DEATH VALLEY.
A Place of Silence and Desola¬
tion in California.
The Scorching Heat is Hostile
to All Animal Existence.
California can certainly claim the
grealest natural wonders of the world.
Its Yosemite Valley, its big trees, its
petrified forests and its innumerable
other attractions substantiate this as¬
sertion. One of the latter class, little
known and rarely spoken of, is the
Death Valley of Inyo County, in many
respects the most remarkable of them
all.
Imagine a trackless waste of sand
and rock, shimmering under the rays
of a more than tropical sun, hemmed
in on all sides by titanic rocks and
mountains, whose very impress is that
of eternal desolation, and you have a
fair idea of DeathValley. Geograph¬
ically it is the sink of the Amargosa
Itivor, which is quite a marvel iu it¬
self. It rises in the Western Sierras,
about two miles from the California
line, and flows southward for ninety
miles, when it disappears from sight
in the bed of an ancient lake at the
foot of tho Resting Spring Mountains.
A little further south it reappears and
continues another sixty miles, when it
again returns to its subterranean chan¬
nel. Still again it reappears and flows
nearly ono hundred miles, when it
finally disappears in the sink of the
Death Valley, quito a remarkable
river.
Death Valley is about eight miles
broad by tliirty-five miles long, and
comprises some three hundred square
miles of the most Godforsaken coun¬
try in the world. It looks as if suffer¬
ing from some terrible curse,such as we
read in the Scriptures. It lies far below
tho sea level, in some places 160 feet.
No friendly clouds appear to intercept
tho scorching heat. The thermom¬
eter registers 126 degrees week after
week. No moisture ever falls to cooll
the burning sand. Bright steel maw
be left out after night aud never be tarJ
nislicd.
Nothing will decay: a dead animal
will simply dry up like parchment,ama
remain so seemingly forever. No]
sound is ever heard; the silence on
eternal desolation reigns supreme. It
is a curious geological format ion,only
paralled in one other instance—that of
the Dead Sea. The rocks, lava, ba¬
salt and granite show tho volcanic for¬
mation, which probably will account
for the poisonous quality of the air.
It is said that noxious gases are emit¬
ted from the numerous fissures in tliel
rocks. tliel
Such is a brief de-cripfion of
most, remarkable valley in America.!
Population may press onward, but itl
will never enter here, Reclamation on
vast tracts of land will be accon\-l
plished, but Death Valley will nevcii
see a plow. It is forever destined tol
remain in its stole of primitive barren-1
ness. By the woiking of some mys-l
terious cause tho place is hostile tol
life. It is avoided alike by man amll
beast. Geologists tell us it is a strik-l
ing illustration of the condition of thel
whole world at an early geological! op-|
epoch. Every tourist who lias miniature! the

A Doctor Chats About Poisons.
Dr. William LI. Giooiie, demonstra¬
tor of chemistry of the University of
Pomislyvania and one of the most
scholarly chemists of our time, sends
the following interesting leitcr:
“In reply to your questions, I would
say: First, tho most painless poison
is probably morphia or some similar
narcotic. Second, hydrocyanic or
prussic aoid is the most rapidly fatal
of all poisons in its action. Third,
chemical and physiological tests may
notv be applied with such certainty to
detect poison in food and drink and iu
the human body after death that if
scientific examination and judicial in¬
quest bo possible the administration ofi
almost, any poison is attended with
tho risk of p issiblc delection. j
“Tho poisons which would be most
likely to cscapo detection would bel
thoso most closely resembling tliel
ptomaines of poisonous fungi. I dol
not believe, however, that there exists!
a poison of that one c n exist that!
could not be positively identified after!
death either by tho lessons produced ini
the organs affected, or by the extrac-l
tlon from tho corpse of tho victim of
the poison itsolf, and by tho study of
jts properties.
“I do not think that the pcoplo of
»ny other ago could have (aught us
anything in this matter. The crimes
of tho Borgias were well known at tho
time of thoir peipetration, be tho
Borgias were well known to bo pois¬
oners, bnt their power protected
them. Excopt under conditions that
would now be only of very rare—al¬
most impossible occurrence, such
murders by poison conld not bo perpe¬
trated. A Borgia would most inevita¬
bly be detected, exposed and pun¬
ished at the present day.”—[Pittsburg
Dispatch.
Barbers of Spain.
Tho barber’s business of Spain is
peculiar, in that he is called upon to ply
his shears on donkeys as well as men.
For it is an important item in the care
of Spanish donkeys that they should
be sheared as to tho bad; in order to
make a smoother resting place for
man or pannier. So while the master
held his animal one of the barbers
plied ,. , some enormous clacking .... shears
and , littered ... the ground . With ... mouse
colored hair, leaving the beast’s belly
fur-covered below a fixed line, and
for a small additional price 1 executing ”
a raised pattern of star points around
the neck.
The tonsorial profession is an indis¬
pensable one in a country where shav¬
ing the whole face is so generally
practiced among all the humbler
orders, not to mention toreros and
ecclesiastics. But the discomfort to
which the barber’s customers submit is
astonishing. Instead of being pam¬
pered, soothed, labored at with confi¬
dential respectfulness and lulled into
luxurious harmony with himself, as
happens in America, a man who courts
the razor in Spain has to sit upright in
a stiff chair and meekly hold under his
chin a brass basin full of suds, and
fitting his throat by means of a curved
nick at one side.

Never be ashamed to apologize when

Let that be a law i f your life. The best
thing I ever Ip ard of my grandfather, Tuat
whom I nev< r saw, was this: once
having unrighteously rebuked one of his
children, be himself having lost his pa¬
tience and perhaps having been niisin
foimcdof the child’s doings, found out
his mistake, and in the evening of the
same day gathered all his family together
and said: “Now thing I have one explanation Thomas,
to make, and one rebuked to say. in the
this morning I you pres¬
ence of the lanailv, and now I ask your
forgiveness in their presence.” It must
have taken some courage to do that. It
was right. Never be ashamed to apolo¬
gize.— Talmage,
