And girdlcd strong with the iron blades

A School Girl Heroine.

<Nn ISIS Jean Nelson had very
Iml queenly bearing. Not that she
S~oS really thought herself made OF
any better clay than the other mem
hers of the human family, but she was
sometimes given that credit. Often
had she been censured on that account
by those who did not understand her.
Oh! the agonles' Of being misunder-
stood. But to those who knew her, she
was cordiality itself, and every girl In
the dormitory worshIpcd at her shrine.
Jean was exceedingly pretty. In
fact. she was very beautiful. Her nose
was as straight as Venus own. A Gu
pid's bow for mouth, about whose
corners a smile SO often played. Her
chin wore a miscellaneous dimple In 1t,
and her eycs--words fail! The Won

Willie Woodland tells the following
story at the expense of one of the now
well-known turfmen of the Middle
West racing circuit: "a few years
ago." said Willie. "0ur friend came
down from Central Kentucky with a
few home-bred horses to the Louisville
track, His hrst starter was put In a
selling race, which he won. After the
race was run the horse was led up In
front Of the stand. The track auc.
tioneer went through the routine with
$500 the owners bid The trainer and
owner rushed up excitedly and yelled !:
Here. hold on. I didn't bid on that
'hoss." Just give me the purse and
keep the horse. cause I don't want him

Just how many boys and men are EN-
ployed 1t Is difficult to learn accurately.
They all work for the gas company,
as the city pays $50 year for each gas
lamp and the company maintains" it
that is. pays for lighting, extinguish-
ing, cleaning and repairs.
But while the company allots an ev-
erage of 100 lamps to each lighter, and
pays a fixed rate per lamp for their
maintenance, the lighters sub-let the
contracts in some cases, hiring little
lads for almost nothing to do part Of
the work, Of which, of course, the COM
pany has no record.
Some old men who, for many years,
have been employed as lamp-lIghters,
swear their sons into the service and
make a family affair Of it. Therefore,
1t Is probable that more than 200 peo-
pie are employed to care for the 1880
gas lamps which are still in service.
Although the electric lighting sys-
tenn of Chicago was inaugurated only
thirteen years ago and has grown slow
~, few people realize that the city has
the largest municipal street lighting
system in the world. including $500 arc
lamps, each of 1900 candle power.
In addition to the gas lamps. there
are approximately 10000 gasoline lamps
in service in outlying districts not
touched by the mains Of the gas CON-
panies, and these are rented by the city
from private corporations. These, too,
are being displaced gradually by the
extension Of the electric lighting sys.

They are getting after the nimble
young man who trots around the streets
in the cleaning with torch on the end
Of along pole. touching Oh the gas
lamps one by one and leaving trail
Of more or less light after him, says the
Chicago Chronicle. The irresistibl"
march Of science and progress and
the other things which are making
changes in the world IS sweeping the
lamp-lighter out Of the way.
In 1887, before there were any munic-
ipal electric street lights In service Ill
Chicago, about 400 young men. old men
and barefoot boys trudged nightly
through all the city streets lighting the
gas lamps. In the chill dawn they made
the rounds again, putting out the lights.
Now handful Of employees In the
electrical department Of the city throw
u few switches In the electric light sta
lions every evening and instantly $500
electric arc lights spring to life alons
the streets which the boys formerly
paced 50 labOriously, aud in the MORN
ing the switches are thrown back once
more and the lights die out. 1t is all
done by simple turn of the wrist
But the lalnp-lighter has not been en-
tirely superseded as yet. nOtwithstand'
ing City Electrician Ellic0tt's anxiety
to extend the electric lighting system
until 1t includes the entire city. which
is to be done as soon as machinery can
be installed to use the water power OF
the drainage channel at I.ockport.
There are still tbout $500 gas lamps
in nightly operation. and. as each light
er cares for an average of 100 of these.
there are still nearly POO lighters max,

That the first white child born on the
Western reserve should die for want Of
food shows the hardships which the
first settlers endured. The hrst family
to winter on the Western reserve con.
sisted Of Judge Kingsbury and wife
and children. They located at Con.
neaut. which Is situated near the banks
Of Lake Erie. Provisions were very
scarce, and It IL said that more than
once the Judge transported through the
wilderness on q hand sled q barrel Of
beef q distance Of sixty miles. The
eeverest test of the family came when
Judge Kingsbury was compelled by his
business interests to 60 to New York
IN the fall Of the drst year Of their set
tlement at C0nneaut. The journey was
Z long one In those days, when all who
wished to travel must ride horseback
or 20 on foot. Arriving In New York
he was taken sick and for several
months was unable to return to his
family. A. soon a. he could travel he
started at once, and fearing that his
wife and little ones would have used
up the supply Of provisions in his abb
ssnce he gathered together all he could
carry. and when his horse gave out, q
hundred miles from home, he placed
the load upon his own back and contin.
ued his trip. On reaching the house
he bounded inside with his precious
load Of provisions. During his absence
another child had been born and upon
cot lay the mother, nearly famished.
and beside her the babe was dead. 1t
had died for lack Of nourishment,
which the starving mother was unable
to furnish. This ID one Of the saddest
stories In connection with the settle
ment Of the section.

enthusiastic young hunters, were out

extra large one, ran to the bank OF the
lake and jumping in swan far out into

in a canoe. He was caught In a gale

he driftesl about helplessly. bailing the
water from his canoe at intervals and
holding on. In the morning he sighted
the Canadian shore and landed safely.

Utilizing the wind as a stump puller
Is an Oregon invention. 1t was the
idea Of the farmer at the State peniten.
tiary, whose task was to clear six acres.
and with the aid Of the wind he cleared
the whole tract In six weeks, although
the timber was q dense growth, the
first measuring from one to four feet In
diameter. The winds in the quarter
blew strong from the south at this sea-
son. The farmer put his men to work
on the north side Of the FIR grove. They
cut log and dragged 1t close to the
north side OF the bases Of the FIR trees,
and then cut the surface roots Of the
trees that were to be felled. The prep
arations were made during the first
day, and then the men went home and
slept while the wind did the rest. Dur
Ing the night strong wind blew the
trees down. and they, In falling across
the logs. pulled up the taproots. The
next day the men sawed up the fallen
trees. burned the brush, and laid their
logs for another lot of trees. They
proceeded In this way until the whole
grove had disappeared.-Farmer's Ad-
vOcate.
