''You, of course, recognize the fact
that in this great city there are scores
of hard-working girls who are miles
away from their relations, and WHO
have always been too busy to cultivate
many friends. Well, when these girls
are about to marry young fellows who
are similarly circumstanced, the ques-
ton arises as to who shall give away
the bride.
II can answer that question for
them ct once, for I have connected
with my business an ex-major. in tie

and man, too, of unimpeachable
character. He is poor, but he dresses
swell, has beautiful white hair, and

If people could see their obituaries
while they are still living, it would en-
courage them so much that they might

NOVEL FARMING.
Strips of Land Alongside Railway Tracks
Utilized in tho South.

President r. Curzon Hoffman of the
Seaboard Air line, who returned re-
GENTLY from trip over the system, had
conference while away with agents
connected with the experimental
farms along the road. Much success
has followed this novel work, and the
move Of the Seaboard in this direction
has attracted general interest.
Mr.. Hoffman says that he was great
ly pleased at the results obtained and
that the work was proving to be one
Of great value to the agricultural Sec
tons. The right of way. along the
road is used for the experiments, and
there is regular force of men to go
over the line and look after their de-
velopment. Station agents supervise
the farms contiguous to their stations.
Grasses and food products Of all kinds
are tested, aud under the direction of
experts it is shown what articles can
be grown to the greatest advantage.
A number of new crops have been in
troduced, and the diyersifcation Of
products is noticeable.
Farmers are taking special interest
in the plan and large number of
clubs have been formed to promote.
the work. Seeds are being seo1red
from all parts Of the world and planted
on these farms. The results are closely
watched, and when product is found
to offer reasonable profit and can be
grown successfully seeds are distribute
ed among adjacent farmers.
Considerable success has.been OBJ
tanned with a species of corn which is
indigenous to Afghanistan, Western
Asia. This corn is of hardy nature
and ,endures drought without becom-
ingsinjured.s It's stalk has been found
to mike an excellent fodder for cattle,
and the seed ground into meal has
special value for food. A small guam
tity Of the seed was secured by the
Seaboard Air line and distributed
among the farmers on condition that
one half of the first crop of seed would
be returned to the railroad to be again
distributed. So successful was tho
growth that there were instances
where forty bushels were brought back
to the railroad from farmers who had
been given one bushel.
An attractive feature of the work is
the attention given to the cultivation
Of flowers, shrubbery and trees. Just
as the farmers have become interested
in the production of food products,
their wives and children have taken up
this department. They have also
formed clubs, and there is generous
rivalry among these organizations to
excel their neighbors. As a result. OF
such influences President Hoffman
said that there was notable Improve
ment in the appearance Of property in
the agricultural sections. Flower gar
dens were rapidly multiplying, and
with them have come we'll built fences.
This, according'to Mr.. Hoffman, was

CANDLES FROM PLANTS.
Vegetables Which Bear Wax and Tallow
Facts About .Camphor.

Vegetables Which Bear Wax and IallOW
Facts About Camphor.
Several very curious substances of
an infammable nature are produced
by plants, said a naturalist to Wash
ington Star writer. Many vegetable
species bear wax, which in the form
of minute scales on the surface of the
plum and other stone fruit makes
what is called the "bloom." It ex-
lists so abundantly in the fruit of a
Virginia mytlc that the latter has
received the name of candle berry. }"
These berries are collected in great
quantities for their wax and candles
made from them burn with remarka-
BILE brightness and freedom from
smoke, at the same time giving out
a pleasant fragrance. A wax-bearing
tree exists in South Africa, the ber-
ries of which yield substance which
is made into candles by the Dutch.
There are several species Of wax
palms in South America. One of
them has it's leaves covered with
scales of wax, while the trunk of an
other kind is covered with the wax as
with a varnish.
A substance very like tallow is
yielded by q tree in China, the seed
vessels of which are hard, brownish
husks. Each of them contains three
round white kernels, about the size and
shape of hazelnuts. These kernels
have small stones inside them, around
which the fatty matter lies. From
the pit Of the stone an oil for burn.
ing in lamps is pressed. Almost all
the candles used in the south OF
China are made from this vegetable
tallow. A tree abounds on the NAL
abar coast of India called the "piney"
which bears a pulpy fruit that yields
a great quantity of solid tallow ap-
preaching wax in t1rmness and su-
perior to animal fat for the manu-
facture Of candles.
Another remarkable inAammable
substance secreted by plants is cam
phor. 1t is chiefly obtained from a
species of laurel native to the East
Indies. In preparing it pieces Of the
roots are put into an iron vessel
tightly covered. When. the vessel is
heated the camphor rises in the form
Of vapor and b condensed on the
cover. That is the primitive method,
at all events, though I believe that
it is improved upon by newly invented
processes. In old trees the camphor
is sometimes found, when the trunks
are split open, in very pure state,
forming small eoncretions Il 81. tears.

Men Working in Showers of Molten Steel

Men Working in Showers of Molten Steel.
Modern Machinery of Chicago, in de-
scribing the work done in steel foun-
dry, tells Of remarkable instances of
nerve displayed by the men. When
the furnace is tapped there is torrent
of scoria that scatters over wide area,
descending in an umbrella-shaped
mass Of sparks that envelop the men
at the ladle.
Through the pyrotechnic display Of
the rain of fire and luminous l>tlec-
tions you can see workman shrug his
shoulders or wriggle a little. This is
the only sign he gives that a spark Of
molten steel has fallen inside his dan-
mel shirt. The manager said that in
the performance Of their work the men
would run into deluge Of flying sparks
so thick you would think no one could
go into it and come out alive; and that.
too, in summer when they were stripped
to the waist an' had not even q shirt
to protect them. In the shadow of the
furnace and ladle it would often regis
ter 1875 degrees, and the very life was
cooked out of the air. Some Of the
men are singed and SCARED more than
veterans of many battles heroes of
the workshop, they stand under fire
every day of their lives and expect nc
songs to be sung in their honor or
monuments to be erected to their men,
cries.
The manager related On Incredible
incident which he gave merely as a
sample of the nerve these men have.
One day the foreman of the casting
department had started q ladle Of steel
on it's journey among the moulds and
was seen to shake his foot several
times. He went on, however, and not
until all the steel was safe in the beds
of sand did he hobble to the wall,
where he took piece of steel as big
as his thumb out Of his shoe. It had
burned into his great toe joint and the
man was laid up for weeks.

AcRAvEYARD OF. HOPE.
President Hayes's Little Book-Secret.ry
Fosters Successful "Kick."

tO6Cer6 SuCCcSSIul 'A1Cks D..
Ex-Secretary Of the Treasury Charles
Foster was talking to me one day about
Rutherford B. Hayes. Foster repre-.
sented Hayes's district in Congress
when Hayes was president They
were political and personal friends Of
almost lifetime standing. Said Fos-
ter to me-:
II got plenty of patronage under
Hayes, to be sure, but for a long
time 1 never landed the men of whom
I was most particular and earnestly in
terested. I would go to the president
and lay the claims Of my man before
him. He would usually acquiesce in
everything that I said, because in
most cases he knew the applicants as
we'll as I did. Well, in every instance
where some devoted friend was con-
cerned, the president would'say: oh,
we'll, Charlie, we will fix that in a day
or so. Then he would reach down in
a drawer, pull out small book and a
short stub of a pencil and make note
Of the man and his wants. I would
then, for days to come, scan with
much interest the list of appointments
sent to the Senate, but none that had
found place in the presidents note
book were to be seen among them.
Still, I didn't complain much, for. I
knew that Hayes was doing the best
he could. Time went on, and finally
I called at the White House to insist
that certain friend of mine who was
then in Washington be instantly ap-
pointed as a consular agent abroad.
This gentleman had political claims on
me and also on the president. I
stated my case as briefly aspossible to
the president, who listened attentively.
When I had finished the president
said:
"Why, certainly, Charlie. Yes, yes,
to be sure, and then he dived for
that book Of his.
Gust as he was opening its leaves I
grabbed his arm and said: Hold on
there, general, I'll be switched if that
mans name goes in that jackass book!'
The president saw the humor of it and
got my constituent appointed then
and there. Chicago Times-Herald.
