MENTION THIS
EGO FREIGHTING IN MISSOURI.
4stoaisbing Way of Hauling the Fragile
Load over Bad Roads.
The egg market of Springfield, Mo.,
has become the most important factor
iu the commercial growth of the city.
The territory covered by the Spring
field egg dealers is very large, extend
ing southward far beyond White River
Into the second and third tiers of coun
ties in Arkansas. This extensive re
gion, lying beyond the reach ol’ rail
way transportation, uses Sprluglleld
us a shipping point, and the egg hauler
is more familiar with the rough high
ways leading up the southern slopes
of the Ozarks than any other teamster.
He makes his regular trips the year
around, hauling from 1,000 to 1,200
dozen eggs at a load. From the ex
treme southern limit of the Springlield
egg territory it takes about ten days
to make the round trip in the winter
time, the distance being divided into
four or live sections, each one having
its well-established camping place.
The egg hauler has a way of trans
porting his fragile freight that would
astonish many city people. Ho does
not handle his eggs with great care,
putting each one into a snug little pa
lter box, us they are shipped on the
cars. He first covers the bottom of bis
wagon bed with a layer of hay or
straw, and then begins to load the eggs
for the long liaul over the roughest
roads in Missouri. The eggs are laid
in straight rows the long way of the
wagon bed until the whole bottom is
covered. In order that the load may
lie safely hauled, it is necessary that
the eggs touch one another. When the
first layer of eggs lias been Is placed an
other covering of hay put in the
wagon, and then more of the tender
freight.
Alter three or four layers of eggs
have been put in the wagon the
freighters become apparently reckless
in their work, and proceed with more
speed. They walk about on the eggs
as though they were potatoes, The
protection of the hay and the evenness
of the pressure saves the eggs from
the heavy shoes of the teamsters. Not
an egg crushes under the weight of the
biggest Ozark freighter, After the
wagon lias been filled in this way and
a layer of straw put on top of the load
a weight having a pressure of about
fifX) pounds is used to bold the eggs in
position. Then the freighter is ready
for his trip to the egg market at
Springfield. The teamster drives up
and down the steep and rocky hills be
tween the Boston Mountains and
Springfield with no more care than he
would if hauling a load of lumber. A
few eggs around (lie edge of tho wagon
will sometimes be broken on the trip,,
but the loss is surprisingly small. In
a load of 1,200 dozen eggs not more
than a dozen will be found cracked
when the freighter reaches Spring,
field.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

WHEN A POPE
The? Curious Ceremonies That Follow His Decease and
Way a Successor is Elected.
CONCLAVE OF CARDINALS IN SISTINE CHAPEL.
Once again tho occupant of the Vat
ican at Rome has become an object of
acute interest to the civilized world.
When the news of Leo XIII.’a sud
den illness was circulated recently, it
was believed that his great age and
feebleness would make it extremely
doubtful whether he could undergo
the operation which his physicians de
cided to be necessary. His illness re
sulted from a tumor on the thigh, of
thirty years’ growth, the excision of
which he bore with much fortitude.
His physical condition, however, was
Buch that the slightest indisposition
could only have a serious result, and
the princes of the Roman Church
realized the fact that the day was uot
far distant when another Pontiff must
be chosen to the throne of the Papacy.
This is the story of the death of a
Pope, of the Conclave which follows
and of the election of a new Pope, as
told by tbe New York World and il
lustrated by pictures taken from
Harper’s Weekly:
When he is in his agony his nephews
and his servants will remove what fur
niture they choose from the palace of
the Vatican.
When the doctors certify His Holi
ness to have ceased to live in this
world the Cardinal Camerlengo, robed
in violet, and the Clerk3 of tho Cham
ber, robed in black, will approach tbe
corpse and, tapping him three times
on the forehead with a silver mallet,
they will invoke the dead Pope by tbe

name by which his mothei called bin
in his boyhood: “Gioacchino! Gioac

If no sign of life be given after this
strange summons the Apostolic Pro
thonotaries draw up the Act of Death.
From the lifeless finger the Chamber
lain draws the Fisherman’s Ring of
massive gold, worth a hundred golden
crowns, and, having broken it up,
divides the fragments among the six
Masters of Ceremonies.
The Apqstolic Datary and his secre
taries carry all the other seals to the
Cardinal Camerlengo, who breaks
them also in the presence of the Audi
tor, the Treasurer aud the Apostolic
Clerks. No other Cardinals may as

THE FOPE IN THE EVENING OF HIS DAYS.
(Scene in the private garden at the Vatican devoted to the use of Pontiffs alonp.)
The pontifical nephews and the
Cardinal Patron must quit the Palace
now. The Cardinal Camerlengo takes
possession in the name of the Apos
tolic Chamber, making an inventory
of what furniture has survived the
spoliation. penitentiaries Peter’s
Twelve of St.
Church with chaplains see the body
shaved and embalmed with new per
fumes. They vest it in the pontifical
habits, crown it with a mitre and
place a chalice in the hands.
The great bell of the Capitol, which
only sounds when the Pope is dead,
knells unceasingly.
After four and twenty hours the
penitentiaries and the chaplains bear
tbe corpse upon an open bier to St.
Peter’s Church. Canons meet them.
The ordinary prayers for one dead are
chanted.
The dead Pope lies in state on a
lofty catafalque, where many tapers
burn in the Chapel of the Holy
Trinity.

the dead Pope’s creation will put in
gold aud silver medals, having the
effigy of their benefactor on one side
and some notable act of his upon the
other.
The leaden coffin is placed inside a
casket covered with cypress wood and
walled up in some part of the Basilica.
If the Holy Father shall have chosen
his place of sepulchre, either when
living or by his will, the translation
of his remains must not take place
until at least one year shall have
elapsed, except a vast sum of money
be paid to the Chapter of St. Peter’s
Church.
During the vacancy of the Holy See
affairs are administered by the Car
dinal Camerlengo, assisted by the
Lord Louis Oreglia di Santo Stefano,
First Cardinal Bishop, Dean of the
Sacred College and Bishop of Ostia
and Valletri; by the Lord Miccislas
Ledocbowski, First Cardinal Priest,
and by the Lord Theodolphus Mertel,
First Cardinal Deacon.
The conclave must assemble ten
days after the death of the Pope. The
cardinals go in procession, two and
two, according to their rauk, sur
rounded by the Swiss Guard and
singing “Veni Creator Spiritus,” to
take possession of the cells assigned
to each by lot.
These cells are erected in a hall of
the Vatican communicating with the
Sistine Chapel. They are mere frame
works of wood hung with fringed cur
tains. Five are green in hue, because
their occupants were created by Pius
IX. The drapery of fifty-two will be
of violet, because their occupants are
creations of Leo XIII. 1
On one side of each cell is a cur
tained doorway over which the car
dinal’s armorials are shown, pnd
higher still is a little swinging win
dow. Each cardinal has a bed, a
table and a chair.
Having viewed their quarters, the
cardinals go to the Pauline Chapel,
where bulls concerning the election of
a Pope are read. To these the Car
dinal Dean exhorts the conclave to
conform.

j CROWINC MENAGERIE PLANTS.
| a Specimen Japanese Ilex, or Larch,
Several fino specimens of the Japan
ese ilex plant, which have been on ex
bibition in front of a wholesale florist’3
shop in Dey street, New York City,
have met with great admiration. The
ilex, or larch, plant is peculiarly pliable
when young, and the native Japanese
have twisted the plants into quaint
figures, chiefly of birds and beasts. As
a result of their handiwork pedestrians
in Dey street are confronted with huge
cranes, roosters bearing on their backs
broods of young chickens, turtles,
frogs, storks and a multitude of suakes
twisting about in shapes weird and
fantastic,
The plant has a thick, strong root,
from which thousands of, shoots of
green covered with small white petals
grow. The Japanese gardener takes
charge of it when the plant is young,
and by bending and binding the stems
with wire gradually forms it into any
shape desired. As the stems grow
stronger the forms which they were
trained to assume when young remain
perfect, and when the plant is full
grown and ready to transplant the gar

The bird and beast plants in the Dey

this country as an experiment. The
plant is almost unknown in this coun

Forest Life.
Most of the fiercest carnivora, such
as the tiger and the leopard, inhabit
the forests, which are also infested
with the most venomous reptiles arid
the most noxious insects. The cause
of the difference is found in the abun
dance of vegetable food supplied iu
wooded regions. The fruits and roots
attract large numbers of herbivorous
animals and these, in their turn, are
sought for food by flesh-eating ciea
tures. A keen competition arises
amongst the latter, and in the struggle ,
for existence, the strongest and most
ferocious survive. Iu the course of
time, new and still fiercer species re
sult from the law of struggle. Tropi
cal forests, under the influences of
heat and moisture, produce more luxu
riant vegetation than those of tem
perate countries, and, consequently,
they are tenanted by a more numerous
and a more ferocious animal popula
tion. The vegetable products of open
