When q woman hates a mau it is a

Nature set the mark of her adherence

Women will love men they cannot re-

If a man is good it is either because
he has to be or because he enjoys it. No
man was ever good from a sense of duty.
There is one good thing that may be

When a woman cannot reform a man
his salvation is impossible. When she

Men make laws for the protection OF
the brute creation in order to relieve
themselves of responsibility aud to es-

raise the hand aud point to a law when
appealed to than to rise bodily and bring
the offender to justice.
Most personal questlops are like old

Ranching In Florida.

Ranching though the least known, Ii
the oldest industry in Florida. For d

The Magnificent sllosllone Falls.

"A correspondent Of the San Jose (Cal.
Mercury, who recently visited the great
falls of Shoshone in Idaho came away so
enraptured that he was moved to declare
them grander than ever Niagara. He
says: 1.-The height of the falls at all
points is very nearly the same, namely
225 feet, and the volume of the water
very great, as indicated by the effects
already mentioned. The grandeur of
such a plunge. may be conceived when it
is remembered that it is s~eveuty-seven
feet higherthan Niagara at the American
Fall and sixty-one feet higher than the
Horseshoe Falls at Niagara, the respec-
tive heights of which are 1853 and 1874
feet. Its greatest attraction lies in its
variety. The fall is $50 feet wide and
no ten feet of literal surface presents the
same appearance. Every minute you
discover some new beauty in it, and for
this reason you never tire of looking at
it, and reluctantly at last drag yourself
away from the fascinating prospect. The
deep narrow chasm hens in the thunder
of its waters, and only at certain seasons
can you get the full effect Of the fall by
viewing it from the cabin below. At all
other times the river fills the narrow can
On and makes q view from below inn
possible. It is q wild, weird place, this
gorge through which the Snake River
has cut its way. bare, black, precipitous,
and desolate, and the drencaing spray
which often rises hundreds of feet above
the top of the falls, adds to its dreariness.
But all this is forgotten while you gaze
on the witching loveliness of this mighty
waterfall

Although this has not been a yery
profitable year for the Pacific Coast fish
ermen, it is said that 500, 600 pounds Of
silver salmon have been shipped East.
OF the other varieties perhaps twice the
quantity will be marketed by the end of
the season. There are four species of
this fish: the "humpback," which are
caught early in the season; the stjack"
and the etsilyer," which are finest in
flavor, and the s'dog' salmon, of q good
quality that runs until late in the year..
The sthumpbacks' average five pounds
in weight, the ''jacks" fifteen, the
''silyers'' six, and the "dog,' salmon
twelve pounds. The fishermen receive
about two cents a pound for their catches.

wHERE MEMORY SLEEPS.

Where memory sleeps the soul 10th rise
Free of that past whers sorrow lies,
And storeth against future ills
The courage of the constant hills,
The comfort of the quiet skies.
Fair is this land to tired eyes,
Where summer sunlight never dies,
And summers peace the spirit fills.
Where memory sleeps.
Safe from the seasons changing cries
And chill of yearly sacrifice,
Great.roses crowd my window stills
Calm roses that no winter kills,
The peaceful heart all pain denies
Where memory sleeps.
