OUR COMING RAILROADS.

The policy of the two leading railroad
of'the west is now SO clearly
defined that it requires no aimless guess to
fasten upon their intentions. The Chicago,
Milwaukee. & st. Paul and the Chicago &
Northwestern companies have decided to
With extensions of their great lines,
first, southeastern Dakota, and, finally,
southern Dakota entire. The former is
now building one of its lines within the
territory and the latter is closing up its
Minnesota gap preparatory to crossing the
boundary and reaching out towards the
Missouri river. Just why the Chicago &
Northwestern has concluded not to extend
from WATERFOWL, the present western ter.
minus Of its Winona s st. Peter branch,
and Why it goes backward east and south 4
hundred miles on q line already CONSTRUCTED,
to take . westward start, is one of the prob.
lens which We cannot understand, in the
absence Of reasons. Possibly it desigps
running its Watertown branch northward
down the rich valley of the Red river of
the north, OF the Dakota side

region in all the world. At any rate, it has
gone back to what is known ss the "bis bend"
in its Winona & ST. Peter line and from
there will take a course due westward, with
the ultimate design Of resting for a time it,

An Ear for Bells.

Rochester brags of a young man
named D. P. Hicks, who can distinguish
any locomotive on that division of the
road by the tone of its bell, and says
that railroad men state that this is the
only case of the kind they ever knew.
Utica has companion for Mr.. Hicks.
Daniel Buckley, jr., son of the we'll
known private watchman, has "called''
every engine on this division of the
Central road for the past ten years by its
bell. He frequently stands in the door
from r the ec% dcpo " &c mdnk ddn T1 dPseks
off the numbers of two, and sometimes
of three locomotives that may be passing
at the time. He has never been known
to make an error, and mauy hundreds of
cigars have been won on this faculty by
Mr.. Buckley's friends. Once he hears
the sound of locomotive bell and
knows its number, it seems impossible
for him to forget it. He calls the num-
bers of locomotives that have been in
the shops for months, and says he will be
able to do the same thing ten years from
now. When locomotives have been
rebuilt, and the bells changed, he calls
out, "That is old No. - bell on new

a few of the bells, but none of them
have ever equaled Mr.. Buckley's "call.

Grew the Wood for His Coffin.

A remarkable story is told of the late
Captain Stone, of Moundsville, who was
buried recently. Thirty.five years ago
he came from New Orleans to Mounds
Vile to make his home, and brought
with him two seeds of a mahogony. like
tree that fourished near his former
home. These he planted, remarking to
his family that he would have bis coffin
made from the tree. One of the seeds
died, but the other fourished and grew.
From shoot it became sapling, and
finally, in the course of thirty years,
grew to fine tree. About eight months
ago a severe wind storm passed over
Moundsville, and Captain found his
tree laid PROSTATE. He had it dried,
sawed into lumber and sent to q Pitts.
burgh firm. In short time it was
returned to him in the shape of a
beautiful coffin, and for four months it
was preserved in his residence. About
two weeks ago he contracted a sickness
that eliminated in his death, and his
desire being fulfilled, he was laid away
in the coffin he planted thirty.five years
ago. Wheeling ReQ;ster.

Some Hot Weather Drinks.

Milk emonade.-Loaf sugar, one and

boiling water, with half pint Of lemon
juice, and one and half pints of milk.
Still lemonade.-The juice of three
lemons, the peelof one lemon, quarter of
a pound of lump sugar, and a quart of
cold water. Mix, digest for five hours
and strain. Lemon whey.-One pint of
boiling milk, half pint of lemon juice,
sugar to taste. Mix and strain. In the
tropics iced tea is favorite beverage,
and is found to afford an admirable
combination of tonic and refreshing
qualities. 1t is usually taken without
milk, and many like the Russian addi-
tion of a little lemon juice. Even
those who are accustomed to the moder-
ate use of alcoholic beverages have been
compelled to admit that as "a steady
drink" the iced tea was preferable in
extremely hot weather.

BY JOHN MORAN.

My song holds all my heart. say,
As sunlight holds the heart Of day,
And, albeit. halting weak, distraught,
Utters my deep, speech-fettered thought,
In strains by hazard, grave or gay.
OF worship, sometimes hidden away,
Beneath dejection's sombre gray,
From clouds Of doubt and dreaming wrought,
My song holds all.
md though It should not quite convey
That fealty which my life must pay
(Like some bird in whirlwiyd caught,
And borne beyond the goal it Sought,
And yet, dear love, believe, pray,
My song holds all.
