permitted to go South that spring OF
1850, and 1 do believe that had it not
been for Colonel Morgans desire to
have me near him 1 should not have
gone, but have been sent North again
instead. There were few military OPP
erations In northern Virginia all that
year, and the regiment to which was
assigned had practically one long fur
Tough all that delightful spring and

from the South, where the struggle was
raging, and were constantly on the
alert for call, and had Colonel Nor
gan at any time sent an express up the
valley, we should have rendezvoused at
Winchester within a week. The jour
ney down across country was not half
as difficult for the ladies' as l had sup
posed it would be. We set out in
March, escorted by AZ of Morgan's
men, who were going to their homes
in the Shenandoah and vicinity, and in
regular caravan style, my aunt's new
Conestoga wagons, the first l had ever
seen, carrying our luggage, made good
time over the roads as yet unbroken,
but quite rough. By night we stopped
at the numerous inns or taverns along
the great highway to the "Shanydo,"
as it was then called, and by day we
rode in the saddle from 20 to 80 miles,
without discomfort. At Saratoga" or

place near Winchester was called, We
stopped, the sudden departure of the

so bad that this was necessary. Here

WORKOUT STEEL RAILS.
They Are Not Sent to the Scrap
Heap, But Are Used for Sidings,
Spurs and Branch Lines.

Several thousand miles of new and
heavier rails are laid every year on
railroads in the United States, and
these renewals are made much oftener
than the actual requirements of travel
call for them, there being a steady sub
stitution of heavy for light rails.
Nearly 30 per cent. of the track of
all railways in the United States is
now of steel. A steel rail will usually
wear out first at the ends, owing to
the wheels hammering over the open
Joints. The average life of an iron
rail is six years, of steel rail -.
A 4O-pound steel rail-40 pounds to
each yard of length-would be taken
up and replaced by one of So pounds;
a 55-pound rail would be replaced by
one of 70 pounds, and 70-pound rail
would be replaced by one of IS pounds,
perhaps. There is about one such
change at the end of each four years,
or three complete requirements of
rail during the time one would serve
in use.
The custom, general among Ameri-
can railroads, has given rise to the
question:: What becomes of the old
steel rails, or rather those for which
others were substituted? Any rail-
road man can readily give the answer:
They serve, secondhand, the inter-
ests of the road, being used for sid1ngs
or spurs.
A siding, in railroad phrase, means
a line of track on which a freight
or accommodation train may be run
while a through train is passing, or on
which a train may be sidetracked be-
fore loading or unloading. A spur is
an irregular line of track which con-
meets storehouse, wareroom, fac
tory, mill, or ship landing with the
main line, and the multiplication, of
these spurs has been of undeniable
service to all roads in the development
of their freight business.
The traffic on sidings is small; on
spurs it is still less, and the deplaced
steel rails may be in use on them for
many years.-N. Y. Sun.

TEMPORARY HOUSES.
Them to the Costly Structures He
Used for Many Years.

1 started IS years ago with a we'll
built poultry house, which, while COM
Portable in winter, was too hot in sum-
mer. 1t finally became infested with
vermin, which 1 could not keep rid of.
1 finally built sheds of poles and old
hay, and have used them with the best
results. These sheds are made 25X100
feet and ten feet high, with poles set
in the ground six to eight feet apart.
Use poles for the top pieces, put cross
wise. Fence wire is stapled on top of
the cross pieces lengthwise, about IA
inches apart.
About two feet of old hay is put on
and tar paper laid evenly over the hay,
with the ends projecting on the north
about five feet. Six-foot small-mesh
poultry netting is put on the sides all
around the shed, and before stapling
to place the wire is set in the ground
about eight inches to keep out rats.
Poles are then set about three feet
from the sides all around the shed,
with the exception of the south side,
and a few strands of wire tackled to
them to keep the sides in place. When
the hay is put in it is tramped well I'M
til it is built up to the paper and the
projecting laps laid over.
When cold weather sets in the south
side of the shed is covered with heavy
