FARMLAND.
ot travel to a star;

You need not travel to star:
The way is easy, and not far
An hours walk, mile from town.
The herons of the old lagoon
Lead you along the path; for sign
Are arrowhead-blossoms, frail and fine,
Beside the water; then the wood
Takes you; but only by the blood
Leaping, and by the sudden start
OF the overfull and thrilling heart,
You know you see it face to face
The greenwood bowers a sunny space
For song-sparrow tinkling; and below
July's green lap is full of snow,
Is drifted rich with white and pink:
OF bouncing-bet from brink to brink;
The haunted air resounds between
With humming- birds. obscure and keen,
Like burnt-out stars that dart and float,
With but last fire at the throat.
You saw but common summer flowers!
Heard but a hum that drowsed the
hours?
Your blood leaped not, nor shook your
heart?
All, well: know no other chart.
The path is for your feet as far
As that which lessons to a star.

Africa.s Ancient Sea.

Recent studies of the animal life of
Lake Tanganyika have shown that that
lake differs from all other African
lakes in possessing inhabitants that be-
long to the oceanic species. Still, these
singular denizens of Lake Tanganyika
are not exactly like the marine organ
isms of the present day, and the con-
clusion is drawn that a sea. connected
with the open ocean. once occupied the
parts of Africa where Tanganyika now
lies and that the lake is the last rem

lntelligtble announcement.


An American woman who under.
stands italian, but has not learned to
comprehend Italianized English, had at
a hotel In Florence an experience which
she relates with glee.
She had asked that carriage might
be ready for her at certain hour. She
waited in the parlor for it to be an
nounced, and when the time had passed
she made complaint that her request
had not been regarded
'But, madam, send up a boy where
you and the other madam were sitting,

"a boy said something in the door

he spoke in language unknown to me,
and did not seem to be addressing me-

Record in Clothes.Nakine

Thomas Kitson, of the Stroudsburg
mills, in Pennsylvania, had six sheep
sheared at 6:30 O'Clock in the morning.
The wool was then sorted, secured,
dried, carded, spun, woven into cloth
and the cloth was given to the tailors
and made up into a suit of clothes
which were given to Mr.. Kitson at
1884 O'Clock, or six hours and four
minutes from the time of shearng The

Sand Pillars.

Travellers in the celebrated Death
Valley of California have described the
wonderful contortions of the sand pill
lars that small whirlwinds sometimes
send spinning across the hot plain.
Even more remarkable are the "dust
devils" seen by H. f. Witherby, the
English explorer, in the valley of the
White Nile Sometimes two of these
whirling columns, gyrating in oppo-
site directions, meet, land if they be
well matched the collision stops them
and a struggle ensues as to which
way they shall twist. Gradually one
gains the mastery, and the two COM
bined begin to gyrate alike and then
rush on together Some of these
whirls will strip the clothes from an
Arabs back, or twist a goat round and
round like a top.

Shopping in Havana.

We have been asked to give its" t9 the Havana storekeeRers who de- cline to receive American money at the same rates paid by the casas de cambio. This seems to us rather Illogical. The storekeeper IS not in the money changing business, and his goods are priced in Spanish gold and silver, in accordance with the we'll established custom of the country and the Spanish law which has been repealed II the shopper is diSsatis- fled with the storekeeper's rate of eX- change why does he not change his money at the professional money changers before he starts shopping? He could not complain if the con ductor of trolley car declined to change a ten.dollar bill exactly as he wanted it done. His business is to provide himself with suitable money before he attempts to spend it. Havana Sun.

S. ?. Wins Mllllons.

The Southern Pacific Railroad com pany has won big victory before the United States supreme court in case involving it's title to about three mill ion acres of land along it's line within the state of California and just outside the state. These lands were originally granted to the old Atlantic & Pacific Railroad company and when that cor poration was taken over by the South ern Pacific the United States claimed that the grant to lands did not go with the transfer. The United States circuit court at Los Angeles upheld the government in this contention, but tke supreme court gave decision in favor of the railroad company. One of the counsel for the railroad company said after the decision had been handed down that the lands were worth in his opinion Tn average of S5 an acre. making their total value about sl5, 100000.

Things to Avoid.

Not only children, but many growI ID people, have a trick of holdin. Jlns in the mouth and of sucking tn cad of their pencils to add to tho facility of writing, Both habits ar
 yceedingly dangerous as well as iu- elegant.
 The swallowing of pin is less to be ireaded than the coatagion that mai Irk about the pin. Under it's head a i'd about the point of d pencil whole multitude of disease germs may turk which, being given entrance to tn nOuth from there Srnn infect tn, whole body, thus causing illness or perhaps even death.
 It is through the mouth that most malignant germs find their way into the body, and therefore one would think that it was hardly necessary to warn people of the risks they are running in using it as { sort of third hand One would imagine that hardly anyone needed cautioning against holding money with the lips, anu yet au immense number of otherwise thoroughly cleanly people indulge iI this dirty and dangerous practice. - Washington, D.

The New le sf.

The man who turned over a new leafon New Years day has assumed fresh responsibilities. He faces the necessity of preserving faith with him self. Here lies the hardest struggle aud the most important, For if a man loses credit with his own conscience he can expect little credence from oth- CTS. The unbroken pledge to self is strong bond to good behavior, strong CT than pledge kept to another. The new leaf' is type of the perpetual desire of mankind to be better, to do better, to live up to higher ideals. Even though many are turned at this season of repentance and are later fiuttered back, some will stick, and those represent positive gains. Let the new leaf be turned, by all means, even thou gh repeated failures to hold it down mayshave weakened the per sonal resolve and shaken faith in self strenth Washington Star

 A recent dispatch from New York says: The improved condition in the industrial line, particularly in Eng land and Germany, is largely respon- slble for the increased exports of cop per. Of course the reduction in prices made by the United Metals Selling company, as agents for the Amalgamated, which was followed by the independent producers, has spurred the foreign consumers into quick purchases before the advance was ordered According to the fig ures compiled by the Metal Exchange, the exports of copper in December were S,62o tons, as compared with G. 361 tons in November, and it is the largest monthly export since June. The European stock of copper is 2l,- 940 tons, an increase of 1,361 tons during the month, but a decrease of 6,979 tons from December, 1900.
 A few days ago the Courier had oc- casion to mention the arrival in this section of F. J. Webber, a young mine operator from Colorado. The item stated that Mr. Webber was here to look over the field with a view of doing something, and quickly fol. lowing events show something done, for Mir. Webber has secured control of eighty acres of mineral ground in Hassayampa district and has taken a ninety day's working bond on Joseph Atkins Delta mining claim in the same district, and proposes to push de- development work on the property. The Delta has about 5000 feet of de- velopment work, showing a strong gold bearing ledge about four feet wIde. Mr. Webber has mined in  Cripple Creek, knows all about Colo rado mines, and says he is here to stay. He will bring his family here and make this his home. He says further that when he writes aud tells his acquaintances and people about this country that miners and mine in. vestors from Colorado will commence to multiply hereabouts in no uncer. tain manner. He predicts a great movement in mining here for the next few years, all of which sounds good to us. Prescott Courier.
