IF. p. Shannon, the Carbon druggist,
and Andy McMicken. associate editor Of
the Rawlins Journal, were in town for a
few hours yesterday. Both gentlemen
are staunch Democrats aud leaders among
the progressive citizens of Carbon county.
Mr.. Shannon, who is also postmaster at
Carbon, was recently burned out, but with
the enterprise characteristic of a denizen
of that neck O. the woods has opened up
in new quarters. In order to save the
mail at the time of the fire he allowed a
greater portion of his drug stock to be
consumed by the flames.
Mr.. McMicken is a thorough Western
young man who never mentions the fact
that he is a graduate OF fair Harvard. His
bright intellect, hearty manner and gen.
eral good fellowship 20 to make up a man
you don't meet every day. As a writer
he has made the Rawlins Journal a power
in the territory. His crisp editorials are
carefully read and widely copied.

One of the Hot Places.

When Asbury Park is hot it is the hot
test place on the face of the earth. For
some occult reason the sun focalizes here,
and one goes around with the feeling that
he is directly under the rays of a burning
glass. Why such a torrid spot should
have been selected for the camp meeting,
around which, as a nucleus, these places
have grown, it is difficult to imagine, but
perhaps the temperature rose afterward,
as the result of the concentration Of SC
much religious fervor in II spot. How
even that may be, it is noticeable that
there is a rise as 500 rs n gets within
the boundary lines. Everybody flocks tC
the beach, preferring TO sizzle gregari,
ously. Here are the lame, the halt and
the blind; grave and reverend clergy
men; colored people in great numbers;
mammas, with their nurses and little
ones. The babies are the only people
who display much energy, and they have
a good deal more than their nurses feel
TO be at all desirable, considering the
position of the mercury. One class, how.
ever, is conspicuous by its absence-a
pretty girl is a rara avis. Perhaps it is
the way the girls get themselves up, but
they produce the impression of being q
singularly i'll favored company.-New

Students from the Carlisle school.

Sixty-two of the Indian students who
have spent five or more years ut the Car
Isle Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, were
sent to their homes in the west recently.
Some went to Montana, some to Idaho,
others TO Arizona, New Mexico, Indian
territory, Nebraska and Dakota, repre-
senting fifteen different. Indian agencies.
This party of Indian youth was the
brightest crowd of boys and girls eve
sent ont by the Carlisle school. In fact,
so much confidence was placed in them
that they were allowed to return TO their
western homes without an escort, some
thing never before done in the history Of
the school. The party consisted Of
thirty-five large boys, siN small ones and
twenty-one girls. Some of them were
very glad TO return TO their relatives,
from whom they have been separated so
long, but Others appreciated the fact that
there is no salvation for them from the
Indian ways when once brought in con-
tact with them again at their homes, and
much preferred to remain in the east.
The demand of the parents, of course,
o%verthrows the desire Of the young lndi-
ans, and the government, living up TO its
obligation to return all students at the
expiration Of their time, sends them

A Wonderful Rocking Stone.

Imagine a stone, in size containing
about 500 cubic feet, in shape nearly as
round as an orange, in weight not less
than so, 900 pounds, or forty tons, and SO
nicely balanced upon a table of rock that
a child ten years Of age, by pushing
against either the north or south side,
can rock it back and forth; vet the
strength of 100 men, without levers or
other appliances, would be insufficient to
dislodge il from its position. Such is
the celebrated rocking stone on the farm
Of Mr.. j. McLaury, two miles west of
Monticello. This is one of the greatest
natural curiosities in our whole country.
What sculptor could chisel out n piece of
marble of its size, and then poise it so
nicely that it would vibrate under so
light a touchl But its shape, size and
position are not the most wonderful
things about it, Its body is composed of
a somewhat loose and soft sandstone in
which are imbeded numberless round
and fiinty pebbles, of a diamond like
hardness. In all the valley where 1t Is
situated it is the solitary specimen of its
class. Around and under, the rocks are
Of a totally different structure. The
table on which it rests is a hard stone,
nearly rs hard and close grained as the
blue stone of our quarries. From whence
came this wandercr and howi-Monti-

Going a Little Too Fast.

One of the doctors is warning summer
vacationists that their chief danger is 60
ing too fast. 1.-THE most common error
at the start is OVERRIDING" There is a
walk Of several miles on a mountain; or,
if it is bathing in the sea, an hour il
spent among the waves. "Degreeingly
to grow into anything" says one of the
old writers, sis reserved unto the wise
men," lie adds that any change that is
made in our mode of life should be grad
ual. 'The first exercise Of any kind
should never be to the extent Of fatigue.
As to bathing, it is 10 be remembered
that mar is not an aquatic ANIMAL The
trouble with those who seek a summers
rest is that they are carried away by thu
novelty Of new situations and do not con-
tent themselves with peacefully enjoying
anything. This is particularly so Of the
women, who naturally hugely enjoy a
break up Of the monotony of housekeep-
ing.-Globe- Democrat.

The Young Emperor. suggestion.

The curt remark Of the young German
emperor the other day TO the municipal
authorities Of his capital, make it your
business 10 see that more churches are
built in Berlin" has more significance
than appears on the s~urfah,c. For Ber-
lin, Notwithstanding Bismarck's buast
that the Germans love God and fear no
body, is the poorest capital Of Christen-
dom in the matter Of churches. IL has
little more than sixty places Of worship
TO satisfy the wants Of nearly a million
and n half of people. and the number Of
worshipers in all the churches on an ay-
erage Sunday is said to be less than 2 per
cent. Of the entire population. Doubt
less the young emperor thinks anarchy,
communism and lawlessness are calcu-
lated to find a c~ongenial soil for growth
in a city where only 25, 600 out Of over a
million of people assemble in the churches
on Sunday Once a Week.

the letters reached New York aud were

BlOomless Apple Tree That is Yearly
Loaded with Luscious Fruit.
LEEsBURG, OHIO, May % There is at
the residence of DIR, Mclaughlin, in this
TLsge, curious freak of nature; an
spple tree which bears regularly perfectly
formed apples, but never blooms. The
cuttings we're originally brought to Fay
cite county by the early settlers, who
carried them In saddle-oags, and who
thought that by the rough treatment
which they received en- route they would
be worthless. One Of them, however,
grew snd was characterized by the above
phenomens. Some years ago the doctor,
Eho is somewhat of botanist, procured
sIgraft from this remarkable tree, and to
he surprise OF all this too Is devoid OF
bio N. The story of so wonderful fruit
bearing tree became widely circulated
ind Was doubted by many, as an instance
Of this kind is not recorded in any scien-
tic works on the subject, accordingly
Jour correspondent visited the residence
Of the above name gentlem.n this morn
ing The tree was split and mutilsted
BY storms this spring, necessitsting the
removal Of several of its branches. The
remainder Is covered with foliage and
losded with embryo fruit. The apples,
be says, are of variety resembling the
"bella OVER" and is spleudid keeper.
be cannot account for the absence of
bloom, and regards 1t as one OF the mys-
tsrious problems of nature which must
