For unknown wealth in fabulously rich mines of gold and silver and sparkling precious gem stones, not to mention the lovely^scenery, our own Rocky Moun­ tains excel any region on earth.

Extracts From Some Letters of the Subtle and Charming Old Critic. "Talk is impossible to me," Raskin writes in 1864, "owing to the state of quiet rage and wonder at everything impiejay and do, in which! habitually li*8." '*1 don't get mellow tempered as I get old," he writes some years lat­ er; which is true, for to another corre­ spondent he says: " Nothing can advance art in. any district of this accursed ma­ chine and devil driven England. I lec­ ture here (at; Oxford), but only on tha art of the past." < > - k- "How inexpressibly subtle and pene­ trating," he writes to a young man, "is the principle of pride! How it mingles itself with, and even pretends itself to be, and takes the likeness of, the noblest feelings in the world--and what a con­ stant struggle it needs even to detect, much more to expel it! It is like oxygen in iron--the hottest fire will not expel it altogether--and it steals in with the very air we breathe, turning all our steel into rust.." " Things that require steady labor, " he writes to the same correspondent, "there are indeed for all of us to do, but they ore the coal heaving part of our life and to be done with a slow step and bent back, patiently, not in a passion, not trying to beat our brother coa.I heavers, but only to carrying as many coals as we 2an comfortably. But the great things which require genius to do are done sasily if you have the genius. If you are to do anything that is really glorious, and for which men will forever wonder at you, you will do it as a duck quacks --because it is yonr nature to quack- when it rains." "Do yon know, Watts," he asked a friend in 1849, "to my mind the only real painter of history or thought we have in England?" "There's nothing here like CarpaGeio," he writes from Venice to Sir Edward Burne-Jones. "There's a bit of humble pie for you. 1 don't give up my Tintoret, but his dis­ solution of expression into drapery and shadow is too licentious for me now." ."I've been going to the old masters," he writes to Mr. Murray, "and staring at the Sir Joshua's. My stark, what that fellow could do!" And here finally are some flying shafts at certain modern imitators of Turner: "I have been now for 40 years vainly and always louder and louder growling and thundering in­ to the deaf ears of the artists who fancied they admired Turner: 'Lead pencil point--pencil, sir! Pencil -- pencil- till you can manage your blacklead-- then color if you will.' They never at­ tend to one word that I say, but go on daub, daub, daub to their deaths, and do nothing or worse."--Atlanta Constitu­ tion. The Circus Kitchen. At five minutes past 4 a shout from the crowd indicates the approach of the three huge cook wagons, each weighing 20 tons and drawn by six horses. From ] the first of them rise three chimneyB, I out of which black smoke is pouring. j This wagon carries the 16 foot cooking range, where fires were started the mo- J ment the wagon was unloaded from the! train. Already, while rolling toward the circus grounds, the ten cOoks have been making active preparations for the break-! fast which must be served within two- hours to 700 hungry people. /* When the three wagons have drawn up on the site of the still unraised cook tent, three butchers with heavy cleavers at once begin work upon the sides of beef, legs of mutton and loins of pork} (500 pounds in all) that must forthwith be changed into steaming steaks, chops and cutlets. A boiler is set up and steam pipes are connected from it with the big urn which must furnish 2,000 cups of coffee shortly, and with the warming pans on the tables where the meats are served. While this is doing by one set of men, others are raising the. tent, building 12 long tables and/lnp^ck- ing 20 large green boxes thatxjontain 6,000 dishes and countless kitchen uten­ sils.--McClure's Magazine. Robert Collyer's Father. And now about my father, writes the Rev. Robert Collyer, D. D., in The La­ dies' Home Journal. I think still he was as good a smith as I have ever known, a man who would forge no He in iron or steel, with soft, steadfast brown eyes, strong and sinewy arms to labor and never sick a day I can re­ member, always at his work until he fell dead that day with the hammer in his hand. Blacksmiths, I think, are usu­ ally silent men. The old Beechers were, as I have heard, who were of this craft, silent men who left the pent up speech to their sons and grandsons. This was my father also. He was a silent man, while both father and mother were as free from contagions and infections as the sound oaks are and the stars, so that the - microbes, when they came in the dread­ ful form of fevers, found nothing ,'ia them for prey. Not Quite Bight. /; No man is a hero to his valet, and perhaps lio poet to his baker. > He lives in Putney, and almost every day he walks a few miles to Wimbledon and • goes to a cakeskop there, where he-buys cakes to give to a little group of poor : children, who have learned to look for- j ward to this frequent treat. Some one • who knew the poet by sight, said to the shopkeeper, "Do you know who this gentleman who buys so many cakes of j you is?" f "Oh, he's a poor gentleman who isn't ,v: quite right in his head. He's always buying bakes for- the children. "--Chap Book. 'A Agujardi's Volc«. Agnjari, better known as La Bas- ; tardella, had an incredibly high range ; of voice. Mozart heard her in 1770 and expressed the greatest delight. She sang B in altissimo with perfect e<(fce and performed cadenzas deemed impossible for the human voice. During a great part of her professional career she re­ ceived .about $500 a night, a sum then equal to about 500 in the money of our time. McHENRY,' ILL.

The God of the Scientists Is a Real, Living God. JRaonl Pictet, the learned Swiss phys­ icist whose researches in low tempera­ ture--in the very domain of sympathetic vibratory physics--have brought him out of the "impenetrable cloud," in which materialistic science has wrapped the mysteries of nature, into the light of religious science after listening to "a wholesale" condemnation of scientific research from a Roman Catholic bishop, said to him, "Have you ever seen God?" " Of course not," the bishop answered. "Then I have this advantage as are- searcher of truth over theologians," re­ plied Professor Pictet, "for the longer I study the phenomena of nature the more distinctly I see God in all of nature's operations." When Edison was asked, "Do you be- liove in a personal God?" "Certainly," he answered. ' *The existence of God can, to my mind, almost be proved from chemistry." "The reason for skepticism andunbe liovers is not to be wondered atr" writes Thornton, "when men interested in scientific research find no evidence, from their experiments, of the presence of God iu the universe. How could this be otherwise? God has to man but a sub­ jective existence, which could never bo reached by any known mode of experi­ ments. Therefore mail must get outside of himself, which means that he must 'die* to know God and the reality of things."--Mrs. Bloomfield Moore in New Science Review. DR. A. E.

Mr. Rudolf Lelimann declares that he once found political animosity of great service to him in painting a portrait. His sitter was a London lady who be • longed to a family renowned for its stanch political opinions. It was 'the height of summer and very hot. The lady was inclined to be stout, and under the influence of the heat she now and then fell into a nap, to the serious an­ noyance of the painter. Her husband, who knew her weakness in this regard, asked Mr. Lehmann in the lady's absence if he had experienced any trouble of this kind. Mr. Lehmann could not deny it. "Very well," said the husband, "the next time it occurs you just mention Mr. Gladstone, and you will have no further difficulty." The artist took the hint, with imme­ diate effect. Henceforth the lady was al­ most too wide awake.--Youth's Com­ panion. Lifting Power. "The growth of a few tiny rootlets," observed the teacher of the botany class, "has beeu known to lift a heavy rock from its place, and the root of a tree growing out under a stone sidewalk will sometimes push it up and break it. Oth­ er cases of a like nature showing the strong uplifting power of vegetable growth have occurred, I doubt not, with­ in your own observation. Is it not- so?" ~-;"Yes'm," said the boy with the faded hair. "I've heard my paw say his last year's corn crop lifted a mortgage off his farm. "--Chicago Tribune. The Big Sandy i '.ver in Kentucky was so called on account of its sand bars. The Indian name Chatteroi has a similar meaning. One tribe called it We-pe-po- co-ne-ce-pe-we, another the Si-ke-a-ce- pe. or "Salt river." • What can be more foolish than to think all this rare fabric of heaven aim earth could come by chance, when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster?--Jeremy Taylor.
