Tlie Mysterious Light That For Years Haunted Cape Noir. For many years on Cape Nolr, the western point of Maria, a strange light was seen, dancing and moving about in the most unaccountable man ner. At one moment it would rise like a column of fire into the air, and at an other time it would fall like a meteor. Then it would seem to leap over the point and drop into the sea, afterward appearing again in the same spot on the hillside. The habitants tell this story about it: In the time of the war for the pos session of Canada a French vessel, pursued by an English warship, steered its course into the bay at this point for refuge. A boat was lowered from the side of the richly laden mer chantman, and in this thirteen men swiftly rowed to the shore. Their ob ject was to secrete a chest of gold which they had brought with them. On reaching the point they drew lots to see which of the men should remain to guard the treasure. Thq one to whom the lot fell was forced to swear a solemn oath, by, land and sea, by night and day, by the ruler of the nether world, that he would be faithful to the trust through life, unless re lieved by his returning comrades, and even after death would haunt the spot should no one come to his place, says a writer in the Era. To secure the fulfillment of' this vow his wicked associates then and there put him to death and buried him with the treasure. The ghostly light was supposed to be the spirit of the mur dered man, and many persons who, tempted by the hope of recovering the treasure, ventured into the haunted spot fled in terror and told blood curdling stories of the horrible phan toms and frightful sights which they had witnessed. The light is seen no longer. Perhaps some adventurer bolder than the rest Succeeded in dis covering the gold, carried it off and thus gave rest to the unquiet spirit. TO CURE CORNS. A Fev»- Remedies, Cheap nml Simple, and Involving No Danger. When the feet are pressed into t.'ght fitting shoes—high heels make the pressure greater—by adding friction we have a needlelike point formed in the skin, and the greater the pressure the deeper the point will grow. The best preventive remedy known is real ly to go barefooted, but since this is not considered ethical in civilized life I will give a few simple remedies which may be of some value for the afflicted: First.—Place on the corn a piece of cold, moist linen folded several times, wrap it up in dry linen, then go te bed. With this treatment the hard epider mis swells up, and after six or eight hours the outer covering of the- corn can be removed with a dull knife. When this treatment has been followed for three or four days, a small needle like growth (the corn) can be extracted without pain or bleeding. By washing the feet often in cold water the tender place will heal rapidly. After getting rid of this corn it is well to wear shoes which are neither too large nor too small so as to avoid excessive pressure or friction. Second.—ln place of the Jinen a crust of bread soaked in vinegar may be ap plied. Third.—The best application is to soak a whole onion twenty-four hours In vinegar, then apply one of the layers of the onion to the c orn and keep it in place by a bandage through the night. After repeating this; procedure a few times the corn ea a be removed without any trouble. By eitTaer of these simple applications this troublesome agent can be removed witiiout any danger of blood poison and “free of charge.’’—St. Louis Republic. Corse ts.

Editor Journal: — You told, me when I left River Falls for this trip that I must this time make my promise good and write you, so this afternoon as I am waiting for the stage to take me to my next destination, I will drop you a few lines. This is a delightful time of the year to be here. The recent showers have turned the brown of summer to a fresh May green. No frost; the landscape is as fresh and green as in the spring. The principal occu pation of the farmers about here is fruit raising. Of these there is a great variety cultivated and im mense quantities raised. This is the harvest time for many kinds of fruit and large quantities are being brought to market. It is a strange sight to me to see many four and six-horse loads of peaches, pears, prunes and grapes standing in line waiting for their turn to unload at the packing houses and wineries. I had always thought of the fruits of California as coming from the southern part of the state, but I find that the Sacramento Valley produces a large part of the best varieties of oranges, lemons, prunes, plums, pears, peaches, apples, (none in the foothills) figs and olives. Of the nut varieties there are grown almonds, English wal nuts and chestnuts, in fact it looks as though anything can be raised here where water for irrigation can be had. Strawberries are fresh from the vines all the year round. I notice that the flavor of the apple is not so fine as that of the apples from Michigan and New York — more spongy and tasteless. Flowers are in bloom about. I notice now the oleander, which is an out-of-door shrub here and grows very large, is loaded down with blossoms, and the roses, though not so abundant as in the spring, are quite profuse. The annoyance here at this time is the mosquito. They go through the screens and are a pesky nuisance in doors and out. The common house fly is also here in countless numbers—in vast swarms. The nights are very cool here and if I go out evenings for the train or by stage am obliged to wear a win ter overcoat, and on one’s bed wool blankets are a necessity. For the last two or three weeks I have been in the Sierra Mountains* in the northern part of the state. Mt. Shasta is in this range and I could see snow every day. On one divide which I crossed by stage I was over 6,000 feet above sea level and in snow for half an hour; inside of three hours I was down in the valley where the weather was like that of a perfect June day. That was passing from mid winter to summer the quickest I ever experi enced. It is oftentimes a great pleasure to travel by stage, especial ly when I can secure my favorite top seat on the coach next to the driver. While obtaining a good view of the mountains and valleys I get on good terms with the driver and encourage him to tell his oft repeated lies about his hair-breadth escapes from danger. These driv ers are generally old men who have followed staging from early life and think it degrading to be in any other calling. They tell you about how in this place—pointing with a whip —they were held up and robbed by “road agents,” and at such a place the Indians killed the stage horses and wounded the driver, also that in one place, a rocky turn, a big, grizzly bear came out and killed his near leader. These drivers like to tell these stories. They have a peculiar twang of voice and an un common dialect, but they are inter esting. I enjoy a short ride on these old, Concord, thorough-brace stages, but a long journey in one is very tedious. The drivers are, as a rule, jolly jokers. I remember once getting into my favorite seat and comfort ably seated. The driver, on climb ing up, looked at me and got down, saying: “Come down out of that.” “What is the matter with you?” I asked. “Well, if you will promise to keep your face in line with the horses and not look sideways you may stay; for if you should look sideways while on the divide you would turn the whole outfit clean round and we would be coming in stead of going.” I knew I had a generous nose and was frequently told about it, but this was the toughest crack I ever had. Yesterday I went into a fig and olive plant. The figs were brought in in boxes, first sorted, then dipped in brine, drained and put onto long tubes xvhere women and young girls were packing them, first cutting in two, then put in layers in moulds, then ta the press, from there to the trimming tubes, then wrapped in paper and put in boxes, the way we see them for sale. The olives were first washed in brine, then run through a sizing machine, the large ones saved for table use, the small er going to the large crushing ma chine, from there to presses. The oil is filtered several times in vari- ous ways, the last through paper— a very simple process. I am told the raising of this fruit is very profitable. Oranges are just coming in. They are brought to the packing houses, sorted, sized, brushed by machinery and rolled into bins, where women and girls wrap them in paper and place in boxes. The almonds are nearly all gathered and shucked— for there is a coarse, heavy shuck around them. At a winery where I was a few days ago, wagon loads of grapes were standing in line waiting turns at the crushers. The grapes were run through just as gathered, the juice run off to cisterns and the skins, seeds and stems to vats and then to the distillery. This is what wine brandy is made from. Further south I shall be in the raisin country. For the next three weeks I am to be in the mining districts of the Sierras, a hard trip by stage, buckboard and burro back. The last season in the mines I went from a place called Oleta over the top of the mountain to Volcano on burro back so as not to be obliged to go thirty or more miles around by buckboard, and not wishing to go over alone, two Italian women piloted me over. They walked while going up very steep places. I thought the behst was laboring hard, and looking round, saw both the ladies had a grip on the poor burro’s “narrative” for help. I learned pretty quickly how to ride going down grade. If my feet touched the burro’s ears he would throw me and when coming to a very steep place he would just sit down and slide. After all I rather enjoy the change from a home life to a wanderer, for if one keeps his eyes open he sees many things of interest and profit. My next headquarters will be Golden Eagle Hotel, Sacramento, Cal., where I hope to be in two or three weeks. With kind wishes, I am yours, W. W. Thayer. MARRIED.

WAVES OF WATER. } For over 1,200 miles the Nile does not receive a single tributary stream. The Jordan Is the crookedest river known, winding 213 miles in a distance of GO. The Potomac river is only 500 miles long and in its lower course is rather am estuary than a stream. The highest of all navigable rivers Is the Tsangpo, which flows for nearly I, miles at an elevation of from 11, to 14,000 feet The Indus, the second sacred river of India, is 1,700 miles long. Its waters have always been considered almost as holy as those of the Ganges. Three rivers as big as the Rhine would just equal in volume the Gan ges, three Ganges the Mississippi and two Mississippls the Amazon. When free from ice, the Yukon river is navigable for large steamers 1,965 miles, a distance more than twice as great as that from Chicago to New Orleans. Testing the Sermon. The minister of a parish in a part of New England where doctrinal points are considered of great importance says that his test of a satisfactory ser mon is the opposite of that which is commonly applied. “My clerical friends in the city tell me that so long as their congregations appear wide awake and interested they feel encouraged,” he said to a visitor, “but with me it’s different “Of course I wish to interest the con gregation, but if I look over to Deacon Drew’s pew and then to Deacon Snow’s and see them with their eyes closed and heads nodding I feel that all is weii. Just as surely as I discover them wide awake and alert after I’ve been preaching for ten minutes I know that there’s something wroDg to their minds and that I shall hear what it is as soon as the service is over.”— Youth’s Companion* Make Money After School Hours.
