Chicago's Railway Breakers.

CHICAGO, April 2.-Judging from sp-

commencement Of q strike that can re-
suit only in injury to this city.
1t is thought by the railroad men that
the only preventive of strike for the
Chicago, and suburban roads today ia
the nearness Of the aldermanio election.
On Wednesday when the political battle
is over, the railroad war will boom in all
its vigor. In the Burlington division OF

were on the ground, but they we're not

lutely nothing for them to do.

Transplanting q Forest.

The count of Monte Cristo was the first
to suggest the practicability of trans
planting full grown forest trees. He
has followers now in Indianapolis. A
primeval forest east of the city is being
removed-aboughs, trunks, roots and ali.
Col. johnson last summer erected a
dwelling on the open ground near his
garden, this side of Irvington; the suns
rays beat down on that house blisteringly,
and the colonel concluded to protect it
with trees. One Bunnell was found who
declared he could transplant an adjacent
forest to the colonel's yard. The trees
vary from ten to eighteen inches in
diameter. Bunnen rugged up a stout
wagon, fastening to the hind wheels an
immense lever, forty to fifty feet long.
thick and strong. This was lashed at
one end to the wagon. Around tree to
be removed he dug trench, the radii
being three or four feet. On one side he
dug twelve inch trench close to the
tree, and into this trench he backed his
wagon wheels with the erect lever. The
lever then stood parallel with the trunk
OF the tree, ,eand the two were lashed to-
gether, boom fashion. As far up as the
tree trunk was stiff the lever would be
tightly fastened, giving one solid, un-
yielding leverage. From the top of the
logs thus doomed a rope was run around
pulley fastened at the surface of the
ground 100 feet or more from thu tree.
Teams hitched to theend Of the ropc
could then with ease uproot the tree with
a large quantity of earth and roots at
tached. When thus uprooted it would
be on wheels and easily movable, held
steadily from roots to tip. The success
of the work on the johnson place has led
to the removal of many large trees on the
north side. The process is believed to
be of no harm to the trees life. How
ever, spring will reveal the sequel.-In.

Sunerfor to Cremation.

j. g. Meyers, a young inventor of
Washington, has invented a plan which
he believes to be superior to cremation,
burial, or any other ancient or modern
method of treating the dead bodies The
new mausoleum and safe deposit for
the dead' is the name of this new con-
trivance. Mr.. Meyers plan may be re-
garded as compromise between the two
extremes of interment and cremation. In
ssireproof building spaces will be provided
ftst large enough to hold single coffin.
When coffin with dead body is placed
N one of these the door of the apartment
is hermetically sealed. Running from
these apartments are tubes which bring
air into the dead rooms, and also carry
it downward by forced draft to CEN
trail furnace below, where are consumed
all gases and fluids escaping from the
bodies. Dead bodies treated in this man
ner, will in a short time, it is claimed,
BECOME naturally preserved, or dried,
and so remain. Chicago News,

Taken at an Advantage.

A Philadelphian saw club footed man
under the influence of liquor, and kindly
assisted him to the house where he said
he lived and rang the door bell. When
the door opened two young women, who
had evidently been expecting him, caught
him without ceremony, threw him down
in the entry and, while the elder sat on
him, the younger deliberately set about
unscrewing the only leg that appeared to
be sound, but which proved to be arti-
fetal. After detaching it she marched
off with it, with the remark; ''There,
you fool; III put this away where you
won't get it in hurry, and may be you'll
stay sober when you have to stay in the
house" 1t turned out that the only
means of preventing an over indulgence
in liquor was to deprive him of his arti-
fetal leg, which was substitute for
natural malformation. Chicago Herald.

Paris Picture Market.

Never, probably, in the history of Paris
has the picture market been in so de-
pressed state as it is at this moment.
A few great artists, like Bougureau,
Meissonier, Or Benjamin Constant find
ready purchasers for their work at very
high prices. But the rank and file have
the greatest difficulty in making both
ends meet. If the import duty on pict-
ures for the United States were removed
American amateurs would probably come
forward In increased numbers, but until
then there seems little hope of any i'm
provement. AS an illustration Of the ex-
isting depression may be mentioned the
result of the sale, after death, of the
works belonging to NJ. Jacquinot, the
artist expert, which has just come to an
end at the Hotel Drout. Two thousand
pictures put up to auction only produced
81, 600 francs, or e840, being an average
of sixteen shillings per picture. In some
cases two or three canvases together were
sold for five francs, and not single work
realized e20. -Galignani's S Messenger.

was alone at home when vicious look

something to eat. Although frightened,
the child told him he could not have any

at this the tramp stepped into the hall,
saying that che guessed he would stay
awhile The quick witted child calmly
said: "Well, Wen see; I'll ask my papa, :"
and went into the back room for |. minute
as if to speak with him, Returning, she
found that the tramp had stepped outside
again and was standing looking in. She
walked boldly up to the door and said:

go, SO go!" and she slammed the door in
his face and locked it.-Chicago Herald.

The Barber's Sign.

In the recent national convention of
BARRIERS at Buffalo the question of substi-
tuting some other sign for the red and
white striped barber pole was discussed,
and it has been engaging the attention of
gentlemen of the tonsorial profession
ever since. 1t is said that in early times
BARRIERS served the public in the capacity
of surgeons also, and that the pole SYM
bolized an arm wound with ribbon prev
ious to the letting of blood. It was
George II, of England, who decreed that
henceforth the trade Of the barber should
be foreign to and independent of the
practice of surgery" Despite the fact
that the striped pole is the symbol of
blood letting, it seems to be the opinion
of conservative BARRIERS generally that no
other sign would be SO effective, New
