satisfied with little more than enough
to pay for lights and fuel. But when
the sale Of boxes began things took
on different appearance. 1t was
soon discovered that there was but
little "waste" material in the crowd.
With twenty-five boxes for sale, 1876
was taken in. Then the feature Of

box, cut in hexagonal form and trim

tanning a cake tastefully trimmed
with foliage and flowers, was voted to
the most popular lady in the house.
For this 1856 was taken in. The
box was voted to Miss Ida Hoffman.
Capt. 7. J. Galbraith ably filled the

STEVENS LONG UNCONSCIOUS.
Injuries to the Abilene Man Prove
Very Serious.

The condition Of Ed Stevens who
was hurt at Hooper's farm is precar-
ious. DR.. Felty found him still un-
conscious when he arrived Tuesday
afternoon and when he left him at
night there was no sign Of returning
strength. Stevens undoubtedly had
fit and fell under the horses feet.
His bruises are severe and conclusion
of the brain is probable.
1t is likely that Mr.. Stevens will at
least lose one eye and his injuries
may prove fatal.

Ice Crushing Steamers.
Self-Cuuure.

The great and powerful ice-crushing
steamers of the Lakes are without eXcep-
ton car-ferries-that is, they transport
whole trains of passenger and freight cars
from one terminal of railway line to the
other, thus constituting an important link
where bridges would be impracticable.
These ice-challenging ferries ply the
Straits of Makinac, the Detroit River, and
across Lake Erie from the American to
the Canadian shore. They are huge steel
shod craft weighing several thousand tons.
and some OF them have cost more than
$3.50. 900 each. Fitted with propellers at
either end. they crumble the ice by the
pressure of their great bulk as though its
three or four feet were but a thickness OF
cardboard.
Whatever else is wanting adventure is
not lacking in the lives of the men who
spend the months of snow aboard the
ma iestic monsters which are to the lake
tracks %tiat the snow-plows are to the
railroad lines. A few Winters since, with
the thermometer ranging from 1S' to 800
below zero, one of the car-ferries was caught
i'll an immense ice field on Lake Erie, and
floated around for months with a great
mass of ice piled mountains high around
her. 4 portion of the crew was. of course.
obliged to remain aboard and each day
a couple of the men made an attempt-not
always SuccesSful-to go ashore III
order to secure provisions and supplies.
Oftimes this meant long, dreary trip
