A Floor of Gems.

The following description of what
may be seen IN the Colorado Desert
where the inland sea has appeared OF
which so much has been said of late is
from the Boston Transcript. 1t reads
like a description of the valley of gems
in the Arabian Nights:
The northern portion of the desert
is paved with the most wonderful peb-
bles in the world-in many parts SO ex-
quisitely laid as to defy successful imi-
tation by the most skilled worker in
masonic flooring. They are made of
porphyry, agate, carnelian, quartz,
crystals, garnets, chrysolite and other
beautiful materials.
They are packed together so that the
surface composed of them is like n
floor, and they look as if pressed into
it with a roller. AS rule, they are of
nearly uniform size, and each one is
polished brilliantly, as If oiled and
rubbed. Most of them are perfect
spheres, and the ref ction from them
OF the suns rays is gorgeous beyond
description. Each convex surface
gives back a ray of light, and the
ground for miles seems as if LITERAL V
paved with gems. Thus the whole sur
face of the plain is a combination of
myraids of rehectors, each pebble be-
ing so highly polished that it is like a
mirror, and it is believed that the lakes
of the desert mirage are produced by
this means. The pebbles are polished
by the loose sand which is blown hither
and thither.

IMPURE BLOOD.

Nearly all diseases Of long standing have
their origin in the unnatural and unhealthy
condition of the blood, or as this condition is
very properly denOmnated, impure blood. In
Examinations Of long standing. rheumatic pains,
lingering and scroiulas diseases and all skin
diseases, such as eruptions, pimples, and
blotches, are all caused by Impurities In the
blood. lfthe blood flows.through th- vessels in
pure, fresh and powerful stream, 1t carries TO
every part of the body and to every organ new
and fresh vitality and carries the waste matter
away from them. The chief care OF parents
who are desirous of promoting the physical
well-being of their children should therefore be
to guard the tender bodies of their children
against susceptibility to the attack Of germs of
all kinds ofdiseases through impure blood. 1t
is a well known fact that people young as well
as oid whose blood circulates freely can ex-
pose themselves with impunity to the dangers
OF cOntagiOn. while persons with impure blood
VIII succumb to it at tie first opportunity. All
SKIN diseases in plrticu ar are the consequence
OF impure blood. No matter how many external
remedies may be applied they Will always
return as long the blood remains 4. pure
though they may disappear for q time. Scrofula
ana >crofulOus diseases such As swell ings of the
glands, bOils and Assesses cannot be eradica-
ted with Salyes and oiutments so long as the
blood remains in il : impure state They Will
disappear however by themselves when the
blood flows fresh and pure. For that reason a
remedy that VIII remove all impurities from
the blood which so ire iuently deteriorate it IN
children, must be regarded as a genuine bless
ing for the human race. Such remedy Is now
offered as In the st Bernard Vegetable Pills.
lhey are prepared exclusively from wholesome
medicna herbs of the Alps and should be kept
On hand in every house as the first and fore

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
A FLoWERY EMPIRE.

Many of our most beautiful garden
shrubs and greenhouse plants come
from the East, notably China and ia
pan, where chrysanthemums, asters,
azaleas, etc., are brought to perfec-
ton.
Concerning the beauty of the gar
dens in Japan, Helen Thompson in the
Brooklyn Magazine says:
The Spring and Summer in Japan is
full of picturesque beauty, and yields
an atmosphere of delicious comfort.
The skies drop gladne and the earth
teens with loneliness. Its garden pic
lures are enchanting as a kaleidoscope.
The terraced hillsides rank with ver-
dure, vie with wheat-felds bending
meath their load of grain; some just
cut and supplanted by rice, in fields
flooded with water, while others, green
with the tender shoots, are ready for
transplanting. When the seasons are
unusually dry nothing is left to suffer.
The reservoirs are SO large, and the ir-
rigating system so complete, that Ja-
pans wondrous garden smiles on be-
meath scorching rays.
The trees of Japan are a wonder.
Here is the ''mockungi," with Its pur-
pie, Dtll-SudDtu hlbO bhS
nolia, with its rich white and purple
clusters. Queen among the trees
towers the camellia. Some of these
are sixty feet high, aud are covered
with blossoms from January to May,
of many varieties, from the large
pure white, resembling double rose,
to various shades of pink and red.
The cherry and plum trees are culti-
waited solely for their blossoms, and
are trees of rare b auty. The former
grows thirty feet high and as many
broad, its branches covered with red
and white flowers, two inches in diam
eter and perfumIng the air at a great
distance. Its petals of snow and
cream, falling in showers, spread many
carpet for the feet on the stone-paths
leading to the temples, verifying the
native poet when he says: There are
snow showers which do not descend
from the skies" The plum tree is par
excellence the poets tree. Often it is
seen standing leafless in the snow. vet
adorned with blossoms like q bride.
The tree bursts into soft clouds of
bloom and fragrance in February but
without leaves.
Along the hillsides, naples and pines
are covered with vines of exquisite
loveliness, trailing and INTERVIEWING with
bewildering intricacy; among these are
the wistaria and thumbergia, with their
purple stars and tufts From the ver-
dant valleys to the tops of the noun
tains are seen lilies, pinks, and roses
of endless variety. The grass Is
studded, and flowers spring even from
the quaint, artistic matched roofs of
the tea houses, asking leave only to
draw and bless the light These tea
houses seem idyllic. They are a ma
tional institution, for they are every
where, as the people are everywhere;
along the city streets, by the roadside,
in the groves, woods, parks, valleys
and up the mountain side.

TURA'S FAIRY WIFE.
A Pretty Polynesian LeRend--Why
Gray Hair Shocked an Immortal,

1ura, coming from over seas, found
himself in a land named Otea, and
leaving his canoe, journeyed inland
Travelling through the dense forest, he
saw fairies sitting in the flowers of the
climbing plants and swinging on the
lianas which trailed from the high
boughs across the vistas of the wood.
These farIes were ourionsly-shaped be-
ings, having small heads and large
bodies, while their hands and feet were
attached to limbs so short that they
seemed as if extruding from their
bodies.
Tura had brought with him the sticks
wherewith fire Is produced by friction,
and he proceeded to kindle a fire and to
cock some food, much to the astonish-
ment of the fairies who had always
consumed their food in its natural state.
Tura fell in love with one of the fairy
women and married her. His wife re-
ciprocated his affection and they lived
happily together; but one day, when
the elfin spouse was combing out her
husbands hair, she suddenly Dried out:
"Oh, Tura, what is this white hair
among the black ones?"
He told her that it was the sign of age
and of approaching decay, the forerun-
ner of DEATH Then his wife wept bit
terly and refused to be comforted. 1t
is touching story, the sudden surprise
and grief of this child of the immortals
on her discovery of that which to us.
poor sons of clay, is so common and OBJ
trusIve a fact.
The old legend has given rise to a
rroverb saying, 'the weeds of Tura, =
as a synonymous expression for gray
hair

PandOra's Box.

Pandora was the first woman on
earth, according to the Greeks. The
name means 'hill gifted" Aphrodite
(Venus) gave her beauty, Hermes
(Mercury) gave her boldness and cum
ming, and each of the gods gave her
some gift by which she should bring
misery to man. Her husband had a
jar in his house, which Pandora
opened; from it escaped all the miser-
les and ills of mankind. Pandora
closed it again just in time to prevent
Hope from escaping also. According
to later writer's, Pandora brought
down with her from Heaven a box,
given by the gods with instructions not
to open it; her curiosity overcame her,
and she opened it with the result above
described. Later writer's say that the
box contained blessings for mankind.
and that all of them escaped except
Hope.-Nea0 York Sun.
