There was . terrific explosion OF natural gas

The Exx. That Never Hatch,

There's a young man on the corner,
Filled with lie and strength and hope,
Looking far beyond the present,
With The whole world In his scope.
He Is grasping at tomorrow,
hat phantom none can eaten;
To-day 10 lost. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's an old man over yonder,
With worn and weary face,
With searching anxious features,
And weak, uncertain pace.
he Is living In the future,
With no desire to catch
The golden Now. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's a world Of men and women,
w ih Their LIES work yet und0ne,
Who are sitting, standing. moving
Beneath tlfe same great sun;
Ever eager for the future.
But not content to snatch
The Present. They are waiting
For the eggs that will never hatch.

OUR OFFICERS,

The action of the council in de-
laying action upon the petition of
the citizens asking for the expulsion
of Mayor Donnelly was eminentIy
wise and proper. The defendant
wac absent from the city, and delay
until the next regular meeting will
give ample time to ensure calm
judgment and the production of all
needed evidence.
But in the motion made by one
alderman for the removal of Mr..
Montmollin we see neither rhyme
nor reason. Mr.. Montmollin is act
ing marshal, is oyerseer of the pub
lie works and curator of the city's
fire engine. There is no buster man
in Palatka, and for all this he re-
ceives sixty dollars per month. The
pay is little enough for the work
done, and if he is to be removed
there must be good cause shown.
The public believes Mr.. Montmollin
to be both faithful and capable; un-
til evidence of the contrary is pro-
duced there will be no cause to re-
verse the decision reached by our
city fathers when the motion to re-
move was thrown out of considera.
tion without being seconded.

Cat and SnarroEv

Revue Scientifque,
One day my house cat rushed into my
room, having in his mouth a sparrow
caught in the neighboring garden. Scar
cely had puss entered the room when she
let the bird free, evidently with the pur-
pose of playing with it, as is the Gus
tom of cats with mice before devouring
them The sparrow having one Of its
wings injured could not escape by flying
but boldly began to attack its huge enc
my by fierce blows on the nose with its
beak. The cat seemed astonished at the
attack, and beat a retreat. From that
moment the two seemed to forget their
natural instincts, and came to a mutual
understanding. The truce continued,
and gradually grew to a fraternal friend
ship, they ate, played and slept together.
Often they ran about the house, the
sparrow perched on the cats back, and
sometimes carried gently in the cats
mouth, from which it was released on
the first wish to be free.
When feeding together puss never
| touched a morsel till her friend had first
partaken. Many of my friends came tc
see the strange sight, and were much
amused at the proceedings of the friend
ly pair. One morning the sparrow see
ing the window open, and its wings being
now in good order, took its fight, and
saw it no more. Whether it ever re
membered its captivity with regret
cannot know, but am bound to ado
that puss did not die of grief on account
of losing its companion.

In the absence of political issues
in our state pending the session Of
a non-partisan convention, the "frost
line" is again asserting itself as a
mark of division, substantial as.once
was that of Mason and Dixon. The
Key West Democrat asserts that in
Monroe county alone can pine-apples
be proftably grown because only
there they have no frost. Thercup-
on the Agriculturist calls up a letter
from Capt. Baker, of Key Largo, in
which he says that his plants have
been ruined by frost. And the
Democrat rejoins that the oldest in
habitant and others have no recol-
lection of damage done by cold, but
ignores Capt. Baker. In the midst
of the bitter war now being waged,
we rise to ask if the entire absence
of frost is an unmixed good? And
we defy Monroe county to show
fairer apples or plants than we have
seen in Brevard.

at is a shame that these state
ments are true, and yet who will de-
ny their truth ? Is it not time
for a general elevation of the stand
ard of honesty in railway circles :?
it not time for every manager to de
termine to ''turn the liars out" and
to demand, under penalty Of sum
mary discharge, the most absolute
and literal observance of agreements
by ali his subordinates ? Until "
ing is stopped and honesty becomes
the inhexible rule, all effort to main
tain rates by the means Of agree
ments, however skilfully prepared,
will be in vain. On the other hand.
as soon as railway men begin and
continue to "speak the truth every
man with another" and to act the
truth without equivocation, it will
be easy to form and to keep agree
ments that will be vastly beneficial
to all concerned
"Said a distinguished gentleman
the other day: The coming railway
man viii be the honest man" This,
we believe, will, in the future, be-
come the key note of railway official
reputation. No matter how able or
how experienced, how shrewd in
making contracts, how skillful in
financial management, how thor
oughly educated in all the details of
railway operation, the coming rail
way man" will be known pre-emi-
nently as an honest man. From his
high standard of integrity the ex-
ample will spread through every
grade of the service down to the
lowest, and ere long the railway pro.
fession will be eminent, not only fol
the ability which it demands and
displays, but as well for the high
sense of honor and the unfinching
integrity which will be recognized
as characteristic of all those in its
official positions. There are such
men, already, among our railway
officers, but their influence has hith
erto been greatly obscured. They
should be the rule in railway ser
vice and not, as now apparently, the
exception. To the end of this refor
nation should the effort of every
railway officer be earnestly devoted.
