Proud Deacons.
lYcuth's Companion.


Human nature is much the same the
world over, and if the following anec-
dotes have Scotchmen for their heroes,
the same thing might have happened
anywhere else than in the highlands.
1t should be said that in Scotland a
deacon is the chairman Of corporation
of tradesmen, and not church officer.
Two worthy incumbents, who fretted
their little hour upon a stage not far
from the banks of the Ayr, happened to
be chosen deacons on the same day.
The more youthful of the two few
home to tell his young wife what an
important prop of the civic edifce he
had been allowed to become; and search
ing the but and ben" in vain, ran out
to the byre, where, meeting the COW, he
could no longer contain his Joy, but, in
the fullness of his heart, clasped hel
round the neck, exclaiming:
''Oh, crummie, crummie, ye're nat
LANCER a common cow-ye're the dea
con cowP'
The elder civic dignitary was a Sc
date, pious person, and felt rather
"blate" in showing to his wife that ht
was uplifted above this worlds honors
AS he thought, however, it was toe
good piece of news to allow her to re
main any time ignorant of, he lifted the
latch of his own door, and stretching hi
head inward
"Nelly" saA he, in a voice that mad,
NELLY all ears and eyes, ''gif onybodl
comes spierin' for the deacon, I'm JUS
owre the gate at John Tamson's!"

A CHAPTER ON EYES.
Animals and Birds Have More beautiful
Eyes Than DO the Human Race.


Eyes Than DO the Human Race.
New Orleans TimesDemocratl
There Is to be found in The Eclectic
Magazine, among other studies, an arti-
Gle on eyes, which is full of curious in
formation and suggestion.
We humans, so prone to calmly ar
rogate all beauties and projections, will
feel surprise at the assertion that we
have failed in our long ages of selection
to evolve eyes as beautiful as those of
many animals and birds No odalisque
eyes can be as soft and liquid as those
of gazelle, deer, or even the OK, to
whom Hera did not disdain to be COM
pared-and they have never developed
but two divisions of color, dark, that is
all shades of brown, and light in all
shades of blue; that there is some
beautiful variations between the ex-
tremes of the two tlnts is not to be
denied. One of the variations men,
toned in the article is Of a family who
all had dark brown spots on blue gray
eyes, and another who had on reddish
hazel irides fine characters resembling
Greek letters, and for this reason was
called by his neighbors ojos escrltos,
| written eyes,
But the splendid ruby of the chicken
hawks eye, and the chrysolite hue of
the orbs of the pluma, the glowing
phosphorescent sheen OF cats eyes in
the dark are more beautiful than any
thing we have been able to produce in
human faces. Emerald eyes have been
greatly praised by the Spanish poets,
and of them the author says:
''If they only existed, would certainly
be beautiful beyond all others, espe-
cially If set of with dark or brown
hair and that dim and pensive creamy
pallor of the skin frequently seen in
warm climates"
A celebrated man, however, consulted
on the question, says he has known one
person, woman, whose eyes were i'm.
mistakably and deeply emerald in hue
and who inspired him with irresistible
fear. Rhoda Broughton speaks of Kate
Chester having the curious combination
of red hair and green eyes--eyes like
sea water In the writer's own expert
ence there Is the memory Of woman,
very beautiful woman, with red hair
and eyes as yellow as gold.
Hawthornes wife never could beal
the gaze of his eyes, and of severa
eastern rulers the same story has beer
told. Returning to colors Of eyes b.
says:
Again, in that exquisite type o
female beauty which we see in the whit
girl with slight infusion of Negro
blood, giving the graceful frizzle to thu
hair, the purple-red hue to the lips
and the dusky terra-cotta tinge to tn
skin, an eye more suitable than tn
dark dull brown would have been tn
intense orange brown seen in tn
lemur's eye. For many very dark
skinned tribes nothing more beautiful
than theruby iris could be imagined
while ses-green eyes would have bes
suited dusky-pale Polynesians."
There is description in this articl
, of the shooting of a Magellanic eagle i
Patagonia and the magnificent fury c
his eyes, great globes Of quiverin
yellow flame, whichis one of the fines
pieces of word painting in the Englis
language, scene which will be vivi
picture in the mind Of the reader for hi
whole life.

Facts Concerning Japan.

Japan is made up of chain of vol
canic mountains, and the erable land OF
the empire is officially put at Il, 915, 900
acres-less than one half the area of the
state of New York-and this is SO fertile
and thoroughly cultivated that it feeds
population Of $1,000, 0o0--about that
Of France. Rice is one of the principal
crops, and Of this some 100000, 600
bushels are raised annually. Hand
labor is generally used, and two or three
crops a year are raised on the same
land.
Artificial irrigation is general, being
necessary over one.half Of the cult
waited land, and frequently the water is
taken from streams from twenty to
thirty miles distant. The total number
of horned cattle is 1,115,0o0 and of
horses / ,605, 900. Wood of all kinds il
cheap and abundant, nearly all the
building being of timber, and wood
constituting the principal fuel; the
area of forest land is nearly three times
as great as that under cultivation.

chronological Journal
In western Washington, between the
Cascade range on the east and the
coast, or Olympic range on the west, aud
between the 47th and 40th degrees Of
north latitude, ia a thickly timbered belt
Of fir, cedar, alder, maple, and other
woods. OF theSe, fir probably represents
three-fourths. In the midst OF this
wealth of forelt, nature has placed
broad, deep arm OF the Pacific ocean
Puget scNnd-with which it Is connected
by the strait Of Fuca. Thus not only
has nature provided the timber, but
the water way also by which 1t is
possible for the merchant marine of
the world to come and obtain their
lumber supplies, much of which, some
time in the future, must be furnished
from these forests Already the lum-
Der trade with Australia, Central and
South America, China, and the island
of the Pacific, amounts to fully 70, 600
900 feet year, and employs feet Of
about fifteen vessels every month.
Puget sound is 200 miles in length,
and has littoral of 1900 miles, This
irregular shore line forms innumerable
harbors, splendidly adapted for the
erection OF mills and other wood
working factories, and also for the es-
Enlistment Of ship-yards. Along this
whole shore line, and from thence on
both sides as far as the eyes reaches,
nothing can be seen but the vast and
magnificent wealth of timber, save here
and there where man has established 8
mill port, town, or an occasional
farm.
In the timber belt of western Wash
ington there are 10000, 900 acres GOV
cred with timber, most of which il
included within the limits named-aI
area nearly equal to the combined area
of the states Of Connecticut, Massachu
sets, Vermont, and New Hampshire
This timber belt will average 80, 900 fee
of lumber to the acre, or o total of 500,
900, 600, 900 feet of lumber. Hence, tn
saw-mills of Puget sound, with thei
present capacity of 500, 900, 900 feet
| year, would take ZOO years to cut i
down. The fir trees frequently attail
the height Of $50 feet, and planks O
lumber are sometimes turned out O
these mills 100 feet long.
