hp was promoted to t>o trnin ilispat<?her
and held that position for thr<-« year*.
At the end of that time hn was pro-
moted to l>e superintendent of tele-
(fruph. For a time he was superintend-
ent of the dining-car wrvlee of tills
road, and while occupying that posi-
tion one of his peculiarities revealed it-
self
Sir William Van Homo hns an Inor-
dinate love of a (food beefsteak. He
supposed flint everybody hail the some,
and he ordered' that side dishes lie abol-
ished on the road, nnd that its patrons
be regaled with the lurRvst and finest
porterhouse steaks to lie found in the
market. The plan did not work, and
the side disheH had to be restored, Su-
perintendent Van Home declaring that
travelers did not know what was (food
for them. For three years Mr. Van
Home was division superintendent of
the Alton. He left It to accept the po-
sition of (feneral superintendent of the
St. Louis, Kansas City A Northern, a
position he held for two years, and was
then appointed (feneral manager of the
Southern Minnesota He held thnt po-
sition for four years, and was at the
end of the perhvl elected president of
the same road, and was reelected three
times in succession. Then he returned
to his old love, the Chicago A- A1 ton, in
the capacit y of (feneral superintendent.
He continued with it for two years, at
the end of which he accepted a similar
position with the Milwaukee A- St. Paul
lie remained therefor two years anil
j then accented the position of (feneral
manager of the < oiiailian Pacific That
was id 1HH'-' In 1HH4 he was elected vice
president, and In IKSS was promoted to
tie president. It Is for his services to
that road that he has lienn kni(fhted.
When the road was opened everybody
predicted that it would not only bank-
rupt the stockholders but would drain
the resources of the dominion of Can-
ada. I'nder Sir William s administra-
tion, however, It has never failed to
iS ?i | pay dividends, and has been one of the

•1 !tiie.a*d a thunderstorm o o
■aid an observant trnvellof man,
"which was accompanied by a oom un%
tlup of meteorological phenomena that
maiie It a inoat wonderful exhibition of
what the elements can do when they
find the oonditionx right. The time at
year, in the first place, waa enungh to
have made the thunderstorm notabl*
without any other unusual happening*
It was early in February, 1 90. I was
in Hammondsport, N. Y.,.where there
are many wine cellar* llammonda-
port is on the wist shore of I*ke
Keuka. This particular day had been
cloudy and unseasonably warm and
cloae
"The clouds grew denser in the even-
ing. and faint flashes of lightning were
fre<iueut. About ten o'clock the cloud*
Iwgan to clear away, and they disap-
peared so rapidly that In a few minute*
the stars were shining brightly all over
the sky, not a cloud being visible any-
where. Between ten and eleven o'clock
the western sky liegan to grow black
with heavy tlouds that Hulled rapidly
up from lie Hind the bill*. With them
came sharp flashes Of lfcfhtning, fol-
lowed Quickly by terrific thunder
claps A peculiarity of the lightning
was the long duration of Its taaliea,
the black clouds being illuminated sev-
eral seoonda at a time.
• While the inky clouds were form-
ing in the welt and rolling up toward
the xenith, with the accompaniment of
glaring lightning and crashing thun-
der, the moon appeared above the sum-
mits of the high hills In the oast and
bathed them and the smooth waters of
Lake Keuka, which stretch away from
their feet. In a flood of mellow light.
The contrast between the tierce and
tumultuous aspect of the western
heavens and the calm snil Ix antlful
appearance of the moonlit eastern por-
tion made the unwonted scene awe-
some in its grandeur. As the march of
the storin vapor* brought them near
the zenith, a furious frale of wind waa
hurled from them eastward. This gale
brought with tt a torrent of rain In ad-
vance of the approaching clouds, and
swept out upon the lake with a fury
that lashed the moonlit and quiet wa-
ters Into a tumult of angry wave*.
Thus A howling tempest, with rnln fall-
ing In sheets, in the full light of tho
moon, became another rare and start-
ling phenomenon attending this night
of strange meteorological condition*
"The moon shining brightly on th«
falling rain had Its natural sequence—
the casting upon the olniny front of
ths advancing storm clouds of a lunar
rainbow of singular vh illness and
brilliancy. Tho bow had a grend
sweep of almost the entire front of the
black background, and Its frequent
disappearance before the more intense
light of the electrical flashes, and its
sudden reappearance when the flashes
ceased, seemingly more vivid than ever
against the Inky blackness, formed a
kaloldoscopio picture in the heavena
such as the elements seldom eombln« «, the /
to present. f ^cognlxe
"The black rloHU rolled on, with in
fiercer lightning and louder thunder.
Before they had advanced far enough
to obscure the moon and the eastern
sirv their western extremity had swept
clear of the skv In that direction, and
there the stars shone out brightly
upon tho retreating clouds. Then ap-
peared the probably unheard-of sight
of a bright starry sky in tho west; the
sky overhead hidden by clouds of the
blackest hue. In fierce electrical com-
motion, and spanned by a many-col-
ored midnight rainbow; In the east the
moon shining brightly In a cloudlesa
sky, illuminating a tempest tossed lake,
and a torrent of winter rain from mm-
tner clcmtlo.
"The Bwreping tumult <>f cloud*

etint, and for 11 lonjr time the terrlflo
thunder utorm raifed. dying away at
lust in distant rumblings behind the
hill*, leaving the lake as calm and
golden In the light of the moon an It

A Happy Morning.
This is the recipe for a happy morn-
ing:
Two small children, boys or girls; t*
sure that they are good ones!
Two wooilen pails.
Two shovels, of wood or metal.
One soa.
One sandy beach, with not too many
pebbles.
One dozen clam-shells (more or less).
One sun.
Two sunbonnets, or broad-brimmed
hats.
One mother, or nurse, within calling
distance
Startthh and sea-urchins to taste
Mix the shovels with the sandy
beach, and season well with starfish.
Add the sunbonnets to the children
and, when thoroughly united, add the
wooden palls. N pre ad the sun and the
sea on the beach, and sprinkle thor-
oughly with sea-urchins and clam-
shells. Add the children, mix thor-
oughly, and bake an long as advisable
N. II.—Do not add the mother at all,
except in case of necessity! Laura E.

The Effect of Ahaenre.
It waa getting along toward the noon
of night, and the young man had not
yet said what he was anxious to say.
The girl, however, had very nearly
reached the point of having what she
was ready ti say said in her sleep.
The last thing she remt*ml>ered his
saying was something alxiut leaving
for Europe or the moon or some other
foreign locality Then he gave a kind
of warning cough, ami she started ner-
vously.
"I)o you believe," he said, "that ab-
sence makes the heilYt grow fonder?"
"I don't Vn'iw," the replied glanc-
ing up at %he clock; aT |v>ss you try
It."
Five minutes later there wasn't any-
one there except herself, and she
looked around, ruhls'd her eyes and
wondered what the funny dream was
