Chinese Floating Gardens

In the month of April a bamboo raft, 10 to
IL feet long and about half as broad, is pre-
pared. The poles are dashed together with
nterstices of an inch between each. Over
this layer of straw an inch thick is spread,
and then a coating two inches thick of adhe-
sive mud, taken from the bottom of canal
or pond, which receives the seed The raft
is moored to the bank in still water, and re-
quires no further attention. The straw soon
gives way and the soil also, the roots draw
ing support from the water alone In about
twenty days the raft becomes covered with
the creeper dpomea reptams), and its stems
and roots are gathered for cooking In
autumn its small white petals and yellow
stamens, nesting among the round leaves,
present q very pretty appearance. In some
places marshy land is proftably cultivated
in this manner.
Besides these floating vegetable gardens
there are also floating rice fields. Upon RATS
constructed as above weeds and adherent
mud were placed as q flooring, and when the
rice shoots were ready for TRANSFORMING they
were placed in the floating soil, which, being
adhesive and held in place by weed roots, the
plants were maintained in position through
out the season. The rice thus planted lipenetl
in from sixty to seventy in place of one hun
dred days. The RATS are cabled to the shore,
floating on lakes, pools or sluggish streams.
These floating fields served to avert famnes,
whether by drought Or flood When other
fields were submerged and their crops sodden
or rotten these aoated and foHrished and
when a drought prevailed they subsidized with
the falling water and while the soil around
was arid advanced to maturity. Agricultural
treatises contain plates representing rows of

formerly in the lacustrine regions of the

HOSE WnlNkLED HANDS.

Those wrinkled hands that DER a woman's breast
Now folded lie in deaths last solemn Sleep
Alas. how cold and STILL but God knows best;
His time will choose; while we in silence weep
Who had by those dear hands been often best
But now shall miss the love that flowed so deep
No more shall we enjoy their soft caress.
Nor feel again their cnging tenderness.
In those lines where the pillow of time has run,
And heaped with burrows deep the trace of years
The marks of toll, the change of shade and sun,
The record of a heightened life appears;
Many tale they tell of joys begun
And hope soon ended in dash of tears.
Those veins of blue her sunny skies unrolI,
That skin so fair the whteness of her soul.
But lol as we read on what sight is this?
A cherub form with dimpled hands and small
Bright golden locks and lips that tempt kiss,
Like paintings seen old cathedral wall;
Some angel sent from distant worlds of bliss
That sunbeams bring to this dim earthly ball.
Again we look, laughing girl is seen
To school she skips or romps in orchards green.
Ip these oddly fashioned lines next we trace
The vision of maiden sweet and fair;
By garden gate she waits; upon her face
Rests lights rosy tinge, as if gathered there
The crimson blush of thousand mornings grace;
Or is it that glow of bliss beyond compare,
Aught else that loves warm thrill, as there sht
stands,
Holding in her another's tender hands?
Lfe's busy noon unfolds and what bcfeiI
In sober age how hands now pale and cold
Were moved to kindly acts, oft strove to.quell
A neighbours grief, and wipe the gathering mok
OF death from aching brows. Sickbeds tell:
And poor their sanity deeds confess with old
Then rest sweet hands, with scars of battle won,
Like folded banners when the day is done

NUICK sales is the standard
~ by which we measure the
success of a line of goods. What
sells succeeds, and what sue

creates its own demand finds
its own market, and obtains its

lowest prices win the day, and
they do it by forceaof their
own. No dealer is driven to the
task of working up a boom for
goods whose merit is apparent
at first sight, and whose reputa-

only to add that our prices are

STRANGE AFFAIR AT SUPERIOR.
A Masked Man Attempts to XIII "a Pretty
AIiiiiner of the CITY.

At Superior, Wis, on the evening Of
the 9th, at $50, most desperate at
tempt was made to murder Miss Maggie
Welter. She Is a pretty young dress
maker, and conducts dress making
shop in Keough's building. On going
TO supper, she was met in the hall
by a masked man. She thought he was
going up stairs on business and passed
on. When within few feet of him. she
discovered that he was masked. She
drew back, but was too late. He sprang
upon her, exclaiming Now I'll have my
revenge" and struck at her with dag
ger. The girl, who is quick and strong
knocked off the blow that otherwise
would have pierced her heart. As she
was turning to escape, he struck again,
cutting an artery OF her arm. Her cries
now so alarmed the assassin that he fled.
The girl IS of good family and no cause
for the attack is known. Some advance
the theory that it was rejected
lover. Three or four weeks ago highly
defamatory stories were circulated about
the girl, but the tales had no weight. 1t
Is thought that the originator and the
assassin are the same person. 4 dis
patch of the 9th SAYS: "Citizens are
greatly excited about the affair and
about 300 men are now looking for the
assailant. Should he be caught there
may be lvnching bee"

by j. +. Jenner u Co., wholesale MILL
ners. When the fire department
reached the scene the fire had gained
great Roadway and the telegraph wires
in front prevented for time
successful work by the men.
In a short time the entire
interior of the building was in
flames, and the men devoted their eff
iorts to preventing the obstruction
Of other property. When the
flames had been partially driven
back q number of fremen left
their ladders and stepped through
the windows to follow up at close quar-
tiers the advantage gained. Most of
these men were on the fourth floor,
which appeared to be perfectly
safe. and they had no thought
of danger. Suddenly the 1oor
gave way, precipitating ten men to the
basement, where hey were pinned
down by the wreck Until released by
their comrades and the police.
In the meantime the flames were
practically subdued and no injuries from
burning are recorded. Nine men were
more or less seriously hurt by the fall OF

taken out of the ruins dead.
