Gilbert who has the matter under his

'bout on hour delay in trains. The
Butte train was abandoned yesterday and
passengers are taken over the through
trains to Garrison aud thence by local
train. There is no estimating
THE DAMAGE DONE
BY the fire, but it will doubtless be con.
siderable and may require days, if not
weeks, in being repaired. If the work

tunnel was accepted by congress as q

placed in position to issue bonds at the

ignorant barbarians. But the spirit re

Not many years has he left of this life.
Death has already set his mark up, n
him. The eyes, that have lost their
brightness and that age and toll hav,
dimmed, gaze TRANQUILITY into the next

The Housetops in New York.

There are roofs, too, where something
is always being fixed. Now it is patch
in the tin, which one rOofer makes in a
leisurely way, with frequent rests and
pipes, while his chum sleeps in the shade
Of a chimney stack; then it is the tele-
graph lineman, setting up a frame to
string wire on, and again q couple of
bricl1layers, with trowel and bucket of
mortar, plastering up chimney and max
ing days work of what could be done in
an hour. The fat man who hauls q mat
tress up the scuttle and takes a nap in the
free air every evening from dinner to bed
time will break his neck some day unless
he reforms his habit of dreaming and
rolling around like porpoise in a lively
sea, and only miracle will save the boy
who raises a kite from some day walking
backwards off the gutter and making a
pancake of himself four stories below.
The young man with the absent express
sion who sits ON the top Of the chimney tc

must be poet or in love- The youna
woman who brings book up with her ranc
sits IN the scuttle to read it, while her lit

The cat, by the way, is the presiding
spirit of all the roofs one sees from one,

SCARED and lazy; he always has disrepu
table look and tough manner, and il
would puzzle even the Inspiration of Nine
Diss Debar to tell in what house he be
longs, for whenever he finds a scuttle ope1
he goes down as calmly as if he had in
habited that special house and no othel
all his life. He generally comes out agai1
with more celerity, frequently followed by

diamond Mining in SOUTH Africo.

The diamondiferous soil is quarred out
below by Kafrs and deposited in great
iron buckets which run on standing wire
ropes, and are hauled up by steam to the
receiving boxes on the brink of the mine.
Everywhere is activity and hustle, and a
loud hum comes up out of the vast hole
from 5000 to 4, 200 human beings engaged
at work below. The men themselves look
like so many flies as they dig away at the
blue soil, and the thousands of wire ropes
extending from every claim to the de
posting boxes round the edge have the
appearance of huge spiders web. while
the buckets perpetually descending empty
and ascending full might well represent
the giant spiders.
Every thirteen or fourteen Kafrs at
work in the mine have a white overseer,
to prevent as much as possible that
wholesale robbery which goes on among
them. One would think they would find
it rather hard to steal, and still more
difficult to conceal a diamond on thei1
naked persons under the eye of the over
seer; but. despite all precautions. they dc
steal vast number of stones, picking
them up and carrying them away in then
mouths or between their toes. The
largest diamonds are usually unearthed
in the mines before the stuff is washed,
and an overseer must keep his eyes well
open, for he cannot be sure Of the honesty
Of any one of his "boys. s."-Glohe Demo

Coffee Making in Venezuela.

What l saw of the process of making
coffee requires no elaborate. carefully
considered description. The following
plain and unstilted cook book, English,
will suffice to initiate the careful pains
taking housewife in the mystery of how
to make a cup of coffee Get your Vene-
zUela cOffee-the fattest, roundest, heavi-
est beans-rOast enough Of them to serve
for the making of as many large cupfuls
as there are to be drinkers Roast the
beans, do not burn brown, do not blacken
them; bray them while hot in a mortar
with pestel do not grind them in any
kind of a patented or unpatented labor
saving and coffee spelling machine what
sOever Crushing does not, and grinding
does, cause the coffee to part with some of
its aroma. Tie the grains thus crushed
to about the size of faxseed in a bag of
thick white flannel, so thick that no dirt
or dust, if any there be in the coffee, may
escape through the interstices of the
cloth. Take a plain earthen pot, fill it
with water and set it on the fire till it is
hot, very hot, and the water has been
boiling minute or two. Throw out the
water, put in the bag, let the coffee steam
a few minutes, the lid of the pot closely
fitting, and allowing no escape of aroma.
Carefully lift the cover pour in boiling
water enough to make one-third of a cup
of coffee for each prospective drinker and
one-third of a cup for the pot. Let the
bag of coffee boil three minutes, the lid
of the pot still on, letting the steam
escape as little as possible
In three minutes-the time it takes TO
boil an egg-the coffee is ready Pour
out ono-third of this black, strong, hair
lifting essence, dilute it with twice the
quantity of boiled milk-milll of the An
dalusian cow; sweeten it with papelon,
natural Venezuelan sugar crystals, and
