THE ORCHESTRA.

Upon the mountains morning side
The players, all in fcathered coats,
On tree tops swing, in thiciets hide,
And sound preliminary notes.
The violinists here and there
Tune all their many strings unseen:
Long sloping tones are in the air,
With pizzicato bits between.
Hark, It's a flutes roulade so near
That revels gay and unafraid!
And there the clarinet rings clear
Its mellow trill from yonder glade
The gentle tappings of u drum
Sound where the bceches thinner grow |;
Nearer 4 humorist is come
Upon his droll bassoon to blow.
And now a cello from afar
Breathes out its human, dim appeal
A voice as from a distant star
Where mortals work their woe and veal
Then down sylvan aisle gaze,
And to my musing sense it seems
A leader mounts q stump and sways
His baton like man of dreams.
And here behold marvel wrought!
For marshaled in u concord sweet
The blending fragments all are brought
To tune and harmony complete
Is it u masterpiece that men
Have heard beforehand found 1t good9
Is this the Rhincland o er again?
Am / with Siegfried in the wood?
Nay. for this priceless hour tits mine
To share with natures audience
A symphony too rare and fine
For skill of human instruments.
Leader, what music hast thou stirred!
Players, still heed him every onel
And God be thanked for every bird
That sings beneath the summer sun.

Moving an Indian Settlement,

Many time, while the morning stars
We're still shining, have watched the
mother dismantle the tent poles, wrench
them out of their earth sockets, and lash
them, two Oh a side, to a meek pony
that had outlived his skittish days, and
was now to be trusted with the little
ones, who would ride in a comfortable
nest made Of the folded tent cover fas-
tened between the trailing poles. Before
ponies were obtainable dogs were the
burden bearers, and in some remote
places they are still used Great were
the snarls and quarrels incident to a
dog train. Often an irritable fellow
would find himself Oh his back or
caught by his poles, SO that he became
frantic with impotent rage. When ford
ing stream, the children and the pup
pies were carried over OH the backs of
women; the dogs and ponies had to
plunge for themselves. Tribal Life

Japanese Occultisrn .

You talk about Ahe miracles Of India,
but Japanese occultisN isn't to be de-
spised. The Indian adept will throw
a rope into the air and lasso all imagi-
nary peg, then climb up the rope, throw
it still higher and climb second time,
after which he will disappear altogether.
That is very well, and l should like to
see it done. Hermann says he can du-
plicate most things, but I imagine he
would be puzzled by this feat The Jap
anese adept is not behindhand with his
wonders. He has ladder, and III place
Of the ordinary rungs he has IL swords
as sharp as razors. After lot Of incan-
tations he begins to mount the ladder
and doesn't stop until he reaches the up
permost rung. I don't think I should
like to do it with bare feet, but it would
be delight to- see some one else do it
whose feet are not as valuable as mine
sre--.to me. The old song runs, II don t
know how to do it, but you do. New

An Ohstacie Easily surmouuted.

There nre, no doubt, nsurmountable
obstacles. But that barrier to the enjoy
ment OF health, chronic constipation, is
not among them. And this for the rea-
son that there is thorough, prompt and
non-griping medicinal agent, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, adapted to its relief, as
well as to the removal of those bilious
and dyspeptic symptoms which accom-
pany it. Violent purgatives, whether
miueral or vegetable, weaken the bowels
and disorder the stomach. The Bitters,
on the contrary, strengthens and regu-
lates them both. Moreover, it tranquil
lizes the nervous system, and is cure
for and medicinal safeguard against kid
ney and malarial compaints.y 1t is a
most genial and effective tonic, counter
acts the infrmities of age and promotes
convaescence. Sleep and appetite are
both benefited by its use. 1t is stand
ard remedy endorsed by the entire medi
cal fraternity.

RUSSIA NEARER TO US.
Plan for the Establishment o. fDirect I
Stea mship and Railway I,ines.


Steamship and Railway Lines.
NEW YORK, April IA deal which has
been under consideration for the past six
months will be consummated shortly where
by the United States and Russia will be put
In direct steamboat and railroad communi-
cation with each other. This means that
England will be cheokmated in her attempt
to run steamship line from Vancouver, b.
g., to connect with the Trans-S Siberian rail-
road, and that American and Russian inter-
ests will control instead.
Six months ago count Slavomir Moncoysky.
chief engineer Of the Amoor country, with
headquarters at Khabarovsk, Siberia, and
president Of the technical building commits
sion OF st. Petersburg, came to this country
for the purpose OF interesting American cap-
italists in the construction of steamship
line to connect San Francisco and Siberia.
Russia's original intention was to extend her
railroad to Nladivostock "a the eastern ter
minus, but events subsequent to count
Moncovsky's departure permitted q change
OF plan. The recent treaty between Russia
and China will permit Russia to use Port
Arthur or some Korean port as o terminus
for her road. The exact place has not been
determined, but 1t is probable Port Arthur
will be selected. Port Arthur is an open
port, whereas Vladivostock is closed by ice
four months of the year.
The TranS-Siberian railroad besides being
n military road, is designed to be the great
eastern highway Of Russian products. Not
only will it open up the vast territory of ST.
IBERIA but it will draw from China, Korea and
even India. On the other hand, a steam
ship line running direct from San Francisco
to Port Arthur and connecting with the rail-
way there will furnish direct means of
transportation for American products into
Russian territory. Russia is now pushing
