ingly varied and entertaining list of con.

boys and girls really know what an ex.
cellent and absorbing story Mrs. Mary

ice?" While the young people readit with
growing interest and imbibe lessons in
honor, rnanliness and devotion to duty
from its stirring Incidents, not one of the
elder generation but can live again the
dramatic scenes of 1881 which it por-
trays, when homes were rent and anx-
lous hearts were over-strained. The
story appeals to all. So, too, though in
different way, does the Arabian story
of pluck and endurance, "The Lance OF
Kanana," thrill its readers month by
month. The camel race over the desert
described in the February number is
full of force and fire that stirs the blood
of every reader. Among the important
contributions to the February WIDE
AWAKE is the last story, 1.-THE Sign of
the Prophet JONAH" ever written by
Eliot Mccormick, one of New York's
promising newspaper men, untimely
cut off by death scarcely six months
since. Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse

SITTER FOR ASHES.
Every Farm House Should Have One OF
More of Them.


Scattered over the ground around
many farm homes we see coal enough
to run the stoves for u month. 1t was
just dumped on the ground because it
was too much trouble to pick it out of
the ashes. We shouldn't care to do
such picking with bare fingers, but it
is well enough to let sieve do the
work. The sitter shown is made by a
friend in Wisconsin, who says about
it, "The apparatus consists of an ordi-
nary coal sieve with narrow strip
nailed across the center, as shown, and
let into the top of box having a
hinged cover in the manner indicated
in the drawing, The coal ashes may
be poured into the sieve, and then the
cover may he shut down, and the sift-
ing done without the necessity of sup
porting the sieve and the ashes by the
hands, and without the annoyance

The New York. Commercial Bulletin,
under the head of "Southern Freight
Rates Advanced" publishes an article
which we give below. 1t is not only of
very great Interest to those persons who
own the stock or bonds Of Southern
roads, but is equally so to the farmers
and merchants who pay the freight to
furnish the earnings for these roads.
The Bulletin says:
"NotIce was given on Saturday of an
advance on Feb. 1 in Southern freight
rates. Proportional rates now effective
60 east Mississippi River points will be
withdrawn, and on the same date the
following rates will be substituted from

AZ; fourth, IS; fifth. 80; and sixth, 25.
The rates are now 40, 40, % and for the
fourth, fifth and sixth classes, ..
"The advance is the result of the con-
solidation of the Southern Railway &

Chill agrees to withdraw the offensive

error of Judgment. Chill also with
draws its request for the withdrawal of
United States Minister Egan.
In addition to this, the Chilian govern

tion-Cabinet Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Excitement
over the Chilian situation has not been
much abated by the cable from San.i-
ago, stating that a reply had been sent
to our government and that the condi-
tions of our demands would be met. So
great has been the tension upon the
nerves of people here for more than q
month, that it will require an absolute
backdown on the part of Chill to secure
perfect quiet again.
In short, the populace here, both local
and transient, Is for war, and it will re-
quire great deal of peaceful and re-
gretful expressions from Chill, backed
up by recorded evidence of sincerity, to
give assurance. However, a feeling is
taking root in the staid circles of this
CITY. both in and out of official life, that
Chih will speedily descend from her i'm
pudent attitude and make amends.
The suggestion of Senator Sherman as
to the real reason why war move on
the part of Chill is almost impossible, is
regarded in official circles as the truth
behind the reported intentions of that
government, Senator Sherman said the
presidents message would destroy the
financial credit of Chill, unless she took
nnmeoIale sISPS S9NdIu OOaApnah'e .
with our demands, and that it would not
be possible for her to raise sufficient
money to carry on much of a war, as
her securities could not be marketed at
any price now. 1t Is believed that if
Chill could prepare for war she would
precipitate it.
Another thing has been learned in Of
fetal circles here which points unmis-
takably toward an enforced apology up
on the part of that government. Chill

WEAPONS oF WAR.
Torpedo Shells Made of Domestic Manu-


facture.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, Jan. 26.-Last Fri
day the Bethlehem Iron company
achieved another triumph. 1t was of an
unique and marvellous engine of war,
at the works of E. w, Bliss & Com
pany, Brooklyn, that the success of the
new manufacture was demonstrated.
There was tested the first flask of do
mestic manufacture for 100 whitehead
torpedoes for the navy. The flask was
fifty feet long by seventeen and three
quarter inches in diameter, with a shell
whose thickness is thirty-four one-hun-
dredths of II inch. 1t was made by the
Bethlehem -on company, and proving
successful in the test required, is ac-
cepted.
The test consists in filing the flask
with oil and subjecting it to a pressu e
of 2,025 pounds to square inch. The
steel must Withstand this pressure with
out leakage, and the cylinder must e.
actly recover its original dimension when
the pressure is removed. The cylinder
must not, when the pressure is IL 20
pounds to the square inch, extend by
more than one-fiftieth of an inch. The
Rethlehem's flask successfully met all
these requirements. 1t is quite probable
that contract for the manufacture of
the one hundred TASKS will be given out
in few days by the navy department,
and there is scarcely any doubt about
the Bethlehem Iron company receiN-
inp if
