FROM A FIRE or APPLE WOOD.

Through wind swept sheets Of driven rain
The ancient orchard shows forlorn,
Like brave old soldiery half slain.
With gaps to tell the losses borne,
And fragments Of The fallen trees
Burn on the hearth before me brightJ
The fire their captive spirit frees.
Musing, watch IL take its flight.
How swift the flames Of gold and blue
Up from the glowing logs aspirei
There yellow bird and bluebird flew
And oriole, each with wings Of FIRE.
Now In the hearth light, on the trees,
stirs something they and have heard.
All, is 1t not the summer breeze
Come back to US with sun and bird2
Poor summers, born again-to diel
Quickly as they have come they go.
Fee, where the ashes smoldering lie,
The orchard floor is white with snow.

THE BRONX ROCKING STONE.
Many Tons I'm Weight Yet Can lie
Ensiy Moved by one
strong Hand,

The rocking stone which stands on
the Hat surface of an out-cropping
of rock on a little eminence in Bronx
park does not attract so much at
tention as the animals there do, by
any means; but there are, neverthe-
less, always interested people walk
ing around it, and trying to see if
they can move it, says the New York
Sun.
This great fragment of rock, which
weighs perhaps eight or ten tons, or
move, has in its general outlines a
form in some rough semblauce TO
an egg. 1t lies on its side, and so
nicely balanced is it that me man
of fair strength can readily move it;
and almost any two persons can start
it into the rocking movement of
which, through a small radius, it is
susceptible.
\ woman comes up and lays her
gloved hands upon it and presses
gently; ii doesn't bulge.
"Why, it doesn't move" she says.
But two or three women together
can set the great stone rocking
easily.
And no matter who it may be that
sets the rocking stone in motion. he
is pretty sure to find in setting ii
rocking a sort of fascination.

THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER.
\ Position That Ii Exciting the Ann
bition of Students in All Me-
chanicaI DepartmeRts.

Observation-Disclosures and civil
come, not consulting experts, but
executives. Among military and naval
cadets, the most brilliant and success
full students eagerly enter the engin-
eering corps of the service, and be-
come in after years the most thor
ough and successful officers, says the
Engineering Magazine. The same ten
dency is pervading commercial life.
This state of affairs is becoming more
and more prevalent. The managers of
street railway, gas, electric lighting
and similar companies are, in the main,
men of engineering training. The
general management of broader man
ufacturing industries is being concen-
trated in the same direction. The de-
partmental organization of commerce
requires men who shall be, first of all,
able eXecutives-second, experts in
the departmental work. In all except
ing purely specialized branche&-such
as the legal or financial-use is being
made of the trained engineer. Sales
men of mechanical goods, railway
transportation department officials
and incumbents of many other appar-
emily unrelated fields are made from
engineering timber. The highest eX-
ecutive positions in the great indus
tries are accessible to men of mechan-
zeal training and common sense.

ILLINOIS PUMPKINS.
Treated by n Process That Renders
Them Superior ia the Canned
Article

A new use has been found for the
pumpkin, which promises to be an
innovation in southern Illinois. An
apple eyaporator at Noble is being
used for the drying of pumpkins, and
the product finds ready sale on the
market, says Flora Ull) CORE
spondent of the st. Louis Republic.
The pumpkins are cut into long
strips, and dried very much sin the
same manner as apples. These evap-
GRATED strips are then pressed into
cakes, which are ready for the mar
ket. This dried pumpkin has been
tested by bakeries and hotels in the
cities, and is pronounced superior to
the canned article. 1t is claimed that
90 per cent of the pumpkin can be
eyaporated.
In this section of Illinois the pump
kin grows to an enormous size A
specimen weighing 70 pounds was on
exhibition in this city few days ago.
The growers are receiving three
dollars per ton for the fruit, and
many farmers have grown ton to
the acre in their corn fields this sea-
son, despite the Unprecedented
drought.

A PAIR OF Welded LOVERS.
Car and CzGrina Are Said to BET
Without Eyes Bat for Each
Other.

1t is amusing to hear the remarks of
those who saw the car and cZarina at
the camp lunches they attended while
in France. They behaved like newly
married couple at table d'hote, with
neither eyes nor ears except for one
another, says London Truth. She
spoke so much to the ear at the
Betheny lunch that NJ. Loubet, who
was at her left hand, imagined an old
oraybeard like himself was de trop,
and chatted continuously with his
other next neighbor, Nine. Casimir-
Perier.
Nicholas was full of anxiety. He
filled himself the empress glasses
when champagne or other wines were
handed round. Nine. Loubet sat next
to him, but she showed, by conyersing
with her other neighbor, that she did
not wish to bore him. When he and
the empress chatted, the latter looked
animated and as if she enjoyed herself
As soon as he spoke to Nine. Loubet
the expression of the imperial lady
changed, and she gazed without the
slightest animation, as if absent
minded.

WHEN ALOCOMOTIVE BLOWS UP
An Old RRiIrOnd Mans Account of
Catastrophe That He
Witnessed.

81 am one Of the very few persons
who ever saw locomotive blow up
remarked an old railroad man to a
reporter of the Baltimore sun the
other day. "Generally the men who
witness the explosion of a steam en-
gine are so dead when the smoke
has cleared away that they are never

doubtless know, are not so high as

The crown sheet over the frebox had

The strange thing about the ex.
plosion was that no white steam was
seen. You know that perfectly dry
steam is invisible, being like the air,
and before it had time to condense
il was probably smothered by the
cloud of smoke and dust raised by
the bursting of the boiler"

DOCTORS SHORT VACATIONS.
NEEDLES Look with Envy on Those
who Can steal Month
Two OFF.

"WhI a contrast the legal profess
sion presents to the medical in re-
spect to holidays" said a well-known
New York physician the other day,
according to the New York Mail and
Express. "A medical man rarely, I'M
til he has attained the highest posi-
ton, thinks of taking a clear two
months and the greater number re-
gard themselves as exceptionally for
tunate if they get a clear three
weeks, whereas lawyers and judges
take their three months at stretch
and as much as another month more
at odd times.
"A doctor of 35 whom / know has
been trying in vain for five years to
see a play. Another told me lately
that he had not been out of New
York city save for the day for five
years. AS for myself, since | took
my degree in 1872 l don't think I've
had a years vacation, taking it all
in all, up to the present time, and
/ am now 65 years old. Very few out
side the medical profession realize
what terribly exacting service it i'm
poses."

THREE ANTELOPE AT A SHOT.
Michigan Hunter Tells of n Re-
markable Exploit in
Montana.

One of the most remarkable shots
ever reported was made by the late
DR.. j. b. WEIGH, of Hudson, Mich.
Welch was hunting antelope in Mon
tana and was surprised one morning
to see a herd of the animals appear
upon a ridge some 400 yards from
camp. Welch ran to the top of the
range and saw that after going
short distance directly from the camp
the antelope had turned and were
running so that their broadside was
exposed. They were nearly a quarter
of mile away and Welch did not ex-
pect TO hit when he opened on them
with his high-power rife.
His establishment may therefore be
imagined, says the New York Times,
when on seeing one drop and going to
the spot, he found three dead ante
lope each shot through the head. The
three had been running side by side,
and one bullet had ported the trio.

CITY WOOD CLEANERS.
Women and Children Clear Away
WreckaGe of Buildings in
short Order.

One of the picturesque sights of
certain sections of the city is that
of a woman bearing bundles or bas-
kets of wood on their heads. Some
times the dimensions of the bundles
exceed the stature of their purveyors,
In that case it may be concluded that
the journey is toward home, where
the material will be worked up, per-
haps, into kindlings. After certain
days it may appear again in the street,
carefully bestowed in a basket and
heaped high over the edges-two
sticks being run up from the inside of
the basket to support the pile-and
the whole balanced on the head of an
Italian woman, says the Chicago Trib-
une. The women who collect and ped
die woou-often helped by their chill
dren-are sometimes an annoyance to
wreckers. since it does not always
"come natural for them to limit
their pickings according to the pre-
scribed restrictions. They make short
shrift, however of clearing away such
vreckage as is left to their mercies,
and when there is considerable find"
it vanishes before the assault of many
rival hands almost like mist. The car
riage of such heavy burdens on the per-
son is not an ideal method of transpor-
tation for this day and generation, but
the erect posture, bold step and free
movement Of the wood peddlers as
they pace off under their towering
burdens is one Of the most interesting
and artistic sights which the streets
afford, and the grace and strength of
the figure thus attained may well be
admired and coveted. The sight itself
is one which will largely disappear
with the wooden pavements and frame
cottages which now survive from an
earlier day and are gradually being
sacrificed.

WILD ILLINOIS REGION.
Remarkable Tract of Land in Tnze-
well County THAT Resembles
an African Jungle.

An African jungle transplanted to
central Illinois would be the best de"
scription that could be given to a re-
markable tract of land in Tazewell
county, lying along the IIacltinaw riv-
er, near the village of Lilly. This
tract, in local parlance, is known as
1.-The Lost Forty" 1t is without doubt
the widest piece of land in all Illinois,
and consists of a continuous series OF
abrupt and deep rarines, says the llIi-
uois State Journal
Not a foot of the tract could be cul-
tivated. The ridges are full OF fox
deus. wolves are occasionally found,
and turkey buzzards hover over it in
large tiocns. Even people familiar
with The territory have been lost in
the dense forest. Except for few
GRANT oaks, the wood has no CONNER
cal value.
The tract is known as the Lost
Forty" because no one knows who
owns it.. For years it has been used
for trading purposes, and many un-
wary persons from a distance have
advanced money upon it and taken
mortgages in various sums, only tc
receive a questionable title to worth
less piece of land. On the TazewcI
county tax books the 10 appears with

tered by innumerable springs and the

through it.

SERPENT UTILIZATION.
Black Snake to Be Employed by Its
Captor in Kidding His
Place of Mice.

A few days ago passengers on car
of the Middle river line were given
a remarke BILE exhibition of snake
catching between Black and Middle
rivers. AS the car was speeding along
the motorman saw large backsnake
crossing the rails. He stopped his car
and pursued the snake with the switch
stick in his hand lie was about to
kill it when a passenger jumped on
the car and begged him not to kill the
snake, as he wanted to take it alive.
The stranger quietly approached the
snake, grabbed it firmly just below
the head, and held it up. 1t was nearly
seven feet long, and it entwined itself
about its captor in a manner that fair
" chilled the blood in the veins of he
onlookers, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can.
The man then started to board the
car with his prize, but this was too
much for the passengers, and with one
accord they blackballed the snake.
They appealed to the conductor to
put man and snake off the car, bur the
nerve of the official failed him as he
approached the man holding the ugly
reptile. \ compromise was finally
agreed on by which the man and his
pet were to be given full possession
of the rear platform, and the car pro-
ceeded to its destination,
When questioned as to what he in
tended to do with the snake, the man
stated that he was going to take it
home and turn it loose for the purpose
of Kidding the place of mice.
