Money in . Meteor.

There is in the office of the Mer- chants National Bank, of Kansas City, says the Times of that city, a fragment of meteor which has @ peculiar histo- ". A farmer in Western Kansas had borrowed more money on his farm than he found himself able to repay. While meditating over his bad fortune, but, with the usual energy of the Kansas farmer, still filling his soil, he turned up this meteoric stone and examined it, but discovered nothing peculiar in its makeup until a relative from the East, who was visiting him, noticed 1t and told him 1t was of great value. The farmer communicated with Prof. John Hay, State Geologist, at Junction City, Kan, who visited the place and con f1rmed the opinion of the relative. and caused collectors of such stones to com pete for it's purchase. 1twas sold for Q sum largely fn excess of the amount TO- Quired to redeem his home from the money lender.

worst kind stared him in the face. Ii he could not deceive Ray the game was up. He thought of a dozen plans, and at last hit upon one which was so sim pie that it looked almost childish, and yet he believed that it would work.
 The machines were stored in rough, dimly-lighted room at the factory. There were about a dozen of them in two rows. There should have been twenty to make the accounts come out right. Russell secretly visited the fac tory ahead of Ray, and, on some pre- tense of showing the machines to better advantage, he had some workmen put a big mirror against the wall behind the rows of motors. This wall had no win dows, for the light was admitted d at each end oi the room. The edges of the mirror Russell carefully concealed. Then he had short and confidential interview with the engineer. The room was heated by steam pipes in win ter. It was then May, and Q hot day, too, but Russell got tho engineer to switch the steamsfnto this room full head. Then he closed the windows, and in about an hour the temperature rose to that of the hot room in Q Turkish bath.

CANADIAN FORESTS.
Varieties of Trees Best Suited to PrOPa-
 gatiOn.

gation.
 From present experience, says the Toronto Empire, the varieties most promising for Manitoba and the North west are as follows: Box elder, vari- ously known as Manitoba maple, ash leaved maple and negundo maple, when grown from Northern seed. These lead in hardness and general adaptability. American elm and white ash also do well when grown from Manitoba seed, and show in Q marked degree greater hardness than those raised from East ern seed Yellow canoe and white birch, as well as the cut-leaved varie- ties, are promising. American and Flu ropean mountain ash are showing adapt ability to soil and climate in surpris- ing degree. Of the naples (acer dasy carpum) the soft maple and Norway maple are partially successful at Indian Head. The Russian poplars, remark able for their hardness and rapidity of growth, are destined to be of great value to our settlers in the Western prairie region, where they form shelter belts for tenderer varieties in incredibly short periods. Experiments on the branch farms at Brandon and Indian Head thus far have demonstrated that in the line of shrubs, eleagnus argentea and aleagnus augustifolia-this last commonly called Russian wild olive Siberian pea tree (caragan aarbores- cens) and several varieties of the lilac, the Japanese rose (rosa rungosa) will also be useful.

sEvEN-scoRE OF YEARS.
The Extreme Old Age of Some Southern
 California Indians.

The Extreme old Age of Some Southern
 California Indians.
 The early inhabitants of Southern California, according to the statement Sf Fl. H. Bancroft and other reports, were found to be living in Spartan con- ditions as to temperance and training, and in a highly moral condition, in con- sequence of which they had uncommon physical endurance and contempt for luxury. This training in abstinence and hardship, with temperance in diet, combined with the climate to produce the astonishing longevity to be found here, says Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's Magazine. Contrary to the customs of most other tribes of Indians, their aged were the care of the com munity. Dr. w. A. Winder, of San Diego, Is quoted as saying that in a visit to Ell Cajon valley some thirty years ago he was taken to a house in which the aged persons were cared for. There were half a dozen who had reached an extreme age. Some were unable to move, their bony frames be- ing seemingly anchylosed. They were old, wrinkled and blear-eyed; their skin was hanging in leathery folds about their withered limbs; some had hair as white as snow, and had seen some seven-score of years; others, still able to crawl, but so aged as to be unable to stand, went slow ly about on their hands and knees, their limbs being atten- uated and withered. The organs of special sense had in many nearly lost all activity some generations back. Some had lost the use of their limbs for more than a decade or a generations; but the organs of life and the "great sym pathetic" still kept up their automatic functions, not recognizing the fact, and surprisingly indifferent to 1t, that the rest of the body had ceased to be of any use a generation or more in the past. Dr. Palmer has a photograph (which have seen) of squaw whom he esti- mates to be one hundred and twenty six years old. When he visited her he saw her put six watermelons in a blanket, tic it up, and carry it on her back for two miles. He Is familiar with Indian customs and history, and care full cross-examination convinced him him that her information of old GUS toms was not obtained by tradition. She was conversant with tribal habits she had seen practiced, such as the ere nation of the dead, which the mission fathers had compelled the Indians to re- linquish. She had seen the Indians punished by the fathers with f1oggings for persisting in the practice of crema- ton.
 At the mission of San Tomas, in Low CT California, is still living an Indian Ca photograph of whom Dr. Remondino shows), bent and wrinkled, whose age is computed at one hundred and forty years. Although blind and naked he is still active, and daily goes down the beach and along the beds of the creeks in search of driftwood, making it his daily task to gather and carry to camp a fagot of wood

Ray came out about Ave o'clock in the afternoon. He was in hurry, and Russell knew it Russell showed him through various parts of the building, and at last they climbed the stairs to the room in which the motors were stored. It was like a fiery furnace when Ray, already puffing with his climb up the steep stairs, put his head into it.
 Great heavens!' he exclaimed, mop ping his forehead, "what section of the internal regions is this?"
 "It is necessary to keep the machines at high temperature for a few days" Russell explained, with shaking nerves. ''They work the better for it.''
 The room was not very light, but the machines were plainly visible from a little raised platform near the stairs.
 'Let us stop here." said Russell; 'there is more air"
 "I'll have to get out of here." said Ray; "Pm roasting"
 He ran his eye hastily over the ma- chimes. counting them. The illusion of tho mirror from that point was good.
 ''I make twenty-six," said he.
 "Thank heaven," said Russell, under his breath; "the old man has not only counted the images in the mirror, but he has seen two of them double."
 They descended hastily.
 "Every thing seems to be going right" :" said Ray when he had regained his breath.
 ''Yes," replied Russell, with sigh of relief. "We have had a few narrow es- capes out here, but trust our troubles are over."
 At the door, however, he encountered Deering. He had never known of the in ventor's visiting the place before. Here was a new source of danger. Could it be possible that Deering, too, was sus- picious?

[. O.. U.
BY HOWARD FIELDING.

preparation of the poem, however, was . work of considerable magnitude, and, with Alice, he spent O great many hours digging out the verses. Alice proved to be remarkably clever at this sort of work, and together they evolved a sad narra- tive of disappointed affection, with a climax which cast a general blight over tho face of nature. It wasn't so bad after all, and when the society and its guests swallowed the production for Q work of genius, and overwhelmed Cupid with congratulations, the real authors were not only amused but fattered. They had been taken in" by their own pro- duction no less than the others. Cupid, in reply to Q hundred questions, told the lie which had been prepared for him by Russell, with a face as somber as the opening of a hard winter, and the two oonspirators got no end of fun out of his stolid bearing in the midst of his hon. ors. All sorts of ridiculous plans for getting him into favor were proposed; and Russell foresaw that eventually Cupid would have to disappear or be dis covered. When the exposure should finally come, Russell feared that his own disappearance, too, would be a necessary condition of safety.
 But Cupid had to be provided with one more poem, and Alice and Russell were hard at work upon 1t one evening in early November in the library of the Rays. Alice had not bcen quite well, and she sat in a big chair before an open fire playing the pretty invalid. There was an air of languor about her which was happily all that remained of her illness. It was immensely becoming, Russell thought, and the frelight fash ing upon her pale checks gave her a fascination which well nigh overcame his resolution. By hard struggle of the will he kept his mind fixed upon the poem, and he made a note now and then upon 8 writing pad in his hand, leaning iowa I'd the Ire for light.
 The pencil fell from his hand and rolled along the hearth rug. He stopped for it but could not find 1t in the dim flrelight. It must be hidden near her foot-stool. He got down upon one knee to look for 1t, steadying himself by the arm of her chair. She spoke to tell him where she thought the pencil had gone, and he looked up into her face. The attitude was notwithstanding at her feet. He was sure he loved her; she looked kindly down at him; he had it on his lips to tell her.
 At this moment Gilbert Ray entered by door from the hall, and Mrs. Ray appeared simultaneously through Jap
