AT A BUNKER MEETING.
Sect Described by an Eye
witness.

At one side, at the long tables, sit
the sisters, their white prayer cover
ings showing full against the general
gloom. their mild, seriousfaces turned
toward the preachers. and on every
hand hang their black bonnets-som-
Der draperies added to the somber
scene. At the other side are the breth-
rem, long-bearded, long-haired men
with solemn faces, and along every
low-lying beam stretch row on row
of great hats, their crowns rising
like a series of monuments to the doe
trine of humility. On the platform are
the preachers-a line of them-most
of them old and white, says an eX-
change.
The few Pickering lights throw
strange shadows everywhere, and now
and then bring into relief the black
forms of the unregenerate in the half
filed mows at either end. From the
stables below come the sound of cat
tie stirring restlessly in their straw
bedding, the half-suppressed bleat Of
a lamb, the cluck of a nervous hen.
Back of it all, pushing, vulgar mass,
crowding at the wide doors, stares
in at the company-the sightseers
from the neighboring villages, arrayed
in bonnets gay with paper flowers Of
every hue, bright dresses, or the ter
rible productions of the fashionable
tailor" or the gents furnisher" Of
the country town.

DOCTORS SHORT VACATIONS.
NEEDLES Look with Envy on Those
Who Can Steal n Month
or Two on.

"What a contrast the legal profess
sion presents to the medical in re-
spect to holidays" said 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 I 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 1 took
my degree in 1872 | don't think I've
had a years vacation, taking it all
in all, up to the. present time, and
I am now 65 years old. Very few out
side the medical profession realize
what a terribly exacting service it i'm
poses"

THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER.
A Position That IL Exciting the Ann
bitiOn of Students I'm All Me-
chanical Departments.

Observation-Disclosures and civil
now make It their ambition to be.
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 branches-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-
entity unrelated fields are made from
engineering timber. The highest eX-
ecutiye positions in the great indus
tries are accessible to men of mechap-
ical training and common sense.

WITH BOW AND ARROW.
Hunters Are NOW Given 90 Matching
Their skin Against AniuiGl
Cunning.

A new class of sportsmen has been
growing up within the last few years
whose distinguishing characteristic is
based upon the line followed by the
late Maurice Thompson, sportsman
and author, says the Chicago Journal
Thompson disdained to use the
shotgun on small game, preferring to
match skill against cunning He
made it a practice not to kill game
until he was close enough to watch
and study it. So he took long bow
and went into the woods after quail
and grouse. He hunted rabbits in the
same manner, and was very success.
full
When he went after quail he stole
upon the flock in it's haunts and
picked off the birds with arrows that
made no noise and did not Brighten
those that remained. In this way he
grew to know the haunts and hab-
its of his quarry as the shotgun
hunter never does. Rabbits he
stalked in a similar manner. The
point to be won was to see the rabbit
in the little form" where it spends
the day, in surroundings that render
it well-nigh invisible, and shoot it be.
fore it could run away. For squirrels
he took an ancient fint-lock rife.
Most hunters are not handicapping
themselves to this extent, but take
instead of bow or fintlock a small
rife with which the head may be
shipped off a quail or grouse and a
tiny puncture made in q rabbits

BUY WATCHES AS TRINKETS.
keepers, Says a jew
eIer.

"No, don't believe that there are
many women who buy a gold watch
to keep time" declared an Eighth
street jeweler the other day, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record. "The
best proof of my assertion is in the
fact that while we sell quite num-
Der of watches to women we have
very few women's watches in our re-
pairing department. Men, on the
other hand, come in every day to have
their watches repaired, and they keep
our repairing department busy the
whole day long. Some of them are
mighty particular, too, to have their
watches timed almost to the second.
women, as rule, buy a gold
watch as a trinket. They pin it on
the breast like a medal. Some wear
it at the waist with a quantity Of
other trinkets. You have no doubt
seen many such women on Chestnut
street. 1t is only the professional
woman whose business requires her
to have strict time who buys a time
piece for the purpose for which it
was made. A trained nurse is an in
stance. And as a rule the profess
sional woman buys a silver watch.
But women will be women, you
know!"

SYMBOLS IN A CARPET.
Client Persian Product by
by an Expert.

During the shah's last stay in Paris
he paid visit to the Gobelins, where
he showed a most appreciative interest
in all that he saw. Before a remark
ably fine Persian carpet, given to the
museum by NJ. Goupil, he remained for
some time, interpreting for himself the
symbolical illusions thickly embroid-
cred upon it, which, however, he de-
clined to translate into French. A few
days since the mystery was cleared up.
There arrived in Paris the manager of
the imperial carpet weaving factory in
Teheran, who stated that he had been
commissioned by the shah to study
the methods of manufacture in use
at the Gobelins. To him the direc-
tor applied for a solution OF the le-
gends which had so captivated the
shah. Thereupon the Persian began to
read out a running translation "a
carpet for the ruler of the earth; SUI
periority for his feet; how beautiful ii
is; It is in his cabinet and knows his
secrets. 1t is pleasant as Paradise, and
brighter than the Academy Of Mari

THE BRONX ROCKING STONE.
Many Tons in Weight Yet Can BE
Easily Moved by One
Strong Hand.

The rocking stone which stands on
the fat surface of an out-cropping
of rock on 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 il
they can move it, says the New York
Sun.
This great fragment of rock, which
weighs perhaps eight or ten tons, or
more, has in it's general outlines a
form in some rough semblance to
an egg. 1t lies on it's side, and so
nicely balanced is it that one man
of fair strength can readily move it;
and almost any two persons can start
it into the rocking movement OF
which, through small radius, it is
susceptible.
A woman comes up and lays heI
gloved hands upon it and presses
gently; it 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 it
rocking q sort of fascination.

Science and Sport.

We would like to take some of
these mosquito fearing gentlemen
with us on some of our squirrel hunt
ing expeditions along the Pamunky
river and let them see and feel what
every huntsman endures while en-
gagged in this sport, says the South
ern Clinic. 1t is fact that at times
in these river bottoms the mosquitoes
are so thick that they are unendur-
able, and-when a fellow goes to aim
at a squirrel he has to fight them
off with his gun barrel before he can
see the squirrel We are not joking
ais to the number of bites that the
huntsman suffers from, and we are Sc
rious when we say that the idea of
malaria being dependent solely upon
the bites of these insects sounds fool
ish to men who have observed what
we have in thousands of cases.

THREE ANTELOPE AT A SHOT.
A Michigan Hunter Tells of a Re-
markabIe 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 ridge some 400 yards from
camp. Welch ran to the top of the
range and saw that after going a
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 a 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.

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

A new use has been found for the
pumpkin, which promises to be an
innovation in. southern Illinois. An
apple evaporation at Noble is being
used for the drying of pumpkins, and
the product finds ready sale on the
market, says Flora (Ill) cOrre-
spondent of the ST. Louis Republic.
The pumpkins are cut into long
strips, and dried very much in 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
evaporated.
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 a ton to
the acre in their corn fields this sea-
son, despite the unprecedented
drought.

The production of oxygen and hy-
drogen on an industrial scale by the
decomposition of water with electro
lytic apparatus in Germany, says q

gestion that hydrogen thus produced
may find a wide field of employment
as a lighting agent. 1t is used for
initiating military balloons. For light
ing purposes it is compressed in

deep, Ivid scar on the mans fore
head. 1t was evidently the result of a
serious wound; but the next instant
Landon had put on his hat, and drawn
1t tightly down over his forehead,
while the sergeant was quietly light
ing his pipe. l had strong desire to
nsk Landon how he came by such
mark, but RETAINED from doing so,
and as he volunteered no information
on the subject, although he must have
known that we both saw it, we let
the matter rest.
For some time we walked on In ST.
lence, but it wasn't Landon's nature
to remain quiet long, and he was pres
emily talking again in his old CHEEKY
manner until we reached the top of
the mountain, where we awaited the
arrival of the coach, and soon after
wards were once again in our seats.
1t was about an hour after midnight
when we reached our first stopping
place. This was nothing more than
long, low weather-board hut, con-
tanning a roughly-furnished sitting
room and few tiny bedrooms for the
convenience Of any passenger who
cared to break the journey.
The accommodation house." as it
was called, stood almost on the road,
and behind the stables the ground
sloped away to a deep gully, whilst in
front on the other side of the road
the side of the mountain, with its
densely-growing scrub, rose precipi-
tously.
A few minutes later we four coach
passengers were seated in the sitting
room whilst the sleepy proprietress
of the establishment busted herself in
a leisurely way in preparing for us
hot tea and bacon and eggs.
1t was, as l have said, warm night,
and the door of the room was wide
open. Outside the darkness was in
tense owing to the black wall of scrub
that fringed the road and rose like
a wall above us.
Coming into the room after our
four hours drive, we all began to
realize that we were hungry and had
had long, tedious journey. CONVEX
sation entirely ceased and sense
of drowsiness began to creep over all
except the sergeant, who sat facing
the door, his beloved rife across his
knees. Jones, the accountant, had
placed the bag of gold on the small
table in the center Of the room, and
sat with his eyes closed. Landon,
who was nearest the door, had made
no effort to overcome his sleepiness,
and was the first one to close his
eyes. After time drowsiness began
to steal over me, and just before
finally dropping off to sleep I noticed
that even the sergeant was begin
ming to blink suspiciously, whilst the
tired Landon, now fast asleep, had
topped across the table, his left arm
