A Sparrow's Unwilling Journey.

A we'll known conductor on the
Northern,,P Pacific tells aqueer story aboat
the compulsory immigration of hen
swallow, nest, eggs, and all from st.
Paul to Portland, Or.
The swallows last spring, evinced a
particular fondness for the caves of a
sleeping car in the yards in st. Paul,
and several nests were built by the
busy little workers before the repairs
on the interior of the car were COM
pleted and it was returned to the SER
vice. When the car was pulled out
and attached to the west-bound train,
there was a commotion among the
feathered community; but the. train
pulled out just the same, and every one
supposed that the swallows had con-
Guided to build new homes, and start
new families. When the first stop
was made, however, there emerged
from one of the nests badly scared
hen swallow. which flew around about
the car until the train started, when
she darted into the nest again, resum-
ing her exhibition of bewilderment at
each stopping place. The bird travelled
all the way to Portland in the same
way, being kept watch on by the sleep
ing-car porter, who, when ordered to
do so by one of the road officials at
Portland, knocked down the nest, and
the bird mother, bereft of the home
and prospective progeny she had so
zealously guarded, flew wildly about
for a time and at last flew away.-St.
Paul Globe.

Mistakes Made BY Country Men.

Did you ever see young man from
the country trying to light cigar from

says writer in the St. Louis GLOBE.
Democrat. He was very tall, and tip
toed for it for ten minutes, but somehow
the weed wouldn't light. Another in

clerk came in from the country. The
electric lights were suddenly turned

no use wasting gas" 1t took ten
minutes to explain that the gas famed
the same if the stop was turned on,
whether ignited or not. But whcn that
boys father came to town he ciimaxed.
He was a farmer; his hands were
cracked from husking frosty corn. He
had been taking candle, warming the
end and greasing his hands. Well, his
son had a chandelier of porcelain mock
candles. He left the old gent at home
and the latter concluded to retire. To
do the nightly greasing he got down
one of those candles. The chandelier
was adjustable, but the old gent wasn't
up to that. But he got up, nearly to
standing on his toe nails, and held that
candle to the flame of another. His
sight was dim, and he would have to
get down every moment. But the fat
wouldn't run from that candle, and
guess he would be still trying to fry il

Declined With Thanks.

Speaking of editors the case of the
editor who wants to contribute an arti-
Gle to some other periodical than his
own-a magazine, for instance-is a
curious one. says the Boston transcript.
For the time being he puts himself in
the place of contributor and feels the
pangs of timid author. The Listener
once knew a newspaper editor who was
inspired to write an article of n light
and entertaining character, suitable fol
magazine. He wrote it in his odd
moments, and then set to speculatin9
as to whether it had any particular
value. 1t seemed to him that it had,
but the reflection that he might be
preiudiced in it's favor troubled him.
He had had precisely the same feeling
when somebody had brought him an az
ticle that he wanted to judge fayorably.
How was he to get his own impartial
| Judgment on his own articleP He
thought about it some time, and finally
decided that the only way to get the
necessary conditions was to send him
self the article through the mail, to re-
! ceive it with other contributions, and tt
! treat it all the way through as if it were
somebody else's.
! The plan worked to a charm. Th
editor wrote little note to himself tx
accompany the article, inclosed stamp
for reply or return of the manu-
script and mailed the whole at the post
office. Toward the close of the day
when the editor was near the end of
lot of wearisome communications, ant
had got himself into the declining moo
that comes with fatigue, his article al
rived. After he had allowed it to Ii
around a while he broke the seal an
read it. Then he took little slif
wrote on it retiectively, inclosed it wit
the manuscript in big envelope an
put it into the compartment marke
''postoffice' in the tin box that hung b
the side of his desk. Next morning h
received the parcel back and read wit
breathless interest this note which az
companied the manuscript:
Unavailable. Too discursive an
trivial in its tone. Should have bee
elaborated with more care Many pa
sages not needed in the presentation {
the idea. Contains promise. howeye
author is advised to try again"

USES oE TIE CACTUS.
1t Furnishes Both Food and Drink to the
Poorer Class of Mexico.

The remark has been made that ''the
cactus has many good points and will
not be sat down upon" The remark
is rs a true one. for, as is the reindeer
to the LapEander, so is the cactus to the
Door Mexican. It furnishes him with
a home. such as it is. His food in
many WAYS is prepared from the cac-
tus. Sit down to a meal in wretched
Mexican iacal and if you do not wish
to spread Your length upon the floor
YOU will be offered a small wicker stool
made from the tough fiber of the cac-
tus. The mating spread upon the
dirt floor, which serves MS a table, Is
woven from the same material.
Corn-meal cakes (tortillas), boiled
beans, great fat fellows, and pleas
ant and wholesome dish of stewed
cactus cut into small squares, about
the size of a pea, will constitute your
repast of solids. The fruit, without
which no Mexican meal is complete,
will be the luscious tuna, which grows
around the edges of the prickly leaves
or the cactus. and which when grow
ing resembles huge green shield sur
rounded by crescent of thorny knobs
about the size of a small apple, as if
serving as Il protection for the tender
edges of the leaves. In Mexican din
ner, sweets always occupy the con-
spicuous part, and on this occasion the
Dice will be the preserved roots or
leaves of this same cactus.
Though the Mexican people are not
a race of hard drinkers, yet at mea
times the wine or other fermented
liquors are inevitable, and, as the low
er class of Mexicans can not afford
wine, YOU are invited to partake once
more of this much-abused cactus, this
time in the form of tequila, most
atrocious drink, which looks like gin,
harmless enough to all appearance, but
which goes down your throat Ikea wave
of fire, and few glasses of which will
make YOU drunk clear to your finger
tips. Should this prove too much fol
! you, you are at liberty to partake o
another beverage derived from the
same source, but not quite as ardent
l. e., mescal. This liquid leaves del
. icate suggestion of tat and red pep
per in your mouth, and if drunk, afte
, eating a certain kind of domestic fruit
2 it is very dangerous, and in many
cases results very disastrously for tn
; imbiber. --kdnsaS City Times.

Salt Lake Girls in the Brine.

The Salt Lake girl is, as a rule, mos
bewitching when skipping down Gar
field beach into the lake, for she will
tell you that she's ''all over in love

OF a bathing suit does she wear? Well
the entire suit is either of black Q
gray, through most frequantly of black
Il consists Of a sleeveless blouse, CT

Long stockings meet a gay little pair 0
pants above the knee, and little OF

wear the same, there being many wh'
prefer that the skirt full reveal instea'

just the least bit stunning, but then
they were first family ladies, and S

Lionel Burnett Not a FauntIeroy

Mrs. Hodgson Burnette's elder son.
Lionel, spent some time at Atlantic
City last summer. Vivian was with
his mother doing Europe, and DR.. Bur-
nett was not expected home for several
months. Lionel was staying with
friends in one of the cottages and ap-
peared to enjoy the absence of the pa
ternal eye.
The heir to the Burnett estates is Is
years old. He is short, but thickly
set, with large head. He can outdo
in cussedness any five boys in the
neighborhood.
A reporter had long talk with the
brother of the original Lord Fauntle-
roy, who, as everybody knows, is Wv
ian, and appended are some of the re-
marks he made on himself, on his
mother, on Vivian, the little lord, and
on his mothers books.
WV" he said, ''was as much of a
boy and a nuisance as | am until ma
had 'Fauntleroy' published. We both
had orders to appear in our velvet
suits and to behave like little lords,

down and posed accordingly to orders.

and thunder and Il fine detective in it.
20, you should see Viy writing
letter. Doesn't look much like the lit
tie lord. He sits down at the table
stretches himself and his legs. and
then scribbles. Viv is a pretty fellow,
He doesn't like anybody to say so, and
he once attempted to lick a fellow for
saying so. Mas books have ruined
Viv. Before they were published he
was firstrate fellow and liked good
big spree as much as ! do now,"

A Compressed Afr Company.

One of the most important enterprises
in Paris is the Compressed Air compa-
ny,which distributes power throughout
the city. It began with a pneumatic
clock system about 1870. This business
grew until there are now about 5000
pneumatic clocks, public and private,
driven from a station about four miles
of east-the Madeleine. The company dis
tributes power for any purpose. There
are about 250 motors varying in power
from one-eight horsepower to fifty
horsepower, for all sorts of purposes,
all driven from the central station. The
system used is that of Victor Popp. and
it is being extended with great rapid
tV.
