Mines of FetrifactiOns.

North Colorado and parts of Wyoming
and Montana are genuine mines of pet
rifactions. There are petrifactions of
every kind, including many varieties Of
wood, ferns and plants, fish, toads,
snails, frogs, serpents, shellfsh and OBJ
jects which cannot be classified. The
deposits often occur in layers, as though
some great natural CONFUSION had de-
stroyed the animal life Of whole dis
trict at once. The scientists make very
few and tolerably weak attempts to ex-
plain the singular phenomenon, and the
fact is evident that they know no more
about the matter than do the men who
pick out the best specimens and sell
them to tourists. Chicago Herald.

What O First Glass Fare Means.

There are some people who imagine
that wealth entities them to privileges
not accorded to the general public and
exempts them from obligations and rules
that others are disposed to obey. An Incl
dent which occurred on one of our ocean
steamers conveys a wholesome lesson to
the purse proud contemners of the rights
of the majority. A family of unlimited
wealth had secured the best accommo-
dalton the steamer afforded.
The gentleman and his wife kept them
selves secluded most of the time, but the
children were allowed to run wild over
the steamer until they became such in
tolerable nuisances that the captain was
spoken to, and he gave the youngsters a
severe reprimand. This reused the in
dignation of the mother, who remarked
to the captain that as she paid first class
fare she thought she was entitled to
first class privileges.
Madam" said the captain, FIRST class
fare means first class conduct There
was no further protest. London Tit

Telling Trees by Electricity.

Trees are felled by electricity in the
great forests of Galicia. For cutting
comparatively soft woods the tool is in
the form of an auger, which is mounted
on carriage, and is moved to and fro
and revolved at the same time by small
electric motor. AS the cut deepens,
wedges are inserted to prevent the rift
from closing, and when the tree is near
ly cut through an ak or handsaw is used
to finish the work. In this Way trees are
felled very rapidly and with but little
labor.-London Tit-Bits.

Relieving Snowbound Passengers.

-
II was snowbound in Michigan few
years ago, between Coopersville and
Nunica," said q travelling salesman. "The
snow was four feet deep on a level and
still falling. The passengers had eaten
up everything the train boy had, includ-
ing even mixed candies, and children
were crying for food. "A grocery sales
man offered his samples Of tea and cof-
fee, and these were boiled at the engine
Then I started, accompanied by another
passenger, to go to farmhouse to get
some bread and butter. We waded
through the snow, and by the time we
got there were nearly frozen, but we
could detect the odor of cooking victuals
and felt that our mission would be sue
cessful.
''In answer to our knock a woman
came to the door and fatty refused to
let us have bread at any price. Five
large loaves, just baked, were on g Ia
BILE and a jar Of butter near it. I told
my friend to go to the front door and ar
que with them while I stole the food.
This programme was carried out, and I
started back through the snow with the
bread and butter. had not gone far be-
fore I could hear the farmer behind
swearing at me. Then came a race
through the snow. Twice I fell down
and soaked the bread in the snow, but
hung On to it and reached the train at
the same time the farmer did There a
hundred passengers were ready to help
me, and We had one square meal. had
offered 81 loaf for the bread and start
ed to make the promise good, but the
passengers insisted that the man should
getnothing except the empty butter jar. -

CreStS.

''You will not find one woman in a
of heraldry," said a fashionable stationer.
"Ladies insist on having crests embossed
on their writing paper, even when tell
them that they are permitted by the
usages of centuries to use only the arms.
A handsome woman came in the store
one day and said, Mr.. B., wish you
would puta crest and arms on my paper.
knew it would be useless to argue
about the crest, and so I asked her,
Have you any crest with you? oh, no!
haven't any, she answered. You can
make nice one, can't you? I learned
that her husband was grain dealer, SO
for g. crest designed a sheaf Of wheat
For the arms 1 designed some hawk
heads on a shield, and she was delighted.' .
Women who are interested in these
things should observe the regulations set
down for the use of spinsters, married
women and widows. A specified frame
for the arms should be used by each.
The spinster is required to put her fam
lily arms into a diamond frame, with
very simple adornment. When a WON
an marries, the arms Of her family must
be put on the same shield with the arms
of her husband. The shield is impaled,
the wife's arms occupying position
and the husbands the other. If she be-
comes a widow, the frame for her arms
again assumes the form of a diamond,
symbolizing her unmarried state, while
her arms and the arms of her deceased
husband remain impaled as formerly

In Duplicate.

Gus de Smith came down Harlem av-
enue with his chin cut in several places,
so that it looked as if a drunken barber
had been practicing on it.

AGONY.
The music ceased. the curtain rose.

The music ceased, the curtain rose,
did not heed the play,
But gaAed upon her lovely face
She sat two seats away.
Her cheeks like tinted apple bloom.
Her teeth like cleaning pearls,
Her eyes as blue as summer skies,
A wealth of golden curls.
And as gazed upon her face
There came q look of pain.
Like cloudy shadow DER the land
1t passed, then came again.
I saw the teardrops in her eyes,
The rose tint fade away,
And that fair cheek grow deathly pale
In speechless agony.
She turned and touched her escorts arm,
Then slowly went away.
My heart beat fast with sympathy.
I did not heed the play.
He soon returned and took his seat.
l gazed in great surprise.
He read the question l would ask
Flash from my eager eyes.
And as the music died away
His lips this answer bore:
MY sisters feet are number five.
Her shoes are number FOUR

HOW AN AK is MADE.
The Numerous Processes It Undergoes In
tha Course of III annfaefure..

The Numerous Processes It Undergoes In
tho Course of Manufactures.
On entering the main workshop the
first step in the operation which is seen
is the formation of the ak head without
the blade. The glowing fat iron bars
are Withdrawn from the furnace and are
taken to a powerful and somewhat COM
plicated machine, which performs upon
them four distinct operations, shaping
the metal to form the upper and lower
part of the ak, then the eye, and finally
doubling the piece over SO that the whole
can be welded together. Next the iron
is put in a powerful natural gas furnace
and heated to white heat. Taken out,
it goes under tilt hammer and is weld
ed in second This done, one blow
from the ''drop," and the poll of the ak
is completed and firmly welded. Two
crews of men are doing this class Of
work, and each crew can make 1 500 axes
per day.
When the ak leaves the drop, there is
some superfuous metal still adhering to
the edges and forming what is technic-
ally known as a fin To get rid of
the fin the ak is again heated in a fur
mace and then taken in hand by saw
yer, who trims the ends and edges. The
operator has glass in front Of him to
protect his eyes from the sparks which
fly off by the hundreds as the hot metal
is pressed against the rapidly revolving
saw. The iron part of the ak is now
complete. The steel for the blade, after
being heated, is cut by machinery and
shaped. It is then ready for the welding
department. A groove is cut into the
edge of the iron, the steel of the blade
inserted, and the whole firmly welded
by machine hammers.
Next comes the operation of temper
ing. The steel portion of the ak is heat
ed by being inserted in pots of molten
lead, the blade only being immersed. It
is then cooled by dipping in water and
goes to the hands of the inspector. An az
is subject to rigid tests before it is pro-
nounced perfect. The steel must be of
the required temper, the weight of all
axes of the same size must be uniform,
all must be ground alike and in various
other ways conform to an established
standard. The inspector who tests the
quality of the steel does so by hammering
the blade and striking the edge to ascer-
tain whether it be too brittle or not An
ak that breaks during the tests is thrown
aside to be made over
Before the material of the ak is in the
proper shape it has been heated five
times, including the tempering process,
and the ak, when completed, has passed
through the hands of about 40 workmen,
each Of whom has done something
toward perfecting it. After passing in
spection, the axes go to the grinding de-
partrnent, and from that to the polish
ers, who finish them upon emery wheels.

Florida style of Eating Oranges.

There are many ways of eating or.
anges, but the Floridian has probably
the most common sense way of disposing
Of the fruit. He uses sharp knife and
pares the orange much the same as one
would peel an apple, taking care not to
cut through the white rind that protects
the pulp. Then holding the orange at
the poles and cutting through the cen
ter the seed pods are removed. The rest
is easy. As q colored boy in jackson
