A VERY REMARKABLE Boom The
pure amber is precious stuff, and the ex-
travagance and grandeur of the Russian
rulers may be suggested by a chamber
in the old palace of Catherine the Great
at Tsarska Selo, thirty miles from Peters
bnrg, which is lined, walls and ceiling,
with the finest amber. As the room is
half as large as the great East room in
the White House at Washington, its
value is purely matter of speculation.
1t cannot be estimated. The golden
gum in large pieces-larger than can be
found elsewhere in the world; in fact, no
where but under the waters of the Baltic
is so large an accumulation of the stuff,
and it is laid. like mosaic, so artisticallv
that the divisions can scarcely be detect
ed. When the room is lighted the effect
is superb. There is nothing to compare
with it. This amber was gift from
Frederick the Great of Prussia to Cath
crime III, the most extravagant monarch
that ever reigned, at the time he was try
ing to prevent an alliance between her
and her sister queen, Marie Theresa of
Austria. The coat of arms of the giver
is carved in a large block of amber and
set in the center of the widest WALL

BUILDING AN INDIAN TEPEE.-An In
DIAN tepee, or wigwam, is made by
punching dozen or so long poles to-
gether at one end, and spreading ont the
other ends and sticking them in the
ground. Canvas or skins are stretched
over this frame work; that is the red
mans home, with one merit, if no other
portability. The Arapahoe or Conan
che has only to shut his house together
Ike an umberlla, tie one end of the bunch.
Of poles to his pony's neck, and he is
ready to travel. A whole village may
sometimes be seen in course of locomo.
ton, one hundred horses dragging as
many tepees. When suitable location
is found, the rapidity with which the
Indian village springs up would put to
blush even the mushroom towns of real
estate spectators. In a couple of hours
the tepees are erected, the fires built,
and the business of life begun as if the
town were as old as Rome.--Lee Meri-
wether in The Cosmopolitan.

YOUTHFUL WISDOM IN A BLIzzARD.-It
is related of two little girls of IL and 13
years of age that they were late in going
to school, and when about half way the
storm arose and they turned back
After wandering about for time they
came to straw stack. Tie older girl
dug ont the straw as far as she could.
She then put her sister in ahead of her
aud crowded in after her. She took off
their shoes, and when their feet grew
cold she rubbed them briskIy. The
younger girl fell asleep, but the elder
kept awake and continued the rubbing
process when necessary. The parents
gave up their children as lost, bnt early
Friday morning, after the storm had
subsided, the girls none the worse for
their experience, made their way home,
and it is needless to say there was great
Joy and rejoicing in that house. A wise
head is sometimes found on very young
shoulders. Minneapolis Tribune.

A Garden Scene.

stroll about the garden where the sunbeams
kiss the ffow'rs,
Where blossoms bathe in sunlight in the gold
en- midday hours.
Adown the slope my lady comes as fair as
dawn in Spring:
The roses blush to welcome her, and chimes
Of lilies ring.
No lily in the garden with her hands pure
whiteness yies;
The purple pansies pale beside the azure Of
her eyes.
She knows and loves the flowers, and she
smiles on ev'ry one.
The marigod-the inarigold is nodding in the
sun.
The daiseis and the dafodils within the mead
ows there
Look longingly afar to her, and sigh in faint
despair
So small are they; so far sway. their love they
must deplOre;
And yet for very hopelessness they love her
all the more.
Their plight is mine; for proud my lady is, as
proud as fair;
While poor am ]. ask her name the fiowr
she loves most there,
She answers not; her longing eyes look
thouphtfully away;
But Marry gold; ay, marry gold" is what
they seem TO say.

MUMMGEs Dirt CHEAp.-Dr. J. As.
drant Bey, of Cairo, Egypt, has spent
twenty-five years in the land of the Par
aohs and speaks all the languages of that
polyglot country. In order to instruct
the native doctors, two years ago he
started an Arabic medical paper, which
has met with success. For years he has
devoted his time TO the study Of arch
zoology, and has amassed enough Egypt
ian gods, from Horus and Osiris down.
to nearly fill the Metropolitan Museum
or art. The mummies of Egypt, he
SAID, were now dirt cheap, owing to re-
cent cent discoveries. They sold from SO to
$50 each, the price depending chiefly on
their state of preservation. He brought
over mummified hawk as a curiosity
and presented it to the Smithsonian In
stltutlon. Scientists, who formerly paid
high prices for fine, first class mummies.
OF late years, the doctor said, purchased
very few. The cheap mummies were
bought principally by the agents for
museums. New York Commercial Ad-

There are ,010 medicines in the phar
macop9ia of the United States, i'll most
communities there is one man who has
tried every one of them before discover
ing that there never was anything the
matter with him. The taste for strong
drink is a mild, innocGous, feeble inclin
alton compared with the raging mania
for "taking medicine" when once it
gains a perniciously active hold npon a
man. There are not many really sick
people In the world, aud if it wasn't for
the man who delights in dosing himself
with anything that has long name and
an almanac attachment, there wouldn't
be half enough paint on the rocks of
picturesque America to hide the land
scape.-Burdette in Chicago Journal.

There are 1,4O0, 100000 people living
on the planet which we inhabit. And
yet there IS now and then man who
wonders what the rest of us will do when
he dies. There are people in society
who honestly think that all the world
closes its eyes when we lie down to sleep.
There are men who fear to act according
to their own convictions because, per-
haps, ten persons in o crowd of 1,4OO,-
100000 will laugh at them. Why, if a
man could only realize every moment
what bustling, busy, fussy, important
little atom he is in all this great ant hill
of important, fussy little atoms, every
day he would regard himself less and
think still less of the other molecules in
the corral. .-Burdette.

There has been much speculation as to
how the ancient Egyptians managed to
erect their enormous monliths sometimes
100 feet in height and weighing hundreds
of tons. An interesting recent article in
The Revue Scientifque, by II. Arnau-
dean, offers the explanation that water
VS. employed. Round the obeIisk,
lying horizontally, with the base toward
the pedestal, was raised a circular incios-
ure, of height equal to that of the mon
olith. This latter had pieces of wood or
other floats fitted to it, especially at the
upper part; SO that when water was
brought into the inclosure the obelisk
rose gradually to the vertical. The p1o-
cess may be simply initiated by intro
ducing the end of screw nail into
piece of cork, putting it in basin and
then introducing water.-Frank Leslie's

familiar with the construction of foreign
