Orange Tribune j: There has
been a general rush for the
swamps and timber camps since
the big rains, and the booms will
receive, doubtless, in a short time
as many logs as they are
capacitated to hold. From all
accounts the supply will last our
present mills nearly a year.
Orange needs more mills.
Terrebonne Times Sugar max.
ing from sorgum, amber sugar cane
and Indian corn are regarded by
southern sugar planters as the
dream of Missionaries. However
this may prove, it is evident that
that there is an increasing interest
on the subject of sugar making
from sorghum in the West. More
sorghum has been grown this year
than ever before, and sugar
refneries and syrup mills are going
up in many places.

across the river, while others blew
several hunderd yards in every
direction. Fortunately no one
was seriously hurt. One man got
struck about the face and slightly
hurt.

The Reported Division of the
Comet.

1t seems to BIZ generally supposed
that the great comet has experienced
a serious disaster. About week ago
the Cincinnati astronomers reported
that they saw the nucleus divide into
two parts, while under view in the
large telescope. On account of clouds
the comet could not be viewed ct the
Dudley Observatory until the second
! night sf!er this announcement. The
director of that institution informs us
that he has always found the nucleus
or central cone of the comet single,
| and generally sharp in outline. Tiers
is from time to time evidence of great
disturbance in the head of the comet;
but nothing like separation of the
nucleus into two distinct comets has
taken place.
Thenucleus seems to be continually
EpoutiDg up great jets OF cometsry
matter by force OF expulsion sufii.
Gent to carry the particles tens of
thousands of miles from the starting
point. Then these particles seem to
be caught uP by counter force of
repulsion. eminssing from the sun,
which sweeps them back millions of
miles from the head OF the comet and
tnus forms the tail. These jets as
hey issue from the nucleus assume
every conceivable form. Sometimes
they appear like the outstretched
wings OF great bird; at others, like
fountain with numerous curving
sprays. Sometimes the tremendous
forces which produce the appearances
described appear to be comparatively
quiescent, and then the cemetary
matters hOvers over the nucleus IN 8

on the side nearest the sun. The d.

pint a-port, Hattie. pint a-port,
my girl. Now you've got her.
Steady So
STEADY it is, father"
The first words were spoken in a
voice, rendered husky by wind and
weather, and came from the lungs
of the bronZed old captain of the
ferryboat Mystic, plying being the
HaVerstraw brick yards and the
railroad station of Cruger's, six miles
away, on the opposite shore of the
Hudson River. They had no refer
ence to the wine of Oporto, but were
uttered in the form of instructions
to his daughter in the pilot house,
who was steering the boat while her
father collected the fares of the five
passengers who were crossing from
HaYerStraW. The reply came, with
seaWoman-like brevity, from a
pretty girl about 20 years Of age,
who. with bare arms and dressed in
a neatly fitting gown, was at the
wheel.
"Does your daughter always steer
the boat?" the reporter asked, when
the captain came for his fare.
well, no." was the reply, cher
brother sometimes steers, but
mostly steer myself. When the boy
is away Hattie comes along, for
someone else must stand by the
wheel while I'm takin' up the
fares. But Hattie's a good girl, and
knows the run of the river. She's a
good hand at the wheel, too, and 1
feel as safe with her steering as 1
would if her brother were there
aye, as safe almost as if l were in the
pilot house myself. Let her off a
little, Hattie, my girl. Starboard
now"
"Starboard it is, father"
"Why don't you let her collect
the fares, and steer the boat your
self?"
"Well, you see," the captain an
sWered, cit requires a sight of ex-
perience to collect fares, and doubt
Hattie, though she's a clever girl,
be able to do it,
"a man must be thorough sea-
man to collect them properly, l sup
pOse," hazarded the reporter.
by thunder, he must know what |
he's about" the MyStic'S master re-
piled, turning quickly toward his
questiGner, "or he's apt to miss one |
or two. You haven't paid yours
yet"
The reporter hastily produced the
money, and handed it to the captain,
with all apology,
"Oh, it's all right" the captain
said, "only it shows you how careful
3ven al experienced man must be.
Now, Hattie, be careful. Steady,
So"
STEADY it is, father"
And the Mystic glided into the
York San.

THE SCARCITY OF WATER AT
| the pre- ent time for irrigsting pur
poses rer ders il necessary that the great
est economy be exercised IN the use of
water from the mains during the months
of August and September. All persons
using water from the pipes FOR spriakling
lawns and flower beds should confne its
use TO what is necessary to keep vegeta-
ton alive, snd thus avoid the necessity
OF issuing time cards.
It is hoped that all persons interested
will see the necessity of complying with
this request, and SO avoid more stringent
regulations.
