A Clever Rascal.

Some clever rascal in London adver-
tised that he would on receipt of six
pence in stamps, return to the sender
one shilling. The advertisement was
published prominently enough to at
tract considerable attention, and it
naturally excited remark. To most
persons it seemed very transparent
humbug, too silly to be called fraud,
but there were n few curious individu-
ais who determined to see whether the
advertiser was crank or had some
game, SO they sent on their sixpences.
BY return mail each one received the
shilling. A few days after. the same
advertisement again appeared in sew
eral of the newspapers, and everybody
who had tried it before told all of his
friends about it. The result was that
several hundred sixpenccs were receiv-
ed; and next day as many shillings
went back. The third time the adrcr-
tisement appeared the mail received by
the clever sharper was simply enor-
nous. Letters came from all parts Of
the kingdom and from all sorts of peo-
pie, high and low, rich and poor. The
rogue pocketed several thousands of
pounds, and curiously enough, neglect
ed to make any returns.

The African Slave Trade.

Some of the very districts in Africa
that once furnished cargoes for Ameri-
can slave vessels, are now the hunting
grounds Of Arab slavers. Hundreds Of
people whose ancestors were also the
fathers ofmany of our colored citizens,
are now dragged away in chains, not to
the coast, but to the slave markets of
Morocco and the Mohammedan States
in the Soudan. We refer particularly
to the country north of Yoruba, now
happily coming under French influence,
and to the regions between the Cam
eroons and Adamana, once fruitful
source of supply for the export slave
trade, and only recently invaded by
the Arab. The question whether the
Arab or white man is To- rule Africa
seems likely soon to force itself upon
the worlds attention. Intelligent
colorcd men in this country must
watch with particular interest the
progress of the eloquent Cardinal
Lavigerie, who, by the express de-
sire Of the Pope, is now preaching n
crusade for the absolute suppression
of the traffic. York san.

A Great Prehistoric Forest.

The most magnificent and largest
fragment of polished siliciiied wood
ever brought from the petritied forest
of Arizona to the eastern seaboard was
placed on exhibition yesterday by a
jewelry house in this city, says the New
York ISUH.
1t is perfect section from gigan-
tic fossil tree trunk, three feet in
height and forty-one and th'rty-four
inches in greatest length and breadth
across the top. Although entirely of
stone, weighing altogether 4, /, POO pounds,
the tree form is perfectly preserved
The bark can be readily distinguished,
as also knot hole showing where at
some prehistoric time the aged tree,
while still living lost one OF its limbs.
In color the specimen is dark red or
brown on the unpublished portion. On
the table-like top, however. where the
trunk has been cut across transversely,
the skilled hand of the polisher has
been ut work and the CLASSY surface
exhibits the most beautiful shades of
red. carmine, and crimson, as well as
various tints of yellow, orange. brown,
light green, purple, gray, white, and
blend imperceptibly into each other.
while in others they are distinct mark
ings or blotches upon the general rich,
red background.
Another thing also very interesting
is the distinctness of the annual rings
of the tree. Under the microscope also
the entire original texture of the wood
may be studied down to the minutest
cells. From this study it is thought that
the original tree was some species OF
the Sequoia-the giant tree of Cali
fornia.
The exact locality from which the
specimen was taken is n point distant
about twenty four miles from Hol-
brook, Apache county, Arizona. Here
is an area of over one thousand acres
worn away by the action of the ele-
ments into innumerable gullies and
gulches, in every one of which are
the petriiied remains of hundreds OF
trees of all ages and sizes, some lying
rs if they had never been disturbed
since the day when they fell, Others
looking as if n wood-chopper had been
at work and had cut them into con
venient blocks preparatory to carrying
them away,
From this wonderful stone forest the
big fossilvree section was taken. From
Holbrook i. was shipped by rail to
Sioux Falls, Dakota, the only place in
the United States where the polishing
of such hard and large piece of rock
| could be undertaken. Here the work
was done, the result being the largest
piece of polished siliclied wood known.
Although no definite price has been
fixed upon the specimen, it is believed
1 to be worth something over $1,000.

the State now Is but twelve bushels.
1t costs 90 to raise an acre of wheat
Where is the profit? The history OF
wheat farming in other portions of the
country is this: The prairie lands. the
first year they are broken, will yield
twenty bushels. This, perhaps, pays
for the farm. The second year it is n
little better. This pays for the ma
chinery and buildings. The third year
it falls off somewhat. The fourth year
is still worse. The sanguine farmer
says, "Well, this is bad year," and
tries it again. 1t is still worse. and so
on till the farms are actually mort
gagged for the living representatives

Two Pictures of Farm Life.
THE OLD HOME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE


have just returned from briei
visit to my old home among the noun
tains and granite hillsides of New
Hampshire. The average farm in that
country is say 100 acres, of which, per-
haps, fifteen to twenty acres may be
called, in q sense, arrable. On the old
homestead which | visited / found
growing say one-half acre of oats,
three. quarters of an acre of corn, one
quarter 10 one-half acre Of wheat, a
few potatoes, and n small garden. Not
to exceed twenty acres had been mown
and the hay nicely stored in the barn.
The buildings Were in excellent repair
and both inside and outside were as
neat as could be desired. In the wood
shed | noticed nicely stored away n
years supply of fuel. The man who
now owns the place did not inherit it,
nor, If remember rightly, any other
farm. The farm is fair sample of
the average in that township, twelve
miles from the nearest railway station,
and no manufacturing village in the
vicinity. 1t is purely an agricultural
district and not considered by any
means first class even in that State.
There are no mortgages on those farms
and almost every proprietor has some
little money at interest.
THE NEW HOME IN THE WHEAT BELT.
The world is led TO believe that the
wheat capacity of the Northwest is in
exhaustible. The fact is that northern
Minnesota and Dakota are pass
ing through the same state that
southern Minnesota and Iowa have
suffered; whereas the averag,, wheat
yield used to be twenty bushels in the
Red River valley, the average yield of

so Alice Ardley and Marius Gray

Salt Lake, Americas Great Dead Sea
is mysterious, because covering rs il
does $500 square miles with AN aver
age depths of forty feet. no man has
yet found its outlet. Fresh streams
pour into it from all sides, and yet to-
day it is briny rs when first discovered.
1t is one fifth pure salt, and so dense is
it that it is impossible to sink in it. 1t
has puzzled scientists from all quar-
ters of the globe to tell what becomes
of the water that constantly flows into
its capacious nav, and while some
have given as n solution the possibility
of n subterranean outlet, and some
have accounted for its disappearance
by solar evaporation, no absolute salts
factory theory has yet been assigned
for the lake maintaining its average
volume since its first discovery.
Strange to relate, while there is no
outlet to this saline mass there is yet
n strong current found III two places.
Old seamen who have nayigated the
lake for years have always held to- the
theory that this was the fastest water in
the world for rowing, for two reasons.
One of these was that the water being
so buoyant q boat would naturally float
higher and therefore displace less wa
ter; and the other, that the water be-
ing so dense the blade of the oar neces-
sarily had much more purchase because
of the great resistance of the heavy
water. 1t is further argued that the
greater the speed of the boat the less
the displacement, and hence the faster
ought to be the time made in covering
q certain distance One of the pecu-
liarities of the lake is its proneness to
sudden and totally unexpected storms
On the clearest possible day, when not
a cloud can be seen overhead and the
sun is shining brightly, squall is liza
BILE to rise on the water, and the wind
has been known under these circum-
stances to blow ut the rate of sixty
miles an hour. These winds come
from the mountain tops and hillsides
which are only few miles to the east
ward. Sometimes they rush down the
narrow canons, and, stealing silently
across the plains between the noun
tains and water, spend their force on
n current of air coming across the lake
from the north. At the point of con-
tact the storm will be terrific, and
then there is great danger to unsea-
worthy vessels.

The French superstition about luck
attaching to the rope with which n
man or woman has been hanged has
just been sadly belied in the case of a
commissionaire living in the Rue
Baudelquc, at Montmartrc. He had
for some time been the happy possessor
of bit of the coveted rope. Much
thinking of his treasure made him NOR
bid. Whenever he looked ut it he re-
membered the dreadful face of the
young girl whom he had cut down in
neighbor's house one morning. At
last the fixed idea became unbearahle.
He got his rope out, tied it to a hook
and hanged himself.
