On the Road from MiIlersville.

Starry sky above us bending,
Great round rosy moon ascending,
Clouds like little baby deeces
Scattered by the winds caprices,
Beeches glistening, fife-flies dancing,
Willows trembling, shadows glancing,
Sense of sight doth have its fill,
On the road from Millersville.
Cracking frogs and chirping crickets,
Katydids with season tickets,
Waves against the bridge piers tapping,
Mated corn leaves softly tapping,
Myriad sounds of insect rapture.
Sounds the ear can scarcely capture,
Sense OF hearing hath it's al,
On the road from Millersvile.
Mint and clover essence mingle,
Pollen-greeted nostrils Jingle;
Smell Of orchard, breath Of dairy,
Puff of thistle caught unwary,
Scents elusive. subtle, fieeting.
Sight and sound and perfume meeting
Soul and sense are set a-thrill
On the road from Millersville.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. S.-News has
been received here that the private car of
Daniel Lamont vice president of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, has been badly
wrecked on the Seattle & International road
between Getshell and Arlington, about
fifty miles from this city. Fortunately, no
one was hurt. While the passenger train
to which the car was attached was standing
still on a trestle, sixty feet high, it was run
into from the rear by a freight train. The
engineer of the freight train had reversed
steam, and the force of the collision was
not sufficient to throw the passenger train
off the track. Mr.. Lamont and the occu-
pants of the car took refuge in the forward
cars.

Stokers Work Is Healthy.

1t is a fact that the stokers on board

are steady in their habits, suffer
scarcely at all from their arduous la
bors. A stoker works four hours at a
stretch, and during that time the tenn
perature of his surroundings varies
from 100 to 100 degrees. One stoker
usually has four furnaces to attend to,
and while feeding one furnace a man
has to be extremely careful or his arm
will be burnt by the furnace behind
him AS a rule. man is occupied for
about three minutes at each furnace,
and directly he had finished he rushes
to the air-pipe and awaits till his turn
cones round again. 1t has been found
that the work is least injurious to the
men who are regularly employed at it.
