The wheelers cramp the front axle round and head themselves along the cross street; and so the whole team stands now, in position for straight pull on the load, and with the load so placed that it will follow where they drag it. Everything ready, the foreman gives little blast on his whistle; every driver gathers up his reins, and every horse knows what this preliminary touch means. Then from the foreman louder blast on the whistle, the drivers tighten their lines and the horses settle down to business again.
 Such loads as that described are al most invariably moved at night when the streets are comparatively free from traffic. The truck upon which 1t was carried has been tested to weight of hundred tons. There has been carried on it load of eghty-one tons in a wire cable, and this perhaps is the heaviest load ever carried on wheels in the city Fifty horses were hooked to it, making 8 team of twelve ranks with four hors- es abreast and two horses on the wheel New York Sun.

HOMES OF MUSKRATS.

The Little Animal, Sometimes Served as
 Mock Terrapin is a Good Mason.
 The nights are growing cold and long,
 and the muskrats have begun to build
 their winter houses and put on their
 winter coats Among the waving flags
 thousands of cone-shaped houses are in course of construction.
 The family habitation is made of dry
 coarse flags and grasses, small pieces of
 water soaked wood and small stones, all cemented together by a peculiar mortar
 which only the muskrat knows how to
 prepare by chewing clay and mud into
 a fine preparation. The old negro hun
 ter declares that the cementing is done with evenness and precision by the in- dustrious little worker by means of it's
 paws Two or three holes or Heads" allow the rats to pass out or enter be-
 low the ice. The houses are rough on the outside and are built from three to five feet high. Old hunters and close observers of the habits of the muskrat say that the little marsh-dwellers know in advance how high the spring tides will rise. As verification of this claim it is observed that all beds in given marsh are of the same height.
 The houses below the waterline are bare mud inside, with a floor of sticks and grasses few feet above the water. Upon this scaffod-like floor the rats are said to lie with their heads toward the
 lead" ready at a moments notice to dash out and appear at the surface 200 yards away in deep water. The law 1xr @1a t,1- .,g.r I lA protection to these, the most popular fur producers on the eastern shore of Maryland and Delaware which are caught by the hundred thousands each winter. The little animals are in many cases caught in steel traps, secured by strong chains. As soon as the rat Is trapped 1t plunges into the water, weighed down by the trap, and is drowned. A muskrat authority gives the interesting bit of information that, while 8 muskrat is compelled to breathe under water, it can travel for miles un- der the ice by a scientific producing process, which enables it to remain un- der the icy covering for hours. In or der to do this it must stop as often as once in twenty minutes and eject it's breath into the water. This air rises to the surface, forming big pale bubble. After it has been exposed to the water for few minutes, the bubble becomes oxygenated, when the rat lnhales the globule and resumes its journey
 Muskrats when served by the East ern Shore cook as mock terrapin" will challenge the epicure to distinguish it from the real Chesapeak diamond-back. When properly skinned the husky taste and odor entirely disappear, and when properly cooked the almost black flesh is juicy, tender and sweet. The food of | the rat is the roots of marsh grasses and | shrubs which grow on the shore, and no | morsel of food is touched until it has | been thoroughly washed,--Baltimore | Sun.

HIS TENTH ANNIVERSARY
(continued from Ninth Page.)

| Continued from Ninth Page)
 | affirmation we are the interiors of all | His promises, and may confidently
 claim the blessing of His presence and leadership. The future Is bright. Though to some of us the western skies
 seem very near they are luminous with hope. They that are with us are more than they that are with our enemies the mountains are swarming with the
 horses and charlots of Gods host, and
 they are waiting to fight for us and
 lead us to victory. While we honor the
 Christ He will have work for us to do,
 and while He has work for us to do our
 continued life and vitality are assured.
 The history of the church teaches no
 lesson more impressively than that,
 they that honor the Son shall be hon.
 ored by the Father, and He will give
 them increase of power and the fruit
 of faith We may confidently face the
 future conscious of our loyal and lov-
 ing purpose to honor Him by living His
 precepts and by winning men to His
 service. The city is growing, the field
 is ever widening, if we do not reap our full share of the harvest offered, it will be because we are unworthy to thrust in the sickle or refuse to use 1t.
 I appeal to the young to assume re- sponsibility in the spirit of the found CTS of this church, to show catholic temper and a flexible orthodoxy; but beyond that, more important than that, l beseech you to seek the fullness of the Spirit of Christ. Listen to no timid H. i, ,1f t1,ox xat,, II, the impotence of the gospel. There was
 never time when such assertions were more false or cowardly. The age is ready for the higher truths of life, it is waiting to honor Christian manllness. The forces that are to control society and government, to determine and sanctify all human relations are the forces led by the Lord Christ; if you would be on the winning side of new century conflicts, get into step with Him, divinlze your lives With His truth. i
 I appeal to you older men and women who welcomed me and with whom God | has permitted me to work in an ever growing fellowship, and to you who from year to year have found a home | with us. Time is passing, a few years | at the most ailu our opportunity Will | be ended; shall we not make a new | convenant with God and with each other? Ten years have slipped away | but God willing, other years are before us. and He is over us, and His truth Is our shield and buckler Lift thine eyes. O lift thine eyes! to the hills | from whence our help cometh, our help cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth.

SHE WAS SELLING SOUVENIRS.

They were very busy wsen she en- | tered, but beauty is far better for the eyes than figures, and they all dropped their pens and looked up.
 What can I do for you, Miss?" said the confidential clerk, glancing at her stunning gown and picture hat.

 Rest assured that you are not l She opened a dainty little satchel and brought forth several blocks of wood.

These little blocks of wood, of course, possess no intrinsic value but the memories they call up. If you are Southern gentlemen, and, of course, I know by your appearance that you are southern gentlemen you will think of the valor displayed on those fields by the noble sons of our dear Southland every time you gaze upon these little blocks, and a feeling of pride in your ancestry and your native land will swell your hearts with pride"
 How much more she would have said can only be guessed at, but, of course, they would. The staff of clerks passed up their quarters like small boys before the circus wasgon.

game to ROckland, but through some fur
ther argument and regulation it was agreed
to continue to the finish.
At the end Of the sixth inning the score
stood s to in favor of ROckland. In the
first half of the seventh two more were add
ed to the visitors list, and then the trouble
was on. knOwlton was substituted for
Frost in the box the last half of this inning
and before three men were counted out
eight-score had been penciled to Camden's
credit, making the standing IL to in favor
of that team In the eighth, Camden added
three more to the roll, while ROckland was
in it for cipher.
Although matters looked rather gloomy
for the ROckland boys when they came to
the bat for the last time, they still retained
their courage and put up good fight, max
ing as their record in this inning three more
pitched fine game, while Haraden did some
nice work at short. For Camden, Watson
and Sides showed themselves good with the
stick. The score:
