two years is more than plenty. If the

Of incompetents or crooks than present

A New England senator's fair constituent
is enraged with him for not hurrying her
pension claim, reports the Washington
Post. She has written him a tart letter,
wherein she expresses herself in this terse
and picturesque fashion;
This beautiful government, for which
my husband gave his health and for which
we lost our home, requires q good wife and
mother months and years TO keep swearing
and swearing to even her marriage and
other things too numerous to mention. I
wish the whole Pension department was
Obliged to go, as 1 do. without their over
coats or decent underelothes. 1 wish l

from them until they we're purple as any

In all crustaceans. as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature. there is a
certain per cent of iron. Upon boiling
the lobster is oxidized. The effect is
largely due also 10 the percentage OF
muriatic acid which exists naturally in
the shell. The chemical change which
takes place here is almost similar TO
that which occurs in the burning of a
brick. In boiling lobster its coat
ceases to be living substance, and to a
certain extent it takes a new charac-
ter.
1t is as brick would be after burn
ing This effect can also be produced
by the sun. but necessarily not so rap
id. as the heat of that luminary, al
though more intense. is not concentrat-
ed sufficiently to produce the result
The sun also exercises bleaching in
huence which consumes the oxide al
most as fast as IL is formed, leaving
the shell white or nearly pure lime.

Asking Ques,ions of the Cuckoo.

A curious legend regarding the
cuckoo is found among the Danes,
which, with some notifications. is like
wise current in many parts of Ger

voice of the cuckoo is first heard in
the woods every village girl kisses her
hand ana asks the question. Cuckoo.

the old folks inquire, Cuckoo. cuckoo.
when shall | be released from this
worlds cares" The bird in answer
continues singing Cuckoo as many
times as years will elapSe before the
object of their desires will come 10
pass.
But as some old people live TO an ad-
vanced age and many girls marry late
in life the poor bird has SO much 10
do in answering the questions put TO
her that the building season goes by;
she has no time 10 make her nest, but
lays her eggs In that of the hedge

The deacon raised his stick and his
quavering voice at the same time.

said as clearly as he could. IL won't

Miraculous Escapes From Death
Shaft Broke.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 30.-The break
ing of shaft on the first floor Of the
II. j. Heinz companys plant, in Ale
gheny, Monday released the ropes sup
porting a large freight elevator on
which twenty-three persons were
crowded. The cage fell from the fifth
floor into the cellar, distance Of
torty.five feet, and everyone on the
elevator was injured. 1t is thought
that at least two will die.
The seriously injured are: John
Churney, Allegheny, both legs broken,
will likely die; Mrs. Edward Holman
Mt. Hope, n. j., injury TO spine, prob
ably die; Joseph Weber, Allegheny
both legs broken, condition serious.
When the accident occurred the ele-
vator was evidently overcrowded. Ac-
cording TO what was told last evening
by DR.. J. S. Phillips, physician at the
plant, the antics Of two men on the
elevator, who were intoxicated, caused
the disaster DR.. Phillips says the
two men crowded on the car after be.

Once on they commenced jumping,
with the result that the shaft snapped

No Disorder.
According to the story told by VIII.
lam Koncano, a dry goods merchant Of
Cleveland, last night at the hospital
there was no disorder in the crowd.
All but two Of the injured were VS.
itors TO the Heinz plant
An examination Of the shaft and ma
chinery showed that those injured mar
rowly escaped instant death, as the
750-pound weight at the side OF the
shaft shot 10 the roof of the building
ripped through the timbers at the top
and fell half its length through the
ceiling over the sixth floor. Had the
timbers been a little less stout, the
huge weight would have fallen nearly
sixty feet upon the mass of injured
people huddled in heap on the floor
Of the demolished elevator. The break
occurred in a place impossible to be
detected by the inspectors, as 1t was
inside the large drum.
