A YOUNG THIEF
Steals a Railroad Ticket and IL Ar.
rested

A youth about fourteen years of age has
got into trouble at Dresden. This station of
the Maine Central is one Of those from which
tickets to other stations are filed out in
writing from small book, not being sup
piled with regular tickets. One day recently
the ticket agent. after making out ticket
for A passenger laid the book down and was
called out of his office for short time.
making out OF the ticket. picked up the book
and writing in the next vacant place, 'Dres-
den to Boston," tore out the coupon and
pocketed it without the ticket agents knowl-
edge. Then. with the usual cunning of the
wrong -doer, he footed it to Richmond and
boarded Jewetts train on Friday afternoon.
That gentleman, on taking the ticket, motto ed
the way in which it was made out and that it
was not right, as no book tickets are issued
to Boston; bu, supposed that the agent being
q new man had made a mistake.
He asked the boy how much
the ticket cost the youth replying $3.50.
This is 40 cents more than the regular fare,
and so the conductor remarked. but passed
on determined to watch the chap. At Bruns-
wick the boy, evidently suspicious as to the
questions of the conductor, left the train.
Jeweu missed him on his passage through
the train after leaving Brunswick, and tele-
graphed the conductor of the Yankee,
which followed Immediately, to watch for
the ticket and arrest the holder. As was
expected the fellow boarded the Yankee"
and was arrested by its conductor, and on
reaching Portland was delivered into Conduc-
tor Jeweus hands. who in turn delivered him
over to Gen. Ticket Agent Boothby. IL Is
not known who the boy is nor what will be
the action of the officers Of the road in deal
ing with his misdemeanor.

1t is impossible to make any great time on
the track ss it is at present. With the August
races coming on so quickly, it would seem
that something should be done To repair tn e
track. so that those having the right to use
the track may enjoy its full advantages.
They are now ANXIOUS to put their horses in
training for coming ,rotting events. a thing
which is practically impossible under the
present condition of the track. slight ex-
penditure would remedy matters. and it is
probable that the association. which is ever
jealous to please its patrons. will have the

judicious cost is an object, dispense with
trimmings, have all pleats pressed carefully
and tackled to Innings, to keep in place, use
handsome buttons and silk Innings, desira-
Bile for warmth as we'll as elegance, and put
the money into pretty plastoons, crayats and
kerchiefs to wear with the dress. Mary An
derson wears very plain gowns, however ex-
pensive, for the street or carriage, but has
charming cravats and lingerie for the throat,
stylish gloves and hat, instead of overloaded
trimming, which always looks third rate
on an outdoor dress.
To freshen passee silk take spots out
with ether, press with hot irons, with thin
wool yelling above the silk, make a plain
skirt with front widths fitted to the hips and
run strips of ribbon velvet in different
widths down these fronts. Two inch, inch
and half-inch velvets are very well used in
this way, with the effect OF graduated
stripes. To keep silks from ''cutting out"
and wearing on the hips, lnterline with the
thinnest layer of wadding tackled to the
skirt lining, for which black linen lawn at
25 cents yard is a good thing. Make the
under part of sleeves, the elbows and waist
under the arms of the dress material double,
to prevent wearing out and to give ease in
mending. There are but two shapes OF bon
nets worth considering, the toque for
piquante, or regular features, and the poke,
with broad fat brim in front rounding to
the crown alone behind, for passee or prorn-
inent faces. Straw will be worn late this
year, silk, mixed with velvet and fine jet

ostrich plumes, which keep in curl much
longer than the ordinary ones, and are said
to resist even seaside damp.

DAYS work, to the turning out by machine
of 730 cans, or four times as many.
The next process, boiling. likewise dis.
closes the march of improvement. Until
within year or two the cans were sub.
jected to over four hours immersion in
tanks of boiling water Now they are
boiled in ''wood baths" from 90 to 80 min.
utes, and finished in one hour by steaming
in iron retorts.
Lacquering, labelling, boxing and ship
ping are the finishing steps, All is done by
hand except the labelling, which is per-
formed by a bevy of young women, who
rapidly paste the ends of many wrappers at
time and deitly draw them around the
cans.
When the last of the immense pile oi
boxed cans has been carted to the cars OF
steamer, the corn factory, previously SO
busy, suddenly becomes silent and deserted,
except by the foreman and three or four can
makers, until the beginning Of another corn
season.
The corn canning industry is great help
to the small farmer. In addition to his
other crops he plants every year from one to
five, and in more instances as many as 20
acres, which bring him 8 cents a canfull,
thereby supplying him with an abundance
of ready cash. CHARLES o. STICKNEY.

A FLYING MACHINE.
Some Good Reasons Why it is Impossible to
Make One.


Make One.
Popular Science Monthly.l
We must admit that bird is an incom-
parable model of flying machine. No
machine that we may hope to devise, for the
same weight of machine, fuel and directing
brain, is half So effective. And yet this
machine, thus perfected through infinite
ages by a ruthless process of nat
ural selection, reaches its limit of
weight at about 80 pounds. I said weight
of machine, fuel and directing brain. :"
Here Is another prodigious advantage of the
natural over the artificial machine. The
flying animal is its own engineer. The
flying machine must carry its engineer. The
directing engineer in the former lthe brainl
is perhaps an ounce, in the latter 1t is $50
pounds. The limit OF the flying animal is
30 pounds.
The smallest possible weight of flying
machine, with its necessary fuel and en-
gineer, even without freight or passenger,
could not be less than 300 or 400 pounds.
Now, to complete the argument, put these
three indisputable facts together: 1. There
is low limit of weight, certainly not much
beyond 30 pounds, beyond which it is i'm
possible for an animal to fly.
Nature has reached this limit, and
with her utmost effort has failed
to pass it. 2. The animal machine is far
more effective than any we may hope to
make; there FORE the limit of the weight of
a successful flying machine cannot be more
than so pounds. 8. The weight of any
machine constructed for flying, including
fuel and engineer, cannot be less than 300
or 400 pounds.
Is it not demonstrated that true flying
machine, self-raising, self-sustaining, self
propelling, is physically impossible.

WHAT A CHINOOK CAN DO.
Eight Feet of Snow Melted in 12 Hours
by the Warm Wave.

Eight Feet of Snow Melted in IL Hours
by the Warm Wave.
Correspondence of the Globe Democrat
Mr.. S. G. Cosgrove. of Pomeroy, Wash.
T., is the Department Commander Of the
Grand Army of the Republic for Washing
ton. He enjoys the distinction of being the
only private elevated to that responsible
position. He came West from Ohio, where
he was a prominent educator. Telling of
what he had known the chinook to accom-
p1ish, Mr.. Cosgrove said this:
81 have seen eight feet of snow, that is
eight feet measured as it fell from time to
time, go off the ground here in 12 hours.
That was the hardest winter I have known
in Washington. Usually the chinooks are
so frequent that the snow has no opportunity
to accumulate. But that winter it Law 10
days before melting. The farmers had not
prepared for it, and cattle had hard time
getting through. There was an interesting
exhibition of the instinct of the poor brutes'
At the very first sign OF the chinook the old
COWS, which had been about to drop with
hunger, could be seen staggering toward the
tops OF the hills. They seemed to know that
there the snow would melt fastest and the
grass be uncovered soonest.
"In Eastern Washington you can gee
teams working IN the fields every month in
the winter. We have days which are cold.
and when the ground freezes to some depth
but one days chinooking will take all Of
the frost out of the ground. You may not
believe it, but have seen six inches OF frost
60 out of the ground in one hour. That is a
pretty bigstory to tell farmers back in the
Mississippi Valley, but it is true"

A FOUR YEAR-OLD FoRGER.
A Smart Chicago Youngster Acts as His
Mothers Amanuensfs.

Chicago Herald.
years. Up on one of the Southside avenues
is lady who is the mother of a bright
youngster aged years. This youngster Of
hers has annoyed her greatly by running
away during the day to the house of a
neighbor, about block away, and hiding
himself there until some one is sent after
him. Rather than be annoyed in hunting
after him, his mother called on the lady
who owned the children in the next block,
and came to an understanding with her.
"When I am willing that George should
call on your children" she said, II will
write note to that effect and pin it on his
arm. In the note will state what time
want him sent home, and you can act ac-
cordingly."
Well, the other lady agreed to this plan.
A day or so later the youngster appeared at
her house with note pinned on his arm.
She thought it was all right, and she al
lowed him to play with her children until
she thought it time to look and see when
he was to be sent home. When she un-
folded the paper she saw nothing but lot
of scribbling, and she asked the youngsEer
what it meant.
"Well," he said, "my mamma was
asleep when wanted to come up here, so
wrote the note myself"
The lady was dumfounded. The wise
youngster had seen his mother write the
notes which gave him his freedom, so he
thought, as she was asleep when he wanted
to 60, that he might as we'll write note
himself rather than disturb her. That boy
will never get left.
