There Are Two Kinds of Mustard.

There are two varieties of mustard
black and white. Black mustard Is the
most valuable for commercial purposes.
Its seeds are very minute, weighing not
more than one fiftieth of grain each.
Its peculiar pungent taste is caused by
an essential oil. This oil can, like fruit
favors, be exactly initiated by the chem.
lists. Both as q table condiment and as
a medicine, mustard has been known
from very remote period.
As now found In our grocery stores.
this spice consists of white and black
mustard seeds. mixed and ground fine.
The white mustard keeps better than
the black variety and is not SO bitter.
A good deal of the mustard sold is adul.
terated, sometimes with wheat flour, but
more often with tumeric, the pulverized
root of q common East Indian plant

THERE ARE.

Beautiful words never spoken,
Whispers of cheer that might, save
Hearts drifting, weary and broken.
Down to the night Of the grave.
Silence more, deadly than passion,
Chances that Islander can send,
Fram'd in the worlds deviltsh fashion,
To murder the heart of afriend.
Looks, spotless virtue impeaching,
Souls lying crush'd on the plain,
With tear frozen eyelids beseeching
The touch of loves sunlight again.
Burdens to bear for thesweaker,
Jewels to dig from Gods mine;
And-gems, fairer still, to the seeker
In the angels tiara that shine.
Within us the souls silent treasure
Waiting the kiss of the light;
Sweet scented blossoms of pleasure
Our fingers may Gull from the night.
Fruit shining ripe on tolls mountains,
Pearls that sleep under LIES sea;
Music in Gods laughing fountains
Undream'd of by you or by me.
Larks singing down In loves meadow,
Throstles that pipe by the hill;
Out Of times darkness and shadow,
Whispers that comfort and thrill.
Voices within ever singing,
Melody soften'd by tears,
The phoenix of hope at last springing
Serene from the ashes of years.

The SLEEPING SEA.


Far away ships are sailing
Far and faint and dim
CLEANS of white, or glints Of light,
On the vague horizons rim.
And the. ocean. only varied
Where the breakers cry
Fromthe strandaof cleaning sand,
Stretches levelto the sky.
Cloudless azure heavens bending
Ger the sleeping sea-
Pulsing heat about her feet
Where can peril be2
Can 1t DO that tempests gather,
Strong winds lash the doepf
Tossed In pain thetall ships strain,
Maddened pillows shoreward leap7

Trust'thy hands to flaming brands
Trust not flcl1le seas and skies.

great traveller and missionary Of that
period, while he was with the Indians
on what we now call the Pacific coast
was many years afterward met by him
in Asia. Through many vicissitudes
and strange experiences, she had
passed from ti.iDe u trl5G~and pi4ce to
place, always moving northward, until
she reached Behring Strait, and there,
having gone out in one Of the large
canoes used by the seafaring Indians
of that region, in great storm they
were driven across the strait to wreck
and death to all save her, and she
wandered on until she met Father
Hulk in the interior Of Asia She had
not sought to return, but following the
spirit Of adventure bred in her by her
strange experiences, sic went on to

Trinidad and Tobago, that small ro-
mantle island of the Caribbean, were
discovered by Columbus ON his third
voyage. Fowley, who wrote in the
last century, gave Tobago that name
from notion that it resembled a
tubica instrument so called BY the In
dians, with which they inhaled the
fumes Of tobacco. The Crusoe Cave
is on this Island, and as an illustration
of the slowness with which the world
learns geography, Tobago is still often
