Vessels containing milk and cream
were ranged along high, strong benches.
Two high keg-like churns, a number of
whey TASKS, cheese in the process of cur
ing, and empty mOlds, kegs hlled with
butter and empty kegs, milking pals,
the krak or milking stool, swimmers and
numerous other rude but ample appli-
ances of the dairy were cumbrously but
conveniently disposed, and everything
was cool, dry. sweet and clean. In her
innocent and boundless hospitality Lars
sister was determined that we should oc-
cupy the girls bed, while they slept upon
the floor beside US; but we compromised
by making our own couch of reindeer
moss upon the saeter floor; and passed
three nights in this peculiarly informal
manner, the girls using every article
and entreaty TO persuade US to longer
remain.
In the meantime in company with Iillie
and Christine we visited a few neigh bor-
ing saeters. The arrangements, belong
ings and customs at all were precisely
alike, Al night the girls call the herds
from the mountains with peculiar pene-
trating calls and songs. As they approach,
each COW, goat or sheep is addressed by
name, each name ending with the Norsk
syila6el rO5, a term of endearment; and
each animal is rewarded by bit Of salt
licked from the saeter-girl's capacious
hand. The threnody of the musical little
bells with which the herds are provided,
intensified by the echoing rocks
and rare mountain air, is a melodic
experience never to be forgotten. Each
animal stands demurely at milking night
and morning, until signal for its liberty
is given by the saetergirl briskly patting
its back. At night the animals dispose
themselves for sleep in little groups
closely huddled about the cabin; and the
caresslng and coolng of the girls to the
dumb and faithful creatures, as they are
sent away to the crags for the long days
grazing is a scene of tender, pastoral
worthy the ncblest poets or painters art.

The Cunning Chinese.
From the Folsom TELEGRAPH.

D. w. Burnett is the owner of a piece
of land on the American river, near
Salmon Falls, in Ell Dorado county. The
river bed there for 100 or 200 yards had
never been mined, Some Chinese made
him an offer to lease this land for mining
purposes for two years, Offering TO pay
him 500 for the use thereof This was
declined. The Chinese were persistent.
though, and after bartering for while.
MIR. Burnett told them they could have
the land for the time stated for $3.50. one
half TO be paid in advance and the bal
ance at the end Of the year.
The offer was accepted, and Mr.. Bur
nett was congratulating himself on his
bargain, and considered the s75 to have
come into his possession easily.
He was not long in changing his mind.
AS soon as the lease was signed. the
Chinese began to work. A force of eiqh-
teen or twenty men were EMPLOYED bv
them. A wing dam was built and wheel
and other apparatus put up there, the
cost of which was not over $400 or $500.
About three days after, it was rumored
that the mine was producing 81 500 a day.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
the heathens had sent away IS, 500 worth
of dust within week after they began
work. Several thousand dollars worth
of dust was also disposed of in Chinatown
and handed over to one Of the Chinese
merchants there.

He walked away from her then, and,
leaning against the mantel, remained
in utter silence fully five minutes To
most of us, however ease-loving or
however hardened, there are moments
| when it is given to us to see new
heaven and new earth; and to Harry
Emerson this flash of inspiration came
as he stood studying the border of shells

Margcry watched him with intense
anxiety. Under all her pain and dis
appointment she had still such faith in
him that it was not wholly surprise
to her when. returning to her side, he
said, with all the anger gone from his
voice:
I'VE must call Mrs. Coffin in and ex-
plain to her, Margery. Say anything
you like-I don't care but I'm going
to take you in to Cousin Sally's this
evening. Your mission is accomplished.
I'll take the hotel place or do anything
else that can to help; and when
fail, I'll give you leave to go out to
service as fast again as you please"
Margery, looking up at him through
her happy tears, felt almost as if she
were marring the splendor of his sur
render By saying as she did:
"But, Harry, must tell you! Cousin
Sally said that if you saw things this
way, she would pay every debt you
owe, and help papa out of the tight
place he is in. She never did help us
before, she said, because we seemed to
her SO lacking in good principle"
But even when Miss Sally had helped
them to such an extent that they soon
sailed past all the breakers of which 1
have written, Harry's new manliness
proved seaworthy. So effectually, in
deed, did he learn the lesson which
Margcry gave, that his contributions
to ,ae family exchequer saved her
from any need to take a second situa-
ton. = Hester vickery Brown, in

Life would be so much easier if we

cried; but her mother and Harry
scoffed at her philosophy. The striving
and pretending, the staving off one
debt and getting into another went on
apace.
Lying alone in the hammock in the
fragrant twilight of late May day,
Margery was thinking over things in
general with a noble discomfort, when
suddenly from the room beyond she

The conciliatory tone was dashed with
defiance now, and the sharpness of the
answering voice was increased.
II don't expect it. Considering the

Novel Method of Photographic the Cam
OF IN Enemy.

An exceedingly interesting English
invention consists of camera combined
with 4 parachute. especially designed
for obtaining photographs of fortifica-
tions and of the camps of the enemy,
although pictures may also be made for
general surveying purposes The para
chute is snugly folded in thin case at
the end of a rocket which is fred to the
required height and burst open by
means of a time fuse. The explosion
sets free the parachute, which is pro-
tected from injury by means of a casing
of asbestos. The parachute has num-
Der of thin umbrella ribs, and these
are forced outward and kept in that
position by means of strong spiral
spring.
From the parachute a camera is sus
pended, and string held by the opera
tor is attached by universal joint to
the bottom of the device, for the pur-
pose OF pulling the parachute back The
camera is fitted with an instantaneous
shutter, operated by clock work, SO as
to give several exposures at intervals
At the ba ok of the box is IN arrange
ment by which the plates can be
manipulated the same as clockworl. A
swinging motion can be given the
camera by the operator, and this will
enable him to obtain successive pictures
over q wide area
The whole arrangement is exceeding
ly ingenious, and if it can be employed
practically it marks an important step
in the science of IN odern warfare Chi

PATIENCE.

Be patient. Easy words to speak
While plenty fills the cup OF life,
While health brings roses TO the cheek,
And far removed are care and strife,
Failing so glibly from the tongue
OF those-I often think OF this
Whom suffering has never wrung.
Who scarcely know what patience is.
BE patient. when the su1'rer lies
rrostrate beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through torturing agonic3,
Only for one short hour of ease.
Be patient, when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care,
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than IL can bear.
To feel the torture of delay.
The agony Of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard,
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward OF fortunes kiss;
This Is to almost conquer fate.
This is to learn what patience is.
Despair not, though the clouds are dark,
And storm and danger veil the sky;
Let fate and courage guide thy barque,
The storm will pass, the port is nigh.
Be patient, and the tide will turn,
Shadows will fee before the sun;
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light US till our work is done.

Enemies of Carrier Pigeons.

The liability to destruction of car
rier pigeons from birds of prey and
other sources of danger has led to the
training of falcons for the carrying of
messages in the Russian army. The
falcon has several advantages over the
ordinary carrier. A pigeon easily flies
one hundred leagues at a speed of eight
to ten leagues an hour, but falcon
can as easily cover fifteen leagues an
hour for fifteen hours, feat which the
pigeon can rarely accomplish. 1t is on
record that a falcon sent from the
Canary Islands to Spain returned from
Andalusia to Teneriffe. distance of
two hundred and fifty leagues, in six
teen hours. The falcon can also sup
port heavier dispatch. 1t encounters
fewer dangers and is stronger against
atmospheric accidents 1t has been pro-
posed to utilize both swallows and bees
for carrying purposes, but their use is
attended with obvious disadvantages.
1t is interesting to know that crows
were employed in ancient times for this
purpose.-St Louis Republic.

Starting slightly, he turned around

there was no recognition in his gaze.

Then Morrison across the table called

''Oh, it's all right" he added, impa-
tiently, as Mrs. Coffin fingered with
some inquiry in her eyes; you needn't
be afraid"
Concluding that even if it were all
wrong she had nothing to fear, the
landlady went out at once and sent the
girl in.
Margery came with her pretty head
erect, and no fear in her innocent
eyes. But tumult was in her heart,
and at first she could not find voice to
answer his imperious greeting.
"May ask the meaning of this mas
querading, Miss Emerson? Whatever
it is, you certainly choose nice way
to disgrace both yourself and me-" he
said, still more angrily, after mo-
ment's pause, and then she flashed
upon him.
There never was any disgrace in
honest work! It's you who are in
much more danger of disgracing us
all. and perhaps you will think so your
self if your sclfishness and extrava-

All through this torrent of words her

now, looking stcrnly and seriously into
