A Springfield gentleman who spent
q summer in Europe lately, tells this
story Of the Scotch climate. He had
been in the "laa5 q cakes" for nearly
two weeks, on . special trout fishing
tour. The tsout were magnificent, but
the weather was awful; Is rained every
day and all day long. He was not easily
discouraged and ashed through rain,
minus shine. II was growing just q
trifie monotonous by the end Of the
second week. The natives kept proph-
esying sunshine day after day, but he
had lost all faith in them. One day
away up on the side Of . heathery hill,
where he had followed trout stream
almost to its source, he came across q
tiny, bare legged, killed highlander,
fishing with a pin and worm. "Say,
bub," said the American, "does it rain
every day in this COMPOUNDED country Of
yours2" "Oh, ma, sir" said the little fell
low with a laugh; ina, indeed, some
times it snaws." -Springfeld Home

INDIA.

Eanges swoons rippleless in the fierce midday
Drenchesl in the white-hot suns acutest fires,
Winding in calm its turgid, indoent way
Around Benares and its thousand spires.
The INDUSTRIOUS crocodiles on either bank
Loll in the sheen and watch the ichneumons
creep,
And mid the rushes and the tall grass rank
OF focal pools the huge famingoes sleep.
No sound, no stir, no pleasant dip of cars,
No sail to charm tho scene. no cloud OF
white;
Naught but the silence or the scorching shores.
Naught but the wilderness of burning light.
Master and slave have sought the shadeless
town,
The iris fish hide In the aiga dense,
With deadly beat the hell sun poureth down,
Binding continent in its insolence.
While DER the slumbering waste Of heat and
sand,
Where nothing human moves or sways or
speaks,
Far in the fertile distance, mute and grand,
Rise the great Himalayas' icy peaks.

Work of the Revenue Cutter Service.

Work of the Revenue Cutter Service.
OF the q, 900 or 80, 900 vessels that are
every year boarded and thoroughly ex-
amined by officers Of the revenue cutter
service, many are found to have side
lights, anchor lights or fog signals of
an efficiency far below what is deemed
safe by the government. These faults
are corrected, and thus one Of the great
est dangers Of the sea, collision, is miti-
gated to a great degree. The benefits of
the increased safety thus effected are
shared, not only by the seafaring man,
but also by that immense portion OF the
travelling public that selects our coast
wise steamers as means of conveyance
from place to place. The constant pa
trolling of the coast enables the cutters
promptly to discover and report to the
proper authorities the absence or imper-
lection of buoys, spindles, ightships and
other aids to nayigation.-Scribner's.

Brass in Household rurn,shinx..

We are reminded that among the
many reforms introduced by A. Welby
Pugin, one Of the ablest modern Gothic
designers, it was made especially APP
parent that brass was metal having a
beauty Of its own, and that it could be
used to advantage in many ways, both
in ecclesiastical and domestic purposes.
Brass will take brilliant polish, and
the metals adaptability for design has
been thoroughly appreciated by modern
designers.

The demand for platinum for use in
science has raised its value to three

it was worth eighty dollars a pound. 1t
now costs $3.50. or eleven times more

How Jewish Meat IL Killed.


One of the largest abattoirs of the city
of New York, covering an ample block,
owned and operated by men Of Jewish
race and faith, is remarkable for its
smooth and effective working and ad-
mirable distribution of parts. An aver
age of 800 cattle, between three aud five
years old, pass through it in each Of the
business days Of the year. Arriving
from the west at the river front, they
ascend one by one to the fateful inclos-
ure, where an adept employee fastens
a chain around the hind leg of each.
Hoisted by machinery, the bovine falls
gently upon one shoulder, and in most
instances without cry. Occasionally,
however, some brute, maddened by sight
and smell of blood, breaks out into the
slaughter house and creates disturbance
that is speedily quelled by its own dis
patch. Submissive companions, with
neck twisted to expose the throat, quick

rarely makes useless motion. He is a

gregations in the metropolis, avouches
The life stream in torrents follows the

the San Joaquin ranch. Mr.. Irvine
says the work was most excellently
done, and that, as q result, the grain
crop of this immense farm will be fully
one-fourth larger next year than this,
as the squirrels ate up fully one.third
OF this seasons crop.
The job cost 25 cents per acre, but the
owners OF the ranch think it was worth
double that amount to get the trouble
some rodents killed. Sixteen thousand
pounds of wheat, 40 pounds of strych-
nine, and large amount of other ingre-
dients were used in the work. Mr.. Oiler
is 70 years old, and says he has killed
souirrels for II years, and has murdered
millions of them in his time. As his
mother and father both lived to be over
100 years old, he expects to see many
summers yet. He will remain in
