A COXPaSIOX'S STOBT.
Had I been my own mistress I should
never have served Marie Iloeia. Bat
poverty, the need of food and raiment,
the hungry mouths that must be filled.
were too strong for me, and I engaged
myself to ner. -''You
are poor, Louise," she said, with
.a slight French accent. "Money is of
no account to me 1 only asK you to be
faithful. .-1 said that I should travel; so
you must supply your brothers' and
sister's wants before we go. I shall be
liberal with you. Take this.
As she spoke she reached out six or
eight balf-eagles. I drew back my hand.
"It is too much," I said.
"Allow me to be the judge of that. I
know what will be required of you."
A little chill ran over, me. What
would be required of me ? I looked up
to see, if possible, what meaning lay hid
den beneath her words.
"I shall travel as fancy pleases," she
continued. "One spot is as pleasant to
me as another. I go in search of some
thing I have lost. It may be here, it
may be there. I have nothing to guide
me in my search. It is all blind chance."
At first I was not happy in my migra
tory life. I used to long for home or
what had been home and for the car
esses of those I loved. But this did not
last long. Marie Rosis soon grew to be
the world to me, and I her liond slave.
Sometimes we rested two or three
weeks from our travels, and then went
forward, day after day and week after
week, without stopping. I do not know
how long I had been with her, when I
discovered that we were not traveling
alone that we had a follower, who pur
sued us from place to place with unwav
ering persistence. -He did not seem to
be conscious of us. He never addressed
us he only followed us continually like
a shadow. -It
was after the stranger came that I
learned what madame was searching for
A rina that had mvsteriouslvdisaDDeared
from her finger one night while she was
sleeping. A strange ring, with a frame
heart for its centre all that she had left
of Monsieur Rosia. I glanced at her in
surprise.
- VWas it your wedding ring?"
"Better than that. Monsieur Rosis
gave it to me while he was dying. He
came back to life to give it me just as
we. turn back when we nave forgotten
something.
"He gave it to me and said that a curse
would follow me if I lost it. I did not
lose it it went away from me; but I am
not happy. Monsieur Rosis was very
hard."
"But you are not to blame for what
you could not help." v
" Ah f but if a lover Unk it ?" she said.

aa-wa. "wma mvniji Meats) aalKVU
as warm. When, I awoke Monsieur s
hfVwas gone and the air full of
hadoWirTTa& been searching ever
since for it."
Bhe began pacing up and down the
room. - We were stopping for a week at
a hotel in a large inland town. This con
versation had been: carried on in tho
parlor, a long, wide room, looking cast-
ward. As madame .walked, 1 thought 1
had never seen her half so beautiful
While she went to and fro restlessly the
stranger came noiselessly in and walked
beside her. Bhe did not notice him but
looked straight out of the window to the
green trees and beyond them to the wide
sunset.
For myself I grew angry and heated at
the stranger's boldness. If he had any
thing to say to her why did he not speak?
What right had he to dog her steps so
persistently? At least I would tell mad
ame. As I started forward to speak the
strange gentleman raised his hand to his
forehead and I saw something on it that
glowed blood-red in the sunlight, I
looked at it eagerly and saw the shape of
a heart outlined on the slender anger.
My heart bounded. Here was the lover
that had stolen madame a ring. It should
be restored to her at once that she should
once moae know happiness. Ah, how
frightened I got. though t While my lips
were parted to speak and my hand
reached forth to touch his arm, he was
gone and I stood quite alone with Mad
ame Rosis.
"What makes yon so white?" she asked,
stopping Bhort in her walk.
"Why, he has gone!"
"Who has gone?"
"The gentleman who walked beside
yon."
"Indeed, who so honored me?" she
said, mcreduously. "I was busy with
my thoughts."
"A strange gentleman walked with
you near you and I started toward
him he disappeared."
- Madame laughed a low, musical laugh,
but I saw that the white hand clasped
her scarlet mantle over her heart was
shaking. Her lips "grew white and dry.
"i nope he was handsome.
"Very, with a mouth like a girl's."
.Her forehead grew puckered in scowls
"And what elne?"
"He wore a ring with a blood-red
Heart.
I pray that I may never on earth see a
face so fearful as was the Madame's at
that moment. I put up a quick prayer,
for I thought she was about to kill me.
Bhe clutched both hands about my arm
and held me close to her.
"How dare yon, girl?"
"I could not help seeing him," I said.
"There he is now outside looking in
at the window. '
She cowered down at my feet and cor
ered her eyes with my mantle. I do not
know how long I stood there, or how
long she knelt without moving. I know
the figure stood motionless at the window
looking at us with steady, unwavering
eves. Would he never? Would he hold
us forever wirii that quiet, unflinching
gaze?
At that moment I shrieked, and mad
ame sprang to her feet. A crowd came to
see us and I fell back fainting.
In the morning we started. It was
summer time, and our way led through
the richest of earth's gardens. All was
was beautiful from the sky downward
birds, flowers, fruit and velvety green
sward. In spite of everything I was
happy.
"We will soon have a long rest," said
madame, as we were whirling along.
"You shall hear from the brother and
sister at home."
I was looking out of the window as
she spoke. As I turned my face toward
her, I felt some ono touch my shoulder.
I turned quickly. The stranger was sit
ting near us in the train.
His presence seemed so real to me that
I spoke on t angrily :
y "If you please, "sir " '
Madame looked around.
I knew, then, that whatever I saw
whether man or evil one Madame Rosis
was conscious of nothing. I looked over
the face at the blue eyes and the gentle
moutn, down at the white hands and red
ring, without a word.
"Monsieur Rosis," I thought. "But
why does he follow madame?"
We rode the day through with the fair,
immovable figure beside us, and the doc
tor in the next carriage. , The one seemed
to counteract the influence of the other.
Nothing could harm ma. .
At night we came to our resting place.
"Here we shall find the ring, said
madame, as we hurried out of the train.
"It is like an inspiration. I feel it
through and through."
We did not go to a hotel, but to a house
near the outskirts of the town. I know
tbe coachmen of the fly stared at madame
when she told bun where to drive us.
The night was very dark. Looking
around for my friend, I could not see
him, and I thought I was lost.
Warm as : was the night, the place to
which we went was chilly. Madame had
fires started in the grates, and ordered
wine to be brought
"Where are we?" I asked.
"Pardon me for not saying. This iB
my home. No one dare intrude here."
No one? i Was madame sure? As she
spoke, the pleasant-faced stranger, ghost
br man, came noiselessly in and sat
down by the fire. He wore the same ex
pression as when I had first seen him.
Glancing at his hand, I saw the blood
red ring glowing upon his finger.
"You do not drink?" madame said, as
I sat holding the wine glass. "What is
it?" j
I put down the glass with a shudder.
."Madame Rosis, I want to go home."
"This is your home. By day it is very
beautiful. ; To-night I know there are
shadows and it is cold. We can have
more fire." ;
"That is not it I want my sister. I
seem to be stifling here."
"Well, well I will play to you. I
will sing." i
Bhe threw open the piano. Good
heavens, what a wail came from it as her
delicate finger ran up and down the keys!
Wild unrest, agony, despair, found voice
in the melody which she awakened. Then
her little hands pattered softly down, and
her voice broke out softly to the weird
accompaniment. Through it all I could
hear the falling of ghostly feet, the whia-
Eers from shadowy lips. The stranger
stened at her side; so close was his face
to hers, that in an unsteady light they
seemed to mingle and waver together.
Where was I? The atmosphere was
like that of a tomb. Was I among flesh
and blood realities, or had I been drawn
into the charnel-house to expiate some
sin which I had committed? Bin, in
deed! What did I know about sin?
"Don't madame- don't ! " I cried,
"Yon are driving me mad! Let me go
in the name of mercy, let me go! "
"You need rest," spoke the madame.
"You are nervous. You shall go to your
room and have support there."
She led me like a child. What could
I do? !-
Upstairs it was more cheerful. The
fire was fresh and the lamps gave out a
clear, steady light. I drew a sigh of re
lief, j
"You like it?" said madame.
"How can I help it?"
"I am glad. My room is opposite. In
the night, if you are awakened, you can
come to me. But I think you will sleep.
I will send your supper to you in a mo
ment." I did not wait for supper. Thoroughly
exhausted, bodily and mentally, I sank
upon the bed. I do not know how long
I slept. I started up suddenly from my
pillow, a fearful shriek entering through
my brain. It was madame's voice that
aroused me. In a moment there was a
sound of hurried feet in the hall, a mur
mur of strange voices, and some one
threw open the door opposite mine. I
stole softly but and crossed the hall to
madame's room. There was a group of
strange people standing by her bedside.
A voice said, "She is dead."
"What is it what killed her?" I
asked.
"I do not know. Probably her heart
was diseased. Bomo sudden fright did
it. The detectives have been on her
tiack for weeks."
"The detectives ? Why ?
"She poisoned Monsieur Rosis, her
husband. That is the portrait yonder,"
said the physician.
I gave one glance toward it. I had lit
tle need to look at it, since the face was
so terribly familiar.
"She has escaped justice," some one
said, solemnly.
"You are mistaken, she has gone to
meet it.'
" See! " cried another, in a startled
voice, "she wore his ring again."
I looked down at the little waxen hand,
now clay cold. On the white forefinger
the heart of Monsieur Rosis glowed aud
burned. It was plain to me, no matter
what others thought. Madame had died
of fright when the ring was placed upon
her finger. '
Her impression hod been true. She
had that night found her ring. Let us
hope, too, that in God's wide mercy she
fonnd rest. !
Sarah Bernliardt'g Ball.
A ball was given in Paris March 4th,
the like of which could certainly not bo
found in any other capital in the world
but Paris. Borne few days ago a very
handsomely' illustrated card a work of
art itself, due to the pencil of Clairip
was received by the personal friends of
Millie. Sarah Bernhardt, reading thus:
"Monsieur Maurice Bernhardt prie Mon
sieur X. de lui faire l'honneur de venir
passer la soiree de la Mi-Careme chez sa
mere." The entertainment was given in
celebration of the young host having
completed the fifteenth year of his age.
Fancy dress was supposed to be de
rigueitr, and there were, indeed, so few
black coats that they in no way impaired
the bright and picturesque aspect of the
famous atelier which has been so often
described. :
A model of artistic splendor, it needed
little to adapt it to the requirements of a
ball-room, j The Japanese figures, the
magnificent : bronzes, the paintings,
statues, and numberless works of cost
from every part of the world, had only
to be heaped together in more than usual
profusion and the somewhat severe as
pect f the architecture merely lightened
with additional tapestries and banners.
The dining-room, the walls covered with
frescoes on golden ground, naturally did
duty for the buffet, while an extra room
built over the gardon, and draped with
gobelins, served as a cool retreat from
the heat of the ball-room . The host was
dressed in the elegant Italian costume
worn by his mother in "La Passant,"
while she, herself, in a white satin dress,
with tall hat, appeared as the most
charming of ".Pierrettes.
Some of the dresses were fantastic
enough Millie, de Gournay, for in
stance, being made up as Puss in Boots,
and Mdle. Abbelud as a black "Pierrot."
The painters present were naturally most
carrect in their attire Detaille, for in
stance, wearing the undress uniform of
an English guardsman; J acq net, a verit
able Italian mediaeval costume, and Bas
tien Lepage looking like a Calabrian
brigand to the life. But to enumerate
the guests would be to give a list of all
the notables in Paris. To show the elec
tio nature of the gathering, I need only
mention that it included the famous Ser-
feant Hoff, whose bust, by Mdlle. Bern
ard is to be exhibited in the next salon.
Dancing was carried on with a reckless
gayety, which found its excuse in the
license of carnival time, and the view of
the scene, as witnossed from the stair
case, which is the most conspicuous foa
turo of the studio, leaves an impression
which by those who enjoyed it will not
easily be forgotten.

Register. ; .
The Dream Story of Gojiro.
Only a few years ago there was a
gentleman in Fukui, Japan, who had
a son, a bright lad of twelve, who
was very diligent at school, and had
made astonishing progress in his
studies. He was especially quick at
learning: Chinese characters, of
which every Japanese gentleman
who wishes to be called educated
must know at least 2000. For, al
though the Chinese and Japanese
are two very different languages, yet
tho Japanese, Coreans and Chinese
use the same letters to write with,
just as English, Germans, French
and Spaniards all employ one and
tbe same alphabet.
Now Gojiro's father had promised
him that when he read through five
volumes of the Nihongi, or ancient
history of Japan, he would give him
for a present a book of wonderful
Chinese stories. Gojiro performed
his task and his father kept his prom
ise. One day, on hia return from a
journey to Kioto, he presented his
son with sixteen volumes, all neatly
silk'-bound. well illustrated with
wood cuts and printed clearly on
thin, silky mulberry paper from tho
best wooden blocks. It will' bo re
membered that several volumes of
Japanese literature make but ono of
ours, as they are much lighter and
thinner than ours.
Gojiro was so delighted with the
wonderful stories of heroes and war
riors, travels and sailors, that he al
most felt himself in China. Ho read
far into the night, with his lamp in
side of his mosquito curtain, and
finally fell asleep, still undressed,
but with his head full of all sorts of
Chinese wonders.
Ho dreamed he was far away in
China, walking along the banks of
tho great Yellow River. Everything
was very strange. The people talked
an entirely different language from
his own; had on different clothes;
and instead of nice shaven head and
top-knot of the Japanese, every ono
wore a long pigtail of hair that
dangled at his heels. Even the
boats were of a strange form; and
on the fishing smacks, perched on
projecting rails, sat rows of cormo
rants, each with a ring around his
neck. Every few minutes one of
them would dive under the wator,
and, after awhile, como struggling
up with a fish in its mouth so big
that tbe fishermen had to help the
bird into the boat. The fish was
then flung into a basket, and the
cormorant was treated to a slice of
raw fish by way of encouragement,
and to keep the bird from tho bad
habit of eating the live fish whole.
This the ravenous bird would some
times try to do, even though the
ring was put around his neck for the
express purpose of preventing him
from gulping down a whole tish at
once.
It was spring time, and the buds
were just bursting iuto flower. Tho
river was full of fish, especially carp,
ascending to the great rapids or cas
cades. Here the current ran at a
prodigious rate of swiftness, and the
waters rippled and boiled and roared
with frightful noise. Yet, strange to
say, many of the fish were swim
ming up the stream as if their lives
depended on it. They leaped and
floundered about; but every ono
seemed to be tossed back and left ex
hausted in the river, where they
panted and gasped tor breath in tbe
eddies at the side. Some were so
bruised agaiust the rocks that, after
a few spasms, they floated white and
stiff, belly up, on the water, dead,
and were swepfdown tho stream.
Still the shoal leaped and strained
every fin, until their scales flashed in
the sun like a host of armored war
riors in battle. Gojiro, enjoying it as
if it wero a real conflict ot waves and
fishes, clapped his hands with delight.
Then Gojiio enquired by means of
writing, ot an old white-bearded sago
standing by and looking on, "What
is tho name of this part of the river?"
" So call it Lung Men," replied the
sage.
"Will you please write tho charac
ters of it," said Gojiro, producing his
ink-case and and a brush pen, with a
roll of soft mulberry paper.
The sage wrote the two Chinese
characters meaning "The Gate of the
Dragons," or "Dragon's Gate,"
and turned away to watch a carp
that seemed almost up into the clear
water.
"Oh, I see,' said Gojiro to himself.
"That's pronounced liiu Mon in Jap
anese. I'll go further on and see.
There must be snme meaning in this
fish-climbing." He went forward a
few rods, to where the banks trended
upward into high bluffs, crowned by
towering firs, through the top
branches of which white fleecy clouds
sailed along, so near the sky did
tho tree-tops seem. Down under the
cliffs the river ran perfectly smooth,
almost like a mirror, and broadened
out to the opposite shore. Far back,
along the current, he could still see
the rapids shelving down. It was
crowded at the bottom with leaping
fish; whose numbers gradually thin
ned out toward the center, while near
the top, close to the edge of level
water, one solitary fish, of powerful
fin and tail, breasted the steep
stream. Now forward a leap, then a
slide backward, sometimes farther to
the rear than the next leap made up
for, then steady progress, then a slip,
but every moment nearer, until clear
ing foam and ripple and spray at one
bound, it passed the edge and swam
happily in smooth water.
It was inside the dragon gate.'
Now camo the wonderful change.
One of the fleecy white clouds sud
denly left the host in tho deep blue
above, dipped down from the sky,
and, swirling round and round as if it
were a waterspout, scratched and
frayed the edge of the water like a
fisher's troll. The carp saw and
darted toward it. In a moment the
fish was transformed into a white
dragon, and rising into tho cloud,
floated off toward heaven. A streak
or two of red fire, a gleam of terrible
eyes, and tho flash of white scales
was all that Gojiro saw. Then he
awoke.
"How strange that a poor little
carp, a common fish that livos in the
river, should become a great-white
dragon, and soar up into tho sky, to
live there," thought Gojiio, tho next
day, as ho told bis mother his dream.
"Yes," said she; "and what ales
son for you. See how the carp per
severed, rising over all difficulties,
never giving up till he became a
dragon. I hope my son will mount
over all obstacles, and rise to honor
and to high office under tho govern
ment.
"Oh! oh! now I set," said Gojiro.
"That is what my teacher means
when ho says the students in Tokio
have a saying, "I'm a fish to-day,
but I hope, to be a dragon to-morrow,"
when they go to attend ex
amination; and that's what papa
meant when he said, 'That fish's son
Kotuku has become a white dragon,
while I am yet only a carp.' "
So on the third day of the third
month, at the feast of flags, Gojiro
hoisted the nobori. It was" a great
fish, made of paper, fifteen feet long,
and hollow like a bag. It was yel
low with black scales and streaks of
gold, and red gills and mouth, in
which two strong strings were fas
tened. It was hoisted up by a rope
to the top of a high bamboo polo on
the root of tbe house. There the
breeze caught it. swelled it' oat
round and full of air. Tho wind
made the fins work, and the tail flap,
and the head tug, until it looked just
like a carp trying to swim the rapids
of the Yellow river the symbol of
ambition and perseverance." Ex.
A Mystery.
Ws are used to scenes of pain and suf
fering at the G hospital, and could
look on ghastly wounds and faces on
which the mortal agony inflicted by the
surgeon's probe and knife was painted
without blanching or apparent emotion.
But when gallant Harry Delmont was
brought in from the "front," with a hid -eous
hole in his manly breast, such as
only a minie ball could make, a great
hush of sorrow and dismay fell upon us
all. And when the surgeon's solemn
words, "He cannot live three days," fell
upon our ears, the hush was broken bj
the sobs of strong men, as well as by the
more quiet weeping of the female nurses,
for all of ns loved the brave young Cap
rain as a brother.
We hovered over his cot throughout
the day, and when night came it was
agreed that one of lis should have the
special duty of, watching beside it
through the night, for fear that he should
waken from the lethargy which seemed
to prelude approaching death, to ask for
something that the steward could not ob
tain. And then I pleaded for the priv
ilege, and after some demur it was ac
corded me.
"Watch him very closely," said the
surgeon to me, as I took my seat for the
vigil beside the cot of our favorite, "for
at any moment he is liable to come out
of the coma, and he may be wander
ing." But I was very tired, and about mid
night, do what I could, I could not keep
my eyes from closing in a half-unconscious
reverie, which, after a time,
merged into a fitful slumber.' And very
soon occurred the mystery of which it is
my present task to tell.
A bright dream of the "northern home
so far away" was flitting through my
brain, when suddenly I seemed to be
impressed with some presence that held
my body in a thrall, while my senses
became almost preternaturally acute.
Opening my eyes at last, I gazed toward
the couch of the wounded captain, and
by his side with one hand clasped in hers,
I saw the figure of a young and beautiful
lady, whose eyes were glaring down to
his with such a look of pitying tender
ness that I felt sure at once she was his
sweetheart.
I wondered much, however, how she
came to be there in the hospital at that
hour of the night, when visitors had
never been admitted after sundown. And
I knew that Dr. Vance, the surgeon in
charge, had his own brother been dying
in that place, and his father and mother
come to see him, would never have ad
mitted them only at regular hours.
I was so exercised in mind that I was
just opening my lips to question the
strange visitor, when I saw the steward
with the light, moving along tho lower
end of the ward in such a way as to bring
our visitor between the light and me,
and then my heart stood still. The light
the Stewart carried I could see shining,
and I was looking through the form of the
lady who stood by my patient's side.
I gazed in awe upon the apparition for
a few brief seconds, and then a torpor
overcame me, and I knew no more until
the steward roughly shook my arm and
mode me awake, for Captain Delmont was
no longer lethargic, but delirious. But
when I looked upon his clear, calm eyes,
I told the steward he was not delirious.
"Is Nettie here?" he faintly asked, as I
bent over him.
I did not question who "Nettie" was,
for I was certain I had seen her sem
blance, and I answered, calmly:
"Nettie has been here, Captain Del
mont, but she is not here now."
"I wish you would call her again.
Mrs. Ennis, for I wish to speak with
her."
"Did you speak with her when she
was here?" I asked, heeding the steward's
great amazement." '
"No," he answered simply. "I tried
to speak, but somehow I could not utter
a word, I suppose I was then too
weak."
"Was she your affianced wife?" I
asked.
"Not when I joined the army. We
had been affianced once, but she broke
the engagement because" here his voice
faltered "because I was too poor. But
I know she loves me."
"She does," I said, "I could see it in
her eyes."
"If she is to nurse me," he exclaimed,
"I surely shall recover! O, call her now,
dear Mrs. Ennis I must have the as
surance from her own lips."
But I persuaded him to wait till morn
ing. Morning came, and the surgeon,
after a hasty examination, said the Cap
tain was much better, and that a chance
for life was won. As soon as he was
gone I turned to my patient, who only
murmured, "Nettie.
"Captain Delmont," I said, calmly,
"Nettie is not here."
"Not here!" he cried clutching my
hand. "Not here! why I saw her last
night. She has not gone away again,
and left me to die alone?"
"No, Harry, but she has not yet been
here not in the flesh."
"Mrs. Ennis, am I mad or are you? for
I plainly saw her, and you say she has
not been here."
"Yes, I saw her," I replied, "and she
was standing by your cot, and in her
hand she held your own. But Captain
Delmont, through her form I saw the
candle carried by the steward, half a
dozen cots away.
He turned his face to the wall, and
then I trembled for the effect I feared
my wards would have. But when he
turned his face again I saw my fear was
groundless.
"I called her," he said earnestly, "and
though five hundred miles away, she
heard me "and came to mo. God bless
t her!"
And for all the surgeon's prophecy he
rapidly began to mend. Days glided by,
and he grew convalescent.
Two weeks later, going out one day, I
met a lady going in, and it needed but
one glance to tell me who it was. Shu

went up to her and took her hand.
"This is Captain Delmont's Nettie!" I
exclaimed.
She looked frightened. I saw that she'
grew pale. I guided her to Captain Del
mont's cot, and when she reached it and
she beheld the surroundings she grew
paler still.
"Why, this is the very place I dreamed
of seeing about two weeks ago! and you
are the nurse I saw sitting by his cot!"
she gasped, rather than spoke.
I did not reply. Harry Delmont had
clasped her to his breast, and I very qui
etly withdrew.
Of course the story ends with happi
ness and marriage, as is usual; but the
appearance by my patient's cot I fear
will never be explained. It is a question
for psychologists to settle or discuss.

Influence of Electric Light.
Dr. Siemens recently gave, before the
Royal Society in London, an account of
some very interesting and important ex
periments which he had beeu making,
with a view of determining the influence
of electric light on vegetation. The ex
periments had been made with mustard,
carrot, bean, cucumber, melon and
other quick-growing plants. These,
which had been planted in pots, he had
arranged in four classes or groups. One
class was kept always kept in tho dork,
another in the light of day as long as
possible, a third always in the electric
light, and the fourth was expesed today
light and electric light in succession. It
was found that the plants would not live
long when kept in the dark, but they
would thrive about as well in the electric
light as in the daylight. But those did
best of all which were constantly ex
posed to both daylight and electric light
in succession. Dr. Siemens' experiments
extended through only about two
months, and he does not claim that the
results are conclusive r final. But he
has reached the conclusions that plants
do not require any rest during the
twenty-four hours; that their growth
may be materially quickened by giving
them the benefit of electric light at
night; that electric light will produce
chlorophyl in the leaves of plants, and
promothe their growth, and that injurious
effects upon plants are not caused, to any
material extent, by the small amount of
carbonic acid and nitrogenous com
pounds generated in the electric light
arc. Dr. Siemens further expresses the
opinion that the effects of night frost
may be counteracted and the ripening of
fruit prompted by means of the radiation
of heat from powerful electric arcs. If
these results shall be confirmed by
further experiments which Dr. Siemens
is making.the practical value which these
facts will have in horticulture is mani
fest. They will also afford new facilities
for the investigation of some important
scientific questions as to the influence of
natural light on vegetatton. Dr. Siemens
gave his audience a beautiful illustration
of one of his experiments by putting
some budding tulips in a strong electric
light, which in about forty minutes,
caused the buds to open out in full
bloom.
In view of these facts, may not this
light be made serviceable in tobacco
plant beds, hastening the growth and
improving the quality of the plants?

if any, was condoned by the unconscion

was set at liberty, being, at the time of

came to Rome and took up his residence
in the Tranatevere ; but as he, oddly

popular ovations which were considered
offensive to public morality, and, more
over caused serious disturbances in the
streets, the Italian Government resolved
to remove him from the capital, and caus

to deplor the reprehensible obstinacy of
some of his"chents," whose stubbornness
in declining to pay up the sums fixed by
him for their ransom had compelled him
to treat them with a severity as distress

'o Homes on the Pacific Coast.
The saddest phase of this coast prob
ably of all gold and silver mining regions
is the absence of homes. We mean
real homes, whose founder laid the first
hearthstone and made the first clearing
with the thought that on that spot he was
to do his life's wprk, and there, at last,
amid familiar scenes, sink into that sleep
that is final. The absence of this dispo
sition has made nomads of the men of
this coast. They came here originally
with the thought that in a little while
they would return and make the home of
their future in the lands of their birth.
Could the air-castles which have been
erected in thought by men on this coast,
while lying in bunks in rude cabins, or
in blankets around camp-fires, be woven
into a picture, what a city it would make.
But the years have stolen by; except in
isolated coses, the bewitching dreams
have never been realized, and while the
hoped-for homes were never builded
back in the land of childhoods, neither,
alas, have they been builded here. We
do not mean to say that there are not
plenty of families living in what they
call homes. But those who have homes
which were ci eated with the expectation
that they would be permanent, that in
and about them was to be hoarded the
gathered treasures of a life-time, are very
few. Tin's might, perhaps, be expected
here in the desert, but the same is true
of California, especially in the country.
As a rule, the farm-houses of California
and their surroundings are perpetual
signs of "For sale." On many of these
farms man and families have lived for a
quurter of a century, and still it has
nover been home in any rightful sense of
the word. There has never been a time
that the husband and father has not in
tended to sell out in the course of a few .
months, and never a time that the family
has not hoped he would. Virginia(Nev!)

We desire to rail the attention ef those
interested in such matters to tho adver
tisement of E. J. Korthrup &; Co., who
offer to the farmers a threshing machine
which is not surpassed for durability and
effective work. This machine has "many
Improvements not found in others. We
can name only a few in this article.
Having improved patent bars in the cyl
inder and concave by which the spikes or
teeth are prevented from coming loose,
saving a great amount of annoyance, loss
and breakage. Having an improved
"swing gear" with it, tbe horse power
may be set at any angle with the thresher
within a half circle, and be quickly ad
justed and secured to such position. The
mounted horse power is an improved
triple gear lever power. These iwwers
are thoroughly made, null instead of cast
ing the journals and bearings for the
gearings, (as is many times done), every
bole or bearing is located and bored by
templates, thus securing uniformity in
their construction and avoiding any un
necessary friction. The sweeps or levers
are so arranged that they require no bolt
ing to hold them to their places and may
be instantly placed or removed without
the use of any tool. Tho gearing is all
nicoiy encased in a metallic case, securing
it from all dust. The separators are also
made to run by an engine, and the manu
facturers also make an engine for agricul
tural nu r poses, illustration of which we
have not space for. The special points of
interest in these are their light weiglU,econ
omy of fuel and water, safety from fire, and
durability.
