The Southern Pacific company is re-
laying twelve miles of track on the
California Pacific division, between
Sulsan and Sacramento, with seventy
pound steel rail. The old rails will be
used on some of the valley lines, where
heavy engines are not necessary. The
steel rails used in this restriction are
the heaviest in use anywhere this side
of the Missouri river.

r. j. Hinton cites what has been ac-
compished in the reclamation of the
Sahara by means of artesian wells, as
an example OF what might possibly be
done toward that end in the West.
Cultivation by means Of flowing well
waters has been sedulously fostered by
the French Colonial government in
Algeria for both political and eco
nomicreasons since 1857, The total
number Of wells bored since then is
stated at 1876, ranging from IS to
400 feet in depth. About 1900, 600
acres have been reclaimed in this way.

After a short season of society Miss
Katherine Isabel Deane became Mrs.
Michael H. de Young when only eight

The Dignity of Death.

Here lies a common man. His horny hands,
Crossed, meekly as a maids, upon his breast,
Show marks Of toll, and by his general dress
You judge him to have been an artisan.
Doubtless, could all his life be written out,
The story would not thrill, nor start a tear.
He worked, laughed, loved and suffered in his
time,
And now rests peacefully, with upturned face
Whose look bellies all struggle in the past.
A homely tale; yet, trust me, have seen
The greatest of the earth go stately by,
While shouting multitudes beset the way
With less OF awe. The gap between a king
And me, a nameless gazer in the crowd
Seemed not 50 wide as that which stretches
now
Betwixt US two-this dead one and myself
UNTITLED dumb and deedless, yet he is
TRANSPORTED by a touch from out the skies
Until he wears, with all unconscious grace,
The strange and sudden Dignity of Death

Unforgotten.

As some sweet scrap of an old poem strays
Back from oblivion and gladdens me,
So steals upon my heart the memory
OF you and the old days.
An echo echoes back a song unheard,
Telling unwritten romances to me;
Idylls unsyllabled in poetry.
OF dates uncalendared.
A-maytime lilac blooms and hum of bees,
And birds and breezes' myriad carolings,
And all the springtimes fugitive sweet
things.
Commingiing ecstaSies
That once we shared, but ne'er again shall
know,
Save in the vague. mysterious realm of
dreams,
Where heart keeps sacred tryst with heart,
and seems
Threading the long ago,
Today know not where your footsteps wend;
The world is large; our ways, meandering
However OBVIOUSLY, yet never bring
Our paths to the same end
Where'er you face your way winds to the
heights
Beyond my reach; keep the valley path,
And CLEAN the sweet late summers aftermath,
Fragrant with dear delights
ering;
You, who must win upon your upland ways
a hero's laurels and poets lays;
Yet, while try to sing,
] wonder if, perchance, some hedgling song
OF mine may, one day, iuttering TREMENDOUSLY,
Marble in love spun Lays ecstatically
The words unvoiced so long,
And reach your heart, like dove messenger,
And rouse regret and waken memory
That song should be my dearest song to me,
My hearts interpreter.
Sometimes think OF you as one who passed
Beyond the shadows to a bourne unknown,
And then dream you are my very own,
MY very own at last
in the dream realm there are no laws, forsooth,
And happily, lest in some wilding mood
The Yagrant dreamer should o'erbend its
CODE
Or break 1t without ruth.
But from the trysting place in fairy lands,
The dreamer's yearning heart no trophy
brings
Not cen the memory of kiss that clings,
Or touch of loving hands.
And so joy in thus remembering yet,
And sending after you this raveled strand
OF song, half honey sweet with memory and
Hall bitter with regret.

Youth and Age.

When all the world is young, lad, and all the

And every goose a swan, lad, and every lass a

Then hey for boot and horse, lad, and ride the

Young blood must have its course, lad. and
every dog his day.
When all the world is old. lad. and all the trees

Among other things she says of him: A
young man has of late been hailed as a fine

Especial Correspondence
LONDON, June 30.-Three entire days
were consumed during the last week of
February by an imperial commissioner
and four delegates from the ministry Of
finance at Pesth in counting the vast
amount of coin and securities accumu-
lated by the late cardinal primate of
Hungary IN his magnificent palace at
Grau.
This, together with the discovery that
he had lodged in the Bank of Eng
land a sum of $12, 900, 900, destined to
assure an income of $500, 900 year to his
successors in the Hungarian primacy in
the event of sequestration of its revenues
resulting from conflict between church
and state, attracted the attention of the
world to the glaring discrepancy be-
tween the almost fabulous riches of some
prelates and the almost sordid poverty
Of others. The whole of the wealth of
the late cardinal was acquired during
his tenure of the Magyar primacy, for
he was the son of a poor village cobbler,
and when | visited him at Grau some
years ago, on my way to Egypt, found
that his venerable old mother, the shoe
makers widow, was living with him in
his palace. Her peasant garb and lowly
appearance contrasted strangely with
the magnificence of her sons surround
ings. His household was on an alto
gether royal scale-monsignori, cham
berlains, secretaries, masters of the cere-
monies, chaplains, equerries and gentle
men-in-waiting, the latter all of aristo-
cratic birth and gorgeously arrayed,
thronged the antechambers of the cob

MIR. AND MRS. PARNELL.

Mr.. Parnell put Captain O'Shea forward
in 1885 as member for Galway, and then
other leading Nationalist alleged that
this support was 1.-The price of Captain
OShea's connivance." The public soon
learned that there had been much scan
dial in the inner circles, that Parnell and
the captain had quarreled and made it
up again, and that the guilty pair were
growing reckless.
The rest is current history. Captain
O'Shea brought suit for divorce in De-
cember, 1899, and while the testimony
adduced was far from creditable to him
it seemed at first utterly damning to
Parnell. The divorce was granted as a
matter of course, with control of the
three children secured to Captain O'Shea,
but that matter was compromised in a
way agreeable to the mother. Mr.. Par
nell then began that hot and bitter fight
to hold his own with the Home Rule
party, which is still in progress, and has
done all he could to undo his wrong by
marrying Mrs O'Shea. 1t is their de-
clared intention to have a religious cere-
mony performed at an early day, as their
marriage at Steyning was purely civil
affair, and that does not satisfy certain
element.

A Tennis Costume.

Buy ten yards of outing cloth at
twelve cents a yard. If you like stripes,
choose one of the pretty combinations
of soft blues, pinks, grays and creams;
but if you prefer you can get the cloth
this season in solid color. If you
have a supply of silk shirts and a good
blazer you will not need more than
seven yards. Have full round short
skirt, the draperies being as plain and
straight as possible. If you cannot af-
ford silk shirts make shirt of the out,
ing cloth on the model of the silk shirts
sold in the stores, with turnover collar
and lacings in front of bright cord.
Get leather belt, if you have a slim
figure, to match in color your tennis
shoes; or get silk waist scarf or sash,
knotting it in convenient position al
one side without passing about the
waist, if you are not slim Get two OF
three silk scarfs to knot into pretty ties
at your throat, and then you will be
fixed, except as to shoes
Your tennis Shoes if they are good
| ones, will cost about three dollars, and
you can tie them mp with cords of tbs
color of your sash and the bright stripe
of your gown.
Then there is the haiti was nearly

Dies of different sizes are used, into
which the metal, whether gold, silver
or steel, is pressed. The hole punch
ing, finishing, polishing and tempering
are done afterward Celluloid and
rubber are nodded. The best thimbles
are made in France, where the process
is more thorough.
The first step in the making of a
Paris gold thimble is the cutting into
a disk of the desired size a thin piece OF
sheet iron. This is brought to red
heat, placed over graduated hole in
an iron bench and hammered down
into it with a punch This hole is the
form of the thimble. The iron takes
its shape and is removed from the hole
The little indentations to keep the
needle from slipping are made in it,
and all the other finishing strokes OF
the perfect thimble put on it. The iron
is then made into steel by a process pc
cuiiar to the French thimble maker
and is tempered, polished and brought
to deep blue color A thin sheet Of
gold is then pressed into the interior OF
the thimble and fastened there by q
mandril.
Gold leaf is attached to the outside
by great pressure, the edges of the lea1
being fitted in and held by small
grooves at the base of the thimble
The article is then ready for use The
gold will last for years. The stee
never wears out, and the gold can be
readily replaced at any time. New

1t has long been said that whosoever
shall invent means to make the hair
grow on the heads of bald men will
make fortune beside which the mil
lions of all other patent medicine pro-
prietors will pale into littleness. Per-
haps barber has hit upon the plan for
solving the problem and making the
fortune.
He says that the recent successful ex-
periments in skin grating reveal sim
pie manner in which any bald man may
get full head OF hair. There need be
no pain during the process, because the
use of ane5thetics will overcome the
hurt Of the surgeons knife in removing
the bald scalp All that the candidate
for new head of hair must endure will
be stay of two or three weeks indoors
while the new scalp is growing in place.
As to the question whether the new
scalps must come from dead men or live
men, the barblr suggests that this will
be merely a question Of expense, for
plenty of poor men will gladly sell Their
scalps if they can find purchasers. New
