You say" she murmured as she watched the moonlight on the sea, "that I am an angel?"
 Yes"
 She was silent for long time.

Those Lucky Boston Girls.

Miss Beenz never gets nervous about the heat.'
 But she's from Boston, you know"
 "Yes, I fancied so She scowled horribly when I split an infinitive yesterday. But why does that save her from worrying over the heat:"
 She never knows how hot it really is."
 Explain"
 'Why, when she takes the thermometer from the hook her hands are so cold that the mercury gets a chill and falls down in a comatose condition, and by the time she can bring her nearsighted spectacles to bear on the tube the freezing point is in sight. 'Fifty-three,' she said yesterday as she stared at the thermometer. Isn't it singular how the imagination will affect the human mind? Now, 1 don't-calI that hot And it was actually 9l degrees in the shade!"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Did Not Get What He Wanted.

The late Rev R. s. Storrs was very hard man to interview, for he resented tho inQuisitivencss of the press and was icy to it's agents. One evening a reporter at- tended a reception at his house, and in tho course of the evening touched his arm and whispered: Doctor, I'm from the -; want the names of guests and all the par ticulars.' ''Yes," Dr. Storrs whispered in return, "this way, this way" and, taking the young mans arm, he escorted him to the front door and put him out.-Chicago Chronicle.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The agricul- tural department is preparing to pub fish report by Edward G. Warde, Jr., and Edwin $. Holmes, Jr., on truck farming and the transportation of fruits and vegetables in the United States. The report covers the fol- lowing points:
 Scope of the Report.
 IA description of the transporta- tion of fruits and vegetables from southern truck farms to northern markets.
 PA description of the California fruit industry and the movement of California fruits to interior points and Atlantic seaboard cities.
 3-Freight rates and refrigerator charges on perishable products in all important sections of the country.
 Reviewing the general growth of these.interests the report says:
 Distinct Agricultural Industry.
 Truck farming in the United States has been recognized as a distinct agri- cultural industry for a period of about forty years.
 The increasing population of the cities and d consequent demand for a greater quantity and larger variety of vegetables at all seasons of the year, the changed conditions and the surplus of labor in the south after the close of the civil war and the building of many thousands of miles of new railways have given this indus
  try an impetus which has caused it to develop with remarka ble activity and large areas throughout the entire country are now devoted almost ex- clusively 10 the growing of what is known as garden truck.
 Affects the Southern States.
 This is the especially true of all the southern states where, from late win ter until early autumn, thousands and thousands of acres are under cultiva- tion to supply northern markets with fruits and vegetables, there being hardly a northern city of any size which is not receiving it's out-of-sea- son garden truck. The southern farms.
 Many of the improved facilities which have been adopted by the freight departments of our roads are directly attributa ble to the handling of perishable agricultural products. Routes have been shortened, through schedules adopted, motive power in- creased and by the use of ventilation, refrigeration, speed and quick deliv- cry, the railroads are enabled to place the truck in the northern markets in as good condition as when it left the southern farm, even when it neces- sitates journey of many hundreds of miles.
 Seasons ObIiterated. Such thing as a particular season for any kind of vegetable in our prin- cipal markets is at this time prac- tically unknown, and it is now possi- ble to draw upon the different sec tions of the country and receive at any season of the year nearly all the standard varieties of vegetables. In the late autumn and early spring Florida and the southern states fur nish the supply for the northern mar kets until the advancing season (which moves northward at the rate of about 15 miles a day) natures the crops through the eastern and cen- tral states; these states supply the midsummer and autumn markets un- til the frosts of winter once more compel a return to the south, where a fresh crop is at the command of the 1,l<et

In fact, it is said. they are capable of
going through their performance with
out one word of command from the

and comprises some of the most diff
cult acts ever attempted by dumb
animals. In addition to their bright
ness. they are the most docile specimens
ever seen. very fond of children and
as playful as eats. They play many

Of the company. such as stealing their

Of that sort. They We're imported

@ Will Ceatinus, Today.

The first Of the list OF casualties that
usually accompany the Fourth Of July
celebration occurred. last night, when
Ethel Gearside. who lives on the East
side. received the discharge from a
blank cartridge fun in the face.
1t seems she was walking with a gen.
tlsman on Water street and when in
front Of kinsman's drug store a young
fellow standing on the curbing dis
charged revolver. II Is not known
that there was any intentional injury,
but the charge Of powder struck the
girl in the face.
She was taken to the office OF DIR.
Campbell. where II was found that the
powder had entered her right cheek,
some Of 1t penetrating her eye and lip.
Part OF the powder was removed and
the injury was rendered less painful.
Fred Common. messenger at the Pos
tai Telegraph Cos. office. received a
charge of powder from a cavalry rife
In his face and neck last night, but
the the injuries resulting were nothing
serious and practically all the powder
was removed. Some Of the charge
came very near his left eye He held
the rife In his own hands and the
muzzle pointed away from him. the
charge coming from the brcech Of the

From New England the lines of the
Boston & Maine are the most direct to
Buffalo. The service by this line is not
only the quickest, but is the most COM

through Northern Massachusetts
known as the Hoosac Tunnel or Deer
field Valley route is one Of the most
charming and picturesque in the coun-
try, and the rate to the Pan-American
city or Niagara is exceptionally low.
For tourists from Boston & Maine
