LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
Inhabitants Happy and Contented and
Crime Almost Unknown.

SIiilc ttinOst
From the New York Times: Few
people ever think Of St. Helena except
as rock in the sea on which Napoleon
lived while miserably and then more
miserably died. That the greatest of
anti-climaxes was not the end of the
little islands history is hard to realize,
possibly because a poet or romancer
would have made it the end, and C.
continuation is therefore more or less
unnatural and absurd. Be that as II
may, St. Helena has remained the abld.
ing place of ordinary human beings
who concern themselves very llttls
about the colossal ghost generally sup
posed to be the islands only inhabl-
tant, and the report to the English
government just made by their gov
ernor shows that they have joys and
sorrows exactly like those of the folks
dwelling in places less tragicaliy ia
NOUS For instance, the revenues OF
the island last year were SIS, 152, de-
,idedly comfortable sum. but alas! the
expenditures amounted to G12,349, and
| that is an excess of outgo not comfort
? ole at all. The governor says. how
ever, that the bad balance was Tue to
some extraordinary drains upon the
Islands resources, and that he antici-
pates a substantial surplus for the cur
rent year. 4 recent increase Of thu
garrison and extensive improvements
now making by the colonial and i'm
perial authorities assure the imme-
date prosperity Of the islanders. st.
Helena las no public debt. but is pay

ports. chiefly foodstuffs and building
materials, amounted last year to 6 e.
9S5. and the exports, almost wholly po-
tatces to e4,391. Lacemaking has been
introduced among the girls of the is
land with great success, and the gov
ernor is experimenting with the manu-
faeture of brick and tile. The whal-
ers have now entirely deserted st.
Helena. the few ships engaged in that
Industry keeping far to the north or

land is 4,543. The governor hopes that
winter yisitors from England may be
tempted by the salubrity of the eli
mate to try St. Helena. which is SUI
perior he says, in some respects to that
| of Madeira and the Canary islands. He
says The people as whole compare
favorably with the English agricul-
tural population; with few exceptions
all can read and write, and the lam
guage is spoken with greater purity
than in many districts at home. As
rule. the people are happy and con-
tented, with little crime among them
and much kindness in helping each
other. Strangers are greatly impressed
with the general ciyility shown by
them to cid and young.

Nay rurn Ntent Into nau.

4 New Orleans architect has advanc,
I'd the novel idea that within the next
dfty years the people of every large
southern city will do most of their
sleeping by day. The reason of this
IS the increasing eheapness of artifi-
cial light and the peculiar climatic con-
ditions of the south. which make the
night the coolest and most comfortable
time to work. The author of this idea
claims that darkness is one of the
forces of nature against which civili-
cation wages war; that it facilitates
crime and impedes travel and puts
arbitrary limits on human exertion.

SEVEN MILES OF OLD CAR:
Convfc5s In wyoming Breaking Up Worn
Out Railroad Material


Seven miles of condemnation is a
long dfaNn-out affair even for the
west. But it stands as a western
growth near the state penitentiary at
Laramie, Wyo., where eonvicts are
daily engaged in making it an ever
lessening fact. For many months the
inspectors of the Union Pacific railroad
have scrutinized tie thousands Of
freight cars that handle the overland
traffic. When debilitated car of low
capacity or unequipped with air brakes
ratified past it was branded as con-
demned, and, if empty, was shunted
off on the side track built to be a last
refuge for the doomed cars. This
process continued for months till the
cars, averaging thirty feet in length,
reached a total length of seven miles,
This distance was ascertained by local
statisticians. who, in the interests Of
railroad history, pedaled their biey-
cles along the line and measured it
with their eyelometers. These cars are
bumpbacked, swaybacked and comfort
ed IN every conceivable way. but they
still hold themselves erect with kind
of melancholy dignity. They have had
careers varying from eight to twelve
years, and since their building a score
of changes have taken place in car
construction. Their capacity is often
as low as $4,000 pounds. whereas the
modern car is from 10000 to 10000
pounds capacity. The brake meehan-
ism for the freight car has come to
be as complicated as was that Of tbs
passenger car thirty years ago, and
inventions applying to doors, ventila-
ton and running gear make the old
time cars most pronounced back num-
| bers." A contract between railroad
and state calls for the demolition o.
these cars by the eonyiets, the wood
going to the penitentiary. where it will
keep the states charges warm this
winter, and the scrap iron returning to
the railroad shops, whence it Will issue
in due time in the form OF new railway
material

LION LOOSE
In an Express Car and Devoured .
Cargo of Poultry.


Cumberland Md Special to New
York Journal: Terrifying growls is
sued from an express car of a train
that passed through here the other day
bound for Philadelphia. A lion was in
possession, freed from his cage, slaugh-
te@sa9 chickens by wholesale. Con-
a.. I'D brakemen kept as far away
as tleir duties would permit. Hall
dozen Hagenbeck's men were gathered
in the caboose, gloomily wondering
what they could do to restore the mon
ster to confinement. When the train
stopped here for water they were at
their wits end Many of the inhabit-
ants focked to the station to listen at
safe distance, to the pandemonium
that ragged in the express car. There
was a continuous f1utte~ing and
sereaming-the hysterical distress of
a punctuated by one crash
after another as the big brute destroyed
the poultry crates around him, amid
vibrant roars that sent the crowd
staggering backward. No one dared to
enter the car The animal trainers in
the caboose were only too thankful te
be divided from their charge by stout
wooden walls. Accustomed as they
we're to subdue Wild beasts. they real
| lied that this lion, which had glatted
himself on living prey, would rend any
man who approached him. Through a
grating in the side of the car they
could see him from time to time. his
muzzle stained with blood and bristl-
ing with feathers. All about him lay
the mutilated bodies OF birds he lad
seized without devouring them. The
survivors few hither and thither fran
tically. sometimes hitting the roof and
dropping back again to the floor None
of those responsible for the lions safe
keeping could imagine how he had
broken from his cage, but It was easy
to conceive he had been maddened by
the heat and darkness and jolting OF
railway travelling, aggravated as it
must have been by the sound and smell
of life in the crates all about him. It
was agreed that the only thing to do
was to continue the journey to Phila-
delphia with all possible speed, and
there take steps at leisure to either
capture or kill the bloodthirsty animal.
And SO the train rumbled on with the
lion in possession.

How to Law Bricks,

Estimates are based by the 1000
bricks laid in a wall. 1t is customary
to deduct for doors, windows. arches,
etc, but not for fues, ends of joists,
Orders, window frames, sills or lin
tells. In a general way, a four and one
half inch wall will require seven
bricks to the square foot: fourteen for
nine-inch wall, etc. Tunnel ana
arch brickwork IS measured by the Gu
bic yard It requires thirty-eight
bricks. eight and one-quarter by four
by two, with points one-third TO one
fourth inch wide, TO lay one square
yard II laid fat T placed on edge, it
will take seventy-three, while if on
end, 149. Ornamental work, such as
eornices and beads, is produced by
causing courses of bricks to project
beyond the place of the rest. In laying
walls. the first principle to be observed,
in order to gain the greatest resistance.
is to have the bricks Of successive
courses overlap each other, so that the
joint between the two is oFerlaid by
the middle of brick. What is known
as the old English bond and which
gives the -&reatest strength consists in
arranging the bricks in alternate
courses of stretchers and headers. the
former being bricks laid longitudinally
with the wall and the other transverse
". The headers serve to bind the sey-
eral courses together.

easy victim to colds and all the long

Mend Your Birds Legs.

Young chickens and other birds fire.
ouently break the bones Of their legs,
and if properly attended to these frac-
lures can be easily cured with very lit
tie trouble. As soon as the injury IS
noticed the fracture must be carefully
cleaned and washed with warm water
and then wrapped with bit of antisep,
tic cotton Splints are then prepared
for the fractured limb preferably OF
split elder wood. the pith of which is
taken out These splints are fastened
to the cotton with drop of glue, and
held tightly in place by being wound
with linen thread. The bandage and
dressing are left undisturbed for from
three to four weeks, then the leg is
soaked in tepid water until the bandage
comes off easily The fracture will have
completely healed in that time.
Canaries and other pet birds can be
similarly treated in case Of a fracture
of leg only the elder splints ale sub
stituted by pieces of cardboard and the
bandage is left but two weeks on the
little winged patients.
