A GLIMPSE OF sPIRITLAND.

Beautiful souls, pure and white,
Dwelling in homes of love and light;
Beautiful land, fresh and green,
Where there's no decay, or lapse of time.
Beautiful flowers, fadeless and sweet;
Which bloom in that land where our loved ones
meet
Oh, happy greeting when the heart tlrobs fall
And we pass from sight behind the vail.
Beautiful land oh, beautiful sight;
Shining spirits in robes of whte;-
Beautiful trees and beautiful birds,
Beautiful songs with loving words,
Beau iful waters and beautiful skies,
Lovely homes with tender ties;
IT'S far more beautiful than can tell
Our home and scenes beyond the vail.
Beautiful schools are in that world,
And loving teachers for young and DID,
Where grandest wisdom and love conspire
To lift wise souls to heights still higher.
Beautiful valleys and beautiful hills;
Flower gemmed plains, with rivers and rills,-
And lovely lakes where the white lilies TRAIL
Ever blooming and fragrant beyond the vail.
Beautiful gardens beyond compare,
Where lovely fountains bedew the air;
No sin or death on that pure Shore
Only life and love forevermOre.
No sickness or pain, no gloom or storm;
No selfshness. no hate, no wrong
But sweetest peace and joy prevail
In our beautiful home beyond the vail.

Swans as Storm Signals.

farmer on Sauvie's Island, in the
Lower Columbia, has three swans which
be CAPTURED a year or two ago. They
are quite tame, and he allows them to
run at large in field near the house.
A sportsman who spent a few days with
the farmer recently, enjoying duck
hunting, was astonished on going home
one evening to hear the farmers wife
say:
at is going to storm; the swans have
been flying south all day."
He remarked that he had been out
all day and had not seen swan flying
in any direction.
ooh! | mean our swans" was the
reply.
1t was then explained that when the
weather was going to be fine and spring
like the three swans in the field went
to the north end and futtered their
wings, trying to get away toward the
Arctic regions, and when a storm was
approaching they did the same thing at
the south end of the feld.-Spokane

of this story-had an apt illustration on
his lips the other day, and he would
have given the Senate the benefit of it
if he had not noticed Mr.. Bland sitting
on the Democratic side Of the chamber
The senator had been criticising the
language of. the selgniorage bill. Mr..
Bland is the author Of that bill, and is
from Missouri. 81 wanted to tell the
Senate" said this Western senator, "of
the story of the two men who were dis
cussing an article which one of them
had read. After one man had criticised
it pretty freely, he turned to the other
and said: Are you q grammarian? p

Money Life of a Dress.

What is the money life of a dress? is
question that, not long ago, puzzled
lawyers and jurymen. A woman is
mentioned by a writer in the New York
Times who owning number of expen-
sive and handsome gowns had them
practically ruined by smoke and water
through a fire in her home. There was
an insurance covering wearing apparel,
but the matter of satisfactory adjust
ment of values had to be taken into
court before it could be settled Here
the legal wits fought royal battle.
Dreesmakers and society women were
produced as experts ~ both contest
ants, and in the course of the testi-
mony some interesting facts about
gowns came out. From many witnesses
the conclusion was finally reached that
wearing an evening or dinner-dress ten
times practically exhausted its availi-
bility in the original form; after that it
was only worth the value Of material
which could be utilized iii other ways
In the case in question it was finally
decided, as the contestant admitted the
gowns for the most part had been long
laid aside because she had not been So
cially active for some years, that they had
settled to merely their material value,
and judgment was finally rendered on
this basis

An Extended Search in the Gulf De-
velops Nothing Unusual.
The United States coast survey steam"
er Blake has returned from cruise off
the mouth of the Mississippi, looking
for the shoal which Capt. Horges, Of the
Albert Dumois, reported having found
there. The point indicated by. Capt.
Horges was ten miles from the jettles,
the latitude and longitude being given:
The Blake sounded there, but could
find no water less than 100 fathoms
deep. It is thought by officers of that
vessel. however, that Capt. Horges
may be slightly off his bearings. as the
weather was very foggy at the time the
shoal was discovered, and further
survey will be made, the Blake leaving
here for that purpose. 1t is expected
to find the shoal further out from the
passes, twenty-five miles or more from
the .ietties where the sediment from
South Pass is carried seward by the
westerly current. If this is SO it will
not endanger the success of the jetties.
The shoal reported discovered by the
captain of the steamer Prof. Morse, 125
miles out in the gulf, is denied by the
captain of the Alice, who declares that
it is simply an ocean phenomenon of q
patch of green water surrounded by
blue, which can be crossed in three
hours. The cause of the greenness of
the water is not known, but it is not due
to a shoal, as the Alice could find no
bottom there at the depth of $50 faith

Some of the Most Dangerous DeceptiOns
Are Simulations of Kindness.
Some of the most dangerous tricks OF
animals are those Stimulating kindness.
Hvenas often follow lions, and finish a
carcass the moment the lions have lett
it. Sometimes, however, the hyenas
are too eager, and steal bits of meat
W hiie the lions are still at their meal.
| 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 little nearer. The hyena
takes that 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 growl of annoyance.
| remember at the Usutu on one oc-
casion hearing at night the cries Of a
hvena in pain, mingled with an occa-
sionaI short growl from a lion. This
went on for about twenty minutes. The
next morning we found the carcass 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. I sup
pose this was done in revenge for the
annoyance they had sustained from the
hyenas. Charles Montague, IN Tales of a

Payne's Un paid Salary.

When John Howard Payne, the au-
Tunis, in 1852, the government owed
him $209.92 salary as consul at that
place. 1t has been owing it ever since.
Payne's heirs are now trying TO get
Congress to make an appropriation to
discharge the obligation. If compound
interest should be reckoned on the sum
for the forty -one years that have elapsed
the heirs of the poet would receive a
comfortable fortune. However, the bill
that has been introduced for their reiei
only appropriates the amount Of the
original claim, $20992, which is not
enough to fight over. The government
does not allow interest on unclaimed
money left in it's possession.

The Wedding Journey.

The iconoclastic scientist, in his
efforts to perfect human health, has at
tackled even the wedding journey. An
exchange SAYS that "the custom which
obtains so generally of taking fatiguing
journey as part of the nuptials is re-
garded by high authority as one Of the
barbarisms of civilization. Let us illus
trate the injurious physical tendencies
by typical case. During extremely
cold weather there occurs wedding,
which, from the standing Of the parties,
attracts some attention. The happy
couple, we are told, are off for their
wedding trip to a still more frigid sec
ton of country. Though conscious Of
danger and discomfort to some extent,
which is greatly increased by their in
experience in travelling, they cheerfully
assume the risk and responsibility,
as to all married couples a bridal
tour seems to be considered as abso-
lutelv essential to give the marital
union an importance without which it
would, in their opinion, be unromantic
and but partial marriage. The tour
causes fatigue, exposure and excite
mept, making regularity Of life impossi
BILE; in fact, the act involves the reverse
of all that the rules Of health and physi
ology require. Again, it constantly hap
pens in the case of both sexes that a
slight indisposition, which passed I'M
noticed in the hurry Of preparation, is
aggravated to a serious and even fatal
extent by the excitement, exposure and
neglect on wedding tour. No man, for
instance. would think of postponing his
marriage on account of slight cold.
If he stayed at home aiterward and took
care of himself, it would pass away like
