Happy Miners.

One would not think there could be any
thing very attractive about an occupation
which keeps Il person day after day shut
away from the sunshine deep down In the
earth. But the miners in the quicksilver
mines Of New Almadcn, Cal, manifest q
special attachment for their work; they
are 10th to leave it, even for better pay,
and return most gladly to the picturesque
hamlet which overlooks the beautiful val
ley of Santa Clara. There are many Cor
nishmen among them, most faithful and
persistent people; but the Spanish Ameri-
cans are scarcely less attached to the place
than the men from Cornwall
One of these "Spaniards, as they are
called, went away from New Almaden on
prospecting trip in the silver Sierras.
He returned to the Santa Cruz mountains.
full of JOY that the superintendent of the
mines gave him his old place There were
tears i'll Jose's eyes as he thanked his en-
ployer.
"Ah, sir" said he "to dig for silver
might make man rich, but it is in quick
silver alone he can find happinessp'
TO one Of his Cornish fellow workmen
he said at the close of his first days work:
ITS like being in heaven to be down in
this blessed ground again"
And the literal minded Cornishman was
moved to reply with a touch of sentiment:
well, there be bluer heavens above this
ground than anywhere short of the blessed
land, that's true for you, Jose. Youths

As rule however, it must be noted
that American ladies dress charmingly and
with taste. The points in which they are
apt to show weakness are those pertaining
to bonnets and shoes. They do not seem
to appreciate the delieacy of taste in de.
sign and the artistic finish of execution
that characterize the best specimens of
Partisan millinery. They will crown a
costume from Worth's with SIS hat from
the Bon Marche, and will never compre.
bend the incongruity, They will wear
black leather boots with white dinner
dresses and console themselves for what
they vaguely understand are inappropriate
adJunets by rejecting that, after all, their
feet will be hidden under the dinner tables
This is all the more singular as they are
very particular in the matter of gloves,
and the small American foot, always the
admiration of European observers, surely
deserves better treatment and more careful
and advantageous setting off, -- Lucy
Hooper in St Louis Post Dispatch.

An Efficient Eye Wash.

Irritable eyes, due to strains, dust, cold,
and variety of other causes, are quite
common. Among the domestic remedies
which are the most popular are applications
of warm milk, tea, sassafras, pith water,
etc Borax and camphor water, an agree
able and efficient remedy, has long been
used by physicians. An eye wash, very
nearly, if not quite, as serviceable, can be
made by adding one drachm of the crystals
of boracic acid to a pint of soft, boiled
water This should be boiled and kept in a
cool place, Three or four times a day half
cupful of the solution should be heated,
and the eyes bathed with it as hot as can
be borne
Apropos of this, people will do well to re-
member the fact that some kinds of sore
eyes are highly contagious. And the in.
fictitious poisons, not being easily killed, are
often transmitted from one person to an
other on towels, wash basins, etc, used in
common. Probably all know that skin
diseases are often conveyed in that way,
but few, however, can know that the same
is true with diseases of the eyes, which are
much more to he feared. Toronto Globe.

his courage and patriotism, and a

Mr.. Taylor is an honored citizen at

but should Mr.. Taylor receive the

him warm and enthusiastic sup
