A Great Flood Pays Expenses.

Mr.. Thomas had large farm on the
Missouri bottoms near Sioux City. 1t
was all fenced with barbed wire, there
being two miles of such fencing on the
place, says the Iowa Falls Register. He
happened in Sioux City just about the
time that the gorge up the river had
damned the river to such prodigious
height. Foreseeing that when the gorge
broke it would be likely to raise the
water to such an extent as to flood his
farm, he rode hastily home and made
preparations accordingly. His stock and
all that was movable was transferred to
higher ground. Then he and his hired
man proceeded to impale small chunks
of meat on every barb of that wire fence
1t was big job, but it was fnishe just
as the river began to cover the lower
pasture lot.
For twenty-six hours the water stood
five feet above the top of the highest
fence post, and when it receded the most
remarkable sight was revealed. From
every barb, except three, of that two
miles of fencing hung a fish. There
were pickerel, bass, pike, suckers, and
every other imaginable variety. A sim
pie calculation will show precisely the
size of the haul. It was fve-wire
fence, each wire having thirty-six barbs
to the rod, making, as any schoolboy
can tell you, total of 115,200 barbs to
the two miles of fencing. There were
three barbs that had caught nothing. so
there were only lis, 1877 fish. Perhaps
the most remarkable part of the story is
to come: From that day to this, in all
parts of the Missouri River, there have
been caught just three fish, the exact
number that didn't get caught on our
friends barb wire fence.

Lost Husbands Found.

The heroes of the best known Ameri-
can legend and one of our most pathetic
English poems-Rip Van Wrinkle and
Enoch Arden-have turnel up together
in France. Two French soldiers have
come back from Germany to the astonish-
ment of their families, who believed
them to be dead. They were taken
prisoners in 1870, and in the course of
their captivity they committed serious
assaults on Prussian soldiers who were
set over them. For these offenses they
We're sentenced to a long term of incar-
ceration in fOrtresses, and were not
Above to communicate with their
friends. Nor when peace came in 1871
were they included in the prisoners of
war released. On the accession of the
Emperor Frederick an amnesty was pre-
pared, and it included the Frenchmen,
who straightway set out on their return
to France. They reached Issoudun,
their native town, to see several changes.
One found his wife married a second
time and the mother of many children,
The other had left his wife in 1870 on
the eve of her confinement. and returned
to find a son of Is, whom he had never
seen, and who had been married some
months. 1t is easy to conceive the con-
fusion of fact and of feeling that must
arise in such cases. Rip Van Wrinkle
in the story discovers that in his long
absence he has expiated his old offenses,
and his wife prefers her first husband,
good -humored, good-for-nothing that he
was, to her hard grasping, selfish second
mate. Enoch Arden, with noble, yet
piteous self-denial, refuses to make him
self known. Few readers can forget the
lines in which Tennyson depicts his feel
ing as he looks upon his lost home The
long-lost Frenchmen had not the oppor-
tunity-perhaps not the inclination
to eXe1 else q similar heroism. Their
return was announced before they APP
peared, and the whole village, as we'll as
their wives, had heard of their long cap
tivity and unexpected arrival The stu
alton is certainly complicated, and it is
to anticipate the denoue-
nent. Will the second husband quietly
his acquired but illegal rights,
Or will the soldier, who was a married
for Is years, prefer to remain
practically unwed ?-London Telegraph.

To Spread Railroad Ballast Tried Success
fully
CHICAGO, August 30.-A party Of rail-
road officials, including superintendents,
roadmasters and chief engineers of the
prominent Chicago roads, was taken to
Hawthorne station on the Burlington road
yesterday afternoon to critically observe
the workings of what is known as ballast
car and spreader. The device is an Aus
tralian invention of one Thomas Rolger
who is in the United States exhibiting it.
1t consists of gondala car provided with
a hopper shaped .and extending to within
q foot of the road bed. This is fitted with
drop doors, by which the amount Of bal
last required is regulated by means Of a
lever on top Of the Car. Following this
car is fat car equipped with plow which
spreads the stone as the train moves along.
In yesterdays test one man distributed 20
tons of ballast along $50 feet Of track and
spread the same in less than minute.
