Our Proposed New National Park.

This proposed new National park lies
in the State of Washington, in the very
heart of that vast and sombre forest
which, stretching northward from the
Columbia river far into the solitudes
of the British Possessions, muffies in a
dark pail of verdure the whole long
western SLOPE of the Cascades. Here
the heavy lain laden clouds blown in
from the Pacific, finding their east
ernward flight barred by the mountain
barricade, pour down upon the region
an annual rainfall of fifty inches. 1t

cedar and spruce, the heavy festooning
moss and the deeptangled underground

Charity In a Mining Camp.

Bishop Whitaker relates a pathetic
story OF life in the California mining
camp, A man named Jim East had
struggled hard and prepared to bring
his wife and child from the East. After
she started on the trip he died of pneu-
monia. The miners quit work to bury
him according to their custom. The
funeral services were hardly over when
the stranger arrived at camp, the stage
arrival being the incident of the day.
The town was full of miners, the sa.
looms were full, but when the stage ar
rived the usual crowd gathered around.
Two or three men got out of the stage,
then they helped some one else out.
There was Il sudden movement of the
crowd forward tn see what those near
the stage were looking at. A little wo-
man stepped down and the words pass
around the 400 men encircling the stage.
"I''s jim Eust's widow and child"
They passed the child around from arm
to arm and kissed her, and those who
couldn't get near enough to kiss reach
ed forward to touch the child's cheek
or dress, and the whole crowd of hardy
men set u swaying and weeping. Some
one cried out: Lets make her IA stake..n
and the crowd soon raised $4,000 for
Jim East's widow and child.
Thisis more than a good many Quincy
church people would have done.

thought of a Conference of Ministers
befouling sacred ediices and private
homes by the british scattering of to

blush OF shame and apprehension to
the cheek of every right minded man
and woman. The use of tobacco is a
burning, splitting, sinking, eXtrava-

and you can t with any show of reason
deny it. Hit 'em again. Brother

Ladies' Names.

Fancy names are not as popular
with Indies as might be supposed, The
question having arisen in conversation
the other day it was referred offhand
to Il catalogue of Smith college. The
Boston Transcript reports the result:
I'm that institution there are six hun
dred and ninety six girls, from all parts
OF the country, representing undoubt-
eddy the rich and the poor, but more
particularly the thoroughly American
class Of people who are neither rich nor
poor, In this catalogue the Marys, Alices,
Mables, Helens, Berthas, Graces, Ediths
and Elizabeths were all counted up.
These were found to be much the most
common names, and those who believe
that woman in general are still pos.
sessed of as much common sense as
they ever were, in spite of the fondness
OF some woman for new and pretty
names, were pleased to learn from lis
list that one OF the most beautiful of
all names, the name OF Mary, is still
mostcommonly borne by young women.
There are in Smith college no fewer
than sixty eight Marys, not counting
middle names. The next name in pop.
ularity was the beautiful one of Alice,
which had twenty seven representa-"
tiyes. Then came Elijah tn, also suf-
tciently old fashioned, with twenty
five. The next in rank was Mable,
twenty two; Grace, twenty one, and
Helen, twenty one. Seventeen girls
bore the English name of Edith-old
but newly revived-and seventeen the
pretty name of Bertha, which we have
borrowed from the Germans. The Do
rothys apparently had but a single rep.
resentative. 1t is certainly gratifying
to learn that the Mamie fad has about
disappeared, and the sweet, dlgnifed
''old fashioned" names are once more
popular.

This is Meant for You.

1t has been truly said that half the
world does not know how the other half
lives. Comparatively few OF us have
perfect health, owing to the impure
condition Of our blood. But we rul
along from dav to day, with scarcely a
thought, unless sorced to our attention,
of the thousands all about us who are
suffering from scrofula, salt rheum and
other serious blood disorders, and whose
agonies can only be imagined. The
marked success of Hoods Sarsaparilla
for these troubles, as shown in our ad
vertising columns frequently, certainly
see S to justify urging the use OF this
excellent medicine by all who know
that their blood is disordered. Every
claim in behalf of Hood Sarsaparilla
is fully backed up by what the medi,
cine has done and is still doing, and
when its proprietors urge its merits and
its use upon all who suffer from impure
blood, in great or small degrees, they
certainly mean to include you.

Prevention Is Better

Than cure, and those who are subject
to rheumatism can prevent attacks by
keeping the blood pure and free from
the acid which causes the disease. You

Three White Roses.

Three white roses filled the air
with sweetness-three white roses,
strong stemmed, long and leafy, with
petals of waxen fineness and velvet
s~oftness. They swayed in the tall,
clear glass that held them. They
shone against the dull red of the wall
against which they We're placed with
q sort of radiance. They seemed
more than mere flowers. They Were
angelic messengers.
She sat and watched them through
her long lashes. She was like them
slender, 1.-the and strong, cold and
beautiful. The white gown that she
wore was clasped with a cord the
color of the leaves. Her small, well
poised head was set upon her neck
with the grace of one of the blossoms
on its stem. She watched them with
an inscrutable expression on her face.
1t was almost as though she We're of
their race and We're listening to them
speaking for her ear alone.
A sudden breeze passed through
the room. A waXen petal fell from
a rose. She started suddenly from
her revere. She smiled contemp-
tuously as she moved from the chair.

Grants CooIne,s Under Eire.

The day the outer lines of Peters
burg were carried and the troops
We're closing up upon the inner lines
the general halted near a house Oh u
piece of elevated ground which over
looked the field. The position was
under fire, and the enemy's batteries
seemed to pay particular attention to
the spot, noticing perhaps the group
of officers collected there and believ-
ing that some of the Union COM
manders We're among them.
The general was engaged in writ
ing some dispatches and paid no at
tention whatever to the shots falling
about him. Members of the staff re-
marked that the place was becoming
a target and suggested that he move
to a less conspicuous position, but he
seemed to pay no attention to the aid
vice given. After he had finished his
dispatches and taken another view
of the enemy's works, he quietly
mounted his horse and rode slowly
to another part of the field, remark
ing to the officers about him, with a
jocose twinkle in his eye, We'll,
they do seem to have the range on
us."-General Horace Porter in Nc

Some of the most dangerous tricks
Of animals IRE those of stimulating
Kindness. Charles Montague, in
Tales of "a Nomad," says that hyenas
often follow lions and finish a car
cas- the moment the lions have left
it. Sometimes, however. the hyenas
are too eager and steal bits of meat
while the lions are still at their meal.
Il have been told that the lion rids
himself of the nuisance in the follow
ing way: He throws a piece of meat
aside. When the lion is looking the
other way, the hyena lodges in and
rushes off with the meat. Presently
the lion throws another piece OF
meat, this time a little nearer. The
hyena takes hat also. AT last the
lion throws a piece very near indeed.
The hyena, having become reckless,
makes a dash at this also, but the
lion wheels round and lays him low
with a pat of his paw and a growl of
annoyance.
Il remember at the Usutu on N
occasion hearing at night the cries of
a hyena in pain, mingled with an &C
casional short growl from a lion.
This went on for about ~ minutes.
The next morning we found the car
cass of a hyena bitten across the
neck and marked by the claws of
lions. They had evidently caught it
and played with it some time before
killing it. suppose this was done
in VEN for the they
had sustained from the hyenas."

A Rif of Kuskin,s Wisdom.

ALI rivers, small or large, agree in
one character-they like to lean alt
tie on one side. They cannot bear to
have their channels deepest in the
middle, but will ways, if they can,
have one bank to -un themselves up
on and another to get cool under; one
shingly shore to play over, where
they may be shallow and foolish and
childlike, and another steep shore IN
der which they can pause and purify
themselves and get their strength of
waves fully together for due occa-
sions. Rivers in this way are just
like wise men, who keep one side of
their lives for play and another for
work and can be brilliant and chat
tering and transparent when they
r at ease. and yet take deep coun-
sci on the other side when they get
themselves to the main purpose.
