inventors,
book-peddlers, scwing-machine agents,
hghtnlng-rod, insurance and patent
medicine men. A few years ago he
was deceived in a worthless machine,
ana then he resolved to have nothing
more to do with the tramps of litera-
ture, mechanism and medicine. He
kept his word until recently when q
genteel-looking man who said his name
was Anterior came to look up the Ath-
erton family tree. This visitor seemed
all right and it cost nothing to look up
the tree. Mr.. Atherton extended to
him the Inequalities of the house while
ne stayed and examined family records
and documents. The stranger pre-
tended to prove his relationship to
Farmer Anterior and he Jared sumptiu-
ously at the Atherton farmhouse every
day. An Anterior girl was about to be
married and the newly-found Atherton
young man was invited to stay until
after the wedding, which he readily
consented to do. But he didn't stay.
The day before the wedding he ex-
planned that he had a sudden call away.
He was very sorry, really, but he
couldn't help It. Business before pleas
ure. and all that sort of proverbial
philosophy. He went, and his portly
proportions q he gaily strobe away
We're supposed to be due to the fat Of
the land he lately lived on. He passed
out of sight, but not out of the Atherton
mind, for it was soon discovered that
many valuables had disappeared from
the house. Among other things were
the most costly portions of the bridal
trousseau. The parting guest was
pretty well loaded with Anterior plum
der. The wedding went ON, however,
the bride still having something to
wear, and all was happy, as such an
occasion should be; butt Farmer Ather-
ton declares he will never again open
his hospitable doors and arms to any
stranger, whoever or whatever. He
thinks the forbidden book agents and
lightning-rod men put up the job on
him. but feels free to assert positively
that they can never do it again. 1t is
not impossible that his new son-in-law
may be one of the peddler ''sharps,"
and he ought not to be too positive

PURE.BRED HOGS AND PORK.

The Difference Between Breeding Animals
For Sale as Thoroughbrcds and Breeding
For Meat Production.
Raising hogs for pork and breeding
pure-bred hogs to sell are two very diff
tcrent things, and requiring in some
respects different management. In the
first place, cross-bred hogs will often
prove the most profitable for market
lug, and the difficulty of attempting to
raise both pure-bred and cross-bed ami
mails unless the farm is large and facil-
tiles extensive are great. In some cases
adoubt has been thrown on the gen
ulneness Of the pedigrees of the pure
bred stock of those who at the same
TIME are raising large numbers of hogs

discourage the hog raiser from giving

AERATIoN.
The Publication of Water by Forcing Air
Through 1t.

The Publication of Water by Forcing Air
Through 1t.
The publication of the waters sup
piled to large cities is a very important
matter. The growth of manufactures
and the waste of populated districts in
time contaminates the streams that fur
nish the water supply. Millions Of
people die or sicken yearly because of
impure water or tainted air. More
than half the physical ills which
afflict mankind come from these two
sources. Philadelphia is just now try
ing an experiment which, if successful,
will greatly benefit the jewellers in
large cities. 1t is aerating the water in
the Fairmount reservoirs. The Schuyl-
kill and Delaware, from which the
water supply has been secured, have
become foul from the growth Of popu-
lation along their banks, and, as draw
ing water from a distance would take
time and be costly at thac, an effort is
making to purify the waters in the
reservoirs. This is being done by fore
ing air through the water. The oxy-
rem, according to the theory of this
process, would act directly upon the
organic impurities, thus converting
them into harmless oXidized products.
1t is the motion and exposure to the
air that purities running rivers. The
Thames at Londox is sin:ply poisonous,
yet its waters are disable ten miles be-
low the city, as the oxygen of the air
working upon it gradually restored its
wholesomeness. This fact has always
been well known, yet engineers persist
in inclosing aqueducts and shutting off
the air until the water reaches the
reservoirs. New York City is to build
a new aqueduct thirty miles long. The
water, of course, is quite good at
Croton Lake, but it would be much
better if it was a protected stream open
to the air. But millions of dollars will
be spent to shut out the oxygen until
the reservoir is reached, where it will
have less effect because there the water
is necessarily without motion. The
purity of air and water is a vital mat
ter, and all who are interested in the
health of their families should con-
stantly keep it in mind. Half the
misery of life comes from the myriads
