enough trouble to endure in our jour.

AS we were .oafing about the fire at

On n occasion he was 20 60 20 a re-

the bosom and laid the shirt on the top
of all the others in the drawer. Then
she laid out his dress suit and other
belongings and was on the point of
going away when the weeks wash
came from the laundry.
This she opened and disposed Of, all
bat one shirt, which had collapsed, as

men. The bosom bad parted company
with the body and it was hopeless.
This she tossed onto the bed, intend

serenely in pursuit of her engagement.
When her husband returned from the
reception that night she was Mortified

Stations Fight

One Of the most terrible battles that
probably ever took place between
ranch stations occurred near the home
ranch Of the Little Missouri Horse farm
in the spring of 1888, al the time when
the several punches or droves of horses
were being driven in from the ranges
for an account Of stoch and for the
branding Of the young colts. 1t hap
pened by the merest chance that three
droves came in together, with the staL
lions leading. Naturally the thres
Joined, and at once arose the question
of leadership. This could only be
settled by a battle, and before the
herders could begin to form any plan
for separating them, the three stations
were engaged in ~fiercest battle.
As described by those who saw it,
this battle was so savage and 50 bloody
that it seemed certain that at least one
Of the cOmbatants must be killed. 1t
lasted a little more than twenty min
ates. and when the smoke of battle"
drifted away and the fight was done, a
big gray Percheron called Napoleon
was seen To be the victor, and he it
was that, with uplifted head and proud
~ curved tail, led the company Of
mares and colts TO the pastures, while
the w defeated ones marched to
gether, like whipped ours, deiectedly

In this instance, although the fight
was an unusually desperate one, and
all three horses we're badly cut and

1t was at Gettysburg and Chicka-

at their best and did their best. Never
were they-either before or after those
memorable engagements-so strong. So
well differed, so fierce, so determined
to win, so resolved not to yield. They
were then, we repeat, at their best

under veteran officers, Injured TO war,
both armies confident of victory, and
pretty nearly, taking all things to-

can read the story of those great bat
ties without being proud of his country
and his race, for never was there more
resolute and obstinate and gallant
fighting done, nor ever were severe
losses unshrinkingly borne.
Nor can it be truly said of either of
these battles that the beaten army did
not fight as hard and as long as its

Profitable Sea Dram.

Turning dreams to commercial &c

sessed by a Maine sea captain, a native

night preceding his arrival in any port
he invariably has a vivid dream. In
his vision he ICES the entire layout of
the harbor, the number Of vessels in
por, and is given to understand Just
where his location is to be. In case
the harbor is a strange one he becomes
acquainted in this mysterious way with
all the approaches, and when bis YES

A Trick with = Candle and a Boz
Put in the top of a light shallow
pasteboard box two holes, each about
an inch in diameter, and place over
each an argand lamp chimney. In n
hole stand a candle cut 70 such a length
that it will project about half an inch
above the box. Light the candle and
then hold burning touch paper over
the other lamp chimney. The smoke,
instead Of rising, will 60 down one
chimney. and after it has filed the
box will rise through the other. The
reason is that the burning candle makes
a draught up its chimney, and, if the
box is air tight, to supply the place Of
what is going out air must come down
the other chimney.
Touch paper, by the way, is made
by dipping unglazed paper in a solu-
ton of saltpeter. When dry it burns
with a smoke, but not with flame.
Another experiment is 70 hold the hand
tightly over the chimney where the
draught il downward. The candle in
the other chimney will begin to bum
feebly and smoke, and will go out il
there are no cracks in the box for air 70

it down its own chimney is that the up

America. IneIhaustible Coal supply.

To get an idea of the probably mex
haustible coal supply, compare Amer
lea with England. Some years ago an
investigation was made 10 ascertain
how long the supply Of coal would last
in that country. The drain upon the
mines there is not alone for the manu-
featuring in Sheffield, Manchester, Lon
don and the other cities, but English
coal is exported to far away countries.
In 1874 the output Of the mines Of
the world was 26O, 900, 900 tons, of
which England furnished l25. 900, 900
tons. or about one-half lnvestiga-
