The river is too far off. The long closed

A torch is lit within. 1t is barely half

a rush is made to his gate. His men

few houses between, or the big sparks
fall there. A touch of nature such as this
common danger, and there is no foreign-

a compound is e~veTybody's brother now.
Happy thought! Carry the engines on
to the city wall! They cannot get near
otherwise. And so, they are carried up
from inside the gate. The men behind

all boys between the ages of IL II 10
are benefited to the extent OF Sl0 through
the will of an eccentric gentleman VINO
died 1870 years ago. To obtain this re-
ward. the boys, who must be natives or

parish churchyard, lay their hands upon
the marble monument erected TO the
memory of William Granville, the
founder of the custom, and repeat from
memory the Lords prayer, the apoStles

aloud the fifteenth chapter of st. u

candidates walked solemnly INTO the

on the gravestone and commenced to re-

This fairly well, but the commandments
as well as the creed proved a sore Stun

village school room, where they struggled

handed two golden sovereigns each,

It Will Mean a Great Saving
In Expenses. y
THE Rail
]. Pierrepont Morgan is at the Head
of the Scheme--SOme Fig
ureS on Production.

New York, March 9.-The Times says:
Growing faith in the anthracite coal deal
brought about much commission house
buying of the group. The return of j.
P. Morgan, and reports that Mr.. Morgan
has exercised his option on the Packer
estate of Lehigh Valley stock and posi-
tive assertions of we'll informed that the
anthracite coal deal is no longer a mere
project, but is an assured fact We're the
bull points on the shares. The exercise
of Mr.. Morgan's option on Lehigh Valley
gives him complete control of the prop
erty. 1t is the intimatlon in high quar-
ters that this is a long step III the plan
Tor the re-establishment of very close
relationships between the Reading, the
Jersey Central and the Lehlgh Valley
a plan which Mr.. Morgan has been cred
tied with nursing for a. long time past.
1t is believed that this means that the
Jersey Central will become a Morgan
property and will hereafter be controlled
by Mr.. Morgan, just as Reading AND Lee
high Valley are now controlled.
Wall street has recently done much
figuring and calculating IN the benefits
which the several coal carrying compan-
les are to secure through the new an
thracite deal. 1t is estimated by coal
trade authorities that hrOuSh the gen.
eral agreement about 40 cents a ton viii
be saved in the production and marketing
OF coal. Upon the basis of a so, 900, 600 ton
output annually, this means a $2O.OUo, 600
annual saving for the companies. This
will, of course. beneIit them IN the ratio
of their percentage of the output. Read
ing produces about q per cent, Which
means a saving for that company of
more thar 81, 500, 000 annually; Lehigh
Valleys percentage is, roughly speaking,
Is, $50, 600, and Jersey Central's, II, 800, 900.
As an instance of what this economy
means to the coal companies, the latter
road is a good illustration. Jersey Cen
trail will on this basis, save in the produc-
ton and marketing of it's coal some 81
800, COO per annuWn Last year the COM
pany earned for it's tocks 81, 032, 900. These
two items added-earnings at the rate of
last year and economies at the rate OF
40 cents per tOn-show net earnings ap-
pliCable to dividends on Jersey Central
stock of s., 1892, 900. which is II per cent on
Jersey Central $50, 00O,0 600 capital. And
this calculation does not take into con-
sideration any advance in the price OF
coal whatever.

What Soda Water L..

Soda water, so called because first
made with soda, is mineral water,
made of carbonic acid and water, and
favored with various kinds OF syrups.
It's common name has now no mean
ing, because the soda water OF the
present day has no soda in it. Car
bonio acid will mix with water at the
common heat and pressure of the air,
but if the heat be lesssned and the
pressure increased, mucl more OF it
con be forced ipts the water. In
making sode water the carbonic acid
is obtained by pouring weak sulphuric
acid over marble dust, which sets free
the gas. This is then forced by
means of a powerful pump into the
water contained in very strong air.
tight vessel. The water thus I'M
pregnated with gas is drawn off into
fountains or is bottled. There is
nothing injurious about the liquid, ex-
cept that its coldness may disturb
digestion and thus injure the stomach.

Screens For Stable Windows.

The wire screens commonly used in
houses to keep out flies are now so
cheap that they can be proftably used
in stable windows for the same pur-
pose. But it must be remembered
that the stable is itself the most COM
mon breeding place for flies, in the
excrement from animals in which the
flies deposit their eggs. Unless care
is tax en- to gather up and remove the
droppings before there is time for
eggs to hatch, the window screens
will serve rather to shut the flies in
than to keep them out. Stables should
never be built near houses, because if
they are nothing can keep houses
from being overrun with flies. Next
to the stable rs breeding place for
these pests is the sink hole, where
slops OF all kinds are thrown to pass
of through drains underneath. It is
possible that where these conditions
prevail, flies, though annoying, are
really beneficial. Flies doubtless de.
stroy much filth, and thus lessen the
malaria which would prevail If they
had not been created. But it is far
better to place all decaying sub
stances under ground, where the earth
will absorb their bad odors, than to
leave them on the surface to breed

Turnips as a Catch Crop.

So many farmers SOW turnips as a
catch crop in corn and potatoes that
they forget there is any better way.
As rule catch crops do not pay.
They always interfere with the late
cultivation of hoed crops, which is al
ways important and sometimes neces-
sary if there is a dry time late in sum-
mer. Now that most farmers culti-
vate hoed crops very shallow late in
the summer. merely scratching the
surface to kill weeds while they are
small, there is less objection to late
cultivation than used to be the case.
In the old days, when a ploW was
used at the last cultivation to pile the
soil up against the hills of corn or po-
tatoes, the Jesuit was always injury
and often ruin to the crop. In such
case, too, there was little chance for
turnips to grow, as the soil piled up
against the hills turned the water in
to the middle OF the rows, or rather
the corn leaves themselves did so, as
they bend over to the middle of the
rows by July and often in June turn
ing the slightest shower into the mid
die of the row, where most OF the corn
roots are. Under the hill the soil is
almost always dry until the corn is
cut. The potato top does not lop
over 80 much. but it, too, throws a
good deal of the moisture that falls on
it into the space between the hills

Origin OF Staterooms.

The use of the word "staterooms
as applied to the cabins on steamer
Or other vessel is of curious origin. In
the palmy days of steamboating on the
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers the pass
snger packets were fitted up with every
accommodation for the guests. It was
the custom on the better class OF boats
to name the cabins after the various
States of the Union. Thus there would
be "Virginia" cabin, a "Msssachu-
setts" cabin, a Maryland" cabin, etc.
There was considerable rivalry as to
which State should have the most
handsomely furnished cabin named
after it. Passengers coming from diff
ferent parts of the country took sides
and often made it uncomfortable for
steamboat captains when they imag-
ined that the State of their birth had
been slighted, In consequence it
|, gradually became the custom to num-
ber the cabins instead of naming them.
This is now the universal rule, the
Texas" alone surviving. AS is fit.
ting, the "Texas" is always the largest
cabin on the boat. tits used for sleep
ing quarters by the crew and is loca-
ted Immediately under the pilot house.
But the name staferoom has stuck and
is now in universal use.
