"The little girl is right" he cried, em-
phatically. s'She ought to live with

Mrs. Marpod, have husband to be

Hobbies, becoming red in the face and
striking the desk heavy blow with his
fist, s'I'll have nothing more to do with
it. I tied the knot when was magis-

Mrs. Marpod, on her part, protested
that it was she who had been to blame,
but Lawyer Hobbies scolded both and

Flora, who is now handsome young

A Race With a Waterspout.

The British steamship Amur, Captain
Rouse, from Caibarein, dropped anchor
off Gloucester, N. j., on recent night
and Ter outward appearances foretold
the thrilling experiences she had with
the elements. When on the southern
edge of the gulf stream, the steamer
had an escape from destruction by a
waterspout, which fortunately passed
under her stern not many yards from the
ship.
The first seen of this monstrous dis
tur5ance was in the shape of heavy
cloud on the horizon directly to the
windward. But as it drew near it ap-
peared as though 1t would overtake the
ship and send all on board to the
bottom. 1t was a desperate struggle to
get out of its way and the ship alread y
in disabled condition, the engineer
stood by with the engines wide open,
realizing it was race for life. Nearer
and nearer the dangerous water column
drew to the ship, but by the time the
noise of its approach met the ears of the
crew the ship had gotten north to place
of safety. 1t passed the Amur's stern
with deafening noise. 1t quickly
passed and disappeared.
The same evening the wind freshed
up and by midnight was blowing gale,
the ship driving directly under the
waves and sweeping from her decks
everything movable. The tarpaulins on
the matches were washed away, ports
were sealed and boat coverings torn
away. A tremendous sea from the
northeast still continued and decks were
started through the immense pressure
brought about by ttssgreat quantities OF
water that was being continually
shipped. Everyone on board were more
or less injured through the ships terrific
rolling, and Captain Rouse pronounces
it the worst passage he ever experienced.

Danger in Feather Spring Rifles.

Army authorities are in great fear that
the new magazine rifles now in use in the
British army will be the cause of the
death of many soldiers, because it goes
off SO lightly that man, after being
shot, may in the death spasm pull the
trigger and shoot some of his comrades,
or that even the moving of the body may
discharge the weapon. 1t Is therefore
ordered that two men shall be detained
from each company to follow the line in ac-
tion, and when man falls to Immediately
remove the magazine from his rifle and
carry it away. The opponents to the use
of the new rifle say that this looks to
them to be very clumsy arrangement
and one likely to counter balance the ra-
pidity of firing gained by the use of
these feather spring weapons. = New
York Press.

The Duration Of a Dream.

Those learned and scientific gentlemen
who have gone into the subject declare
the longest dreams hardly last few
minutes. The following instance lends
support to their views: One evening
Victor Hugo was debating letters to his
secretary. Overcome by fatigue the
great man dropped into slumber. A
few moments afterward he awoke,
haunted by dream, which, as he
thought. extended over several hours,
and he blamed his secretary for sitting
there waiting for him instead of waken-
ing him or else going away. What was
his surprise when the bewildered secre-
tary told him that he had only just
finished writing the last sentence dictated
to him-

France lost valuable citizen few
days ago, says the New Orleans Picayune,
in George Hachctte, the publisher, who
between 1867 and 1878 brought out
1860 volumes. Every work he believed
useful for instruction he published re-
gardlcss of financial considerations. He
had the monopoly of railway station
libraries, and exercised over them a
supervision which was equivalent to a
vigorous censorship, but it was an en-
lightened censorship, and those who
protested against it had little sympathy
from men of education.

Idaho's Precious stones.

Collections being made in Idaho afford
unusual opportunity for studying the
geological and mineral production. The
exhibit for Custer County contains a
beautiful specimen of onyx. Indications
are that an agate field exists in the
county. Sapphires have also been found
there, one lot of which sold for Sll
But recent efforts have failed to produce
one for the exposition.
A sample of rock has been received
from Lewiston, the exact character OF
which has not been determined, but
which appears to be a variety of jaspar.
This specimen cuts glass more readily
than the diamond, and is so hard that
ten minutes grinding on an emery wheel
has scarcely any effect on it. 1t is yarie-
gated In color, with pink and green
t,nts. 1t is quite small, and efforts are
being made to secure larger one. The
value of the rock is not known.
The variety of opals will be very large.
There two mines in Latah and one about
forty miles from Boise City. They are the
genuine fire opals, and are said to be OF
a very superior quality.
Petrifications are very numerous in
the State. The chief specimen in this
department is sample from the petrified
forest in Custer County, near Challis.
This distinctly shows the bark and wood
of confer, species of pine. The
stump from which it was taken is four
teen feet above the ground, twelve feet
in diameter at the top, and fifteen at the
base. The bark is six inches thick. 1t
was discovered about Eve years ago.

The eight-hour-a-day proposition for
domestic servants and various other
schemes for getting the British Parlia-
ment to interfere between servants and
employers, which have been urged by
the London Domestic Servants Union,
have failed to make even favorable i'm
preston in critical examination before
the Royal Labor Commission. The com
mission gave a long hearing to repre-
sentative of the union, but the case fell
to pieces under questionings. The i'm.
practicability of the eight hour idea ap.
piled to domestic servants was very
clearly demonstrated. 1t also appeared
that the union itself was very weak, and
that the vast majority of domestic SER
wants seemed to be we'll treated and quite
content. The investigations showed that
the servant is far better off in regard to
facilities for legal redress than is the
employer. The union had proposition
to substitute system of paying servants
''in kind" but its representative was
"not quite prepared to suggest system
to take the place of money wages" The
conclusions arrived at by the Commits
sion so far are that the relations between
employer and domestic servant must be
of give and take character, and any in
reference by the Legislature would do
more harm than good.

An immense dining hall for students,
to be known as the Mensa Academica,

is to enable students to eat together at
minimum cost, instead of being COM

THE CHILDHOOD OF THE HEART.

Oh, the rosy days OF childhood,
How blissfully they sped.
When not charm had vanished,
And not wonder fedi
The year was full of promise then.
The tongue was full Of praise
But think the cup is sweeter now
Than in the childish days.
Oh, the laughing world of childhood,
or ignorance and ease!
The lightest touch could quicken,
And the least pleasure please;
Yet the upward paths are dearer,
With all the thorns they bear,
Than garden of a hundred flowers
When Ignorance is stherei
Oh. the beating heart of childhood
That little heart of show,
That doubt has never entered,
Nor sorrow has brought lowi
Trust me, not all the rapture
Its eager life can span
Can shadow forth the perfect love
That warns the breast of man.
