"The idea of concentrating foods has
been getting in its work In preparations
for soups. A little box holding less
than a quarter of a pint has concen
trated within it vegetables and meats
sufficient to make a quart or more of
soup. A genius out in California dis
covered that SO per cent, of the potato
is water. He proceeded to drive away
the water, and then shipped five times
as much potato as it was possible to
ship before desiccation.
"Don't you remember that it was
said at the time of the war that prices
were so high in Richmond, Va., that
people brought their confederate money
in a basket, and took their family sup
plies of meat and vegetables home in
their pocketbooks?"We're coming to
pretty much the same thing if this con
renrratioTi grjes -on. It does not take
much imagination to see that the time
may be near at hand when the grower
of garden.truek will take his stuff not
to the grocer, ont to. the. back door of
the manufacturing chemist, who will
. make it into various vegetable ' ablets.
"Then we shall have our tomatoes in
tablets, our parsnips in pilules, and let
tuce in lozenges. The pint of milk
will be represented in a tablet the
size of a trouser button. . This is not
at all fantastical. Some time ago a
chemist announced that he could and
would produce food to sustain life from
ordinary coal tar, and that to it might
be given the most delicate and entranc
ing flavors, and it might be made
charming to the eye.
"If vegetables and other things that
are now perishable are thus made into
tablets, it is easy to see that there will
not be the-.waste that we now have.
Gcod-bye to the garbage man, who
now: carries away the profit of the
grocer in his-odorous wagon. With the
tabule business in full : swing, there
would be no need;for the grocer. He
would go, and the places that have
known him would know him no more
forever. In ids place there would be
fellows along the street with little
trays in front of them, like suspender
and shoestring men, selling all kinds
o? vegetable tablets. More than this-"

The Happy Side la Fiction.
Mr. Marcus Stone bas opened up a
subject which, were our silly season
not so packed with wars and rumors of
wars, might well provide the public
with a theme whereon to moralize in
print. Talking to an Interviewer for
the benefit of the "Young Man," Mr.
Stone declared that both in literature
and art it is easier to-picture sorrow
than joy. According to Mr. Stone
much of our modern realism, with its
depressing morbidity and its gloomj
philosophy, is due solely to the ease
wherewith it can' be produced. "I hav<
. only to paint a coffin on a trestle ii
an empty .room," says the artist, "am
I cannot help impressing somebody.'
The real difficulty is to paint the brigh
and happy side of life, to give th?
world mirth and refreshment. We an
inclined to agree with Mr. Stone. Th<
average reader of the books, at anj
rate, prefers the book that makes hin
happy, to that which closes in sorrow

COLORADO'S BURNING MOUNTAIN.

Years.

situated just west of here. So close is
it that its shadow envelopes the town
at 5 p. m. at this time of the year, and
yet the people hereabouts think no
more of it than of the beautiful Grand
river which washes the feet of the huge
pile wbe/e the fire has burned so long.
To the tenderfoot, however, the glitter
ing patches of deep red lire, where it
breaks out on the side of the moun
tain, and is exposed to view, there is
nothing in all this state quite its equal.
The lire is fed by a big vein of coal
which the mountain contains. Just how
the coal became ignited is not known.
The oldest resident says it was on fire
when he came here, and the Tte In
dians, who once lived in this section,
say it was bunting many years before
the first white man crossed thc conti
nental, divide. The supposition ls that
the coal was ignited by a forest fire at
an early date in the present century.
. It has smoldered and steadily burned
until tliis day. At night, when the
moon ls dark, is the best time to .see
the fire. Then it is that it resembles
the regions of inferno as given us in
the ..word-painting of Dante. The
earth covering the coal ls loosened by
the heat and falls away, exposing the
sheet of fire.
The.escaping gas probably assists in
stripping off the rocks and dirt, and
wherever the vein of coal approaches
the surface the fire can be seen.. The
first fire I saw was fully 50 feet square.
It had a peculiar red tint, while the
burning gas coming up at the base of
the coal vein added a bright blue color
ing to the .scene. lu many places the
surface of the mountain has sunken,
'showing where the fire has burned out
its course.
Efforts have been made to extin
guish the fire. Some time ago a com
pany which owns a large amount of
coal land here constructed a ditch from
a point several miles above the moun
tain into which it succeeded in turning
the water which goes te form Elk
creek.
Previously a shaft had been sunken
in the mountain, and into this shaft
the water was permitted to flow. The
shaft was soon filled, but the fire was
above the level of the water, and the
effort was a failure.-Newcastle corre

were bicycling along a country road.
It was a sketching class, and every
eye was wide open for an artistic sub

Just within the fence on the left
grew innumerable graceful stalks,

\ RAILROADS' 1!
ONE of the greatest sources of
annoyance and perplexity to
every railroad superintendent
' the "hobo." The members
of this easy-going gentry have selected
the road cf steel as a natural successor
for their purposes to the "king's high
way" of a century and a half ago. It
is stated pa good authority that the
various railway lines of the country
spend each year more than a million
dollars in attempts to keep their lines
free from tramps.
It is easy to understand, says the
New York Herald, why the "hobo"
prefers the railways to the highways.
In the first place, they offer the most
direct routes between towus, and, in
spite of beliefs to the contrary, the
genuine "hobo" prefers not to stray
any further than ls .necessary from
these centres ' of population. It is
easier to count ties than to pick one's
way through thc uncertainties of
country dirt roads. The- railroad is
never muddy in wet weather nor very
dusty in the dry season. Moreover,
there is rlwnys the alluring possibility
of stealing a ride on the trucks, the
"blind baggage" or within the friendly
shelter of some-box car.
"NV..ile the railway is a great boon to
the members of the genus hobo, it can
not be said that the reverse is true.
In fact, so-great a dislike do thc rail
way officials show to the free and in
dis Timinate use <f. 1'iolr property that
they spend thousands of dollars in em
ploying men to drive the tramps oil
trains and away from the line.
A single line of railway-one of the
more important companies-spends up
ward of $40,000 every year in fighting
tramps, and it is probable that most of
the through lines pay out not less than
$25,000 apiece in attempts to keep their
lines clear of these unwelcome travel
ers.
If these men arc driven off one train
they catch onto the next that comes
along.. If they are sent to the peniten
tiary they serve their terms and return
to the ro..d. No amount bf bealing or
imprisonment serves to discourage
them, and the problem of dealing with
them is a source of continual perplex
ity, to railway officials.
The use of the railways by the invet
erate hoboes menaces not aloue the

property of the companies themsel
but also the peace and security of the
sections through which they pass,
which is practically the same ns say
ing of the whole country. On this point
the oplnlou of an expert Is available,
and Is interesting as showing how the
present lax system of policing the rail
way lines tends to keep filled I he
ranks of the vagrant and criminal
classes. Mr. josiah Plyut, who has
spent many years among tramps stu
dying their ways and habits, says:
"All the great railways are spending
thousands of dollars ou their 'detec
tive' forces, ns they call them, and
they are all overrun bv mobs of ne'er
do wells and criminals. There are no
worse slums in the country than are
to be found on the railroads. Reform
ers and social agit 'cs are accustomed
to speak of the congested districts of
the large cities as the slums to which
attention should be directed, but in the
most congested quarters of New York
City there nre no greater desperadoes
nor worse scenes of degradation than
may be met on the "iron highways" of
the United States. A number of rail
roads are recognized by vagrants and
criminals as the stamping grouud of
particular gangs that are generally
found on the Unes, with which their
names are connected.
"Take the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad, for example. For

could be carried away, the same being
picked up later by the rest of the gang
scattered along the track. The two
men would jump off the train as soon
ns it slackened Its speed sufficiently
to allow them to do so, rejoin the
'push,' and help in distributing the
plunder among the 'fencas' in neigh
boring cities."
The method generally adopted by
the railway companies In ridding their
lines of tramps, and the one which is
being followed by the Central road a-t
the present time is that of scaring tlie
great number of hoboes'away from
the line by making examples of a few
of their number. The Central employs
on its Hudson River division four de
tectives who are empowered to make
arrests in any county of the State
through which the line extends!
These men are the general officers of
the detective force, and in the per
formance of their duty they are able
to call upon other railway employes
who hold local commissions In the Va
rious towns along the line. Since the
order was Issued to use more stringent

The problem of dealing with this
llsance ls a less serious one for the
astern roads than it is for those of
e West. In the first place, in this
irt of the country the tramps are dis-,
lbuted over a great many lines. In

CHINA'S CRUEL FASHION.
Jnppoaed Origin of Biniing tho Feat of
Children.
AH who liavo tho slightest knowledge?
of China have heard of the custom of
binding the feet of Chinese girls, but
few are acquainted with the painful
process adopted to secure the diminu
tive feet which the Chinese prize so
highly? lt ?H not known how this ct viol
custom originated, and the Chinese
themselves seem fo be uncertain as to
when it was adopted, but tradition re
lates that a certain Empress of China,
somewhere back In the twilight of Chi
nese history,.was afflicted with club
feet, and compelled all the ladles of the
court lo Ufiid their feet, in the attempt
to secure artificially tho same deform
ity which nature bad inflicted upon her.
There are two distinct styles of bind
ing the feet in vogue among the Chi
nese, but the process is the same in both
cases, the different results being se
cured by the way in which the bind
ing is done. The instrument used is
a small roll of firm cotton webbing
about tvro and one-half inches wide.
This webbing must have no stretch or
give to it. and is woven especially
for such use. The process is usually
begun when the girls have reached the
age of six or seven years, though in
some cases where a particularly dainty
pair of "golden lilies," as the Chinese
call those poor deformities, is desired,
t?i? binding is begun as early as tho
third or fourth year.
The foot, is taken and all the toes ex
cept tho great toe bent under the in
step, which is thus forced up. When
this has continued for some time and
.the foot has become quito pointed in
shape and the instep considerably
arched, the binding is extended and the
hool and toes drawn together, thus pre
venting ibo . growth of the foot in
length. In the stylo of binding In
north China greater pains are taken to
preserve the pointed effect, while in
Bouffiern China the shortness of the
foot, is so much desired that the point
ed PITPCI is almost lost and tho feet
become mero stumps.
The excruciating pain endured by
Chinese girls in the process of foot
binding is impossible to describe. Tak
en young, while the feet are growing,
they are bound and wrapped so tightly
with the webbing that circulation, is
almost entirely cut off, and the band
' ago is loft on just as long as possible,
often for weeks, for it is a saying that
every dressing of the feet loses a mite
of daintiness. But the worst of it is
that the toiture is drawn out through
a lifetime, for the binding can never
cease. Tho seams and fissures caused
in the foot by their distortion become

women. tb whom it has become the
I badge of respectability, and whose ele
gance and distinction ure measured by
the greatness of their deformity. The
most advantageous marriages aro made
by those whose "golden lilies" are the
most petite, and those otherwise unde
' sirablo become prizes if possessed of
j tiny feet.
Tho custom is peculiar to the Chinese,
! for the. Mongols and Manchus have
I never adopted it: but so dpar is it to
j tho Chin?se that tho greatest emperor
of the present dynasty, who successful
ly Imposed upon tho Chinese tho wear
ing of the queue-as a badge of sub
jection, did not dare to risk his author
ity in an attempt to stamp out the cus
tom of binding feet, though he pro
hibited the practice within the limits
of his capital at Pekin. The work of
j missionaries is. however, beginning to
j make itself felt, and native societies
are at hist pressing to abolish this cruel

A Vt'hnlnbono Arbor.
I Captain John H. Devereaux has re
. fused a cash offer of S300 for tho jaw?
! b?ii? of a whale which was killed in
i tho harbor at Charleston. S. C., about
14 years ago.
I The jaws measure 12 feet each, and
just now they are used as a grand en
. trance to a summer house, on Sullivan's
Island ma<le entirely of the bones from
the wini Ie. Tho house is prettily ar
ranged and the vines which cover it
give it a most handsome .appearance.
Tea was served In this little house the
other afternoon and tho fact was
brought out then that Captain Dever
eaux had just refused the offer for the
bones.
The whale was considered the largest
of its kind that ever drifted to south
ern waters.
Captain Devereaux" is tho supervising
architect for tho government at
Charleston and it was his idea to build
the arbor with tho most artistic effect.
Back of tho main entrance the ribs
have been put up as a covering and a
support for the vines and the large
bone of the whale's tail is used as the
throne seat in the arbor.
