WATCHES THE sNowsHEDs.
The Singular Occupation Western
Woman Has Chosen and
Ably Fills.
Mrs. Paul Reicke sits hour after hour

Mrs. Paul Reicke sits hour after hour
each day, field glass in hand, upon a
lofty peak in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains watching for fires in the snow
sheds that line the railroad through
the rocky businesses. She and her hus
band have undertaken the task for the
company, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The man watches for fires by night and
the woman in the daytime.
Red mountain, on the brow of which
stands the signal station, has a bold,
bare front that juts out from the main
range across the canyon of the Yuba
river, opposite Cisco station, four miles
away. The signal house is small, but
substantial, andhas glass front.
There are fire alarm signals situated
all along the interior OF the sheds, only
q half mile separating one from the
next, and there are track walkers to
heep a constant lookout night and day
and to turn in an alarm if they see
anything wrong. But there might be
fires which they would not see until too
late and the entire chain of sheds
might be singed off the landscape while
they would be running to the nearest
alarm box, even If they did see the
flames, II the woman up on the noun
tain top did not fash much quicker
alarm into Cisco by telephone and have
the fire trains rushing to the scene
within GO seconds of the time the first
smoke appeared.
Both Mr.. Reicke and his wife are peo-
pie of culture and knowledge of the
world. Mrs. Reicke is quite young and
comely. Mr., Reicke is the father Of
grown sons, some of whom are in busi-
ness in San Francisco.
Mr.. Reicke goes into town once o
week for supplies and to attend to
whatever business connected with the
company may arise. In his absence,
should he remain over night, Mrs.
Reicke must remain at her post with
out sleeping. 1t is then that her posi-
tion is enough to awe any woman, or
even man. Absolutely alone on top
of mountain 5000 feet high, and sur
rounded by smaller mountains on all
sides, without other human habitation
closer than four miles-isolated in this
tremendous solitude, with nothing to
do but sit at window and with a field
glass patrol the distant line of civiliza-
tion across the canyons and other
mountain tops throughout the long
day, and pehaps Throughout the long,
dark night as well-that is position
which few women would have the nerve
to occupy and one in which few women
would be trusted.

MUD HEN EGGS FOR CHICAGO.
Industry Dut Little Known a Money
Producer for Hunters of
BuFeRu County,

Green river "hen fruit" will soon be-
gin to make its appearance in Chicago.
This is an Illinois product of which Chi
caeoans partake without knowing
what theyare eating. Green river "hen
fruit is the egg OF mud hen. Mud
her rs the common name of the Ameri-
can coot, OF Virginian rail, says Chi
caeo paper.
During the month Of May is the busy
season of the mud hen; likewise of the
individuals who make living robbing
her nest The hens, in large numbers,
frequent the marshes of the Green and
Illinois rivers. They nest in swarms,
on punches Of drift, and here they are
easily found by the egg hunters, who
find n ready market in Chicago for all
of their offerings A Green river
hunter last year gathered 1000 dozen
eggs in three weeks, clearing $50 for
his labor, The price last year netted
six cents dozen.
Nearly all OF the eggs are taken in
Bureau county. They are coated in the
same manner as the product of the
barnyard fowl, and are sold to restaur-
ant men and confectioners. 1t is said
TO be an easy matter for an egg hunter
acquainted with the haunts and habits
of the mud hen to take from 500 to 800
dozen eggs in single season.

1t is a well-established fact that
plants can be improved by crossing
and judicious selection quite as sure
ly and effectively as the breeding of
animals. The sugar beet may be
quoted as an example of what culti-
vation may do. The sugar beet Of
to-day actually contains about three
times as large proportion of sac
charine matter as it did century
ago.
The average dietary of individuals
in different countries varies greatly.
An English statistician, Mr. II. F.
Crawford, finds that an inhabitant Of
the United Kingdom consumes much
more meat than q Belgian, French
man or German, but in smaller pro-
portion of bread and potatoes. More
bread and less meat are eaten in Bel
gium than in any other country con-
sidered, while q French peculiarity is
the apparent small use of milk.

A CHIVALRIc BIRD.
E@nGeS a Dainty Compartment
for His Mate.

Even the birds recognize woman's
riehts-at least so an Audubonite lee
turer declared the other day in describ-
ing the habits of the golden-crowned
thrush, more fsmiliarly known as the
oven-bird. The word "oven" merely re-
fers to the shape of the philosophers
nest, which usually is built on the
ground with a dome-like roof. Even
the family name suggests fire, being
Furnariidae, says the Baltimore News.
But the way in which the nest is
built explains the birds answer to
"eternal feminine" demands. A parti-
tion divides the owen" into two COM
partments. The inside one is for the
LADY bird and has a luxurious feather
bed. The outer room is the gentleman
birds boudoir, and it's only furniture
is rough clay couch.
The head of the family has golden
crown-which he deserves. for he's a
gentleman and a scholar--a regular
bird of bird, to fall into the slang of
the day-who might teach something

An Old Tortoise.

Georgia. Fruit industry.

In addition to its other new indus
tries, Georgia is beginning to witness
growth Of her fruit industry which
must soon attract the attention of
fruitgrowers elsewhere. Many OF the
old farms Of that state, particularly in
the northern part, which had about
driven their owners into bankruptcy,
have been made under this new devel-
opment exceedingly profitable. The old
red hills, good for nothing else, have
been found to contain just the soil for
peaches, apples and pears, while the
climate is all that could be desired

Tino in the north and that they have re-
assembled a considerable force in the
mountains.

iment met and routed band of the
enemy between Legaspi and Riago, prov
ince of Albay, April 10. Two Americans
were killed and five wounded, including
two officers. The Nkpinos lost heavily.
The conditions around Lagaspi and Sor-
some are reported as considerably dis
turbed.

armed with rifles, attacked Chairman, in
northern Soanar, in the vicinity of Catu-
big. Company + of the Forty third reg
iment was garrisoned at that place. The
enemy built trenches on the outside of
the town during the night and fired vol
leys persistently into it until the Amer
leans charged them, scattering them and
killing 1856 Filipinos. Two of the Amer
leans were wounded This attack was
precipitated by the enemy's recent sue
cessful fight at Catubig.
The garrison of Chairman has been re-
moved to the seaport of Laguan.

Der POO, armed with rifles and bolos and
operating four muzzle-loading cannon, at

local police force sailed out to help the
Americans. The latter, with the police
charged the enemy, and together they dis
persed the Filipinos, and after the fight
ing was over buried 1875 of them. Their

New Haven, Conn, May 6.-The dual
track athletic meet between Yale and the
University of California resulted in IL
well-earned victory for Yale, with eight
firsts and one tie to her credit. The
visitors took three events and tied in
another. Technically the score would be
written IL to IL.
The Yale track athletes proved strong
er than even the best informed had be-
lieved. The Californians put up game
fight to the finish in every event except
the half mile, in which their man, Ser
vice, was run off his feet and loped to
the tape with Smith of Yale a good
80 yards ahead of him. Pynter of Yale
had given out earlier, having set a clip
for the others that wore him out.
Yale won the 220-yard dash, the 40
yard, the half mile, the mile, the 100
yard hurdle, the 22O-yard hurdle, the shot
put, the pole vault, and tied in the broad
jump.
California took the lOO-yard dash, the
hammer throw, the high jump, and tied
in the broad jump. In the latter i
surprisingly low record, even for the Yale
jumpers, was made.
