An Underground Forest.

An underground forest was recently dis covered in the metal mountains of SaKony. These mountains are covered with forests of pines and frs, in which there are a large number of open spaces serving as pastures for the cattle kept on them during the summer. Many of these forest pastures are inundated in fall and remain under water until the summer following. The result of those pc riodical inundarions is the formation of deep layers of peat, which supply the region with valuable heating material Along pass through that forest region a railroad is now building between the cities of Annaberg and Schwarzenberg In one of the peat pastures the navvies have just laid open the stems of a primeval forest in an advanced stage of the process of petrifaction, or carbonization. The stems are all of the fir family, from fifteen to thirty inches circumference on the average, and imbedded in peat some fifteen to twenty feet under the surface. No reliable estimate of the age of the forest has yet been pub. hshed-Chicago Newa

ROGER LAR0QUE.
Adapted and Translated from the French

BY OLIVE HARPER.

They opened Q door and signed him to fol- low. There vas 0 dainty little room, a little bed with snowy curtains, and on the white bed slept Suzanne, the light falling softly upon her rosy face and her shining hair. He knelt beside the bed and kissed the dimpled hand that lay outside the cover, but so softly that the sleeper knew nothing.
 With his heart relieved Roger retired from the room and returned with the old couple to the fireside, and then he wept in silence for a row. and by the sight of that little form he loved so we'll and from whom he had been % cruelty separated year and half ago. Suddenly he gasped for breath and seemed attacked by vertigo, and was falling from his chair when Bernardit caught him, and Roger murmured as if ashamed: "Give me little Aread, for pity's sake; have not eaten for iaree days"
 After having eaten, Roger told his story of aow he had escaped with three political pris- sners, and they had made their way, step by step, from one place to another, working their passage as sailors until they reached America. At New York Roger had found a position ill a machine shop, and as soon as he had earned enough money he had returned to Europe, but he had not enough, and at Antwerp he found himself without money to buy food, and he dared not attempt to make the voyage in France on foot for fear of being recognized. So he paid railroad fare and had reached here almost starved. He knew from Lucien that the Bernardits would take Su- game, and here he came, scarce daring to hope she was alive.

In ms arms and covered her with kisses, and he did not notice that she did not kiss hlm. Then he asked:
 Are you glad to see me, my childs"
 Yes, father"
 We will not be parted again. We are go- ing away together"
 Going away? Going to leave Val Dieu and good uncle and aunt3 Father, why cannot you stay here?n
 For reasons which you cannot understand, my darling"
 we will go."
 aShe has entirely forgotten" i" said he, thank fully, to himself.
 At last Suzanne, muf1led up to the eyes, was ready, and the old aunt, with tears streaming down her withered cheeks, said:
 "Go, my child, my darling. am too old to hope to ever see you again. Take, then, my last kiss, and may God guard you and guide you!"
 Then the uncle kissed the pale little face, and his heart swelled with grief, but he tried to bear up.
 My precious baby,7 said he, "your father needs you, and you must go. He will do all he can to make you happy. Do the same for him. If you ever come back to France, come home here, where you are our own child God bless you. Roger, write to us, and let us know how she is, and send her photograph if you can, and as often as you want money send for it."
 "Good aunt and uncle, will never forget you, and will love you forever" said the child
 Then Roger took her in his arms and went out into the tempest of snow and icy wind, and in twenty minutes more they were speed- ing away toward tha frontier, while the two desolate old people wept in their deserted home.

beyond Clo mouse WneT0 ne n&Q lived. The house was closed and the beautiful garden had run to weeds. Desolation and neglect were marked upon the place, and Roger could not bear tue sight of his once charm ing homo thus gone to decay. He wandered to tho edge of the town to the little grave yard, but until night fell he dared not go to the tomb he searched. The moon rose and by its light he discovered a grave surrounded by an iron grating, and on the marble cross, hidden by weeds that grew rank over the poor martyr beneath, he found the name of his wife. He sank down and laying lSs face on the cold damp grass wept for his young wife, whose death now seemed more real to him than it ever had before He gathered a handful of the rank, coarse weeds and kissed them and placed them in his pocket and rose to go, with heavy heart, for she had died
 believing him guilty. He had turned to go,
 when he thought he saw woman's figure moving among the graves. His heart stood still, and be looked with wild eyes toward the
 phantom, if such it was He watched and she walked from one grave to another,
 searching everywhere and looking at all the
 inscriptions on the stones as she went His heart stopped beating, as something in
 her walk or movement told him that it was his daughter, though long cloak and hood drawn closely over her face completely hid
 her from view.
 If it was Suzanne, then she had forgotten nothingl She knew all. and for ten long wears had so dissimulated that he was en- tirely deceived, in spite of all the efforts he had made to discover her mind.
 His emotion was so strong that he was oblipef1 to seat himself upon tombstone and wipe away the thick drops of cold sweat from his forehead.

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

The habit of piecing between meals is pernieious one. The di- gestion and health of many children are thus ruined. Peoples Health Jour nal
 Do not leave any tomatoes in the bottom of tin can, but pour them into an earthen bowl till they will be wanted. This applies to nearly all canned vegetables.
 Ducks and geese should never have access to a lawn. They pull the grass up by the roots. As they are voracious feeders, and not fastidious, they can be made to do good service, however, on fields that are covered with young weeds.
 Farmers, or at least a majority of them, have yet to learn the value of thorough cultivation. Much of the in- jury to crops by drought can be pre- vented by continually stirring the soil, not simply enough to keep down weeds, but to keep the soil loose SO the airc can get down to the roots Of plants and to keep the soil moist. As soon as the sun has thoroughly dried cut the soil on the surface, turn it over and you will save your crop in very dry weather. -Rurai Ne1O Yorker.
 Corrosive sublimate is a virulent poison when taken inwardly, but with care it Is one of housekeepers great est blessings. While it is an absolute remedy for d-bugs, 1t does no harm to furniture. nor does il cause beds to screeeh, as some bug applications do. A wash Of this mixture. applied 10 ex- posed places, cracks, corners, beds. etc, at housekeeping time, will act as a powerful preventive. No house need harbor bed-bugs long if vigorous use of corrosive sublimate is made = Good Housekeeping.

 Bees never injare sound fruit. Wasps will puneture grapes, etc, but with bees it is q physical impossibility.

Numerous experi- ments have been tried among the rest. one of putting the hives in an apart ment and taking the bees food away and making them fast for few days at d time, and all the time exposing grapes. etc. but the bees would not de any injury, even under these eircum- stances. If fruit burst, or is injured by the birds OF wasps or something else, the bees will soon suck all the juice; but that is an advantage rather than an injury 10 the grower. as the sound fruit k apt to rot by coming in contact with such, or by the juice 1owin" over the sound fruit.

APOPLExY IN FOWLS.
A Disease Frequently Found in Birds Kept
 in Close Confinement.

in Close Confinement.
 We often have complaints as to the dying of fowls without any apparent reason. They generally drop from the perch at night, they having gone to roost the night before apparently in the best of health, and, of course, the poultry-keeper can not account for their sudden death. Occasionally some of the birds that are carried off thus suddenly do show some indications of disease, by their unsteady walk and giddiness, but more generally there are no signs whatever, and the birds die without the least warning. Whom the hremonitory warnings arc noticed, steps should be taken at once to pre- vent the disease going any farther, and this can best be donc by giving no food for several hours, and a dose of one grain of calomel with fifteen grains Of jalap or if the bird is very i'll a more rapid remedy will be found by opening the large vein under the wing, and allowing the blood to flow freely When this has taken place. the blood must be stopped by the application of tincturc Of iron or turpentine.
 Apoplexy is found more frequently in the heavier than in the light vari- cities of poultry, and especially in birds that are kept in confinement. As in human beings, it is those that are the heaviest in build that are the most lia- ble to this disease. Fowls with full liberty are seldom affected by it, as the exercise they thus obtain very largely overeomes the evils of overfeed- l ing, even if that be resorted 10. But even fowls atliberty, if freely given In dian corn and other fatty food will he sure to run the risk of apopleXy. The l chief cause is undoubtedly the food and, as a consequence, Indian corn should only be used in small quantities and mixed with other grain. This | grain is very valuable for many pur poses but should be very sparingll used by the poultry keeper, for it ha, an excess of fat-forming qualities, and as consequence, causes the aceumula- tion of internal fat, congests tn, organs, stops laying and brings on many diseases, Of which ap l oplexy is one As we have saiC before. if the birds have plenty of ex- erciso they may, in some measure, overcome the injurious effects of toe rich food; but for those that are kept l in confinement the food must be neither rich or too plentiful, otherwise trouble will certainly ensue. We have known more than ono instance where the adoption of spare diet that is, giv- ing just as much to the fowls as they will eat quickly and readily, has led to the prevention of apoplexy, and to the better laying of the eggs, which have also been more fertile when used for matching. Were the same system adopted in every poultry yard great benefit would accrue.
 It will be deducted from what has been said that, with respect to apo plexy, prevention is the only reliable method, as cure is risky and uncer- tain Rich food must be carefully avoided, though in the winter or wet weather q little heating food is de- sirable and necessary.

HEARTS LOVE.

Like eenediction, sweet and holy, Failing on the heart like dew, IS thy love, Oh, friend the dearest IS thy love-strong, deep, and true. Like a river, calmly bearing
 on its bosom burdens fair, Is thy love, Oh, heart the truest,
 Is thy loving tender care. Like the morning light that brightens All the waiting shadowed land, Is thy love, Oh, heart undoubted, To thy trusting household band. Like the twilight calm and tranahi, Laden with the breath Of flowers, Shall thy love be--heart still faithful Through life's peaceful closing hours. -BosWorth Haie, ia G00d Hosssekeepi,tq.

American women who marry |

American women who marry En- glish husbands will have much difii- eulty in dissolving their union, if the conditions are unhappy, by a new divorce decision of the English court. which establishes the point that if an American woman married to an En- glish husband wishes to obtain valid divorce she must sue in the English courts, or she can not get it, the domi- cile of her husband being the eontrol- ing fact in the eye of the law. The daughter of an American Consul, who obtained divorce in a Colorado court from her husband, who declined to ap- pear, has recently lost the custody ca her child, and been divorced from her husband by the English court.
