Each sacrifice a sure return --
The grace and loving aid of God.

Awl Iouk aiott with reverend eyes—
To count my worldly g;uius but dross
Compared with treasures in the skies

As mine has been, and jet may be;
'That olden loves be ever new,
"Unaltered by adversity.

And pass my faults and follies by.

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. He Is

Sunday at the Farm,

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.

What pretty critters God has made, and
loves 'em, too, I'll bet!
I know the city pretty well; I lived there
once a while,
But I was the houiesiekest boy you'd

The very horses ou the street looked sad,

There wasn't no Dolts a-1'riskin' roiled
nor lambs as I could see.
So when inIuue the breezes blew across
the prairied west,
I packed my grip and told 'em 1 had got

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.
We've had our troubles, wife and I, we
buried little Dot;
Upon that slope we made her grave—a

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.

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•

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.

"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

are thrust out in right lines or curves?
Why is our common yellow birch

upon a rock? Why do oaks or chest-
nuts so often spring up where a pine

Why does the bolt sometimes scatter

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-

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

No man ever reached a joy by jump-

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.

HAWTHORNE'S WORKS.
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
