Another little drop has sunk into the
great ocean of infinity. Another
trembling ray from mans lite-Sun has
been sent upon it's mission through
measureless space. Another round has
been fashioned in the ladder of destiny
and before us is the new year. All
the mighty centuries. with their ag-
gregate creation of form from chaos,
have been built from these molecules
of time. As the coral in the depths of
the sea becomes the basic fragment of
continent only when it has yielded
up the body in which it was sensate
organism, so our years, precious to us,
thrilling with the emotions that mark
existence, become fragments of the
worlds history only when we lose our
grasp OF them and they are gone. They
become imperishable only when to us
they have dropped petal by petal their
days, and their color and fragrance
have departed.
Time is the most profound Of all
mysteries, the most unfathomable Of
all secrets. Intangible yet potent,
coming whence who can tell, going
whittier who knows? Each year is an
epitome of all that has come and gone,
since the first indestrnctible atom Of
matter displaced the darkness of pri-
mordial emptiness. and wandering on
the wings of ether found an orbit. and
became the nucleus of a universe. With
in the bosom of the years lies the
story Of man from the cradle to the
grave, the unwritten history Of unborn
nations; the rise and fall of empires,
systems and creeds; the riddle which
can never he read by mortal eyes. We
look at the past and strive to grasp its
meaning, to garner up few shcavcs Of
wisdom. We turn our eyes to the fu-
ture, enraptured at the mirage of wav-
ing fields Of untrodden effort. ready for
the sickle Of the mind, and looking

HEARS WITH HIS LEGS.
The Singular Accomplishment Of . Deaf
Telegraph Operator.

The novelty of a telegraph operator
whistle working day after day at his
instrument is one of the marvels pre-
scented at a telegraph station near this
city, says the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette. The man is about twenty
eight years old. He has been deaf
since he was about three years of age
as the result of an attack of scarlet
fever.
Being so extremely hard Of hearing,
the child'S sense of touch was developed
to the degree usually possessed by
blind persons. The slightest tap upon
Il table or upon wall, the rolling of
wagon wheel along the street, and all
similar SOUNDS were conveyed to him
by the consequent vibrations.
When about twelve years of age he
undertook the study of telegraphy.
Being favorite with the operator at
his home, he was given the run of the
office. All the mystic signs, dots and
daShcs of the profession were explained
to him. Day after day he could be
seen sitting at the table with his knees
pressed against it or resting his elbow
upon it. lie was literally feeling the,
messages as they were licked off over
the wire. Being naturally quick, it
was but a short time until he was able
t. correctly read any message coming
into the Office. Sending came just as
easy, and today, after sixteen years
service at the key and sounder, he is
just as fine an operator as there is in
the country. OF late years his hearing
has improved to such an extent hat he.
can easily hear the Sounder, but the
old habit of listening with his knee or
elbow still clings to him. and that u
the way all his messages arc read.

eaatle mushrooms from poisonous fungi
can be taken as quite reliable.
Sprinkle a little salt on the spongy
p,,t ar gills Of the sample to be tried -
ID .aay turn yellow they are poisonous,
aIack they are wholesome. Allow
salt to act before you decide the
question twill require several minutes.
False mushrooms have warty
cap. or else fragments Of membrane ad-
herring to the upper surface; they are
hasyy, and emerge from 4 vulva or bag;
they grow up in tufts or clusters in
woods Or on stumps of trees. Mush-
grow ia pastures.
False mushrooms have au astrin-
at styptie and disagreeable taste;
then cut they turn blue; they are moist
tae surface, and they are of a rose OF
ange color. The gills of the true
mushrooms are Of a pinkey red, chang
Ing to liver color; the flesh is white,
aud the stem is white, solid and cyliu-
dacal The skin can be peeled off just
his you would peel a peach. A false
mushroom will not peel.
