When go home in summer time,
Down to the slow OIL town,
Where father, mother, Nell and John
Still kiner hang eroun',

How farnin, is, and he
Father-he shakes his head an says,
"Tain't what it yuster be-"
An arter rovn' roun' the place
with John, down through the lots,
An out eroun' the cider mill,
An all them dear" OIL spots,
ask him how the fishin' is
Down in the pom an he,
lie says; Although it's purity good,
'Taint what 1t yuster be-"

To hear the >cripter read
An there meet the village boys
Erlong with Deacon Stead
Seems good" says l, " to come to church,
An hear salvation's free"
lie looks the young folks DER and signs;
"Tain't what it yuster be-"
They ask how long Pm goin' to stay
An what my Judgment is
About their comm inter town
To run a bizzerniz2
An then tell 'em word for word,
Just what wuz toll to me;
"Thet tho it's bettern It's to hum,

An out of all these diffrunt things
This thought comes hum to me;

spontaneous combustion. Hay or grain
stacked out of doors does not need ven
tilation, as rule; but those who make
use of barns ought to provide some
means for the free circulation of air.
The hay crop this year is short, hence
it is desirable that every means be en-
ployed to keep it in the best possible
condition. The price will undoubtedly
be high, and that not needed for home

A FEAT OF ENGINEERING.
The Raising of a Railroad Bridge With
out Interrupting Traffic.

The Raising of Railroad Bridge With
out Interrupting Traffic.
The raising of bridge in Switzer-
| land upon the line of the international
railway from Paris to Vienna has at
| tracted considerable attention from the
methods pursued. The occasion for the
change, says Locomotive Engineering,
was that the river crosscd-the Rhine
had lost in the sectional area of the
passage between the piers about 2j per
cent. in thirteen years, owing to the
deposition Of gravel and sediment,
while the highwater level had risen TO
such an extent as to pile floating de-.
bris six feet deep on the bridge floor in
times Of flood. The alterations in
Guided some reinforcements, besides
the raising of the whole structure
about five feet. The bridge was con-
tinuous over a center pier, and had two
main vertical posts there and four YER
teal end posts. To each of these posts
an inclined strut was attached in a
transverse vertical plane, presenting a
surface for the top of a hydraulic jack
w "'U 'PCAi' IAiSllU special uuDuTeu-
ton jacks were used, with an eight-inch
stroke and working pressure of four
hundred atmospheres, the piston being
nearly or in diameter. The fluid used
was mixture Of water, alcohol and
glycerine. Sixteen men operated the
jacks, their movements being svnchro-
nized by a code of signals, designed to
secure uniformity of action. The bridge
was raised a foot or two by short lifts,
followed by thoroughly blocking and
then building under one course Of cut
stone masonry. The total load was five
hundred and forty-siX tons,and the max
imum load on each jack was eighty
seven tons. The bridge was raised in
four stages during intervals between
trains. The longest interval between
trains was about two hours. The
weight of trains was rigidly restricted
during the time the bridge was under
going repairs, and their speed was linn
tied to three miles an hour in crossing
the bridge. In addition, a special
block system was organized upon that
section of the line upon which the
bridge is located, so that operations
could be suspended and the track re-
stored five minutes before the arrival
of train at the site.

DIR. Hartman, in commenting on

that auinine nearly always fails to

the medical profession that cures ma

complications. One reason why
chronic malaria is so little understood
and unsucCessfully treated is because
il is so unlike the acute form. In

there may he no regular time Tor the

CHINESE VEGETABLES.
Several Likely to Be Useful introduced in
This Country.

This Country.
In bulletin g., just issued by the
Cornell agricultural experiment sta
ton, Prof Bailey gives some account
of several garden vegetables which
have been introduced into this country
bv the Chinese. The most valuable
for American gardens, says Garden and
| Forest, is the so-callcd Chinese cab
bage, pe-tsai. 1t is plant with loose,
lettuce-like head of crisp leaves, which
NAV be used in all the ways in which
cabbage is served. 1t is an autumn
vegetable, and requires cool and
moist soil. The same cultivation and
attention arc demanded for the Chinese
mustard, which is an excellent plant
for greens. and produces an enormous
amount Of heritage. California pepper
grass. which was brought prominently
into notice by John Lewis Childs in
1890, seems to be a finely cut leaved
form of d mustard which has been long
known in old gardens in this country,
but has not been described either in
American botanies or gardening books.
1t is one of the best of all plants for
early spring greens. 1t is not known
how or when the plant first came to
this country, for, although it is culti-
waited in China and Japan, it does not
appear to have been independently in
troduced from either of these countries
in recent years. There are other mus
tard-like plants which have been intro

debate in Denison Saturday night a
man sitting in the audience made sew
eral very suspicious moves as though
he intended to shoot Bailey while he
was talking to the crowd. Bailey said
today that he had heard of the plot
soue time ago but paid no attention
to it. but that it existed. His friends
have several times asked him to cease
meeting Browder, 1t is said that
Browder made the statement that he

Petrifed Wood for Chinese Collins.

A curious source of wealth is reported
by the French consul at Mongtze, in
Upper Tonllin. 1t lies IN wood mines.
The wood was originally a pine forest,
which the earth swallowed in some
cataclysm. Some of the trees are a
yard in diameter. They lie ina slanting
direction and in sandy soils, which cover
them to a depth of about eight yards.
As the top branches are well preserved
it is thought the geological convulsion
which buried them cannot be of very
great antiquity. The wood furnished
by these timber mines is imperishable,
and the Chinese gladly buy it for cot
fins
