 The Baltimore Belt line, as it is termed, is branch of the Baltimore & Ohio system. It begins at Camden sta tion in South Baltimore, and extends in a northeasterly direction for 161s miles to Bayview Junction, in the sub urbs, where it joins the main road The time required to build it was four years and half, and it's cost was 7.500, ,000, or about s100 per foot. The cost was made necessary by the tunnel work and approaches. The former is in two sections, one of S35 feet, and one of 800 feet. The first section is constructed for most of its length un- der one of the main business streets, and is directly below several large buildings. It is built of brick and ce- ment, with approaches and entrances of heavy masonry, and it is wide enough for two tracks. This "hole in the ground required an excavation 26 feet high and 27 to 80 feet in width, making it one of the largest openings of it's kind in the world In addition to the tunnel are several open cuts rang ing from 20 to 40 feet below the sur face.

season she will oHtdistance all other summers by the number of her fads and their bizarre originality.
 I have never been able to discover whether this capricious goddess of the "sil1y season" evolved her own fads from her inner consciousness or had them invented to order. Where they originate is almost as great mystery as where she herself goes when the turning autumn leaves betoken the ending of summer.
 4 unique and decidedly novel orna- ment which is to be found in the jewel box of my ladys dressing table is the huge heart locket, which she hangs about her neck on a long silver chain that reaches far below her waist. It is nearly as big as a silver dollar and rather awkward ornament, as it swings about with every motion of the wearer, and it's safety is imperiled greatly in travelling about, getting into the car riages or horse cars, walking through crowded shop or on the promenade of swagger watering place.

know of a land where the streets are paved
With the things which we meant to achieve.

And the pleasures for which we grieve.

And many a coveted boon
are slowed away there in that land some

The land Of "Pretty Soon"
There are uncut jewels of possible fame
Lying about in the dust,
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust.
And, oh, this place, while it seems so near,
Is farther away than the moon
Though our purpose is fair, yet we never get
there
The land of ePretty Soon"
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks,
And the ships that have sailed for it's shining
strand
Bear skeletons on their decks.

And farther at night than at noon.
Oh, let us beware of that land down there

NapoleOn's Manners.

Napoleon was rude. His manners
were coarse, and when at table he ate
as fast as he could chew and swallow,
shoveling the food into his mouth with
his knife and using his fingers whenever
they came into more convenient en-
ployment. When talking to his officers,
he often, as a friendly favor, pulled
their whiskers or pinched their ears.
To women he was almost invariably Of
fensive, sometimes uttering language so
coarse as to bring flush of shame to
their cheeks and the tears to their eyes

BRUIN JONES.

Captain, who was the best soldier
you ever knew?"
This question was propounded recent
ly to Captain Bronaugh, the present
coal oil inspector Of st. Louis and man
who has seen enough of war to make
his Judgment in regard to soldiers worth
something.
well, hardly know was the re-
ply, "but I can tell you very easily who
was the best fighter ever knew
whats the difference?'
There's a great deal of difference.
To be a good Soldier one must have
courage, patience and endurance, disci
pline and great many other things. To
be a good fighter one only needs to have
plenty of the devil in him. I can't say
in regard to the best soldier, but the
best fighter I ever knew was undoubted-
ly man named Jones. have no idea
what his first name really was, but our
men all called him Bruin, for reasons
that I think you can guess when you
hear the story. He was member of my
company, but have no recollection Of
how or when he joined us. The first
day I remember ever to have seen him
was the 10Th of August, 1869, just the
day before the awful fight at Lone
Jack. :"
1t seems that on that date all the COM
panies in Lewis regiment were reOr-
ganized, and that the voting for officers
was all done by ballot When it came
to Bronaugh's company, every vote read
was cast for him for captain, except the
last one. To the surprise of every one,
the last vote was called out in stentorian
tones:
"The devil!'
At the announcement of this unex-
pected vote the men stared around al
each other in amazement.
"Say," remarked the wit of the com
pany at last, THAT fellow ought to have
better manners than vote for himself. >
In the laugh that followed all the
company joined, except Jones. He stood
stiff as ramrod, with a countenance
like that of Mephistopheles, until the
marked:
He voted for blamed sight better
man than Bronaugh, anyway"
think that the reader will concede
that when the captain compliments Mr..
Jones' fighting qualities it is not be-
cause of any special personal friendship
for him. He was man of about 80 years
of age, below medium height, slender,
clean shaven, dark complexion, and was
very much like hawk in the keennesf
Of his eyes, the curvature Of his nose,
the musicalness of his voice and the
general amiability Of his disposition.
The captain sums up the case by saying
''He was soured on the world and all
the rest Of mankind.
He was never known to agree with
anybody on any subject that could be
mentioned. The nearest he ever came to
it was one day in camp, when the sol,
diars happened to be discussing the char

In this manner his consent was won, and
the next day he applied to Captain Boles
for a transfer. The application should
have been sent to certain superior officers,
but Captain Bronaugh was unwilling for
this to be done, for fear he might lose
his trade.
"No use to bother Colonel Lewis about
a little thing like that" he said to
Boles 'Just let's wait till the thing
has about had time to go through the
rounds and then just swap the men our
selves.
Accordingly, some two weeks later,
Bruin was informed that his transfer
had been granted the two captains ex-
changed the names and the trade was
settled.
The next time the two captains met
was several months later in BOsler par
ish, Louisiana, and-shall [ confess it
at a dance. If this statement should
meet the eyes of any of his church Off
cials, they are respectfully requested not
to turn him out on account of it, The
offense was committed over 80 years
ago, and I do not really think he makes
practice Of dancing today. However,
he and Boles were both on the floor and
dancing, when the latter exclaimed:
"Say, Bronaugh, I've got crow to
pick with you.
"What is it?''
"You remember that fellow Jones
you traded off on me? What did you
mean by telling me he was good SOL
dier?'
II never said it, Boles. said he was
the best fighter ever saw"
ooh, that was it, was it? I believe
you were right about it too. He's whip
ped every private in my company al
ready, and they say he is going to begin
on the officers next. There no discount
on his being a fighter
The last time Captain Bronaugh ever
saw Bruin was in the hospital at Mem
phis. The first face he noticed when he
entered the ward was his, and it was
pale and still as death. Hoping to be of
some service to one Of his former men,
the captain stood at the bedside for
moment. Just then the closed eyes open
ed, the face lighted up with it's old ex-
preston, and in the half stifled accents
of death the old stream of profanity be-
gan to flow Bruin was Bruin to the
last.
Hundreds of old Confederate soldiers
in Missouri will recall poor Bruin with
a glimmer about the eyes that is half a
smile and half a tear. Nobody knows
what his first name really was; nobody
ever knew where he came from. 1t used
to be asserted that he was from Arkan-
sas, but perhaps this was merely from
humorous desire to lower the reputation
Of that state. No one knows who his
people were or what his past history
was. Let us hope, though, that he who
knows all about him saw something in
his early life that could account for the
hardness Of heart of this Timon of
Athens of the Confederacy and made
some allowance accordingly.-P. w.
