Cloudbnrsts are sometimes very de- structive of life as well as of property. They come up so suddenly that it is al- most impossible to escape if the wayfarer is caught in the bed of the creek. Camp- ers in the mountain regions usually se- lect the high ground above the creek rather than pitch their tents close beside the gently rippling water which may be- come a roaring torrent while they sleep, sweeping them to destruction before they know that danger is near. It was from neglect of this precaution that many lives were lost in a cloudburst near Mor- rison, Colo., in the spring of 1897. Some people were camping along the borders of the stream, and, as it was just after dark and had been raining heavily, they had sought the shelter of their tents. Suddenly they heard the awful and pe- culiar roar of the approaching cloud- burst. It grew louder every second. {ealizing what had happened, the unfor- tunate campersâ€"men. women and chil- drenurushed from their tents and tried to reach the higher ground. In the con- fusion and darkness some turned the wrong way and were soon struggling in mad torrents. battling with tree trunks and wrecks of cabins and immense mass~ es of moving stone in the bosom of the flood. Thirteen lives went out in that dire night. The bodies found later show- ml the marks of buffeting with the debris in the flood of waters, and it is believed that few if any of the unfortunates lost their lives by actual drowning. I‘he Trick One Occasionally the sudden downpour of fain will be precipitated on a soft, yield- ing soil. and instead of taking the form of a cloudburst with a wave of water carrying everything before it the whole surface of the ground will take on the consistency of molasses and roll slowly but irresistibly down the water courses. This happened in Chalk canyon. near Mount Princeton. in Colorado, some years agoi Chalk clifis are a- peculiar formation at the head of the canyon. the so called “chalk” being of a lime nature, which, after being dissolved in water, quickly hardens again like cement. A cloudburst began high up on the sides of the mountain, washed away tons of material from the cliffs and rolled the mass slowly over the railroad tracks like the pour of lava from Vesuvius. The tracks were covered to a depth of six feet. A gang of workmen was put to work on the deposit, but it oozed in on the tracks as fast as the men shoveled it out. Finally all work was suspended, and the overflow hardened so quickly that a track was built over it. Within six hours of the breaking of the storm trains were running over the deposit. So hard did the chalk become that the railroad has never penetrated to the old tracks. and in the excavating that was done in relaying the tracks permanently dynamite had to be used.-â€"Ainslee’s Mag- azine. He Eats His Succulent Rush Exactly as a. Boy Eats Hi: Banana. If you know where there is a colony of muskratsâ€"and if you don’t know you can easily find out; any farmer or hunter will show you their village of grass houses by the riverâ€"you can have no end of enjoyment by going there at twilight and calling them out. Squeak like a mouse, only louder, and it there is a pointed nose in sight making a great let- ter V in the "water it turns instantly to- ward you. And it‘ the place is all still you have only to hide and squeak a few times, when two or three muskrats will come out to see what the matter is or what young muskrat has got into trouble. It you go often and watch. you may see a good many curious thingsâ€"see "musquash" (that’s his Indian name) dig- ging a canal or building his house or cut- ting wood or catching a trout or cracking a fresh water clam or rolling a duck‘s egg along on the water’s edge so as not to break it, to his little ones in the den far below. And if you like bananas you may sometimes smack your lips at seeing him eat his banana in his own way. This is how he does it: - a 1!_2__ VD uun Lib \l‘l\u .-.- First he goes to the rushes and, diving down, bites off the biggest one close to the bottom. so as to have the soft. white part that grows under water. Then he tows it to his favorite eating place. This is sometimes the top of a hog, sometimes a flat rock on the shore, sometimes a stranded log, but wherever it is he likes to eat in that one place and always goes there when he is not too far away or too hungry to wait. Crawling out to his table, he cuts off a piece of the stump of his rush and sits up straight. holding it in his fore paws; then he peels it carefully, pulling off strip aft- er strip of the outer lmsk with his teeth. till only the soft, white, luscious pith re- mains. This he devours greedily. hold- ing it in his paws and biting the end OE and biting it otI again until there isn’t any end left, exactly as a schoolboy often eats a banana. Then he‘ cuts off a sec- ond piece, if the rush is a big one, or swims and gets another, which he treats in the same way. And if you are a boy watching him your mouth begins to “water,” and you go and cut a rush for yourself and eat it as the musquash did. If you are hungry. it is not very bad.â€"â€"St. Nicholas. Hoaxed the Signet-s. A certain congressman at a meeting of the Past Masters’ club told an instance illustrating how careless men are in signing petitions presented to them. They often do so without looking to see what the caption or the paper is that they sign. He said a petition was circu- lated in “’ashington city in referepce to the colored children of the District of Columbia. After many signatures had been placed on it some wag circulated one in the house of representatives, and it received a number of signatures by congressmen before some one discovered that the heading of the petition was as aquama- “\Ve. the parents of colored one in the house of represent it received a number congressmen before some one that the heading of the potit follows: “\Ve, fhe parents children,” etc. Once More. “What do you think?

Industrially the foreign element in America has been very important. More than 90 per cent of the immigrants who have come and are coming to this country are industrious and sober. They come to better their fortunes, and they set about doing it: with great energy. .The railroads and great public works in this country used to be built by Irish laborers. I am speaking in general terms. W'ithout them we would not have been able to make the great progress which justifies us in be- lieving that our growth in wealth during the past 30 years is more marvelous than anything the world has previously seen. But the Irish have found other occupa- tions, in which they can gratify their gre- garious instincts. develop their wonderful talent for political organization and in large and small ways enjoy the independ- ence to spend and to accumulate which was denied to them for so long at home. They have therefore settled in great measure in the cities and taken up the occupations that in such places are open to them. These occupations range all the way from street sweeping to millionaire financiering and include cab driving, car driving, being porters, barkcepers, clerks, merchants, doctors. lawyers and editors. As professional politicians they have had no peers in the history of the world. They may be said to have a genius for politics. And the Irish who have not flocked to the towns are doing remarkably well. They are farmers all over the country, and their success in the north Atlantic division of the country, on farms that were no longer profitable under native management, has been most notable. As hnsbandmen they are frugal without be- ing niggardly. 'I‘heir remarkable political strength is due to the fact that they have kept together when it came to voting more consistently than any other people. Thackeray says somewhere, his observa- tion being of the Irish in London, that there never was an Irishman so poor that he did not have another Irishman who looked to him for employment and sup- port. This was a tribute to their loyalty, their friendliness and generosityâ€"Ains- lee’s Magazine. How Sudden Fright: or Shock. Af- fect Diflerent Natures. “Sudden frights, shocks or the presence of physical danger,” said a clcse observ- er, “have curiously divergent efiects on difl‘erent natures. The presence of dan- ger will render some men as cool as ice. othersâ€"and equally int-zu'eh-will tremble violently and break into a perspiration. “I remember once llmll'in‘ of a chap who, coming uninjured out of a railroad wreck, worked like a (lemon to assist his less fortunate fellow passengers. All the time he was at work. however, he held one hand to his collar. and when it was over one of his companions discovered that he was holding tight to his necktie, which he had been in the act of tying when the collision occurred. “At the time of the Chicago fire the wife of one of the great millionaires of that day owned the most valuable laces in America, possibly in the world. She had a box made for them of just suffi- cient depth for the handle to prevent its going under the wardrobe. This was done to insure her maid or herself seeing and not forgetting it in case of fire. She saved her jewels, but her laces went up in the flames. as neither maid nor mis- tress remembered in their fright the laces they had taken such precautions to in- sure the safety of. - . ‘ out.» u.u\. u..-v-~. . “I know a young girl who had learned to swim quite well. and one day she as- sayed the feat of swimming across a bathing pool on a wager. There were plenty of people about. and the distance was not great. but when she was half way across some one called out, ‘How deep is it‘:' She let her foot down to find no friendly resting place beneath. 1n- stant-ly she lost her nerve and sank. She came up once, tried to scream, but the water choked her, and down she went again. A. man who was lounging in the gallery surrounding the pool, realizing that something was wrong, jumped in, clothes and all, and dragged her out. He was none too soon. for she was uncon- scious when he pulled her up. It was the sheer fright of knowing that she was out of her depth that caused it all, as other- wise there wasn’t the slightest danger.”â€" New York Tribune. An ling-shaken Believer.

There are few locations where straw- berries are not each year more or less injured by lack of moisture in the soil, and where water can be readily secur- ed for irrigating purposes tl‘n expense of applying it will be well I: paid. Of- tentimes a single applicatuin made when the fruit is about one-half grown will double the yield, and occasionally a crop will be saved which would oth- erwise be lost. Although its use is of less value during the first season’s growth, it will often be found desirable when the weather is dry to make an application in order to promote the growth of the plants. Some growers have received good re- turns where water has been pumped by windmills, steam or gasoline en- gines, but few would care to go to that expense.“ However, there are some 10- cations where water can be taken from a stream and turned upon the land, and there will be no question but that irrigating can be made to pay. The water should be carried in furrows be- tween the rows and applied in suffi- cient quantities to cover the surface to a depth of one inch, which will re- quire about 800 barrels per acre. It is in the home garden, however, tliat irrigation can be used to the best advantage, as the water supply for the house or barn can generally be used for irrigating. 1f sufficient pressure can be secured, it will be best to make use of lawn sprinklers, which can be moved over the beds so as to thoroughly wet down the soil. If the land is thoroughly mulched, a single watering will last for several days and perhaps will be all that will be re- quired. If the needed pressure cannot be secured and panicularly if the wa- ter supply is limited, it will be ad- visable to make use of subirrigation. By placing a line of drain tile below the surface a strip from 10 to 20 feet can be watered. If to be left perma- nently. the line should at least be be- low the reach of the plow, and in case the land requires underdraining the tile may be so arranged as to answer for both purposes. The depth should then be not less than 21,5 feet, and the tile should be laid as nearly level as possible and yet give a fall toward the outlet. When required for irrigating, the lower end of the tile can be closed and the drains flooded from the highest point. If merely needed for the strawberryi crop, in temporary system of tiles may‘ be laid. If put in before the plants are set, they should be covered at least four or five inches. to be below the reach of the cultivator, but oftentimes the necessity is not recognized until about the time the fruit is ripening, and then it will be suflicient if the tiles are barely covered. Care should be taken to have the lines of tile prac- tically level for lengths of less than 100 feet, and beyond this the slope should be very slight. Where the tiles have a greater slope the water rushes to the lower end and breaks through to the surface. When properly ar- ranged, the water should enter the tile only as fast as it soaks through the ioints. In this way the tiles will be kept full and the water will be very equally distributed throughout the length of the tile. While smaller or larger sizes might be used, a three inch common drain tile will give the best results. As most tiles are slightly curred in burning, by placing them with their rounded sides uppermost a small crack will be left on the underside of each joint. and if care is taken that these openings are of about the same size, the water will be very evenly dis- tributed. When the plants me set in narrow beds, a single line of tile along the center will sutlice, but the best reâ€" sults will be secured if the water is not required to spread more than six or eight feet each xx ay although upon some soil :1 much “ider distribution can be obtainedâ€"L. R. Taft. Kitchen Garden Notes. As soon as I can work the ground I plant the peas, and I prefer to sow the early, medium and late peas at the same time, writes a gardener in Vick’s. Next I sow lettuce, radish, spinach and anion seed. and plant a few sets for early onions. When warmer weather comes, I plant the sweet corn. and, like the peas. plant the early. medium and late kinds at the same time. Next, with in- creasing warmth. will come the toma- toes. cucumbers, melons. squashes. egg- plants, etc., not neglecting the parsnips and snlsify. which can be sewn any time in the spring when the ground is in condition to work. The asparagus. rhubarb and horse radish should be on one side of the gar- den. or in some place where the per- manent beds will not be in: the way when plowing. Use wire netting for a support for the peas and limu beans. and be sure to have :1 plot of limes ready for use when the pens are gone.

It is fashionable to-day to have a new heart me every 24 hours. The commonest symptoms of dys- pepsia or nerve trouble, such as pal- pitation, weak spells, loss of appe- tite, and poor circulation, are magni- fied and distorted into serious signs of hart trouble, with the object of frightening the public into taking Heart lumbug this or that heart remedy. If a hundredth part of the heart trouble we hear about were real, the ceme- teries would be filled in a month. A wrong construction is put upon com» mon ailments in order to humbug the people into the belief that heart disease is prevalent, whereas real heart trouble. which is so sadly and 51: {r'ienly fatal when it does occur, is a rare disease. Lopsided arguments cannot convince an intelligent people. Iron is the vital element of the blood.
