GETTING UP STEAM.

A Young Ensinssr's Answer to . oruH
and Persistent Examiner.
A bright young fellow came up for
the cadet engineers examination at
Annapolis one day. and the judges
asked him the usual questions, which
he answered readily enough until one
gru6 old fellow frowned at him and
demanded:
"How do you say you proceed to get
up steam?'
, The cadet glfbly described the proc
ess of building the fires, testing the wa
ter In the boilers and all that.
And then?" snapped the examiner.
The young fellow twisted his cap in
his hands and thought up a few more
details.
"And thenT' rasped the examiner
once more, pursing his lips and looking
as If something important had been
missed.
The cadet did the best he could, slyly
adding such details as that he would
shut the furnace doors after putting
the coal in. The moment he stopped
the same old question burst out:
"And then?'
''And then," repeated the cadet slow
~. raising his cap to his breast and
gazing at the ceiling, "and then I
should look up to heaven and think I
am ready to 60 home If the boiler front
comes out"-New York Sun.

town near Mons. There were only go
items in the catalogue. but all these
were unique examples, for, it was an
