TOMORROW.

Mad for Joy IN the sunshiny sky,
The larks were singing sweet and loud;
Silent the white clouds glistened on high,
And the sea CLEANED far away like cloud.
Brown bees were humming amongst the
brown
And ruby wallBowers; straight and tall
The lily lifted it's silver crown;
The tulips laughed by the mossy wall.
True lovers-a girl and boy--we strayed
Down the alleys green, with Love for
third,
While dreamily mournful the fountain
played,
Singing a song that we never heard
"Be ye as hopeful and blithe as ye may;
Tomorrow keeps never the bloom of to-
dsyr
The larks are silent, the sky is gray,
The SEQ is hid in a chilly shroud;
The blossoms that opened yesterday
Lie torn on the grass in pallid crowd.
The ruby wallhowers droop in the rain;
The lily has soiled her silver crown;
The tulips hid by the wall in vain
The pitiless wind beat their glory down.
How changed is the world in few short
hours
All life. how changed Now walk alone
And hear, while the deathful tempest lours,
The fountain sing as my heart makes
moan
BE ye as hopeful and blthe as We may;
Tomorrow keeps never the bloom of TO-
dayF'

According to the Boston CultiUdtOr the
scalskin buffalo made by crossing polled
Aberdeen cattle on the wild stock, have
a fine, glossy fur, as beautiful as that of
the seal, and much thicker. The hump
on the buffalo almost entirely disappears
on this cross, and with it the shaggy
name for which buffsloes have always
been noted. There are now twelve Of
these sealed buffalo, and the cross promises
to become successful and valuable
breed. They lose their wild traits and
become so easily domesticated as are our
common cattle under like circumstances.
The Hudson's Bay Fur Company is Civ
ing up business because furs are no longer
to be had, and the sealsNin buffalo, many
of which show fur marked like tiger,
vii doubtless become valuable product
in porthern climes, where the winters are
too cold for the common breeds of cattle
to succeed.

Tattooing is by no means confined to
the Polynesians, but this "dermal art" is
certainly carried by them to extent which
is unequaled by any other people. 1t
pervades all the principal groups OF
islands, and is practiced by all classes,
though to a greater extent by the Mar
quesans and New Zealanders than any
other. BY the vast number of them it is
adopted simply as personal ornament,
though there are some grounds for be.
lieying that tattoo may, IN few cases
and to a small extent, be looked upon as
badge of mourning or "A memento of
departed fr' ID. Like everything else
in Polynesia, its origin is related in a le-
gend, which credits its invention TO the
gods aud says it was first practiced by
the children OF Taaroa, their principal
deity.
The sons of Taaroa and Apouvaru were
the gods of tattooing, and their images
were kept in the temples of those who
practiced the art as a profession, and to
them petitions are offered that the figures
might be handsome, attract attention and
otherwise accomplish the ends for which
they submitted themselves to this painful
operation. The coloring matter was the
charcoal of the candlenut mixed with oil,
and the instrument used was a needle
made of fish bone, and a thread which
was drawn through the skin, after which
puncturing the black coloring matter was
injected with instruments made for the
purpose. To show any signs of suffering
under the operation is looked upon as
disgraceful, and accordingly, in some of
the islands, while the operation is going
on the young man undergoing it will lay
his head on the lap of his sister or some
young relation, while number OF female
friends will keep up a song, so as to
drown the murmuring which the torture
may draw from him inadvertently, and
that, therefore, he may not be demeaned
in the eyes of his countrymen who are
present as spectators.-C Chicago Herald.

Origin of the Term ~Masher.

The word masher is sometimes said to
be a corruption of the French ma cherie.
But this is one of the many instances Of
an ingenious etymology whose surface
plausibility imposes on the unscholarly.
Far more likely is the derivation from
the Gypsy word mashaya, to fasoinate 10y
the eye. Charles G. Leland, in "Ihe
Gypsies," " credits this etymology "And
thus it was, he says page lOS), that
these black-eyed beauties, Wy mashing
men for many generations, 18th shafts
shot sideways and most wantonly, at last
sealed their souls into the corner of their
eyes, as you have heard before, " And

The Chicago Herald narrates that
an employe of the Louisville s. Texas
Railroad at Hawesville, Ky, dreamed that
a switch was misplaced, and that fast
train was due. He awoke so deeply i'm
pressed with the vision that he went out
TO the switch at once to see if all were
safe. He found it misplaced, as he had
dreamed. A fast train was nearly due,
which, with the switch as he found it,
would have crashed into a train on the
sidetrack IN which sixty men were asleep.
The incident Is of interest to hypnotists
and dream student perhaps, but it
throws no new light on the miSDlaced-
switch question. Passengers, as a rule,
would still prefer to trust to the man
that is wide awake rather than to theman
that dreams. The Hawesville mans
dream was opportune and truthful this
time, to be sure, but he is just as likely
some other time to dream that the switch
is all right when really it is all wrong.

LONG AGO

once knew all the birds that ca1ne
And nested in our orchard trees,
For every flower had a name
My friends were woodchucks toads and
bees:
knew where thrived in yonder glen
What plants would soothe a stone-bruised
toe
Oh, was very learned then,
But that was very long ago.
! knew the spot upon the hill
Where checkerberries could be found,
Iknew the rushes near the mill
Where pickgrel lay that weighed pound
I knew the wood-the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And ali the woods and crows knew me-
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth,
l tread the old familiar spot
Only TO learn this solemn truth;
have forgotten, am forgot.
Yet here's this youugster at my knee
Knows all the things ] used to know;
To think once was wise as he
But that was very long ago.
l know it's folly to complain
Of whatsoeer the fates decree.
Yet, were not wishes all in vain,
tell you what my wish should be:
I'd wish to be boy again,
Back with the friends used TO know,
For was, oh, so happy then
But that was very long ago.

Bologna sausages of the best kind are
composed of bacon and pea -four, chiefly
favored with garlic and cloves. And
when the bacon is old, but sound, such
sausages arc both highly nutritious and
wholesome aud possessed of excellent
keeping qualities, well adapted to their
most extensive use by laborers, travellers,
soldiers in camp and others who have
not the means of cooking at hand. They
rarely spoil, but being partaken of with
out cooking, there is some danger of
trichina-the more if the hogs from which
the bacon was made were fed on garbage
and the bacon was not well cured before
it'was used.-lSamdritan

China Clay.

The porcelain clays of China differ
from those of Europe in containing a
large percentage of white mica, or, as it is
called, "muscovite." According to a re-
cent analysis of NJ. Georges Vogt, the
"yeouko" clay, fusible sort, used for
glaze, consists of 52.9 parts of quartz,
i31.3 parts of muscovite, 13.4 of soda
felspar, 2 of carbonate OF lime and / of
'hydrated silica. Petun-tse clay contains
no less than 4O.6 per cent. of muscovite,
which indeed is a common ingredient Of
the soil In the FlOwery Land. Its pres
Ience in porcelain elays evidently helps TO
account for their translueency. QasseWa.

For the benefit of readers who do not
reside on tue Pacific coast. the Posr-INrEI~
IseKscxR presents today some facts about
the climate and the meteorology of West
ern aud OF Eastern Washington. The
average Eastern man cannot believe that
the climate OF this state can be mild, be-
cause when he looks over the map OF the
United states he sees that Washington is
in the saue latitude as Northern New
York, Minnesota and Dakota and bis
natural inference is that the same ex-
trentes OF temperature exist here. This Is
entirely erroneous. The mildneSs ct the
temperature of the Puget sound basin and
Western Washington generally is due To
the influence Of the Kstgo Saiao, or Japan

ward from the equator aiong the japanese

Probably the most gratifying feature in
the remarkable growth of the banking bas-
iTaess during the year Is the fact that il was

deposits and in loans OF course
the greatest actual as well as the
greatest proportionate growth has been in
the banks of the three leading cities, Seat

withstanding the establishment OF new
banks which maze strong and successful
efforts TO gain Roadway, the business OF the
old banks grew more rapidly than in lsss.
The banks ina the agricultural region OF
Eastern Washington show a handsome
increase. but the table is proof that the
large capital which has been pouring in
from the East has come 10 great extent
to Puget sound.
Another remarkable feature Of the banks
which can not be shown except by table
too cumbersome, IS the fact that their bus
mess has been of steady growth. That is

with none OF the banks vas there diminu-

These facts may be deduced: Immigra-
ton has been steady throughout the year
the influx OF Eastern capital likewise;
mercantile business has been steadily good
and the volume transacted has increased
day by day
IL may be added further that the banking
capital has been equal 20 the legitimate
demands Of trade, ard that the business
has been conducted on conservative lines.
