MY NElGHBOR.

My neighbor is sad and silent as she waits ON
the shore with me
For the ships that went out hope laden. assail
on summer sea;
The days into months have drifted. until cour
age and patience fail
Not yet have our eyes been gladdened by the
sight of a sunlit sail
And l must not offer to carry the burden her
weak arms bear;
The weight that my hands are lifting she may
not offer to share.
When pitiless storms sweep shoreward and
skies wear mask of lead,
Then must not offer her comfort or shelter
her helpless head.
And |, too, look YEARLY seward: | know we
are one in heart.
We pare the wet sands together, but in speech
keep ever apart;
For never speak to mr. neighbor-and she
may not speak to me
Or the ships that we wait together by the shore
OF the sobbing sea.
But l, may sing of courage and of hope till

Look up from the wreck strewn pillows to tn.

may sing of the tropic ocean, where the sun
shine, full and warm,
Falls over the landlocked harbors, where the
ships outride the storm.

Till straying ships sail shoreward wisn their
Cargoes, one by one;
And | know comfort the neighbor who is in

While we watch and wait together for the
ships that we sent to sea.

Scallops in an Aquarium.

Nothing is prettier than to watch
pectens in an aquarium. They have a
huttering motion and move up and down
in the water Provided with an aductol
muscle of great power, they can rapidly
open and close their valves and take in
or throw out water AS Mr.. Hugh M.
Smith writes, The sight of a school of
scallops moving in unison through the
water is very striking one" Fisher
men know that the scallop moves. for it
often happens that where there were
scallops one day on a bank there are
none to be found the next. Probably
changes of position are made for food or
temperature. New York Times

DiSilluSiOnS.

During his days of youthful enthasi-
asm every man promises himself a career
of perfect happiness-of stainless re-
spectability-of matchless honor. We
fatter ourselves that the world will re-
form itself for our sake We anticipate
faultless partner in our future bride,
and cheat ourselves with the expectation
that the even current of destinies will
flow over sands of gold. Alas! the first
self deception we are compelled to resign
becomes bitter trial to our fortitude;
but, one after another, we see these
cherished visions fade away-we inure
ourselves to the degree of mediocrity
which is our allotted portion-and final
ly learn to be contented with such scraps
as the charity of fortune throws in our
way.-New York Ledger.

1t was at first seemingly slight thing
that a straw or other light body is at
tracted to and will for a time adhere to
amber or sealing wax or glass which has
undergone brisk friction; yet this was
one of the first stepping stones toward
the discovery of the mysterious agent
which we term electricity, an agent
operating through all matter, animate
and inanimate, reaching from the earth
to the sun, and probably to the utmost
bounds of the seemingly infinite ether,
and yet not intractable, but lending
itself in most various ways to the service
of man.
So with each new telepathic fact, how
ever seemingly trivial, higher stand
point is attained, the horizon widens
and there is good reason to believe that
the same laws are at work in regions
widely dissimilar. One may even sus-
pect that, like electricity in the material
universe, SO this mysterious agent in the
region of the human mind, whether per-
ceptible or not, is still of universal
operation, manifesting itself sometimes
naturally, sometimes under artifcially
produced conditions Blackwood's Mag

A Remarkable Egyptian Cnstom

The Egyptians had very remarkable
ordinance to prevent persons from Dor
rowing imprudently. An Egyptian was
not permitted to borrow without giving
to his creditors in pledge the body of his
father. 1t was deemed both an impiety
and an infamy not to redeem so sacred a
pledge. A person who died without dis
charging that duty was deprived of the
customary honors paid to the dead

A Victim of the Common House Fl,

1t is said that the late Father Damien
attributed the leprosy which brought
about his death to incubation by flies
which flew from leprous patients to a
wound on his head. 1t must be remem-

This afternoon Deputy United States
Marshals Bredlove, Webb, Wilson and

sailors and citizens, and the fights be-
came general. 1t looked as if the officers
would be killed, but a patrol wagon

Grether drew pistol as the crowd was

Robert Brown, a sailor on the Charles
ton, died in a few minutes from the eff

There is great excitement on the streets.

The sympathy Of the community seems
to be with the sailors, as it is said the Of

Prospects of the New Plan for Bene

Prospects of the New Plan for Bene-
fitting Wine-Growers.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-At the last
meeting of the Viticultural Commission
plan was outlined whereby the vine
yardists, by cooperating in various dis
tricts throughout the State, could turn
their surplus grapes to profitable account
by converting them into brandy in CO.
operative distilleries.
Since then Rutherford f. Wood has
been engaged for several weeks in organ
lZlng the grape-growers of the State as
preliminary to carrying the plan into
execution.
1t Is proposed to establish in various
portions of the State distilleries which are
to be erected and maintained by COM
bInatlons of grapegrowers who will use
dlStlIIerIes In common to convert their
grapes into brandy which cannot be done
prottably by owners Of small VINEYARDS
or by lndividual enterprise.
The dlstilleries TO be erected will be
substantial buildings, and will be owned
and used from year to year by contribut-
ing vineyardists on a co-operative sys-
TEN. Mr.. Wood has already organized
the Napa Valley growers and will soon
send report of his work to the Commits
sion. 1t is estimated by the advocates of
the cooperative distillery system that it
will net the wine-growers several million
dollars annually.

The Edison Company Wins Its Suit
Against the United States Company.
New YORK, July 14.-In suit of the
Edison Electric Light Company against
the United States Electric Light Com
pany, for an infringement of the patent
incandescent lights, Judge Wallace to-
day rendered q decision in favor of Ed
ison.
The decision broadly, squarely and
fully sustains the Edison patent. Judge
Wallace also orders an injunction against
the defendant and an accounting of profits
for past manufacture.
The present output of incandeScent
lamps in this country is about so, 600 a
day, only half of which are now made by
the Edison Company. That company as
serts that the decision gives it monop-
oily.
The patent was sustained by two APP
pelate courts in England, and the de-
clslon OF Judge Wallace apparently agrees
with the English decisions.
1t is thought that the Thompson Hous-
ton and Westinghouse Companies will
continue their business as much as be-
fore. The patent has only two or three
years moro to run. The United States
Company. against whom the appeal was
rendered, proposes to appeal at once.

WAsHINGToN, July 14.-Robert J.
Creighton of San Francisco is at Cham
berlain's. His business here is in rela-
ton to the Australian Mail Service.
with which he has been prominently
identified for many years. up to the
close of 1882" said Mr.. Creighton, ''the
Australian Mail line was supported by
the colonies of New Zealand and New
South Wales. Last year the latter Gov
ernment withdrew absolutely, but New
Zealand continued it for another year,
hoping the United States Government
would step in and contribute an adequate
share TO Its support, as this country was
the principal gamer by the service. The
Shipping Act OF last session may be re-
garded as q beginning in that direction,
but il is by no means sufficient, nor does
it appropriate nearly as much money for
conveying our bulky Australian mail as
the small colony of New Zealand paid
American steamship companies for many
years or carrying the English mail to
am from San Francisco. Doubtless Con-
gress would see the wisdom of extending
this policy and building up American
commerce with the British-Australian
settlements, which are among the richest
communities in the worid.'
