May they, with my readers, I re to see many happy returns of the i l-v- ' i Western Union Telegraph Boys. I Let us make the acquaintance of the J >ys employed by that great corpora- j in, the Western Union Telegraph i impany, whose wires extend over | 'cry State and Territory, and whose J adquarters are in the great building j the corner of Broadway and Dey reet, in New York. If at any hour of j ie day or night you enter a door on the ! ey street side of this building, about tv feet distant from Broadway, you ill find yourself in a good-sized com- ! rtahle room, titled up with some plain inches, on which there are seated a ; jmberof the telegraph boys vAioni you i _e so often in the street. The uniforms ; ' the Western Union hoys consists of tits of dark-blue cloth, with red trimings, and they wear caps to corres- j md. fn rainy weather, each boy ] cars a complete covering of a rubber i nth. and so, for them, an umbrella is < ?vpr neeessaiv. So rapidly are they :pee.ted to do their work, that even i exhort time lost, in opening and shut- | ng umbrellas is held to he worth eontiering. i: The l>oys are not paid by the day or i?ek, but so much for each message derered. This gives every hoy an incenre to deliver every message as ' omptly as possible, und to hurry back j r anot her one. For each message J; hich a boy delivers, he receives two id a half cents, and for each answer | at he brings back to be forwarded j1 >m the oftiee, he receives three cents. '1 lis explains why a telegraph boy is j! ways ready to wait tor an answer. ie amount which a boy can earn in a j y thus depends, it will be seen, on his ' in activity. It is found that the aver- !1 ;e number of messaees delivered from i e main ollice every day is thre.- hun- , ed and the average number delivered r each hoy is thirty-five. A boy who ' a slow walker or inclined to be lazy, ' ill not deliver so many, while a very | tive boy will deliver more.

The messages at the main ollice are re-! ivedon the seventh tioor. from which j n wires connecting with almost all rts of '.he world. As soon as :in erator has written a message that ha? : me in. it is sent down to the ground ' or through a tub". On its arrival j ere, a clerk lakes it and writes on it lumber, beginning with No. 1. for the st messa-re received each day. It is' en put through a steam eopyimr-press, j id is next passed to a cleric, who puts i in an envelope, on which he writes : e number and the address. This clerk isses it to still another clerk, who ! pies, on a sheet of paper properly preired, ti:e number ot the message and e number of Uie boy who is to de- ! er it. The distribution ot the messages non^ the boys is made as follows: ach boy, as he conies into the oflice in is morning nveives what is called a delivery sheetthat is. a sheet of i per with blanks in which to write the j lmbcr of messages, the time of leavg the office, the name and address of le receiver, ana tin'time 01 me monger's return. Kach messenger is j down by his number, and each of them us a pasteboard cover for liis "deliveiy leet," on which his number is written, hese sin.'Cts, ir. their covers, are nut into j rack by the .side of the ck-rk last ientione(i above, and he always puts a icssage, when ready, into tUe rover 1 Rarest him. and calls out the number f the boy to wlioni it bc'onjrs. W hen boy comes back from the delivery of message, ho puts hi* cover into the ick behind tfiose already there, and s-ts r.vn to wait until it reaches the clerk, hrough this method, tliere can be no ; lance for any partiality, and the \ >oner a hoy gets back to the office, the i' >on?'r will another message be ready , irhim.

Many prefer simply raisins instead of the above combination. now to Keep Onions. Onions are best kept in a well ventilated building secure from moisture, by being placed on ahelvings or racks twelve inches apart, one over the other, ! with suitable passage ways between. I The onions are placed on these shelves j about eight inches thick, and kept as ; near the freezing point as possible dur- j ing the cold weather, and a? cold and J dry as possible before that time. They , mavbc kept in a dry airy cellar in the | same manner. Slight freezing does not! hurt them. Indeed they may be frozen ' and remain so all winter, if kept dark I und not allowed to freeze and thaw j alternately. They should not, however, ; tie handled until they are thawed out! naturally, and without exposure to ! light. Another and successful way of 1 keeping them, when they are not to be marketed until spring, is just at the | Lime the ground is ready to freeze^to ' hill them in narrow ridges say tliree j fi'Pt wide, and ns hiifii as- they may be ; nicely piled on the surface. Put clown a i thick layer of straw, on these place the onions, perfectly dry, piling as directed, I hut not more than thirty bushels in a! ridge. Cover all over thickly with dry ! straw and with earth abouteight inches ; thick, and well smoothed and pressed ! down. When freezing weather does j not follow, it will be better that venti- J lation be left at each end,by leaving the j straw exposed, but so no damp can en-' cr. Also it will be better that a twist j of hay, the thickness of a man's arm, ; extend from the ground to the peak of i the pile, at the center. When really ! freezing weather occurs, cover with a j little more earth, and when the whole j is so frozen that the onions are supposed to be well chilled, cover with litter to j keep the frost in. In the spring do not; open until the whole is found naturally I chawed. 1," wanted early, a :ot of heat- j ing manure may l?e laid over the earth j until the frost is drawn out of the pile j naturally. In handling, when placing { either in bins or ridges, do not rub oil'; the outer or dry scales more than can be j helped. They are a natural protection ! to the onion ? Prairie Farmer.

This will keep good two weeks in a closed bottle if kept in | a cool place. Another recipe: One j - ? ? _? -! -r i UlDiespo >niui Ol UlUMiim, um- ui oupiu, one tablespoonful of salt, one-tenth of :i teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, and the yolks of three uneookeri eggs.

Th?: trail leading to the Metamoras j nine is both stoop and narrow, and i winds along the side ot Prospect moun-J :ain from the base to almost the sum-1 nit. Tn places the descent from it is ' rery precipitous, falling off almost per-! ?endicularly for a distance of two and j .hree hundred foot. Several pack-j miles have boon killed by being pushed ! iff at these points, but no accident has ! ver happened to the hardy miner and j prospector who pass over it until yes- j ;erday. and this fortunately was not a! atal one.

Power or Nea Breakers. From experiments which were made ( some time since at the Bell Rock and j Skerry vore lighthouses, on the coast of I Scotland, it was found that, while the j force of the breakers on the side of the j Herman ocean may be taken at about a J ton and a half upon every square foot! of surface exposed to them, the Atlantic I breakers fall with double that weight, j or three tons u> the surface foot; and j t tins a surface of only two square yards I sustains a blow from a heavy Atlantic j breaker equal to about fifty-four tons, j In November, 1S24, it heavy pile blew, . and blocks of limestone and granite, j from two to live tons in weight, were j washed about like pebbles at the Ply- j mouth breakwater. About 300 tons ot such biocks were borne a distance of; 200 loot, and up the inclined plane of the | breakwater, carried over it, and* scat- I t'-rod in various directions. A block of limestone, seven tons in wnight, was jn 1 one pla?r> washed a distance of 120 feet. I Blocks of three tons' weight were torn j away by a single blow of a breaker, and | hurled over into the harbor; a*'d one of two tons, strongly trenailed down I upon a jetty, was torn away by an overpowering breaker. Jolting- with an English Subaltern. A3 soon as a sulmltenl joins his regiment, he is submitted to a course of practical jokes, ill- treatment and bullying all round, to which he.mupt oiler no resistance, or his career will be a short one. For instance, a few'years ago a man named Koyd joined a certain regiment, and on his first evening among his new comrades was "drawn." Tlrnt is to say, he was visited in his room during the small hours of the morning and ordered to go down into the ante- } room for court-martial, the charge against him being that he had risen from the dinner table while an officer senior to him remained sitting. Royd being of huge stature and gigantic strength, stoutly resisted and eventually picked up the largest man in the room, carried him out to the landing, jind propped him over the baluster on to the llagged passage below. The effect was magical; in an instant all the hubbub was hushed, and the injured man was raised. Fortunately tho result w:is nothing worte than a sprained ankle and a severely bruised hip. lie took it very quietly, and merely looked up at Royd, who was . standing near, and said, coolly: " I'll have you out for this." Very possibly the new-comer did not think much of the threat, but his career was virtually over; at every nour of the day and night did he have cause to repent that hasty action, and during the autumn maneuvers of that year the climax came. It was in this wise: On a pouring wet day. or rather night, he had to visit the pickets, and as, for- some ite:isou,:he.iiad no horse, was compelled to do the rounds on foot. On coming in after a tramp of some miJes, thoroughly soaked and tired out, lie was ordered to visit yet another outlying picket six or seven miles away. Then was his tormentor's opportunity; he would not permit him to take a troop horse, though lie. himself was riding. Tired,'cola and Wet> this young subaltern readied the picket; sometliing went wrong, as did his temper, and lie swore at one of the men. His fate was sealed. His senior immediately put him under arrest; and he was told by the colonel that he must send in his papers or undergo trial by court-martial. Of course he left the regiment.?London Socictu. ; -i ?rnmmmmm ?' y ' V A Telephone Bonanza. Sixteen months ago, writes a Boston correspondent, the stock of the Bell telephone company went a begging at $30" per share. To-day the stock is quoted at $900. Ita par value is $100 per share. Some men in business six months ago took this stock in payments for debts, because they could /ret nothing else. One of the causes of this rapid appreciation is the proposed consolidation of the Bell and Edison patents, making a complete monopoly, and another extonsive watering of stock is contemplated. The rise in Bell tele phone seems to be solid, but no doubt the prospective business of the company has considerable to do with the altitudinous position of its slock. The first public inile of it was at $110 in .June last, $135 in July, $227 in August, $370 in September, $500 October 9, and $1,000 October 15. Since then tjien tho price has fluctuated between $900 and $1,000. The capital stock at the present time is 1 $800,000, but a company of gentlemen j are going to petition the next legislature of Massachusetts for leave to organize , the Bell company, with a capital of , $18,000,000. Big thing. Phenomenal cases are given where one man, a Sumner street dry goods clerk, bought ten i shares of telephone at $55 per share on a venture.

Reclaiming the Great American Desert One of the interesting problems of the near future is the conversion of the arid plains at the eastern base of the rocky mountains into tillable land. The'importance of the question is best comprehended by the light ot the figures of the area of the arid lands. It is said to equal one-tifth of the productive area of the United States. Where it lias been possible to subject the J and to irrigation an astonishing agricultural richnees has been found ; but at present, facilities for irrigation by mountain streams,) extend no farther than from forty to fifty miles from the base of the range. With the problem of irrigation solved,these plains will ':ome to be rated among the richest agricultural region,* of the country.' As a preliminary to practical tests, the com* missioner has engaged the services Mr. Brisben Walker, late editor of the Washington Republic, to proceed to Colorado, and report upon . the possibilities of artificial irrigation, especially with reference to artesian > 'ells, which, in those sections where mountain streams are not available, seem to be the only possible source or supply lor irrigating purpose.". There are now some five thousand artesian wells in successful operation, and the experiments made by the French engineers in the Great Sahara desert would indicate that the plan is feasible. If an inexhaustible supply of water can be obtained from subterranean sources to adequately water the arid lands of the great plains then our political economists must add that immense tract of rich soil to the available agricultural resources of the country. The time would seem to be not far distant when it will be almost impossible to convince anybody that the alleged 44 GreatJAmcrifan Desert "upon the old maps was ever anything else but pure, unadulterated fiction and a wild draft upon the imagnation.

Thoy asked us lor the name of the deceased anrt the circumstances ol hiadeaih, and we answered that we were very desirous ol keeping the matter strictly private. But they insisted' that tho incineration conld not take place unless these Incts were given them, and, under their pledge that they would not reveal tliem, we gave them a!I the facts. Then the coflln was taken into the reception room of the crematory. It is a fire-proof brick building, about thirty feet by fifteen, divided into two apartments, the reception room mid the retort. The latter is of flre-proof brick, and the Area are under it.

The crib is ahaped like an ordinary crib, but is mado ol rods of'iron, i"8t closo enough to hold the body.- The alum cloth was to prevent any smoke or unpleasant odor. The body was not decomposed. Being placed in the crib, it wm wheeled into the retort, and there rested in the rosy light. There was absolutely nothing whatever repugnant to the senses?no flame, no smoke, no odor ol any kind. The alum cloth remained lor some tiino apparently intact. Then, little by little,' it disappeared, as did the body, the pure ashes falling to tho bottom of the retort.
