Four or five months ago one of the
hestlers employed at the stable of
Charles D. Nichols. Of Pawtucket, no.
ticed that one of the handsome pair Of
cream geldings acted little lame. A
superficial examination Of the shoulder
resulted in not finding any cause for
lameness. The next morning, when the
animal was taken out to be curried,
there was swelling back Of the shoul-
der and veterinary surgeon was con-
suited It appeased to him like rheu-
natisn, and with instructions to see if
it could not be sweated ont he left, say
ing he would call the next day. The
sweating process did not meet the de-
sired results, and thorough examine
ton revealed the fact that the fifth rib
was broken off very close to the back
bone.
The RIB was set, and since that time
the animal has done no work The result
Of this piece of bonesetting has been
watched with no small amount of inter-
est by all veterinary surgeons hereabout
who have become acquainted with the
peculiar circumstances of the case. How
the rib was broken is yet mystery, and
it probably will remain so. The result
of the operation was successful, and in a
short time the animal win again be all
right. Journal.

A New Canadian Vessel which May Load
At The Dalles for any Port.

Mr.. Linus Hubbard calls attention to
the new monitor steamers, described by
a Toronto paper, which will undoubtedly
be competitors of the whalebacks, in
carrying the inland products of our coun-
try to all seaport markets, wherever wa
ter transportation can be used from the
grain fields and mines to the ocean, and
will prove strong factors in increasing all
values to the producers. The following
is from the description referred to: ''The
John Doty engine company, of Toronto,
is building steel steamer of the monitor
type, to engage in the grain and coal trade
between Kingston and the upper lake
ports, for the Canadian steel barge COM
pany. The design is by w. E. Redway.
The boat differs somewhat from the car
go vessels building in Cleveland, Detroit
and Buffalo, and to which the same pc
culiarities have been applied. The ma
chinery is placed nearly amidships, with
a view to making the vessel trim better
when light. Instead of the cigar-shaped
bow of the whalebacks, this boat has a
ram bow, with forecastle deck forward
the top sides of which flare outward
slightly, something like the mold
of a plow. She is fitted with seven self
trimming matches, the openings being
raised about three feet above the top, o,
the rounded deck, and 30 arranged as to
be easily accessible for loading and un-
loading cargo. Her keel is 225 feet, full
Welland canal size, beam 3S feet, hold
20 feet. She will be fitted with fore and
aft compound engines, having cylinders
26 and SO inches in diameter, 40 inches
stroke, with two cylindrical boilers, l.
feet in diameter, IL feet long, and is ex
pected to have speed of 13 knots on 6
coal consumption of 1000 pounds pei
hour. She will register about $50 tons
and will have a carrying capacity of 2 ,20(
tons of dead cargo, wheat, coal etc., OF
draft of 15 feet of water" With the
cascade canal open such a vessel as tha
can take her cargo from The Dalles t.
any sea port in the world.

red calico dress and with bare legs
swung in a hammock and cheved gum.
There was a strong ebb tide, so when
the big tugs with their unusually long
tow lines had puffed up the East river
almost TO the foot Of Wall street and
had slowed up, the twenty-five canal
boats bounded back like balls at the end
of rubber cords, lifting the two lines
dripping from the water.
The line OF boats wrapped itself snug
" across the openings Of five ferry slips.
Five ferryboats wanted 70 get out and
could not. Five ferryboats-the Bay
Ridge, Staten Island, South Brooklyn,
Hamilton avenue and Atlantic street
wanted 10 get in and could not. They
Rll whistled hoarsely, and the passengers
crowded 10 the sides OF the boats to see
what was the matter.
Thousands Of people on the ten locked
in and locked out ferryboats saw the
red girl in the hammock, but she swung
and cheYed unconcernedly.
The river became dotted with tug
boats which wanted 10 get in other slips,
or which just pulled up along 10 see the
row. The biggest Of the big tugs at the
head Of the tow whistled for assistance,
and SIX tngs glided up alongside Of the
canalboats and made fast. Then no
body seemed to know just what was
wanted and deafening lot OF whistle
signals were sounded.
The captains Of the ten ferryboats be-
gan making impolite remarks TO the
captains Of the eight tugs; the deck
hands on the ferryboats became pur-
pie in the face with suppressed emo
tions: the deckhands Of the canalboats
drowned the screaming whistles with
strange oaths such as are used 10 exhort
towpath mules, and thousands Of de-
layed passengers were bathed in sympa-
thetic perspiratiOn, but that bare legged
girl swung on
The wharves became lined with idlers,
who gave advice. Policemen appeared
Other ferryboats, lighters, tenders, an
nexes, transports and more tugs came
up. They all whistled. The delayed
passengers lost their sympathy; the cap
tains ceased to swear for the want Of
breath; the edeckhands howled hoarsely,
and when everybody was on the verge
Of dissolution the canalbOats were pushed
up against the wharTes where they be-
longed.
The girl In the red calico gown swung
peacefully and chewed her gum IN placid
meditation.-NewY York Sun.

An Attractive Soap Box.

An ingenious housekeeper, says the
Nelc York World, has fashioned what she
calls the most useful thing in her sewing
room out of an ordinary soap box. This
is how she did it: First, she secured the
cover to the box with a couple Of strong
hinges Then she lined it throughout
with blue cheese-eloth. The outside she
covered with cretonne in blue with a
pattern ofapple blossoms running over
If. Tie completed whole she uses for
odds and ends of unsightly sewing, such
as stockings that need mendingand half
finished articles that must 5e kept at
hand, but that give acluttered appearance
to the sewing room when left lying about.
The cost Of manufacturing at hcme this
utility box is less than 81, while it il,
when in wo- king order, worth $50 to any
orderly housewife.
