MOUNT SHASTA. w•r••••••••..... laclian Legend of the Sierra Nevadas. In the range of the Sierra, Nevada, Mountairie in California, there riBee to the height of 14,440 feet Mount 'Shasta. It le the eeat of a volcano and its euunnit and :sides are covered with snow and ice. To the Indians of California Mount Shaste Wee the home of the all -reigning Spirit, and they tell the following legend of how Mount Shasta mine to be: In the long ago the Great Spirit that created all tillage threw a rock down through the "floor of heaven. Lower and lower it came, till it filially reach- ed a spot in the air where it stopped and remained Integing Atilt in the air. On top of this rock Manitou now cast down, many more rocks, an dearth aud now and lee till the whple pile reach- ed nearly up to the skies. Thus it was that Mount Ithesta was first made, ' Down from the heaven then eame the Great Spirit himself and from that epot built the reet of the earth; ita vane" its mountains, its etreame and seas. Then Ile caused forests to grow, flowers and grasses to spring into being, and made beasts to roam over the plains and fishes to Mini through the waters. Beautiful birds, too, He created by blowing Hie own breath upon the green leaves, and then tossing them up into the air. Now the earth was beautiful be- yond description, and the Great Spirit, motioned and delighted with His work, decided to come down from heaven and live upon this new earth., He made his wigwam by hollowing out the top of Mount Shasta, and there from its summit was to be seen the smoke tb.at lamed from Hie fireside, With the coming of the white man Mariaon moved his abode and no long- er lives on Mount Shasta.

France it has been the custom, at the beginning of euustner, to tar the roads in and, about the tewns, in order to abate the dust nuisance. It has been found,.however, that tar, although excellent in the case of macadamized • roads, is of' little or no value where tramways exist and paved street cross. 'lugs iutersect the roads in various direc- tions. The tarring cannot be carried out on stones. Basing their adieu on the well-known hygrometrical properties of common salt, the authoritiee have made a test of its value in laying the duet. Twenty yards of roadway have beets sprinkled liberally with ealt and then watered freely. It the results are satisfactory, salt will he used throughout the towu of Havre, it being impossible to tar the majority of the streets, since they are paved with rouelt *thine blocks.—Har- per's Weekly.
