In It's profouIndest rest.

Upon the Rivers breast

She sailcth through the night,

The barque she bears no mortal name
No crew ofmortal mold.

She floats far isles OF music through,
And Isles OF memories
And she Is mystically faught
With dreams remembered long.

And nil the seas ef song.

The prices charged for artificial limbs are
800 per leg, $50 to s15 per arm and $50 per
foot, with all the latest improvements. The
business is said to be steadily growing. At
one time it was thought by the now leading
maker that if he could manage to sell one
limb per day it would be good business
But last year this factory put out al average
Of three per day, or nearly 900 in the year
great many Of these were exported, and
quite a number of them went to South
America. Every order is made especially to
measure, and guaranteed to fit without see
ing the person. The invention of the rubber
foot was found of particular advantage, as
the former wooden foot in use had to have
its joints constantly oiled, or it would creak,
and was otherwise liable to get out of order
The rubber also imparts more natural
elasticity and firmness.
Excepting the rubber extremities, the
limbs are generally made of willow wood
OF course they will wear out, but with care a
good leg, it is said, will last twenty-five
years 1t is claimed by the manufacturers
that the prices of these limbs should in some
measure govern jury verdicts for the loss Of
natural ones. There is one thing that the in
vention has not overtaken yet, and that is
the manufacture of hands with controllable
fingers like the natural ones. They can be
made with certain attachments to answer
the purpose Of simple muscular action, such
as grasping fork or doing any one partic-
uiar thing; but the complex machinery Of
the natural hand has never yet been dupG-
Gated artifcially. 1t may not be known also
that people who have lost legs yet use regular
stockings, but that is an adjunct Of the arti-
fetal limb business as well; they are made in
eleven different sizes and of various patterns.
For those who desire to go fishing and wade
streams and otherwise incur wet feet, water
proof legs are also manufactured, which are
proof against rust, liability to stretch, shrink
or otherwise become waterlogged and unnav-
igable. New York Commercial Advertiser.

Different Kinds Of Tigers.

The statement is confirmed that, though
the tiger Of the hills differs from the tiger OF
the plains in such particulars as color, length
Of stripes and rings on the tail, the speciee,
for practical purposes, is one and the same.
But this is subject to the explanation that
the prey Of the tiger differs according to the
locality which it frequents In heavy tree
jungle it lives on deer and hogs. In large
plains where bulrusb and high grass alternate
with open pasture and cultivation the animal
becomes "a cattle killer" Last and most
dreaded is the man eater, who may be found
wherever portly Brahmin goes 20 the tank
or river to battle, and the sound of the Ratchet
betrays the whereabouts Of the woodcutter.
Tho accounts Of tigers that measure IL or 10
feet from the nose to the tip of the tail are
very properly secuted. They may be classed
with wonderful elephants Of IL feet in height.
The average length of the tiger is about w
feet, snd leopard about 7.-Saturday he

The monthly horse sale held in Odell last
Thursday was dismal failure The attend
ance was small and the sales few. 1t seems
that this monthly sale Of stock is not the
success it was hoped it would be, and from
the failures Of the undertaking in Fairbury,
Pontiac, Wenona, Lacon, Henry, Odell, and
other neighbOring towns, that it would not
be wise at this time to inaugurate them in
this city. The local horse buyers keep the
stock closely bought ur, and only the poor.
er animals would be brought in tor sale.

How II heart Is hurt within me,

When childish tears were quick to flow;
She would smooth my face with her tender hahhi

If only my lover knew

When We had not learned 10 live apart,
But leaned Tor love on each others heart;
He would hold me close tn his heavins bresLit,

But Il pierccs me like q knife
To think that they do not know II,
To think they can look in my pleading eyes,
Yet never question my hidden life;
Can touch my lips In the same old place
Yet never look for the soul in my face
Oh, the tears are bitter that fill my eyes

Only, every time news came Of robbery or
murder by Kansas and his gang, would the
poor girl become agitated, and cry for ven
geance on the man who took from her a dear
father.
Three years slipped quickly away at George
Washington Gulch The robbcr had evil

for the girl; for, at odd times, packet Of

sas.n II had always been placed there over
night, in q mysterious manner, for no one
was ever seen to do it. Parson Jim himself
still preached every Sunday in the Sample
Rooms, and was still prime favorite with
the miners, though they sometimes wondered
why a man who was evidently SO well
fixed" as the parson should elect TO stay in
a rough, out Of tho way place like the gulch.
Ethel Winship had grown into a beautiful
woman, and was as good az she was pretty.
Parson Jim perceived this Parson Jim was

One evening in the springtime he told
Ethel OF his love, and asked her to be his

my mind to keep myself to offer, IL needs be,
as a reward to the man who shall kill or

resolve, would say Yes at once, for jim,
YOU deserve my love and all can give YOU
But do not ask me, dear. Perhaps Kansas
will be captured, anyhow, and soon, by some
one who will never think Of reward. Then
well, don't think badly Of me- Jim, dear;
two things will make me a happy girl--ven.
