Fine Piece to Concrete Work.

The double box oulvert on the p. 81
II. Railway east of the station will be
completed in few days time. Yes
terday afternoon work was begun on
concreting the top of the eastern and
the last of the two culverts. The
double box culvert as il approaches
completion begins to show up as the
finest piece of concrete work ever con-
structed in this section.
= Not only are the walls of the dou BILE
culvert of concrete but the roof of
each division is of the same material.
First of all the top was covered with
railroad iron, twenty eight feet long.
1t required just l03 of such rails par al
lei with the direction of the track and
about foot apart to reach from the
northern to the southern end of the
culvert. A form is constructed under
the rails on which the concrete is
built. The latter attains only foot
or so of thickness and as it solidifes
re-enforoed by the railroad iron. which
is entirely concealed, it becomes cap
able of sustaining almost any weight.
The structure described will have
almost mountain to support. The
top of the culvert is only some twelve
feet from the ground. All the rest of
the big washout to the track overhead
will have to be filed up. Some idea
of the gap to be filled can be obtained
by rejecting that the length of the
double culvert, which forms the base
of the embankment, is just 1873 feet.
From this width at the bottom the
embankment built up will taper to the
width of a single track on top.
Engineer Yetter of Catawissa who
planned the culvert estimates that it
will require five hundred car loads OF
slate and coal dirt to complete the
job. all of which will be shipped here
from the coal regions.

There was nothing brilliant about
Parkinson. Indeed, his mental proc
esses We're decidedly slow He was
the sort of man who would listen TO u
capital story with the face of a craven
image, null over 1t the rest Of the even
ing, and perhaps at midnight. when
quite alone, he would discover the point
and ha-ha uproariOusly. Withal. Par
klnson was a man to be depended
upon. You always knew where to find
him. You were sure that what he said
he meant and that what he meant he
would stick TO through thick and thin.
He was tall, broad of shoulder, and
his homely face radiated good nature.
Although the bulk Of the great Parktn-
son fortune was his, he sat daily before
a desk In the office of Thorpe & Toll
man. The fact that a fellow had a
little money did not render him exempt
from honest work, said Parkinson, and
this was why the foreign accounts Of
Thorpe 4 Tollman were kept In his
round, boyish handwriting and also
why Parkinson received S15 at noon
every Saturday, which sum- be 1t stat
ed, did not cover the cost of his lunches
and cigars.
Now, when 1t came time for Parkin-
son to fall in love, he did it as he did
everything else-slowly, methodically,
with a painstaking regard for detail.
The young woman about whom he
finally found his affections centering-
another man would have made the dis
covery fully six months earlier than
did Parkinson-was a certain Miss
Margery Reeves, a joyous, happy, ra-
diant creature, whom Parkinson wor-
SHIPPED with all the tenacity Of his
stold nature.
Miss Reeves regarded Parkinson as
a big, good natured, brotherly fellow
trife slow and obtuse at times, but
always the most dependable Of her
satellites. The exact nature Of her at
titude toward him Parkinson did not
discover until one afternoon when they

A Gallant QuiKote

Northerners have got so accustomed
to the curt demands of street railway
employees to step lively" and Move
up 'front.' that the phrases have lost
much of their harshness. Crowded
traffic requires that men and women
should step lively for their own good
In order that the cars may make
schedule time.
In the south, where the stress of life
is not so rude and the fine natural
courtesy Of the southerner has leisure
to flourish, the manners of an employee
of a northern street railway would not
be tolerated; hence a refreshing little
scene recorded In the Outlook.
An inexperienced middle aged south
erner mounted the platform Of a car
In a northern city. The conductor. not
dreaming of harm, had just propelled
a fair looking woman into the crowded
interior with the customary push and
the words, Step lively"
The southerner took the center of
the situation by saying to him in an
intense voice:
You dare lay your hands upon an
other lady and I'll knock you of the
carl!
The faces Of the downtrodden race
Of passengers lighted up. The con
ductor stared, then realized the situa.
ton. AS long as the southerner rode
on the platform the amenities Of life
were observed.
1t was Don Quixote against the wind
mills of stress and struggle and bust
ness hurry, but nowadays America
needs Don Quixote in n good many
places.

clerk.
NO" replied the man. Il don't
know what to do. You see, it's this
way: She lives IN the city, but she IS

On the same day q man approached
the window and, thrustlng in a money
order. asked for the cash. The clerk,
after inspecting 1t, handed 1t back. re-
marking:
I'VE don't cash these here This IS

fdentially: Il know this is the foreign

STAN M ERING.
The Cure That One Sufferer Invented
May Help Others.

May Help Others.
Among the minor arts of great i'm
portance is the self cure Of stammer-
Ing, which comes upon SO many in
early youth. In the memoir of the
author Of John Inglesant" which his
widow prepared, we read rather
touching confession. II contracted the
habit Of stammering," wrote Mr.. Short
house to Lady Welby, "as a delicate
little boy of three at large day school.
1t was not such misfortune as might
be supposed. For without this thorn
In the flesh John Inglesant would
never have been written or conceived,
and much which is very dear to me IN
philosophy would have been un-
known" Few stammerers can bring
forth a classic from their affliction,
and some would even refuse the au-
thor's fame at the price OF the speak
er's embarrassments.
In many cases the self cure of stam-
merinR Is easy. The present writer
was a sufferer when n boy at a day
school. He set himself to invent the
cure. 1t was absolutely necessary, he
found, that the opening syllable Of a
sentence should be said several times
before the sentence was under way

cue before the correct strOke). 1t oc-

done silently So that little boy STAN

closed lips, imagining himself TO be

the requisite number of "tut-tut-tuts"
or "gug-gug- -gugs" had been achieved
in silence to start the sentence. Since
then he has never stammered-aloud~

MINOR MATTERS
on INTEREST

Thomas O. Curry who during the
past summer cultivated the lot at the
lower end of West Mahoning street
was yesterday engaged in storing
away the crop of onions which he
raised The lot comprises one and a
half acres. The growing crop present
ed a very interesting appearance dur
ing the summer. Mr.. Curry was very
proud of his onions aud gave them
close attention As they approached
maturity there were good many con-
lectures as to what the yield would
be. The guesses varied considerably
All will be interested to know that
the exact yield is five hundred and
thirty three bushels. All Of which
shows that Mr. Curry although the ac-
tive years of his life have been given
to other pursuits is nevertheless some
thing of a truck man and might be
able to give practical gardeners few
pointers.
For the benefit of those who may
wonder what there is in Mr.. Currys
crop we will state that at the present
time onions are retailing at the rate
of one dollar per bushel.
