Retrospect
[LOS ANGELES.

A breath OF balm-of orange bloom
BY what strange fancy waited ms
Through the lone starlight of my room?
And suddenly So EN- to see
The long, low vale with tawny edge
OF hillside, in the sunset glow;
Cool vine rows, through the cactus hedge,
And futtering CLEANS of orchard snow.
Far off the slender line of white,
Against the blue of oceans crest;
The slow sun sinking into night,
quivering opal III the vest;
Somewhere stream sings, far away
Somewhere, from out the hidden groves,
And dreamy as the dying day.
Comes the soft coo of mourning doves
One moment all the world is peace!
The years, like clouds, have rolled away,
And am on those sunlit leas
A child, amid the flowers, at play.

Could Not Kill the Rope.

Mr., w. II. Hudson, writing of animal
life OH the great South American pampas,
where there are many kinds Of snakes,
both venomous and nonvenomous says
that their enemies are legion. But perhaps
tho most notable of snake killers is the
large lizard known as the iguana. The
iguara Is no mean adversary, us may be
Judged from the fact that dogs which at
tack one sometimes como off with n broken
leg. The lizard does not wait for the snake
to take the offensive, but goes swiftly in
pursuit, and being very rapid in its mo-
tions seldom has any difficulty in over
taking its victim, which it dispatches by
blows of its powerful tail.
A friend of Mr.. Hudson was out riding
after his cattle. His lasso was attached to
the saddle, and the end trailed along the
ground after him. A big iguana lay in
the sun apparently asleep. 1t paid no at
tention to the horse as it passed, but the
next instant it raised its head and fixed its
attention on the 40 feet Of lasso slowly
trailing by. Suddenly it rushed after the
rope and dealt it n succession of violent
blows with its tail. When the whole Of
the lasso, several yards Of which had been
pounded in vain, had been dragged by, the
lizard, with uplifted head, continued gaz-
ing after it with the greatest establishment.
Never before had such wonderful snake
crossed It's path.-Youth' Companion.

The tourist on his tour is among us, and
included in the number are many refined
and cultivated Americans of the sort one
is glad to have here rs pcripatetic exhibits
of the civilization of the northern republic.
But as on the "continong" there are tour
lists and tourists, SO here one encounters
some rare and entertaining specimens.
In an interior city week ago met at
little hotel an American travelling for
his health who spent his time cndeavor-
ing to cconomize his cash. He passed two
hours one night devising how he might
walk to the station ut u. IN. and SO save
10 cents car faro. He was great big econ
omizer and had digested Poor Richards
Almanac" A penny saved was a penny
earned. That his hotel did not furnish
him with matches worried this poor Rich
ard. Three cents out of u dollar that he
had given a waiter to get him box of
matches completely unstrung him, and his
nerves became cntunglcd like telephone
wires in the line gale, He talked to me
sadly and in deep, husky voice for 10
minutes regarding this abuse. Then he
had row with the waiter, and how it
would have resulted do not know had
not informed him that the waiter in ques-
ton was the man who was to call him at
1880 to catch his train, and that possibly
the waiter might purposely oversleep him
self.
Another day In this hotel which does
not furnish matchesP" he cried. 81 can
not stand that" l limited that n dime
given then and there to the waiter might
serve as winding up of his internal alarm
clock, but my poor Richard did not see it.
This man, who missed all the charming
sights of n very interesting city because he
used up his time in discussing petty
charges, is type Of sort of man who
should never travel. He looked frank and
honest but he was 'clus ez the bark to a
tree. boston Herald.

THE SHEAF OF DAYS,

From full sheaf In youth we bravely draw
Each morning one light arrow, which is sen,
BY strength Of arm, impclled by hidden law
Until its force is spent.
Some shafts go well and true, and some 20 Ill,
Beyond our vision others droop and fall;
Fair shots are others, sped by strength of will,
While some fly not at all.
In later days the sheaf Is not so full.
Our arms are weak; the darts but feebly go
From lifeless cords our stiffening fingers pull
To bend the sullen bow.
And some have straighter shafts and better
bows.
And keener vision others, but no hand
fhe journey of single arrow knows
Or how It's flight Is planned.

is of eastern origin. The largest found in
the Gulf of California did not exceed an
