Poker Defined.

Judge Finn of the First Municipal
court, New York, is one of the coolest
poker players On Manhattan island. A
case was before him the other day in
which the defendant refused to pay
a poker debt of 1872. The Judge asked
what poker was, and five lawyers, with
all of whom he has often played, diff
IDENTIFY opined that it was played with
cards. els it a game of chance?" in
quired the court. THAT depends alto

BURNING WEEDS,
Method Of Destroying Them In Use Dy
Railroads.

Railroads.
at this season Of the year one is
reminded of the annual contest waged
against growing vegetation to preserve
railway tracks in clean condition. Es-
pecially Is this true Of the dirt-bal-
lasted tracks in the western states,
where the expense entailed in keeping
vegetation down by grubbing with q
shovel Is formidable figure, COM
pared with the expense of the same
work where tracks are ballasted with
good quality Of gravel. For many
years western roads have resorted to
numerous experiments for killing veg
citation, with machinery, the most
successful Of which has been the
scheme of subjecting it to scorching
heat produced by burning crude Pc
troleum under a shield carried a few
inches above the track. Machines Of
this description are used on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Atchi-
son, Topeka 6 Santa Fe and Chicago
Great Western roads. In the construe-
ton Of this weed burner use is made
OF an ordinary fat car, on the front
end of which las it runs in serVlCe) Is
mounted an upright thirty-horse-pow-
er boiler and pair Of engines. BY
means OF sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car Is made self-propelling. After
some experience it was found neces-
sary to connect the second axle of the
truck with the first, or that driven by
the engine, by means Of sprocket
chain, in order to overcome slipping
due to the looping Of long weeds over
the rails. BY this means of locomo-
ton a speed Of from ten to twelve
miles per hour Is easily made, as
when running for stations to meet
passing trains. The water supply for
the boiler and for extinguishing fires,
which may be set accidentally, is car
ried In wooden tank in the center
Of the car. On top Of this tank there
are two air reservoirs, and inside Of
the forward cab there are two air
pumps for creating the air pressure
necessary to spray the oil into the
burners. The burner rigging is sus-
pended from rear platform, built
upon four Trails, The shield and
burners are hung from the outer end
Of this platform upon bell cranks, and
an old reverse lever and quadrant are
used to adjust the burners to the de-
sired height from the rail. The burn
ers are easily taken down when 1t Is
desired to couple the car in with a
train. The oil tank for supplying oil
to the burners Is located inside the
rear cab or just in rear Of the water
tank.

Cotton Mills Affected.

Mexico City.-The cotton manufao-
turing interests are badly affected by
the extraordinarily high prices for
cotton and ct Puebla, which is the
center Of the cotton textile industry.
in the country, mill owners proposs
running seven or eight hours a day
until the end Of the year and then
shut down three months in order to
give time to work of the heavy stocks
accumulated. Some mills at Puebla
are just now merely running to give
work to the operatives, as are several
other cotton mills In different parts
Of the country.

Boston harbor to honor her hundredth
anniversary, must have been most I'M
preSsive. But though even In her best

a single shot from one Of the big guns
they carry, she has a record Of glory
which they have yet to earn. What
we may hope and believe Is that, in our
navy of to-day there are worthy sue
cessors Of Hull, cambridge, Stewart,
and the sailors that gave to the Con-
stitution her immortal renown. Now
that this famous centenarian has pass
ed the anniversary Of her launching,
we trust that she will continue to be
cared for, with the single purpose Of
preserving her as long as possible to
posterity as a monument Of heroic days.

Congress desired the experiment of
rural free-mail delivery to be thor
eughly tested and to that END author.
ICED the postomce department to make
trials in different parts Of the country.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath, in his report recently made pub
lie, gives the results Of these expert.
ments. He says trials have been made
In all sorts and conditions of rural life.
The experiments have covered twenty.
nine States and forty-fo different
routes. They have not been confined
to communities where conditions "a.
Vored the success Of the plan to the
utmost. but mail has been carried over
the mountains Of Arkansas, through
the heavy roads Of Central Illinois,
along the rough banks Of the Missouri
river In Kansas, through the unsurvey.
ed and roadless farming districts Of
southwest Kentucky, over the hills and
through the snow-alled crossroads Of
Michigan and among the scattered col.
ored settlements of Virginia. Com.
menting on these experiments, the
First Assistant Postmaster General
says: According to the varying con-
ditions Of the country traversed, the
rural carriers perform their services on
horseback or riding in buckboards, bug.
giles, two-wheeled carts, or on bicycles.
In some States they have to cross farms
and pull down bars and ride over fields
to deliver and collect their mails. In
no instance has any serious complaint
been made Of this invasion Of private
rights. On the contrary, the co-opera.
ton Of the communities served has in
every instance been cheerfully and eff.
fectively given. The farmers, at their
own cost, have put up boxes at the
crossroads and at all other convenient
places for the reception Of the mails.
The general results obtained have been
so satisfactory az to suggest the feast.
bility Of making rural delivery a per-
manent feature of postal administra.
ton In the United States, not immedi-
ately or in all districts at once, but in
some gradual and graduated FORM"
After the successful experiments in this
Line Congress should not delay longer
the establishment of rural free delivery
in the communities best suited for the
immediate introduction of this system.
