group Of high peaks here, the Lakes, and
the vicinity, has q somewhat romantic
history connected with IT, During the
year Of 1858 and 1864 a great mining
excitement took place in this district A
band Of adventurous and excited pros
peGtOrs penetrated the solitude Of these
mountain heighs In a search for wealth
proved vain and fruitless. Within the
short period Of year quite town was
built up on this elevated site which has
a deep mountain forest for a back
ground and extended around the shores
Of the largest Of the beautiful lakes
whose name 1t received. 1t is said that
the population at the times Of the highest
excitement was several hundred Town
lots and streets were laid out, dwelling
houses, Offices, stores, saloons and dance
houses were erected, all of them new,
and many substantially bui {. Lots
were bought and sold for prices ranging
from 500 to $500, and all the surround
ing country was staked of and taken up
as mining claims. There yet remains
the evidence OF vigorous prospecting be
ing done in the numerous cuts, shafts
and tunnels which dot the mountain
sides. The work is not extensive and
shows an almost total ignorance Of sys-
tematic prospecting on the part Of the
adventures of that time.

Alpine Argus.
Highland lakes are two oval sheets Of
cleLr, sparkling water, situated on a pla-
teau over ten thousand feet high. The
largest is about one aud a half miles in
circumference, and the other about one
third smaller. Both are fed by waters
which descend the mountains around
their shores from the snow, which even
at this time Of year (August) lies In
huge banks high up on either hand.
The outlet Of the larger lake is toward
the northeast, and is the head waters OF
the Mokelumne river, while the smaller
lake empties its water In a south westerly
direction and forms the source Of the
Stanislaus. A slight eminence sepa-
rates the lakes about an eighth OF a mile.
The water Of the lakes has G crystal
clearness whose deep blue rivals the
clear ether Of that high altitude. We
know Of no soundingz ever having been
made to find the depth Of the water, but
from the appearance OF it and the sud
denness with which the bottom Of the
lake drops OF close to the shore in diff
ferent places, the depth must reach
twenty fathOms or more.
The general topography Of the sur
rounding mountains indicates that the
lakes occupy the crater Of an extinct vol
canO, and that at one time they formed
but one body Of water. A huge land
slide divides the lake in the center Of
the plateau on which it had lain and
formed two distinct lakes. At the out
lets OF the lakes the land reoedes rspidly,
and it would seem that their waters could
easily burst through their confines and
drain themselves. This Is most notice
ably the case with the smaller and most
westerly lake, where the land descends
a hundred feet In the same number OF
feet within a couple Of rods OF the lake
shore.
The lakes are both said to be thiekly
peOpled with salmon trout, some Of
which have attained a large GROWTH but

A NYindovE Garden.

There Is help for life and thought in
gardens, in green fields, and in "forest
aisles." The poorest son Of earth, sOrdid
and debased as he may be, hemmed in
by brick walls and stOne-paved streets,
will 60 out of his way to see a bit Of
green earth, to look at a flower or vege-
table garden, or to sit in the shade Of
forest trees.
In the suburbs Of cities, the laboring
man and mechanic is enabled to Guilt
yRte small gardens. The garden is a
source Of much good; the mind is re-
ieved by the care bestowed upon it be
fore and after working hours; the change
Of labor to the open air is beneficial, and
the product Of the garden, insignificant
as it may be, is a luxury, az well as a
substantial aid. A garden has done more
to keep a man at home, and away from
tippling shops, than many other agencies
employed to the same end.
But In cities, in narrow streets, in
crowded tenements, a garden patch can
have no place; the earth is shut from
view-sealed. The bright, hopeful souls
In these dark places may be known by
the presence Of hOWers-a window over
run, or a single plant Let the flowers
increase, and yet give room for a vege-
table garden window vegetable gar
den. Such gardens exist. All they need
is air, sunlight and soil, food and drink,
and they can be provided in a window,
large or small.
Flowers and fruit may be combined.
Several varieties or beans Of the creeping
order, have beautiful blossoms. The
flower and vine Of the cucumber would
be priced highly If rare. The pea is an
attractive plant its growth is pretty, If the
flower be plain. Not a large quantity
OF beans or peas can be raised in a WIN
dow, although a handful Of either may
serve as a dainty relish; but the cucum-
bers may be coaxed and trained to pro-
duce a liberal truitage.
In each window may be two boxes,
one at least foot in width, six inches
deep, and as long as the window is wide.
If there be two boxes in a window, the
upper one must be longer than the width
Of the window, in order to rest on brack-
cts nailed to the window casing. Into
the boxes put five inches OF earth, and
mix with Glover foOd'' small packages
Of which may be bought Of any dealer

In the boxes, long before the open
window season, may be planted lettuce,
celery, cucumber and other plant seed
Full luEuriant heads OF lettuce may be
grown In these boxes, and the celery may
be used as Germans uss ito flavor

may appear to b child's play, aud too

HEREAPERs
By WILL WALLACE HAaSEz.

When the tired rsapers, with fragrant sheaves,
And the sky is rich as the falling leaves
Ia crimson and purple and golden brown,
j sit In the mellow and marvellous ewes
And watch as the loom of the sunset Weavs5
It's cloth Of gold over country and town
And think how the summers have come and gone
Since we saw the shuttle across the blue
That WOVe the coloEs Of dusk and dawn
When the musk of the sleeping roses flew
On the wings of the south wind over the lawn,
And the evening shadows were longer drawn,
and the sun was low and the stars were few,
When love was sweet in the lives we led
As the leavan that lives in the latter spring
10 grow 10 the flowers, the books We read,
The rump and rush of the grape vine swing
In words ana work, TO be filed and fed
On brooks Of honey and wasted bread
And sung Ia the songs We used to sing,
And out of the shadows they come 20 me.
As flowers of the spring come, year by year
The lovers We had when love was free,
Lne stars were few and the skies were clear,
aud we knew 10 was happiness, just % De,
Through the shaaVes OF the cloud land fair TO see,
While the weary rsapers are drawing near.
Though the red and white roses have lost their
leaves
In the ashes Of summers long ago,
They come, through the mellow marvellous ever,
With the harvest of love that We used to SOW.
AZ rich as the garlands the sunset weaves
When the tired reapers with fragrant sheaVe8
Come out of the corn and the sun is low.

Some one recently made public the
remark that if the whole human race
were divided into families Of i've persons
each, the state Of Texas is large enough
to supply half an acre OF land to each
family. The statement surprised some
people, and not a few Of them declared
hastily, without performing the necessary
calculation, that it could not be true.
But it Is true. There are supposed to
be about fourteen hundred million
persons living on the globe. A half acre
to each family Of five would require one
acre for ten persons or one hundred and
sixty-two thousand square miles, or
nearly one Numbered and eighty eight
million acres. Consequently there would
be a surplus OF almost twenty eight
millions left over after every family was
provided for, which would be sufficient
for four or five times the present pOpUla-
ton Of the United States.
Not many people realize how little
space would be needed to accommodate
the whole human race assembled in one
place. Suppose We were to fancy every
human being forming one Of a vast con
gregaticn seated in 1 400, 600 easy
chairs, each occupying a square yard Of
ground. As there are nearly three mil
ion one hundred thousand square yards
in a square mile that number represents
the size Of the congregation that could
be gathered on a tract Of four hundred
and ffty-two square miles each way Les
than tWo-fifths Of the area Of the little
stale Of Rhode Island would suffice to
give comfortable seating room to the
whole human race. One-twelfth Of the
area Of Rhode Island would be enough
to afford standing room-as people stand
in a crowd without crushing-to every
man, woman and child on the ace Of the
globe.

New York Times.
L have come to the conclusion that ere
long there will be no need Of searching
the baggage Of returning tourists. There
is little or nothing to be bought nova
days in Europe that cannot be gotten in
the United States, and in the few cases
in which a saving is effected this is more
than offset by differences Of style, etc
that Americans, as a rule, viii not bear
with. I long ago abandoned ths hunt
for characteristic" trihes. From altar
Of roses and Venitian mirrors down to
travelling clocks and corkscreWs, every
thing worth purchasing nowadays is
found alike in all great cities between
st. Petersburg and San Francisco. The
italian ieWeler who Gskes you sixty lire
for a bracelet and takes six has migrated
to Lucene, and the little wooden bears
from Berne greet you on the banks of
the Neva. AS for prices, they have risen
with a rush. The shopping stranger Ia
Europe has brought prosperity to the
dealers in cheap and poor fabrics and
articles, and encouraged the Trustworthy
sEOpkespers to increase their demands.
There is still a difference, I admit, be-
tW en- the highest New York figures and
the highest figures In London and Paris,
but it Is not a very sensible one. One

Three Stories About soldiers.


Atlanta Constitution.
A good story is told on a young re-
cruit who recently enlisted at Camp
Hancock, near Atlanta. The yOuRg fel-
low Joined the army while the country
was threatening war with Mexico, and he
intended to make a good soldier. One
day he was on guard duty and was
slowly stepping along when an officer
approached. After the usual salute the
officer said:
'tLet me see your guu?'
Theraw recruit handed over his Spring
field rifle and a pleased expression stole
over his face
As tue officer received the gun he said
in a tone Of deepest disgust:
you're a fine soldier! You've given
up your gun, and now what are you 60
ing to d9?"
The young Albanian turned pale, and,
reaching for his hip pocket, drew a big
six shooter, and, preparing for business,
said In a voice that could not be misun-
| derstOOd:
"Gimme that gun, or I'll blow a hole
through you In a pair r minutes"
The officer instantly decided not to
monkey" any further with the raw re-
cruit, and the gun was promptly sur
rendered.
-
This story brings to mind one that is
told OF a Confederate guard who was
once on duty over in South Carolina. An
officer was discussing war matters, and
remarked
'You know your duty here, do you,
sentinel? '

''Well, now, suppose they should open
on you with shells and musketry, what
would yoz do?'
''FOrm a line, sir"

eyes, sir form a bee line for camp,

~
One day Beauregard, with several
lesser lights, came upon a sentinel who
had taken bis gun entirely to pieces, and
was greRsing lock, stock and barrel. The
great general looked like a thunder
cloud, but neither his flashing uniform
nor the scOWI Of his face had any effect
on the sentinel, who quietly proceeded
to rub a piece Of his gun.
'Sav," remarked an officer, "that's
Beauregard there; he's sort Of a gen
eraL"
"AlI right, said the unabashed senti-
mel, 'if he'll wait till get this gun to-
gether III give him a sort Of a salute"
