Meant Him.

When a railroad passenger hears the
whistle sounding an alarm it is his first
impulse to look out of the window, but
this impulse is always restrained by
second thought, except in the case OF
green travellers. A few days ago an old
man and his wife were passengers on a
Lake Shore train, and as the section
men were making repairs on the line in
various places the whistle was sounded
pretty often. The old couple were fully
alive to every toot," and each time the
old man would stick his head out OF
the window.
"Does it mean anything, SamuelP
asked the wife every time his head came
back, but he could give her mo salts
factory explanations. A travel er be
hind them finally warned the old man
that he ran risk by sticking his head
out, but at the very next toot he was at
it again. He wore a plug hat which
looked fully twenty years old, and its
loss would be nothing great. Prepara-
tions were quietly made behind him,
and everything was all ready when next
the whistle sounded.
II wonder what's on the track nowP"
queried the wife, as he moved around
uneasily.
II dunno" he replied, II believe
we've run over as many as dozen men
since we left Toledo"
"Do look out and see what it means,"
she continued.
Out went his head, his face toward
the engine, and!a smart rap with cane
from the next window knocked his hat
off and sent it flying into swamp. He
pulled back with such rush that he
almost went over his wife into the
aisle.
"Land starsi but did IL mean any
thingP" she cried, as she grasped him
~ should think it didwhe yelled.
1t meant that l was burned old fool,
and have got to 60 bare'headed al the
rest of this Summerl"
The hard-hearted conducted refused
to stop the train and recover the hat,
and at the fnis of hot discussion the
bare-h eaded victim brought his fist
down with shivering force and ex.
claimed:
WAL, now, want you to under
stand that If there is any law in this land
this ere railroad has got to move its
fence-corners back. 'Sposen them rails

Jay GOuId's New Home.

Speaking OF splendid dwellings, says
the New York correspondent of the
ochester Democrat, / am reminded
that Jay Gould has recently purchased
the estate of the late George Merritt, of
Tarrytown. 1t consists Of two hundred
acres of land and a magnificent white
marble palace, which cost in all $500, 900.
Gould obtained this grand property for
S225,0O0, q fact which illustrates the
decline in property in that locality.
Merritt called the place Lyndhurst, but
probably Gould will want new name
and hence / respectfully suggest Stock
Jobbing Hall as an appropriate title.
Gould has ordered a large library of
modern literature, which certainly indi-
Gates good taste. How much they will
be read is another question. The books
will, however, be valuable as furniture,
and many o library is fitted up for the
same reason. The new proprietor will
occupy this place as his summer resi-
dence, and will no doubt, expend
large sum in general improvements. 1t
is the finest establishment ever occu-
pied by any Wall street man. The next
in point OF grandeur was lie Grand
Lookwood's magnificent country seat at
Norwalk. He was native of that place,
whence he came to this city and became
Wall street clerk. When he reached
what proved to be his highest point Of
success, he determined to show the
people of his native town the extent OF
his wealth, and therefore built the finest
dwelling in Connecticut. He laid
out fine park and invested a quarter
million in the establishment. Just as
it reached completion, the panic of 1873
set in, and Lockwood was soon num-
bered among the principal victims. He
failed in q hopeless manner, and was q
defaulter to the Lake Shore road to the
extent OF half million. The company
levied on the Norwalk property, which
contained one of the finest private gal
leries in the country. The pictures were
sent to auction with the exception Of one
masterpiece, which was sold at private
sale-Thomas Bierstadts Yosemite
Valley" which cost $4,000, and was
really too valuable to be placed under
the hammer. Lockwood died broken
hearted man, affording a startling lesson
OF disappointment

Birds Nests:

Doctor d. g. +. Macdonald writes:
The time of year has arrived when
woods, coppices and hedgerows. are
searched for birds nests by lynx-eyed
urchins and professionals. Every likely
tree, shrub, bush aud tuft or grass is
closely examined, aud when nest is
discovered it is at once pillaged of eggs
or nestlings with a shou. or triumph!
Surely it is pity that thousands of eggs
should be taken away TO be "bio own,"
and put on string like beads, rendering
them practically valueless. Surely it is
wicked to capture fedglings that soon
die for want of proper food. Surely it
is cruel to leave their disconsolate
parents to mourn over the cold, deserted
nest, since birds sorrow as keenly, as
deeply and sincerely as any man or
woman who ever lost children. Poor
little birds! The very sylvan beauty of
their homes fades before the dimming
away of their grief. No doubt evil is
wrought by want of thought as well as
want of heart. Allow me, then, to ask
those who desire to protect the eggs and
callow broods Of our pretty little feath-
cred friends to be on the alert and do
all they can to save them. Blackbirds,
thrusles, fnches, larks, linnets and
robins will repay us with notes OF
thankfulness. They will charm our
ears with grateful and pious songs. Let
us watchfully protect them from the
ruthless hands OF the spoiler.

Gathering Salt.

Cheshire has long been noted for its
salt springs, but these are of mild quail.
ity compared to the brine springs that
rise in the rock-salt localities. This
natural brine supplies the best salt. 1t
powerful engine, and conveyed into a
huge cistelp. md from thence into the
pans prepared for it. Under these pans,
when full, fires are kept burning day
enough to take a hurried look at the
vast pan in front Of us filled with boil
ing brine, on the top Of which the salt
lay in thick scum, remaining for an
instant on the surface, and then sinking
slowly to the bottom. Standing on a
raised ledge beside the pan was a
shaggy, foreign-looking mar, stripped
to the waist, and perspiring at every
pore, who held long handled rake,
with which he drew to the edge of the
pan the salt which lay in masses over
the bottom. Having raked together a
considerable quantity of salt, he took
another tool not unlike n giant spade,
perforated with holes, with which he
lifted the salt from the pan. The quail
ity of the sal varies according to the
time at which IL is drawn" or lifted
from the pan. The finest, or what is
called "butter salt" is drawn when
the brine is at boiling point, the pans
being drawn two or three times a day.
The courser salt is left much onger at
a lower temperature, being drawn, in
some cases, two or three times week,
and in the case of fish " or preserving
salt only once or twice in fortnight.
A morsel of soap or glue is added to
the heated brine to assist in the purify
ing of the salt. The courser varieties
are never packed in tubs, but loaded
straight from the shed on to the barge
or fiji led into specially prepared sacks.
The finer salt is carried into the drying.
room, which is kept constantly at
temperature trying to ordinary human
nature, and here il is formed into neat
blocks and packed for expectation.
This being clean work, much of the
packing of fine salt is done by neat, tidy
women and girls. The coarser salt is
carried loose 20 the barges on the river.
