IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN TIIE TIMES • IN THE ROUNDHOUSE' THE ATTENTION THAT IS BESTOWEO UPON THE LOCOMOTIVES. onatant and Camelot Grooming entrees by the Great Iron Horses of the Itufl.-flow the Tires of the Iiia Driving "Wheel* Are Tightened. Any one at alt familiar with rail- roads has seen the eugiueer dismount from the cab, oil can In band, as soon as the train has one to a stop at Bente way station; seen Mtn walk slowly about the ponderous machine, feeling of each bearing with Ms free hand as be filled the cups with oil; seeu bttn pbr- baps tap a valve gently with a wrench or examine critically some lit working air pump. To any man all this Is Interesting, but how many are there bis all the vast crowd that enter the city daily at the great terminals who can tell offhand what becomes of the train when once the cars are emptied of the passengers? To be sure, they have seen the cars on a siding out in the yard. They know perhaps that a roundhouse is a place where epgines are kept when not in actual use. But beyond this the ideas of the ordinary man are a bit hazy. As soon as the passengers have left a train that has just come in from a long dusty ruu it is backed out into the yard, and the ears are set off on a side track. Men go upon them at once and begin to put them in readiness for the next trip. The windows are wash- ed, cars freed from all filth avid dirt, seats cleaned, water tanks cared for and the lighting apparatus put in order. The locomotive, after leaving the cars, proceeds at once to the round- house, where the ponderous machine also receives a proper overhauling. First of all, the tanks are filled with water and the fuel supply is replenish. ed. Then a few puffs bring the Are box above the ash pit, where the fires are cleaned and dumped altogether. The next thing is to stable the great Iron horse. The roundhouse itself is a most unin- viting place, with its soot begrimed wails and smoky interior. These build - lugs are all constructed on the same general lines, low, one story structures, generally built of brick and semicircu- lar in shape. Tlie center of the circle Is the center gf the turntable. Ar- ranged along the inner side of the building is a line of doors, each exactly like its neighbor. 'Under each runs a track of standard gauge, giving the whole an appearance not unlike a spider's web, the center of which is the turntable. The turntable itself consists of a pit walled with stone, across which is a bridge free at the ends, but balanced at the center on a spindle. Rails are laid across this, as if it were a part of the roadbed. When the fires of the locomotive have been cared for the engineer runs his machine upon the table. With deft hand at the throttle, be brings it to a stop at the precise point where the hundred tons of steel balance on the spindle that supports the bridge. Then the ponderous mass is slowly revolved until the required track is reached and the engine is hacked into the round- house. Once within the house the engineer's duty is done. He has but to go to the office and report in a book prepared for the purpose any iepalrs that are need- ed, and he can go home, assured that d his machine will be ready for him when be starts on the next run. The engine is now turned over to the roundhouse crew, who go to work on it at once: The attention that a locomo- tive receives ou arrival at the round- house is about the same that one would expect to see bestowed upon a race horse. Wipers go over every inch of the surface carefully, removing all dust and oil. Others drop into the pit beneath the machine and wipe the run- ning gear. The headlight is carefully cared for and the brass polished. In fact, the whole machine is put in first class shape in every way. Throughout this work keen watch is kept for any signs of broken parts, and any found are repaired. The hundred or more Sues are cleaned by steam pressure. Air engine seldom comes to the house that does not need repairs of some sort, The delicate mechanism is con- stantly becoming broken, and unceas- ing attention is required. One of the most interesting of all the repairs that are made in the round- house is the tightening of the tires on the drive wheels. Each wheel Is sur- rounded with a heavy steel tire. These occasionally worst loose, and it be- comes necessary that they be tightened without sending the locomotive to the shops. To do this a stream of oi1 is fed au- tomatically upon the tire and allowed to burn as it runs down. The result is that the whole rim is soon a circle of flame. This is kept up for a long time, anti the tire, being heated faster than the wheel itself on account of the prox- imity of the fire, expands until the thin pieces of sheet iron can be inserted be- tween the wheel and the tire. When the tire has again become cold it contracts and clutches the wheel hard and fast. Tho cumbersome repairs, such as turtling dope evOril drive wheels and replacing boilers, go to the Shops, where lathes, cranes end Porges are to be bad, But all the minor troubles are rtrmeclied at the "stables," and the fore- guaail of the Y•otindhouse is responsible tor the condition of the engines.

Bose, in Uhieago Iierltld,) On Sunday mornings years ago, when but a little lad, I used to come to salt the sheep in title same field with dad, The little clouds that floated round, I thought were bits of wool; The sky was blue as it is to -day and calm and beautitul. Now dad is gone, and mother, too; they lie up on the hill, Just by that clump of popple trees be- yond the old red mill; Fur Time has kept a ereepiu' on and you and litre men, And little Robbie thinks the thoughts that .l was thinkin' then.

So when inIuue the breezes blew across the prairied west, I packed my grip and told 'em 1 had got enough, I guessed! Of course, there's only city folks who keep their faith in God and man, Though it they stay there all the while I don't see huw they can.

THE BODY QF THE SUN, Isr ate Denetty It homemade* home- what a Globe of Tar, It is generally agreed that the Main body of the sun --the nucleus within the photosphere --must be purely gase- ous. This seems to b0 an unavoidable couelusIon from the faun's low mean density and its tremeudous internal temperature, wliteli must almost cer- tainly be far higher than that of its outer surface, so liiglt that even the enormous force of solar gravity is able to compress the vapors to a density on- ly' one and four -tenths that of water, although among the constituent ele- ments are euany of the metals (1'on be- ' ing the most couspicuouk) which in the solid or liquid state are from three to eight times as dense. The reader must not imagine, however, that this gaseous nucleus is like air or other gases as we encounter them upon the earth. Denser than water and strong- ly viscous from the heat, it more re- sembles a globe of tar except near the outside. 'There the vapors relieved from pressure are free to expand and to cool both by the expansion and by radiating beat to outer space 10 a re- gion of powerful currents, ascending, descending and cyclonic. The photosphere or luminous surface is generally believed to be what it looks like—a sheet of clouds enveloping, the nucleris and consisting of minute drops and crystals formed from those vapors which condense at the highest temperatures. These clouds float in an atmosphere composed of the perma- nent gases like hydrogen and helium mixed with the more numerous vapors which condense only at far lower tem- peratures than those that foi'm the clouds. As to the substances which compose the cloud particles, opinions are unsettled,—Professor C. A. Young in Harper's Weekly. THE COOKBOOK. Salt In the oven under baking tins will prevent pastry scotching on the bottom. If It is desired to keep cakes moist put them in a stone jar. If crisp cakes are preferred use tin as a receptacle. *hen weighing molasses sprinkle the• scale well with flour, and then it will slip off again 'quite easily without stick- ing. The best way to mash potatoes is to rub thein through a wire sieve. Yon can then be sure there are no lumps left. For luncheon or supper serve the bread and butter in the form of sand- wiches. Cut the bread thin and re- move part of the crust. Cut in strips after buttering or in rounds with a bis- cuit cutter. By cutting old potatoes into very small balls, allowing them to soak for three or four hours in cold water, then boiling in cold salted water and serv- ing with cream sauce, a very good sub- stitute for new potatoes is obtained. A Game of Catch. Somebody once twitted John Gra- ham on the way David Dudley Field and he were drifting apart—be remain- ing in the harness as a criminal law- yer, while Plebe was selected by his state for the exalted duty of codifying her laws. "It is sitimiy a game of catch be- tween Field and myself," he answer- ed. "He tries to put up as many baits as possible, all uniformly strong. Then I go around and try them and see how many weak places I can find." "Which beats, Mr. Graham?" he was asked. "Oh, I think I do in the long run," he responded. "Field never succeeded in keeping me out as many tiines as 1 have succeeded in breaking in." East Indian Nantes. Mercantile clerks with many letters to write to India tradesfolk are to be pitied.

A Case of Neeesnity. "My son," said the parson to a small boy' who was digging, "don't you know that it is a sin to dig on Sunday except in case of necessity?" "Yes, sir," replied the youngster. "Then why don't you stop it?" asked the good man. 'Cause this is a case of necessity," replied the young philosopher. "A fel- ler can't fish without bait." A■ sic Interpreted It.

Some of the Matey Thing* That Find No Hexer I+xplanattoa.. Whatever opens up new doors or windows for us into the world about us, whatever widens the field of our interests and, sympathies, has some sort of value, says John Burroughs in Country Life In America. Brit lunch of the so called nature sthdy opens nee new doors or windows, It affords no mental satisfaction or illumination or aesthetic pleasure. It is mainly potter- lug with dry, unimportant facts and. details. Do you know the edelweisal flowers or our own matchless arbutus After you have merely analyzed and classified theta? No more than you know a man after having weighed and measured him. Tire function of things is always interesting. 'What do they do? How do they pay their way in the rigid economy of nature/7 How do they survive? Why do the roots of tree$ flow through the ground like "run- nels of molten metal," often separating and uniting again, While the branches are thrust out in right lines or curves? Why is our common yellow birch more often than any other tree planted upon a rock? Why do oaks or chest- nuts so often spring up where a pine or hemlock forest has been cleared away? Why does lightning so con. monly strike a hemlock tree or a pine or an oak and rarely or never it birch? Why does the bolt sometimes scatter the tree about and at others only plow a channel down its trunk? Why does the bumblebee complain so loudly when working upon certain flowers? Why does the honeybee lose the sting when it stings a person, while the wasp, the hornet and the bumblebee do not? How does the chimney swal- low get the twigs it builds its nest with? From what does the hornet make its paper? I have never been greatly interested in spiders, but I have always •wanted to know how a certain spider managed to stretch her cable squarely across the road in the woods about my height from the ground. SENTENCE SERMONS. The aimless life cannot be the end - lea life. A rough diamond is worth much pol- ished dirt. There is no comfort where no com- passion is. They who put pleasure first are the last to find it. Awkward deeds are better than elo- quent dreams. The finest music heard in heaven is made on earth. No man ever reached a joy by jump- ing over a duty. Wandering afar Is not essential to the welcome of home. Finding flaws in the sermon is easier than following it any day. People who advertise their troubles never clear off their stock. There Is no promise of pardon for confessing the sins of others. Living on a Few Cents a Day. The problem of living on a few cents a day is not so difficult of solution if one cares to limit oneself to the actual necessaries. For instance we could point to the workers in the turpentine forests, who labor hard from sun to sun on a bill of fare that costs not more than 5 or 6 cents per meal. The average ration of a turpentine "hand" p in the woods per week is five pounds of bacon or pork, one peck of corn- meal, one quart of molasses and a pint of salt. The value of this ration is about $1 to $1.10. The real problem, then, is not really bow cheaply may one live, but how many of the extras of eating one is willing to do without. Where He Made His Start. .A. squire in a certain town had just-,, finished marrying a young couple andd' proceeded In a paternal way to give there good, solid advice. Turning to the bridegroom, he said: "Never spend your money extrava- gantly and be saving in every way possible." The bridegroom listened respectfully and then remarked: "Well, judge, we might as well begin on you." And he proceeded to give the squire 50 cents for tying the knot. «ltonewall's" Comment. At a council of generals early In the civil war one of them remarked that Major — was wounded and would be unable to perform a certain duty for which he had been suggested.

Victims of nervous diseases are most to be pitied because their ailmeut usually terminates in mental or physical helpless uess. Paralysis, locomotor ataxia and insanity nail only be avoided by building up the nervous system at the first signs of trouble and there is no preparatiou so well suited for this purpose as Dr, Chase's Nerve Fool, the great nerve re- storative. It is claimed that the Pan -Presbyter- ian Council, that has just closed its sessiou in Liverpool, that there are now in the world's Presbyterianism 5,137,$28 communicants. The 'last Methodist Ecumenical Conference in 100i claimed 7,659,285 Methodist communicants throughout the world. Nearly fifteen years ago a man entered the First National Bank of Denver and walked into the office of David H. Moffat, the president of the bank. He had a bottle in his band that he said eontained nitro-glycerine, and threat- ened to blow up the bank unless he was given a large sum of money. Mr. Moffat sent for the money, and among tho bills was one of $J0,000 denomination. Re- cently the Government called in all $10,000 bills, and the one given by Mr. Moffat is the only one that has not been presented for redemption. No trace of the man who got the money was ever found.—Minneapolis Tribune.

The high Standard They nave Set For American Literature, Two things are to be remembered when Hawthorne's name is mentioned. First, the glory he reflects upon Amer- ican literature. Little has been done by us in letters or art that is quite of the highest order except,the works of Hawthorne. These have the clear promise of perpetuity, The themes as of supreme and universal moment. He rises to their meaning and depicts them in commensurate form. He is not a preacher to cry aloud, but au artist who paints, yet not without a heart that throbs in pity and a fancy that muses over the wonder of it and will not suffer the pall of darkness to hang over it forever. That we have In Haw- thorne an author whose work in these high fields of thought Is crowned with unimpeachable honor and is sure"ot perpetual remembrance is a constant satisfaction as years go by. But Hawthorne has a wider claim upon our gratitude—namely, the fact that; he has set the seal of glorious achievement in letters upon the moral laws of our nature. The greatest things done in literature have been of this sort. They alone, from Job dotwn,. are remembered and cherished In the ages. Hawthorne Is our only exponent of genius in this field, and how superb- ly has he tilled it! His message is that of Dante and St. Paul and all great moralists—whatever a man does to an- other he does to himself, whether it be good or evil. Men will forever dwell ell in this truth and will never forget those gifted souls who see it clearly and set it forth in perfect forms of lit- erary art.—Century. At the Top of tite Ladder.

His mother was enthu- siastic over his good fortune. "Do you know," she exclaimed, "they've given him such a splendid po- sition. Hes the crime editor at the,pi- lice court!" An Old Fashioned salve. An old recipe used for over 100 yes rs In the writer's family and excellent i'or gatherings, cuts, chiiblains, etc., is made thus: Put one-quarter of a pound of pure beeswax, one-quarter of a pound of rosin and one-quarter of a pound of mutton suet (freed from all skin) into a jar and place the jar In a saucepan of boiling water.
