Some Pretty Compliments.

When the great Duke of Yelling
ton said "he always slept well when
Stapleton Cotton was on guard" he
paid a sterling compliment which must
have gratifed that officer--if he heard
it-as much as promotion in rank
would have done.
A little absurdity about a compli-

lover is reported to have said to his
mistress: Lend me your eyes; want

Mrs. Moore, the wife OF the poet,
was noted for her benevolence to the
poor in the vicinity of their country
residence. On one occasion a guest
remarked: Il take it for granted that
no one is dying in our neighborhood,
or weshould not be favored with Mrs
Moore's company"
Not long ago, when brief matri
monial engagement was broken off, a
near relation of the gentleman, one
who fully appreciated the high quail

lover was sundered, said to the young
lady: You have only lost an ideal ;

While in southern California I
found that there were many men work
ing singly in placer mines under most
adverse circumstances, and obtaining
very small remuneration for their toll.
Some of them succeeded in washing
out but 50 or 50 worth of gold dust per
day, while few of them occasionally
washed out as high as SO worth per
day. Many of them remain a very
short time in the diggings, but others
work away year after year in the hope
of striking it rich some day.-St. Louis

Some Uses of Artificial Cold.

1t seems very probable that the day
is not far distant when brine, cooled
below the freezing point Of water, will
be carried under the streets in pipes, as
steam is now, supplying from central
stations very convenient substitute
for ice in the domestic household. By
freezing in our own houses water
which has been previously boiled, it
will then be possible for us to avoid
contagion from diseased germs con-
tanned in ice gathered from impure
sources. The maintenance of dwell
ings at 70 degs. Fahrenheit throughout
the summer will then be as much a
matter of course as the warming of a
modern house now is in winter
