Addition to Yellowstone Par,k.

Captain Anderson, superintendent of
the Yellowstone National park, says
that an effort is being made to secure
legislation from congress which would
add the Jackson's Hole country to the
park. The area which it was proposed
to take in is about 90 miles square and
contains Jaokson's lake and the Three
luton mountain peaks. 1t is rich in
natural scenery and would, in the opin-
ion of the captain, add materially to
the parks attractiveness. Senator Car
ter of Montana has drafted bill for
that purpose, which has the indorse-
ment of the senators from Montana and
Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have
not yet been won over.-Omaha Bee.

LAVENDER LEAVES.

The waving corn was green and gold,
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up a drowsy drone,
When Mistress Standish, folding down
Her linen, white as snow,
Bewteen it laid the lavendar,
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes of grayish green,
Still moist with morning dew,
Recalled garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue
An English garden. quaint and old,
She never more might know
And SO she dropped homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin
And fell in many a shred.
Some went to bind soldiers wounds,
And some to shroud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across it to and fro
The ghost of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.

First Thermometer.

The first thermometer was made in
1891 by Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted of a
tube filled with air, closed at its upper
end. and dipping at its other extremity,
which was open, in bottle of nitric
acid diluted with water. As the tenn
perature rose OR fell the air in the tube
increased or grew less in volume, and
consequently the liquid descended or
rose. This instrument is now known as
an air thermometer, but as its measure
ments were based ON no fixed principle
it was of little use.

By request National Stockman re-
ports the formula used by the Clay fam
lily Of Kentucky in curing the once IA
nous Ashland hams:
To sugar cure small hams or Shout
ders take enough spring or we'll water
to cover the meat. For every hundred
weight of meat use brown sugar, 3
pounds; saltpeter, one-quarter pound ;
alum, an ounce; soda, an ounce. Mix
these in the water and add enough salt
to make brine strong enough to bear
an egg. Pour this cold over the meat,
which should have been previously
slightly sailed to draw out the blood,
weight the meat with stones to keep it
under the pickle, and in about 80 days
it will do to hang up to dry and smoke.
Smoke meat three weeks, making the
fire of green wood or sawdust. Ashland
hams were smoked four weeks with
green walnut wood.

WHEN BABY LAUGHS.

WHEN BABY LAUGHS.
"There's nothing half SO sweet in liSe,"
No cup of joy to quaff,
Nor rich treat as dimpled cheeks
When baby tries to laugh.
WHEN BABY CRIES.
Nor anything SO tart of taste
As when good nature dies
In vain attempt to ''stop that noise"
When baby cries and cries.
WHETHER BABY LAUGHS OR CRIES.
And nothing half SO sweet or dear
As lovelit baby eyes,
Or pressure close from baby lips,
Whether baby laughs or cries.

The Spanish Censor.

They have curious way Of suppress
ing papers here. Instead Of submitting
their proof-sheets to the censor, as Is
usual where such protector Of public
opinion exists, they get at the matter
backward. The publisher goes ahead
on his own judgment, prints what he
pleases and takes his chances Of going
to Jail or paying a fine. The censor
reads the paper at the breakfast table
the next morning, and if he finds any
thing mildly objectionable, he writes a
polite note to the editor, calling atten-
ton to the article. The latter prints a
paragraph next day explaining that he
was mistaken or that the public had
misinterpreted his remarks. But when
any high official Of rhe Government is
attacked, or the proprieties are yio-
lated, the editor is fined or imprisoned,
and policemen take the subscription
list and call at every house at which
comics have been delivered to recover
then.-Havana correspondence Of the

vate slave owners is Tippoo Tib, the
willy trader who was the friend and
guide of Henry NJ. Stanley in his early
explorations.
Tippoo Tib accompanied Stanley on
his second expedition to Africa from
Nyangive to the banks Of the Lualaba.
In 1887 Stanley appointed him Govern
or Of Stanley Falls Station, and guar
anteed him large salary. Tippoo also
assisted Stanley in his search for Emin
Bey In 1887 $3.50.
For these reasons Tippoo has many
friends in England, but he will be the
heaviest sufferer by the decree just
issued by the English Queen. He is
the largest slave owner in Africa, his
human chattels numbering 10000. Ev-
ery few months his followers make
raids into the interior, carrying away
hundreds of the natives after each
raid and killing scores in making the
captures.
Tippoo furnishes slaves to nearly
all Of the smaller Arab dealers, and to
the slavers of Morocco. His best GUS
toners are the owners Of the great
African plantations in Portuguese,
French, German and British Africa.
These plantations are owned by Euro
peans, and there is small doubt that
the condition of the slave on some of
these farms is superior to that Of the
native in the forest.
Time and again Great Britain has as
serted its intention to put stop to the
slave traffic in Zanzibar, but nothing
has ever come of it, and those familiar
with these failures do not place much
faith in the efficacy Of the recent de-
cree. The one great reason Of these
failures is that the revenue Of Zanzibar
is derived almost wholly from slave
labor, and a stoppage Of one means a
great financial loss to the Golfers Of
Great Britain. Tippoo Tib Is the chief
SLAYER Of Zanzibar.

TWENTY MILLION SLAVES.
Victoria's Anniversary to BE Celc-
brated by Freeing Captives.

brated by Freeing Captivcs.
1t has been announced in London
that the anniversary of the completion
of the siXtieth year of the reign or
Queen Victoria will be marked by the
liberation of all the slaves in the Brit
ish possessions in Africa. The decree
has already been disseminated through
many sections of the Dark Continent
but it will take something more force
full than the mere publication Of the
announcement to make the order effec-
tive.
In all of Africa the most trust;
worthy statistics show that there are
100000 slaves. In the British pos
sessions there are at least 20,OOO,OOO
slaves, or more than one-quarter of the
total population Of the United States
It has been estimated that the keeping
alive Of the slave trade costs the lives
Of 100000 natives annually.
1t can be seen from this that it will
be no empty task to carry out the wish
es Of the Queen and wipe out slavery.
The slave dealers are powerful set,
and the petty kings Of the different sec
tions are all great slave owners. The
most powerful and famous Of the pri-
