PARADISE. Oh, not afar in distant skies The shining hills of heaven rise. In loving hearts lies paradise, And loving words are keys that ope The portals to that land of hope. Oh, planning hearts that droop and sigh, To watch the bitter days go by. Heaven itself is close and nigh. Ever about us angels go, Threading these tollsome ways below. We do not see them—do not know. But hearts that throb with loving thought, And lips that whisper, heaven taught. The loving words the Master brought— These are the angels we would know, And these the shining feet that go Making a paradise below. Oh, not afar in distant skies, But close at hand, the blessing lies— In loving hearts lies paradise. Look up, sad soul! the world is fair, And heaven and love are everywhere! -Dorothy Deane in Minneapolis Housekeeper. KENILWORTH IVY. If You Want the Real Thing, Never Go to Kenilworth Castle For It. "Could I get some slips of Kenilworth ivy anywhere about the ruins?" I heard a woman ask of the lodgekeeper at Kenilworth castle one day," said a traveler. "You are an American, aren't you, madam? asked the keeper, with a smile." "Why, yes, but what of that?" responded the lady, with some slight embarrassment. "All American ladies come and ask me for Kenilworth ivy after they have searched in every nook and corner of the ruins for it," explained the keeper. "They have told me how common it is in America and how much it is prized, and generally explained that they have promised to take some of the real thing back from Kenilworth ruins for friends at home. They tell me they expected to find the ruins of Kenilworth castle overgrown with the beautiful "Kenilworth ivy," and that it is generally supposed in America that such is the case, and that the ivy first came from here or is named after these ruins because of its abundance here." "The woman nodded assent to all this, and the keeper continued: "But what you know as "Kenilworth ivy" doesn't grow in or about Kenilworth ruins, as you've no doubt discovered." And he smiled again, and the woman also smiled in an embarrassed way, for she had been hunting every inch of the ruins over, looking for the plant. 'From the description of the plant which Americans give me I think it is what we call ground or wood ivy that you treasure so much. It has a small, bright green leaf and bears a tiny white flower. It grows on the ground in the thickets and under the hedges in cool places, but I never saw it growing on a wall as the common ivy does. I don't secretary Scott of the viticultural commission said: "California wines have already received splendid recognition from foreign experts. We intend to carry the battle right into the heart of the finest producing district of clarets in the world. Five years ago an effort to convince the bottlers of French wine that we had wines worthy of their recognition might have been hopeless. There are, however, in this state 100 or more men who have in view the production of the very highest types of wine, whether these types be of claret, Burgundy, Rhine wines or any other kind. These people know that we have an area of country suitable for winemaking as large and as varied as all of the countries of Europe outside of Russia. "We want to put samples of all our wines before the countries of the world, and we have never before had such an opportunity as is now presented in the Bordeaux exposition. We do not claim that we have the very best of everything, but we do want to show to all corners that we have at least as good wine as can be shown by any country. All that we ask is an equal and fair chance with any country, and I think it is fortunate for the state that the means exist for inviting such a comparison without any undue expense to the individual winemakers. The commission intends to collect all of the samples. The samples will be sent on, and due care will be taken that fair play is done to all concerned. All that we are waiting for is for complete particulars as to the expense."—San Francisco Chronicle. A Malay Water Slide. In Perak, a state in the Straits Settlements, the Malays have one form of amusement which is probably not to be enjoyed anywhere else in the wide world. There is a huge granite slope in the course of a mountain river, down which the water trickles about two inches deep, the main stream having carved out a bed by the side of the bowlder. This rock, the face of which has been rendered as smooth as glass by the constant flow of water during hundreds of years, the Malays—men, women and children—have turned into a toboggan. Climbing to the top of the rock, they sit in the shallow water with their feet straight out and a hand on each side for steering and then slide down the 60 feet into a pool of water. This is a favorite sport on sunny mornings, as many as 200 folks being engaged at a time and sliding so quickly one after another or forming rows of two, four or even eight persons that they tumble into the pool a confused mass of screaming creatures. There is little danger in the game, and though surrounded by names they cannot reach and often perish.—Tokyo Journal. THE CONFIDENTIAL PAPER. The Briton Complains, Praises and Says In His Daily Journal. The newspaper is a member of family in England and regularly offers breakfast with the other members. The London Times is a kind of son among newspapers, and Punch jolly bachelor uncle, who makes social visits. Englishmen take newspapers into their confidence have a half way of writing to have all sorts of subjects. If an English boy runs in to complain to mamma of the rough treatment of playmates, and later on the first step followed by others, in which they parative merits and cost of light life on the continent, in Seri tam, in Kamchatka and everyone where Englishmen have eaten drunk—and where have they not these?—is discussed au fond. If he stumble and fall in Rotten row, are letters on the subject which goes to matter of roadbuilding, make horsemanship and like, with questions from Virgil and anecdotes of dents that happened half a century. Not only the more serious weekly also the daily newspapers, give one impression that they feel themselves some extent responsible for the corpory auditing of the accounts on day of judgment. On the other hand, better class of English news do not indulge in rash suppositions hasty generalizations, uncertain guts at probable future happenings and daily exploitation of the personal affairs of notorious nobodies. And once permitted to say diffidently than haps this is preferable. If Mr. Bailor for example, were to go abroad on holiday, it would be considered wise to chronicle his doings and dining absolutely brutal and boorish to particulars of the dress and behavior his sister, or his wife, if he had The sense of fair play of a native sportsman does not permit an edictorment even his enemy from behold woman's petticoats.—Price Collider Forum. A Question of Recognition. Miss Kitty—Mamma, will we folks in heaven same as we do her Mamma—I think there is no doubt that, my dear. "Will I know Jane Gopplins?" "Who is Jane Gopplins?" "She's the big freckled girl that over the grocery store down the street." "If you are both good enough to..." But what you know as "Kenilworth ivy" doesn't grow in or about Kenilworth ruins, as you've no doubt discovered.'

It grows on the ground in the thickets and under the hedges in cool places, but I never saw it growing on a wall as the common ivy does. I don't think there is much of it anywhere hereabouts, but it grows in abundance in some places farther south. The American ladies always seem very much disappointed when I tell them "Kenilworth ivy" doesn't grow here in Kenilworth, and I'm very sorry I can't give you some, ma'am.' "And the woman turned away, with a little sigh, as she thought of the hanging basket at home which was to have been filled with 'real Kenilworth ivy' and of the many friends to whom she had promised slips of the 'real thing' when it had grown. The ruins of Kenilworth castle are covered with thick masses of ivy, but it isn't 'Kenilworth ivy,' but just the common kind."—New York Sun. The Aim of Christ's Work. "Peace on earth" was the aim of Christ's work in this world, writes Edward Bellamy in The Ladies' Home Journal. The whole gist of his doctrine and the burden of his teaching consisted in counsels to men how to put an end to strife with their fellow men and live together with them in mutual helpfulness. All this teaching, which was the whole content of his gospel, was grouped about and crystallized in the golden rule, whereon our modern world is founded as on everlasting foundation. To believe in Christ and not to believe in the golden rule as the only plan for social organization seems to us a moral and rational impossibility—an unthinkable proposition. Just this, however, our ancestors undertook to do, and it is fair to admit that they were very frank about it. They made no pretenses. An Apt Reply. Napoleon's apt replies often excited good humor in a crowd. A large and brawny fishwoman once was haranguing the mob and telling them not to disperse. She finished by exclaiming: "Never mind those coxcombs with epaulets on their shoulders. They care not if we poor people all starve if they can but feed well and grow fat." Napoleon, who was as thin as a shadow, turned to her and said, "Look at me, my good woman, and tell me which of us two is the fatter." The fish fag was completely disconcerted, and the mob dispersed.—Exchange. An Original. Little Marjorie—There are lots of little Marjories nowadays, but none other at all like this one.

"It is a curious, but accepted truth," comments the wife of a naval officer who has resided a number of years in Japan, "that Americans, as a class, do not long stand up against Japan life. There is something in the air, or something lacking in it, which is peculiarly trying to us. So many naval officers serving a three or six years' duty there have come home with an incurable complaint that it is common talk in the service. Two admirals have died of abcess of the liver after several years' residence there, and other officers have had their health seriously impaired under similar conditions. I never was seriously sick in my life till I got out to the island empire, and throughout my whole stay I fought something. The English residents do not seem to suffer as we do, which is also a commented upon fact."—New York Times. Planes. Excellent planes may be bought in Europe at perhaps two-thirds the cost of a like instrument here, and even individuals can import pianos to advantage in spite of the tariff. But a fact that works pretty effectively to protect the home manufacturer is that either the American climate or the usual steam heat tends to destroy the imported piano, so that even the temptation of saving from $300 to $500 on the first cost does not induce many persons to take the risk of an instrument that cannot stand the climate.—Philadelphia Ledger. England's Tobacco Law. An antiquarian says that tobacco cannot be used in England save by a violation of law. In 1660 a law was made prohibiting the growth or importation of tobacco beyond a few hundred pounds of leaves every year, "to be used in medicine." It is said that this statute has never been repealed. FIRES IN JAPAN. But For Open Spaces the Japanese Citics Would Burn Up. One of the quaintest sights in Japan is a fire. Hundreds of houses are often burned in the space of a few hours, and little or nothing can be done to stop the progress of the flames, especially on a windy day. If you except the roof, which is made of tiles, Japanese houses are built entirely of straw wood, bamboo and paper. In the poorer districts houses are packed close together, and therefore if one happens to catch fire sometimes the whole street is burned down with incredible rapidity, and the fire only stops at some open space where it cannot possibly spread further. It is not possible. Miss Kitty—Mamma, will we folks in heaven same as we do her Mamma—I think there is no dot that, my dear. "Will I know Jane Gopplins?" "Who is Jane Gopplins?" "She's the big freckled girl that over the grocery store down the street." "If you are both good enough to heaven, my dear, you will cert know her." (After some moments of prologication) "I won't have to speak her, will I manima?"—Chicago une. HE WISHED HIMSELF A DOOR "I wish I was a dog," he said. With widest disgust. And savagely his clinching fists Into his pockets thrust. His wife bestowed her tenderest cried Upon her puppy, Tim. But not a kindly word or look Would she accord to him. The gravest error she commits Of all her married life Who casts aside as "no account" The duties of a wife I've seen it frequently myself And never will forget She frowned and scowled upon "hub." But smiled upon her pet. I do not wonder that a man In such domestic bog Will sink into the deepest woe And wish himself a dog If I had such a wife as that On sweet revenge I'd feast. I'd make her squarely toe the marrow And kill the tarnish beast. -Nebraska Journey THE SACRED CODIFISH. The Proposal to Take Out of the house In Boston Creates a Sensate The Worcester Gazette says: Charles Francis Adams recounts Story of the Cod" in the Springfield publican. In 1782 John Adams sent from Great Britain an eminent matric victory after a wearisome ode—the right of fishery—and on May 17, 1784, John Rowe, a Boston merchant asked and received permission tothe historic codfish on the wall o chamber of representatives in therouse. Thirty years later another with Great Britain occurred. Quincy Adams was called on this as a diplomat, and he, too, saved codfish once more from British encroachment. The statehouse cod, which sacrilegious are now threatening toin the garret, is emblematic of mercy, war and diplomacy and te Massachusetts victories in all fields.

The viticultural commissioners have decided to make an exhibit of California wines and brandies at the exposition which is to be held at Bordeaux from the 1st of May next until the 1st of November. Secretary Scott received a cable dispatch last week from Bordeaux to the effect that the Societe Philomathique has accepted the terms offered by the viticultural commission, and that California wines and brandies will be accorded a full and complete representation at the forthcoming exhibition. This is the first opportunity which has ever been accorded local wine growers and distillers to display their products in Bordeaux. During the last two years substantial recognition has been accorded California wines and brandies in various European centers. Gold medals have been awarded at the expositions in Genoa in 1892, in Dublin in 1892, in Antwerp in 1893 and in Lyons in 1894, but the California wine and brandy makers have never before had an opportunity of showing their best products to the winemakers of the world in the center of the greatest claret market in the world—Bordeaux. But For Open Spaces the Japanese Citics Would Burn Up. One of the quaintest sights in Japan is a fire. Hundreds of houses are often burned in the space of a few hours, and little or nothing can be done to stop the progress of the flames, especially on a windy day. If you except the roof, which is made of tiles, Japanese houses are built entirely of straw wood, bamboo and paper. In the poorer districts houses are packed close together, and therefore if one happens to catch fire sometimes the whole street is burned down with incredible rapidity, and the fire only stops at some open space where it cannot possibly spread further. It is not unusual in Tokyo or some of the larger towns to hear of a thousand or even more houses having been destroyed in an afternoon or during the night. No one is more afraid of fires than the Japanese, and high ladders are posted at short intervals all over the towns and in all the larger villages, on the top of which ladders a watchman sits all night and in case of fire rings a large bell hanging from the top. If rung at long intervals, the fire is distant, and one need not worry oneself about turning out of one's fountangs. If rung a little quicker, the fire is not far, but there need be no apprehension. But if the bell is vigorously and quickly tollled then you may as well say goodbye to your house, because in perhaps a few minutes it will be reduced to a mass of ashes. The Japanese are wonderful at turning out at all hours of the night, even for going to look at a fire, and men, women and children in the coldest nights in winter think nothing of walking five or six miles to go and look at a big blaze. If the fire happens to be near, the excitement increases in proportion to the probability of one's house being burned down. You see people half scared and screaming, getting water wherever they can in pails, wash basins, tubs or anything they can lay hold of and throwing it all over the woodwork so as to diminish the chances of its catching fire. Then as the fire draws nearer, and the only water available has already been consumed, the process of saving what one can is put into practice. The amido, or wooden shutters, and the sholjis, paper walls, are quickly taken down and brought into a safe place; the mats are lifted out of their places, and with the few articles of furniture are quickly removed. So that when the fire comes it only destroys the wooden frame of the house and the roof. That is all. It is seldom that life is lost in these fires, except sometimes when children or old people are unable to move and once Massachusetts victories in all fields. After the peace of 1783 Adams quartered the codfish in his arms, and it is there now. This have been the origin of the phrase "fish aristocracy," once in common. It was commonly spoken in derby but the pride of the Adamses in the fish would seem entirely worthy. On this subject the New York Smarks: There is a proud and beautiful beauty in Boston.

As a matter of fact, the doe a hollow fraud. Mr. Bulfinch, who had the distinction of having anently parochial street named after was not lucky enough to have his signs carried out, and the state he with its feeling Dutch name, is not that it might have been. But it merits. There is or was in it the sea codfish, a palladium that fell from here plush into the Frog pond in days when Boston was an eminent port. This codfish was almost hung and quite superhuman. It could wilt. It had learned to say cultyur and nature and leftenant, besides all things that are said in Boston. Was a silver bathtub in which it used tipple when the Boston nine game. It used to leap into the air waving Governor Greenhalge appealed with blue knit thinking cap on. It sprinkled with champagne whenever Ancient and Honorable Artillerys company had a feast. All the thinks on legislature revered it. It wag its tail at a good thing and dead whenever a bore was up. They have been "fixing up" their house. Evidently some idiot inflict charge. The sacred codfish is not included among the treasures of the stored statehouse. The Law and People say it drinks too much. The P.A. says it has a Hibernianinance. All the same, it was beaten state. It was the most venerable station there, except Harvard college George Marden of Lowell gone. It has been torn down. It is so falls the codfish aristocracy. So DOES THIS SETTLE IT? HAS THE SOURCE OF THE MISSISIPPI BEEN POSITIVELY FIXED? The Story of the Search For It During Two Centuries—Lake Itasca and the Little Stream That Nicollet Christened the "Cradled Achilles." "I have stepped across the Mississippi river," said Dr. Coues. "It was easy, for the stream was only about 8 inches wide and 2 inches deep. I have seen the Father of Waters where he rises literally out of the ground and starts as an infant rivalet, destined to cut the United States in twain with the mighty volume of his adult flood. "The story of the search for the source of the Mississippi reads like a romance. After the discovery of the upper river in 1673 by Joliet and Marquette, and the discovery of the falls of St. Anthony in 1680, by Hennepin, little more was known of the Father of Waters for nearly a century. In 1766 Captain Jonathan Carver ascended the stream as far as the mouth of Rum river. In 1798 the famous English astronomer and surveyor, David Thompson, in the service of the Northwest company, reached Turtle lake. This lake, which sends a tributary to the Mississippi, was for some time supposed to be the source. "The first white man known to have visited the neighborhood of the actual source of the Mississippi was William Morrison, a fur trader, who was certainly at Lake Itasca in 1803 or 1804. He never published anything on the subject, and it is only very recently that his priority of discovery has been known. The next explorer of the sources of the river was Lieutenant Zebulon Montgomery Pike. He was the first American citizen to carry the flag of the United States into northern Minnesota. He was sent by the government to treat with the Indians and stop the sale of liquor in that region. Incidentally he purchased for $250 and some whisky a tract of land nine miles square, which included the present site of Minneapolis. Congress subsequently voted an additional payment to the Indians for this tract of $2,000. "Lieutenant Pike proceeded by boat to the vicinity of the present Little Falls in Morrison county, Minn. He got no farther with boats, and so continued his journey through the winter of 1805-6 on snowshoes and with sledges northward. He finally reached Leech lake. This lake he mistook for the source of the Mississippi, and his report on this subject was held to be correct for some years afterward. In 1820 the Hon.

The Worcester Gazette says: Charles Francis Adams recounts "The day of the Cod" in the Springfield Redean. In 1782 John Adams secured a Great Britain an eminent diplo- victory after a wearisome contest the right of fishery—and on March 1784, John Rowe, a Boston member, and received permission to hang historic codfish on the wall of the bar of representatives in the state. Thirty years later another war Great Britain occurred. John Adams was called on this time diplomat, and he, too, saved the fish once more from British encroach- ents. The statehouse cod, which the allegations are now threatening to store the garret, is emblematic of com- war and diplomacy and tells of Massachusetts victories in all three. After the peace of 1783 John Adams quartered the codfish in his coat arms, and it is there now. This must be the origin of the phrase "cod-historicracy," once in common use. As commonly spoken in derision, the pride of the Adamses in the cod would seem entirely worthy. In this subject the New York Sun re- cents is a proud and beautiful build- nion Boston.

He got no farther with boats, and so continued his journey through the winter of 1805-6 on snowshoes and with sledges northward. He finally reached Leech lake. This lake he mistook for the source of the Mississippi, and his report on this subject was held to be correct for some years afterward. In 1820 the Hon. Lewis Cass, accompanied by Henry R. Schoolcraft, the historian, went on an exploring expedition up the Mississippi as far as Cass lake, so named at the time by Schoolcraft. In 1823 an Italian traveler, J. C. Beltrami, went over David Thompson's route to Turtle lake and reported that lake to be the true source. Evidently, however, he heard from the Indians about Lake Itasca, for he mapped it with approximate accuracy, though he was never there and did not imagine that the Father of Waters sprang thence. "Lake Itasca was rediscovered in 1882, when Schoolcraft, accompanied by Lieutenant Allen, United States army; the Rev. Mr. Boutwell and others, was guided to the lake by a Chippewa Indian, known as Yellow Head. On this occasion Lake Itasca received its present name, which was made up of parts of the words Veritas Caput, signifying the 'true head' of the river. The Latin was bad, for it ought to have been Verum Caput. The lake had previously been known by the French name of Lac a la Biches, meaning Elk Lake. This was a translation of the Chippewa Omoshkos Sogiagon. "Schoolcraft's party made an examination of Lake Itasca, being satisfied that they had found the true source of the Mississippi. Not again until 1836 did any scientific man visit the spot. This was a Frenchman, J. N. Nicollet, who tried to ascertain the source of the feeders of Lake Itasca. Exploring southward, he reached the springs from which the infant river takes its rise. It should be understood that the Mississippi runs from its source directly northward for a distance of 50 miles before turning about in a sort of fishhook bend and starting southward. To the baby stream, before it enters Lake Itasca, Nicollet gave the poetic name of 'Cradled Achilles.' He established its course in connection with three small lakes, since named Upper, Middle and Lower Nicollet lakes—that is to say, he found that the little river ran through two of these small lakes and connected with the third. This explorer mapped the whole of the Itascan basin and determined the latitude, longitude and altitude with such accuracy that subsequent surveys have only confirmed and amplified his observations. "The whole subject of which I have been speaking was befogged and thrown into dispute recently by a certain Captain Glazier, who, apparently for no other purpose than to advertise himself, published his alleged discovery of a new and true source of the Mississippi. By reducing the size of Lake Itasca, ignoring Nicollet's Cradled Achilles, magnifying a small side lake which he called Lake Glazier, and by stretching out one of the feeders of the latter, he produced a distorted map which actually imposed on the Royal Geographical society of Great Britain. Many of the errors thus After the peace of 1783 John Adams quartered the codfish in his coast towns, and it is there now. This must have been the origin of the phrase "cod-histocracy," once in common use. It was commonly spoken in derision, the pride of the Adamses in the cod would seem entirely worthy. In this subject the New York Sun reports: there is a proud and beautiful building in Boston. Bulfinch did it. It is a tenon surmounted by a gilded gas pipe, and to those who love it it is the most architectural achievement of world. Even the limited or prejudiced persons who deny its charm can forget the joy of its associations. Go to Boston, to view that dome on an eager eye and to perspire with palulchritude of it and the deeper right that one doesn't have to live in Boston is not the least of pleasures in world that persons of fair digestion used with a certain amount of attachments. As a matter of fact, the dome is low fraud. Mr. Bulfinch, who has the distinction of having an emily parochial street named after him, not lucky enough to have his deeds carried out, and the statehouse, its feeling Dutch name, is not all it might have been. But it has its roots. There is or was in it the sacred ash, a palladium that fell from heavier ash into the Frog pond in the when Boston was an eminent seafarer. This codfish was almost human quite superhuman. It could wink and learned to say cultyur and literate and leftenant, besides the other words that are said in Boston. There is silver bathtub in which it used to be when the Boston nine got a job. It used to leap into the air when Governor Greenhalge appeared blue knit thinking cap on. It was skled with champagne whenever the tent and Honorable Artillery combed a feast. All the thinkers in legislature revered it. It would sit tall at a good thing and drop whenever a bore was up. They have been "fixing up" the state. Evidently some idiot is in office. The sacred codfish is not to be added among the treasures of the real statehouse. The Law and Order he says it drinks too much. The A. says it has a Hibernian counterpart. All the same, it was the best in state. It was the most venerable institution there, except Harvard college George Marden of Lowell. It is what has been torn down. It is nil. It is the codfish aristocracy. So fades away unmistakably.
