COAL RACE ON OHIO RIVER.
How Spring Floods Are Used to Trans'
 port 6,oOO ,OOO Bushsls.

How Spring Floods Are Used to Trans-
 port 6,oOO, ,oOO Bushsls.
 From Pttsburg there are shipped down the Ohio river every year 6,ooo,- 900 bushels of coal. But the Ohio Is shallow stream except when 1t is in flood, says the New York Tribune, and the fleets of towboats and barges are tied up sometimes for months at a time waiting for enough water to float them.
 At the first signs of the rise" of the river messages begin to flash back ward and forward, fires are lighted un- der the boilers of the great towboats, barges formed into fleets, provisions and hands secured for the long trip.
 To form these long fleets three, four or five barges and coal boats, which have a capacity of 500 and 1000 tons respectively, are lashed abreast with strong chains. They are formed in a line or to a depth manageable by the low rear-wheeled boats that guide them on their journey. Then. amid the shrill shrieks of the many whistles and the flashing of the searchlights, the long, clumsy fleet begins to move.
 But as the needed depth is only tenn porary the 8,00o,oO bushels of coal has to make its escape on the crest of the flood. This, of course, means a race down the shallow, twisting river, through the many locks to the broader and deeper sections, where the tows are doubled and taken in charge by larger tugs.
 AS odd, primitive and uncertain as this method of transportation appears. 1t involves q capital of over $5O,OOO.- 900, has 6 registered tonnage greater than any other river, sea or lake port in the United States, affects the indus tries of a region 100000 square miles in area and affects a waterway 1900 miles in length,

FORGING FLOWERS BY FIRE.
Remarkable Result of a Confagration
 in a French Town.

Remarkable Result of a Condagration
 in a French Town.
 That flowers can be forced by heat such as is usually supplied to glass houses, is, of course, an old story, but that the direct action of fire heat can have any effect in hastening the blooming of plants is fresh sugges. ton, but one that in these days, when flowers are demanded in season, out of season, at all times and of every kind and country, is worth considera- ton. Great events have frequently sprung from the smallest of the most apparently indirect causes, and a seri- ous fire that broke out last September at Chenseesur- Marne, between Chalons and Viry-le-Francois, in France, while 1t destroyed the greater part of pop ulous village, running many of its in. habitants, may yet have as a result the even greater development of an industry that gives employment to thousands of people.
 The fire, which ragged on one side of the village, made clean sweep of ev- erything before 1t in the way of build. ings, and only paused when there was nothing to lick up except the orchards that once formed a hedge between the homesteads and the open country. Even then 1t was hardly satiated, for 1t greedily devoured the first two rows of apple and pear trees, leaving noth- ing but cinde1; the next three rows, though badly scorched, were not quite destroyed, the farthest away being naturally the least affected. Some of the boughs escaped all hurt, and it was with these that the very curious phenomenon was observed which mer- its attention. A second towering com. menced at once, and by the end of Oc- tober all the trees farthest from the scene of the fire were in full bloom, as though called to renewed life by the fresh voice of May, instead of hush. ing to slumber with the lullaby of Oc- tober. At another point the flames had swept close to large lilac, and this, as we'll as some plum trees bewildered by what must have seemed to 1t . sudden return of summer, put on once more its bridal robes.
 It must be mentioned that the fire lasted only four hours. It will be mo- ticed, therefore, that there was no re- semblance between this sudden blast of heat and the ordinary gradual fore. ing to which plants are submitted Cha ambers' Journal.

Acute Disease of the Kidneys.

Acute inflammation of the kidneys, called also acute nephritis or acute Brlght's disease, is excited by certain poisons during the process of their elimination from the body, or follows congestion, which results usually from exposure to cold and wet, or the sud. den checking of precipitation, whereby the surface of the body is chilled and the blood is driven to the internal or. gans.
 The poisons causing acute innam- nation may be taken into the body from outside, as is often the case with turpentine, chlorate of potass and certain other drugs, or they may be formed in the body as result of faulty action of the digestive organs Qntesinal indigestion), or by the bac- teria of certain acute diseases, such as scarlatlna, measles or dlphtheria. The beginning of the disease may be mark ed by chill, with headache, nausea, coated tongue and pain in the loins. These symptoms are followed by pufl- ness and pallor of the face and swell ing of the ankles, or there may be gen. eral dropsy, with an effusion of fluid in the chest and abdomen. The kid ney secretion is greatly reduced in amount, and may contain blood; on ap- plication of the usual tests, 1t Is found to contain much albumin, sometimes so much that boiling will make 1t sol i'd, like the white of an egg.
 When acute Bright's disease Is e1. cited by chilling of the body, 1t usually subsidies in week or two un- der proper treatment, but that occur ring with scarlet fever often lasts many weeks, and either form may be come chronic. The treatment like that of Inflammation of any other part, consists primarily in securing rest for the organ, and in protecting it, so far as possible, from further injury. The patient should be kept in bed in we'll ventilated room with a warm and equable temperature, the bowels should be kept open, and the action of the skin increased by warm packs or hot-d1r bath.
 Since the most difficult work of the kidneys is the elimination of salts and other waste matters, the diet must aim to reduce the amount of this waste material. The ideal food is milk. It should be diluted with yichy or distill- ed water, to which pinch of bicar- bonate of sodium has been added. The patient should be encouraged to drink in addition plenty of pure water. Three quarts or more of fluid should be talk en in the 24 hours. This Is the main treatment but of course in Sn affsc- ton so serious the physician should be in constant attendance to interpose when threatening symptoms show themselyes.-Youth's Companion.

Jes' the Name.

A woman lives at one of the Kansas City hotels who has the reputation of being rather 1nicky and nard to please in the matter of food. A day as so ago at lunch, after looking over the dessert list, she decided on some ice cream pudding. The meal had been one with which she had had consid- erable difficulty in finding any fault but when she had about half finished the dessert she called the waiter over and said:
 George, what do you mean by call ing this ice cream pudding? There isn't any ice cream about 1t, and you know it."
 "Yes'm," said the waiter. "I know dere ain't no ice cream in 1t. Oats jes' a name they give 1t. don't know why"
 Well" she continued, q think that If they give a dish such a name they ought to make 1t conform to the name, and If you call this Ice cream pud- ding, you ought to bring some ice cream with it."
 "Yes'm," answered the servitor, Out you know We can't allus do 1t that way. You know we doesn't bring a cottage in with cottage pudding"
 The walters reply brought a burst of laughter from the people who heard the conversation, and since then the woman's criticisms of the menu have hoon flaw and ipfrenuenf f-Ksnass City Journal

Responsibility.-No one can escape responsibility to God by a refusal to subscribe to church vows or to under take their observance. Some say they have not assumed obligation to church, have signed no contract and hence are not parties thereto-but the duty to God qs not a contract; 1t Is an existing obligation and can not be denied or escaped.-Rev.

Long Flight by Night.

Nearly all small birds make their long flights at night, spending the day time quietly feeding and resting, so that if on any day in May the tree tops are full of fitting little warblers, 1t is no sign that the following day will find them still there. Some kinds. like phoebes, song-sparrows, meadow. larks, and bluebirds, come very early as soon as the snow Is all gone and the south-sloping hillsides begin to feel warm and "smell of spring."-St Nicholas.
