Fire at Cherry Hill.

Lightning struck the barn on the farm

the storm on Tuesday night, and tn
structure with most of it's contents was
burned to the ground. The fire occurred
shortly before nine o'clock and quickly
many hurried to the scene. The flames
spread rapidly but the horses and cattle
were liberated and few of the contents
were saved. A reaper carriage, wagon,
farming implements, harness, wheat,
oats and other provender, beside other
articles were consumed. The loss is
roughly estimated at $4,000 with $3.50
insurance in the Farmers and Mech
anic's Fire Association, of Cecil county.
The barn is situated immed iately in the
town and it YVES feared that the sur
rounding buildings would be fired, but
fortunately the rain prevented the sparks
from flying to any extent, and by siren.
uous efforts the flames were confined.
The carriage house only feet distant
was saved. This is the first fire that bias
occurred in the town for many years.

A fatal accident occurred at the pulp

the stock pump. The shalt of the pulleys
operating the various belts in this room
runs horizontally three feet above the

was at the extreme end close to the shaft
bearing at which point the usual shaft
set screw projected. The supposition is
that while Reed was engaged shifting
the belt with a stick his clothing was

A Unique Industry.

One of the unique industries of Key
West, Fla, is the catching and curing
of sponges, and there is not anything
about this queer animal that one of the
gray haired old colored sponge fishers
cannot tell. The sponges grow in beds
on the coral reefs from nucleus very
much as coral does, and the complete
growth occupies but seven or eight
months. The sponge fishing fleet of a
score or more of small sloops go out over
the beds and drag for the sponges with
an iron claw at the end of line. Then
from the brown mass OF oozy, sandy
sponges the different kinds are sorted
out and laid on racks in the sun to dry.
Then the sand and coral and shell are
worked out and the ''trimmer" with a
pair of shears trims the edges and irreg-
ularities off, after which the sponges are
ready for shipment, unless they are to
be bleached for bath sponges, for which
purpose only comparatively small num-
ber are used, for it is to the various arts
and trades that most of them go. The
coarsest grade is the rough brown "grass
SPONGE" then comes close ibred,
tough variety called s'glove sponge, ="
but the fine soft variety that make man
in a bath tub smile is the ''lamh's wool, l"
and it is this kind that is bleached to
snowy whiteness and sent to the drug
gist trade. Washington Star.

Singing to the Herd.

Some cowboys and cattlemen laugh
ingly assured me that they only sing on
watch to keep themselves awake; others
say they sing, talk loud or make noise
just to let the cattle know they are ap-
preaching SO as not to frighten and
stampede them, but the greater number
hold-as I myself had read and been led
to believe-that the sound of the human
voice, singing, talking or calling out
cheerfully, quiets and reassures the ami
mails. However it may bo, they all sing
and talk or whistle to them, and among
my most vivid and picturc-like recollec-
tions is one of certain night when an
aching head and heavy heart held me
awake, aud, slipping from the house in
the little hours, went aimlessly across
the level plain towards where big herd
was camped.
When within three or four hundred
yards of the bunch could see, under
the white Texas moonlight, the dark
mass of cattle and occasionally q sill
houette, between me and the sky, Of one
of the guards on his pony, and in the in.
tense loneliness of the plains night the
singing of the one boyish voice holding
his untaught, unconscious way through
"a Fountain Filled With Blood" and
the whistling of his companion on lit
tie harmonicum, "Home, Sweet Home,"
as they came round past me in turn,
were as lovely and touching sounds as
ever heard. Kansas City Times.

The labor troubles in Lancashire,
England, which ended by compromise,
take rank as the greatest struggle be-
tween capital and labor which the world
has seen. The campaign lasted 6wenty
weeks, involved directly and indirectly
125, 900 employees, and cost In loss of
wages alone SO, 900, 900. Each side was
equally willing at the outset to engage
in test of strength, and at last thew
were just as glad to call truce with
the honors even. Great sacrifices have
been endured, with no result, save that
both parties to the conflict have had all
desire for fight taken out of them, and
the advantages of mutual compromise
are for the time being fully conceded.
The operatives have in the terms of
peace conceded just shade more than
the masters, but there has been really no
victory for either side. The plans agreed
upon for settling future disputes seem
to be the best ever devised thus far.
They assure the necessary stability in the
cotton market by limiting all future
changes to five per cent. at intervals of
not less than one year.

Green Goggles for Cows.

Tho practical value of green goggles
for cows to prevent snow blindness Is
we'll understood ON the American and
Russian plains. The work of opticians
for other animals is moro recent do
velopment. We now have short sighted
horses and dogs which wear spectacles
and appreciate highly the advantage Of
thus being enabled to recognize friends
and surroundings which were formerly
indistinct. The owner of near sighted
horse which has spectacles fastened on
the headstall says the animal objects
even to gong out to pasture without his
glasses. The horse was little startled
when they were first put on, but clearly
manifested his delight when he fully re.
allied their benefit. If turned out to
Craze without them he will stay near the
