A VOLCANIC WONDER.

The Largest District of This Sort LO-
Gated in the Northwest.
The entire absence of easily-recog
nized volcanic craters in the eastern
part of the United States has tended to
create the impression that in volcanoes
this country is below the average. But
to dispel this notion it is only necessary
to make a trip through the northwest.
In Washington, Oregon, California, Ne
vada and Idaho is the largest volcanic
district In the world. The Lassen peak
volcanic ridges, the most general fca-
ture in the district, resulted chiefly from
superficial accumulations of material
thrown out from within the earth and
piled up in mountain masses about
the point of exit. From the summit
of Lassen peak, looking northeast,
dark and desolate lava field and crater
are pointed out as the ''Cinder Cone"
This may be comfortably reached ON
horseback, but camping outfit is rec
essary, as there is no settlement near
the place.
Approaching the region the traveller
first encounters a sprinkling of the
fine volcanic sand and small bits of dark
brown pumice spread on the ground.
This increases as he goes, until the
sand gives character to the whole land
scape, imparting a dull dark blue to
the soft earth, and rendering travel
difficult. When first seen on nearer
view, Cinder cone gives the impression
Of newness. One looks in vain for steam
rising from the crater, and feels disnp-
pointed at seeing none
Charred trunks of trees attest the
great heat of the place in recent times,
but one cannot find on the living trees
a trace of volcanic sand that might
have lodged in knot holes as it fell. The
dull, somber aspect of the slopes is
greatly relieved on the southeast side
by the carmine and orange-colored
Lapilh, so that from distance it has
the pleasing hues of a sunset.
The strangeness of the scene is great
ly enhanced by the almost complete alb
sence of vegetation Only two small
bushes cling upon the outer slopes to
give life to the barren cone. No white
man or Indian now living is known 10
have been an eye witness to the erup-
ton, and it must be remembered that
such an eruption would not leave the
people of that region in doubt as to what
was happening.
A number of perEons now living in
the Sacramento valley, who crossed the
emigrant trail at the base of the cone
IN 1858, say that the lonely bushes
growing near the summit were APP
parently as large as now. Whatever
may be the historical testimony as to
the time of the eruption, the geologic
evidence clearly shows it before the be-
ginning of this century.-N. Y Jour

a scarecrow for MOSQUITOES,

John Habberton states with the sol
emnity of firm conviction that mos
quitoes are extremely frightened ~
dragon flies and will not come within
yards of them. He says that one or
two dried dragon flies suspended from
fine silk under the roof of an oIen
porch infested by mosquitoes will Scare
all of the little pests away, and they viii
not come back while the dragon flies are
there. This, he says, he has tried with
surprising results. 1t is a well-kno+vn
fact that dragon flies are predatory and
voracious. insects, and that they sab
sist largely upon gnats. midges and
mosquitoes, and it is but natural that
the mosquito, who is a wise insect,
should regard the SPINDLE ''darn'ng
needle" or dragon fly as the small bird
regards the hawk.-Newark Call.

IN THE OTHER DAYS.

When hearts turn. back 20 the .othersaays,
Where youth ran on in fiowery ways,
Tears blot the lines Of times long scroll
And silent sadness fills the soul. = af
The other days." when time was young,
When gladness sang from every tongue
So fair grace the vision wears
That man forgets his present cares -
Clearly before him doth arise
~ vision dear to boyish eyes:
A slender girlish figure stands
Welcoming him with open hands
Within her eyes a light there shines
Whose meaning he but half divines;
A reverent fear forbids the plea
He longs to make on Bonded knee.
Fate's hour flies They lightly part,
With sad-sweet yearning in each young
heart
A dream, perhaps, of glorious land.
Where two might wander, hand in hand
The years that pass, to girl and boy,
Bring equal measure of pain and joy;
He out in the world at lifes behest,
She sheltered still in the old home nest.
Widely apart lie the paths they took;
Yet she, at home in her quiet nook,
Perchance, day-dreaming may backward
gaze
To the boyish homage of other days:
AS oft, when the world frowns colo and
grim,
And the prize he seeks seems far and dim,
The present fades and before his sight
She stands as fair as she stood that night.
The time turns back and the fragrance
rare
OF her garden sweetens the heavy air.;
1t beareth the penetrant, rich perfume
OF her Grim son rose trees royal bloom.
The day departs, nights shades descend,
Twilight and darkness Subtly blend,
And the words he breathes are prayer
of praise
For q feeting glimpse of the other days.

A Battery of Eyes.

A method of REFRESHING the splitting
habit, against which they are now max
ing crusade in Baltimore, is suggested
by a Baltimore woman. This is her
plan: whenever a male passenger on
a street car begins to expectorate let
every woman aboard just look steadily
at him. There need be no especial
severity expressed by the look, nor an
excess of indignation or rebuke, for too
much feeling shown in a glance, if the
guilty fellow were inclined to be coarse,
might subject one to an insulting re-
mark. But each female face should
wear well-bred air of offended del
icacy and surprise. There is not a wom-
an out of ten in this city. will venture
to assert, who will not understand how
to express all these emotions in single
look and not overdo TN. Y World.

CHAPTER XVI

After the business of transferring
the mine to its new owner was COM
pleted, John Kenyon went to the tel
cgraph Office and sent a short cable
message to Wentworth. Then he
turned his steps to the hotel, an utter
ly exhausted man. The excitement AMI
tension of the day had been too much
for him, and he felt that, if he did not
get out of the city of Ottawa and into
the country, where there were fewer
people and more air, he was going to
3e i'll. He resolved to leave for the
mine as soon as possible. There he
would get things in as good order as
possible and keep things going until
he heard from the owner. When he
got to his hotel he wrote to Went
worth, telling the circumstances under
which he secured the mine, rather
briefly, and dealing with other more
personal matters. Having posted this,
he began to pack his portmanteau pre-
paratory to leaving early next morn
ing. While thus occupied the bell boy
came to his room and said: There is
a gentleman wishes to see YOU"

Besides, I think you were entirely in

holding out her hand to him, and the
next moment she was gone.
George Wentworth turned to his desk
and wrote letter Of apology. Then

incomprehensible nature of women.
''She makes me apologize to him, and
quite right, too, but if it hadn't been
for the row with her father, she never
would have heard about the transac-
ton, and therefore couldn't have
bought the mine, which she was anxious
to do for Kenyon's sake-lucky beggar

Captain Who Would Not Desert Would
ed Seaman Rewarded by the Queen
The queen lately conferred the deco.
ration of the Albert medal of the first
class on William John huffman, late
master of the steamer Aidar, of Liver
pool. The following is an account of
the services in respect of which the dec
Grafton has been offered: At two a. n.
on January 10, while the steamer Stat
fordshire of Liverpool was on d voyage
from Marseilles to Port Said, signals of
distress were observed to be proceeding
from the steamer Aidar, also of Liver
pool, and the Staffordshire immedi-
ately proceeded to her assistance. As
the Aidar was found to be sinking fast,
three of the Staffordshire's lifeboats
were at once launched, and, with great
difficulty, owing to the darkness and
the heavy sea, succeeded in reScu;ng
her passengers and crew, % in number.
At $50 a. ID. the only persons left on the
Aidar were Mr.. Norman (the mastery
and an injured and helpless fireman
whom he was endeavoring to save, aud
whom he absolutely refused to ADAM
don. The steamer was now rapidly set

to remain near her the officer In
charge of the rescuing boat asked Mfr.
huffman for a final answer. He sill
persisted in remaining with the injuI ed
man, choosing rather to face almost
certain death than TO leave him to his
fate. The men in the boat were obliged
to pull away, and Immediately after

or two lurches and foundered After
she disappeared Mr.. Mailman was seen
on the bottom of an upturned boat, sill
holding the fireman. Half an hour
elapsed before the rescuing party could
approach, but eventually Mr.. huffman

Objectionable Tendencies May Be Easily
Overcome.
Does the child appear so volatile that
it seems almost impossible to hold him
to stability or soberness? Because of
mother look for assistance in the rea-
sonirg faculty which surely is latent
Exercising patience and tact, il. can be
employed to control, not destroy, the
Eght-mindedness so that it shall be-
come a cushion easing the burdens
which time lays upon every individual.
Undue seriousness or tendency to
dependency may be relieved, may be
overcome by the cultivation of the hui
morous element which exists in some
form in the child, and which will help
to carry him over hard places or tighten
dark ones.
Obstinacy and fickleness are often
found together, and the former, if
worked with, not against, the grain,
can be transformed into perseverance
and aid in converting fckleness into
steadfastness. A tendency to moods,
great buoyancy and depression; call for
the exercise of the dormant power Of
self-control. The child unconsciously
admires that quality, and can thus be
stimulated to its increasing exercise,
and we find an even nature produced.
a child of impulse, sympathetic, in
tense, imaginative, generally possesses
a hard vein of common sense or matter
of-factness; these qualities recognized
and wisely directed form wholesome,
strong, well-balanced character. It is
not necessary to multiply examples.
We know the power of love to change a
selfish nature into self-sacrificing
one, and there is hardly an attribute Of
character that may not be greatly
changed. = Elizabeth Lord Condit, in
