Almost historic is the remark of the
awe-stricken lad who. while observing
the great meteroic display of 1893,
turned his eyes to a familiar corner of
the heavens after an especially brill
liant flight of meteors, drew a long
breath, and gasped:
well, the old Dippers still there,
anyhow
Much more recently a similar spec
tacle, although In this instance a dis
play no greater than is ordinarily look
ed for in August skies, disturbed the
tranquility Of little girl whose
father, an enthusiastic amateur astron-
omer, had taken her up on the roof
with him to see the sight. He expected
her to be delighted with the shooting
stars, but he soon observed that her
expression was scarcely a joyous one.
What Is it, Ada?" he asked her.
Don't you like to watch them. Aren't
you enjoying yourselfT'
"Ye-es, papa" she answered, dubi-

Grafton upon a child over twenty years

hanging helpless by its side. The sur

to save the limb.
Small sections OF the bone taken
from the tibia and other portions OF

WOMEN IN NEW EMPLOYMENT.

Hired to Run Elevators In Buildings
Devotel to Female Interests.
Women always seem to be able to
establish some kind Of new work. Now
Boston has In several buildings de
voted to women's interests, or patron
lied by women. girls employed to run
the elevators. The Idea was introduced
by the Women's Educational and In
dustrial Union, and the Young Won
ems Christian Association soon fol-
lowed.
Except for one janitor," said the
superintendent OF the latter lnstitu.
ton, 1--WE are all women around here.
and to have two or three boys about
to run the elevator was an unmltlgated
nuisance. SO we discharged the boys
and hired the girls. Since then we
have been much more comfortable"
The New England Hospital for Won
en- in Roxbury has also introduced ele-
vator girls, and some Of the millinery
and womens furnishing goods stores
in Boston are taking up the Idea.
The girls are all doing the work ia
the complete satisfaction of their en-
ployers and have at the same time
suggested a solution for the perplexing
question Of what to do with n girl
who has to earn money at an early
age. She can run an elevator until
she Is old enough or has acquired the
necessary training for something bet
ter. Formerly she might have been a
cash girl, but now various mechanical
devices are taking the place OF the
cash girl and leaving her without en-
ployment. Several Of the girls en-
ployed as elevator girls in the build
ings just mentioned are studying for
better positions, and one is glad to
earn SO week while her eyes are
recovering from the strain Of her high
school course.
To run an elevator is not difficult
work. but requires careful attention
to business. For this reason. accord
ing to the testimony of their employ
ers. girls can do It better than boys.
They are more conscientious and trust
worthy. The girls seem to enjoy the
work, and though the hours are long
the work is not firing. At the Young
Women's Christian Association the
elevator girl goes on duty at I o'clock

siEnnlna IN SWEDEN
Only Country in which the sparkstof-
ting Is In Common Use.

Only Country in Which the sparkstof-
ting Is In Common Use.
The swedes have made a fine art OF
shedding. Their fastest sled is called
the sparkstotting and is an exceed
ingly light sled that the inhabitants
Of Norrland, a province situated at the
north Of Sweden, employ during the
winter as a means OF locomouon.
The use Of it now extends through
out Sweden, where races upon this
original vehicle constitute one OF the
most highly appreciated sports Of win
ter. Among other people Of the north'
in Russia, Scotland and Germany, this
sport is entirely unknown, a fact that
is somewhat extraordinary, considering
that the sparkstotting can be employ
ed in all countries in which the rigors
Of winter permit of the use Of ordi-
nary sleds.
The sparkstotting is constructed en-
tirely of Norway spruce. 1t is straight,
Of elongated form and weighs no more
than thirty pounds. II consists Of two
runners, curved upward in front, and
six and one-half feet in length. To
each of the runners is fixed an upright
that serves both as a point Of support
and a tiller. The entire affair is con-
nected by two or three crosspieces, one
OF which supports a light seat placed
twelve inches above the surface.
The Norrland sled differs percepti-
bly, from the Vesterbotten type, in
which the runners, which are much
shorter, are not shod with iron, but
are well creased or impregnated with
boiling tar. The lightest and best type
for racing is the one manufactured at
Umea, Norway. In order to push the
sparkstotting the racer, bearing with
both hands upon the extremities Of
the uprights, places his left foot upon
the runner to the left, and then with
the right foot strikes the ground at
regular intervals so as to propel the
sled forward.
If the snow is very hard and the
racer is not provided with spiked shoes
il is necessary for him to fix steel calks
to the soles. In recent times a hori-
zontal bar. breast high, has been placed
between the uprights. This modifica-
ton renders the steering easier and
besides permits of governing with a
single hand. Upon level route the
sparkstotting reaches a pretty good
speed without great effort.
n oUnardannnd -
snow is in good condition, can easily
attain the speed of a horse on a trot.
In ascents it is necessary to push the
sparkstotting or to drag 1t, but this
does not cause much fatigue, owing
to its llghtness and the feeble surface
in contact with the snow. With this
sled 1t is possible to run very fast.

WONDER OF NATURE.
GRAND CANYON OF ARIZONA a
MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
Sublime Scenery Laid Out by Nature
Holds Man in Its Spell - Great chasm
Miles Across Is a Mecca for the
Tourist.

The Grand Canyon Of Arizona Is
within a government forest reservation
sixty by eighty miles in size. About
two thirds Of it is on the eastern ana
the other third on the western side.
The timber is In fairly good condition.
There was a bad fire two years ago
which ruined several hundred acres Of
fine forest, but there is little danger
Of its recurrence because Of the vigil
ance OF Captain Fenton, the superin-
tedent, and his corps Of foresters.
1t Is thirteen miles from one rim Of
the canyon TO that on the opposite side
and there are two trails by which the
western side may be reached. One Of
them, the Bright Angel Trail, is oppo-
site the new hotel, and although it IS
eighteen or twenty miles to the top
the climb is comparatively easy. 1t
follows stream Of clear, pure cold
water which comes tumbling down a
narrow canyon on the western side
and Major Powell during his first
memorable exploration Of the canyon
called It the Bright Angel River be
cause it was such a grateful discovery
Captain Fenton says that the coun
try on the western side of the canyon
is much better than that on the east
ern side; that the timber is larger an(
thicker, water is more abundant, ant
there are great many deer and othei
big game The forest reserve includes
a strip OF thirty miles along the edg,
Of the canyon. and west Of that, to tn,
