Some miles beyond Burney falls, from

dreds of feet on Crystal lake, n CLASSY
sheet of water more thar a mile in length,
now all ablaze with sunshine. We fol,
lowed n steep road that led below to the
meadows, green as English ones that
poets sing of, that skirt the ~reed-edged
waters to where n dairy stands, its low
roofs trailed across by clinging hop vines.
Just here the lake leaps over stony steps
n dozen feet in height, and pours its
foaming floods into a rapid stream that
hurries on to Hat creek. These mimic
falls span 100 feet, and circle many tiny
isle of richest grass and flowers. The
mistress of this dairy stands on her steps
in leisure moments and feeds her fishes
curds. They crowd by hundreds open
mouthed and eager. She takes advantage
of their hunger and drops a hook among
them. She draws a prize every time
and throws it into a tank to be con-
venient for the frying pan. That morn

iron point on the end this relentless wo-
man speared her fish with every dash,
flinging it out on the wet floor, where it
wriggled and painted for a moment, and
when it became quiet was carefully
slowed away in a basket by Mrs. Char
ley. The lake had plenty more, and the
mistress never found any trouble catch

Careful manual training is one of the
few good things that arc good for every
body. 1t is good for the rich boy, to
teach him respect for the dignity of
beautiful work. 1t is good for the poor
boy, to increase his facility for handling
tools, if tools prove TO be the thing he
must handle for a living afterwards. 1t
is good for the bookish boy, to draw him
away from books. But, most. of all, it is
good for the non-bookish boy, in showing
him that there is something he can do
well.
The boy utterly unable, ever if he were
studious, to keep Up in book knowledge
and percentage with the brighter boys
becomes discouraged, dull and moody.
Let him go to the work room for an hour
and find that he can make n box or plane
a rough piece of board as well as the
brighter scholar-nay, very likely better
h his brighter %neighbor, and you have
given him an impulse of self respect that
is of untold benefit to him when he goes
back TO his studies. He will be a brighter
and n better boy for finding out some
thing that he can do well. Mind you, it
is not planning the board that does him
good; it is planning the board in the pres
enCc of other boys who can no longer
look down upon him when they see how
well he can plane. He might go home
after school and plane a board in the
bosom of his family or go to an evening
school TO learn to plane without a quar-
ter part, nay. without any, of the inval-
liable effect upon his manhood that It
will have to let him plane side by side
with those who in mental attachments
may be his superiors. Nashville Amer

Tho study of Volapuk is the current
fad with New Orleans ladies. 1t is pos
siblc that not all of them could give q
tangible reason for learning a language
that appears to be q hash up of all
others, that has no literature and which
no poets, or essayists or actors use, and
which apparently offers q store of practi-
cally useless information. 1t is not GER
tain that all of these students will stick
until they acquire the language, although
it is believed that a fair knowledge of it
may be acquired in less than a half o
dozen months. Volapuk, however,
makes an original fad, and the study of
it is very good training, that may lead to

around is a vast plain, now golden, now
red, now in part black, now gray, chang
ing MS the sun changes. as the great
shadows of the pyramids are projected
upon it, or as the moon comes with its
pale light and tones down the grand
chromatic display. The only variation
IN the wondrous expanse comes from the
mounds Of sand here and there. These
last change ~agreeably to the whims of
tho wind. Like draught animals, at one
moment they seem to be resting and
waiting for their call to labor. Then
thea airy messenger comes and gives the
word. At once the sand begins to rise in
slender spirals. Body and strength are
gathered as it continues whirling and
ascending, until it towers aloft like n
great black column. Now it is Joined by
n wild company impelled by the wind,
and all hasten across the plain-all rising
higher and higher, all wavering, spinning
with awful velocity, until, their destina-

water spouts, break and burst high in the
air, and are diffused-a terrible storm
upon the plain below. Woe be TO man
