SEMI-LOCAL NEWS


J. T. Engleby sends the JOURNAL Il
late copy of the Roanoke (Na.) Times,
detailing the facts in connection with
the large increase of productive
capacity to be Immediately made by
the Roanoke machine company. To
the POO men now employed |, 100 will
be added making 1900 in all. Several
massive buildings will have to be
erected, which, with the additional
tools needed, will cost $l5O,000. The
Introduction Of 100 new men means
also a monthly pay roll of $l5O,OOO
and an addition of not less than 1000
to the population. This idea can be
well appreciated if the reader will
imagine the entire town of Homecoming
lifted up and dropped inside the
corporate limits of Roanoke. The
JOURNAL would have named Frostburg
instead of Homecoming, but this place
is too large to serve the purpose of
the illustration.

\ Lucky Mistake.

Last week the JOURNAL madea point
against one of our Flower courts" in
the matter Of imprisoning Ali Bahia"
on charge of "seIling goods with
license" 1t seems now that the paper
upon which Judge Hoffman acted was
a copy of the warrant, and not the
warrant itself. The copy was made
hastily, and thus it happened that the
latter syllable of the word, "without."
was omitted. The impression seems to
be. however. that no harm was done in
letting Mr.. Bahia out of jail.

War means not only public but private
calamity. Through its means nations
are convulsed and family relations sew
cred. During the Peninsular war one Of
the generals, observing the numerous
cavalry against which his brigade had
to contend, advised the officers in com
mand not to weaken their ranks by con-
Quoting prisoners to the rear, but after
disarming them to let them proceed of
their own accord. 1t was not uncom-
mon, therefore, to see groups of French
dragons riding quietly to the rear, look
ing for some one to take them in charge.
It happened, at one time, that GER
tain hussar, having taken a prisoner,
ordered him also to fall back, but the
man. having ridden some little distance,
as directed, suddenly applied spurs to
his horse and made detour to his
regiment. The hussar, observing this,
as quickly pursued, overlook him and
shot him dead.
Having secured his rein, he conveyed
him some little distance to the rear and
proceeded to take off the dead mans
valise. There, on overhauling its con-
tents, he found letter from his own
father, which proved that it was his
brother who had fallen by his hands.
Stupefed with horror, he sat motion
less and speechless for some minutes;
then big tears rolled down his cheeks,
and he exclaimed, The king has COM
manded, and God will forgive meP'
He put spurs to his horse and rushed
headlong into battle. That very day he
was killed near the spot where he had
innocently shot his brother.-Youth's

Ii Does Not Rain Away.

A Springfield gentleman who spent
summer in Europe lately. tells this
story of the Scotch climate. He had
been in the "land o cakes" for nearly
two weeks. on special trout fishing
tour. The trout were magnificent. but
the weather was awful; is rained every
day and all d;Iy long. He was not easily
discouraged and tished through rain
minus shine 1t was growing Just a
trifie monotonous by the end of the
second week. The natives kept proph-
eeying sunshine day after day, but he
had lost all faith in them One day
away up on the side of heathery hill
where he had followed trout stream
almost to its source, he came across
tiny, bare legged. killed highlander
fishing with pin and worm. Say
bub. said the American. does it rain
every day in this confounded country of
yours?" "Oh. na. sir" said the little fell
low with laugh; ma. indeed. some
times it snaws." Springfield Home

Work of the Revenue Cutter Service.

OF the $4,000 or ~. 900 vessels that are
every year boarded and thoroughly ex-
amined by officers Of the revenue cutter
service. many are found to have side
lights, anchor lights or fog signals Of
an efficiency far below what is deemed
safe by the government. These faults
are corrected, and thus one OF the great
est dangers of the sea. collision. is miti-
gated to great degree. The benefits of
the increased safety thus effected are
shared. net only by the seafaring man.
but also by that immense portion of the
travelling public that selects our coast
wise steamers as means of conveyance
from place to place. The constant pa
trolling of the coast enables the cutters
promptly to discover and report to the
proper authorities the absence or imper-
fection of buoys. spindles. lightships and
other aids to navigation. n.-Scribner's

Bees Carry Toilet Cases.

The tongue of the hive bee is a most
elaborate structure, admirably fitted for
helping to pump up nectar. The wax
producing organs of the bee are certain
glands on the underside of the abdomen
which are surmounted by thin plates. on
which the wax is deposited in flakes
like miniature fish scales. 1t is taken
from these plates by pair of shears or
cutters, admirably adapted for the pur-
pose and formed between two joints of
the hind legs.
1t is passed to the mouth. where it is
chewed and rendered plastic by the
jaws. The hind legs have many beau
tiful structures and notifications fitted
for gathering pollen and cleansing the
bee. while on the front legs there is q
regular comb and brush. admirably
adapted for cleaning the attenn@ or
feelers, which are very delicate and i'm
portant sense organs. Boston Tran

Arizona's Petrified Forest.

From the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
it is not hard to reach one of the great
est of natural curiosities-the petrifed
forest of Arizona Much the nearest
point is the little station of Billings, but
there are the scantiest accommodations
for the traveller Only mile south of
the track at that point one may see a
low. dark ridge, marked by single cot
tonwood tree.
Walking thither, over valley so alive
with jack rabbits that there is some ex-
cuse for the cowboy declaration that
you can walk clear across on their
backs" one soon reaches the northern
edge of the forest, which covers hun
dreds of square miles. Unless you are
more hardened to wonderful sights than
