fame to exalted efforts at rapturous and soul stir1ring emotion.
 During the uecitatiom5 the eNpres- sion upom Fields face would have furnished a charming study for Ho- garth-'disgust, pity, sarcasm and re- gret were prominently developed. Taking an old envelope out of his pocket he wrote something, replaced it and then said: Let's go!' We arose from our seats and stanlted for the door, when the president arrested our footsteps by saying: "Gentiemen, I hope you will not go so soon. We have other good things upon our pro gramme; and, besides, we would like you to join us at luncheon which the young ladies have prepared in the basement. I ann also requested to ask MT Field if he will not Heeite some of the beautiful poems he has written. ''
 In an embarrassed and hesitating manner Field said that he had been delightfully."- entertained, and, would be glad to remain, but a previous en- glagement demanded his attentio that as for reading some of his own productions he had never attempted anything of that sort in public; yet, he confessed tha. while listening to the beautiful parodies upon 'fMa-y and her little lamb" theme that had for centuries awoke the tender mem ories of childhood. 'fhe was emotion ally impressed, and the fire of inspir- at.on entered his own coul and he wrote upon that same subject which we all understand so we'll and about which we give expression to such beautiful poetic thought" Drawing out the envelope he continued: T had intended when I wrote these lines to have carried them with me down in silence to the grave. Yet as you have asked me to read some hing I mony to the virtues of Mary 'snl h ar lamb," and ask that they may be plac- ed among the archives with the other accunnulations of the evening"" He then read from his envelope:
 Mary had little lamb,
 And Mary al-d her kid
 Have made me wish that I were dead
 That is what they did.
 I wish healthy cyclone Would sweep across ths land And blow from off this mundane
 sphere
 Mary and hlr lamb.
 An explosion of laughter followed this reci,ation, and we took our de parture, but for several blocks on the way home he kept up his denunc:a icu of pastoral parodies.

MONSTER LOCOMOTIVES.
Five of the Largest in the World Be
 ing Built in Pennsylvania.

Five of what are to be the largest heaviest and most powerful freight locomotives in the world are being constructed for the Pennsylvania Railroad company in Altoona, Pa. The first one is to be competed this month. They are to be used to haul ore from the lakes to PittSburg. They will not differ materially in style from the freight locomotives used at present on the Pennsylvania railroad, but the hauling capacity is to be dou- ble.
 Each of the steel boilers of the new locomotives is to be sevsuty-two inches in diameter and twemty-four feet long. The steel in the barrel of the boilers is to be 1916 of an inch thick. The sheets are to be fastened with one-inch r,ivets Each boiler is to contain SIS flues to generate 21O pounds of steam and to weigh 42.15O pounds. An idea of the size of the boiler may be obtained from a com parisom of one with an ordinary boi- Ter. The latter has steel p,ates of from three-eighths to one-half inch in thickness, weighs from 1S,OOO to 22,- 900 pounds, contains from 1S0 to 200 f1ues and generates 1S0 pounds of steam.
 The new locomotives are to be built on what is known as the consolidated pattern, four wheels connected, with pony truck. Each is to weigh when completed ninety-six tens. The wheel centers are cast of steel and the full diameter of the wheel is ffty-six inches. The cylinders are to have a twenty-two inch by twenty-e:ght inch stroke and the guides are to be of steel, two bar. The cistern in the tender is constructed of 5-16th of an inch steel and is to have a capacity of 4,50O gallons.
 New cars are to be made for the service. Bach is to be equipped with a.rbrakes and every appliance to in- sure safety. A train crew will not be nesded. The engineer will manage the train. In that respect the train is similar to passenger train, which is controlled almost entirely by the driver of the locom otive
 When the big locomotives are h service, with their specially prepared complement of heavy tonnage cars the rate on ores from the lakes, it is expected, is to be cut down as low as 25 cents a ton. The present rate is | now 10 cents a ton.

THE PASTOAL PARODY.
How the Inflidtions of an Amateur
 Evening Inspired Eugene Field

IA Chicago newspaper man relates the following characteristic incident Field:
 While he occasionally indulged in puns, he despsed the hlabitual punster, and often made him the victim of sarcastic denunciation. He despised poets who could not write poetry; he had no use for preachers who could not preach, and abhorred an orator who was not eloquent, were some ex- pressions of his dislike. I remember a certain evening in St. Louis he and I were invited to a literary entertain ment that was to occur directly op- posite our boarding house, in a prominent church that boasted of hay ing among it's membership some very bright and promising young ladies and gentlemen. We accepted the in vitation, thinking we might catch on to something that would be of in- terest to the Journals readers next day. The meeting was in working or der when we arrived. A young lady was just finishing the reading of g parody on Mary Had a Little Lamb. She was followed by a young gen. tleman who also parodied 'fMary Had a Little Lamb" He gave place tc another young lady who also read . parody upon the same subject, and 6 second young man had the conclud ing inspiration upon thIs beautiful pastoral theme, making four parodies successfully rendered. Tt seemed thai Mary and her little lamb'' had fur. ndshed all the aspirants for poetic
