Money Made in Garbage.

A problem that has engaged the at
tention of the legislative bodies Of
most American cities is what to dc
with the garbage-how to get rid Of
1t at the least expense to the public
The city of Washington so disposes
Of it's garbage that profit is got out
Of it, while most other American cit
ies-being less carefully governed
have to pay largely for its removal.
There is a contract with a company
which collects the garbage and dis
poses Of 1t. The garbage is kept sep
arate from ashes and other refuse. In
iron tanks 1t is taken by rail thirty
miles down the Potomac to the reduc-
ton works. Here it IL sorted. Tin
cans, bottles, etc., are removed The
rest is placed in close iron vessel
and subjected to steam pressure, after
which it is pumped into tanks and al
lowed to settle. Oils and fats rise to
the surface and, being skinned of.
are sold to soapmakers. Under pres
sure more oil is obtained, to go the
same way. The caked garbage, after
pressure. is pufverized and sold for
fertilizer. Incidental profits arise
from the sale Of hides OF horses and
other animals and the manipulation OF
their carcasses along with the gar
bage. The horse hides make good rus
set leather. A good monthly profit is
said to be realized.

This is a fine out of door game from
France, although there are parts Of
the world where great grown men use
giant puff and darts for real weapons
of warfare to do battle with and to
chase their game in the wilderness.
The puff and dart is a cousin to the
pea shooter and is just a little larger
and played with darts instead of peas
or pellets. In Paris the toy shops
keep the tubes on sale, all sorts and
varieties, made simply of metal, or
very elegant looking objects out of
bamboo with an inner copper tube
running through the centre and a
screw top and ferrule to guard it
when it is not in use, something after
the fashion of the better makes of
fishing rods which look exactly like
walking sticks when they are folded
up to put away.
A clever boy can make tube for
himself or he can buy the largest size
pea shooter to be had and then he is
ready to make the dart For this take
a few penholder sticks and cut them
into lengths of two inches. Next get
some worsted and strong waxed
thread. Fill one end of each stick
with the worsted and let series of
oops project beyond. 2ind it around
with the thread. Just how much you
will need you will have to ascertain
by experiment.
For the spike take good sized nail.

Little Red Men and Women.

An Indian baby's first year is spent
strapped up in a tight little cradle,
such as you have seen in pictures.
When the little feet get out of the
cradle they will soon learn to run
about. Then the little red man will
mount on cornstalk and take such
rides as you take on cane or broom.
He would say that his horse is much
better, because it makes such dust.
AS soon as the little red woman is
out of her cradle she begins to carry
a doll or puppy on her back, just as
her mamma used to carry her. She
makes cunning little wigwams, too,
and plays keep house" while her lit
tie brother plays at hunting and fish
ing.
But the little red boys and girls do
not play all the time They learn to
help their mothers, and a good Indian
mother takes great pains to teach her
children to be polite. She teaches
them that they must never ask a per-
son his name. They must never pass
between an older person and the fire,
and they must never, never speak to
older people while they are talking.
When a little red man forgets these
very good rules and is rude. what do
you suppose his mother says to him?
am sure you can never guess. She
says: why will you act like little
white child?" Can it be that these
little red men can teach us lessons in
politeness?

fame until it becomes nearly red hot.
Then plunge 1t into cold water; this
will harden it. Now file of the pro-
jecting end piece of the metal at the
end; lrrre q hole somewhat too small
at the rnd of the stick, force the blunt
end OF the nail into 1t. and then bind
1t round firmly with waxed thread.
Now trim off the ends OF the worsted
and your dart Is complete.
With O three foot tube this dart will
pierce al almost limitless number of
sheets or paper at 10 or ~ feet dis

fly with wonderful accuracy. To take
aim hold both hands close together Be
quick amt decided or your tube will be

puff and dart is quite unlike rifle
shooting End rather more resembles
the shot snu aim of the bow and ar
row. Faster your target on tree and
you are ready for an afternoon s
sport.
In the wilds OF Borneo or on the
pampa3 OF South America the rough
little natives makes these tubes as
long as 10 and IL feet and use tiny
things of darts feathered at one end
and at the other finished with tips
which have been dipped into a terri

in any part of man or tiger, jack

enough to cause immediate DEATH

A Mountain of Glass.

A party of Psychologists and anti
quarians have made important dis
coveries in the hitherto unexplored
region at. the northern limit of the
Harqua Hala range of mountains in
Arizona. A great desert and the total
absence of water have prevented any
previous examination, and only the
Indians know of the curiosities of
these mountains. One side of one
mountain rises in terraces, and pre-
sents many features recalling the
Grand canyon of Colorado. The
whole mass is of obsidian or volcanic
plass and glitters in colors of green,
blue and black. 1t may be seem on
clear mornings at great distances, and
the glitter of the mountain has lured
many travellers In it's direction. The
mountain of glass is a marvel of vol
canic upheaval. 1t is pretty much
as the last eruption left it, except that
where fractures have occurred the
varied and beautiful colors OF the
volcanic glass are brilliantly reflected.
The mountain is dangerous and diff
ficult of ascent, owing to the precip-
itous terrace and the ice-like smooth
ness of the surface. Salt Lake Her.

me the carpenter, but the children call

called a carpenter because l have a
habit of chiseling holes in dead limbs
and the thick bark of some trees, to
store up acorns in fer my winter food.
l am the only one of my family who
does this, and people all over the world
think | am wonderful bird.

I chisel into where he lives and catch
him with my spearlike tongue. 1t is
very handy to always carry your tools
about with you. 1t is easy for me to
stand on the side of a tree or post.
In fact, l prefer to stand that way.
Some bird people cannot do that, but
it is because they have not the right
kind of tail feathers. My tail feath-
ers are stiff, and I turn them down
and use them for prop. Watch me,
and will show you how do it.
when l want to go down a tree
I go down backward. One time had
an accident in doing this. Ny wife
and l live in canyon. and last sum-
mer we built our nest in a hole in
live oak tree near o ranch house.
The people who live there move their
stove out under the trees in summer
and live out doors all day just like
the birds. After the people eat their
breakfast they make great kettle of
mush for the dogs and chickens. The
blUejay and l tasted this mush one
day, and it was very good. After that
used to back down the oak limb back
of the stove every morning after the
mush was cool and eat my breakfast.
One morning l backed down a
black thing over the back of the stove
that looked like limb-and, oh, how
it burned my feet. Nellie, the little
girl who wears a pink sunbonnet,
laughed and said: "Oh, mamma, ia
cob has backed down the stovepipe."

OUR GEOGRAPHIC NAMES.
Spelling and Form in Many Cases Estab
lished by the State Constitution.

Spelling and Form in Many Cases Estab-
lished by the State Constitution.
A number of newspapers have
taken up the remarks of The Eagle
with reference to the action of the
board of geographic names. There
is, however, one aspect of the matter
which has been generally overlooked,
portant place there is an official name,
established by authority, and nothing
but the same authority can change
that name. The constitution of the
state of New York names it's differ
ent counties. The legislature may
erect a new county, and in that case
give it name, otherwise the name
in the constitution is the official
name. The county of Duchess is
spelled Duchess" Anybody who
changes it by dropping the It" or in
any other way, attempts to set up his
authority over that of the constitution
of the state, and what he does is un-
lawful and absurd.
The charter of the city of Pough-
keepsie gives its name spelled as we
always spell it. People can abbre-
viate it if they wish to. We regret
to say that we made the discovery
recently that several respected and
esteemed students of Vassar college
were in the habit of writing it"Poky,"
and we suppose there is no law to
punish them for doing so, but even
in their most exuberant moments, we
do not believe any of them thought
they were really giving the name OF
the place when they spelled it that
way. The charter of the city of New
burgh spells it with an "h" on the
end. The name of the village OF
New Paltz has capital P and is two
separate words.
There are doubtless a good many
little postoffices scattered all over the
country which have no name but that
given by the postoffice department,
and there the board of geographic
names has the right to dictate the
spelling and the form. 1t is in real
ity an adjunct of the postoffice de-
partment. If it had confined it's work
to such postofIices nobody could have
objected, but it has no power to touch
the name of state, a county, city,
or an incorporated village. State au-
thority, recognized by all departments
of the government as supreme, has
settled the question so far as such
names are concerned, and neither the
board, nor the department which ap-
pointed it, nor the president. nor the
United States government itself, has
any control over the matter whatever

Peters Fairy Story.

eff there's anything l hate to do it
is to work." walled Peter, one bright
morning early in August.
Mamma Rust looked stern.
you must pick those berries before
noon," she said. And you must get
your pail and go directly"
Its always pick berries" said the
boy, as he went to find his hat Its
work, work, work. An nobody has to
work but me-"
AS he walked slowly down the mar
row lane his cross and discontinued
face was not pleasant sight.
1t was an attractive place. this berry
pasture back of the house. where the
birds sang as they got their babies
breakfast and the big yellow humble
bees buzzed cheerfully as they hurried
from flower to flower.
The ants were busy, too, running
back and forth, laying up food in the
sandy anthills, and great berry spi-
der was spinning into his web as fast
as ever he could.
Peter noted all these things as he
walked along, and it made him think
a great deal.
II wonder if bugs an birds an fishes
an' snakes have to work." he thought,
al he looked as his bright tin pail.
It didn't seem nearly so large now,
and he say the blueberries peeping out
from beneath their green leaves ev-
crywhere, all over the pasture.
Peter knew away down in his heart
that he could pick two quarts of ber-
ries in less than an hour. In a small
half hour, if he only tried.
Il wonder if everything has to
work." he exclaimed soberly, as he
commenced to pick the berries with a
will.
Tumety-tum they went faster and
faster into his pail The shining bot
tom was covered in a hurry. Very
soon the pail was half full and then
1t was full to overlooking almost be.
fore Peter realized that he had been
picking at all.
Back he trudged to the house. Up
over the stairs he hurried to his moth
er's room, and then he sat down.
I'm going to tell you a fairy story,
mamma" he said.
"Once upon time there was boy,
an he was lazy. He most believed
that nobody had to work, only just
himself. One day he went to pick
some berries, an he didn't want to
one bit When he got to the field he
saw that birds were working, an the
ants were working, an the spiders
were spinning, an he was so s'prised
that he forgot all about being lazy an
picked his berries just ever so fast"
Peter stopped and looked up into
mammals face with his big, brown
eyes.
"An' he's never goin to be lazy
again." he said. solemnly, "'cause all
those bugs an things taught him a
lesson. An he was happy ever after.
he continued slowly, cause that's
the way fairy stories always end,
mamma Do you know who that lazy
boy was in my fairy story?" he asked,
eagerly.
81 shouldn't wonder il his name was
Peter" answered mamma, smiling.
81 shouldn't wonder is it was, toe"
said Peter.-Youths' Companion.

Poetry In Puddings.

I want to give those young people
that are longing for literary life a
thought from one who has caught the
true spirit of poetry. She has dis
covered way to keep her pen from
disturbing the editors. A cultivated
woman, teacher by profession, she
has been compelled by considerations
eli health to give up her chosen work
and devote herself to housework. And
she has made it into poetry. When
she evolves, out of meek-looking flour
and yeast, mounds of delicious nut
brown loaves, she names them her
poem, and the title of it is "A Glori-
Gus Sunrise" Her 'Nymphs of the
Woodland" take shape as a delicious
berry pie, with flaky pastry covers
AS she goes about her ever-changing,
often crowding tasks, she conceives
of herself as writing novel in rhyme,
a three-volumcd one. am sure; and
the title is Her Toll Drowned Hands. !"
