WAY STATIONS.

There will be SO tunnels on the route
of the new Denver, Northwestern and
Pacific railway within distance of 26
miles, through the Rockies 1t is esti-
mated that it will require 900, 000 pounds
of powder to blast 21l miles of this route.
-Four Track News.
The Highland railway company Of
Great Britain announces that it has
completed arrangements for telephone
communication between trains and sta
lions on its line, thus not only greatly
lessening the danger of wrecks on the
road but also enabling its passengers
to communicate with friends and busi-
ness associates while travelling from
place to place.
At the beginning Of the last century
the royal college of Bavarian physicians
sought to forbid steam railway travel,
because 1t would induce delirium flu
riosum among the passengers and drive
the spectators crazy; while an English
quarterly said that it would as soon ex-
pect the people to suffer themselves to
be tied to one of Congreve's rockets as
to trust themselves to the mercy OF a
locomotive going at the prodigious rate
Of IL miles an hour.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and Su2phuric
Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
licited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
powder-"cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme of
some baking powder manufacturer to
get new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer large profit. House
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are we'll known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed of
sharp-pointed grains Of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most of the so-cal1ed phosphate pow
ders are mixed nth alum. The manu-
facturer of phospl ate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get a brand well known
to be made of cream of tartar, which is
q healthful product Of the grape.

CURIOUS PREDICTIONS.
Astounding Prophecies Concerning
Twentieth Century Made i'm
Curious London Book.

In London there is much talk at pres
Reign of George VI, 1900-1925," which
was published in 1863, and copy of
which was recently discovered
The author makes some astounding
prophecies about the twentieth century.
Russia, he says, will conquer not only
Finland and the Crimea, but also the
Scandinavian peninsula, and will be-
come the steadfast ally OF France, which
will be governed by the Bourbons. In
Germany, he predicts, the Hapsburgs
will be displaced by the Hohenzollerns,
and Sin 1903 the ruler will be Frederick
TX, very weak monarch, who will be
controlled in all things by his wife. y
The whole of Italy, he maintains, will be
ruled by one king, and ''the patrimony
taken away from the church"
England, according to him, will be
wonderfully powerful at the beginning
of the twentieth century, and as proof
thereof he says that Gin 1920 the British
colonies Of North America will have no
less than 100000 inhabitants" GU
rious statement in view of the fact that
there are now more than 100000 per-
sons in the United States and Canada.
OF the two great revolutions-the
French and the American-the author
says not word, and hence as prophet
he does not hold very high rank. Still,
there are few notable predictions in his
book in regard to certain striking events
of the last century, and therefore those
who like this kind of literature are glad
that the old work has been brought to
light again.

A clergyman in New Jersey hired a man
to act in the capacity of coachman and
gardener. One day the clergyman bought
a bottle of horse ointment, and told the

About an hour afterward he went to
the barn, and found Silas industriously dip
ping a spike into the liniment and then
rubbing it against the horses leg.
What are you doing that for?" he
asked.
The man looked up with a smile of assur-

The Strange Case

eeDEAR JUDITH: While l am
panied to write that Rufus Dent,

rested on a charge of burglary, with the
circumstances all against him, | must
confess that [ am not surprised. When
one lives beyond his means, something
is bound to happen in the long run. You
will therefore see the propriety-nay,
the necessity-of thinking no more OF
that marriage which you were both look
ing forward to and which never really
had my sanction. This should remind
you that the judgment Of mature busl-
ness man is to be trusted rather than
the promptings of sentiment. ! hope
you are recovering rapidly now from
your unfortunate attack of fever.

HOW sCALLopS ARE TAKEN.
They Are the Most Expensive She'll
fish tu the Market-On1y the
Eye. Eaten.

"Have you ever gone scalloping?"
asked the Rhode Islander, after he had
eaten a clam chowder, some broiled blue
fish, half broiled live lobster, a half
dozen ancnovies, and was helping him
self to liberal portion of scallops, re-
lates the New York Tribune.
by scalloping | suppose you mean
fishing for scallops," replied the New
York drygoods merchant who had in
idence to dine with him.
That's it, that's it. Only we sort of
dig them up Ever seen it done?''
The New Yorker only shook his head.
He was still wondering how his friend
could make a whole meal off such con-
glomerate assortment of sea food, and
not want to take to water himself, as his
natural element.
well, then, / suppose you wonder
where this round, meaty, fishy scallop
comes from?" continued the Rhode Is
lander. "The scallop shell, as you know,
is fat with as wavy an edge as that of
a freshly futed petticoat. It's beauti-
full shell. The Crusaders used to wear
them, when they came back from Pales-
tine. to show they had been there. Lots
of scallops along the Syrian coast.
Well, I'll tell you. The scallop that you
eat is only what we call the eye of the
animal But it isn't actually the eye
It's the big meaty muscle which holds
the two halves of the shell together,
and which opens and shuts them as the
scallop may desire 1t fills up the round
socket near the hinge. So when a seal
lop man is preparing this food for the
market, he just scoops out the eye and
throws all the rest away. He doesn't
ship them in the shell to the market,
the same as clans and oysters Only
the eyes"
For that reason, should think,
they would be less expensive. Not so
much money for freight" remarked the
host.
'You might think so, but as matter
of fact scallops are the most expensive
kind of shellfish we have. There is so
much waste One bushel of scallop
shells will only make about three
quarts or a gallon of food The scallop
digger gets as much as SO cents quart
for his product, and here in New York
they cost two or three times as much
81 shouldn't think there was much
money in digging them at that rate
ventured the New Yorker.
''You would think SO, but in reality It
is just the opposite. A man can make
$40 day at least at the business, and if
he is hustler he can earn four times
that much. Of course you can't dig them
out the year round but they're a good
thing while they last. The scallop sea-
son in Rhode Island just opened the
first of this month, and one minute past
midnight the men swooped down on the
scallop beach in the Narragansett river
like SO many Oklahoma squatters A
man can catch only 20 bushels day, but
usually the scallop digger fools the fish
wardens by going from one bed to an
other. He'll dig up 20 bushels in one
place, go ashore and show what he has
to the warden, and then sail down the
bay five or ten miles to another bed, dig
up 20 more and land his cargo before the
first warden can communicate with the
second officer who inspects the second
catch -

He'd like to have youtread,
If one were picking out the skies
To arch above your head,
No doubt he'd pick the same old ways,
And skies the same bright blue,
AS those old ways and those blue skies
That his own boyhood knew.
And so / wish for you the things
/ think may bring you joy;
That you may be a harum- scarum,
Good old-fashioned boy;
That you may, where the placid branch
Lies whipping in the sun,
Shuck off your duds and swim anc nave
Some good old-fashioned fun.
That you may climb the wooded hills,
And find a grapevine swing;
That you may know and mock the tunes
OF all the birds that sing;
That you may find sweetheart wee,
And take your knife and mark
Her name and yours, heart-bordered, IN
Some craggy oak trees bark.
For If you know not things like these,
These good old-fashioned joys,
The good old ways and things we loVeo
When we were little boys,
Manhood won't mean go much to you.
Nor be so full of joy;
And SO just wish you may be
good old-fashioned boy.
