How the Bracelet Came Home.

Several weeks ago a lady riding in
one of the cars of the Pennsylvania
railroad between this city and Harris.
burg had the misfortune to lose a very
valuable bracelet. While putting up
the window of the a it came %unclasped
and fell out. The loss was reported to
the conductor, who took the name and
address of the lady, and in four days
afterward she had the satisfaction of
having the bracelet returned to her.
How was it done? By a very simple
process. On arriving in this city the
conductor ~telegraphed the loss to the
various station masters near where it
occurred; the station master of each
section placed the facts in possession of
the track-walkers, and the track
walkers were given orders to keep their
eyes open on their routes for the brace
let. These men go I'VE the tracks
every day, their business being to see
that no Instructions are on the road.
In this way one of these walkers dis
covered the piece of jewelry. 1t was
returned to the station master with the
report of the track-walker; then it went
to the conductor with a report, and in
due time found its way to headquarters,
where the various reports were placed
on file and finally returned to the
owner, whose receipt therefor closed up
the account.-PHsburgh Dispatch.

Ostrich Eggs as Foed.

Twenty hungry men were recently
set down to a meal composed of a sin.
gle egg. 1t was an ostrich egg. For a
whole hour it was boiled, and though
there were some misgivings as to its
being cooked, the shell was broken, for
curiosity could no longer be restrained.
and q three-pound hard-boiled egg laid
upon the plate. But aside from its
size there was nothing peculiar about
it. 1t had the white and blush tinge
of duck-eggs, and the yolk was of the
the usual color. 1t tasted as it looked
like a duck egg-ard mad no flavor
peculiar to itself. But it was immense!
As it takes twenty-eight hen eggs to
equal the ostrich egg which was cooked.
it is evident that the host knew what be
was about in cooking only one. There
was enough and to spare.-Sln Fran

Old.Time Flowers.

On many sides I see evidences that
the old-fashioned flowers are coming
into fresh favor. A bright lady writer
gives it as her experience and observa.
ton that a decided restoration of the
flowers OF Jul great-grandmothers'
gardens, such as the ~peonies, peoples,
hollyhocks, sweet williams, Glove pinks,
yellow lilies, columbines, bluebells,
fieur de lis, monks hood, phloxes,,
lychnis, sweet sultan and the like.
They are not only for the most part
beautiful in color and form, but a great
advantage of their cultivation is that
when once planted they will delight
the senses for years, if a little attention
is only given to them in the spring by
digging about the roots and applying a
plentiful supply of rich compost. and
dividing the roots in the autumn if too
crowded. They bloom at a season
when flowers are mos welcome.
Who that has been familiar with a
garden of a generation ago will not
recognize this picture? ITO make an
old-fashioned garden, there should be
beds of Easter lilies, mingled with
clumps of spider lilies, and borders OF
sweet williams, and columbines Of

alyssum, edged with bluebells of baby's
breath. Long beds are made of tulips
of all colors, single and double, and
clumps of peonies, phloxes, Glove pinks,
peoples and garden pinks, with a back
ground of hollyhocks and monks hood.
The martagon lilies, Easter lilies, vel
low lilies, and the iris, with its pure
crimson bells, succeeded the tulips, and
then the June roses, which in these
days of rose gardens would not be
thought very beautiful, but It hat time
were a glory. Fifty kinds of garden
roses were planted there, besides climb
ers and bush roses, and various kinds
of monthly tea and a banksia, whose
clusters of buff flowers were exquisitely
beautiful. OF course these delicate
roses were housed in the cellar during
the winter, but they added great beauty
to the old garden in the summer. Cam
panulas, foxgloves, %pyrethrums and
larkspurs also grew in abundance, and
cut flowers always filled dishes in the
sitting-room and parlor. The blood
red, dark crimson and dwarf golden
yellow sorts are very effective in mixed
borders. Sweet williams have been
greatly improved, and produce flowers
of large size and great richness of col
oring."- Lancaster hnteUigencer.

Solid Foundations.

No foundation upon which a heavy
superstructure is to be erectedis now re-
garded as properly laid in Chicago un-
less the base is first formed by a mass
of concrete, made of broken stone and
cement, of sufficient thickness and
breadth to form asolid footing. 1t has
been discovered in the erection of large
buildings upon the soft or made soil
upon which Chicago is built. that the
constituent parts of the underlying
earth are not evenly dense, but thai
pockets of quicksand OF soft earth exist
in many places. The immense weight
of the large structures upon such soil
causes them to settle unevenly unless
some provision is made for overcoming
the difficulty, and when borings are
made to ascertain the condition of the
underlying strata the architect and
builder a readily determine where to
strengthen the base upon which the
foundation is to be erected.
The settling of the Custom-house and
several other very heavy buildings has
been a warning to Chicago architects
within a few years that a necessity ex-
listed for strengthening the bases of the
large buildings if order that they may
settle evenly when their heavy walls
are erected, and experience has taught
them that if they would have the mann
moth structures stand without cracked
walls q base must be created that will
be almost, if not quite, equal to q
foundation upon solid rock.
AS Chicago grows more metropolitan
and the demands for immense piles Of
masonry becomes more apparent, it is
a source of satisfaction to the public to
know that the architects are becoming
masters of the situation, not only in de,
signs of architecture, but that the ques-
ton of substantially has received that
great consideration which is due to the
future. The day has passed with the
| Chicago architect when his ambition il
satisfied with having planned a struc
ture that will meet the demands of the
present day and stand as a monument
of beauty when the finishing touches
shall have been put upon it. Chicago
has reached that era in which its future
demands and greatness can be dimly,
at least. discussed. and the architect. q
all others, has it within the range O.
his ability to build for that future, to
display his foresight, to improve upor
the staid architecture of the past by
modern combination that will result il
the production of building monuments
of which they and the future citizens o
Chicago will be justly proud. The sub
stantial foundation is the stepping
stone to the grand piles of masonry
that are being and to be erected in the
city, and are only evidences of the solid
ity of the structures that will grace tn,
thoroughfares of Chicago, and stand a.
a rock for all time.-Chicago Times.

.sDo you think you could hold on to

..Why, siri it wouldn't be fit"
"Shut upi Put your arms around my

The office and bar oom of the hotel,
q pretentious structure of Eastlake
architecture, held its usual quota of re-
spectacle loafers, when John Proctor
entered, with the uncouth figure on his
back. A gurgle of laughter ran through
the crowd. The majority fancied the
young lumberman's brain had been
turned by his recent losses, and thathis
dementia had taken the form of a vio-
lent development of the weakness with
which he had hitherto been accredited.
Their laughter suddenly ceased when
the young man went straight to the
clerk, saying, in clear, ringing tones:
"Give me the best room you have.
This man, who saved my life last night,
is badly hurt. Some of YOU" turning
to the idlers, ego at once for the sur
geon of the Atchison road"
A dozen men sprang forward to re-
lievc him of his burden, to help him
carry the poor fellow to a comfortable
room, where he was gently laid upon
the bed. The sufferer received those
attentions in silence. His dim eyes
stared incredulously about the room,
and into the kindly faces bending ove1
him. That anything like this should
happen to him! Howlong would it last:
Would they let him have one good
nights rest before turning him Out
AGAIN? When once more on the DESC
late plain, wandering through sage
brush, mesquite and s~oap-weed, il
would seem like some strange dream.
