Waste of Gold.

1t Is not generally known, even In
California, that hundreds of thousands
of pounds In gold are annually taken
from the rude heaps Of base-looklng
quartz by the flowing Of water over
huge piles of broken rocks that con-
tain the precious metal. The water used
By the miners Is charged with simple
chemical which has the potency to dis
solve gold and hold 1t in solution. This
IL cyanide of potassium, a poisonous
drug, which ferrets out the minutest
particles OF the metal. During the last
five years the process has been almost
universally adopted, and more than
$4,000. 900 has thus been recovered.

THE WISE.

When storms with wintry muster come, and
Jove beats loud his thunder drum.
1 sit beside the fire and hum the song that
cheers the wise.
When friends are false and patrons frown,
and banking shares go swiftly down.
Weep not! The cross becomes a crown, by
magic of the wise.
Nurse not your sorrow; though the clouds
be dark today.
God sends tomorrow the bright and cheer
ing ray.
When hireling scribes retail their lies, and
keen the shaft of slander flies,
1 see cherub in the sky that smiles upon
the wise.
Spur not your sorrow; though the tempest
rave today,
God sends tomorrow the peaceful beaming
May,
When juggling statesmen trim their sails
to catch whff from shifting gales,
I walt the hour when truth prevails, and
triumph with the wise.
Dream not to borrow peace from factions
battling waves:
He reapeth sorrow who trusts in fools and
knaVes.

TROUBLES OF CHICAGO FARMERS.

There is likely to be serious trouble
soon in that extensive section OF Illinois
which, to the eye and reason, is rural 20
the very verge of wildness, but which,
by an amusing legal fiction, forms q
material part of Chicago's greatness
as city. OF course, many OF the scat
tered inhabitants of this region do not
vet know that their farms are not farms
at all, but collections of lots" traversed
by imaginary avenues and streets, and
subject to urban ordinances and regula-
tions. Other dwellers in the district do
know these things. and they are taking
advantage of their superior wisdom, to
the great annoyance of their neighbors.
One Of these malicious fellows, for in
stance, has just pretended to be dis
turbed by the growing of a rooster kept
by somebody living a mile or two away,
and has had the birds owner dragged
from home and children to a distant
court and fined SIG. so for breaking the
law against keeping domestic animals
within the city limits. This outrageous
proceeding, naturally enough, has sent
thrill of mingled rage and fear all
through the state. Way up to the Wis
consin line and almost as far west as
the Mississippi, farmers are worrying
about their cattle and hogs, as we'll as
about their roosters. No one knows
whether he is real countryman. with a
right to keep such stock as he pleases,
or whether he is a resident of Chicago
and allowed to keep none at all. Every
man with an enemy is in mortal terror
lest possibly he Is in danger of fine and
imprisonment, and public meetings are
holding all through that region at which
the most vehement denunciations Of
Chicago and its people are uttered

Princess Massimo then offered Donna
Elvira a home with her for awhile in
Rome, but soon becoming frightened of
the responsibility which she incurred,
she begged Don Carlos to take back his
daughter The latter was. in fact, con-
tinually crying for her lover. and her
reason seemed to be affected. Before
Don Carlos could remove the princess
from Rome, she packed up her jewelry
and started for Viarregglo. There she
met Folchi. who took her to Genoa and
thence to France. The pair first met at
Viarreggio where Don Carlos has
chateau. Folchi belongs to the Roman
aristocracy, and is related to a cardinal,
while his brother, an ecclesiastic, was
formerly one of the confidential men
around the pope. The painter was once
wealthy, but lost his money during some
of the recent financial crises common in
Rome. Being naturally gifted with a
taste for drawing he set to work to util-
ize his talents, and was enabled to make
money thereby. Signor Folchi is fine
looking man of 35, and the princess, who
Is very graceful but not remarkably
pretty, seems to have fallen desperately

TIME.

One deeply poetical idea, above all
Others seems to have taken hold of him !;
the idea of Time. This deep mystery of
ever flowing Time; bringing forth, and
as the ancients wisely tabled, devouring
what it has brought forth rushing on,
in us, yet above US, all uncomfortable by
US; and under it, dimly visible athwart
it, the bottomless Eterna[this Is in
deed what We may call the primary idea
of poetry; the first idea that introduces
itself into the poetic mind. And not the
first idea only, but the greatest prop
erly the parent of all others. For if it
can rise in the remotest ages, in the
rudest states of culture, wherever an in
spired thinker happens to exist, it con-
meets itself still with all great things;
with the highest results of new philos-
ophy. as of primeval theology; and for
the poet, in particular. is ais the life of
element, wherein alone his conceptions
can take poetic form, and the whole
world become miraculous and magical

THE SULTAN AND ELECTRICITY.

The sultan seems to have a curious
mingled liking for and dread of cleo
tricity. Mr.. Burgin tells in Cassell's
Magazine that some years ago he caused
to be erected In the grounds of Yildiz
Kiosk a small theater lighted by incan-
descent lamps. One day he saw the
workmen trenching the walls In order
to bury the wires leading from the en-
gine room to the theater, and stopped
the work, insisting that the wires should
all be placed in sight on poles, as he
feared that otherwise they might be
used to produce an explosion! He had
also an electrical boat on a small lake,
an English dog cart driven by cleo
tricity, and q tiny electrical tram-ca
upholstered in blue satin and gold
which runs in circle. It is said tina h
has never yet ventured inside any of
these vehicles: and also that he has for
bidden the use Of telephones In Con-
stantinople lest murderous conspira-
c.es should be devised over the wires!

A HUMMING-B1RD's UMBRELLA.

In front Of a window where worked
last summer was butternut tree. A
humming-bird built her nest on q limb
that grew near the window, and we had
an opportunity to watch her closely.
In fact, We could look right into the
nest. One day when there was heavy
shower coming up we thought we would
see If she covered her young during the
rain. Well, when the first drops fell
she came and took in her bill one of two
or three large leaves growing close by,
and laid this leaf over the nest so as to
completely cover it; then she flew away
On examining the leaf, we found hole
in 1t, and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened
to or hooked upon. After the storm
was over the old bird came back and un-
hooked the leaf and the nest was per-
fectly dry.-American Sportsman.

THE FOOLS PRAYER.

The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish care,
And to his Jester cried. "Sir fool,
Kneel now and make for US prayer"
The Jester doffed his cap and bells
And stood the mocking court before.
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silken stool
His pleading voice arose-"O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool.
"Tis not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and right. o Lord, we stay;
'Ts by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
"These clumsy feet. still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard well-meanng hands we thrust
Among the heart-strings of friend
9TH ill-timed truth we might have kept
Who knows how sharp 1t pierced and
stung?
The word we have not sense to say
Who knows how grandly it had rung:
"Our faults no tenderness should ask;
The chastening stripes must cleanse them
ALL
But for our blunders-oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven We fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave and scourge the
That did their will; but Thou. o Lord,

Trooping, crowding. big and small.

Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by, TN

From the weary bed Of pain
This same questio comes again:
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize:
From the bronzed and bearded son
Perils past and honors won
"Where's mother?"
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let US love her while we may.

The fruit formed splendidiy. There has

the gale came along and changed the as

suffered the most. So fierce was the gale
that whole branches were torn from the
trees. Small fruit escaped without much
damage. II is estimated that half OF the
apple crop Is lost, and nearly as much in
pears and plums. Peaches suffered some.
