Remembered His Old Masters voice-A
True and Touching Story.
Ceur d'Alene City Times.
]. 81. Brobaska, the well-known ex-con-
ductor Of the Northern Pacific railroad, is
noted for his fondness for dumb animals
of every description. and If he had re-
tanned all the "pets" he has possessed at
various times he would have fair start in
the way OF geological garden of his own.
Probably the most novel of all his ex-
periences In this line-as related by him
self-recently occurred on the lake near
this city. Some time last summer, while
strolliug about Coeur d'Alene's suburbs,
he came across two small turtles (lively lit
tie fellows of the water species) and sue
ceeded in capturing them. He placed
them in his coat pocket, took them to Spo-
kane Falls. and there provided them with
q miniature aquarium in his room, and
commenced their domestication and edu-
cation. One of them the tutor named
Pat" and the other one he called Pete. !"
Pat had evidently at some time in his life
been hod-carrier, for on his back was a
white spot, as if caused by drop Of
plaster falling upon it. AS winter ap-
preached and Mr.. Brobaska was absent
from his room great portion OF the time,
he became solicitous for the welfare OF his
proteges, and finally determined TO bring
them back to the Ceur d'Alene lake and
set them free. Accordingly they were
again placed in his pocket, and in due time
returned to their native element.
A few DAYS ago, while Mr.. Brobaska and
some friends were rowing upon the lake,
the former espied a small turtle swimming
upon the surface q short distance from
them. He instantly stretched out bis
hand to the uncouth voyager and called
out: Pete, Pete. come here, old boy u
but as the summons was not obeyed, he
changed the salutation 10 Pat. Pat! At
the pronunciation OF the magic name the
little paddier stretched out bis neck,
turned his head, and as the call was re-
peated, changed his course and swan fear
lessiy TO the boat. where he climbed into
his masters hand, was placed IN the lat
ter's pocket anu has again become citizen
OF spokane Falls. Mr.. Brobaska hopes in
time TO find Pete" again and recover him
in the same way.

The Eim as a shade Tree.


Our elm, therefore. being so impatient of
drought. and being so dependent on abund.
ant nourishment. is not a safe tree to plant
In all sorts of soils and situations, although
it has long been the habit to plant it
everywhere in some parts of the country.
As growth and vigor diminish insects
multiply, and none of our trees suffer to
such an extent from their ravages. There
can be no more forlorn spectacle. certain.
iy, than the rows of half-grown, stunted
elm trees which may be seen in our
cities and their suburbs, distgured by the
cankerworm and by hordes of other in
sects. The elm Is one of the best trees to
plant where the soil is deep and rich and
where moisture is abundant and constant:
il is one of the least desirable of all trees
to set by the side of city streets, where plant
food is always lacking and where moisture
is quickly carried of by the artificial drain
age OF road-bed and service pipes. GIVE it
q fair chance and the American elm will
hold Its own against any tree in the world
in its own peculiar light and graceful
beauty; but. unless all the conditions favor
it, there is no tree less satisfactory, and it
should not be planted unless these condi-
tons can be supplied.

An Essay on Sugar.
Texas Siftiugs.

Very ancient races were acquainted with
sugar, but it was chiefly in the cane. They
knew no art by which it could be crystal
lied so that the table waiter might come
along and ask, How many Jumps in your
coffee, sir?" They chewed the cane to ex-
tract its sweets. and the habit some men
have of sucking the handles of their walk
ing canes is doubtless q survival of those
early days. The word sugar is derived
from the Arabic shuker. and it Is men,
toned as something rather odd that the
Hebrew word tor being intoxicated is
shauer, though it isn't singular at all when
We consider how many men taxi sugar in
theirs. When it first came into use sugar
was largely employed for medicinal pur.
poses and it is medicine now
10 men who love to take their
liquor clear. Europe was indebted to the
Saracens for the manufacture of sugar.
They were not very refined. but their sugar
was. 1t was not until the fourteenth CEN
fury that sugar was known in England
and it did not become an article of general
consumption for 800 years. Now the great
est consumers OF sugar are the people of
the United States, due. in q degree TO their
habit OF giving taffy, and in the necessity
OF employing 1t IN order to carry an cleo

DGaybs the Great Northern May Touch
There ~ Well ~ At Seattle.
San Francisco. Aug. l6.--Messrs. Minot
and Crueer haye been asked several times
Is to whether or not their presence in this
city had any connection with any proposed
extension Of the Great Northern railway
into California, as mentioned in last weeks
dispatches. Both gentlemen insist that
their visit Is one solely for pleasure and
rest. Mr.. Minot has been i'll at the Palace
for several weeks. but for which he would
have returned home long ago. Their re-
tirement from the Eastern Minnesota rail.
way is explained on the ground that closer
consolidation bad been effected with the
parent company, Messrs. Ciough, Grover,
Sawyer, and President J. ]. Hill, of the
Great Northern, having been elected
directors Of the Minnesota railway.
The railway officials admit that the road
In question is really as able to build into
California as any of the large Western
roads. Hills properties are recognized as
the great rival system to the Northern Pa
cifc, as the system occupies the same ter
xitory from st. Paul to Helena and Butte,
Mont It Is looked upon as an incomplete
system because il has no terminus on the
Pacific coast condition that will soon be
changed. for part of the loan 1t secured in
London was for the especial purpose of
building an extension from Great Falls,
Mont, via Spokane Falls to Seattle. Work
on this proposed extension is now going on
in Washington, under the name of the
rairhaven q Southern Railroad Company,
and 1t Is thought that within two years
the Great Northern will have trains run
ming between Seattle and ST. Paul.
But as to its building to San Francisco.
there Is nothing on that subject that can
Be said more than speculation. At the
present time the Great Northern has a
traffic arrangement with the Union and
Southern Pacific people, by which 1t has
entrance into this city, and 1t has an
agency here to look after 1t interests. By
this traffic agreement 1t enjoys the priv
lege OF through rates on the business it
handles to and from this city, dividing its
earnings therefrom. of course, with its con-
meeting lines into this city.

Possibilities of the Pneumatic Tube.
New York Tribune.

A great deal of surmise and comment is
taking place in engineering circles about
Postmaster Van Colts mark that the
only solution of the problem of the rapid
collection and distribution of mails lies in
the adoption of the compressed
air system. A correspondent of
the Tribune thinks that this system
could also be adopted to advantage for the
transmission of samples. packages, etc.,
which are subjected to many delays,
with the present express facilities. Some
officials seem to regard such articles
OF little Importance, whereas 1t is
often OF great moment to have samples
forwarded with all possible dispatch. The
possibilities OF compressed air are as vet
not fully realized in this country. The
pneumatic tube system of communication
is. OF course, in use in many of the down
town stores, in newspaper offices,
and to some extent between West
ern Union offices; bu there exists
great deal of ignorance about the use
of compressed air. even among engineering
experts. OF course the principle of the
system is well understood but. except for
mining operations and for sending articles
from one part of a building TO another, it
IS not In general commercial use in the
United States
