with sunshine and shadow, in the mel lowed haze of the day that had dawned with such forbidding aspect.
 To the eastward old San Miguel, overlapping all of his near comrade mountains, with his brow among the low hanging clouds and his feet among the valley grasses, stands guarding the coast for miles, looking directly down upon that immense mass of masonry, the Snutwster dam, that holds the mountains waters in check for the ir- rigation of the farms and cities be- yond.
 To the north, in the lower grounds, the railway winds along, and the train, steaming in and out among the orange orchards and verdsnt hills, makes picture fit for the brush of an artist. To the west lies the orchard already mentioned and over this, when all other voices are silent, may be heard the roar of the ocean in the dis tance.
 The beautiful in nature struck re- sponsive chord in my heart that viz brated under it's magical touch. An other may not see or feel its beauties as I, but, standing there with the soft breezes blowing about me and the ra- diant sky above, felt that there would like my future home, 30 near the ocean that one may hear its muf- fled voice, subdued by distance, may catch it's cool, invigorating breezes r rithouf tho doy,OuoSo onI frooh nass that chill those sensitive to such con- ditions. There lungs and wasted en- ergies may regain their lost vigor in the pure mountain air, uncontam- mated by the foul odors that are una voidable in large cities. With the motor passing every hour or two one may have the convenience of city lite without it's disadvantages may build home (not twenty five foot front, but 150xS00, which is the size laid out for homes), with space sufficient for flowers and trees and all the cherished growing things that make home bcau- tiful, for which the soil of Sunnyside seems especially adapted, and at less than the cost of a small foothold in the city, where, remote from noise and greed of gain," one may seek rest for body and mind, environed by The fragrant balms of Sunnyside,
 Where gently sweeps the odorous breeze, Warm sifted through the orange trees, Der hills all emerald carpeted,
 Through wales where how'r-wrought rugs are
 spread,
 Mid numerous echos soft and low, Voices of earth's glad overflow,
 Of growing things, of insect wings, And all perpetual summer brings. - San Diego, Cal

 ''True; the genius of hard work. l will cite another case of which have personal knowledge. Some years ago l knew bright young man named Leslie Bulgrove. He was post office clerk in Indianapolis, Ind. He was one of the most accomplished men l ever saw. He devoted his three hours of leisure every day to various pur- suits. He divided them with unvary- ing method. This is what he did in five years. He had read and com- mitted to memory all of Shakespeare's plays, He could read Latin, Greek and French iiuently. lie was an ex- pert flute player. He was one of the best natural historians knew In addition to this he was proficient In every line of fencing and marksman- ship, and although he did not weigh more than l3o pounds he could strike ninety pound blow with his fist He simply in turn devoted halt an hour day to each subject. He kept this up unremitingly for five years and finally attained such degree of proficiency in each that he might have been called master. The se- cret of his success was hard work. He wasted no time. It Is true that he might have devoted his time to more profitable studies, and had he done SO he might have made great name for himself. only instance his case to show you that you and almost every man of your acquaintance waste enough time every day to make him great had he devoted 1t to its proper use"

An Opera Singer Strikes a High Note.

An Opera Singer Strikes a High Note.
 Hearing that member of the Carle- ton Opera company, which last week delighted Chicago audiences with comic opera, held one-twentieth of ticket No. 82, 2,114, which drew $50, ,00O in the March 18th drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery, TRAvELER representative called at the theatre and was informed that Miss Clara Wisdom was the fortunate person. Calling at her hotel, Miss Wisdom, who is very attractive young lady of twenty-two, and whose voice and manners are quite as charming as her appearance, replied to the reporters inquiries: "Yes, 1 held one- twentieth of ticket No. s2,114. It is rather funny" she laughingly continued, chow this ticket came into my pos- session and why it, among so many others, should have been the lucky one. Our company was en route from Salt Lake City to Denver, and while the train stopped at Ogden, vender of lottery tickets came into our car. Several of our company were eager to buy, and remembering a five dollar gold-piece which I had found in Los Angeles few days before, I thought it would be lucky piece to invest One lady noticing a hunch- back newsboy, made some remark about the prOverbial luck of hunch- backs, and proposed that he be called upon to select the numbers for our purchases. He was pressed into service and amid much merriment the selections were made, my purchase being five one- twentieth tickets. The incident afforded much amusement to the other passengers, and among them was one gentleman who had bought twenty tickets. After leaving Ogden this gentleman became acquainted, through MT. Carleton, our manager, with all the members of our company, and before parting from us he distrib- uted among the ladies the twenty tickets as souvenirs of the acqna;n:- ance. Upon receiving mine, No. 82,114, l remarked: Now if this should win you'll be sorry that you gave it away 'On the contrary he gallantly replied, I will be more pleased if it should bring something substantial 10 remember me by. hope 1t will win the capital prize We'll, it didn't win the largest prize but it has brought me s2,5OO which will assist my memory wonderfully. I shall continue with the Carleton company until the close of the season, when I shall go to Los Angeles, Cai., and possibly invest in real estate there"

Lost in Nicaragua.
New Orleans Picay une.


 X party of American engineers is engaged in Nicaragua in surveying a i line for an interoceanio canal. They commenced operations on the Atlantic side along the river San Juan. The difficulties of the work are great and numerous, as it must be prosecuted in dense tropical forest, with thick undergrowth of tangled and interlac- ing vines. Among the recent inci- dents of this survey were the experi- ences of two of the party who became bewildered in the forest and lost their way and were fer nine days exposed to serious privations.
 On December 80, Branford, a Nicar- aguan, and Allen, Jamaican, started on foot to carry the mail from one camp of surveyors to another some ten miles away. After walking for sew eral hours they lost their way. lnces- sant rain had flooded the swamps and left the ground in such condition that they were forced to remove their boots in order to make any progress. Close interlacing vines tore the clothes from their backs, and wet powder rendered their gun useless, thus de- priving them ot their only means of obtaining food. Half-naked and ex- hausted, they were scarcely able to walk, when Allen was attacked by the fever. Had it not been for Branford, man of great determination and bravery, who constantly encouraged and urged his companion to crawl on, hoping they might reach some river, the story might have been still sad der one to record.
 In vain they endeavored to obtain nourishment from cabbage palms, but their machetes had been lost the first night, and desperate attempts to re- move the bark had left their finger nails torn and bleeding. Fatigued and down. hearted they attempted to retrace their steps, and to this alone is probably due their lives, for on the fifth day they reached the headwaters of the Indian river, which leads down to Greytown, on the gulf coast.
 Rolling small log into the stream they lashed themselves to 1t by means of wild sacati grass, and, up to their necks in water, let the current take them whither it would. On the alter noon of the ninth day they were met by two india rubber hunters and en- joyed their first meal, which consisted of iguand, a species of lizard highly esteemed as delicacy in these coun- tries.
 The swampy jungles of the eastern section trough which these fellows passed are infested with tigers and ta- pirs, but though they were followed during the day and kept awake at night by the howls of the former around their improvised beds, yet they were unmolested. After nine days of suffering they drifted into Grey town, where they found relief.
 Thirty-five or forty years ago Lieu tenant Isaac Strain, of the United States navy, was lost with a consider able party, while exploring the wind iDgs of the Chagrees river on the Isth- mus of Darien and barely escaped alive, while one- third of his men suc- cumbed to starvation and disease.

 AN ADDRESS TO DEATH.
BY CHARLES s. BLACKBURN.

Stand back, you cowardl Why assail these,
 who
 Do not offend you-these, all free of sin? Your field is large; this holds helpless few, Who tempt you not, nor bid you come
 within. Go, thrust your knife into the rotten side of boasting vice; pull tight the rope around The neck of knayes; your pale horse mount
 and ride
 In ghastly glee OCT glory's battle ground: Go, slay the son of Cain, before he kills His brother; the as sassin, while he plots; The crowned autocrat, whose edict fills Foul gaols, wherein confined, best manhood
 rots: But touch not these: sweet lips and sparkling
 eyes,
 Pure bodies, hearts, and unstained souls
 were made To live and make of earth a paradise: Let fall not over them your awful shade.

Bric-a- Brae on the Grave.
Sd. Louis Glol,e nomeerai.


 Tho BatSon cemetery, & quiet coun- try graveyard four miles east of New castle, Ind, contains one of the most remarkable evidences of eccentrioity and peculiar marks of respect to the dead 1t has ever bcen the fortune of your correspondent to witness. In tho family lot ot Paul II. Hughes, an old and respected citizen of that vi. einity, are three graves, The lot Is nicely gNvcled and we'll kept, and the graves arc surrounded by little walks of brick and sea shells. There Is no monument, headstonc or other mark to show who lies buried there.
 Over the grave of Mrs, Hughes, who died seven years ago, Is heavy wooden box, with an iron lid, which, upon re- moval, reveals cabinet about fcet long, ? feet wide and ls inches decp, with glass top and sides. lnthis cab met Is probably as odd a collection as was over seen, and perhaps the only ono ot tho kind in the world. At that end toward the foot of tho grave Is a miniature ark extending across the cabinet, which Is about eIght inches high and has a gable roof. Distrib. uted in front of tho ark. and looking toward tho head of the grave, Is a group of over 200 figures. represent Ing the animals, "two by two.' as they came out of the ark, and at their head stand eight figures to represent old Noah, his wife and his sons and daughters. . =
 Besides these therc arc two bcauti- fnl bronze statues of German soldiers, one on each side of tho cabinet thce glass and two elegant silver vasos, with handsome bouquets of artificial wild flowers and ostrich plumes; four polished blocks, each bearing a beau tifui coiored glass ball and two sup porting busts of small children two odd looking horns, prettily painted and decorated with silken cords and tassels, and many other minor articles.
 The cabinet and its contents wore placed In their position by Mir. Hughes, who has taken this method of showing his respect for his deceased wife instead of erecting a monument to her memory. llo hns expressed a wish to have similar cab inet and collection placed on his own grave after his death.
