BURNING THREE MONTHS.
What X. T. McGinnis says Of the Big
Boseman Tunnel Fire,

what X. T. McGinnis says Of the Bis
Bossman Tunnel Fire.
r. T. McGinnis, a capitalist Of Mont.
real. is in San Francisco. Hu recently
came over the Northern Pacific road
He says that the great fire in the Bozs-
man tunnel on that road is one Of the
most extraordinary events ever coming
within his know ledge. The tunnel ha.
been on fire for over three months. and
all efforts to queuch it have proved un
availing
He was told that the fire was first dis
covered early in the morning Of Sept
10 last. The immense amount Of wood
work in the tunnel furnished abundant
material for q big fire. At the end Of
three weeks the tunnel was q roaring
furnace. The fire started about the mid
die OF the tunnel. which is almost a
mile long. Within u few days the smoke.
travelling half a mile to either end Of
the tunnel. issued forth in dense volumes
day and night.
Mr.. Mctiinnis says that the immense
quantities OF water poured into the tun-
mel did not seem to do any good. The
tunDel was then sealed up in the hope
Of smothering the fire. A few days ago
the tunnel was opened. and the fire
seemed to be- burning As hot an ever.
Mr.. McGinnis says it has been sealed
up again for All indefinite period.
Meanwhile the company has built Q
switchback across the mountains. and
in that way has been able to run i,s
through freight and passenger trains. -

Children and Flowers.

Wise and loving parents want their
children to be educated to enjoy what
Is beautiful In art, in literature and In
nature. They may question the intiu,
ence Of luxurious living. may fear the
effect Of elegant surroundings as Undue
Ing Incidence OF mind and body or as
fostering a spirit OF discomfort, but
they cannot think that life of plain
living and high thinking" would ex-
clude pleasure In sunny sky or mod
est flower. The little garden where the
their own affords one Of the most limo
cent delights Of childhood. The plant
Ing. the wedding, the watching for the
first blossom, keep the whole family
interested, and Is the most thoroughly
natural and healthful pleasure child
can have. There Is In all this a sense
Of ownership which Is as unselfish as
Is usually the desire to give away the
first fruits as an offering to friendship
or charity.
The flower lover Is almost always the
flower giver, and nothing Is sweeter
than to see a dear child bring to the
fond mother the first blossom from my
own garden"
The best and surest way to shut out
evil thoughts Is to furnish themes tor
good and pure and beautiful thoughts;
a mind engaged in the attention TO
beautiful things in nature has no place
for that which Is hateful and ugly. and
we cannot overestimate the real value
of flower culture as part Of chlldren's
education.
have often wondered il the children
we see stealing flowers do this entirely
from mischief, or II some do not really
love the blossoms they cannot have at
home. II they had early been taught a
real appreciation Of flowers, they would
probably more highly regard their
neighbors' rights In the mattcr-Wom-
ankiud.
