- “THE HOUSE OF NEVER ?”

Its gates are reached by a devious way,
Hidden from all but an angal’s eye.
It winds about and in and out
The hills and dales to sever.
Ones over the hills of the By-and-by
in the house

And you’re lost of

Never.

‘The house of Never is filled with
waits,
With just in-a minutes and pretty
SOONS ;
Tie noise of their wings as they beat
the gates
Comes back to earth in the after-
noons, |
When shadows fly across the sky
And rush in rude endeavor
To question the hills of the By-and-by,

As they ask for the house of Never.

‘The house of Never was built with
tears 5
And lost in the hills of the By-and-by
Are a million hopes and a million
fears—
A baby’s smiles and a woman’s cry.
The winding way seems bright to-day,
Then darkness falls forever,
For over the hills of the By-ana-by,
Sorrow waits in the house of Never.”

| WEEK.zY CROP BULLETIN.

 

The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Crop Bulletin, issued by the
North Carolina Climate and Crop Ser-
vice, for the week ending Saturday,
June 20th, 1896, indicate again gener.
ally favorable conditions except over
limited areas in the northern portian
of the Esstern District and a few cen.
tral counties, where crops are sufferinz
from too much rain. ‘The tempera-
ture was below the normal the first
three days of the week, and reached
normal or slightly above the latter part.

‘ WESTERN ‘DISRICT.
Generally cool and cloudy weather,
with frequent rains, prevailed — this
week ; the ram-fall was excessive in
only oneer two counties (Buncombe
and McDowell), where lands were

ing rapidly ; but in spite of these draw-
backs crops made rapid growth da ‘ing

the week, and the general outlook con-,

tinues good. Winter oats cut, and

though short, are,not altogether a fail-

ure, as many report them good now.

Wheat nearly housed, except in north
and west, where cutting is going on ;

thrashing is progressing slowly. Corn
made a fine growth, and is being laid

by; corn planted in March now in silk

and tassel; chincu bugs doing some

damage. Nights have been stiil too

cool for cotton, arfd lice are checking

growth, but crop fine nevertheless.

Many cabbage plazts were transplanted

in the west this week. Meadows are

now fine.

A LITTLE LAMB ASTRAY.

Oh, I wonder it there ever

Was a little girl like me,

With so many, many heart aches

That nobody seems to see.

Oft I’ve heard the great, wis? preach-
ers,

And the deacons good and kind,

Tell about the way to heaven,

And how easy ’tis to find. ;

And I’ve thought and thought upon it ;
For I long to know the way ;

But I’m such an awful sinner

That Lam afraid to pray.

Now I wish they’d come and tell me
How their Jesus I migh. meet,
For they say he loves the children,
And will guide their tender feet.
Into pastures green and pleasant,
And by waters calm and still;
Make them gems of brilliant beauty,

Their Redeemer’s crown to fill.

I have tried so hard to find him,

 

to cultivate crops, Which are becoming |
very grassy in many localities. |
EASTERN DISTRICT. |
‘Loo much rain occurred again this
week in the northern counties from
Halifax east to Currituck, where crops
have been damaged, are deep in grass,
and farmers have little chance to culti-
vate them. This is the only section
where the condition of crops is not gen-
erally favorable. Rain- is somewhat
needed in portions ot Pender, Craven
and Columbus counties. Some local
damage by hail-storms occurred én the
night of the 13th in Nash and Wilson,
“and oa the 18th in Pitt county. Ex-
cept the first three days, which were too
cool, the weather was favoroble, with
showers here and there on almost every
day of the week. Corn. is growing
well ; much has been laid by; chinch
bugs doing but little damage !n this sec-
tion. Cotton has improved, except. in
the north, and is blooming in many
places ; there is much complaint of lice.
Tobacco is being topped and some far-
mers expect to begin curing in two
weeks. Sweet potatoes doing well ;
Irish potatoes nearly all shipped ; wa-
termelons growing nicely,

There’s a little lamb astray.

Ancient Advertising.

‘It is affirmed that the first newspaper.
advertisement apreared in 1642, during
the civil war in Great Britain.

In Greece it was the public crier who
announced sales or bid the people come
to-the theater or-yisit.the public baths.

In medieval times 1t was the public

\crier who went around enumerating the

Soods that a,certain merchant had for
sale.

In England the first printed adver-

tisement was gotten up by Caxton the

eelebrated printer, who announced the

completion of “The Pyes of Salisbury,”

a book containing a collection of rules |
tor the guidance of priests in the cele-

bration of Easter.

The advertising card is of entirely
modern origin, although the Egyptians
Greeks, and Roman knew something

of posters, as several bills, painted in
black and red, were discovered on the
walls of the Pompeiian dwelling.

The first authentic advertisement was
published in the Mercurus Politicus, of
1652. In the year 1637 a weekly
newspaper devoted to the inter sts of

Wood That Will Not Burn.

Fireproof wood will form an im-
portant item in the building of futuye
men-of-war and other vessels. The
process consists in forcing sulphate
and phosphate of ammonia into the
wood by hydraulic pressure, and it is
said that the most gratifying results
have been obtained from woods treated
by it, they having been subjected to
high temperatures without igniting,
the only effect being a slight carbon-
izing on account of the intense heat.
With a steel jacket, to protect it from
the offensive attentions of the enemy
and noninflammable inside wear, the
modern warship will be a reasonably
safe craft in which to put the public
money and the lives of the aquatically-
inclined portion of its population.—

“MAIL FOR MINERS.

 

How Letters Are Delivered in the
Rocky Mountains.

 

An ‘Undertaking Which Is Exceedingly
Hazardous in Winter—The Unique
Free Delivery System of
the Miners.

 

Probably the most unique method of
| transporting mails known in the
‘United States post oftice department is
that in daily use between Telluride and
Smuggler. The mining town of Tell-
uride is located at the head of a pictur-
) esque guich. The mountains rise in
iajesty to cloud-piereing heights about
the town, and from every propitious }
diaw between the giant peaks, foam-
ing cascades, waterfalls and roaring
streams come down from the snow-
laden suminits to swell the torrent of
the San Miguel, which rushes through
the town. Four miles above Telluride
is Marshall basin, situated among the
snowy peals and far a} ‘rnher line,

Althoneh ths inhebitan.s Lave a post
i Gflice of their own, the postal author-
ities do not guarantee a regular serv-
ice, because of the difficulty of keeping
atrailopen in the winter time. The dan-
gerous showslides constantly threaten
destruction to the hardy miners who
scramble through the snows up the
steep trails to the settlements in Mar-
shall basin. Untilinrecent years all sup-
plies for the camp in Marshall basin
were transported thither by pack ani-
mals. Timber for the miners, coal for |
the boilers, and iron rails were dragged
over the trails or packed securely about
swaying pack saddles and carried to an
elevation of 12,000 feet. by the burro,
When winter closed down and the burro
trains could not longer be driven on
schedule time the miners would take
turns in going down on snowshoes
to get the mails and a few necessary
supplies that could be carried upon
their backs.

Sut the practical application of the
endless chain by the inventor of the
Huson tram has greatly facilitated the
transportation of supplies from Tellu-
ride up to Marshall basin. Great iron
buckets, each carrying down the moun-
tain a half ton of ore, furnish by their
weight the active power which drives
the endless chain from which they are
suspended. In these buckets, upon
their retucn, the necessary supplies for
the camp are placed. One of the buckets
is painted a bright red color, and the
letters “U. 5S. Afail,” in biack, desig-
nate the use to which it is put. The
‘daily mail for Smuggler post office is
now delivered as regularly across the
four miles of precipice, snow-buried
guiches, and giant mountain rugged-
ness with as much safety as between
two settlements in the prairies of west-
ern Kansas or Nebraska.

Just over the ridge of peaks from
Marshall basin is the post office of
Mount Sneffels near the famous Virgin-
ius mines, seven miles above Ouray, a
mining town which is as picturesquely
located as Telluride. 1 good wagon
trail leads from Ouray up the mountain
side to Virginius mine, but in the win-
ter time the trail fills with snow, an oc-
casional slide destroys the continuity
of the route so that sledding cannot be
done, and the mails are carried by men
with snowshoes. There are a number
of snowshoe routes .in the mountains
of Colorado, but none more hazardous
than this one. The men who carry the
mails over snowshoe routes seldom
meet with accident. They have learned
to understand the peculiarity of snow-
slides, and when a high wind is blow-
ing or other meteorological conditions
make traveling along the trails danger-
ous, they postpone their trips until set-
tled weather returns. Sometimes the
mails are two weeks iy arrears wher
the mail carriers dare to venture forth.

A free delivery system is in vogue in
» the mining districts, though the posta!
authorities have nothing to do with it.
From every mountain post office trails
diverge up every draw and gulch. .\
miner setting out for his cabin, perched
somewhere far up on a mountain, will
take with him all the mail belonging to
his neighbors, though they may live
j luiles from his place. At each turning-
off point a small box will be found
nailed seenrely to the trunk of a ston:
old pine tree, and upon this box is
scrawled the names of all miners who
must pass that tree in going to their re-
spective cabins. Into this box the last
man from town deposits all the mail ;
belonging .to miners living up that
i purtieular gulch. From that guleh a
miner will occasionally descend for the
mail, and as he returns. up his trail he
deposits in tnrn the several pieces
of mail in other boxes placed at con-

SHOULD WOMAN WEEP?

If She Must, Let Her Shed Her Tears
Artistically. 7
. “Should woman weep?” is a topic of
discussion by the readers of Woman, a
London publication. One contributor
puts in a most emphatic “No!” The
crying woman, it is maintained, is out
of date—she belongs to the ’40’s and
’50’s, and not to this end of the century.

man the righteous ruler. Now all is
changed. The new woman is here and
she rules; therefore, she should not
ery.

In the opinion of another writer, a
woman should cry provided she does so
“noiselessly.” “If her face begins to
swell, all wails should cease and she
must not sniff, gulp or otherwise make |
an object of herself. Lf she does all the |
pathos of her erying is gone.” The |
idea is thrown out that “style” in weep-
ing should be cultivated; for there are
geveral “forms” of weeping. “Some weep
alone to their pillow in the dead of
light.” This, it is held, is a mistake,
because it makes the weeper old and
ugly before her time, and does not do
anybody the slightest good,

Then there is the woman who is cry-
ing at every opportune and inopportune
moment. That is bad form in weeping.
The “whimpering style, with a griev-
ance, usually found in the past. middle-
age lady,” is to be shunned. The worst
form of all is the “red-faced cry of tem-
per,” which usually asserts itself in an
injudicious stamp of the beautifully
arched Trilby and ends in a general
stampede of the assembled multitude.

 

 

~ Compiexion Hints.

Overfrequent washing of the. face
should be avoided. Some physicians in-
sist that the face shouid be washed but
once a day, and then in tepid water.

A certain amount. of exercise js in-
dispensable. Brisk morning waiks,
regularly taken and persistently . ad-
hered to, produce a healthy glow that
defies artificial imitation.

Avoid rich and greasy foods. Though
it is practically useless to tell a woman
to abjure sweets, it may be suggested
that they are complexion destroyers,
and that the fewer one eats the fairer
one’s skin is likely to be.

Massage is recommended by many
who have made a special study of the
| fine art of complexion-preserving. A
gentle kneading of the face ai night and
in the morning makes the skin soft and
healthy.

Famous beauties nearly all unite in
giving testimony thot a thorougi
steaming of the face at night is wonder-
fully effective in producing a clear com-
plexion. This is done by holdiug the
face over a bow] of hot water.—Chicago
Record. ,
