WHEN TRAVELLING.

BE ON time; Trims and boats wait for
no one.
READ your ticket carefully; it may
be your guide.
KNOW your route before you COM
mence your journey.
KEEP your eyes and ears open. Guard
against pickpockets.
HAVE as much money as possible,
but keep little of it in sight.
AVOID useless questions, and others
will usually be answered politely.
If you have several parcels put them
all into one strap. They are easier to
carry.
DON'T stand so as to obstruct the way
of others while saying good-by to your
friends.
If you have not your ticket ready to
show at the gate don't get illustrated.
Slip aside and look for it calmly-it
saves time.-N. Y. World.

Stone forests are found in various
parts of the world. In many cases
they are hardened by some popularity
of the atmosphere, and are found
standing just as they were when cloth
ed with green foliage, thousands of
years ago. The Little Colorado River
in Arizona has long been famous us a
locality for such finds; at one place
more than 800 cords of solid stone
tree trunks, sections, limbs and logs
were found by the government survey
Ors. Most of them were silicified; {;
seven to ten feet in diameter and from
twenty to eighty feet in height. Geolo-
gists say that the petrified trees of the
Little Colorado were once covered
with mari over 1000 feet in depth.
Some of the trees have been changed
to Jasper, and have assumed various
hues; others resemble opal, and, when
broken open, the core is often found
lined with crystals of the most beauti-
full tints. Louisiana and Ohio are also
noted localities for petrified trees. In
the former state, several years ago, in
turning up the ground, an ancient for
| est was unearthed, and in succession,
two others below the first. Scientists,
Judging from the state of the trees, say
that at least $4,000 years elapsed be-
tween the growth of the first and the
last forest. In some parts of the island
of Antigua, one of the British leeward
group, there are some remarkable eX.
amplcs of stone forests. In Van
Dicman's Land similar forests art
known to exist. Some of these arc
only partly silicilied, while others are
changed to chalcedony hard enough tc
cut glass.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Woman Swallowed by II Snake.

Chicago Herald
The steamship Oceanic, which has
arrived in San Francisco from Hong
Kong and Yokohama, brings copies of
native paper called Kokkai, which
publishes remarkable story of a mon
ster serpent.
IL says that on the 18th inst. n man
called Noemura Tahichi, % years of
age, went out with his wife, Otora,
who was AZ, to pursue his usual ayoca-
ton of tree-cuttIng in kushitamura.
Province of Lamba The husband and
wife separated at place called Mastu
Yama.
Shortly afterward, while engaged
telling tree, Tahichi thought he
heard his wife cry out. Running to
the place, he was Mortified to find that
Il hinge snake, described as being }
feet in circumference, had Otora's
head in his mouth, and was engaged
in swallowing her, despite her strug-
giles. Tahichi ran off to the hamlet
and summoned seven or eight of his
neighbors, who, when they reached the
scene of the catastrophe, found that
the snake had swallowed the woman
as far as her feet, and was slowly
making its way to its home. They
were too much terrified to touch it,and
it finally effected its escape unnolested.
The province of Lamba is one of the
most desolate in Japan, and monster
reptiles and wild animals are frequent
ly killed there.

Col. II. |. Popham, of Virginia, 10 Il
Washington Post man, ''but the late
Colonel William +. Sims, who died the
other day at Colon, where he was
United States consul, was the gamest

that reckless and desperate type that

of his foes, and would rs soon defy
twenty men as one.
'.During the Danville riots of 1855
he had the hardihood to denounce y
score or more of leading democratic
citizens in terms of unmeasured vitu-
peration. Everybody expected he
would forfeit his life as the penalty
of his reckless words. 1t was said that
his coffin had been ordered, and people
were momentarily expecting to hear
that Sims had been shot down. Yet
he walked the streets of Danville rs

enemies revolted at the idea of murder

At Colon his aggressive nature got

one occasion he was assaulted by three

MANIroU SPRINGS, Colo, June o.
Especial eManitou is to the people what
sugar barrel is to the flies on a bright
summer day-decidedly attractive. There
is an absence of flies and an influx of
people at Manitou that is refreshing.
These June days are of the leafy June
that poets pirate of-cool mornings, warm
enough at noontime to remind the out
door wanderer. that it is summer, and
evenings full of moonlight and GOODNESS.
The walks, drives and trails about
Manitou are SO numerous that old timers
of several years experience find some new
beauties whenever they go out. The
country is paradise for the lively young
woman or the brawny young man who
delights in exploring expeditions.-Ex.

OLD MANS DREAM.

All, child, watch you with the hrelight's
CLEAN
Lighting the beauties Of your golden
hair,
Nesting within the glories OF your eyes,
And kissing tenderly your checks so fair,
Your bright young life Is stretching on be-
fore,
Whilst all my youth il In the far away;
dream but OF the time TO come no more.
Whilst you have hardly ventured into
day
And yet love you with love as pure
As ever found its birth In human breast,
! love you with q love that will endure
And hold you ever as its first and best.
How have watched, as one would do a
fiow'r,
Your many charms, my darling, soft un-
fold,
Longing 10 shelter you thro' storm and
shown
But you are young, my dear, and am
old.
1t would not do to place your slender
hand
Within mine own, save for little space;
IL would not do for you and me 70 stand
Before the altar In Gods sacred place.
Another one will come and WOO and win -
A lover with a youth as bright as thine
And will keep my envious thoughts with
in,
And pray that you may taste loves Joys
divine.
May and December are not made to we'd,
Springs sun and winters snow can never
meet.
God bless thee there Is no more to be
said
And keep the fair and pure for him, my
sweet
Dream in the freight, I am watching
near,
Weave all your tender fancies DER again;
May all life's happiness be yours, my dear,
Only for me the solitude and pain
ALI the Year Round.
