LEGEND OF CASTLE ROCKS.
BY Glen"

When the Sacramento River
Wed with summers skies in blue,
anu the wavelets clear did quiver
With radiant silver hue,
came giant great and mighty
through the tracklesS forest glades,
beaflng IN his arms burden
1he faireSt OF all forest maids.
All the wild birds saw him coming,
~ Gayly stepping through the pine,
Ireadlng Gown the storu-stained tamarack
I'LL the sap fiowed like red wine.
up the ste p and gray Siorras,
Like to jewels set ii: green
SnoW-cIad peaks above him flashing
With shining silyery sheen;
through the crimson hue of dawning
Day wine spilled by Hebe's hand,
In The purple mlsts of evening
Heralcing the starry band
Mountain lilies, lifted chalice,
Orchld blooms in woodland shade,
crushed and pertumed wandering breezes
When the giant his footprints made,
Mighty Shasta, white and stately,
Feeling Chill, and drear and lone
ger MS brow mist-like tear drops,
Freezing into diamond stone,
saw hln coming, heard the laughing
OF the forest maiden sweet,
Like the ripping of the waters
When the brook and river meet
Stralgntway changed the mist to sunshine,
Fleet as laughter after tears,
Cleaned the snowy robe in glory
Sparkling like the starry spheres;
And the pines in splendid column,
Plumed and armored as for fray,
With battle hymns. signing murmur,
Dying on the breeze away
Black and orange Shasta lilies,
Scarlet berries oathed in dew:
blue bells coiumolne and larkspur,
Mingled with the fir and yew
shasta radiant, grand in beauty,
Decked with crimson snow-plant bright
saw tne maiden, saw and loved her,
AS the giant paused in flight.
And the maiden viau-iDC Sbos+o
Who would WOO her for his own,
Yielded; left her giant lover
Ere the nj 5ht's last hour had flown.
Quickly Shasta claSped her To him.
Close his dark cloud curtains drew:
Called his storm hosts TO protect him,
And his guards of pine and yew.
Then the mighty lovelorn giant
Tossed the DrOoklets from his path.
Flung huge cliffs like pebbles round him;
Scattered lesser peaks in wrath:
Hewed out canyons where blue rapids
Ever ceaSeless leap and dashed
Threw the mountain streams together.
Till in Castle Lake they fiashed
Then he built a mighty castle
OF tall cragS that pierce the dome
OI blue skies, or fair white clOudlaud
Where the noun tain eagles roam.
Ragged edge, and rocky ridges
Blocks and spires lifted high,
Minarets, all silhouetted,
Grim and dark against the sky.
Here he lives, has lived for ages.
Watching; waiting for the maid;
And she, hidden from him ever,
Meath Mount Shasta's cloud-topped shade.
From nights portals, as the moonlight
steps with starlight, hand in hand
You can hear Mount Shastas sweetheart
Laughing softly through the land
As she comes on running water
Through the valleys green and fair,
Hastening back to Shasta's bosom
When the winters frost appear
Castle Craig guards well its master;
None may break the strong stone seals:
Grim and patient yet you near him,
When you think the thunder peals.

that even Chicago itself would not like
to assume, but the French people hope
to accomplish it. Already they have
moved in the matter and have chosen a
site for the great fair in the suburbs of
Paris, where ample room is provided
to give effect to the series of grand build

ANCIENT CLAY TABLETS.
How the Writings of the Egyptians Wero
Preserved For All Time.

How the Writings of the Egyptians Wero
Preserved For All Time.
The clay Of which the Tell Amarna
tablets are composed differed greatly in
different regions. DR.. Behold says: "In
color the tablets vary from a light to
dark dust tint and from a flesh color to
dark brick red. The nature Of the clay
of which they are made sometimes indi-
Gates the countries from which they
come. No. 1, draft of a letter from
Amenophis III to Kallimmasin, is made
Of finely kneaded Nile mud. Others are
of the dark red clay which is met with
in the north Of Syria. Five Of Ribadda's
letters are written on the yellow clay
which is common on the Syrian coast.
The tablets from Shubandi, Widya and
Ehuardata contain fragments of flint"
OF the shape of the tablet she says:
"The greater number are rectangular,
and few are oval, and they differ in
shape from any other cuneiform docu-
ments known to us. Some are fiat on
both sides, some are convex on both sides,
and some are pillow shaped. Compare
the name given to such tablets by the
Arabs, mekhadid or pillows :"
The tablet, having been kneaded into
shape, was inscribed while the clay was
damp by the use Of wooden style, and
the diverse having been written the tab
let was supported by some means while
the back was in use. In the case of some
cuneiform tablets. holes are found in the
corners, which were made by pins of
wood, on which they rested. SO as to pre-
vent the written surface from being OBJ
liberated while the reverse was being in
scribed. But these pinholes do not seem
to occur in the present collection.
Some of the letters are divided into
paragraphs by ruled lines, which are.
however, not always truly horizontal.
The royal letters, which are the most
carefully written, have well shaped SYM
bols in true horizontal lines, but many
of the tablets from Syria seem to have
been hastily written and are often very
crooked. The care, however, that was
taken by the scribe is evidenced by the
corrections which he has introduced of
unfinished words, to which syllable or
more is added by insertions between the
lines. while in other cases words, or even
a whole line, have been erased by
smoothing out the writing, other signs
having been substituted, or in some
cases the space has been left blank.
When, therefore, translators who have
found difficulty in understanding what
was written have supposed that the
fault lay with the carelessness Of the
original scribe, we can only regard such
a supposition as indicating the self suf-
ficiency which is common fault among
certain class Of modern scholars, who
are convinced that if there be any error
it cannot be their own.-Edinburgh Re-
view.

The Lewiston Sun talks about the cry
ing iced of compulsory arbitration law
TO settle labor troubles. A compulsory
arbitration law will amount to nothing
without it is supplemented by a law COM
polling the parties to the arbitration to
abide by the result, and that is impossi-
Bile. For instance, if board of arbitra-
tion should decidel:that a body of work
men who had demanded more wages
were receiving enough, how could those
men be compelled to work for the wages
which the board decided were sufficient?
And If they could not, what would the
arbitration amount to?

The Democratic members of the Ways

by themselves when they make their
tariff bill, and not let the Republicans
know anything about it until it is COM
pleted. We don't blame them. There
is enough difference of opinion among
themselves to give them no end OF
trouble, and they are wise in keeping out
the additional discordant elements which
the Republicans would introduce.

It it intimated now that the Vice Presi-
dent may interpose to shut off debate in
the Senate and bring the silver repeal
bill to vote. His authority to do SO
will be vigorously contested, the oppo-
nents of such course claiming that
he is simply the presiding officer Of the
Senate, made so by the constitutions,
and that he is bound by the rules of
that body and has no authority over it
except to direct proceedings accord
ing to those rules. Senators who are in
favor of the adoption of a cloture rule
are very much opposed to the Vice Presi-
dents taking hand in the proceedings
and will resist any :such attempt on his
part with grest vigor.

calculated before we can hope to perfect
bill which can stand the many tests to
which it will be subjected when enacted
into law" This is very different
tone from that in vogue among the Dem
ocrats year ago. Then, the making of
a tariff bill was very simple affair. All
that was necessary was ito strike down
all the protection of the Mckinley bill
and lay duties for revenue only. Re-
sponsibility brings caution. The gentle
men who SO jauntily proposed year
ago to wipe out all protection think now
that it will be wise to go slow.
A Lancashire British miner, who for
many years was member Of a local
labor union, to which he regularly paid
the required dues, discovered some five
years ago that he and his fellow MEM

contributions to the general fund, while
the delegates" were the only ones who
profited by the union. So, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, she and his two sons
formed burned sight betIer union OF
their own. They left the union, and
had strong box made, with small
opening, into which they. could put
money, but not take it out, and all the
money for dues and levies which they
would have had to pay as members of the
union they dropped into this box. When
the strike came on they opened the box
and found that they had accumulated
