the road and just wouldn't be managed.
She acted as if the devil were in her
cylinders. Whenever the engineer
pulled open the throttle she would
storm down the track like he1l-cat,
and it was like stopping a bucking
bronco to get her down to quiet pace.
AN emigrant train was running
ahead, and the engineer of the man
killer had orders to look out for it.
After run of an hour or so he came in
sight of the emigrant train as it rum
bled slowly up a heavy grade; then it
disappeared over the crest and this
devil of an engine went charging up
and over about minute behind. The
engineer expected to see the emigrants
away down the track. but they had slowed
up and were only a few hundred wards
ahead. Down went the engine below
ing like mad, and as soon as the emf
grants heard it, out they streamed as
fast as they could. But the old hell
cat could outrun the Flying Dutchman,
and there was no stopping her. She
rushed down, eating up the space be-
tween her and her prey. Eager faces
were looking out the windows of the
passenger-car ahead, and the engineer,
fireman and coaler, when they found
that they could not check the speed of
the engine, stood at the doors ready for
a leap.
They had to take it pretty soon.
Already the emigrants were leaping
from the steps and rolling down the
sides of the embankment. The engine
men waited till the last moment before
the crash, and leaped for life-but were
all killed.
Il am afraid to say how many lives
were lost as the engine tore into that
train packed with emigrants, but it
swelled the list of the men that the old
brute had killed.
No matter what road she is on-and
she has been on great many-she has
kept on killing the men who stood at
her throttle. We all feel little nervous
when we have TO run her, for when you
steam her up it seems TO put the devil
in her. Constitution.

Ideal Strawberries.

The ideal straw berry-where does it
flourish and what is it? asks 3. F.
Smith. In GAINESVILLE. o., the Sharp
less is the ideal berry. There it makes
more money for the grower than any
other sort. 1t also grows larger than
any other known variety. Four quarts
gathered there the last season cons
tanned respectively eleven, thirteen,
fourteen and sixteen berries. Up in
GAINESVILLE. Wis, the Jessie is the ideal.
There its size and product are exceed
ingly large, yielding two hundred
bushels per acre. Farther north in the
same State, at Green Bay, j. NJ. Smith,
noted berry-grower, says the old Will
sons Albany is his best and that he has
never found it's equal for large product
and profit The ideal in Southern
Illinois is now the Warfeld, which is
supposed to be Seeding of the Wilson
and is said to equal the Crescent in pro-
fer Kansas. Two friends in Missouri
wrote us recently that the best troopers
and money-makers last year were
Mount Vernon and Manchester. So it
is expected that our Missouri friends
will be booming the Mount Vernon and
Manchester as their ideal straw berries.
In New Jersey the ideal strawberry is
the latest novelty introduced by some
popular nurseryman, no matter how in
ferior the fruit may be. - Western

half Off passes off through the kidneys.
When in health and the skin clean, by
far the larger part finds an outlet
through the pores Of the skin and takes
along with it effete matter and offensive
odors which are thrown off through the
fine capillaries with the perspiration.
Proper action of the skin is as necessary,
says the Country Gentleman, for the
publication of the blood as is the
healthy action of the lungs When milk
has a cowy odor it is certain that the
skin is not working right, allowing the
impurities to be thrown back into the
blood, whence some of them find their
way into the milk, making it smell of
the COW. This suggests that to have
pure milk and sweet butter the skin
must be kept clean and free from scurf
which fills up the pores; frequent
grooming is the easiest way. Clean
cows do not give ''cowy' milk.

a VICIOUS LOCOMOTIVE.
MurJerous Engine That Has Killed

Tweuty-Seveu Men.
There is a particularly vicious engine
on the East Tennessee road
1t has killed twenLy-seven men, and
engineers and fremen feel supersti-
tious dread whenever they have to take
a run on the rails with this man-killer.
Il sometimes feel" said grizzled old
stoker few days ago. that there is a
murderous spirit in that engine. She
killed two men before she got on the
rails. While she was being steamed up
in the shops. a plug blew out, and two
mechanics were scalded to death. Then
it was brought South and sent out on
its first run. She mounted the rails and
p9unped down an embankment, killing
her engineer and fireman.
.'Soon afterward she was fixed up and
mt on the road again. She ran for a
while all right, until one night the en-
pineer that was driving her sawa head

Intellipent People,

When an intelligent person makes up his
mind to try Smiths Tonic Syrup, made by
DIR. John Bull, of Louisville, KY, he will
not be persuaded by his druggi,t to take
some other remedy. He will insist on his
druggist getting the medicine he wants,

Tonic Syrup and experienced its quick eff

SUGAR CANE,
Something About Its Culture-An Impor
tant Industry.

tant Industry.
In no department Of agriculture has
greater progress been made than in the
cultivation of sugar cane. Fifteen wears
ago, seventy-ive to one hundred pounds
of sugar from one ton of cane was con-
sidered a good yield. Now, says Farm
and Fireside, by improved methods of
manufacture. from 100 to $50 pounds are
made from ton of cane.
While the State of Louisiana has for
years been regarded as the great sugar
State of the Union, it by no means holds
a monopoly of this industry. Texas is
rapidly coming to the front as a sugar
State, and much of Florida and Missis-
sippi is adapted to the production of
sugar cane. and smaller areas of Geor-
gia, Ala lama, Arkansas and South
Carolina. In many portions of the
South below the thirty-fifth degree of
north latitude. from one to six acres of
sugar cane are planted by the small
farmers for making strip alone.
AS q plant of machinery for making
sugar involves large outlay of capital,
small growers can not invest in such
machinery. From a few acres of good
creek-bottom land, however, farmer
can make several hundred gallons OF
the most delicious strip by the same
sort of an outfit used for making sor-
ghum strip. This consists usually of a
little one-horSe vertical cane mill and
an inexpensive evaporation, made usually
of wood, with copper bottom. Such
an outfit can be made for not exceeding
seventy-fve dollars, and the farmer can
usually get all the help he needs for
harvesting and grinding his cane and
boiling his strip by paying each hand
about two gallons of strip for each days
work.
Cane grinding on these small farms is
a season of fun and frolic, usually, for
the children. To them it is what the
sugar making in the maple groves of
the North is to the youngsters. From
the evaporator the hot strip is run off
into tubs or long troughs to cool
About an inch of white, thick and very
sweet scum forms upon the surface, and
into this the boys and girls dip little
wooden paddles and eat until their
taste for sweet is satiate. 1t is very
wholesome, and 1 never knew any one
to suffer any bad effects from eating it.
Nor have | ever known any to become
sick from chewing good, ripe cane.

In one of the interior counties

In one OF the interior counties of
Maine a case was called that had long
been in litigation. The Chief Justice
who at that time was plain Judge
Peters - thought it impracticable to
keep the suit longer in court, and ad-
vised the parties to refer the matter
After due deliberation they assented,
agreeing to refer the case to three
honest men. With grave smile. in
perfect keeping with judicial dignity,
Judge Peters said that the case involved
certain legal points which would re-
quire one of the referees, at least, to
have some knowledge of law: therefore
he would suggest the propriety of their
selecting one lawyer and two honest
men.-Argonaut
