interesting series OF methods and plans
ior me restoration OF waste lands, and
particularly for the transformation of
oaireh mountain sides into fertile farms,
W means OF terraces, rising one above
another. a lofty aud barren mountain
may by these methods, be changed into
beautiful and fertile pyramid, enclr-
eleu ty scores of belts OF narrow, green
heius, WSteEed from reservoirs placed
near the summit.
Thus the waste aud lonely mountain
may become tue home OF numerous
population. In short, an entire great
range Ike tie Allepbeniee, with hum.
dreds ON hundreds ot peaks, can be con-

Those persons who, with DR.. Nautilus.
have feared that the earth NAV become

these products can be readily exchange

A Letter Carriers Walk.

Ihave often been asked to explain how a let
Tor carrier walks along, apparently with ease,
at rapid gait over slippery ground, and runs
ap and down icy front steps, while other
.oiks are barely able to keep their footing
Ghile they creep along in rubbers or with a
set Of those steel prong nuisances fastened to
their shoes. The carriers soon learn to walk
over slippery places without falling because
we have SO much of it to do, and experience
has taught us how we should handle our bod
les and legs when on dangerous ground.
When passing over sleety places we don't
walk erect, but bend forward, taking short
steps and never letting one foot get far away
from the other. Then, when we step, the
foot is put down solidly, all of it at once, on
the ground, with no heel and toe movement,
which leads to slips and falls. Its not grace
full, this way of walking, but it's safe, and 7
can pass any ordinary pedestrian on a slip
pery day and be in no danger of falling.
while he is constantly slipping. Carrier In

The Immortal Texan.

Sam Houston was not rendered so cynical
by his first unfortunate venture as to render
him unfit for married life, as his more than
ffty years of unailoyed happiness in that re-
lation amply demonstrates He not only
married after becoming citizen Of the re-
public of Texas, but was devoted husband
and judicious father, dying in the midst of
-ais family in 1862. One of his sons inherited
considerable share of the fathers sturdi-
ness and talents.
To illustrate Houston's devotion to his
second and real wife, the following incident
was related to the writer of this by an old
Washington habitue and journalist, who
knew him well during his senatorship-
1859 Houston was knoW to be intensely
fond of amusements, but no friends could in
luce him to attend the theatre, circus or a
public ball Being rallied on his Puritan
.n" by Mr.. Clay, the old hero of San ia
into quietly replied: 81 am not personally
f opinion that there is anything wrong in
hose recreations; but my wife is deeply re-
igious woman; she is most strenuously OPP
posed to the theatre, etc, and though she has
never even limited that she would rather I
should avoid such places, yet, knowing her
sentiments, think my foregoing SO momen-
tary pleasure but small cross for me to
bear to insure her more perfect happiness. -
