The Cause Of Salt Lakes.

The Great Salt Lake is a very shall
low but extensive sheet of water on
the surface Of desert plain. Sur
rounding 1t IN part are mountain
ranges, themselves barren and desc
late. The lake is nestled IN the bot
tom of true basin without outlet,
part Of the Great Basin. So slight ls
the rainfall that the basin cannot Gil
and overflow to the sea. The rain
water eyaporates in the dry air, and
the streams that flow down from the
mountains suffered the same fate even
before the MoImons came 10 spread
their waters out over the land TO trans
form it from desert TO garden.
Each stream on the land gathers a
little salt on its journey, and since
this cannot evaporate as the water
does, it remains behind. From the
mountains and from the light rains Of
the desert enough water is supplied to
transform a part Of the plain to lake,
but in the dry air the evaporation is
so great that only small part Of the
supply remains TO form the lake. Thus
little by little the lake water receives
it's supply Of salt, and therefore be-
comes salter and salter.

The south's Great Cavalry Leader.


while Grant was cutting and sell
ing cordwood, and Sherman was teach
ing school, there was a man in Mem
phis who was having no preparation
whatever for war, and yet who was
destined to make no end of trouble
for those able soldiers, " writes John
Gilmer Speed in The Saturday Even
ing Post. This was General n B.
Forrest, whose life by Dr. J. \. Wyeth
has recently been issued. Forrest was
an uneducated man and belonged to
that prescribed class IN the South
known as poor whites. Moreover
he was still further handicapped In
any effort to stand on an equality with
men of position by having been a
slave-trader. But by native tOrce and
by genius for action this unlettered
man became the most successful cav
airy leader in the South.
He enlisted as a private, but be-
fore he really went into action had
been made a Lieutenant-Colonel. In
this capacity he proved that he could
move men through the country with a
CELEBRITY most remarkable. He knew
nothing whatever about the principles
of war, and probably never read a
book on the subject in his life. 1t Is
unlikely, indeed, that he ever read
many books of any kind. He was es-
sentially a man Of action, and for
more than three and a half years he
kept the Federal commanders guessing
as to whore he was and what he was
going to do next.
Toward the close Of the war For
rests wonderful capacity was appre-
ciated in Richmond, and he was made
a Lieutenant-Genersl and put in COM
mand Of all the cavalry west Of the
Mississippi. 1t was too late, however
for him to do much. Hood S army had
been all but destroyed before Nash
Vile, Sherman was marching through
Georgia, and General James II. Will
son was after Forrest with the strong
est cavalry command ever placed in
the saddle. lie defeated Forrest at
Selma-the first time, by the way,
Forrest had ever been completely
beaten-and shortly afterward the
war ended"

sI.oO A YEAR.
The Norfolk & Western Deal.

President Henry Fink, of the Nor
folk and Western Railway, on Mon
day confirmed the report that the
Pennsylvania has purchased a con-
siderable amount of the company 8
common and preferred stock, though
tn. total is far from enough to indi-
cate a change in control. He sid
that he was much pleased with the in
terest taken by the Pennsylvania in
the Norfolk and Western and was
confident that the position Of the road
and Of its securities had been material
ly strengthened by recent develop
ments.
The newly acquired interest of
the Pennsylvania in Norfolk & West
ern, said Mr.. Fink, "has been taken
with the same idea in mind as that
which in the past four months has
prompted large investments in Bslti-
more and Ohio and Chesapeake and
Ohio. In none of these cases have
the purchases been large enough to
give the acquirer the power to dictate
policies, and this has not been de-
sired. 1t has resulted in a change in
personnel in the boards OF directors in
the two last named roads, and when
the proper time arrives will show IN
the same way in the Norfolk 4 West
ern board OF directors. Under the
plan OF reorganization Of the Norfolk
and Western the common stock does
not have the same representation as
the preferred, and will not until Sep
tember Of next year. At present the
preferred has the right to elect two.
thirds OF the boaru UT L.-aotors For
this reason the largest part of the buy
ing by Pennsylvania interests has been
in Norfolk preferred"
President Fink said that one great
advantage to his road Of Pennsylvania
interest was relief from the ultimate
necessity of fextensions from Columbus,
Ohio, to the lakes, and from Hagers-
town, Md, north through Psnnsylva-
MIA. Connections are now made with
the Pennsylvania at both of these
points. He said that the continued
requirement Of representation OF large
financial interest IN different railroad
properties was simply an element OF
necessity growing out Of the law for
bidding open agreements on rates. In
his opinion the small road isgradually
becoming less influential and must
finally, if present conditions continue,
find its greatest strength as a working
part Of some large system.

WHEN | WAS A BOY.

When was boy. oh. the fruits were SO sweet
And the melons so luscious and fine;
The cherries were redder. and richer their meat
And the berries were simply divine:
There was nothing bu, joy-when was boy.
What beautiful soul-thrilling songbirds there were
How much sweeter the song of the thrush!
The mOckingbrd's carolings hallOwed the air,
Which with Eden delights was ahush
There was nothing to cloy--when I was boy.
The dogs and horses were far better then,
And the game in the woods and the guns
We're as much above those Of today as men,
And the bliss could be measured by tons
There was then no alloy-when was boy.
In that good and that glad bright day that is gone
Flowers had sweeter perfume, and the birds
Wore plumage more gay. while the brighter shone
Braver men uttered kindlier words
There was small heart-annoy-when was boy.
Like angels from Heaven were SiTIs OF thA' Gay
Modest sweet and so pure and so true
All honor and virtue illumined their way
They were then far more beautiful, too
And their ways were 50 coy-when was boy.
VI

Giving peace, to the day that die
Reclaiming these women, 50 overly bold,
Who with men and the devil now vie:
But had no such employ-when was boy
VII
When was q boy, mans riches and wealth
We're not solely his money and lands;
There were riches Of character. riches Of health
And the wealth of the work Of his hands
had riches of joy-when was a boy.

"a hundred dollars !" echoed my

Now all this may sound like two
pence-half-penny sort ofatfair to some
of my readers,as am very well aware.
But as | am only clerk on a salary
Of 5000 a year-a 500 drifting, as it
were, out of the sky, seemed very
neat little sum to me-
Jenny and were both young peo-
pie, just beginning the world, with
no particular riches, except one ap! le-
checked baby. Jenny did her own
work, made my own shirts and cut
and fitted her own dresses | walked
to and from business every day to save
the 20 cent omnibus fares. We did
our best to make both ends meet
and tight pull We found it.
So that you will easily see that this
500 bill represented considerable
more to us than its mere face value !
Old Uncle Moses Manson was NOR
tally offended when his niece, Jenny
Clifford, chose to marry me instead Of
wizened, bespectacled, old contem-
porary of his own. He had never
spoken to her since, and we naturally
entertained no very exalted hopes Of
any testamentary recollections on his
part. And the 500 bill, therefore,
possessed the charm of an agreeable
surprise into the bargain.
Charlie" said Jenny, under her
breath, what shall we do with t?"
THAT is the very question, said l.
"Do you know, Jenny"
l hesitated a little here.
Yes she responded, interroga-
lively.
Every fellow in the bank, except
me, has a gold watch. I've been
ashamed of this old silver concern
more than once. And Seymour has
a nice secondhand one for sale that
he will let me have for $40 if"
"And turn the 500 into a mere
useles ornament cried Jenny, with
a strong accent of disapprobation in
her voice. Charley, that isn't bit
like you"
"Well. then, what do you suggest"
a should so like to give a social
party with it, said Jenny, coa1ingly.
"Only think how often we've been
invited out since We were married,
and never have had chance to re-
turn any of the hOspitalities Of friends.
The musicians, the supper, and all,
would come within the 500"
"And you are absurd enough to
wish to eat, and drink, and dance up
sum like that - I cried. mo, no,
Jennette, it is entirely out of the ques-
tion."
"a new velvet suit for the baby?
suggested Jenny, pouting little at
the emphasis of my words.
How would it correspond with the
rest Of our surroundings ?" l asked,
not without an accent of bitterness.
"You had great deal better suggest
a new winter suit and overeoat for
me. You never seem to observe how
shabby I am getting"
Nobody notices gentleman's
dress, said Jenny. 81 can make your
overcoat look very nice with fresh
binding and new buttOns-but how I
should like sealskin Jacket

ed, 81 had no idea you could be so
