The arch will be twenty feet high and composed of huge blocks of stone that will stand the wear and tear of the weather for years. On the inside it will have the same width and height as the tunnel proper and will be constructed in such a manner that the stream of water flowing over it will not per- through. The top of the arch, when finished, will be about fifteen feet above the present bed of the stream, so the latter will have to raised up to its level. This will necessitate filling in for a distance of several hundred feet. As the stream flows over the top of the stone arch it will have a fall of not less than twenty feet on the other side of the track. It will be a precipitous fall, and the winter time, when the volume of water is large, will make a very pretty waterfall.

He had copied it from his ledger. At the top of the sheet there was a rude picture of a soldier on the march, and after it three straight marks. Then there was a scene showing a man at a table eating. Then appeared a bed with a man in it. the amount column there was a picture of a doll and after it the two letters RS. After the picture of the man eating there were forty-two marks. After the view of a man in bed there were fourteen marks. I looked at the ac- count, then at the proprietor, and told him it would take me a week to answer that I was completely stumped, and when that hotel man deciphered the account for me it was picture of the soldier walk- meant March, and the three marks supplied the date, March when I began boarding.

The bed of ice covers an acre of and is protected from the sun's rays by a thick growth of moss, like that which dangles from the oak trees of Texas and Louisiana. The bed is a few inches thick in some places and several feet in others. The formation indicates that it had been spread over the surface in a liquid state, and then congealed. There are several theories as to how it formed, the most plausible being that there is a formation of ether beneath the bed, and that the of freezing goes steadily on through the heat as well as the cold. their interest our price before chasing elsewhere n all brandies.

A small boy in Maine, who brought home a mud turtle from a pond a quarter of a mile away, noticed that whenever set free the turtle set off in a bee-line direction toward the pond. The boy tried to confuse tho turtle in every way he could devise, but the turtle was too smart for him and always started off in the right direction as if he knew where he was going and was to get there in the quickest time possible. And now the boy has puzzled the whole township demanding to know how that turtle knew in what direction his ancestral pond PATENTS all business in the U. Patent office attended to Moderate Fees.

Of course, under any nary system of convict work, and with the average number of convicts, all the roads cannot be made good within the term ears indicated, and we use twenty years to illustrate the idea. But the two prominent facts the matter that our public highways are a scandal and that our criminals are very expensive citizens who And yet When ate compared with there is a showing. for while average liabilities are it for a good price. usually double average assets, I more talk, brought out this year the proportion of assets that the said farmer was then is much In other words, drunk a barroom.

Hill will count whore eyer you may put him and will during his service in the senate be recognized as one of its foremost members. It looks now as if we will be sure to have an end of the long in the Senate, and the matter is just what might have been done long compromise. The last reports bring the intelligence that the opposing factions have about agreed on a compromise which will be satisfactory to enough Senators to insure vote and thereby the end. It will be victory for neither side, bat a little as if the repeal- will get the advantage. The compromise proposed and the one that will probably pass is about as The purchasing clause of the Sherman law is to be pealed but is not to go in effect until Oct. 1st. 1894. The silver now on baud and what may be bought now and nest together with the age, is to be coined, all the bond features to be omitted. Green- backs, etc., of a denomination less than ten dollars are to be called in and silver dollars or silver are to take their place. It is thought this will increase the silver circulation about one hundred and sixty millions dollars The paper to be called in will be issued in bills of a larger denomination and thus the cur- will not be contracted. Thirty-seven Senators had sign- ed a paper up to Saturday night to vote for this compromise, and as soon as enough signatures can be gotten to secure its passage Mr. will offer it as a sub to his bill. This was ex- to be done yesterday. The country will at almost any compromise to reach a vote and will hardly take the to look into the measure to see it is praiseworthy or not, become so tired of the useless wrangle that has been go- on in the Senate. It is to hoped that some of the fellows the Senate have spoken so much in the past month that they will not expect to be heard any more before the end of their terms, when it is probable their places will filled by men who talk less and do more. Perhaps one good result will follow this long tho rides so that a majority may control the Senate. We will all breathe freer now as the orators will rest from their labors.

Secretary latest estimate, based present indications, is that this deficit may reach Secretary has decided that paper currency shall here- after Ge used in making disburse at the New York except when the state of the Treasury makes it necessary to out gold. It is said that this decision was made because of a tendency on the part of the in that section to hoard the gold lately put circulation. The next bill to be taken up by the House will be the Oates bankruptcy bill. There is strong opposition to the bill on both sides of the House, but it is thought that it will be passed. President authorizes the announcement that he will not leave Washington for any purpose until the Senate takes sonic action on silver question. The State Fair was much better attended than was expected. It was quite a success for an year like this and reflects much credit upon the managers and especially Secretary Ayers. Col. J. S.

But in order to make it there are two classes of people that must throw their efforts and co operation, namely, the farmer who produces the tobacco and the buyer who handles it prepares it for the manufacturer. The first sites for a tobacco market are sales, floor and handling room.

I had tried to at stations, and the ticket sell- wouldn't or couldn't change it. ought to have more sense than to bring that said one low, and he looked as though I'd at- tempted to rob him. I retreated downstairs and went into a restaurant and got a glass of beer. When I tendered the twenty-dollar gold piece the bartender went to the other end of the counter, and, instead of getting the change, brought out a big club. I didn't stay to see what he was go- to do with it. went out and walked a block in deep thought. I needed not only that five cents to get home on, but I had to have change for some little things up town, and something to get back down town the next day. For you might as well have had a one-thousand-dollar note as that twenty dollars in my neighborhood. Still I felt that I couldn't reasonably expect a man to change a twenty nowadays for a five-cent check. arrived at this conclusion, and being hungry, and morally certain that I had missed my dinner, I went into a restaurant to get something to eat. They didn't know me in the place, and I was certain to get a square meal anyhow. I ordered a very substantial dinner and leaned back to read my evening paper. Just as tho feed was due the head waiter came to me and asked me to change a two-dollar note. I told him I was do it. In fact, I was greatly in need of change myself. your he asked. gold piece, all I've said I. you can't eat says he. had that worked on us until we haven't got a nickel in the house.

Jewels in astonishing profusion were worn at the queen's last draw- the handsome apart- were filled with costumes which flashed with rainbow colors. The Marchioness of all the seams of her dress-skirt out- lined with diamonds and emeralds, and many seams of bodices were treated in the same way. Birds, butterflies and flowers of jewels, dress and boot buttons of diamonds, many ornaments of turquoise and emerald and amethyst, now in high favor, were worn. And if some one, reading this paragraph, should wish to moralize on the extravagance of these wealthy English dames, let him consider that the seekers for gems, the cutters and polishers, the dressmakers, milliners and jewelers were just so much richer for this fine display than they would have been had all the grand ladies kept their pounds and pence locked up In the bank instead of spending them for their benefit.

Tremendous I waves were running, and the crowd j of excited fishermen on shore knew that it would be fatal for them to I attempt a rescue, as no boat in their possession could live in that sea. Suddenly the one who had in his care the dog Pat bethought him that the dog had been taught to not only retrieve, but to tow boats from one point to another, and often when a boat would get adrift ho would be sent for it, and he would run his nose under the painter until ho would come to the end of it, and he would take it in his teeth and fetch the boat to shore. Pat was at once called. A long cod line was attached to a piece of and flung as far as possible into the water. Pat promptly sprang in, swam to it, and brought it to tho shore. Several times he repeated the performance. The fishermen were In despair. The waves were splashing so high they could not the dog's attention to the men on the reef. Finally Pat seemed to that there was some- thing more serious on hand than he at first thought. He raised his head and looked intently over the water. His eye caught sight of the boat with its signal of distress and the waves dashing over it. When the lath with the cod line attached was again thrown into the water Pat at once sprang after it, took the lath in his teeth, and, in- stead of turning to the shore, struck out through the roaring surf to the reef. Many times he was buried the after a few minutes of intense suspense he was seen from the shore clambering up the side of the reef, and a groat shout went up as the imperiled sailors took hold of him and lifted him into the boat, in an almost exhausted condition. In brief time a strong rope was at- to the cod lino. The men on shore were signaled to haul away, the rope was made fast to the reef and the shore, and one by one the men passed hand over hand from their place of danger, the brave dog following when he had got his second wind.

There Is a colored woman, who a year ago was sent to the poor farm at Kansas City as insane. She was very black, but some months since she began to turn white, and now her body and neck are as white as Any A black band reaches around her head from the chin to the top of the forehead, where It meets a perfectly white scalp.

His load was something bags, which were piled high and which projected beyond the tail of his truck. He had a good horse, but the load was too much; he just couldn't pull it. Coming up behind was a man a big truck, empty, with a pair of big horses. This driver set his pole against tho projecting load of the one-horse truck and spoke to his horses; just lifted the one- horse truck into motion.
