AN OLD HOMESTEAD.
It stands beside the winding way
Where countless flowers smile
Time-toned into a silver gray.
An ancient shingled pile.
Beside the gate a Ulac fair
Is bright with May-rain pearls,
And from the chimney in the air
A smoke skein softly curls.
A willow ripples like the sea
In musical unrest,
And cradles in its drapery
An ashen hornet's nest.
Bright tulips at the doorway set
Their airy fragrance spill.
A jar of creamy mignonette
Is on the window sill.
There is a straggling hedge of box
Beneath the drowsy trees.
The air is rich with rose and phlox
And murmurous with bees.
The happy insects drone and hum
'Mid daisies white as curds,
And in the swaying pear and plum
Ripple the songs of birds.
The garden pathway wanders through
The quiet shade until
Beneath an elm it falls into
A creasy crystal rilL
Tho dusty road begins to wind,
And all the balmy scene
Melts softly from my view behind
A cedar's billowy green,
—ft. K. Munkittrick in Youth's Companion.
Could Not Promote Him.
It is well known that Charles XII of
Sweden was a man who united to an in
vincible obstinacy a restless energy and
indomitable valor. It is uot so well known,
however, that he was equally distinguished
for his love of truth. His biographer,
Lundblad, tells the following anecdote of
this last characteristic of his royal hero:
The king had issued most stringent or
ders against dueling, and a major who had
disobeyed and had killed his adversary in
a so called "affair of honor" fled the coun
try.
During the absence of the monarch in
Turkey, however, he returned to his native
land, and again received au appointment
in the Swedish army.
When Charles escaped from captivity
and resumed command of his troops he
met tbe major by chance and recognized
him at once. He said nothing, however,
lor he had need of efficient officers. A short
time afterward the major distinguished
himself in battle and Charles desired to
promote him, but was unwilling to let the
officer suppose that he had not been recog
nized.
One day when reviewing his troops he
suddenly approached the major, and put
the question to him if he were not the man
who had killed a comrade in a duel.
The poor fellow, thrown into confusion
by the sudden accusation, denied his guilt,
whereupon the king turned to his general
and said: "It's too bad! The man lies and
I can't reward him."—Youth's Companion.
A 'Whimsical Frenchman's Burial.
A worthy citizen of the republic of let
ters has been interred at Dole, in the Jura.
According to his written request, he was
put in his coffin ready dressed for re-awak
ening. Under his head was placed a French
edition of Horace, at his feet a copy of Mil
ton, in his right hand a Greek Testament,
in his left hand an Elzevirian edition of
Horace, while under his back lay an En
glish edition of the same Latin poet. The
coffin was painted green—symbolical of
hope. On his tombstone he had engraved
in advance:
"He that you seek still lives."
The funeral cortege, details drawn up by
himself, was limited to his six most inti
mate friends and co-admirers of Horace.
During the lowering of the coffin into the
grave they sang a stanza from an indicated
ode. The funeral ceremony over, the
friends repaired to the residence of the de
ceased's sister, who had been ordered to
serve a Lucullian supper, after which
other indicated stanzas from an ode were
sung. It was furthermore stipulated by
the injunctions that when his friends had
become "slightly heady" and all the for
malities had been executed they were at
once and forever to forget the defunct.—
Paris Cor. Panama Star and Herald.
A Record of One Man.
The records show that men and women,
at the rate of nearly 2,000 a year, disappear
from among their friends more completely
than if the earth opened and swallowed
them up. Some of them turn up again,
but more do not. There is one prominent
name among those missing, one that most
persons in New York will remember. It
is that of S. S. Conant. He was in com
fortable circumstances, was editor of Har
per's Weekly, had hosts of friends, a de
lightful home and an interesting family.
One day the sergeant who keeps the rec
ords had occasion to write in his big book,
"Missing—S. S. Conant,"and then followed
with a description of the man. Money and
the best talent to be found in New York
were used, and without result, so far as
finding him was concerned. Neither the
man, his body nor any trace of him was
found, and it still stands on the records at
police headquarters, "Missing—S. S. Co
nant."—New York Mail and Express.
How Esquimaux Keep Tab.
When an Esquimau baby is born a bag
of skins is fashioned for its sole use, and
in it a record of its age is kept forever
after. Into this bag a little bone is put
once every year, and it is considered a kind
■of sacrilege either to take out or put in a
bone except at the proper time. The year
is reckoned from the time the person first
sees the sun appear upon the horizon—for
that luminary is not a daily visitor in the
land of the frozen north. Four long months
of continual night, lighted only by the
stars and moon; four months of daylight,
without rest from the blinding sun; two
months of glimmering twilight before and
■two after the coming of the sun make up
the Arctic year. They have no register or
notation of time, nor routine of daily life
as we understand it. They eat when they
are hungry and sleep when they are sleepy.
-—St. Nicholas.
Intoxicated Hees.
A singular phenomenon is described in a
Scotch journal. A particular species of
willow tree was in flower, and attached to
these blossoms.which resembled an old fash
ioned bottle brush, were a large number of
the "big black bumble bees" with which i
every school boy is familiar. They re
mained a whole day sipping the extract of
juice and then dropped helplessly to the
ground, hardly able to move, and next
morning were almost dead from exposure.
One was observed to climb a vertical board ,
of a few inches and when near the top to
throw out his legs and fall backward after
the manner of the ordinary inebriate.—
Chicago Herald.
Evils of Imitation.
Head of the Establishment —David, you

The Scent of Hounds. •{
That this is very remarkable all admit,
but the following, by an author of repute,
appears almost past belief, yet is generally ,
admitted to be true: "This much is certain
—that hounds will, on really good scenting
days, carry as good a head, and run as un- .
erringly fifty yards down wind of tho line, j
as they can when following in the actual
track, showing that scent can be diffused
over a very considerable space ofjrronjud;
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1890.
sua instances there are—rare, out well
authenticated —where bounds have been
laid on to a spot where the fox has been
seen to pass, and have failed to show even
an indication of feathering, yet, on being
brought back to the same place after an in
terval of five or ten minutes, have taken
up the line and gone away at score, though
it was absolutely impossible that a fresh
taint could have been left; thus making it
appear that scent may be held in suspense,
or rise for a short period above the reach
of hounds' olfactories, and then settle down
again."—J. N. Hallock in Christian at
Work.
Alarmed Indians.
A celestial phenomenon in the way of an
unusually large meteor was seen a few
miles south of this city recently. It crossed
the heavens from east to west and appar
ently fell in the Tucson mountains west of
the old Sau Xavier church. It was as
largo as a half bushel measure and left a i
luminous track in its course.
The Indians were much excited and filled
with fear, for, said they, "It is an evil
omen and God is about to visit our earth
with dire calamities, disease and great i
famine," and "unless we pay some money
into the church (meaning the Catholic
church) there will be great suffering
among us."
Since then the poor ludiaus have come
together and have had a grand pow-wow,
and have agreed with the "Great Spirit"
to pay him a sum of money to spare them.
While the nickels and the dimes are being
gathered to raise the desired amount they
maintain a constant fear and pray three
times a day.—Tucson Star.
Henry Clay's Old Home.
"The old homestead of Henry Clay," said
Mr. James Harrock, of Frankfort, Ky., "is
the property of Maj. H. C. McDowell, v
relative by marriage of the Clay family. It
retains all the interesting features of the
days when it was the pride of the great
pacificator and the banquet hall for states
men, as well as a hospitable retreat for
jaded and moneyless travelers through the
bluegrass region. Hundreds of persons
visit the historic spot in the course of a
week, and are shown through with true
Kentucky courtesy by Maj. McDowell and
his servants. Within the walls many valu
able relics, which were preserved by Cla3'.
still remain as nearly as possible in tho po
sitions where he placed them. The swords,
the medals, and other trophies, which
would lead one to concludo that they sym
bolized military achievements, were the
presents of friends who showed this mark
of esteem to the conquests of the great
lover of peace.—Chicago News.
Statesmen as Directors.
The statistician has been at work again,
and finds that out of the 509 members of
the house of lords no less than 87 are di
rectors of public companies. Out of these
87 there are S3 peers who share in the di
rection of 122 companies, 83 being dividend
paying concerns. The "most numerous
director," if I may use the expression, is
the Marquis of Tweeddale, who is on the
board of no less than 14 companies, 192 of
which pay dividends. Peers' sons' close
connections do not come so well out of this
statistical ordeal, for I notice that out of
the 103 companies with which 16 scions of
noble houses are connected only 51 are at
present paying dividends.—London Figaro.
A Philadelphia Innovation.
"Philadelphia may be slow in many
things," said a commercial traveler, "but
there is one convenience in operation there
that I would like to see introduced in New-
York. Every barber shop in the Quaker
City able to keep a brush boy has a port
able boot blacking stand which can be
used while the customer is being shaved.
Instead of putting both legs on the 'rest'
in front of him he puts one on the stand,
which is built just the proper height to ac
commodate each foot, the leg being in the
same position as when you are seated in a
chair. I would like to see it introduced
here. A man saves lots of time by it."—
New York Letter.
A Society Item.
Old man Einstine gave a progressive
eucher party at his palatial home in Hoot
ersville not long ago. Mrs. Leibreitz won
the first prize, which was a German silver
pencil case. As the guests were leaving
Mrs. Leibreitz waddled over to her host
and, holding up the prize coquettishly,
asked him how she could use it when there
was no lead in the case.
"Ah, my tear, wheezed the old fellow,

Interments In Westminster Abbey.
A survey of Westminster Abbey, taken
under the direction of the royal commis
sion, has made known the fact that there
still remain ninety places within the edi
fice where interments may take place. By
those members of the commission who are
opposed to anything in the form of an ad
dition to the abbey, this fact is used as an
argument for letting things alone. It is
pointed out that taking the average of tho
last century it will be a long time before
these ninety places are filled up.—Ex

A Premature Exit.
"I hear young Crimsonbeak has been act
ing at your theatre*," said Jay to a theatri
cal man.
"Yes, he has," replied the man addressed,
with meaning.
"How did he act?"
"About as rank as a man cou'.d act."
"You don't say sol What part did he
take?"
"Well, you see, he was acting as treasurer
for the company, and when he left sud
denly he took the larger part of a week's
receipts."—New York Ledger.
The Mount Desert Herald says that when
the famous old Kearsuge sent the Alabama
to the bottom of the sea on that memorable
June day, 1804, her big 11-inch gun, which
did such good service on the occasion, was
manned entirely by a crew of men from
Southwest Harbor, Mount Desert. The
man in charge of the gun was a "native"
of Southwest Harbor, and his first shot
killed and wounded ten men on the Cor. |
federate privateer.
Level of tiie Earth.
The average level of the solid earth has
been calculated by Dr. John Murray to be
1,400 fathoms below sea level; but more
recent explorations show greater ocean
depths, according to Dr. IT. R. Mill, and
a mean sphere level at a depth of 1,700
fathoms. That is, all the landi above the
level of 1,700 fathoms beneath the sea
would have to be filled into the greater
depths in order to give equal height to all
parts of the solid earth.—New York Tele- j
gram.
London gossips have it that Mr. Stanley
made known his engagement in the follow
ing manner: Mr. Stanley observed to a j

would go to Scotland. "Your wedding?"
asked the friend, jokingly. "Yes," replied j
Stanley, "I'm going to marry Miss Dorothy

The mannfactnra of cotton goods in Cey- I

there than in India.
Production of Pure Hot Air from Coal.
A most valuable invention has just been
successfully tested in London, England; it
consists of a mode of producing perfectly
pure air from the combustion of coal. Not
a trace of smoke or fume was visible; not
a taint of any kind was perceptible to the
taste or smell. The stream of air was al
lowed to fall full on the faces of the visi
tors, but save in the matter of temperature
it affected neither the eyes, the throat nor
the nostrils. As a proof of its purity some
choice tea which had been saturated with j
hot water wa6 placed in the hot air current,
aad when redried was pronounced by an
expert to be wholly free from any imparted
taint or taste. In order to show the char- i
acter of the products of combustion before
being submitted to the fiery ordeal the fan
was stopped and a dense cloud of thick
smoke rose up from the coal in the feed
chamber, charged with suffocating fumes.
On restarting the fan it was quietly
drawn in again, but not a sign of it ap
peared at the exit from the fan, and the air
when inhaled was as pure as ever. The
stated theory of the inventor with regard
to this phenomenal combustion is that the
water contained in the coal is decomposed
into oxygen and hydrogen, and that the
hydrogen in burning adds to the heat of I
the resultant air, while the oxygen, re-en
forced as it is by that obtained from the
large volume of fresh air admitted at vari
ous inlets, decomposes and purifies all these 1
products. But whatever tho theory may
be, the fact remains that it is not only pos
sible, but easy and economical, to obtain
the utmost amount of heat from coal with
out any deterioration of the atmosphere.—

Did anyone .ever wonder what becomes
of the old bank bills when too much worn
to be kept in circulation? We know they
are redeemed at tho sub treasuries, but
what is done with them then, or what be
came of the paper money that was in use
several years ago when there was no silver
money in circulation with which to make
change!'
During Grant's administration this scrip
and the accumulation of worn out bank j
bills were gathered together in tho treas
nry at Washington in one huge, ragged,
ill smelling pile, of which tho clerks who
counted it were afraid for fear disease j
lurked iv it. This dirty paper had all been
redeemed with silver money and repre- !
sented hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The pile was set on fire and burned in
the presence of several officials, and after
ward the ashes were taken and mixed with
some adhesive substance. From the com- j
position thus made was modeled a statu- |
ette a foot high of a broken, fluted column,
and also a perfect fac-simile of the old Lib- !
erty bell in Independence hall, Philadel- •
phia. The belttaa the appearance of dark
granite and is six inches high, with the
date 1770 indented upon one side, the famil
iar crack on the other.
These mementoes were presented to the
late Hon. Charles E. Conant, at that time
assistant secretary of the treasury, and it !
was in the home of his family that I saw !
these relics of days past.—Mary L. Wyatt.
A Mountain Tribe.
A strange and interesting class of people
live in the mountain regions of eastern !
Galicia and Bukowina, and in the border
mountains of Hungary. They are called
Huzuls, and are a mixture of two tribes
which were driven out of Slavonia and
Mongolia COO years ago.
They are at present about 30,000 in num
ber, and live In small settlements, seldom
more than six or seven families in a settle
ment. These settlements are called "sta
rosties," the "starost," or governor, being
always the oldest son of the founder of the
settlement and his direct descendants.
This governor has unlimited control of
the people, but he possesses no more lands
or flocks than any other man in the sta- I
rosty, as the fields and sheep which form 1
the wealth and are the pride of the Hu
■to] s are the common property of the set
tlement.
Although they have regular homes, they
make very little use of them as abiding
places. As soon as the first signs of spring,
which they call the "green time," appear
they are off, and for seven months wander
through the mountains as hunters or herds
men, and only the "black time" of winter
brings them back to the settlement. As
to their religious belief, they are heathen,
and are filled with all sorts of strange su- i
_ perstitions.—Youth's Companion.
Easy, Ridiculously So, to Swim.
"The art of swimming is not difficult of
attainment, rather ridiculously easy," said
Professor Donalnson. "All that is wanted
is confidence. When the beginner secures
this all difficulty ceases. A familiarity
with the buoyant power of water should
be gained. A good way to acquire this is
for the beginner to advance breast high
into the water and allow an egg to drop
to the bottom. The object is to dive down
with eyes open and bring up the egg.
"He will soon find by depressiug his feet
he can rise to the top. The thing that will
strike these beginners is the difficulty of
forcing themselves through the water to
reach the egg. This is where the benefit
of the experiment comes in, for the learner
becomes aware of the great sustaining or
supporting power of water, and thus con
fidence is gained."—New York Sun.
To Amateur Poets.
Why do you write poetry? Why does
anyone else who must earn his bread and
butter by brain or muscle write poetry?
i Not that it is not grand and beautiful—
not that the world can do without it—not
that it does not make the world better, but
because there is no money in it. Some of
the great poets have made money, and a
few of the lesser ones have, perhaps, made
a living, but for an amateur there seems to
be no show. Were you today to produce
something better than Tennyson's best
you would find hard work to sell it for a
$5 bill. One who has name and fame to
make should turn to almost Buy other
channel.—Detroit Free Press.
The Value of Nose Breathing.
Breathing through the nose saves irrita
tions of the throat and lungs by warming
the air if cold, by straining it if dusty, be- j
fore it reaches their more delicate mem- '
branes. Breathing through the nose se- j
cures the uniform temperature of that j
organ through the constant expelling of
warm air. Breathing through the nose
strengthens the muscles of the diaphragm, !
thus inducing deeper and fuller respira- j
i tion. Emphasize the object of breathing
and show how the minute blood cells, !
through their system of thread like cap
illaries, become tho wonderful builders
and repairers of the body.—New York
Journal.
