A Novelty ia Railroad Education.

The novel project of running a pa
latial special train from Chicago tt
New Orleans and return, distance oil
nearly 10000 miles. for the sole bene
fit of competitors was successfully car
ried out by the officials of the Illinois
Central Railroad last week. Nearly
100 general passenger agents and
members of their families were tie
guests of the Illinois Central during
the trip, everything, including musi-
cal entertainments in the observation
car, being provided by the company.
Had anyone undertaken to purchase
the service and entertainment provid-
ed the cost could not have been far
from $1,000. The train was, SO to
speak. an edition de luxe, the Pullman
Company certifying that the new cars
furnished we're the finest ever manu-
featured by them, and the engineers
and train crew were the most expert
in the employ of the railroad company.
The novelty of the affair consists
largely in the fact that few years ago
railroad companies strove to keep
from competitors accurate knowl-
edge of conditions along their lines
Of railroad. Excluding the COM
plimentary feature, the main purpose
Of the Illinois Central expedition was
to educate competing lines regarding
the unexcelled transportation facilities
possessed by that company, and the
possibilities which lie in the develop

agents who were on the trip were

In doing this they will be advertis-

Angel Causes Dumb to Speak.

Crowds Of pilgrims are nocking to
Kerhous, village near Brest
France. to see Marie Raguenes. q
farm servant. who has been cured OF
dumbness in miraculous manner.
The woman is forty years old. When
she was twelve she lost the power Of
speech az the result Of fright. and
none OF the specialists who attended
her was able to relieve her affection.
Recently while eating her dinner she
astonished her fellow servants nv
saying clearly and distinctly:
Il can speak. Give me some bread. !"
Marie then explained that a few
days before an angel appeared to her
and said:
In the name Of God announce to
you that at IL o'clock next Wednesday
you will recover your speech"
At the appointed time the woman
spoke after silence OF nearly thirty
years.

GREAT PIPE.
viii Hold a Whole River for Nearly
Six Thousand Feet.

six tnOuSano + eet.
Steel is the material to be used by
the Ontario Power company in the con-
struction of its PROPOSED big flume on
the Canadian side at Niagara Falls.
This fume will be one of the largest
steel pipes in the world. 1t will have
a diameter Of IS feet and will be $3.50
feet long. The steel plates from which
it will be made have a thickness Of
half an inch, and in putting them to-
gether over 200 tons of rivets will be
used. It's diameter is so large that it
would be impossible to put it together
at any machine shop and ship it to
Niagara, and so temporary plant for
building it will be erected on the Ca
madam side at Niagara
This temporary plant will consist Of
power house, a machine shop, boiler
shop, Office and boarding house. To
carry the parts from the shops to the
point where they will enter into the
large flue or pipe, a temporary railroad
will be built along the route Of the
Hume to handle the steel. 1t is such
mammoth contract that to build the
fume will take from 10 to 16 months.
1t was intimated some little time ago
that the Ontario Power company would
use California redwood in the con-
struction of this flume. 1t was also
intimated that other woods would have
favor, and the fact is careful research
was made and a thorough investiga-
ton made of other notable fumes car
rying water in the country. These
fumes are not so numerous in the east
as they are in the west, but after all
the research steel has been adopted as
the material to be used. Advocates Of
wood claimed that a steel flume would
rust and rot out quicker than flume
made of wood, but the fact was evident
that should the fiume be built of wood
steel hoops would have to be used to
make it firm, and these stood just as
much chance of going to pieces as the
all steel fiume

along the base of bluff at the rear Of
Park to point just below
Table rock, the famous view point, and
there it's waters will be diverted
through penstocks to turbines to be in
stalled in power house at the waters
edge. The flume, from an engineering
point will be we'll worth watching dur
ing the construction, for no doubt it
will have important features.-Phila-

WISDOM OF THE BEE.
Leaent Of the Visit Of the Queen Of
0heba to kino Solomon.

Leaent Of the Visit Of the Queen Of
aheba to King Solomon.
Here is the legend Of the visit OF
the Queen Of Sheba 40 King Solo
mon," said the Pascagoula Diogenes
in the Rotunda of the Great Southern
hotel. Gulport, Sunday. The queen
reigned over people that lived on
the border of the Red Sea, who were
the richest in Arabia. They were rep
resented leading an idle life, owing to
the abundance of natural produce of
their country, which afforded the sus-
tenance Of life and also frankincense,
myrrh, cinnamon and balsam that
gave them an extensive commerce
with other nations.
"The queen, owing to the splendid
reputation af King Solomon, whose
power and wisdom had spread to the
remotest parts Of the world, visited
him at his own court. Presenting her.
self at the foot of his throne, in each
Of her hands she held a wreath OF
f1oNers-one composed of natural
the} other Of artificial. Art, in the
labor of the mimic wreath, had ex
Guisitely emulated the lively hues OF
nature; so that at the distance it was
held by the queen to exercise the sa
gacity OF the monarch for his judg
ment, it was deemed impossible fol
him to decide which wreath was the
production Of nature, and which the
work of art. Solomon was, for a mo
ment, perpleSed; yet, to be vanquish
ed by woman irritated his pride
AN expedient presented itself to
the king by a swarm Of bees on the
outside of window, which he order
ed opened: the bees rushed in the
court and alighted on one Of the
wreaths, while not single one fixec
on the other. Sheba was baffled anc
was convinced of the wisdom Of Solo
mon. Such is the story handed dowr
that the bee only rests on the natura
beauties, and never fixes on the paint
ed flowers. however inimitable the
color may be laid on."-New Orleans

were worked on the five candidates.
The candidates were Mrs. l.. W. Sib-

After the initiation the harvest
feast was served which was a great
success. The feast was in reality a
full course dinner and fully 100 of the
113 members of the Grange were pres
ent to enjoy it. The coffee which
was used was a gift from Kellogg g.
Jerome.
Each member was requested to bring
some products of the farm, and the hall
was a mass of flowers and vegetables
of all descriptions. Among the feat
ures of this display we're the eighteen
varieties of apples by Henry Temple

A discussion arose during the even-
