Thrilling Episode Of the Cyclone.

The st. Louis Republic says
While the terrible storm was at its
height a passenger train of the Chi
cago & Alton railway pulled onto
the bridge from the Missouri side,
on its way east. Engineer Scott
proceeded only q short. distance
when he realized his awful danger.
The wind struck the coaches, caus.
ing them to oareen. Thu train was
about half way across. Overhead
the poles were swapping and tum-
bling into the river, while large
stones were shifting loose from the
foundations and plunging into the
water.
Realizing that any moment his
train might be blown into the water
or else the bridge be blown away,
Scott put on a full head of steam
in the effort to make the east side of
the shore. The train had scarcely
proceeded 200 feet and was about the
same distance from the shore, when
the upper span Of the bridge vas
blown away. Tons of huge granite
blocks tumbled to the tracks where
the train loaded with passengers
had been but q moment before.
About the same instant the wind
struck the train, upsetting the cars
like playthings.. Luckily no one
was killed, but several were taken
out severely injured.

In the United States the plumsge Of
the loon is not considered Of any part,c.
ular utility, but up in the Arctic the
looms are Of different sort. At recent
reception in Brooklyn Mrs. Peary wore
cape made of $50 loon skins and Of all
the rich and valuable wraps carried by
other women in attendance. there was
none so admired, none so valuable. This
Is another article which no woman but
Mrs. Peary possesses. Mrs. Peary's dress
on the same occasion was of hair seal fur,
trimmed with the fur of the blue fox.
The train consisted entirely of the tails
and flippers OF seals.
The reindeer skins in the Peary collec.
ton are largely those of the animals shot
BY members of the party for food. While
such skins are not very rare, these are
particularly fine specimens, and are worth
q large sum. Quite number of the
skins of animals and birds wore Oh.
tanned by Mira. Peary from the Eskimos,
to whom she greatly endeared herself BY
the kindness she showed them. As tokens
Of their appreciation of her actions, aud
from desire to be of service to the first
white woman they had ever seen, they
made her numerous and valuable presents
Of skins. Other skins were obtained By
trading, for the Eskimo is nothing if not
trader. Wife and children are bartered
away just a. quickly a. anything else.
This was evidenced to Mr.. Peary. to
whom an Eskimo once offered his wife
and two children for a knife which in
this country would retail at c6 cents.

Water Pipes to Hold Convicts.

A new idea in jail construction has
recently been successfully tested in
Boston. In brief the scheme is to
construct the cells of hollow pipes and
fill them with water. When pipe is
severed the water escapes, and by q
system of registers in the Office of the
jail the fact is made known as we'll as
the particular cell where the pipes
have been attacked.
No attempt is made to have the
pipes particularly hard. Common
gas pipe is as good as any and will
answer every purpose. The water is
kept under high pressure SO that it
will be sure to give the alarm when
the pipe is severed.
Under the usual system of Jail con-
struction it is aimed to make the bars
SO hard that saws will not affect them I;
or at best, so hard that cutting would
be slow process. But convicts in
jails are as clever as men who con-
struct Jail cells, and methods have
been discovered for taking the tenn
per out of the hardest steel. Nitric
acid viii do it, and so will common
candle. If the fame of the latter u
kept for several days close against .
bar of chilled steel it will be made 90
soft that common steel saw will cut
it. Solid steel plates have been eaten
with acids and escape made possible.
The filling of hollow pipes with water
seems to be good idea.

Saved Both Flyr0d and Trout.

"Flyrod" Crosby tells, in Shooting
and Fishing, how ]. E. Blsdon Of
Portland, Me-, recovered pet fyrod
that went overheard from the little
steam launch of II. B. Kennedy Of
Brooklyn. N. Y. into fifty feet Of
Rsngely lake water. Mr.. Kennedy
booked 2 1-2-pound trout and Mr..
Bladon laid his rod down, With the
hook still in the water, to help land
the hooked fish. The rod suddenly
went over the aide of the boat into the
water. It looked like o gone rod for
a while, but the engineer of tho boat
tied strings together, with .
grapple on the end, and rowed round
the launch. He got hold Of some
thing on the second trip that was
lively and pulling hard. On getting
it to the surface the engineer found
that his grapplc had hooked into the
line of the lost rod, which had been
pulled overheard by . thres-pound
trout. The trout was saved along

How the Lemon Is Cured.

All lemon-curinS structures have
either double walls filed between with
sawdust-like icehouses-or heavy,
thick walls of cement, and are dark
within, with abundance of cool air
constantly circulating about the fruit.
There are ventilators in the floor and
through the roof, and nearly every
grower has some patent or device OF
his own for creating a draft of air in
the curing-houses. When the fruit
has been taken to the curing-houses,
it is gone over more carefully, and
four grades are selected, varying from
the smooth-skinned, uublemished and
perfect-sized fruit down to that which
has rough, thick skin and is blem-
ished. The lemons are washed and
soft brushes remove any weather
stains. Then, when they are dried,
they are placed with care in alright
and padded boxes, so as to "sweat"
for q few days. When that process is
over they are taken out, dried by
hand, and with careful handling are
placed on trays a yard wide, two
inches deep and having bottoms OF
stats SO as to permit easy circulation
Of air. These trays are slid into great
racks in the cellars of the curing
house, where Q constant temperature
of 60 degrees and darkness are main
tanned. Several packing houses in San
Diego County, California, will each
accommodate 25, 900 boxes at once.
In three or four weeks the fruit has
turned yellow, and is ready for pack
ing for market. But every other day
in the curing period the successful
grower goes over all his lemons, and
by the light of lamp sees that each
particular one is curing so that it re-
tains its citric oil, that its skin is soft
and pliable, and that il is hard and
firm, for such properties make lemons
the best keepers" until they get to
the consumer, weeks or months hence.
All fruit that shows the least signs OF
decay is cast aside at once. 1t is COM
paratively easy to grow and cure lem
ons that may be rushed to market -
soon a. the curing process is finished.
but only patience and experience cure
lemon so that it may be harvested
in January and kept Arst-class and
shipped to market in July or August

Treading Water With Aid Of q Kite.

Treading Water With Aid OF q Kite.
Richard NJ. Augustin of Winona,
Mimi, professor in the public
schools of that city, is stopping at
Willard's. ''Kite-fying is becoming
all the rage in Winona," said he.
"Willard Matthews, one Of the most
prominent young men OF the city,
made kite . few days before left
home, ten feet in height Matthews
went out to fly the kite while strong
wind WAS blowing. He tied the strong
twine about his waist in order to keep
the kite from getting away from him.
Along came an unusually hard gust OF
wind, and the kite carried him away
in the air in spite Of himself. He
thinks he rose 800 feet from the
ground before the kite began to come
down. Then he found that he was
over the lake. The kite came down
so gently, though, that he struck the
water with little force. At the same
time the wind freshened and he was
kept bobbing up and down upon the
surface OF the water, until help came
in q row boat from the shore. He
got good ducking, but otherwise
was not hurt. Before left home no
told me that it would be some time
before he tied q kite string around his
waist again. ."-Washington Times.

THE FACTORY, GIRL.
BY HELEN FORREST GRAv. Es.

There was no sort OF DOUBT out tina
Middlefeld had grown and rs thriv-
ing at an amazing rate since the fac
tories had been set mp.
In old times it was won't to be a
sleepy. stupid sort of place. with
wide blue river mea ndering
through its midst, a church an d three
or four stores now it was flourish
ing young village, with every probe-
bility of expanding into q cit,r.
And of all the oarding- houses that
had sprung up, as if by magic. within
its limits, chiefly for accom- nod ,tion
OF the factory girls, Mrs liipworth
claimed that hers was the genteelest.
"We have a waitress at table," said
Mrs. Nipworth, loftily. sci can nap
kins twice a week, and ice cream, at
dessert, of Sunday; and if any other
lady in Middlefield can say as much,
why should be pleased to hear it,
that's all !"
Claire Dayton had come to Middle
field to work in the factories. The
Daytons had been well-to-do people
once, but Mr.. Dayton had speculateI.
lost his fortune, and wilted out of the
world like q dandelion that has been
cut down by the mowers sickle.
Mrs. Dayton, who had been brought
up to do nothing bot sit in an easy
chair and attitudinizr, looked help
Iessly over the heads of her five chill
dren, and wondered what was to be
done.
Mamma" said Claire. "I'll tell
you. Will shall go into Mr.. Tenier's
Office at o dollar a week. 1t isn't
much, but it's better -than-lothing.
Bessie can learn the millinery business
at Madame Pompau's. She will at
least get her board there, and perhaps
acquire some useful ideas into the bar
gain. Kate and Fanny are too small
TO be of any use. They must remain
at home with you"
"And you?" said Mrs. Dayton, her
dim blue eyes opening wide in aston
ishment at Claire's unusual executive
ability.
81 will go into one of the Middle
Asld factories" said Claire, resolute-
ly.
"But what do you know of the kind
of work required to be done in facto-
ries?"
Il can learn, mamma"
"Oh, dear-oh, dear!" said Mrs.
Dayton. sI wish we were all dead
and buriedl"
'But while we are alive, said Claire,
with smile, eve must be doing some
thing to provide ourselves with food
and clothing"
So Claire Dayton came to Middle
field and engaged tho last vacant room
in Mrs Nipworth's establishment
Mr.. Carstairs, the young foreman in
the Franklin Factory, boarded there,
too, and when first he came in to tea,
and sat down opposite Claire Dayton,
he thought her the lovelicst creature
he ever lad seen in his life.
Giant she boautiful?" said he to his
sister, tall. frigid spinster, who pre-
sided over the Middlefeld branch of q
papsr-pattcrn establishment
"Humph |" said Miss Carstairs-'.i

"Rsall" repeated Hugh osrstsira
"what else should it be?"
Hiss Carstairs drew down the cor

''There's very little that 10 real in

''What?" said Hugh.

want of husband to take him" said
Miss Upiohn, who had oil bnt pro-
posed to Mr.. Carstairs.
But little cared Hugh and Claire
for all this effervescence of malice.
They were happy. Yet once or twice
Hugh found his glance wandering
through the lustrous auburn cables of
Clsire's long hair, and wishing it was
all real.
But the next day Claire brought
him q box.
"Will yon be so good as to take
this to the express Office for me,
Hugh?" said she. at is a parcel

'It's peculiar shaped box" said
Hugh.
"Oh." said Claire, 'it's switch!"
Hugh's face cleared up.
"Was it hanging out of your window
on Tuesday," he said breathlessly.
'How did you know?" said Claire.
''Yes, it was. I thought it smelled
rather musty, so I put it out to air."
''If didn't think il was yoursi"
''Mine!" cried Claire, q little dis
dainfully.
And she pulled out half q dozen
pins and down tumbled q glistening
cascade of auburn hair almost to her
feet.
"There!" !" said she. "Does that look
like switch?"
And Miss Lavinia, CHANGING to enter
just then, was an unwilling witness of
Hugh's triumph.
Beauty is only skin deep" eighed
she, ''and it is sinful to be vain!"
And so vanished the last suspicion
