FEELING IN AN ABSENT Arm.
Tho Remarkable Tale for Which Veteran
Cheerfully vouches.

Tho Remarkable Tale for Which . Veteran
Cheerfully vouches.
The doctors say that a man can feel
nothing in the arm that has been cut of,
but that is nonsense, says q one-armed
veteran in the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Any man who has lost an arm or leg
will tell you that the fingers and toes on
the missing members sometimes get as cold
as any other part of his anatomy. I knew
a man who was shot in the arm at Shiloh,
and after the battle was over he was taken
to farmhouse near by, where the doctors
performed the amputation. The man of the
house put the arm in candle box, nailed it
up and buried it in the orchard. The next
day the wounded soldier complained that
his arm troubled him. 1t was all doubled
up, he said, and the fingers felt cramped.
He grumbled for two or three days without
anybody paying much attention to him, for
the house was full of wounded men, and
the doctoes were too busy to spare the
time to look after an amputated arm, but
finally the man became SO troublesome
that they concluded to try little e1-
pertinent.
So, without telling him what they were
going to do, they went to the orchard, dug
up the arm, took it out OF the candle box,
laid it straight, placed the fingers in q
natural position, wrapped it in cotton
batting, put it in a longer box and buried
it again. The man declared he felt his arm
relieved at the very moment when they
were Strengthening the missing member,
and never complained again. They told
him nothing Of what they had done until
he was about to be discharged from the
hospital, and then gave him the story

round numbers this may be stated to be
from 25 to IS cents per yard for street ex-
cavation in common earth; from 35 to 45
cents per yard through shale rock; from 90
to 80 cents for work in solid rock.
One of the most potent factors in making
up a contractors estimate on street con-
struction, however, is the peculiar geo.
graphical features of Pittsburg. 'Dumps"
cannot be established frequently in the
lower part OF the city for this reason, and
when a contractor has to haul his wagon
loads of rock and dirt from one to two miles
before he find place for it, it adds to the
cost. One contractor tells me that for this
reason the cost of the street work Is one
third higher in the old city than elsewhere
But long haul or short haul, rocks, shale
or dirt, it pays Pittsburg to have plenty of
streets. Natural obstacles are surmounted
with skill and fearlessness, and were the
Supreme Court so readily mastered, our
streets would rank with the best in the
country. L. E. SToFIEL

found on the mountain division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad more striking specimen
of heavy rock work than right here. Look
ing up Boyd street you will see ahuge over
hanging rock, the top Of which is like a
massive table. From back of this sweeps q
canyon--it is Locust street-against the
back wall of which Boyd street comes to an
end. That opposite side Of Locust street is
a crag of rock, or solid wall, on top of which
are erected several houses

pearance of this sugar-loaf of blue rock It
is 30 feet high and overtops the neighbor-
ing telegraph poles Looking straight up
Locust street the depth of the cut through
the rock is readily comprehended. It
varied from go down to 80 feet
In all the hill districts of Pittsburg more
or less of this heavy work is encountered in
opening and improving streets. On Web
ster avenue, from kirkpatrick to Sumner
streets, probably 300 feet of shale rock was
excavated. There was considerable of it

toward the East End. Booth & Finn had
to construct their heaviest machinery for
that thoroughfarc and some others opened
within the past 10 and 15 years. Soho
street and Liberty avenue, as well as some
parts of Sylvan avenue, produced great
quantities Of rock. The continuation of
Barton street toward Forbes is another and
later bit of heavy work in street con-
struction.
WHAT THE WORK COSTS
It costs from two to three times as much
to hew a street through rock as it does to
dig it out from yielding earth. On account
of so much rock excavation here, q general
classification of prices has come to be recog-
nized, which, perhaps would not be found
in city of Chicago's level character. In

The Princess, though much more prosaic
than q Borgia, had already contrived to
make her sons little court nest of discon-
tentments. Her seventies, her srraigning
edicts, had bathed in gloom all the merry
abandon Of Clarimond's environment, and
by the time that May touched the valley
with its tender promises she had filled 1t
also with feuds and chickering's. 1t was her
wish that the hotels adjacent to the springs
should be closed permanently, but on this
point the King showed firm disfavor ''The
waters are wonderfully healing" he said:
''Let those who choose come and drink Of
them"
"Bah," said his mothen "My dear Clari-
mond, you cheaper your charming little
kingdom. And then those unspeakable
Americans"
"Unspeakabls indeed" said the King.
Gin occasional instances"
What do you mean?" asked the Princess,
with start.
ST mean the enchanting American lady
of whom caught glimpse last evening""
he replied. GIVE not yet found out her
name, but Eric has promised to get it for
me. Perhaps Lispenard might know her,
but as you are probably aware, he is now in
Munich"
The Princess gnawed her neither lip and
said nothing. Her sons civilities to Blanca
d Este had not been half as accentuated, OF
late, as she desired them to be.
The name of this Enchanting young
American lady," in whom the King found
himself unccmmonly interested, was Kath-
leen Kennaird. On the morrow Eric Thax-
ter made that discovery, and at once i'm
parted it to CIarimond. For some reason
Eric refrained from mentioning the former
relations between Kathleen and his absent
friend. All the time, however, he was telling
himself that it was very small world and
wondering if Alonzo would not agree with
him to this effect when he returned from
Munich.
81 should like greatly to know that girl, &"
the King said to Eric a day or two
later. ''Her face some how haunts me- Do
what you can about it, won't you?"
If Mrs Kennaird had heard those words
from royal lips it Is certain that her heart
would have given q very lofty leap indeed.

Tho Cape Spartel Lighthouse. Which IL

New York Sun.l
This lighthouse stands on the extreme
northwest coast of Africa. and its name is
the Cape Spartel Lighthouse. It is fine
and solid piece of stone work.
The Government of Morocco thought it
was very hardly treated when it was COM
PEELED to build this lighthouse. The other
Governments requested Morocco to build
the lighthouse as an aid to navigators, but
Morocco bluntly refused. Then diplomatic
pressure was brought to bear, and, with the
united voice of the commercial nations de-
manding that he adorn Cape Spartel with q
Lighthouse, the Sutton consented after con-
siderable grumbling. The contract was
given to a French firm and French en-
gineer superintended the building enter
prise.

TIE COOKERY OF GERMANY.
Especially That of the Middle Classes Not

Especially That of the Middle Glasses Not
to Be Compared With the Wine.
Writing of German dishes and drinks,
Mrs. M. E. Sherwood says: The curious bill
of fare of middle class German table is
something like this: They begin with a
pudding. They serve sweet preserved fruit
with the meat, generally stewed cherries.
They go on with dreadful dishes of cabbage,
preparations of milk, curdled, soured and
cheesed
DR.. Lieber, the learned philologist, was
eloquent on the subject of the coar seness of
the German appetite. He had hardly cor
rected his by visit to Italy, and he re-
marked, with his usual profundity, that it
was ''the more incomprehensible as nature
had given Germany the finest wines with
which to wash down the worst cookery
A favorite dish is potato pancakes. The
raw potatoes are scraped fine, mixed with
milk, and then treated like -four cakes,
served with apple or plum sauce.

The lighthouse is noteworthy also for the
remarkable manner in which it is sup
ported. Ten Governments contribute a
fixed sum annually to keep its light burn
ing. The agreement with Morocco was that
if the Sultan would build the lighthouse,
the other nations would attend to its main
tenance Ten of them, therefore, contribute
annually $500 apiece, and this money pays for
the services of the lighthouse keeper and his
assistants and the oil AID other material
needed. The foreign diplomatic agents at
Tangier form the Board of Light house Su-
pervisors, and the Moroccan Government
has nothing to do with the management

Chicago is built upon plain with only q
fall of IA feet from the old western line Of
the City of tie Lake, and 1t was about as
easy to lay out her regular, level streets
as it would be to pencil off q checker-board
on paper tablet
Boston engineers never had the heart or
backbone to attempt to straighten the
crooked streets Of that city, or widen its
narrow ones They said to the architects !:
"Here, we can't do anything with these
beastly alleys; you make the best of them. !"
So to-day late descriptions Of Boston read {:
'The city contains $50 miles Of streets. In
the older portions many are crooked and
narrow, but after the fire Of 1872 advantage
was taken of this feature to make architect
ural effects in the new buildings, which are
very pleasing, and would have been impos-
sible had the streets been more regularly
laid out"
IN BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA.
Baltimore shirked engineering problems
in the same manner, only it turned its
streets over to the landscape gardener in
stead of the architect, and such spots as
Eutaw Place, Mount Vernon Square, and
Druid Hill were the result-pretty enough,
it is true, but not comparison to what
Baltimore would look like if some of her
unsightly "humps" were graded off.
Philadelphia never had respect enough for
herself to even improve what easily made
thoroughfares she has, and her cobble-stone
pavements still attest that statement Phila-
delphia was built more than a century ago,
and thus she stands to-day. Her level streets

ST. LUKE's CHRISTIAN sPrRrL

Christian spirit. One of the good Christian
characteristics of st. Luke was his humility,
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-11-01

From Phillppi Luke went over to Cor1nth
with St. PauPs letter. He accompanied
his friend and master on his last journey to
Jerusalem. He was with him when he was
carried as prisoner to Rome. He shared
his first imprisonment; probably his second
also. He stood by Paul when all other men
forsook him. Paul wrote to Timothy that
all had let him, save only Luke. No doubt
he was with him at his death.
This was the brother whose praise is in
the gospel That sounds as if St Paul
meant that there were a great many good
things written about st. Luke in one of the
gospels. But that is a mistake. What st.
Paul intended was that this good brother
Luke was to be praised for his allegiance to
the gospel The best things that could be
said about Luke were about his faithfulness
as preacher, and his diligence as prac-
tiser, of the Christian gospel. The highest
praise of Luke was that he was an excellent
Christian. A man may write "Life of
Christ and Church history, as Luke did,
and not be Christian at all. Religious
writing and religious talking do not make
Christian. knowledge OF religious truth
does not constitute Christian. One might
know the whole Bible by heart without
being Christian.

Alonzo returned within the week, and

two shrewd selections in the way CT pur-
chase. But when October had waned and
the Princess had given every sign that she
did not choose to reseek her dear Italy,
Clarimond declared himself piteously hand
icapped. Blanca d. Este was forever
thrust at him, and the young lady's accom-
plishments' were made as drearilv ordinary
to him as the details of his toast and coffee
at breakfast time He could discover in
Blanca nothing that interested him. The
winter began and the court had become,
under the Princess naughty surveillance,
one sombre monotony. Winter in Saltravia
was never severe; snow fell and blasts blew,
but seldom with harsh result. Alonzo,
thoroughly fitted to his new position, ac-
quilted himself with skill and tact. He
made several new journeys, and each bore
its fine artistic fruit The King became al
most as devotedly his friend as he was the
friend of Eric When a fresh spring had
lavished its green beauty on the Saltrsvian
hills. Eric declared to his fellow lodger:
81 am positively jealous of you, my dear
Lonz. Jealousy, you know, iss the touch
stone of friendship. You leave me no re-
source with the King except that of slander.

in the ear of C}arimond.
AS if you could, Eric!" said Alonzo.
''Oh, I'm quite capable of 1t, 1 assure
you" said Eric. 'I'll get the Princess to
poison you. Still, no, on second thought, I
can't. She's entirely too strong a hater of
our transatlantic Republic If talked
with her about that Borgian Burgundy for
you she would be certain to snub me for
wishing to give you so Old World and aris-
