Burlington Extension Probabilities
It is now known that during the past
summer the Burlington made two sur
veys connecting two Kansas lines of
the road with the main line to Denver
The surveys made connect Oberlin the
terminus of the line from Republican
running into Kansas with Atwood on
the St Francis line The other survey
connects St Francis with Haigler in
the southeast corner of the state on the
main line of the Burlington to Denver
The two lines would thus be connected
with the main line to the west as they
are now connected on the east These
surveys would involve fifty five miles of
railroad building would give the Bur
lington a double track between Republi
can City and Haigler would make it
possible to detour traffic in flood time
and during wreck troubles and would
lessen the possibility of congestion of
business on the McCook division
One of the main reasons for connect
ing these lines on the west is that a great
deal of stock and grain from the two
Kansas branches is now shipped to the
west and this must be sent east to the
junction with the main line The build
ing would be a benefit to Denver jobbers
and a detriment to Lincoln jobbers
Another survey made years ago and
partly graded at the time connects Im
perial in Chase county with Holyoke on
the Cheyenne line of the road
It is known that a surveying party
worked several weeks during the sum
mer on the matter of connecting the two
Kansas branches on the west with the
main line and that the line from St
Francis to Haigler presents engineering
difficulties of some magnitude Direc
tor Perkins of the Burlington owns a
big ranch near St Francis Lincoln

Cross Eyed AiiscTn
Near the village of Monterey Mass
in the heart of the Berkshires on a
knoll peculiarly -well fashioned by na
ture for its uses is a burying ground
of the Revolutionary period which pos
sesses more than ordinary interest by
reason of its well preserved headstones
These headstones were cut from a na
tive stone which has endured the ele
ments so well for more than a hun
dred years that the inscriptions are
now almost as easily read as they were
when the stones were set in position
A striking peculiarity is found in the
carvings on the headstones apparent
ly all the work of one sculptor who
had a specialty in the creation of cross
eyed angels Almost every one of the
old headstones is ornamented at the
top with the head of an angel and
each angel face is unmistakably and
painfully cross eyed This characteris
tic has led some guests near the bury
ing ground to call it the cemetery of
cross eyed angels New York Trib

Cooking Fish In Clay
The natives of the north woods
have more appetizing ways to cook
fish than any other class of cooks in
the world I believe said a Tomah
man
The universal favorite hoAvever
seems to be the clay method The fish
is wrapped in the clay without having
so much as a scale ruffled by tho
cleaning knife He is not dressed and
the only seasoning is a pinch of salt
placed in the mouth When the fish is
done up in the clay the package is
placed In the embers of the campfire
to bake When it is done the clay is
cracked open and the scales of tho
fish are found to be sticking in the
clay and the head is then broken off
The delicate flavor of a fish cooked in
this way cannot be described Some of
the cooks have a habit of cutting a
long gash along each side of the dorsal
fin and inserting a slice of fat bacon
This adds greatly to the flavor of tho
fish Milwaukee Sentinel
A Strnnse Thunderstorm
It was a strange thunderstorm that
struck Suffolk England Aug 4 1577
According to Holinshed the tempest
of lightning came through the wall of
Bliborough church and went a yard into
the ground knocking over twenty peo
ple and killing two Then it came up
again mounted the steeple by way of
the vestry door broke the bells and
darted off to Bungay six miles dis
tant There according to another
chronicler it became a fiery black
dog which dashed between two people
kneeling in church and broke their
necks and clawed another man on the
back so that he was presently drawn
together and shrunk up as it were a
piece of leather scorched in a hot fire
Claw marks remained on the door to
prove the reality of the black dog

The Roman Bride Cnlce
Bride cake is a relic of the Roman
Confarreates a mode of marriage
practiced by the highest class in Rome
In Confarreation the bride was led to
the altar by bachelors but conducted
home by rrried men and the cere
mon3 took phee In the presence of ten
witnesses by the Pontifex Maximus
whereupon the contracting parties mu
tually partook of a cake made of salt
water and Hour Only those who were
born in such wedlock were eligible for
the high sacred offices But the cus
tom of breaking a cake over the
brides head when she enters her hus
bands house is borrowed from the
Greeks Avho as an emblem of future
plenty poured figs and other fruits
over the heads of both bride and bride
groom
Pockets In Their Cheeks
Chipmunks squirrels and ground
squirrels take food in their mouths and
with their tongues push it out between
the teeth Into an elastic pouch connect
ing with the mouth thus extending
the cheeks The pocket gophers have
pockets outside the mouth along the
front of the cheeks These pockets ex
tend back under the skin to the shoul
ders and are filled and emptied by the
aid of the fore feet and claws They
are often stuffed so full of pieces of
roots stems and leaves as to give a
very ludicrous appearance to the litt
animal Roots and stems are cut into
pieces about an inch long and packed
lengthwise Leaves are folded or rolled
to fill the smallest space St Nicholas
Whlttleri Good WIhIici
A young woman once sat at a board
ing house table beside a reserved and
awkward country boy whom she de
lighted to tease When she left she
asked him to write in her autograph
album The poem which John G
Whlttier wrote there stands as a warn
ing to other young ladies that she who
laughs first at a seemingly dumb coun
tryman may be herself laughed at
many years later The quaint conclud
ing stanza is
Thy life may nothing- vex it
Thy years be not a few
And at thy final exit
May the devil miss his duo
Water
In consideration of the very impor
tant fact that three fourths of the prin
cipal constituents of the body is water
and that it is far more essential than
food how little heed is paid to the mat
ter of its consumption and purity by
the average person One to two quarts
of pure cool water should be consum
ed daily by every one Eight full
glasses of water daily should be taken
throughout the day between meals

sician in a lecture on dietetics
