EARTH THE BEAUTIFUL.

! think the time will never be
When earth will not seem fair to me.
If | may see the archng sky,
With fieecy cloud-wrack floating by;
A tree with green, upllfted head.
And clover in its shadowy spread;
Or see rivers stately fight,
It's r.pples dancing In the light:
Though keen my sorrow, deep my woe,
Yet happiness my heart must know.
Or If to slghtless eyes no ray
Should enter from the brightest day,
III might smell a violet,
My darkened way should forget,
And in my fancy see once more
The woodland aisles with bougbs
stretched DER,
And gathered thickly round my feet
The bending wild flowers, fair and
sweet,
Or OF my hand might hold a rose. ~
The garden gates would swift unclose.
And rank on rank thered bloom for
me I
Far fairer flowers than now | see.
The ocean waves would sing for me
Their mournful vibrant symphony;
And when in ors12 tones arise,
storm voices grandly 10 the skies,
Ny pnny woes, ashamed to stay.
With them would quickly pass away.
And in the deep succeeding calm
My soul would join in Natures psalm.

and breadth of the range, and in
some places emanating directly
from rich mineral bearing veins.
This is one of the best watered
and timbered ranges in the West,
and with the magic influence of
railroad transportation, its future
importance, as a wealth producer,
can hardly be over estimated.
A preliminary survey has been
made by the Idaho Midland Rail
way Company, on a proposed
line to be run from Boise City,
Idaho, to Butte, Montana. Should
this line be built, and there is a
very bright prospect for it at the
present time, it will run down
Salmon River, along the east
slope of this range its entire
length, and be assured an inn
mense tonnage of mineral freight
right from the start.
The next legislature of Idaho
would do much for the advance
ment and general welfare OF tne
State by providing for a State
Mineralogist and Mining Inspec'
tor, to take the place of the pres
ent Office of Mine Inspector. AnC
the position should be filed by a
man of recognized ability, with
sufficient salary and ample ap
preparation at his command. His
duties should be, not only to in
lspect working mines, but to visi
new camps, districts and discov
cries, and make quarterly or an
nual reports of the mineral re
sources of the State, by districts
sections and counties. The in
terror mountain Businesses o
Idaho, contain rich volumes o
mineral information that tn
world should possess, and if pre-
| sented under the authority o
the government, it would resul
in Bringing more capital to th
State than any other metho
} that could be devised.

Has Cansed Many OF the Tragedies o.
the Wos .d's History.
Women Of all countries have an in
herent love for precious stones, which
are supposed to exercise some subtle
magnetism upon their natures. Hence
the latter-day craze FOR some mascotic
jewel. a survival Of medieval super
stition. Upon impressionable people
certain gems appear to WELD potent
influence. Who has not listened to
weird tales OF some heirloom talisman
which, when lost OF stolen, presaged
the ruin Of a noble house? A person
with a vivid imagination might even
believe in the theory Of the Pythagore-
ans, who formulated the doctrine that
inanimate as we'll as animate things
are endowed with souls. Certain evo-
lutionists Of today trace the origin Of
man back to stones, asserting that in
their adamantine bosoms they contain
the all-peryading essence Of spirit. and
that the spark emitted from their crys-
talline hearts is the revelation Of the
imprisoned soul within. From time
immemorial jewels have served as pro-
pitiatory offerings at holy shrines. as
tokens Of amity from one crowned
head to another. as mystic messengers
OF affection between distant friends,
as pledges Of constancy exchanged be
tween plighted lovers. Men have hled
and died. kingdoms have crumbled,
families have been rent asunder. hus-
band and wife parted over the disputed
possession OF some coveted jewel. Per-
haps poor Marie Antoinette Of ill-
starred memory. might have kept her
pretty head upon her shoulders had IL
not been for the unfortunate affair OF
the diamond necklace. Women in all
ages have succumbed to the temptation
OF gems. Faust hartered his soul for
the love Of q woman; Marguerite sold
hers for a gem-starred bauble.

Cures Of fenonous Bites by Their Use

Snake stones. as is well known. are
small pieces Of stone. or other hard
substance. used. especially in india
and the farther east, for curing the
bites Of snakes ana other venomous
creatures. In general they seem 10 be
OF no great value. though some re-
markable instances are related Of
speedy cures thus effected. In the
English periodical. Nature. Mr. D.
Hervey relates some personal obserVa-
tions in this field. Several years ago.
while bathing In the sea near singa-
pore, he put his foot IN a small mud
hole and received a bito near the an
kle, which soon became extremely
painful A Malay, who examined it on
the spot, said It was inflicted by a fish
-one Of the Siluridae which abounds
in the waters, aud is known as Ploto-
sus carius. He Immediately began
searching about for a remedy which
was soon found IN shape of a round
black stone as large as a pea. This be
applied to the wound. to which It ad-
hered without support fer D minute OF
So On its dropping of, there was a
flow Of black blood. followed by blood
Of a normal color. The pain at once
lessened, and in an hour was all gone.
The wound healed without further
trouble, but a fortnight later Mr.. Her
vey noticed that its place was occupied
BY a cavity about the size Of the stone

Singapore. was less fortunate in his
trial Of the remedy. being laid up for
six weeks The Malay said that his
stone came from the head OF a SER
Dent; to Mr. Hervay # seemed like a
bit Of charred bone. In some cases
similar to the above the Malays en-
pioy the juice Of a plant belonging 10
the genus Henslowia. When there is
a great deal Of painful irritation
caused by the singing organs Of the
jelly fish, they resort to the juice Of
the berries Of the Papaw tree (Carica
papava-) According to Mr. Hervey,
the native doctors sometimes perform
surprising cures with their secret med
icines. For example, a young English
man who while bathing, had his legs
caught in the tentacles of some un-
known animal-perhaps a jelly-fsh-
could get no RELIEF from a European
surgeon, but, after nine OF ten days,
when the pain had almost driven him
frantic, one Of these experts took hold
and healed him completely. Hence,

tions respecting the action OF snake
stones In particular we're recorded in
greater number.

The state department at the in
stance Of a resident Of Massachusetts,,
recently Instructed certain consular Of
ieers in Europe to forward informa-
ton regarding the use Of typesetting
machines abroad. Among the replies
received are the following
Consul Roosevelt writes from Brus-
sells in part as follows: Several Of
the leading newspapers Of Brussels use
typesettlng machines Of various makes
and Of English. Dutch and German
origin. As far as I can learn, no
American typesetting machine is used
here. 1t is impossible to learn the ex-
act number Of machines In use here
Or to ascertain the cost Of operation.
Proprietors. foremen, typesetters and
workmen in general, except union
printers. who are extremely hostile,
have received the machines with fa-
v0r. The one important obstacle to
the introduction Of typesetting ma
chimes into private printing establish
ments Is the impossibility Of utilizing
the material on hand. such as movable
type. etc"
From Marseilles Consul Skinner
writes: "The field for the use Of
typesetting machines in France is ex-
tensiye. The French are distinctive
" reading people, every city Of con-
sequence possessing a newspaper Of
large circulation, and as the distribu-
ton Of stereotype plates among local
publishers is unknown In France, all
these papers depend upon local labor

Consul Tourgee Of Bourdeaux re-
ports that no typesetting machines are
in use In the consular district, and
that their introduction would be at
tended with great difficulties and
risks.
