placed on them, necks inside, they are
inclined sufficiently for the water to
drain out of them readily, and the dust
does not so readily enter them as 1t

tion.
The truck Is of such size that when
loaded it will readily enter the oven
and admit Of the door being closed. A
good way to mount such truck is to
place 1t on two wheels in the center,
which bears the entire weight. The
little wheels, one each at the front and
rear, do not quite touch the floor when
the truck Is level; these latter are also
fixed so as to turn round in a socket
like a table caster. Thus rugged, the
truck may be pushed around wherever
wanted to load or unload, and saves a
vast amount of handling and inevitable
breakage.--Or Judd Farmer.

the locomotive in 1862. All day the
conductor sat in the caboose. where
an operator was working, expecting or

Once, when the engineer went down
the track into the pine forest, he saw a
band of bushwhackers riding leisurely
through the wood in the direction OF
Shady Rill. These were not men OF the
north nor yet Of the south. They were
marauders, murderers. masquerading
as soldiers. and equally dangerous to
each army. The engineer told the con-
ductor what he had seen, and, taking
couple Of muskets and one OF the
brakemen, the captain put himself into
the wood tank and set out to hunt the
bandits. II was an odd way to go to
work, but the conductor considered 1t
better than remaining at the run to

burg, are awaiting anxiously the ac

ing for the striking and presentation to
these volunteers or their surviving heirs
of medals commemorating their patrl

several New Jersey regiments, whose
terms of service had expired, voun,
teered to remain in service until the
emergency had passed, and there arc
volunteers both from Maryland and
Pennsylvania who are entitled to the
medals If the resolution passes. The
claim Of these men upon the govern.

the adjutant general to provide appro

entitled to that. nor do they ask for It

their old age and to leave to their pos
