 EARTHLY TREASURES.
 Our worldly goods-how dear they are to most of us! How many have clung to life, even when aged, lonely, feeble and friendless, because jewels and bonds, treasures of art or litera- ture, must all be left behind when the strange voyage into unknown seas be- gins!
 And thts pride of possession is not a trait of the mature mind alone:. it makes itself felt very early in life, with the first dolls or necklace or pocket knife. And is there ever thrill of satisfaction so keen as that which stirs the soul of the urchin when for the first time he is invested with those coveted garments-a pair of trousers? [? The subject has been attempted repeat edly yet brush or pen is there none that can do it justice. E$
 This joyful, collaborating experience, has lately come to a small boy of the writer's acquaintance. The pretty kits were laid aside. and with them went no small share of his childish beauty. The absurd little jacket and trousers gave him much the appearance of 8 brownie" but the expression of radiant delight that illumined his face almost atoned for the grace that was lost in this transformation., When the youth marched into the kindergnrten, trousered and jubilant, the excitement was intense. Admiration or envy. or the two conmingled, shone on every face. Fortunately; the. tactful teacher

"They can see a great deal more when 1t is only half full, for then the rising sun shines on it. and all the mountains, valleys, and even the shad- ows can be destinctly observed. When the moon is full it simply looks like a blur, or at best map"

About a month ago party of forty or fifty Spokane and Calispel Indians visited their friends, the Kootenais, on the Kootenai reservation in Washington State. Their ostensible purpose was trade, and their real object gambling. They did up the Kootenais brown, and after a stay of some three weeks left for home. taking with them al- most everything the Kootenais pos sessed. All the winter supplies of the Kootenais are gone, and most of them have lost even their blankets and are in pitiable plight at the beginning of the winter. So serious Is their plight that they are even asking for work in order to live through the winter.

M. E. Ames, of Stoneham, Massachu- sets, in order to test the alleged trans mission of tuberculosis by the use of milk and meat of diseased cows, of- kers to submit himself to the experiment of drinking daily quart of unsteril- lzed milk, and eating pound of cooked flesh, which have been taken from cows affected with tuberculosis. MT. Ames says: During the trial I will submit myself to daily examination by any physician approved by the authorities of the Massachusetts General Hospital, and will cease it whenever they shall order me to do so, or when they say that I have any more indications of consumption than I have at the be- ginning of the trial" Probably he would come out all right, and some man who took but one drink or one bite would die.

lndurtry, Dr. w. l.. Austin says that the future of nickel depends largely on that of nickel-steel, which is now being tested for armor plate. If it proves to be greatly superior than ordinary steel the demand for nickel will result in cheapening the wasteful processes now used in reducing it. As result of the costliness of such processes, the output of nickel is so limited that in 1889 1t did not exceed one-half to one-third that of silver. The principal deposits are in New Caledonia and the province of On. tario, Canada, though it is found ir New York, ard is widely distributed in both the United States and Europe.

TRAIL COUNTY,

The Journal says 1t IL not true that
Trail county is figuring on a $4,000
court house, but Hil.sboro has built
one for $4,000 and presented it to
the county.
Trail county this last spring had a
special election to bond the county to
build court house for some go, 900.
The bonds were voted down BY the
people because Hillsboro had gone
back on just such a proposition as
that made by Cavalier In the present
case. Hi!lsboro tried to build a &c.
600 court house all right. II she has
built one for $40, 600, she has done Il
to hold the county seat, which
legally docs not vet belong to
Hillsboro. but for which that town
has been fighting for twelve years,
and is still afraid It will lose.
