HIS MARRIAGE PORTION.
Valuable Property That Was Liable t
Walk Off

Walk Off.
Young Toodleby was a true-hearted
and promising youth. He had gradu-
ated with honor at Yale, and was study
ing law with Mr.. Lofter 1t so happened
that Toodleby became acquainted with a
beautiful young lady, daughter of old
Digby. He loved the fair lady, and when
he had reason to believe that his love was
returned he asked Mr.. Loftcr to recon-
mend him to the father, Lofter being on
terms of close intimacy with the family.
The lawyer agreed and performed his
mission but old Digby. who loved
money, asked what property the young
man had. Lofter said he did not know,
but he would inquire. The next time he
saw his young student he asked him if he
had any property Mt all.
"Only health, strength and deter
mination to work" replied the youth.
well" said the lawyer, who sincerely
believed the student was in every way
worthy, ''let US see; what will you take
for your right leg? l will give you $40, 900
for it."
OF course Toddleby refused.
The next time time the lawyer saw the
young lady's father he said:
II have inquired about this young
mans circumstances. He has no money
in bank, but he owns piece of property
for which, to my certain knowledge he
has been offered, and has refused, 81, eco -
This led old DIgby to consent to the
marriage. which shortly aiterward took
place. In the end he had reason to be
proud of his son-in-law; though he was
once heard TO remark, touching the rare
piece OF property, upon the strength OF
which he consented to the match:

DIAMONDS IN SHOWERS

i6 IS Possible that These Precious
stones May Come from the Clouds.
Professor Huntington of Cambridge
gave the third III his Lowell Institute
course OF lectures on meteorites at Hunt
| lngton Hall, NJ. /. r., Monday eyenirr
to the usual large audience.
Ills especial topic was the composition
ana structure, and the relations which the
minerals found in the metaors bear to the
minerals found in the earth.
Every succeeding meteor, he said. is a
matter OF interesting and important study.
The striking result, thus far, is that no
new element has yet been discovered.
| FULLY one-half the seventy or more
known elements in nature have been
found IN them. The familiar elements
appear IN peculiar aSsOciationlin all meta-
orites; nothing like the combinations are
found in mundane deposits
The 1rst noticeable feature in meteor
ties IS their dark, VitriOuS crust, the re-
suit OF heat from their rapid motion.
Their fresh fractures are usually gray.
with rounded granular structure. NAL
/ leable iron IS often present, and this alone
shows their origin, as it is almost never
found elsewhere in nature.
The next largest feature in meteorites
is their rock material. This differs from
all other rocks, but is practically identi-
cal in all specimens vet examined
There are indications, too, of some sys-
tenn Of stratification.
a list of clements found terrestrially
and common in meteorites was given. and
1t was remarked that some of the eIe-
ments most common on the earth are alb
sent. OF these quartz, limestone, field
spar and mica are the most common.
Ten or more minerals or compounds
were named which are found ONLY in
| meteorites, and their peculiarites were
given in detail, and the lecturer found
evidence that some of these combinations
could not have been found in the pres
ence of water or of free oxygen. Some of
them bear quite close relations to the
earlier volcanic rocks upon the earth. but
none resemble the surface rocks.
MeteOrlc stones show other variations
from terrestrial stones. OF these their
structure, of rounded grains is notable.
Some grains appear to be single CRYSTALS
worn by attrition, while others seem to
be aggregationS of similar crystals. Some
Of them have crust like the larger mass.
and others seem to have been fused to-
gether, indicating that each grain had a
history antedating the mass. No salts
factory theory explaining their pecullari-
| ties has yet been presented.
A recent meteor which fell in Russia in
1856 was mentioned as containing carbon
IN the cryStalliZed form of diamonds. 1t
suggests that all diamonds came from
| meteorites. Their origin has never been
explained.
There is no evidence of any organic
life in the constitution of meteorites.
Certain hydro-carbon gases have been
found. and something very like petro-
( leum Is claimed to exist. II this is true,
ii suggests the origin of meteors in some
| organic deposits in a prehistoric world

THE MOTHERS DUTY.
She Should Train Her Children to
straightforward


straightforward
If there is one thing above all others
in which a mother should train her chill
dren it is to cultivate natural and sim
pie manner Not alone in outward adj
dress to the world must young people
learn To be honest and straightforward,
but in their thoughts. in their methods OF
work, and in all their dealings with
themselves as well as with the rest Of the
world. The habit Of gush, for we know
no better word to express the foolish
practice of exaggeration in word and
manner which 50 many people assume,
having once become established, slowly
saps the moral responsibility 1t is a
vice of manner, the result Of slow growth,
and it is not necessarily pure hypocrisy
One may feel secretly that it is ones duty
to praise certain work of art, book or
sentiment, though if the gusher should
sincerely analyze her feelings she will
find that she receives no genuine pleasure
from it.
The story is told of celebrated artist
that he asked lady once what she
thought of his picture, and she answered
nalvely that it was perfectly deteStable.
He thanked her and congratulated
himself that in all the river of gushing
commentator he had heard, this at least
was honest criticism and therefore ex-
tremely refreshing, although it is not
likely that even the most genial OF ar
fists would have enjoyed many such
criticisms. Nor is it required that enc
should thus bluntly speak the truth on
all occasions. No one is more universally
detested or makes more genuine mischief
than she who prides herself upon her in
genuous frankness. 1t is always pleasant
to see a person who is honestly enthu-
SiaStic, but this has no more relation to a
gushing manner than cant has to re-
ligion.
Young girls are very apt to assume be-
fore they realize it, mock enthusiasm in
their tone and manner because they often
feel that the exigencies of the case call
upon them for more than they sincerely
feel. 1t requires skill and care to guide a
girl away from such quicksands as these,
SO that she will grow up to be q genuine
helpful and truthful woman. But no
where is the duty of the mother more
clearly laid out than to guard her child
against any insincerity.
IT'S the little rift in the lovers lutte.
That slowly widening, makes the music mute
It's the little speck in the garnered fruit
That inward rOtting, surely mOldeTeth all

Death Makes Another Demand on the
Pioneers Ranks.
The death is announced Of l. y. Bah
cock Of Placer County, who was in early
days prominent citizen of Sacramento.
He came here in 1870 and settled or the
north side of the American River, near
the Lisle bridge, where he lived until
about ten years ago, when he removed to
the foothills and established his home
near Auburn.
Mr.. Babcock served two terms as Super
visor of this county. He is said to have
been the first person to raise peaches in
this section Of the state. In 1882 his
young orchard produced single speci-
men of that fruit, which he exhibited ut
the State Fair III that year, where it was
one of the chief attractions.
Deceased was native of Rhode Island,
63 years of age. lie leaves wife, one
daughter Mrs. L. p. Cannon OF Auburn
