There was q fountain, and around
Flowers and grass made happy ground;
And tall trees kept it cool and clear,
No cruel beast or bird came near;
And never leaf or blossom fell
To mar that wonderful bright well
Here many a slumbrous summer day
Naicissus came, and as he lay
Among the flowers and cool green grass,

A beautiful gold-clustered head
A bright young face of white and red,
Which, when he smiled, smiled back, and
when
He fell a weeping, wept again
Often he leaned and sought to kiss
The sweet mouth lifted up to his
And often tried TO clasp and draw
Within his arms the shape he saw.

THE STREET CAR HOG.
There are Times When the Porker Does
Not Wear Trousers.

From the Washington Post
The street car hog is as various as the
human race. Sometimes the hog has its
own way and sometimes it doesn't 1t was

woman, with a square chin and strident
voice, gets in with couple of friends.
She fills the only vacant space. To a
quiet, unassuming gentleman next her she

Sir, will you kindly get me package
of tickets ~
He pulls out of the seat into which she
had wedged him to get the tickets She
slides along, her party squirlns IN, and in
a second the space the gentleman vacated
is fuller than ever. The gentleman re-
turns with the tickets and asks:
How many out ?"
To which madame replies, with an air
of concealed triumph:
"None!m
And takes the package. Everybody
"catches on" and smiles or frowns, as each
considers it joke or put up job
The gentleman fails to catch the drift of
the merriment. seemingly, but hooks on to
strap as if it were all right. Suddenly
he feels in one pocket, then in another,
and then remarks:
Pardon me, madam, but think you are
sitting on something that is mine"

he may get it. He slips into the vacated

The cigarette habit is fourishing tre-
mendously in Austria. The number of
cigars smoked in that country during the
past year was 1885, 100000, showing re-
duction of 100000 on the previous year.
On the other hand the consumption of
cigarettes rose to S95,000,0O0, or an in
crease of 174,000,O00. The quantity of to-
bacco sold by the Government, which mo-
nopolizes the market, has neither increased
nor diminished, though the consumption
of stuff is steadily declining Cigarette
smokers in Austria take the ready made

The houses of ancient Rome, previous
to the war Of Pyrrhus, were covered with
boards, but afterward with tiles; and ac-
cording to Vitruvius and from what re-
mains of ancient monuments these must
have been of large size, not less than two
feet broad. Seneca speaks of garret COW
cred with single tile. In the war against
Marc Antony the Senators were taxed at
the rate Of ten asses (about % cents) for
every tile on their roof; hence it was, of
course desirable to have tiles of as large
dimensions as possible, thus reducing the
amount of the taxes.

A depression has been discovered in the
Egyptian desert which is all that remains
of a reservoir constructed by the Patriarch
Joseph for irrigating purposes when he
was Pharoah's Prime Minister. 1t is pro-

this would add 100000 acres to the

workers were out ag lin Friday night

otherwise working great annoyance.

and keep them in doors or make

STILL THEY BLAST.-The work
of blasting off the top of the pier
that was to have been for a bridge
over the Willamette at this place is
slowly but definitely being carried
on. 1t will soon be down to the
level Of the old stub ot the cylin-
der pier which yet remains as a
remnant OF the first bridge. The
attraction is growing less and the in-
dignation and contempt stronger
every day. The few who now go
down to the old wreck soon become
disgusted with such plan for a
bridge. The contempt aud derisiou
uttered by the business men and
those who stop for moment on the
bank of the river is enough to dis.
courage the workmen who are paid
to tear it down. What develop
ments will yet appear can only be
conjectured.

well stand few yards to one side OF
the other. 1t is not known who IL
to blame for this 0ffense. but Ger
tainly those who leave the cars there
should have some respect for the
rights of those who may chance tu
pass, or rather desire to pass, OH tn.

venience and benefit OF having II
railroad to the city, and We want
more of them, but even our CREATES,
