    THE WAVE'S DEATH.
Is it a dvimm of some sweet unknown land.
That thrills the trembling wave far out at sea?
What strango, wild longing draws resistleaaly
The eager waters to an unknown strand?
Unhindered by the tempest's inighty hand.
From lure of sunny skies and soft winds free.
They hurry on in passionate ecstasy.
And, breaking. <%r upon the faithless sand.
O, restless soul, whoso every yearniDg breath
Is full of vague desires and sweet, dim dreams.
Across thy fur horizon glows and gleams
The dazzling land where passion beckoneth;
Yet shalt thou find, fair as the vision seems,
Liko the lost wave upon the shore, but death.
—Susan Marr Spalding.
A BAGGAGE SMASHER
Between the stories of Conductor Tom
Pope and Sandy McTougal, backed by
Sandy McTongal's friends, one gets a
pretty good idea of Sandy's remarkable
adventure with a voice, or, as Sandy
terms it, witli the devil in a box.
Tom Popo is conductor and McTougal
is baggage master on the Air line, ;
which runs from the Atlantic ocean to
"the middle of next week."
"Most astonishing thing, that hunt of
Sandy's for a voice," said the condnctor,
the other night.
"Urnph!" grunted Sandy, "that may
ho yer way of lookin at it, but I call it
diggin for the devil, and findin him."
"Are you going to tell this story?" in
quired the conductor.
"Not by a long chalk," McTougal an
swered.
Then Tom narrates, and very prettily \
too, how he and Sandy were transferred .
to night runs in August last, and how
lonely the baggage man became because
he was cut off from fellows to listen to
his stories and offer him cigars.
"Yon allers smoked 'em, Tom," inter
rupted Sandy. "I don't smoke, ye
know."
"I did get a good many puffs that
way, I'll admit," said the condnctor.
"They were about the only thing Sandy
ever gave that I could get any light out
of."
"Aro you telling this story?" askcil
McTougal. "If so, tell it."
"Sandy was lonely and miserable,"
continued his friend. "Nobody talked
to him or gave him a quarter for not
smashing their baggage, so lie took to
t brown studies and naps lietwcen stations.
The night of his voice business"
"Devil, I tell you," cries Sandy
abruptly.
" Was a crowded one," continues Pope,
without noticing the interruption. "His
car was jam full of luggage."
"And the more trnnkH Sandy has on
board the crosser he gets. There was a
camp meeting on a switch-off track, and
at the junction I picked up a lot of nob
by passengers who were leaving for
othor places of amusement, and there
was no end of trunks."
"McTougal got things into shape
about 11 o'clock, I reckon, and as there's
a part of the run where it'H a good hour
between stations he got ready for a
snooze. lie picked out the softest trunk
in the pile on which to pillow his head,
tilted back his chair with his feet on the
rounds, pulled his hat over his face and
went to sleep. How's that, Mac?"
"Quite keereet," responds the bag
gago master.
"Very well; then you tell it for awhile.
I wasn't there, you know."
"It didn't seem 's if I'd been asleep
moro'n a minute," liegins Sandy, "when
tliero was a lively jump of the car an I
sort of coino to life with a jerk. At the
same time I lieerd, as if 'way off, a noise
like some one a-talkin. But I thought
'twas a brakeman outside, an was jes'
a-doziu off ngnin when right at my ear,
in a thin, sharp voice, su'tliin said, 'Oil,
Lord!'
"I ain't no fool, I ain't," Sandy asserts,
throwing back his heud defiantly, "an
when that tin whisper comee into my
ear I jes' half opened my eyes 'spectiD
to see some of the boys around. But not
a livin thing was visible. So I said to
myself, 'I snored; that's what's the mat
ter,' an off I goes a-noddin an drekmin.'
"Then agin I hears that voice. It says
quite distinctly, 'I want to get out!'
"Now, I won't a hit mistaken this
time. I lieerd it. But 'fore I could get
my wits together there was a yell sound
in 'way off.
" 'That's my death call,' says I to my
self, instantly calling to mind fellows
who had heard like sounds an were deud
in less'n a week. Then I says to myself,
'Sandy, don't he a fool!' an jumps to my
feet as wide awake as I am now.
"It was a woman's squawk, and 1
could have sworn to it. Then it sung
out in tin trumi>et style:
" 'Help! help!'
"I hauled over the tool cheßt, an the
water barrel, and the cupboard in the
corner, an looked out on the platforms
an did everytliin a man could do under
the circumstances, to find out what was
a-makin of that fuss. I went to the
side door to cool myself, an wasa-fannin
my face when, blaine me! if I didn't
hear a cornet start off with the 'Rogues'
March,' and a gruff voice foller it with:
" 'ln the midst of life we are in
death.'
"I yanked my head round, an didn't
seo nuthin that wasn't there before.
That threw me off my pins. Then a
rooster crowed, an a feller with a cold
in his nose counted ten forward and
then backward, an another cuss, with a
bullfrog voice, ordered me: 'Wake up!
the devil wants you!' You needn't
- laugh, gentlemen, when I tell you I run;
an so'd yon if you'd been thar. I was
certain the devil had come for me —late
hut sure—an I didn't wait for him to
ask for my ticket."
Tom Pope at this point broke into a
stentorian laugh.
"If, gentlemen, you'd seen Sandy
come flying into the car where I was
sitting, you would never stop laughing.
You may not believe it, hut his brown
face was as white as your shirt fronts,
and his eyes were as big as billiard
halls. He dashed down the aisle and
whispers in my ear:
" 'Tom! Tom! Come with me!' "
" 'What's the matter, Mao?' I said.
" 'What ails you?'
" 'Tom, the devil's iu my car. He's
jeen a-cuttin np for half an hour, an
I'm most crazy. If you're my friend
come with me!'
"He wasn't drunk, because he doesn't
drink. It wasn't religious enthusiasm,
because Sandy had no religion. I al
most believed he meant what he said,
and that he had been called for. I got
up in a hurry and followed him.
"I hadn't more than got inside the
baggage car when from among the
trunks something sung out, 'Shut that
door and pull down your vest!'
"Sandy wanted to fight, then," con
tinued Tom. "He danced around that
car like a prize fighter in the ring, until
the voice cried out quite loud: 'Damna
tion!' 'Pshaw!' I said to Sandy, 'That's
a boxed up parrot.' "
"An then the parrot told you you
lied, asserted McTougal.
"Yes," says Tom, cheerfully.
"And then you said—do you remem
ber what you said?"
"No, Mack; but wasn't I at your sido
when we got into the next coach a sec
ond late?"
"We came back with two brakemen,"
McTougal remarks, continuing. "Ono
of them brukemen looked on top of the
car an under it an iu it. He stuck to it
that there was a ventriloquist about,
hut gave that idee up when he couldn't
find nobody."
"We flung those trunks right and left
in a lively style," observed Poi>e, "but
not a thing did we discover—no human
living or dead thing—not a place from
which the noise came We were puz
zled, you may believe; and if the search
had stopped there the road might have
warehoused that coach, for no railroad
man would have traveled in a car that
was haunted. But the end ejtme. While
we were looking in each others' faces,
and frightened in being blocked in that
sort of way, the voice spoke again. It
said very distinctly: 'Let me out! lam
dying—dying!'"
"It was nnder my arm, the voice was,"
Bandy exclaims, "in a big trunk that
had come from camp mceiing. I sung
out for Jake to run for a doctor, if there
was one on the train, an Tom an lue put
that trunk on the floor as gently as if
'twas glass. 'Twas light enough. We
thouglit the poor thing innst he almost
a skeleton. 1 got hold of the sledge
hammer. 'Keep up your courage,
ma'am!' I shouted, 'un we'll have you
out in a jiffy.'
"You should have seen Sandy at that
moment," says Pojie enthusiastically.
"He looked a hero, every inch of him.
He gave that hammer four sweeping
swings. Crash! crash! Rip! tear! Off
came the top, and it was flung clean
across the car. A pile of light, fleecy
stuff followed. A dozen faces looked
anxiously into that trunk, expecting to
see the body of a dying or dead woman.
Sandy seemed bcsido himself with anx
iety.
"We crowded around the trunk and the
doctor knelt down beside it. He pulled
out a lot of rags very carefully, run his
arm down on a prospecting tour, lifted
up a great wad of cotton, took a good
long look under it, rose to his feet and
began to curse everybody and call 'cm
a pack of fools. Then he changed his
tune and began to laugh. I asked liim
a little angrily what ho was making sncli
a fuss alxrat, and if he proposed to take
out the body.
" 'Body! body! ha, lnv, ha, ha! See
here, gentlemen!' and he tossed out the
cotton from the trunk, showing a fnuny
looking machine at the bottom. 'This is
Stringfellow's phonograph that he's had
down to camp meeting,' the doctor said.
'He took one of Edison's concerns and
rigged it up so as to go by clockwork.
The shaking of the car set it in motion.
It's been repeating, parrotlike, only what
was told to it by the saints and sinners.
Very simple, you see. I won't charge
you anything for my visit, conductor.
Good night,' and off lie went.
"Sandy, our friends here want to know
how that dream of yours over that trunk
ended."
"Oh, they do—do they? Wal, gentle
men, I had to pay the cost of that trunk,
an trunks cost in these times. It took a
month's salary to do it. which isn't com
plimentary to the road. I learned ono
lesson. If I ever want ter open nny
man's luggago in future I'll smash it in
professional style."—E. D. M. in New

Woudr of Fluorine Chh.
Silicon, a crystalline substance closely
resembling the diumond, exposed to
fluorine gas, gives a very beautiful reac
tion, showers of brilliant spangles being
scattered in all directions from tlio
white hot crystals, which are finally
melted. As they do not fuse under
2,100 degs. Fahrenheit, one can gain
some idea of the immense energy Bet
free during the combination. Both lime
and chalk under the same circumstances
give a most gorgeous incandescence.
Phosphorus, as one might expect, does
not fail to illustrate its powerful affinity
when exposed to the gas. Prussian blue
reacts very beautifully and burns with
a pink flame. A crystal of iodine placed
in a current of the gas gives a pale
flame, and a heavy liquid distills over,
which etches glass and hisses liko red
hot iron when thrown into water.—

Indian Idol*.
The images of the Gods in India aro
not made by a separate caste, hut the
carpenters and masons respectively
make the largo wooden and stone idols
set up in the temples, the potters the
clay idols consumed in daily worship,
and the braziers, coppersmiths and gold
smiths the little images in brass, copper,
mixed metal and gold and silver that are
always kept in private homes. The East
Indians regard an alloy of brass with
six other metals—gold, silver, iron, tin,
lead, making with the copper, and zinc
of the brass, a mixture of light metals—
as a perfect alloy, and this Ib high]}
prized as a material for sacred Images.

A Heifer In a Bathtub.
A number of cattle were landed at
the Weems line wharf yesterday morn
ing. Their driver was Jaines Groucher.
The animals seeming quiet, Groucher
started to drive them without any
ropes. On reaching Conway street a
heifer, which had been moving along
very placidly, became very much ani
mated, and made things very interest
ing for the balance of the herd. The
street being too wide for her she danced
up an alley between 129 and 181 Con
way street. A gate blocked her way,
but only momentarily. Through it she
went, and then another obstacle pre
sented itself, Mrs. Emma A. Pbole, who
proved to be no more of a stop to the
heifers onward progress than Fort Car
roll would be to a modern man-of-war.
In a moment Mrs. Poole was knocked
to the -ground, and in the kitchen it
went. There some destruction of prop
erty was committed, but not enough to
satisfy the heifer.
The dining room was next entered,
where the well known quadruped-in-a
china-shop scene was re-enacted. The
hallway was then tuken in. and a lamp
was knocked down. The heifer wanted
to conquer higher worlds, so she went
upward into a bedroom. Here, tem
porarily, repose was sought on the bed,
but it fell under the animal's weight,
other damage being done during this
occurrence. From here, the weather
being warm, her heifership went into
the bathroom and hopped into the butli
tub. Mrs. Poole then commenced call
ing for help, and, with the assistance of
a blue coated soldier, drove the animal
out, and she at once sailed up Hanover
street and there entered another house,
but did 110 damage. The driver finally
caught the animal—Baltimore Ameri
can.
An inrutiiuiea Tomcat.
Miss Ethel, daughter of D. W. Pease,
of West Carrollton, is the possessor of a
Maltese cat. Early in the spring the cat
deserted his place in the house and took
up his abode with the chickens, remain
ing day and night in the chicken yard.
Ho soon formed an attachment for an
old black hen, which was reciprocated,
and the two became inseparable. Thus
matters went on for some time, when
the hen, rememliering that the usual
season for multiplying and replenishing
her species had arrived, selected a nest
in the poultry house and made known
her intentions in the usual way. She
was at once supplied with the necessary
eggs and commenced business. This, it
was supposed, would end the rather
strange flirtation and Tommy would re
turn to his mat on the porch, but not so.
Judge of the surprise of the fumily on
going to the poultry house the next day
to find that his catship had taken pos
session of the adjoining nest with the
nest egg and was sitting in the most ap
proved fashion.—Cor. Dayton (0.) Her

A Guuily Filiform.
Warden Anil has adopted a novel
method of keeping track of such con
victs as are continually planning to es
cape. Thursday morning he surprised
three of the most incorrigible by
dressing them up with a flaming red
flannel blouse and cap. Across the
back of the blouse in plain view is a
broad white strip of canvas marked in
large, plain letters, "Convict No.
The pants are the regulation stripes. It
was a great surprise to the convicts.
As they marched to the canal they
were subjected ton great deal of raillery.
The warden says these three have kept
the officers and guards busy for some
time trying to keep run of them. With
these suits 011 they can be easily watched
from the various posts and their every
movement noted. All who attempt to
escape hereafter will be treated in like
manner.—Folsom (Cal.) Telegraph.

The Georgia fruit crop is a big tiling
this year, and everybody is interested in
knowing what the growers will make
out of it. In the peach and grape crops
alone conservative estimates show that
about 500 carlouds of peaches and 100
carloads of grapes will leave the state
for foreign markets during the present
season. The estimated receipts for the
peach and grape crops combined are
$750,000.
Reports show that the peaches are
well formed, of good size and perfectly
sound, and this, together with the de
crease in yield from last year, makes
good prices and ready sales an assured
fact. Other important fruit crops will
largely swell the total sales, and lots of
summer money will bo put in circula
tion where it will do good.—Columbus

A Queer Story of Two Apple Trees.
About sixty-four years ago Thomas
Carr, living near Medora, in Jackson
county, set out an apple orchard on his
farm, about one-half mile southwest of
Middleville, and having two apple trees
left he gavo them to his sons, John F.
and G. W. The boys set these trees out
along the fence, near the orchard, and
they both grew well. John was the
first to die, and on the day he died hi
tree fell. G. W. lived to be an old
man, became known as a colonel, was
chairman of the convention that framed
the present constitution of Indiana and
died only a few days ago at Crawfords

also fell on the same day he died.—Cor.

A Summer Suggest ion.
A suggestion for a summer dinnei
table from a recent book on home deco
rations is to have "pink lampshades,
largo clear glass fish bowls filled with
red, pink and yellow roses, and soft
sashes of torquoise silk meandering
among the flowers, and tied in a large,
careless bow at either end."
Several observant ladies have discov
ered that vegetarians have clear com
plexions, and have either renounced the
use of meat entirely or partake of it
sparingly. Lady Paget, wife of the
British ambassador to the Austrian
court, is one of the recent converts to
vegetarianism.
Your pansy garden must be kept wet

It is an interesting fact that the
