On reaohinq the Roxbury station he
took q carriage 10 his own farm, which
lay at some distance from the center.
While making this transit he considered
to himself that the path of ambition was
not exactly one Of roses, and that it was
hard for him, at the outset Of his enter
prise, to encounter two faces as disquiet-
ing as those Of Nathan Metcalf and his
daughter.

One of the large clothing establishments In
Broadway was selling off large stock Of
winter overcoats at 81 apiece, and was hay
ing run on them, for they were easily worth
$40. The day the sale opened bright and
well looking young man entered the store
ard purchased one of the cheap garments
On the following day he came back and
bought another. He kept this up every day
for week, and then, his strange act becom
ing noticeable to the clerks, it was decided
that no more overcoats should be sold to him
One morning the young man came into the
store for his ninth overcoat and was politely
Informed that he could have no more for the
low prices at which he had been buying
them.
"By the way" said the clerk, 'what in the
world did you want SO many overcoats for;
Were you selling them in another store at q
better figure?n
''No, indeed" said the young man, smiling
''I'm not in trade. l don't mind telling YOU
however, what l did with your coats. When

ping Fish Into Pen from Mid-Air.
81 see great deal of talk in the papers
every little WHILE" said a man who has built
many miles of railroads and contracted for
any number Of big engineering enterprises,
isabout the foolishness of having the eagle as
an emblem Of our country. He is represented
as a cowardly, thievish unintelligent bird,
and any number of other fowls of the air are
put forward as candidates for the proud po-
sition Of I'll nations bird. Now | am not an
ornithologist, SO am not prepared to argue
over the relative merits of the different
flyers, and | must confess that the eagle is a
,hief always and a coward very often, but
that he is lacking in intelligence l most en-
phatically deny. Let me tell you one little
story of him that puts him in a very favor
able light.
'sYears ago." he began, 81 was engaged in
building a big western road, and one spring
day we pitched our camp on the banks Of one
of the turbulent rivers of the region and set
tied down for a three months job on a ravine
bridge A few days later we noticed an
eagles nest perched up the bluff across the
river and the following Sunday two of our
men swan the stream during the absence of
the old birds and brought back two vigorous
eaglets with them.
1--WE hurriedly patched up pen of pine
slabs for the captives, making it about seven
feet square and leaving lots Of space between
the slabs on the top and sides SO that we could
have good look at the squalling punches Of
feathers. The parent birds came back about
noon, and when they found their little ones
gone they kicked up frightful row and flew
about in search of them as though they were
distracted. When they finally discovered
where the eaglets were they circled around
in the air over the pen, keeping out of reach
of our rifles, and shrieked advice to their
chicks about keeping up their spunk and
making themselves comfortable as plainly as
human beings could.
''Then the old birds flew away and came
back after little with two big fish in their
talons They oircled and circled around over
the pen, and finally let the fish drop straight
as a die right between the slabs in the roof
They kept up this performance every day for
fortnight, and never in all that time did
they miss hitting the pen with the fish they
dropped Their parental affection and intel
ligence so worked on us that we put the Gag
lets back on the other side of the river again
and l tell you it was really affecting to sec
this way those two old birds hung around and
caressed their offspring. They seemed to I'M
derstand after that that we were friendly tc
them, and during the rest Of the time that
we were there they few all about the camp
and had no hesitation in coming down to pick
up the scraps of meat and fish we would
throw to them. l can't say that they shed
tears over our departure but will warrant
thai t4iey felt the pangs of separation as keen
ly as we did "-Dmaha World Herald.

Of the forest once pitched their wigwams.
Aboriginal forest trees in New England are

MoLpING THE CAKES

Thence it enters the molds or cans To
freeze block of ice, say of 300 pounds III by
% by A inches in siZe), requires sixty hours
of constant work under temperature of
about Is to 20 degs. Fahrenheit. 1t is neces-
sary to freeze slowly in order to get absolute
crystal clear ice. After the can has been
frozen it is pulled out of the brine tank by a
hoist and travelling crane, and brought to a
thawing apparatus, which is either tank
filed with warm water or else sprinkler.
After being thawed out of the cans the
blocks, by means of a slide, are run into the
storage house, where they are kept until put
on wagons for delivery.
The brine tank is made of iron or steel, and
its size depends on the capacity of the plant
in which the cooling coils are kept. These
coils are connected with the machine proper
in such way that the ammonia gas, after
having taken up the heat of the water con-
tanned in the cans, is brought into the COM
pressor of the machine and is then recon-
pressed into a liquid. Ammonia gas in it's
compressed state only liquefes under GER
tain temperature, and therefore the COM
pressed gas when it leaves the machine is cir
cnlated through system of pipes called the
condensors, over which a continuous stream
of water is run for the purpose of cooling
them.
The cost of the product depends entirely on
the economical working of the machine and
the proper application of its capacity, and is
composed of the following items: Engineers,
fremen, helpers for handling the ice, fuel,
water, wear and tear of machinery and in
terest on capital invested. These machines
are made from one-half a ton of ice capacity
up to, 100 tons capacity per twenty-four
hours work. The prices range from S., 500
to S130,000 for each machine.-New York

A Famous Church Rebuilt

A fact little known is that the Church of
the Puritans Congregational, which DR..
George B. Cheever brought into particular
prominence by his vehement Sunday evening
anti-slavery sermons, delivered on the break
ing out of the civil war, vas, after demol
ton, put up again, stone by stone, in another
part of the city. When it stood on the west
side of Union square its gray granite walls
covered with ivy and its two irregular tow
ers were for years conspicuous to the Broad
way throng. In its present restored condi.
ton in FiftY-third street, near Seventh ave
nue., its walls are ivyless, which SO alters it's
appearance that it readily escapes recogni-
ton, especially under the name of the Colored
Baptist church, which purchased the old edi-
nee ana had tne material carefully removed.
