NATURAL GAS.
Struck Hear Warren on tho Farm
Of ]. Il. Hu6sard.

Natural gas was struck on the
farm of Mr.. J. H. Huggard,
about a mile west from this city, on
Friday afternoon last, while drilling
Tor water, at a depth Of 90 feet. The
gas escapes with considerable force,
and with q terrific roar that may be
heard for some distance around. The
gas was accidentally ignited from q
lantern in the evening on the same
day it was discovered, the fame ris-
ing sky-ward 80 feet or more, partly
burning the derrick, and endangering
the barn aud outdoor buildings of
Mr.. Huggard. Pebbles have been
thrown so It. in the air, and par
ticles Of mud are elected with great
force. The gas is easily ignited by a
match, and burns with a whitish light
slightly tinged with blue, and since
the first great outburst, the flames
has kept at an averag height OF S it.
More water is being emitted now
than at first, so the we'll will. it seems,

great opposingelements, fire and wa
ter, are here intimately blended, both
proceeding from the same aperture,
and presenting an exceedingly novel
and fantastic scene. The Huggard
premises have been besisged daily by
eager throngs Of visitors from the
city, and also from afar, viewing the
truly wonderful we'll.

not understand the engineef's strange con-

Late one night, a few months ago, a
farmer named Brunei was killed by the
Ottawa express while walking along the
track Of the Canada Atlantic railroad near
the village of st. Scholassique. The body
was horribly mangled and thrown great
distance, portions of it lodging in the
branches of some trees that overhung the
line. A few nights after passenger train
neared the spot, and the engineer noticed
a red light displayed from these branches.
''It was" he said, undoubtedly that OF a
signal lamp, and hung directly in the way

WRECK OF THE SPECTRAL TRAIN.
of the cars" He PIT on the air brakes,
shut off steam and brought things to a
standstill. The conductor and other train
hands walked ahead for half mile, but
found the line all right. Meanwhile the
red warning had disappeared. 1t shone
again the next night, and the following
day the whole crew asked to be transferred.
Subsequently other conductors and engi-
neers abandoned the run for the same
reason-the weird glare from "Brunet's
grove" as it was called, proving too much
for their peace of mind. At last the COM
pany purchased the land and cut down the
trees. This put out the light for good and
all.
A great sensation was created few years
ago by the appearance on the Green River
division of the Denver and Rio Grande
of phantom train. While taking a pas
senger train through Marshall Pass one
evening Engineer Nelson Edwards and
Fireman Charles Whitehead had hair rails
ing time with the "spook." They thought
they were being chased by wild train, and
sent their own cars flying along the noun
tain track at terrific speed. When on the
down grade they saw ahead of them red
light and repairers at work and stopped the
engine The phantom dashed by them, the
spectral engineer uttered wild yell, and
the whole outfit, after hitting a broken rail,
plunged over an embankment and disap-
peared. The repairers also vanished. On
the cab window, written in the frost, Ed
wards and Whitehead found the following
message:
Yeers ago frate train was rocked as you saw
now that you saw it, we will never make an
other run. The engine was not ounder control
and four sexshun men wor killed. If you ever
ian ON this road again You will be rocked.
They took the warning and quit.

Don't Give Dinners!

A young housekeeper says the fruit
dishes, compotes and bowls of her dinner
service are all so large that it takes great
quantity of fruit, much more than can pos
sibly be used at the small dinners she at
tempts, to make any show at all. A good
way to obviate this difficulty is to fill the
bowl with crumpled paper more than half
way up, and on this put thick layer of
moss. The fruit is then piled lightly upon
the moss, which makes natural and eff
fective setting.
To this and other young housekeepers.
however, the suggestion is made, Don't
give dinners, even small ones. unless your
establishment is on q generous SCALE" A
formal dinner even to a very few guests
is an important affair. Somebody has
said that it takes three generations Of
wealth to give perfect dinner, and when
one considers all the ramifcations of such
success the statement does not seem exag-
gerated Don't eschew hospitality-only
avoid dinners. Ask your friends for an
evening at whist, at music, or at plain
talk, If you and they are equal to it, anN be
sure to let them break some sort of bread
in your house, albeit it may not be dinner
bread.
A dish Of salad, with mock sandwiches,
sent around just at the turn of the even
ing, when cards or music-if it be either
are beginning to tire little. or talk-if it
be talk-shows signs of languishing, is all
that is needed by way of Intervention, fol-
lowed, as it will be, of course, with cup of
fresh and fragrant coffee. Deviled almonds
or walnuts served hot in folded napkin
with the coffee is pleasant relish after
the salad-Her Point Of View in New

Those who remember the old Dutch ov-
ems and big fficplaces remember great
deal Of hard work and discomfort; but they
remembergood cooking in certain lines, and
q great amount of need of it. School houses
were little better than barns; churches were
without any other fire than the fervid
theology preached. and in the house it
saf one could only keep ono side warm at .
time. Out Of the hugo brick ovens there
came turkeys, geese and chickens roasted
to a touch, and with such flavor IS no one
ever tastes or smells tn these days. A
whole crisp pig could be placed inside with
Christmas pies or Thanksgiving puddings
into the bargain.
As for roasted potatoes, our ranges do
not compare with them. But it is not for
us to look too much backward, for the
modern kitchen, all in all, is paradise of
comfort for the housewife compared with
the kitchens of our mothers. Those were
great square, low browed rooms, and one
third Of the floor was brick, SO that If
sparks few out from the open fire there
should be no confagration. Not seldom.
too, while cooking fats over such a fire, it
flashed into q blaze and sputtered and
scattered for yards about.
Kitchen reform has already been wonder
full A hard wood floor, with few cheap
rugs range that keeps half dozen dishes
warm while cooking another half dozen,
without discomfort to the cook; a separate
pantry for dishes, and most convenient
sideboards, opening into the diningroom,
are the outline arrangements. But no one
can easily enumerate the manner and
worth Of the inventions in apparatus for
aids to cooking. Our porcelain kettles,
our hot water tanks, and sinks zinc lined
head the list, which is long enough to stock
q hardware store.
Our list of foods has also immensely en-
larged. We eat less meat and more fruit.
Besides the currant, plum, cherry and ap-
pie, there was little fruit known. Now we
have learned to grow and eat thousands Of
bushels of berries and oranges, besides
ship loads of bananas. Our cereals include
a dozen choice preparations from oats, bar
ley, wheat. corn and rice. It is possible to
omit meat altogether from our diet and be
very far from vegetarians. Yet our vege-
table list is also enlarged. The tomato,
sweet potato, celery, egg plant and the
finer table squashes were not in the old
style kitchens.-Mary E. Spencer in st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

instantly killed his son-in-law, Russell
Thompson, and then committed suicide.
Cochrane was a native of New York, sixty
four years DID, painter by occupation, a
veteran of the Mexican war and a pioneer
resident of California. He possessed con-
siderable property, and was supposed to be
in his right mind until year ago, when he
attempted to kill himself with laudanum.
Russell Thompson was twenty-five years
old and street car conductor by occupa-
ton. He married daughter of his muir
derer in 1855. She died about ten months
ago, and Thompson after that made his
home with her people. He was asleep when
the fatal bullet, which entered back of his
ear, was fired. Cochrane shot himself in
the breast and head, and when found was
still alive, the blood pouring from the
wounds in a stream at each labored respira-
ton.

Small Farms q.

One of the mistakes of the times is the
popular belief that everything in bust
ness way must be big. The idea has
grown out of our haste to grow wealthy
and from superficial calculation. such As,
if one acre pays 500. 100 acres would
pay $4,000. Men seldom make such
money out of vary large orchards, and
while source of envy to small holders

getting rich out of horticultural pursuits
are those who do not attempt more than
they can look after personally. From
ten to eighty acres are the sized tracts
which pay the highest per cent of profit.
If they are properly conducted. The
idea that a living cannot be made out of
small place has retarded many from go
ing into business in which they might
now be making m independent living

adventures furnishes case in point.
Gaylor was regarded as one of the best
railway engineers in the United States.
He had never met with serious accident
or caused a loss of life. Thoroughly trained
to his calling, he recognized its perils as
well as its destinations and left liquor COM
pletely alone. Among his fellows he had
an enviable reputation for GOODNESS, COM
mon sense and resource in face of danger.
Some time ago Gaylor was employed on
the South Florida railroad. his run being
from Tampa to Sanford. Among his best
friends he numbered another engineer on
the same line named Charles Boyd. Boyd
WIS killed in collision while attempting
to Jump from his cab, and Gaylor succeed
ed him in charge of the engine which was
used for pulling fast freight trains. The
engine was known az "the hoodoo," be-
cause it had record Of six accidents and
three deaths. Gaylor had small fancy for
the assignment, but accepted it as matter
Of course and in the line of duty. For a
month "the hoodoo" acted like high

there comes from St. Paul the story of a

TO the notice of The Pioneer Press, and
mention OF the facts was made. A very
