away through the masses of snow
which obstructed the road between

tbe rays of the sun reflected from the
vast stretches of snow on svery side,
produced an intense glare of light,
which the uuaeeustomed eye coaid not
support without the protection of dark
glasses. A few of the etudiest among
the laborers were able to work with
impunity, bat the majority suffered so
much that among seventy strongly

that the men were absolutely unable

The Japanese seedless orange is now
being introduced into California, and
is attracting attention because this
dwarf variety is more h rdy than ordi

is remarkably sweet. Should it thrive

is hardy enongh to resist considerable

When, as sometimes happeas, a aol

bear down upon them, requisitioning

eionslly he noted iu saeh a menacing
manner that tbe youngsters dropped
their plates and ran sway crying.

Ths customs ot the “black fellows”
of the Australian bu*h in thoir wild
state are not uninteresting. Their

on occasions of great state, saeh as a

an angered deity, tor they have orade
notions of a Supreme Being, is a weird
and ghostly spectacle. If is always
