In the w GODS.

Filtration in the woods is always q
more serious and impressive thing than
in town. You'll see y couple come
gradually together in camp or at a
hotel by the seaside. As much as tw,
or three DAYS will elapse before any
special affinity develops itself. Then
you'll see little attentions of q delicate
nature; they segregate from parties first,
not too obviously; then they take TO
kind of devoting themselves to each
other; then they get to taking strolls
alone; and the seriousness becomes i'm
posing. The other campers or cutters
are very respectful; compact seems to
exist that flirtations shall be respected.
But the demure airs they both put en- Is
awfully funny. They're partly ashamed
and partly proud; they are little scared
at first, and steal off separately and
meet accidentally out of sight But it
doesn't last long, and they very soon
take to marching off openly together,
while every man and woman in the
camp casts q smile askew at them as
they 60. Then they quarrel and she
won't speak to him; she treats him with
great frigidity, and everybody in camp
sympathizes on one side or another.
Then they make up and everybody in
camp knows it And all you ever hear
of it after the season is: 'Oh, yes; they
were a good deal together ut Monterey"
If it was in town, everybody would
say: ITS shameful the way those two
are going on"
And yet is there half rs much chance
in town as III the woods?-San FTas-
cisco Chronicle.

How the German Emperor Travels.

When the Emperor William travels
every possible measure is taken to pro-
vide for his comfort. The Emperor
special train consists of three saloon car
riages connected with each other by q
covered way. The imperial carriage
proper is richly hung with blue damask,
and at one end there is a small COM
partment in which the Emperor likes to
stand at the window when making short
Journeys. A small saloon next to this
coupe contains sofa and spring seat,
opposite which is the Emperor's camp
bed. Near the saloon Is the study, in
which there stands desk with writing
materials, whose appearance shows good
wear. Upon a bracket above the desk is
a small model of the Column of Victory
in Berlin. Adjacent TO the study is 4
dressing room, fitted up with extreme
care and good taste. A final room con-
tainS two small sofas. leaf table, and
a large mirror. With the Emperor 5
own carriage is carriage for his suite,
and this is of course quite differently fit
ted up. 1t contains five or six apart
ments, each containing table and two
small couches. All the rooms are con-
nected by telegraph with the Emperor 5
apartments. The carriages are provided
with gas throughout,-PaH Mall GA,

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1886.
Melons in Missouri.

Probably there is no place in the
United States to-day where better water
melons are raised. or where they are
grown with less labor and expense, than
in certain counties of southeast Mis-
souri,. One of the stations from which
much of this fruit is shipped is Bertrand,
which is on the Cairo branch. 1t is not
an uncommon sight to see as many as
fifteen or eighteen cars on the siding
waiting TO be filed with melons. The
country around Bertrand is rich sandy
bottom, and melons oftentimes grow to
half the size of men. All the farmers
of that locality raise more or less mel
ons, and all of them invariably do well
with the crop. All the melons shipped
from that station 90 out in car-lots. A
car usually holds 1900 melons, and the
growers sell them to mlddlemen, or
dealers, at from $50 to S125 per car
load. The first fruit that is put in the
market sells at about 1925. or little
less than 10 cents each, while later in
the season it drops until sometimes they
even sell as low as so per car, or 8
cents each. The freight on a carload
of melons between Bertrand and st.
Louis is upward of $50, or in the neigh
borhood of 2 cents a melon.
Dealers from all parts of the country
flock around the locality where melons
are sold at this season. Spectators out
of job try to make a few dollars ou'
of the crop by buying up the fruit in
carload lots and selling it along the
road. From Bertrand the melon crop
is shipped by local freight. The specu-
lator, for instance, starts out of Bert
rand with two cars of melons en- route
TO St Louis via Poplar Bluff. The train
stops at every station from five minutes
to half an hour to load and unload
| freight. This is the melon mans OPP
| portunIty. Dealers at all the small sta
tons understand the kink, and are at
the depots as the ''locaP' comes in.
Perhaps the melon-car is back quarter
of mile from the station. But they
rush back and are not long in finding
the man in charge. If deal is made
at all it is made mighty quick. This is
| about as the conversation between buyer
| and seller would READ were it reported
verbatim:
What you got?"
Peerless and mountain sweet"
"How much?"
Sixteen an quarter"
Good
Second carload. Best-all ripe"
twenty-five of each. Quick-bell
ringing"
And out the watermelons fly. Per-
haps by the time the fifty melons are
all out the train has started, and within
| five minutes from the time the train
| pulled in fifty melons changed hands,
the cash is paid, and away the train
| speeds, while the melons are picked up
and taken to the stores where they are
retailed at from 20 to % cents each
Many carloads that are shipped in this
wise are dealt out along the line at
| small stations to local dealers, the fruit
never reaching the city where destined.

HEALTHY OCCUPATIONS.

Chambers Journal: The first place
among healthy occupations Is held by
ministers of religion; the death rate of
this class being 500 Next we have
gardeners and nursery men. who stand
at 500; farmers and graziers, 631 agri-
cultural laborers, 701; schoolmaters,
us; the other trades which fol
low closely on these being grocers,
coal merchants, paper manufacturers,
lace and hosiery manufacturers
wheelwrights, ship builders and ship
wrights and coal miners. The figure
of mortality for all these trades is I'M
der IT'S On the other side, that of
the unhealthy occupations, the first
place is held by the the trades which
are concerned IN the manufacture and
distribution of Intoxicating drink,
which. as is well known, entail many
temptations to use it to excess. The
list of unhealthy occupations is head
ed by the class Of inn and hotel ser
wants, whose figure mounts up to 2
205, being nearly double that of the
medicinal profession. The highest
places next to them are held by the
general laborers in London and by
costermongers, hawkers and street
sellers. the former class with 2.020, and
the latter with 1879 1t is probable
that both are largely made up OF
broken men, the wrecks of other call
ings. Innkeepers, publicans, spirit,
wine and beer dealers follow with &
figure Of 1,521, and brewers with 1861
In support of the belief that these
high rates of mortality are chiefly due
to alcoholic excess, Dr. Ogle has com
pared with them the mortalities as
signed to diseases of the liver the
organ through which such excess
chiefly declares itself, and has OBJ
tanned results which are entirely in
harmony with those of the trade re
turns. Next to the trades concerned
with alcohol, the highest rates are fr'
nished by occupations which involve
the breathing of dust-Other than coal
dust-and especially of a sharp and
gritty character, or largely composed
of mineral matter; next, those to
which there is exposure to lead-poison-
ing, as with plumbers, painters and
filemakers. The earthenware manu-
| factuuers, who are much exposed to
mineral dust, have a figure Of 1,742;
flemakers, who worked upon leaden
cushion, reach 1907, and plumbers and
painters, who are also exposed to lead,
reach LOOP.

Speaker Carlisle.

Mr.. Carlisle is a very close reasoner.
His strength in congress, when he was
on the floor as a debater, consi ted in
his ability to analyze questions and to
make thoroughly clear, direct state
ments. He never affected any of the
arts of the rhetorician, nor has he ever
attempted any imprisoned style of de-
livery. He rarely used gestures. He is
a thoroughly courteous man, and never
INDUCES in personalities. He thinks
that arguments in behalf of public
measures are Weakening by appeals to
preludices or the use of personalities.
He treats his opponents with almost the
same courtesy that he extends to his
friends. He is as unlike the average
southern type as one can well imagine.
He is never embarrassed. ! have never
seen him, in the most trying periods in
the house, lose his composure. He is a
man in the neighborhood of six feet in
height. His shoulders sloop slightly.
He always dresses in plain black, and
his dress is as neat as his habits are pre-.
else. His head is large and very evenly
developed. His high forehead is made
to seem more high from the fact that
his hair is worn away at the corners.
He has black wisp which comes down,
Napoleon-like, upon his forehead. His
eyebrows are thick and bushy, and are
so arched as to give awide-open express
sion to his eyes. His eyes are a clear
gray and moderately full underneath
the long lids. His cheek-bones are high,
with slight depressions at the base, on
each side of strong, tirmly-lined, ex
pressive mouth. His nose is large-a
cross between Roman and straight
with full, wide nostrils. His Jaw is
heavy, indicating great tenacity of pur-
pose. His face is smooth shaven. The
blue tint of his shaven beard is almost
the only color in his pallid counterance.
He can nearly always be found at his
desk in his room at the Riggs house,
where he lives, when not occupied al
the house. He is not fond of going out
into general society, but he is one of the
most companionable of men among his
friends. He has quaint humor and
appreciation OF fun which no stranger
would suspect from lookD Q into his
serious, self-contained countenance.-

A WRESTLING GIRL.-Chicago has
one thing that in a long and varied
experience | have never encountered
elsewhere-a girl that whistles in the
street cars One morning last week ]
boarded a Wabash Avenue cable-car
and had scarcely taken a seat when q
girl about Is or 20 years of age got
on. She was a nice enough looking
girl Chicago women are seldom
pretty, with good complexion and
trim figure She sat down and no one
paid any attention to her, until all at
once she began whistling like black
bird or a bootblack She treated the
astonished and amused passengers to
selections from ~The Mikado," Black
Hussar" and "Nanon," and when ]
left the car she was just starting in on
Hear Me, Norma" Now | have oft
en- seen and longed to throttle the
male street car whistler, but this was
my first experience with the female OF
that iIk, and from the looks of mingled
CONSERVATION and amusement on the
faces of the other passen-
gers, I Judge she was new to all Of us
She Whistled away, seemingly UmcOns-
cious of the f;ct That she was creating
a sensation. / say she seemed I'M
conscious Of it. but don't believe she
was SO. [ believe she wanted tOshow
of her accomplishment, and really hel
wlistling amounted to an ACCOMPLISH
ment.

DR.. TALMAGE AND THE CRANK.

1t was suggested to Mr.. Ialnage
that he get up lecture on ''Cranks, >
and relate his experience with cranky
people He laughed and said that
while his experience was wide and
varied on the subjects of "Cranks," yet
there was one story that always came
to his mind when the conversation
turned on these peculiar people. He
was once very busy writing In his
room at hotel and card came up
He gave the bell boy instructions that
he could see nobody and dismissed
him. A little while afterward the card
came up a second time, and he told
the bell boy to tell the man to call on
him the next day, that. he wouldn't
see the angel Gabriel if he called to
day. and the bell boys eyes stuck out
In few minutes the card came up a
third time. and then Mr.. Talmage
went down stairs TO see who his per
sistent visitors was. A man stepped
up to him and said:
you are Mr.. TalInage"
Il am, sir"

FEEDING WORK HORSES.

According to the New York Star the
following is the method of feeding the
horses Of the Adams Express Compa-
ny, in New York. In the morning, the
first thing, we give our horses each
about seven pounds of oats, with
about quart of shelled corn and a
double handful of good hay. At noon
we give them a good peck OF chops,
made of ground or crushed corn,
white .middling. and bran. Every
other night we give them about
ten pounds of hay, and every night
eight or ten pounds Of clean rye straw
for bedding We don't give them hay
every night, because if we do they
won't eat their chops up clean. BY
giving it every other night we find
they always eat up their feed. We
water them three times day-before
they go cut, when they come in, and
after we clean up for the night. OF
course the drivers, when the horses
are out, give them water when they
need it. In warm weather instead of
cracked corn and middlings, we give
corn meal and wheat bran. Our
horses have to do hard work, but we
keep them in good condition. That
is a general statement of the way we
feed horses. OF course, in particular
cases, we have to use Judgment.
When a horse is dull and blows over
its feed the best thing is to take it
away. The chances are that the next
time it viii eat up clean. Don't allow
a horse to stand blowing over its feed
My men are particular also to clean
the manager out well before feeding
and not allow any stale or sour feed to
be left in the manger. There is moth
ing like regularity in feeding When
horses don't have enough at one time,
and then perhaps too much at another,
you cannot expect to keep them well.
L said we gave the horses hay every
other night That is the matter Of
judgment. If you find horses on their
feed and eating it up clean, you can
give them hay every night.
