There is always the proportion of night
owls, men who work when others sleep.
They have an air about them which is
unmistakablc, for while they look tired
from tho toll they have just left, it is a
different Hind of fatigue from that which
one notices among those who are cup
late" Many, in fact the majority, Of
these are from the newspaper offices,
and they can always be known from the
shop talk they indulge in. Curioisly
enough newspaper men do not talk very
much about their business in the day
time, not more, Mt least, than does any
Other class Of .neu. ...-..
But at night it would seem as though
their brains arc go full of tho subjects
they have just left that their chat be-
comes of the shop, shoppy style. 1t is as
though surgeons had come from the
scene Of some operation and were con-
strained to speak Of the flap and the
drainage. Their talk is ''caviare to the
general" " conveying as 1t does an odd
impression OF inside information among
the speakers. Then, too, it is mostly in
the future; they constantly talk of that
which others do not know yet. Their
discussion Is Of what the papers will
speak tomorrow morning; the news of
the afternoon has already become ancient
history to tEem. That they deal in news
is recognized practically by others, for
nothing Is more common than TO have
some gentlemen apply for information.--

Fancy travel at the rate OF two miles q

sensations of being in love or hot bath.

very faint idea of The positively delight
ful sensation that fly down toboggan

TO lose consciousness; the route lies be-
tween earth and sky; you have your
heart at your tongues end, and when
the bottom of the slide is reached 1t is
with shooting pulse" tingling blood
and flaming spirits. You feel as thougl,
you had at last reached the acme Of en-
joyment; that life was dream, earth q

Not long ago lot Of Sea Island cotton
IN bales was discovered TO be on fire IL
New Jersey warehouse, and when the
flames were extingiished in one spot,
they would Immediately break out in
another. An examination showed that
it was roller gin cotton; that IL, cotton of
which the lint Is drawn away from the
seeds by n pair of rollers, set Mt such a
distance apart as to keep the seeds from en-
tcring between them, while the fibre passes
on and goes into bag. In the present
case, more or less Of the seeds had some
how got between the rollers and been
crushed, and had thus saturated the cot
ton with oil, which, in due time, had
caused spontaneous combustion.
a still more curious case occurred in q
Massachusetts, factory. In the middle of
the room n milling machine was turning
knife handles, the dust being blown up
through n metal tube into the room above
and thence forced out Of doors through a
wooden pipe. a spark from an emery
wheel, fifteen feet from the milling ma
chine, struck window, and rebounding,
entered the mouth of the metal tube, set
the wood dust on fire, 80 that the flames
poured out of the wooden pipe in stream
twenty feet long.
An engineer, cleaning up n mill, put
some cotton waste in front Of the boiler,
where it would be handy for the fireman
in the morning. During the night this
took fro spontaneously the flames spread
to tho kindlings under tho boiler, and
soon raised steam enough to cause the
boiler TO blow off, badly soaring the
watchman, who knew, or thought he
knew, that there was no fire under 1t.
In another instance man drove nail
into the ceiling Of n jutc mill. The nail
glanced Off, was struck by the rapidly
moving beaters and caused n serious con-
flagration.-Youth's Companion.

Our road commissioners are

ed. Bohemian needs three facili
ties to get on boom. First rail-
road passing through this valley,
a telephone connecting this place
and Wales, and a first class pike
intersecting the Vale Mills and Pu-
laski turnpike. The latter two are
indispensable. The telephone we
believe could be put up this fall if
some one interested would talk it
up little. Three or four miles of
wire would connect us talephonical-
ly, and five miles of pike would
give us pike facilities. We hope
the present company will extend
their pike and put up another gate.

drive over rough roads. We think
there is something grand in store
