SHE RUNS AN ENGINE.
Miss De Barr's Trade is an Unusual
One For Woman.

There are few petticoat engineers in
the country. Miss Annie De Barr, of
Chicago, is probably the only one. She
is tall, slender woman, with light ewes
and delicate hands, but she can run a
stationary engine for keeps. Four years
ago she began her rare occupation in the
White Swan Laundry, on Clark street
She was then twenty one years old. Here
she shovelled coal in the furnace and
blew the squawking whistle with all the
gusto OF man in greasy jumper. Few
persons knew that the engine in the
basement was being manned by a won.
an, for the employees had been sworn to
secrecy, and Miss De Barr did not talk
about her work, for she is a modest
creature and opposed to notoriety.
Two years ago Miss De Barr took hold
OF the big twenty -four horsepower en-
ginein machine shop on Lincoln avenue
and Wells street. The machine never
had a better master. Day after day it
huns and misses as the pretty engineer,
In her bright print dress, rakes the fire
IN the furnace and fills the oil cups.
Miss De Barr takes care of all the
machinery attached to the engine. She
mends the belts, climbs around the shaft.
ing like girl in cherry tree in cherry
time, and polishes the mountings until
they shine like her own pretty ewes.
Most people would believe that a woman
in skirts and the like would get grimy
and hard-tisted at this kind of work, but
Miss De Barr does not. She is as neat
and tidy when she leaves her work as
the petted maiden she passes on the way
to her home. She runs that twenty four
horse power engine like sewing
machine.
Miss DE Barr was born in st. Louis of
French father and German mother.
But in looks and manner she is thorough
ly American. Her father is dead and
with her earnings she supports her wild
owed mother in st. Louis. Speaking
about her occupation, Miss De Barr said :
l asked Mr.. I. Ball, the proprietor of
the machine-shop, for the engineership,
and he at first thought it very strange.
He felt doubtful about giving me trial,
although told him had ample expert,
ence in this line. However, persuaded
him to let me try it, and the trial was SO
satisfactory to him that he soon gave me
full charge of the engine-room. l don't
think he has regretted it. There has not
been the slightest accident in the engine
room since l have run it, and have
attended to all the repairing and mend
ing that was to be done now and then
in these two years. In fact, attend to
every sort of work that is necessary about
an engine. | start the fire every day.
shut down and rake the fires out every
evening, and l do my own firing alto
gether. p Chicago Herald.

Thrift in the sunday-school.

There is Sunday school in Dexter
that trains its pupils not only in godli-
ness but in business as well. A few
weeks ago each pupil received cents
to invest for the benefit of the Sunday
school. Last Sunday these loans were
returned with interest and reports were
given, of which the following are ex-
amples. Bought one yard print for 5
cents; made nine holders which sold for
5 cents each. Returned As cents"
''Hired boy for cents to pick berries
sold berries for 30 cents" Bought
cloth for three children's bibs; sold for
80 cents" The largest interest brought
back by any one loan was gained by a
shrewd small boy, who, by borrowing,
buying, and selling, handed over 80 after
paying his bills. One reported: .Lord,
behold here is Thy cents which have
kept laid up in napkin. Yours respect
fully, Wicked and Slothful Servant y
But this was an exception. AS whole
the return was unexpectedly large and a
handsome sum was added to the
treasury.-[Dexte Me. )Gazstte.

A Trained Tarantula.

A half breed Mexican and Indian blood
recently attracted much attention at
Winslow, Arizona, by the performance
of an educated tarantula he owns, says
the Philadelphia Times. He carries a
big, formidable looking insect in a large
wooden box slung around his neck,
which, when exhibiting his pet, he
places on the ground as sort of stage.
At the command of its master, the taran-
tula mounted small ladder, rung bell
and performed on miniature trapeze.
Then, to the humping of tambourine in
the hands of the boy, it proceeded slowly
aoout, as if waltzing, and when it had
finished, saluted the crowd by lifting one
leg three times
After its performance was over II
crawled to its masters shoulders, where
it sat, occasionally running around his
neck or down his bosom. The boy says
he tanned the spider when it was young,
first by feeding it every day until it got
accustomed to him, then gradually
taught it the tricks it knows. He de-
clares it is much more intelligent than
any dog, and very tractable, though
uncompromising in its enmity to anyone
but himself. 1t is as large as silver
dollar when curled up. though its legs
are two or three inches long.
The body is an ugly dark brown, COW
cred with short, coarse black hair, which
also covers the limbs, but is very sparse
and bristly. The eyes are small and
CLEAN like diamond points, while the
mouth is furnished with slender over
tapping fangs. The power of spring in
these creatures is said to be something
incredible, leap Of ten feet being nc
tremendous exertion. The boy, who
owns the only one which has ever made
friends with any other living creature, il
from the Mogollon Mountains.

Scollop Smoking Houses.

Whom a fishing sloop's hold is filed
with soollops the Captain at once sets
sail for tho s'shucking" house, either in
New Suffolk, Msttituck, Sag Harbor,
Southold, Peconic, Greenport or some
other bay side town on Long leland.
"Shucking" is the vernacular for taking
the shells off the fish. A shucking
house il a rough board building, heated
by log fire. Along one side extends a
shelf on which the unopened scollops arc
piled.
The shuckers are young men and
women, and the work afords ample
opportunities for Irritation, az each young
man can work at the elbow of hisvweet-
heart. Facing the shelf flied with
scofops, each ssshucker," armed with q
stout bladed knife, dexterously opens
the scollops, propping the edible tidbits
in pan and brushing the shells into
traps at their sides.
The shuckers work with amazing
rapidity. One turn of the wrist com
pletes the operation. There are from
seventeen to twenty-one hundred scol-
iop IN a gallon, and an expert
"shucker' will score gallon IN
en- hour and half. They ar,
paid sixteen cents gallon for open
tag the scollops, which are at ono,
packed. in stone jars or new tubs ani
shipped to market by train. Scollop
are big source of income to the peopl,

One of the steel saws at the Waning

piece of gum carriage metal four inches
in width by five inches in thickness in
twenty minutes. The saw is of English
make.
Two chemists are experimenting at
Freeport, Penn, with the view of pro.
ducing carbon points for electric lighting
from natural gas. It is said that by
burning the gas in specially prepared
furnace pure carbon is obtained, but as
yet at cost too great for practical pur-
poses.
A twenty-two.inch iron pipe which
was recently exhumed after being buried
in the earth for fourteen years, at Lassen,
CAL, came out as good as new. Tbs
pipe was coated with asphaltum when it
was put into the ground. This may be
taken as good test of the preservative
virtues of asphaltum.
An old sea captain'sl argument is re-
called at the completion of the race be-
tween the steamships City of New York
and Teutonic. His was the view that
the City of New York would win the
eastward passage and the Teutonic the
westward, because the vessels are evenly
matched, and one is better adapted to
English and the other to American
Goals.

parts of the body, wheels, poles and the
rest being finished in the best possible
manner. While the durability and
powers of resistance possessed by this
material are fully as great as those of
wood the weight is, of course, much
less.
A new machine has been designed for
the excavation of sewer trenches. The
material In this system of excavation is
handled but once, and the operation is
continuous, line of loaded buckets
passing out and line of empty ones; re
turning to be filed at the same time.
Ordinary excavating machines require
the empty buckets to be returned over
the same line over which the full ones
are sent out, and it is claimed that for
this reason the new machine can work
more rapidly and cheapy.
The six-inch ordnance rife which suo-
ceeded in demolishing the British arnor
plate at Annapolis is capable Of hurlings
projeetiie through 104 inches of wrought
iron placed 1000 yards from the muzzlc
of the gun. The power of the eight
inch gun is 16 $40 inches, same dis
lance, and of the ten-inch gun twenty
one inches, same distance. The twelve
inch projectile will pierce twenty-eight
inchesat distance of 5000 yards. The
thirteen-ineh guns, which will be pro-
vided for the battle ships, are capable of
demohshing the heaviest armor.
