FORTUNE TELLING.

My darling has learned the secret
That the gypsies, long ago,
Welded to lure the yellow gold
From credulous hands of snow,
And now, in a charmed silence
No voice from the world must break,
She deals and ponders the fateful cards
For dear Dame Fortunes sake.
Anon, she starts, exulting:
"a letter, a company,
The smile of the sun, the laugh Of the lutte,
And lover Of high degree!
But alas for my wishl It comes not"
The broad brows knit as in pain.
The poor little prophets are straight upswept
And the tale beg!ns again.
o graz eyes, masterful, steady,
On the whimsical game intent,
Little ye reck of the shining forms
That over your folly are bent;
Little ye reck of the promise
That throbs in the living air,
Or the gracious hands outstretched in vain
With gifts that mock compared
Great Mother Nature fingers
'Ihave almost lost my child"
And stately Learning echoes her
In accents deep and mild.
That was Loves plumy pinion
That brushed against your face
That strain of music is calling you
AS 1t scars to the heavenly place.
But hist what hurrying footsteps
Nearer and nearer sound2
What shape more fair than all beside
Transfgures the scene aroundp
Quick, maiden, break from your glamour
Down, the false prophetsl Ills shell
o quick, or eternity hides her, sweetl

A Queer Volcano.

In the extreme eastern edge Of Arizona,
some forty miles southwest of the remote
and interesting Indian pueblo Of Zuui,
New Mexico, is a strange natural phe-
nomenon-a great, shallow salt lake, at
the bottom of bowl-like depression
some hundreds Of feet deep, and about
three miles across. The basin is dazzling
white with Il crust of salt crystals. About
in the center rises a small black volcanic
peak; and if one will take the trouble to
ford the salt lqke-which he will find
a disagreeable, but not dangerous task
and climb the peak, he will find its
crater half filed by a lakelet Of pure

The San Francisco Chronicle states
that "two young men near Los Angeles
are rapidly making fortune staying
coyotes. Last April they were not worth
$50, but now they have $1,000 to their
credit in bank and they are adding
about $3.50 week to their deposit.
They have fifty traps set, and with these
and their rifles are rapidly thinning out
the coyotes in Us Angeles AMI San Ber-
nardino Counties. At SIS scalp there
is more money in hunting coyotes than
in growing grain or fruit, but the bust
ness will probably come to an end when
the next Legislature meets. The law
which was passed as joke has proved to
be very costly pastime.

Bavaria's King Thinks He's Stork.

Reference to this story may serve as an
excuse for alluding to the queer fad of
the present monarch Of Bavaria, the mad
King Otto. His insanity appears to
have taken the form of an illusion that
he is a stork. In one OF the magnificent
apartments devoted 10 his use at the
palace at Furstenried he has laboricusly
constructed a gigantic nest, every stick
and straw of which he has conveyed to
the spot in his mouth. In that nest he
squats almost the entire day with feath-
ers stuck in his long, thick hair aud
beard, while he chatters in imitation OF
the "clappering" Of a stork whenever
any one approaches. Occasionally, too,
he stands on one leg gazing vacantly
straight before him, while at other times
he stalks gravely about just in the same
manner that he has seen the long
bealSed, long legged birds do.-Ne@

Human Growth, Weight and Height.

Quarrelet obtained some weight rec.
ords of note, but no reliance can be
placed in them in the light of modern
observation. He concluded from such
statistics as he could get that a newborn
infant was, on the average, one-twentieth
the maximum weight in middle life;
that during the first year after birth the
increment of weight is about one-tenth
of all that is added subsequently,, and
and that between the fifteenth and
twentieth years more is added to the
weight than during any other tive-year
period of life. However, individual in
stances differ so widely that very little
reliance can be placed in the results he
obtained.
That Quartelet's statistics of weight
were incomplete and unsatisfactory is
shown by the fact that he did not detect
the interesting law recently recognized,
WV, that the weight increases slowly, or
even diminishes, when the height is in
creasing very rapidly, but increases rap
idly when the height remains nearly
stationary st. Louis Republic.

Pneumatic Tubes for Passengers.

A Hamburg Germany company has
in view a curious project. Apneumatic
railway-probably undcrground-is to
be constructed between Hamburg aud
Bucheu, a distance of fifteen miles, and
passengers are to be sent like parcels
through the tube, making the trip in
eleven minutes. The passenger carrier
is to be of cylindrical form, forty inches
in diameter aud twice as long. This is
to enclose three smaller cylinders, Of the
size of a human beinr, in which the
passengers are to travel. Each little
compartment is TO have an electric glow

Cooperation is getting in its work in
England somewhat more rapidly than in
this country, notes the Detroit FIeo
Press. AT Leicester a big shoe factory
has just been built covering six acres of
ground and costing $3.50, 900. The
machinery will cost 500, 900 more, and
these items, with 81 900, 900 in working
capital, represent the accumulations of a
cooperative enterprise. 1t is estimated
that the factory when completed will
turn out $4,000 pairs of shoes in a
week

it is extremely interesting to know,
remarks the New York Independent, that
the people of TERRA del Fuego have re.
Gently proposed to establish custom
house to act independently of other
custom houses. The country has estab-
lished consid erable trade with England
in wool and its other products. TERRA
del Fuego comprises the mass of islands
at the southern point OF South America
only one of which is of any considerable
size, that one being two hundred miles
long by twenty-five miles wide. The
Straits of Magellan separate the TERRA

The most southern island of the group
is the one upon which Cape Horn is
situated.

1t is stated that, in addition to the
land at present given up to sugar culture

Here is an expert opinion upon Eli
sons new electric motor: 1t is not mere
ly the outcome of speculation, but the
result of actual experiment on COM
mercial scale. Mr.. Edison uses the rails
as conductors and operates at low po-
tential. He has proved that there is no
cause for fear from the accidental forma-
ton of short circuit through the cross
ing of tracks by vehicles with iron
wheels or tires. As regards the question
of safety to human beings and animals
likely to come in contact with the rails,
it is needless to add that the effect of
twenty volts upon the human body is i'm
perceptible, and actual experiment has
also shown that horses are not effected
by it in the slightest degree. So far the
initial cost of the new system will make
it inapplicable to any but the largest
cities and the largest short roads.

largely signed calls upon the govern
ment of China TO take steps for abrogat-
ing the treaty with this country, TO pro-
hibit the i'm mportation OF American goods
into China, and to exclude all Amerl-
cans from the Chinese empire. All fair.
minded people will concedo that in the
circumstances this action is natural and
pardonable. Tie tendency OF n part
the American people to go to the
furthest extreme in their hostility to
the Chinese, in utter disregard OF tho
treaty obligations of the government,
has been tolerated with notable patience
and forbearauce by the Chinese govern
ment and its representatives to the gov
crnment of the United States, but 1T
could not be expected that the persist
ent pursuit of these people would be al
lowed to go on perpetualiy without some
manifestation of resentment A short
time ago the Chinese minister at Wash
ington, in an interview, modestly stated
that the repeated efforts of his govern
ment to secure some statement from
the government of tho United States re-
garding its purposes or sentiments
towards the Chinese people had been
unavaillng, and he intimated that his
government was not pleased with the
result of his inquiries, but this seemed
to have no effect upon the members of
congress who are bent upon assailing
ana insulting the Chinese at every OPP
portunity. Possibly the action OF the
Chinese residents will nave Il whole
some effect in restraining the radical
| element, though the chances are that 1T
will intensity their hostility. 1t ought
| to have some influence, however, upon
| the fair and unprejudiced sentiment of
| the country and lead it to declare itself
against the course Of the people who are
ready to ask the United States to violate
its treaty obligations. The action of
the Methodist conference in New York
in adopting resolutions opposing further
restrictive legislation against the Chi
nese, is an example that should be gen
| orally emulated.
