DONKEY, DOG AND GOAT.
The Three Great Sights of Transconti-
mental journey.

The Three Great Sights of "A Transconti-
mental Journey.
"The three oldest things that saw
outside of New York." said a New
Yorker who had gone overland to Den
yer and returned by water by way of
Galveston, "were donkey, dog and
goat. The donkey was the motive
power of the single bobtail car that
goes UP the hill on South Broadway,
Denver. He was an amusing fellow.
After l made my first trip up that steep
hill | was astonished to see the con-
ductor unhitoh the donkey and put him
aboard the car. The dashboard was fit
ted up as a sort of stall, and he stood
there sideways when the car started
back down the hill under its own i'm
petus. The donkey's face took on de-
lighted expression as he found himself
in the role of passenger. He really
seemed to be GRIM g at the conductor
and the passengers.
81 saw the dog as was about to en-
ter the Taber Opera House in Denver.
The dog was called Bill, and he was
part of the outfit of cigar store in the
opera house building. He was black
spaniel. He was rugged up in Zouave
trousers and jacket trimmed with gold
braid, had tasseled fez on his head
and spectacles on his nose. The oldest
thing about him was that he sat on his
launches, with his paws in the air,
actually smoking cigarette like con-
firmed cigarette tiend. l found that he
had been trained to smoke the cigarettes
while the audience was going into the
theater as an advertisement OF his own
er's business. That was the first time
had ever seen dog smoking.
81 made the acquaintance of the goat
in tobacco factory in Key West. There
were 200 Cuban girls there, nearly all
of them pretty and all of them smokers
or chewers of tobacco. The goat was
their particular pet He was the biggest
goat ever saw, almost as large as a
Shetland pony, with big branching
horns, and perfectly tame. He playfully
butted the girls or pranced around
among them. His best trick, however,
was the larceny of their dinner baskets.
He used to go nosing around until he
found a particularly choice luncheon.
He would knock over the basket, seize
the lunch, and dash outdoors with It,.
No amount of chastisement had ever
broken him of the trick. Of course
saw wonderful scenery in the journey,
but the donkey and the dog and the
goat were by long odds the most inter
esting living things that encountered. "

No Danger of Time Hanging Heavy on
This Mans Hands.
"Talk about cnthusiasm-therc is fel.
low out my way who beats anything in
that line you ever saw" said Chief Des-
mond to "a few of his newspaper friends
81 won't tell you what his name il, but
will point him out to you any night you
come out TO see me.
"When he was u boy, no was crazy about
gathering postage stamps. He wrote, adj
vertised, hunted, and would have walked
across the continent for a rarity in his line.
Suddenly he switched to dogs and had ev-
erything from toy terrier TO Great Danes.
He had canine herd that made the neigh
borhood in which he lived positively dan
gerous The dog craze lasted until he fell
in love. He was just as enthusiastic about
the girl as he had been over the dogs and
postage stamps. The girl married him as
last TO have peace.
"When the honeymoon waned, he was
seized with the baseball craze. He never
missed game for u whole summer. He
yelled, jawed, bet, and was noisy bleach
er even in his sleep.
"Then came another turn of the crank,
and he was an enthusiastic fisherman. He
invented and suggested moro things to
lure fish into net or on TO hook than no
had fingers and toes, and he made them
all himself in his back yard when the fish
ing season was over.
"Now he is a singer, and every house
within n block of him is vacant. He has
no more music in him than "a blackhird,
but he is an enthusiast. He is good ten
ant, or the landlord would have made him
move long ago. His wife went down to
pay the rent the other day, and she asked
the agent to just have little more patience;
that she was sure before long he would
have switched on TO something else over
which he would go wild for awhile. ST.

A Patriotic Sacrifice.

The entrance of the man from rural re-

certain gloom about his bearing which the

Uses of Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool is coming into general
use as nonconducting covering for
pipes and the walls of cold storage rooms
and also as fireproofing material. 1t
is also valuable as deadener of sound
in the floors of buildings, but is some
what expensive for such purposes. Blast
furnace Stag is one material from which
mineral wool is made, and certain
sort of rock is another. The rock or Stag
is melted in large furnace. In liquid
sondition it runs very slowly out OF a
pipe, and as it makes its appearance 1t
meets steam jet at very high pres.
sure. This blows it into fragments, and
by its weight it settles in the various
compartments prepared to receive 1T.
Rock wool is preferred for covering pipes
and similar purposes, being entirely free
from sulphur, which makes it corrosive
TO metal when wet. New York Ledger.

Gets All the Gold.

A process Of extracting gold by which
every particle of the metal in the ore is
recovered is stated to be III successful
operation in West Australia 1t is called
the ore atomic process. Gold quartz is
crushed into small Jumps and is then
put into a closed chamber, subjected to
the heat of furnace, to the action of
water, and of hydrogen gas, This elm
mates sulphur and reduces all oxides to
the metallic state. After being heated
the material is suddenly cooled by jets
of water, an operation repeated several
times till the quartz crumbles to powder
at the touch of the finger. 1t is then
thrown into tank and the gold is sep
arated by washing.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

It's fieeting, changeful river,
Blent of calm and crusted wave,
Flowing in and out forever
Tween the cradle and the grave.
Changeful river, ever flowing,
Narrower and broader growing,
Flowing, flowing, ever going
Toward the still and solemn sea.
Forms Of light and shapes Of shadow
Float upon its troubled breast.
Through the moorland and the meadow,
On; the waters will not rest.
Here bud, by churl hand wrested.
Flung into the angry foam.
There flower with blooms invested
Plucked and ravished from its home.
Youth and age, and strength and weakness
Beauty, innocence and sin,
Pride and power, and love and meel1ness,
All in turn are gathered in.
Time and Death, two grand old warders,
Watch II rise and mark it flow.
Death, upon the still seas borders,
Bids the ice wind ON it blow.
Changeful river fond hearts parting,
In that still and solemn sea
Joined 10 heal the grief and smarting
Bud and flower with stem shall be.
For DER Time and Death an angel
Gods strong angel-wallSs the waves,
Claiming with his trump, Evangel,
All that pass within the grave.
Claiming for his Lord and Master,
BY the flaming cross he wears,
ALTHOUGH battered by disaster
All the sullen river bears.
Changeful river, ever flowing,
Narrower and broader growing,
Flowing, flowing, ever going
Toward the still and solemn sea.
