The Race He Won.

In the old whaling days a New Bed
ford captain fell in with a lot Of his
"townies" In the Pacific says the Chi
cago Record Herald, and after q land
ing for water on the coast Of South
America, began a boat race off shore
toward the ships. The old skipper kept
muttering to bis crew to take ii easy.
The others jeered him as he fell be-
hind, but he took 1t cheerfully.
The race I'm after is the race home" D."
he said. He pointed TO a little blight in
the rocks into which the crew could
Just see.
Ever see that rock In there beforeY'
he asked. "No, | guess not. That's Il
COW whale and her calf up there on tho
shore. It's her nursery"
When the others were far enough
away to give him a clear field he made
for the shore. He got the COW and the
calf. The others said very little about
the race he did not win for he was the
first man back to New Bedford.

Publish the Laws.

Among the things which the Legis-
lature failed to do last winter was the
passage of a law providing for the
publication, from session to session, of
the new laws. 1t was decided in one
of those famous conferences at Har-
risburg that the bill should slumber,
and il sIumbeTs still.
But the people will have something
more to say about the work of the
next Legislature, and it is practically
certain that provision will be made
for the printing of the new acts of AS
sembly III a sufficient number of news
papers in each county.
Just now the papers of New York

most particular part of making the

This is usually done by a moulder
The moulds should be made in halves

DINING ROOMS AT SHOPS.

Canadian Pacific railway to provide
quarters in close proximity to the new
Angus shops, where the five or six
thousand workmen employed may be
able to get a good square meal in the
middle Of the day at a reasonable fig
ure- Mealing accommodation being so
poor in the neighborhood of Rosemount,
and no one appearing to be anxious to
open dining rooms and charge rates
which the railway officials thought sat
isfactory, the company decided to take
the matter into its own hands and pro-
vide all the facilities necessary. The
majority of the men are unable to get
home for their midday meal, living
three or four miles away from the
works. so it is expected that the din
ing rooms will be well Datronized
There will be two rooms, each about 140
feet in length by 35 feet in width. They
will be equipped with all the necessary
cooking utensils. tables, chairs, ETC.,
and win be built of red brick similar
ito the kind used in the construction of
the shops. Work has alreadv been
started on the foundations, and it is
expected that they will be completed
and in operation. before the winter sets
in Similar rooms were opened by the
American Locomotive company at
Schenectady a few years ago, and have
proved to be very popular.
